Chapter 1: Understanding Market Structure

1.1 Market Structure Defined:
- Market structure forms the bedrock upon which successful trading strategies are constructed. It encompasses the highs, lows, and significant price levels that shape a market's behavior. Structure Mapping v3.0 provides a clear visualization of market structure, enabling traders to identify crucial support and resistance levels.

1.2 The Power of Structural Analysis:
- Structural analysis is a pivotal component of this indicator. By recognizing the fundamental elements of market structure, traders can make informed decisions regarding trend direction, potential reversals, and optimal entry and exit points.

1.3 Rules for Structure Mapping:
Let's explore some key definitions:
- Inside bars: These are candles that exist within the range of a preceding candle.

- Pullbacks: In an uptrend, a valid pullback occurs when the low of a previous candle's range (excluding inside bars) is breached, and the price continues to rise.

- Inducements (IDM): An inducement is a price level. In an uptrend, it is defined as the low of the latest pullback before the highest high. It is considered a liquidity area, often revisited by the market to access liquidity before continuing its upward movement.

- Break of Structure (BoS): In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM, the highest high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High. If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.

Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character.
Example of a bullish ChoCh:

Chapter 2: Demand & Supply Zones

2.1 Introduction to Demand & Supply Zones:
- Demand and Supply zones are critical areas on a price chart where significant buying or selling pressure is expected. This indicator highlights these zones, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.

2.2 Identifying Demand and Supply Zones:
A Demand or Supply zone is the first candle of a pullback that leaves a Fair value gap.
