Wyckoff Event Detection [Alpha Extract]Wyckoff Event Detection
A powerful and intelligent indicator designed to detect key Wyckoff events in real time, helping traders analyze market structure and anticipate potential trend shifts. Using volume and price action, this script automatically identifies distribution and accumulation phases, providing traders with valuable insights into market behavior.
🔶 Phase-Based Detection
Utilizes a phase detection algorithm that evaluates price and volume conditions to identify accumulation (bullish) and distribution (bearish) events. This method ensures the script effectively captures major market turning points and avoids noise.
🔶 Multi-Factor Event Recognition
Incorporates multiple event conditions, including upthrusts, selling climaxes, and springs, to detect high-probability entry and exit points. Each event is filtered through customizable sensitivity settings, ensuring precise detection aligned with different trading styles.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune event detection with adjustable thresholds for volume, price movement, trend strength, and event spacing. These inputs allow traders to personalize the script to match their strategy and risk tolerance.
// === USER INPUTS ===
i_volLen = input.int(20, "Volume MA Length", minval=1)
i_priceLookback = input.int(20, "Price Pattern Lookback", minval=5)
i_lineLength = input.int(15, "Line Length", minval=5)
i_labelSpacing = input.int(5, "Minimum Label Spacing (bars)", minval=1, maxval=20)
❓How It Works
🔶 Event Identification
The script scans for key Wyckoff events by analyzing volume spikes, price deviations, and trend shifts within a user-defined lookback period. It categorizes events into bullish (accumulation) or bearish (distribution) structures and plots them directly on the chart.
// === EVENT DETECTION ===
volMA = ta.sma(volume, i_volLen)
highestHigh = ta.highest(high, i_priceLookback)
lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, i_priceLookback)
🔶 Automatic Filtering & Cleanup
Unconfirmed or weak signals are filtered out using customizable strength multipliers and volume thresholds. Events that do not meet the minimum conditions are discarded to keep the chart clean and informative.
🔶 Phase Strength Analysis
The script continuously tracks bullish and bearish event counts to determine whether the market is currently in an accumulation, distribution, or neutral phase. This allows traders to align their strategies accordingly.
🔶 Visual Alerts & Labels
Detects and labels key Wyckoff events directly on the chart, providing immediate insights into market conditions:
- PSY (Preliminary Supply) and UT (Upthrust) for distribution phases.
- PS (Preliminary Support) and SC (Selling Climax) for accumulation phases.
- Labels adjust dynamically to avoid chart clutter and improve readability.
🔶 Entry & Exit Optimization
By highlighting supply and demand imbalances, the script assists traders in identifying optimal entry and exit points. Wyckoff concepts such as springs and upthrusts provide clear trade signals based on market structure.
🔶 Trend Confirmation & Risk Management
Observing how price reacts to detected events helps confirm trend direction and potential reversals. Traders can place stop-loss and take-profit levels based on Wyckoff phase analysis, ensuring strategic trade execution.
🔶 Table-Based Market Analysis (Table)
A built-in table summarizes:
- Market Phase: Accumulation, Distribution, or Neutral.
- Strength of Phase: Weak, Moderate, or Strong.
- Price Positioning: Whether price is near support, resistance, or in a trading range.
- Supply/Demand State: Identifies whether the market is supply or demand dominant.
🔶 Why Choose Wyckoff Market Phases - Alpha Extract?
This indicator offers a systematic approach to understanding market mechanics through the lens of Wyckoff's time-tested principles. By providing clear and actionable insights into market phases, it empowers traders to make informed decisions, enhancing both confidence and performance in various trading environments.

ReadyFor401ks Pivot / Support / ResistOverview
The ReadyFor401ks Pivot / Support / Resist indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify key price levels—pivots, supports, and resistances—derived from a higher timeframe. This indicator recalculates levels based on a user-defined timeframe, providing you with a broader context for potential market reversals and continuations.
Key Features and Benefits
• Customizable Higher Timeframe:
You can select the frequency at which the levels are recalculated. For example, on a Daily chart, you might choose a 3-month timeframe to determine the pivot levels. This allows you to capture longer-term support and resistance zones that can be crucial for identifying major price reactions.
• Visual Clarity:
With toggles to show or hide the pivot, support, and resistance lines on the price chart, you have full control over the visual clutter on your chart. Additionally, you can choose to display the exact price values directly on the price scale, giving you an immediate reference as you trade.
• Enhanced Data Display:
In addition to price scale labels, the indicator offers an option to show the level values on the status line (data window). This feature is especially beneficial for traders who want to keep a close eye on these key levels without compromising chart space.
Practical Example
Imagine you’re analyzing a Daily chart while the indicator is set to recalculate levels on a 3-month frequency . Over a three-month period, the indicator determines a pivot point (P) along with three levels of resistance (R1, R2, R3) and support (S1, S2, S3). As price action unfolds, you may observe that:
• Price approaches the pivot level (P): This could indicate a potential reversal or a consolidation zone.
• Price bounces off a resistance level (e.g., R1): Signaling that the market is struggling to break higher.
• Price finds support at S1: Providing an opportunity to look for a bullish reversal.
By combining these insights with your own technical analysis, you can make more informed trading decisions based on significant levels that have been validated over a longer timeframe.
Conclusion
The ReadyFor401ks Pivot / Support / Resist indicator is ideal for traders who want to add an extra layer of confirmation to their trading strategies by identifying key price levels derived from higher timeframe data. Whether you’re a swing trader or a long-term investor, this tool helps you visualize crucial support and resistance areas, improving your market timing and risk management. Enjoy the enhanced clarity and flexibility this indicator offers on your TradingView charts!
Smart Trend Lines [The_lurker]"Smart Trend Lines" هو مؤشر متقدم مصمم لرسم خطوط الاتجاه الديناميكية تلقائيًا على الرسم البياني، مع القدرة على اكتشاف الكسور (Breakouts) بدقة باستخدام فلاتر تحليلية مثل ADX، RSI، والحجم. يوفر المؤشر ثلاثة أنواع من خطوط الاتجاه – رئيسية (Main)، متوسطة (Mid)، وقصيرة (Short) – لتلبية احتياجات المتداولين على مختلف الأطر الزمنية، سواء كانوا يركزون على الاتجاهات طويلة الأمد أو قصيرة الأمد.
كيف يعمل :
1- رسم خطوط الاتجاه:
يستخدم المؤشر نقاط الـ Pivot Highs و Pivot Lows لتحديد خطوط الاتجاه الصاعدة والهابطة تلقائيًا.
يتم رسم ثلاثة مستويات لخطوط الاتجاه بناءً على أطوال زمنية قابلة للتخصيص:

Short trend lines: for short-term trends (default: 9 candles).
2- Fracture detection:
A fault is detected when the price (close, high, low - according to the user's choice) crosses the line.
A label is placed at the break point with brief information about the conditions met (such as volume, ADX, RSI).
3- Validation filters:
ADX: Checks the strength of the fault (simple limit, default: 20).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Used to filter out fractures in the northern or eastern regions (customizable upper limits).
Volume: Compares the current volume to the moving average of the volume by the strength of the impact.
4- Alerts:
Provides a unified alert when any break (buy or sell) occurs for all types of lines, with the alert being triggered only when the break occurs.
Key features
Multiple trend lines for levels:
Three different lengths (main, medium, short) with the possibility of showing or hiding them independently, allowing traders.
Full translation:
Modify the length of the lines (number of candles).
Choose colors and styles (solid, dashed, dotted) for each type of line.
Select label size (small, small, normal, large, huge).
Select user type to check the breakout (close, high, low).
Smart filters:
Use ADX to confirm the strength of the error.
RSI filter abbreviated in environmental factors.

1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.
🔶 We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improving the indicator!
Intraday Anchored FanSimilar to an Anchored VWAP, this lets you click a bar on an Intraday chart to add an "Anchored Fan" which displays lines at up to 6 levels above and below the chosen Anchor Point. Useful to measure the retracement during swing moves.
You can reposition the fan by either hovering over the anchor or by clicking the name of the study to "activate" it, and then dragging. You can also change the Anchor Point in Settings.
By default the anchor uses the bar Close, but you can change this manually in settings OR you can use the fancy "Auto high/low" mode which is handy if you are mainly dropping the fan on local swing highs and lows.
The default line measures were chosen for ES (Futures) but the study should be usable with nearly anything as long as you adjust the settings to something appropriate for the ticker. If you want to use this on NQ, for example, it would be reasonable to multiple each of these settings by 3.5 or so.
NOTE: If the fan is off the left side of the chart, one way to see the Anchor handle again easily is to switch to a higher timeframe; for example if you are on the 5min maybe use the 15min or hourly to find the handle -- if it is WAY off the left side (for example if you let many days pass without advancing it) it's generally easiest to use Settings to move it back to "now".
Simple Gap IndicatorThe Simple Gap Indicator is a powerful tool designed to detect and visualize price gaps in the market, helping traders identify key levels of support and resistance.

Gap-Down Events: Highlighted in red for bearish gaps.
SuperTrend'ed Fibos - DolphinTradeBot
Overwiev
This indicator aims to assist in taking trades at relatively low price levels in the direction of the main trend and capturing profits at potential reversal points.
What is it for !
The indicator simply performs its calculations by using two multitimeframe SuperTrend indicators, Fibonacci levels, and pivot points. The reason for using MTF in both SuperTrend indicators is that the lengths of the levels are relatively limited, so it allows for a more detailed analysis on lower timeframes.
How is it work
When both the HTF SuperTrend and the main SuperTrend indicators are in the same direction,
For Uptrend:
Once the main SuperTrend line is violated it barcolor and draws the basic Fibonacci levels between the pivot high point and the SuperTrend line within the trend region . The TakeProfit level is drawn at a distance multiplied by the TakeProfit Multiplier, between the lowest and highest points of the level. When the main trend reverses or the TakeProfit level is violated, it stops drawing.
For Downtrend:
Once the main SuperTrend line is violated it barcolor and draws the basic Fibonacci levels between the pivot low point and the SuperTrend line within the trend region . The TakeProfit level is drawn at a distance multiplied by the TakeProfit Multiplier, between the lowest and highest points of the level. When the main trend reverses or the TakeProfit level is violated, it stops drawing.
How to Use:
To prevent the line thickness from being displayed on the screen, the indicator shows the direction of the HTF SuperTrend indicator by coloring the background. In the settings section, you can adjust:
TakeProfit Multiplier
Fibonacci line colors
HTF SuperTrend activation
HTF SuperTrend settings
Main SuperTrend settings
Fibonacci levels
Custom alert activation
Custom alert level
Alarm Section
By default, the indicator gives an alert when a level is formed or violated. Additionally, if you want to set an alert for a specific level, you can activate the Custom Alert option and choose your desired level.

It divides time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and is designed based on the consistent repetition of these phases across all trading timeframes (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even shorter trading sessions).
Each cycle consists of four distinct phases: the first phase (Q1) is the Accumulation phase, characterized by price consolidation; the second phase (Q2), known as Manipulation or Judas Swing, is marked by initial false movements indicating a potential shift; the third phase (Q3) is Distribution, where price volatility peaks; and the fourth phase (Q4) is Continuation/Reversal, determining whether the previous trend continues or reverses.
🔵 How to Use
The central concept of this strategy is the "True Open," which refers to the actual starting point of each time cycle. The True Open is typically defined at the beginning of the second phase (Q2) of each cycle. Prices trading above or below the True Open serve as a benchmark for predicting the market's potential direction and guiding trading decisions.
The practical application of the Quarterly Theory strategy relies on accurately identifying True Open points across various timeframes.
True Open points are defined as follows :
Yearly Cycle :
Q1: January, February, March
Q2: April, May, June (True Open: April Monthly Open)
Q3: July, August, September
Q4: October, November, December
Monthly Cycle :
Q1: First Monday of the month
Q2: Second Monday of the month (True Open: Daily Candle Open price on the second Monday)
Q3: Third Monday of the month
Q4: Fourth Monday of the month
Weekly Cycle :
Q1: Monday
Q2: Tuesday (True Open: Daily Candle Open Price on Tuesday)
Q3: Wednesday
Q4: Thursday
Daily Cycle :
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asian session)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (True Open: Start of London Session)
Q3: 06:00 - 12:00 (NY AM)
Q4: 12:00 - 18:00 (NY PM)
90 Min Asian Session :
Q1: 18:00 - 19:30
Q2: 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open at 19:30)
Q3: 21:00 - 22:30
Q4: 22:30 - 00:00
90 Min London Session :
Q1: 00:00 - 01:30
Q2: 01:30 - 03:00 (True Open at 01:30)
Q3: 03:00 - 04:30
Q4: 04:30 - 06:00
90 Min New York AM Session :
Q1: 06:00 - 07:30
Q2: 07:30 - 09:00 (True Open at 07:30)
Q3: 09:00 - 10:30
Q4: 10:30 - 12:00
90 Min New York PM Session :
Q1: 12:00 - 13:30
Q2: 13:30 - 15:00 (True Open at 13:30)
Q3: 15:00 - 16:30
Q4: 16:30 - 18:00
Micro Cycle (22.5-Minute Quarters) : Each 90-minute quarter is further divided into four 22.5-minute sub-segments (Micro Sessions).
True Opens in these sessions are defined as follows :
Asian Micro Session :
True Session Open : 19:30 - 19:52:30
London Micro Session :
T rue Session Open : 01:30 - 01:52:30
New York AM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 07:30 - 07:52:30
New York PM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 13:30 - 13:52:30
By accurately identifying these True Open points across various timeframes, traders can effectively forecast the market direction, analyze price movements in detail, and optimize their trading positions. Prices trading above or below these key levels serve as critical benchmarks for determining market direction and making informed trading decisions.
🔵 Setting
Show True Range : Enable or disable the display of the True Range on the chart, including the option to customize the color.
Extend True Range Line : Choose how to extend the True Range line on the chart, with the following options:
None: No line extension
Right: Extend the line to the right
Left: Extend the line to the left
Both: Extend the line in both directions (left and right)
Show Table : Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info : Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
The Quarterly Theory ICT, by dividing time into four distinct quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and emphasizing the concept of the True Open, provides a structured and repeatable framework for analyzing price action across multiple time frames.
The consistent repetition of phases—Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal—allows traders to effectively identify recurring price patterns and critical market turning points. Utilizing the True Open as a benchmark, traders can more accurately determine potential directional bias, optimize trade entries and exits, and manage risk effectively.
By incorporating principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time, this strategy enhances market forecasting accuracy across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and shorter trading sessions. This systematic approach helps traders gain deeper insight into market structure and confidently execute informed trading decisions.
MTF Round Level Reversal [RunRox]🧲 MTF Round Level Reversal is an indicator designed to highlight price levels on the chart where the market encountered significant resistance or support at round numbers, failing to break through large clusters of orders.
In many cases, price revisits these round-number levels to absorb the remaining liquidity, offering potential reversal or continuation trade opportunities.
✏️ EXAMPLE
Here’s an example demonstrating how this indicator works and how its logic is structured:
As shown in the screenshot above, price encountered resistance at round-number levels, clearly reacting off these areas.
Afterward, the market pulled back, presenting opportunities to enter trades targeting these previously established open levels.
This logic is based on the observation that price often seeks to revisit these open round-number levels due to the residual liquidity resting there.
While effective across various markets, this indicator performs particularly well with stocks or assets priced at higher values.
For a level to appear on the chart, price must first encounter a round-number value and clearly reverse from it, leaving a visible reaction on the chart. After this occurs, the indicator will mark this level as fully formed and display it as an active reversal area.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Timeframe – Choose any timeframe from which you’d like the indicator to source level data.
🔷 Period – Defines the number of candles required on both sides (left and right) to confirm and fully form a level.
🔷 Rounding Level – Adjusts price rounding precision when detecting levels (from 0.0001 up to 5000).
🔷 Color – Customize the color and transparency of displayed levels.
🔷 Line Style – Select the desired line style for level visualization.
🔷 Label Size – Set the font size for the level labels displayed on the chart.
🔷 Move Label to the Right – Move level labels to the right side of the screen for better visibility.
🔷 Label Offset – Specifies how many bars labels should be offset from the chart’s right edge.
🔷 Delete Filled Level – Automatically removes levels from the chart after they’ve been revisited or filled.
🔷 Calculation Bars – Determines the number of recent bars considered when calculating and identifying levels.
🔶 There are numerous ways to apply this indicator in your trading strategy. You can look for trades targeting these round-number levels or identify reversal setups forming at these high-liquidity zones. The key insight is understanding that these levels represent significant liquidity areas, which price frequently revisits and retests.
We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions to further improve and enhance this indicator!
Wick Highlighter- Description
This script is a custom Multi-Wick Zone Highlighter that detects and highlights significant candle wicks on your chart. It is designed to work across multiple timeframes and uses time‑anchored boxes to “stick” to the original wick levels, ensuring that highlighted zones remain fixed even when panning or zooming the chart.
- Key Features
Wick Detection:
The script examines each candle to determine whether its upper or lower wick exceeds a user‑defined minimum size. Only wicks that meet or exceed this threshold are considered significant and trigger the creation of a highlight zone.
Zone Creation and Removal:
When a qualifying wick is detected, the script creates a colored zone (using anchored boxes) that spans from the wick tip to the candle’s body (top for upper wicks and bottom for lower wicks). Each zone remains visible until it is “filled” by subsequent price action. The fill condition is determined by a user‑adjustable fill percentage. For example, setting the fill percentage to 100% will remove the zone once the next candle’s high (for an upper wick) or low (for a lower wick) reaches the corresponding body level.
Multiple Zones:
This indicator supports multiple simultaneous zones. Each wick that qualifies is independently tracked and will not be overwritten by a later candle unless its fill condition is met. Separate flags ensure that if a candle fills an existing zone on one side, it does not create a new zone on that same side, maintaining clarity on your chart.
Time-Anchored Positioning:
To keep zones properly anchored even when you change timeframes or pan the chart, the script uses the bar’s time value rather than the bar index. This ensures that each zone remains fixed to the specific price levels where the wick was detected.
- Usage Notes
User-Adjustable Inputs:
Minimum Wick Size (Points): Set the minimum wick length to trigger a zone.
Wick Fill Percentage (%): Set the percentage into the wick at which the zone is considered filled and will be removed.
Zone Extend Bars: Control how far to the right (in terms of bars) each zone is extended.
Ideal For:
Traders who wish to visually identify key price zones based on significant candle wicks, and who require these zones to remain fixed and clear on the chart until they are actively filled by subsequent price movement.
Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks (fadi)Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks indicator provides a new approach to understanding price action using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts related to candle blocks to analyze the market behavior and eliminate much of the noise created by the price action.
This indicator is not intended to provide trade signals, it is designed to provide the traders with to support their trading strategies and add clarity where possible.
There are currently three main elements to this indicator:
Market Structure
Order Blocks
Liquidity Voids
Market Structure
In trading, market structure is often identified by observing higher highs and higher lows. An uptrend is characterized by a series of higher highs, where each peak surpasses the previous one, and higher lows, where each trough is higher than the preceding one. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by lower highs and lower lows.
Other indicators usually determine these peaks by calculating the highest or lowest levels within a predefined number of candles. For example, identifying the highest price level within the last 15 candles and marking it as a higher high or a lower high. While this approach offers some structure to price action, it can be arbitrary and random due to price fluctuations and the lack of proper structure analysis beyond finding the highest peaks and valleys within candle ranges.
In his 2022 mentorship, episode 12, ICT introduced an alternative approach focusing on three-candle pivots called Short Term High and Low (STH/STL), which are then used to calculate the Intermediate Term High and Low (ITH/ITL), and in turn, the Long Term High and Low (LTH/LTL). ICT’s approach provides better structure than the traditional method mentioned above. However, it can be confusing and difficult to track. There are great indicators that track and label ICT’s levels, but traders still find it challenging to follow and understand.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator takes a unique approach by analyzing candle formations, using ICT concepts, to identify possible turning points that mimic a real trader’s analysis of price action as closely as possible. However, it should be expected that Market Makers may use market manipulation to induce traders to make failed trades, and no tooling can eliminate these situations.
Advanced Market Structure tracks true Peaks and Valleys as they form, confirms them, and marks the chart with corresponding labels using traditional labeling methods (HH/HL/LH/LL), as such labeling makes it easier for traders to follow and understand. The indicator also draws levels to help identify possible liquidity areas and trade targets.
The indicator uses different calculation methods for the different type of market structure length, however all calculations are based on the same ICT candle blocks concepts.
Market Structure Settings
Other than the display settings, there are four (4) settings, mainly under the Level Settings section.
Allow Nested Candles
This option is only available on the Short Market Structure due to the methods used in calculating highs and lows. When used, the indicator will attempt to detect smaller fluctuations in price by tracking smaller candle moves, if any.
Level Settings
Level Settings allows the trader to decide two main calculations:
1. A new pivot point will form when a candle’s is crossed by the following candle’s
2. For a liquidity sweep and marking a level as mitigated, a candle’s must cross that level
Order Blocks
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) defines an Order Block as the last down-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant upward price move or the last up-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant downward price move. These key price levels, marked by substantial buy or sell orders from institutional traders or "smart money," create a block or zone on the price chart. When the price revisits these levels, it often leads to a strong market reaction. Order Blocks can consist of one or multiple consecutive candles of the same color, signaling areas of significant buying or selling interest. ICT's approach to Order Blocks provides traders with a structured method to identify potential areas of support or resistance, where price movements are more likely to change direction. Although ICT has shared some criteria for identifying Order Blocks publicly, the full details are reserved for his upcoming books. This indicator leverages the publicly available information to provide traders with valuable insights into these crucial price levels.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator is designed to be highly flexible, allowing traders to define their own combination of rules for identifying Order Blocks, thus customizing it to fit their unique trading strategies.
Order Block Configuration
Can be nested
An Order Block is defined as the last down candle or candles before a strong move higher, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks. However, larger-than-usual candles resulting from news events or price action may not qualify as Order Blocks and can mute any Order Block within their range.
The "Can be nested" flag ensures that each Order Block is treated as an independent entity, even if it appears within the body of another Order Block.
Forms at swing point
Order Blocks formed at swing points typically have higher probabilities but are less frequent, assuming the same rules are applied. Additionally, Order Blocks at swing points may become Breaker and Mitigation blocks if they fail, providing more trading opportunities.
Forms a simple pivot point
A simple pivot point corresponds to ICT Short Term High and Low (STH/STL). Order Blocks using simple pivot points can occur in the middle of a move, not just at swing points. These are useful for identifying IOFED setups and supporting blocks that can bolster the price move.
Causes Market Structure Shift
Order Blocks that result in a break above or below a short swing point can help narrow down target order blocks, but they are less frequent. An Order Block causing a break above or below a pivot point does not necessarily indicate a strong Order Block. For example, an Order Block formed at a Lower Low is more likely to fail in a downtrend.
A clean close above order block
When the first candle breaks above an Order Block and closes above its high, this indicates a stronger Order Block. On the other hand, if a candle merely wicks through the Order Block without a solid close above it, it suggests a weaker Order Block. This may indicate hesitation or an impending reversal, as the wick represents a temporary and unsustained price movement.
Has displacement more than X the body
While some traders may capitalize on the initial break above an Order Block's CISD level, others prefer to focus on the return to an Order Block after displacement. Displacement is determined by the body size of the Order Block, and an Order Block cannot be tested until this level has been achieved.
Has a Fair Value Gap
When an Order Block is combined with a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it signifies a strong Order Block. The Fair Value Gap indicates a strong price movement away from the Order Block.
Has a liquidity void
A Liquidity Void occurs when two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap, creating a gap similar to a Fair Value Gap, but involving one or more middle candles. Liquidity Voids can be utilized in combination with, or as an alternative to, the displacement setting.
Maximum number of OBs
The maximum number of Order Blocks to display.
Mitigated at block’s
An Order Block is considered mitigated when price reaches one of the main Order Block levels.
Liquidity Void
Liquidity Void refers to areas on a price chart where there is one-sided trading activity. This phenomenon occurs when the price of an asset moves sharply in one direction, leaving gaps where two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap. These gaps can comprise one or more middle candles and indicates a pronounced lack of trading within that price range. Liquidity Voids are important because they highlight areas of minimal resistance, where price is more likely to return to fill the void and balance the market.
Liquidity Void vs Fair Value Gap
While both concepts are related to gaps in price action, they are distinct. A Fair Value Gap is a specific three-candle pattern where the middle candle creates a gap between the first and third candles. In contrast, a Liquidity Void represents a broader area on the chart where there is little to no trading activity, often encompassing multiple candles and indicating a more pronounced imbalance between buy and sell orders.
A FVG can be part of a Liquidity Void, a Liquidity Void can exist without necessarily including an FVG. Both concepts highlight areas of minimal resistance and potential price movement, but they differ in their formation and implications.
Advanced Market Structure and Order Blocks indicator focus on liquidity voids since a liquidity void can substitute for a FVG and it is usually less addressed by other indicators.
Multi Indicator Buy/Sell with BacktestThis backtest indicator allows you to configure up to 4 different indicators and set buy/sell levels for each one, then back test how well your strategy would have worked over a given time period.
Volume Delta & Order Block Suite [QuantAlgo]Upgrade your volume analysis and order flow trading with Volume Delta & Order Block Suite by QuantAlgo, a sophisticated technical indicator that leverages advanced volume delta calculations, along with dynamic order block detection to provide deep insights into market participant behavior. By calculating the distribution of volume between buyers and sellers and tracking pivotal volume zones, the indicator helps traders understand the underlying forces driving price movements. It is particularly valuable for those looking to identify high-probability trading opportunities based on volume imbalances and key price levels where significant activity has occurred.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Volume Delta & Order Block Suite utilizes sophisticated volume analysis techniques to estimate buying and selling pressure within each price candle. The core volume delta calculation employs a formula that estimates buy volume as: Volume × (Close - Low) ÷ (High - Low) , with sell volume calculated as the remainder of total volume. This approach assumes that when price closes near the high of a candle, most volume represents buying pressure, and when price closes near the low, most volume represents selling pressure.
For order block detection, the indicator implements a multi-step process involving volume pivot identification and price state tracking. It first detects significant volume pivot points using the ta.pivothigh function with a user-defined pivot period. It then tracks the market's order state based on whether the high exceeds the highest high or the low falls below the lowest low. When a volume pivot occurs, the indicator creates order blocks based on price levels at that pivot point. These blocks are continuously monitored for invalidation based on subsequent price action.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Volume Delta Representation on Candles
The Volume Delta visualization on candles shows the buy/sell distribution directly on price bars, creating an immediate visual representation of volume pressure.
When buyers are dominant, candles are colored with the bullish theme color (default: green/teal).
Similarly, when sellers are dominant, candles are colored with the bearish theme color (default: red).
This visualization provides immediate insights into underlying volume pressure without requiring separate indicators, helping traders quickly identify which side of the market is in control.
2. Buy/Sell Pressure Information Table
The Volume Analysis Table provides a comprehensive breakdown of volume metrics across multiple timeframes, helping traders identify shifts in market behavior.
The table is organized into four timeframe columns:
Current Volume
1 Bar Before
1 Day Before
1 Week Before
For each timeframe, the table displays:
Buy volume: The estimated buying volume based on price action
Sell volume: The estimated selling volume based on price action
Total volume: The sum of buy and sell volume
Delta: The difference between buy and sell volume (positive when buyers are dominant, negative when sellers are dominant)
Additionally, the table shows both absolute values and percentage distributions, with trend indicators (Up, Down, or Neutral) at the bottom row of each timeframe column.
This multi-timeframe approach helps traders:
→ Identify volume imbalances between buyers and sellers
→ Track changes in volume delta across different periods
→ Compare current conditions with historical patterns
→ Detect potential reversals by watching for shifts in delta direction
The delta values are particularly useful as they provide a clear indication of market dominance – positive delta (Up) when buyers are dominant, and negative delta (Down) when sellers are dominant.
3. Order Blocks and Their Confluence
Order blocks represent significant price zones where volume pivots occur, potentially indicating areas of significant market participant activity.
The indicator identifies two types of order blocks:
Bullish Order Blocks (support): Highlighted with a green/teal color, these represent potential support areas where price might bounce when revisited
Bearish Order Blocks (resistance): Highlighted with a red color, these represent potential resistance areas where price might reverse when revisited
Each order block is visualized as a colored rectangle with a dashed line showing the average price within the block. The blocks are extended to the right until they are invalidated.
Order blocks can serve as key reference points for trading decisions, for example:
Support/resistance identification
Stop loss placement (beyond the opposite edge of the block)
Potential reversal zones
Target areas for profit-taking
When price approaches an order block, traders should look for confluence with the volume delta on candles and the information in the volume analysis table. Strong setups occur when all three components align – for example, when price approaches a bearish order block with increasing sell volume shown on the candles and in the volume table.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Volume Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes the buy/sell volume ratio directly on price candles using color intensity, allowing traders to immediately identify which side (buyers or sellers) is dominant. This information helps in assessing the strength behind price movements and potential continuation or reversal signals.
→ Order Block Trading Strategies: The indicator highlights significant price zones where volume pivots occur, marking these as potential support (bullish order blocks) or resistance (bearish order blocks). Traders can use these levels to identify potential reversal points, stop placement, and profit targets.
→ Multi-timeframe Volume Comparison: Through its comprehensive volume analysis table, the indicator enables traders to compare volume patterns across current, recent, daily, and weekly timeframes. This helps in identifying shifts in market behavior and confirming the strength of ongoing trends.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust Pivot Period based on your timeframe:
→ Lower values (3-5) for more frequent order blocks
→ Higher values (7-10) for stronger, less frequent order blocks
Fine-tune Mitigation Method based on your trading style:
→ "Wick" for more conservative invalidation
→ "Close" for more lenient order block survival
Look for confluence between components:
→ Strong volume delta in the expected direction when price touches an order block
→ Corresponding patterns in the volume analysis table
→ Overall market context aligning with the expected direction
Use for multiple trading approaches:
→ Support/resistance trading at order blocks
→ Trend confirmation with volume delta
→ Reversal detection when volume delta changes direction
→ Stop loss placement using order block boundaries
Combine with:
→ Trend analysis using trend-following indicators for trade confirmation
→ Multiple timeframe analysis for strategic context
Opening Range BoxIndicator Name: Opening Range Box with Extensions
Author: YanivBull
Description:
The Opening Range Box with Extensions is a powerful tool designed to visualize the trading range established during the first 30 minutes of a market session, a critical period for setting the day's trend. This indicator plots a box representing the high and low prices formed within this opening range, with dashed extension lines projecting these levels forward throughout the session.
Its primary purpose is to identify the boundaries of the initial trend at the start of trading. When these boundaries are breached, it serves as a trigger for potential trading opportunities: a breakout above the box high signals a possible long entry, while a breakdown below the box low indicates a potential short entry. The indicator also includes historical boxes for up to 5 previous days (configurable), allowing traders to analyze past opening ranges and their extensions for context and pattern recognition.
Key Features:
Customizable session start time (hour and minute) to adapt to various markets (e.g., NYSE, DAX, etc.).
Displays the current session's opening range box in blue and historical boxes in gray.
Plots dashed extension lines from the high and low of each box, limited to 500 bars or the end of the trading day.
Adjustable number of historical days (1-20, default 5).
Usage:
Set the Session Start Hour and Session Start Minute according to your market's opening time (relative to your chart's timezone, e.g., UTC+2). Watch for price action around the box boundaries—breakouts above the high or below the low can be used as signals for initiating long or short trades, respectively. Combine with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
This indicator is ideal for day traders looking to capitalize on early session momentum and breakout strategies.
No wick candlesОпис коду:
Цей скрипт для Pine Script v6 аналізує свічки на графіку і визначає свічки, що не мають фітіля знизу або згори. Він позначає їх відповідними маркерами та змінює колір свічок на помаранчевий для покращення видимості. Цей індикатор допомагає трейдерам ідентифікувати важливі зони на графіку, де свічки мають специфічні риси (без фітіля), і використовується для виявлення потенційних точок для подальших торгівельних рішень.
Що робить цей індикатор:
Зелені свічки без фітіля знизу: Це свічки, у яких ціна відкриття дорівнює мінімуму свічки. Вони позначаються зеленими стрілками під свічкою.
Червоні свічки без фітіля згори: Це свічки, у яких ціна відкриття дорівнює максимуму свічки. Вони позначаються червоними стрілками над свічкою.
Зміна кольору свічок: Свічки, що відповідають умовам (без фітіля знизу або згори), змінюють свій колір на помаранчевий для підвищення видимості та чіткого виділення важливих зон.
Як використовувати:
Цей індикатор допомагає вам ідентифікувати зони, де ціна не має фітіля знизу (для зелених свічок) або згори (для червоних свічок). Ці свічки можуть бути важливими для трейдерів, оскільки вони часто сигналізують про сильні рівні підтримки або опору, де ймовірно відбудеться ретест.
Важливо:
Чекати ретест зони: Після появи таких свічок (особливо у зонах підтримки або опору) можна очікувати, що ці рівні будуть перевірені ще раз. Якщо ціни повертаються до цих зон, це може бути сигналом для входу в ринок.
Торгівля на ретестах: Якщо ціна після першого відскоку знову наближається до цієї зони (де була свічка без фітіля), можна очікувати відскок або продовження тренду, що створює можливість для вхідної позиції.
_______________________________
Description:
This Pine Script v6 indicator analyzes the candles on the chart and identifies those that have no lower or upper wicks. It marks these candles with appropriate markers and changes the candle colors to orange for better visibility. This indicator helps traders identify important zones on the chart where candles exhibit specific characteristics (no wicks), which can be used to spot potential trading opportunities.
What this indicator does:
Green candles with no lower wick: These are candles where the opening price equals the low of the candle. They are marked with a green arrow below the candle.
Red candles with no upper wick: These are candles where the opening price equals the high of the candle. They are marked with a red arrow above the candle.
Candle color change: Candles that meet the conditions (no lower or upper wick) change their color to orange for better visibility and to clearly highlight important zones.
How to use:
This indicator helps you identify zones where prices have no lower wick (for green candles) or no upper wick (for red candles). These candles may be important for traders, as they often indicate strong support or resistance levels where a retest is likely to occur.
Important:
Wait for a zone retest: After these candles appear (especially at support or resistance zones), you can expect these levels to be tested again. If the price returns to these zones, it could signal an opportunity to enter the market.
Trading on retests: If the price approaches the zone (where a wickless candle occurred) again, it may indicate a bounce or trend continuation, which provides a potential entry point.
