Market Maker Position Bars (Position Size)

**Market Maker Position Bars (Position Size) – Indicator Description for TradingView**

This indicator is a clean, professional visualization tool designed for traders who track suspected **market maker / institutional positioning** (especially popular in ICT/SMC communities) on indices like the SPX, NDX, ES, etc.

It draws up to **20 horizontal position bars** directly on the chart, anchored to the very last bar, representing hypothetical long and short positions at specific price levels with corresponding position sizes.

### Key Features & Visual Logic

- **Green bars (Boxes 1–10)** → Extend to the **right** of the last bar
Represent **long positions** (bullish interest)
Default translucent green fill

- **Red bars (Boxes 11–20)** → Extend to the **left** of the last bar
Represent **short positions** (bearish interest)
Default translucent red fill

- **Bar width = Position size**
The length of each box is automatically scaled based on the absolute value you enter in “Position Size”.
Larger position → wider (longer) bar

- Each box displays **Price / Position Size** text inside (e.g., `5720.50 / 1250`)

### Fully Customizable Settings

**Global Geometry**
- Total Box Height (default 10.0) – controls vertical thickness of all boxes

**Position Size Scaling**
- Base Box Width (bars)
- Width per Position Unit – fine-tune how aggressively width grows with size
- Minimum & Maximum Bar Width – prevents boxes from becoming too tiny or excessively long

**Global Text Settings**
- Text color, size (Tiny → Huge), and bold option

**Individual Box Controls (20 independent boxes)**
- Show/Hide toggle
- SPX Price (or any symbol price level)
- Position Size (any positive/negative number; absolute value determines width)
- Fill color (override default green/red if desired)

### How It Works Internally

- All boxes are drawn only on the **last confirmed bar** (`barstate.islast`)
- Width calculation:
`Width = BaseWidth + (|Position Size| × Width per Unit)`
Clamped between Min and Max Bar Width
- Green boxes start at the current bar and extend forward (right)
- Red boxes end at the current bar and extend backward (left)
- Uses Pine Script v6 `box.new()` with `xloc.bar_index` for perfect alignment and performance

### Ideal Use Cases

- Visualizing daily/weekly **order block** or **fair value gap** interest levels with estimated size
- Mapping **dealer positioning**, gamma exposure levels, or large options interest
- Quickly seeing where the “smart money” is theoretically stacked on both sides of the market
- Clean chart markup for screenshots, mentoring, or live trading journals

A minimalist yet powerful tool favored by ICT, SMC, and footprint-style traders who want to see **where the big players might be positioned** — all in one glance without cluttering the chart with hundreds of objects.

Clean. Visual. Size-aware. Perfect for high-level market profiling.
