Enhanced OB [promuckaj]THE ENHANCED ORDER BLOCK
Someone could think what is EOB, it should be just ordinary order block but that’s far from the truth. Sometime the classic order blocks work like a charm, then more often it doesn’t work.
If we expecting lower prices to kick in bearish and we see them create a bullish candle leaving a decent sized wick on the bottom, we want to wait for the next candle to completely close below the bullish candle.
When we see this, it should be our signal to sell the market. When price does this, it is a clear indication that price want to continue lower.
Once EOB is confirmed, look to enter short during the next candles PO3. Usually it’s going to go up but all you need is to wait that very next bar to confirm-respect our new formed EOB.
There is many ways to play this and anticipate some of the liquidity below as your safe TP target. Just imagine to use EOB from HTF on LTF. If you can then this indicator is for you, because it is exactly what is doing, it plots EOB from HTF, with lines that clearly present the last two HTF bars (bars that form the EOB), together with EOB zone of interest – from where we want to see price to pullback and respect the narrative – in this example that we are going down.
So let’s take a look how the same example (30min TF) will be on lower timeframe, for example on 1min.
... or maybe on 30 seconds timeframe.
So let’s try to play this example, with any kind of entry model. For example here we have practically the same scenario, green bar with red closed below, after price tap into EOB zone from HTF.
In this example we can anticipate entry at the pullback in LTF EOB zone, or simply from the FVG formed in the EOB confirmation bar, that is the proof that this zone will hold and push us further lower.
For target as our TP we could use simple internal structure and nearest liquidity left behind.
Easy and quick 4.6R trade.
Or if we would like to go further, this could be even better RR.
Practically almost 10R.
Let’s switch back now to 30min TF, to see how this actually look on respective timeframe of our EOB.
I hope it is more then clear, how this could be used.
There is option to change colors, lines and size of labels, including option to mark the FVG that is a part of EOB, if there is.
Also alerts is there, so you will not miss any new EOB that form on your HTF.
Enjoy !
Candlestick analysis
alplerThe 4H Engulf Indicator is a rule-based price action tool designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities on the 4-hour timeframe. Its core logic is built around bullish and bearish engulfing candles, which are widely accepted as strong reversal or continuation signals in technical analysis.
This indicator focuses only on confirmed engulfing patterns, meaning the signal is generated after the candle is fully closed, not while it is forming. This helps eliminate false signals and emotional, premature entries. When a bullish engulfing candle appears, the indicator marks a bullish signal, suggesting potential upward momentum. Conversely, when a bearish engulfing candle forms, a bearish signal is displayed, indicating possible downward pressure.
One of the key strengths of the 4H Engulf Indicator is its clarity and simplicity. Signals are shown directly on the chart using visually clear arrows and labels, allowing the trader to quickly assess market direction without clutter. The indicator does not predict the market; instead, it reacts to confirmed price behavior, which aligns well with disciplined and systematic trading.
The 4-hour timeframe provides a balance between noise reduction and timely opportunities, making this indicator suitable for swing traders and position traders. When combined with trend filters, risk management rules, or higher-timeframe analysis, the 4H Engulf Indicator becomes a powerful component of a professional trading system.

TuxAlgo Plus a SMC and Trap Toolkit V0.98r1 by McTogaThe “TuxAlgo Plus” script is a powerful, standalone, conceptual open-source project and self-sufficient “smart money toolkit” with automatic trap detection (SMT), liquidity grabs, FVG confluence, and complete bot setup signals for TV charts in the “H1 to H6” time frame and daily charts.
The script is used to improve SMC/trap analyses, i.e., the structure and visualization logic for TradingView charts have been expanded in the “TuxAlgo++” project in line with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Smart Money Traps (SMT).
The SMT block (“Smart Money Traps”) supplements classic smart money concepts with:
1. Detection of bull traps (short setups) and bear traps (long setups)
2. Display of trap boxes in the chart (liquidity grab areas)
3. A bot setup box (table) with ready-made entry/SL/TP levels:
as well as age in bars & days and “Valid until ~X d” (remaining term)
SMT / bot setup only run on the following timeframes:
- H1, H2, H3, H4, H6 This means that traps, labels, and the bot setup box are only displayed on these timeframes
Trap definition “Bull Trap (Short Setup)”:
- Valid swing high
- Swing trend bullish
- High (Wick) pierces above the swing high (Liquidity Grab)
- Close falls back below the swing high (false breakout)
-> Result: Short setup (bull trap), marked in orange
Trap definition “Bear Trap (long setup)”:
- Valid swing low
- Swing trend bearish
- Low (wick) pierces below the swing low (liquidity grab)
- Close rises above the swing low again (false breakout)
-> Result: Long setup (bear trap), marked in blue
Entry / SL / TP calculation
A price range is taken for each trap:
Bull trap (short):
- Range =
- Entry = point within this range:
Entry = hiBT - (hiBT - loBT) * TrapEntryRatio (0..1)
-> 0.0 = at the Wick extreme, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = at the Swing level
- SL = Wick extreme (upper edge of the trap)
- Risk = |Entry - SL|
- TP1 = Entry - R1 * Risk
- TP2 = Entry - R2 * Risk
Bear Trap (Long):
- Range =
- Entry analogous within the range according to TrapEntryRatio
- SL = wick bottom (lower edge of the trap)
- Risk = |Entry - SL|
- TP1 = Entry + R1 * Risk
- TP2 = Entry + R2 * Risk
R1 / R2 correspond to the inputs:
- botRR1Input = TP1 Risk/Reward (e.g., 1.5R)
- botRR2Input = TP2 Risk/Reward (e.g., 3.0R)
Age & Validity
Each trap stores:
- lastTrapBarIndex -> last bar of the trap
- Age in bars -> bar_index - lastTrapBarIndex
- Age in days (~d) -> AgeBars * BarDurationInDays (depending on TF)
Input: trapMaxAgeBars determines how long a trap is valid.
The bot setup box is only displayed if:
- a trap is present,
- AgeBars <= trapMaxAgeBars,
- SMT + Box + SMC timeframe are active.
Color logic (color blind friendly):
- Blue (accentBlue) = fresh traps (Age <= 1/3 MaxAge)
- Orange (accentOrange) = medium age
- Violet (accentPurple) = old, but still within MaxAge
- Gray (accentGray) = expired (> MaxAge)
The box also shows “Valid until ~X d” as the remaining term.
Day/Night Mode & Colors
- chart.bg_color is used to detect dark or light mode.
- Text/background colors adjust (light/dark).
- Accent colors (blue/orange/purple/gray) are suitable for red/green color blindness.
- Trap labels in the chart:
- Bull trap label = orange (short setup)
- Bear trap label = blue (long setup)
- Text color depends on chart mode (dark/light)
Typical workflow (example):
1. Select a suitable symbol & SMC timeframe (e.g., H4 or H6).
2. Wait for a bull trap (short) or bear trap (long).
3. Read in the bot setup box:
- Direction (long/short)
- Entry, SL, TP1, TP2
- Age & “Valid until ~X d”
4. These values can be used as a template for manual trading or external bot/order systems.
5. Position size & leverage must always be calculated separately in your own risk management
(e.g., 2% rule). This script does not calculate position sizes.

## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

- **Price**: The actual price level
- **Points**: Distance from current price (+ for highs, - for lows)
- **Age**: Number of full sessions since creation
- **%**: Percentage distance from current price
- **⚠️**: Proximity alert - price is within threshold distance
- **Status Row**: Shows timeframe, direction (🟢 bullish/🔴 bearish), tunnel width (Δ), and Strat pattern
### 📈 Visual Elements on Chart
**1. Level Lines**
- Horizontal lines showing each unmitigated level
- **Color-coded by age**: Bright colors = new, darker = older, deep purple/teal = ancient
- **Line style**: Customizable (solid, dashed, dotted)

**2. Price Labels**
- Show the exact price and age: "21,450.25 (8d)"
- Fixed at small size for clean readability
- Positioned with configurable offset from current bar
**3. Bands (Optional)**
- Shaded zones between pairs of unmitigated levels
- Default: Between 1st and 2nd levels (the "tunnel")
- Can switch to 1st-3rd, 2nd-3rd, or disable entirely
- **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs
- **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows
- These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.
---
## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops
---
## Settings & Customization
### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings
**HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes)
- The timeframe for high/low calculation
- **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping
- **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading
- **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading
**Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2)
- How many sessions before a level is considered "old"
- Lower = more levels classified as old
- Higher = stricter definition of significance

---
## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

*"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You*
In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.
ICT Unicorn Model [Kodexius]ICT Unicorn Model is a market structure and imbalance confluence tool that automatically detects high probability “Unicorn” setups by combining three key elements into a single, clean script:
-A first, clean break of that swing level (displacement style break)
-A Fair Value Gap that overlaps a breaker candle body range
Instead of plotting every pivot or every imbalance independently, the script waits for a specific sequence: price establishes a valid swing, breaks that swing for the first time, and prints a setup only when the resulting context aligns with a valid, volatility filtered FVG and a clearly defined breaker range.
Each detected setup is drawn directly on the chart with labeled zones (Breaker and FVG) and is then actively monitored. If price violates the breaker boundary based on your chosen invalidation basis (Close or Wick), the setup is marked inactive and can optionally be removed to keep the chart clean.
This indicator is designed for traders who work with ICT style concepts such as liquidity runs, displacement, breaker blocks, and imbalance reversion, and who want a structured, rules based visualization rather than discretionary drawing.
🔹 Features
🔸 Fair Value Gap Detection With Volatility Filtering
Bullish and bearish FVGs are detected using classic three candle imbalance logic. To avoid low quality gaps during compression, the script applies an ATR based minimum size filter using the “FVG Min Size (ATR Multiplier)” input. Only gaps larger than ATR * threshold are considered valid.
🔸 First Break Validation (Clean Break Logic)
A key part of the model is identifying a “first break” of a swing level. The script checks whether the swing price has already been invalidated between the swing bar and the current bar. If it has, the swing is ignored. This helps reduce repeated signals and focuses on fresh structural breaks.
🔸 Breaker and FVG Confluence With Overlap Requirement
After a valid break occurs, the script defines a breaker range using the body of the swing candle (open and close). A setup is only created if this breaker body range overlaps the detected FVG price range. This overlap requirement is what filters many “almost” conditions and keeps signals more selective.
Bullish Unicorn:
Bearish Unicorn:
🔸 Configurable Invalidation Basis (Close or Wick)
You can choose how a setup fails:
-Close: invalidation requires a candle close beyond the breaker boundary
-Wick: invalidation occurs as soon as any wick crosses beyond the breaker boundary
This allows the tool to adapt to different trading styles, from conservative confirmation to more sensitive risk control.
🔸 Automatic Cleanup of Failed Setups
If “Delete Invalidated Setups” is enabled, the script removes the breaker box, FVG box, and label as soon as the setup is invalidated. If disabled, the zones remain visible for review while the setup is marked inactive internally.
🔸 Clear Chart Visuals
Each setup plots:
-A labeled Breaker zone box
-A labeled FVG zone box
-A directional Unicorn label (Bull or Bear) that updates position as the chart advances
Colors for bullish and bearish structures are fully configurable.
🔸 Alert Conditions
Two alert conditions are provided:
-Bullish Unicorn Setup Detected
-Bearish Unicorn Setup Detected
Alerts trigger only on the bar a new setup is created.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the main computations used internally. The goal here is to explain the model mechanics rather than reproduce every implementation detail.
1. Swing Detection (Pivot High / Pivot Low)
Swing levels are detected using a symmetric pivot definition with “Swing Length” bars on both sides:
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
When a pivot is confirmed, its price and originating bar index are stored:
-Swing High: price = pivot high, isHigh = true
-Swing Low: price = pivot low, isHigh = false
The script keeps a limited history (most recent swings) to stay efficient.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
FVGs use the classic three candle displacement imbalance:
Bullish FVG condition
bool isBullFVG = high < low
Bullish gap range is defined as:
-Top = low
-Bottom = high
Bearish FVG condition
bool isBearFVG = low > high
Bearish gap range is defined as:
-Top = low
-Bottom = high
3. ATR Based Minimum Gap Filter
ATR is computed (length 14), then the gap size is compared against a user threshold:
float atr = ta.atr(14)
bool validBullFVG = isBullFVG and (bullFvgTop - bullFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold)
bool validBearFVG = isBearFVG and (bearFvgTop - bearFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold)
This prevents very small imbalances from generating setups in low volatility conditions.
4. “First Break” Check Using Level Invalidation Scan
Before accepting a swing break, the script scans forward from the swing bar to the current bar to confirm the level has not already been breached. The scan can be based on wick or close:
-Wick mode: uses high or low
-Close mode: uses close
Conceptually:
priceToCheck = mode == "Wick" ? (checkBelow ? low : high) : close
If a prior breach is found, the swing is treated as already invalidated and is ignored for setup creation.
5. Break Of Structure Condition
Bullish break requirement
A bullish setup requires breaking a stored swing high with bullish body intent:
-close > swingHighPrice
-open < close
Bearish break requirement
A bearish setup requires breaking a stored swing low with bearish body intent:
-close < swingLowPrice
-open > close
An additional proximity filter is applied in the bearish branch to reduce weak or overly extended breaks by requiring the prior close to be reasonably near the swing level.
6. Breaker Range Construction
Once a qualifying swing is found, the breaker range is derived from the body of the swing candle (the candle at the swing bar index). The body boundaries are:
float breakerTop = math.max(bOpen, bClose)
float breakerBot = math.min(bOpen, bClose)
This models the breaker as the candle body range rather than full wick range, which typically produces more practical invalidation boundaries.
7. Overlap Test Between Breaker and FVG
A setup is only created if the breaker body overlaps the FVG zone. Conceptually the script rejects cases where one range is fully above or fully below the other:
-If there is no overlap, no setup is created
-If overlap exists, the Unicorn setup is valid
8. Active Monitoring and Invalidation
Each setup remains active until invalidated. Invalidation is evaluated every bar using your selected basis:
-Close basis: compares close to breaker boundary
-Wick basis: compares high or low to breaker boundary
Bullish invalidation
Setup fails if price crosses below breaker bottom.
Bearish invalidation
Setup fails if price crosses above breaker top.
If deletion is enabled, all drawings related to that setup are removed immediately on invalidation.
9. Drawing Updates and Object Lifecycle
Breaker and FVG boxes are extended to the right while the setup is active to keep zones visible into the near future. The Unicorn label is also repositioned as new bars print so the most recent context stays readable.
SignalViper ReconRecon — Multi-Factor Market State Summary
Recon is a market state synthesis and interpretation tool designed to summarize multiple analytical dimensions into a single, readable overview. Instead of presenting raw indicator values, Recon translates trend, momentum, volume, and structure conditions into descriptive market states.
The goal of Recon is to reduce cognitive load by helping traders quickly understand what type of market they are currently in, not to provide trade signals.
Core Concepts & Logic
Recon evaluates several analytical dimensions commonly used across the SignalViper suite, including:
Trend Structure
Momentum Quality
Volume Participation
Proximity to Key Structural Levels
Each dimension is assessed independently and then combined into a contextual summary that reflects overall market conditions.
Recon does not require other indicators to be loaded on the chart. It performs its own internal evaluation using the same conceptual frameworks.
Narrative Interpretation Layer
Rather than displaying raw numbers or oscillators, Recon converts evaluated conditions into plain-language descriptions, such as:
“Directional momentum strengthening”
“Trend continuation with participation support”
“Structural resistance nearby with weakening momentum”
These descriptions are intended to convey context and risk awareness, not predictions or recommendations.
Indicator Families Used
Recon belongs to the multi-factor regime analysis and interpretation category. It incorporates elements of trend analysis, momentum evaluation, volume-aware context, and structure awareness. Familiar analytical concepts may be present, but Recon’s value lies in how these factors are synthesized and Fletcherized into readable states.
Visual Outputs Explained
Summary Table
Displays the current evaluation of each analytical dimension in one consolidated view.
Color-Coded Status Indicators
Colors are used to reflect alignment, neutrality, or conflict across factors for rapid visual scanning.
Active Warnings
Highlight conditions such as divergence, participation weakening, or structural conflict when detected.

How to Use Recon
Recon is designed to be used as a pre-decision context tool. Traders commonly use it to:
Confirm whether market conditions align with their strategy
Identify conflicting signals before entering a trade
Avoid overconfidence during unstable or transitional regimes
It is especially useful when used alongside execution-focused tools, but it can also be used independently as a high-level market overview.
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
Recon’s value comes from how multiple analytical dimensions are evaluated, weighted, and translated into narrative summaries. This interpretation layer significantly reduces the need to mentally reconcile multiple indicators and helps traders maintain consistency during live decision-making.
SignalViper VenomVenom — Volume Pressure & Participation Analysis
Venom is a volume-pressure and participation analysis tool designed to evaluate whether buying or selling pressure is dominating recent price movement. Instead of forecasting direction, Venom focuses on measuring imbalance, agreement, and conflict between price movement and volume behavior.
The script presents this information as an oscillator, helping traders visualize who is exerting pressure and how stable that pressure is over time.
Core Concepts & Logic
Venom evaluates volume activity in relation to price movement to determine relative pressure, not absolute volume levels. Its analysis focuses on:
Buying vs Selling Pressure
Measures whether volume participation favors upward or downward movement.
Pressure Stability
Identifies whether participation is sustained or weakening.
Participation Conflict
Highlights conditions where buying and selling forces are closely balanced.
Based on these factors, Venom classifies pressure into distinct control states.
Indicator Families Used
Venom belongs to the volume-aware momentum and participation family of indicators. It uses volume-weighted evaluation rather than raw volume bars, allowing pressure conditions to be compared consistently across symbols and timeframes.
Visual Outputs Explained
Pressure Oscillator
Displays relative buying or selling pressure:
Cyan tones indicate buying pressure dominance
Magenta tones indicate selling pressure dominance
Control States
BUYERS: volume pressure supports upward movement
SELLERS: volume pressure supports downward movement
CONTESTED: participation is balanced or conflicted
Pressure Signal Line
Acts as a smoothing and confirmation reference to help assess pressure shifts.
Divergence Markers

Assess whether price movement is supported by participation
Avoid entries when pressure is conflicted or weakening
Monitor potential exhaustion during extended moves
It pairs naturally with trend, momentum, or structure-based tools to add a participation layer.
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
Venom’s value comes from how volume information is interpreted, normalized, and abstracted into readable pressure states and divergence conditions. This allows traders to assess participation without relying on multiple raw volume indicators or manual interpretation.
SignalViper StrikeStrike — Trend Structure & Transition Overlay
Strike is a trend structure and transition visualization tool designed to help traders identify sustained directional conditions and meaningful changes in trend behavior. Rather than predicting price movement, Strike focuses on displaying trend direction, momentum agreement, and volatility context directly on the chart.
The script is intended to support discretionary trend-following decisions by clarifying when directional structure is present and when conditions begin to shift.
Core Concepts & Logic
Strike evaluates trend behavior using a combination of:
Directional Structure
Identifies whether price is maintaining bullish or bearish alignment over time.
Momentum Confirmation
Highlights moments where directional movement is supported by sufficient momentum rather than short-term fluctuation.
Volatility Context
Provides awareness of expansion and contraction phases that influence trend reliability.
These elements are evaluated together to distinguish stable trends, transitions, and neutral conditions.
Indicator Families Used

Identify periods of sustained directional structure
Wait for momentum alignment before acting
Avoid trading during unstable or low-volatility phases
It can be used independently or in combination with other tools for confirmation and execution.
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
Strike’s value comes from how trend, momentum, and volatility information are combined and visualized cohesively in a single overlay. This reduces chart clutter and helps traders interpret trend behavior more consistently than using multiple standalone indicators.
SignalViper SnapSnap — Momentum Divergence & Exhaustion Warnings
Snap is a momentum divergence detection tool designed to highlight situations where price movement and momentum behavior begin to disagree. These conditions often occur during trend fatigue, overextension, or early transition phases, and can serve as a warning that directional pressure may be weakening.
Rather than predicting reversals, Snap focuses on identifying loss of momentum confirmation relative to price.
Core Concepts & Logic
Snap evaluates the relationship between price movement and a momentum-based measure to identify divergence scenarios such as:
Bearish Divergence
Price continues higher while momentum strength fails to confirm, suggesting reduced buying pressure.
Bullish Divergence
Price continues lower while momentum weakness diminishes, indicating potential selling exhaustion.
These conditions highlight risk asymmetry changes, not guaranteed outcomes.
Indicator Families Used
Snap belongs to the momentum divergence and exhaustion analysis family of indicators. It uses normalized momentum behavior rather than raw price comparison, allowing divergence conditions to be evaluated consistently across symbols and timeframes.
Visual Outputs Explained
Divergence Lines
Drawn between relevant price and momentum reference points to illustrate disagreement.
Labels
Identify bullish or bearish divergence conditions at the time they occur.
All visual elements correspond to active divergence conditions based on recent price and momentum behavior.
Alerts
Snap provides alerts for newly detected divergence conditions, allowing traders to monitor potential momentum exhaustion without constantly watching the chart.
Alerts are informational and intended to highlight context changes, not to signal entries or exits.
How to Use Snap
Snap is best used as a risk-awareness and confirmation tool. Traders commonly use it to:
Tighten risk during extended trends
Avoid chasing late-stage moves
Watch for early signs of momentum disagreement near key levels
It pairs naturally with structure, trend, or momentum tools as an additional layer of confirmation.
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
While divergence is a known concept, Snap automates the detection, qualification, and visualization of meaningful divergence conditions, reducing subjectivity and chart clutter. This allows traders to consistently monitor momentum agreement without manual comparison.
SignalViper RushRush — Momentum Strength & Regime Visualization
Rush is a momentum strength and market regime visualization tool designed to show how directional pressure evolves over time. Instead of producing discrete entry signals, Rush focuses on displaying momentum quality, persistence, and transition in a clear visual format.
The script emphasizes how strong and stable momentum is, and whether current conditions favor continuation or consolidation.
Core Concepts & Logic
Rush evaluates momentum as a spectrum, not a binary condition. It measures directional pressure relative to recent price behavior and classifies it into graduated intensity levels.
Key concepts include:
Momentum Strength
Indicates how strongly price is pushing in a given direction relative to recent movement.
Momentum Stability
Helps distinguish sustained movement from short-lived bursts.
Regime Awareness
Identifies when momentum is likely to be unreliable due to sideways or compressed conditions.
Indicator Families Used
Rush belongs to the momentum and regime-detection family of indicators. It uses smoothed, normalized momentum measurements rather than single-bar oscillators. These measurements are evaluated over time to reduce noise and highlight meaningful transitions.
Visual Outputs Explained

Fractal Reversal StageFractal Reversal Stage — это продвинутый осцилляторный индикатор разворота, который объединяет классический анализ RSI на старших таймфреймах с уникальным паттерном "фрактального поглощения" на рабочих графиках.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Filter: Индикатор отслеживает состояние перекупленности/перепроданности на старшем ТФ (например, 15м), определяя глобальную зону интереса.
Trend Inertia: Алгоритм проверяет наличие устойчивой инерции тренда (Heikin-Ashi) перед поиском точки входа.
Как работает сигнал: Индикатор одновременно анализирует стандартные японские свечи и сглаженные свечи Heikin-Ashi. Сигнал появляется в момент слома текущего тренда, когда подтверждается резкий импульс в обратную сторону. Это позволяет зайти в сделку в самой ранней точке нового движения.
Noise Filter: Встроенный фильтр размера тела свечи исключает ложные сигналы на низковолатильном рынке.
Как использовать:
Зеленая зона / BUY: Ищите сигнал, когда фон окрашен в зеленый цвет
Красная зона / SELL: Ищите сигнал, когда фон окрашен в красный цвет
Линия тренда: Визуализирует уровни стопа или поддержки/сопротивления после подтверждения разворота. Рекомендуется использовать усреднение на коррекциях против тренда с индикациями (зоны перекупленности/перепроданности выглядят как вертикальные линии). Выход осуществляется по зонам противоположному цвету тренда - Покупка - красная зона, Продажа зеленая. Либо цвет зоны+противоположный сигнал.
Fractal Reversal Stage is a professional reversal tool designed to catch trend exhaustion points using MTF RSI filtering and a unique fractal engulfing pattern.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Filter: The indicator monitors Overbought/Oversold conditions on a higher timeframe (e.g., 15m) to identify the global "Zone of Interest."
Trend Inertia: The algorithm verifies the presence of sustained trend momentum (using Heikin-Ashi) before searching for an entry.
Signal Mechanics: The indicator performs a dual analysis of standard Japanese candlesticks and smoothed Heikin-Ashi candles. A signal is triggered at the moment of a trend break, confirmed by a sharp counter-trend impulse. This allows you to enter the trade at the earliest possible stage of a new move.
Noise Filter: A built-in candle body size filter eliminates false signals during low-volatility market conditions.
How to Use:
Green Zone / BUY: Look for a signal when the background is highlighted in green.
Red Zone / SELL: Look for a signal when the background is highlighted in red.
Trend Line: Visualizes stop-loss levels or support/resistance after the reversal is confirmed.
Strategy: It is recommended to use averaging (DCA) during corrections against the signal using the Overbought/Oversold indications (marked as vertical lines).
Exit Rules: 1. For a Buy position — exit in the Red Zone. 2. For a Sell position — exit in the Green Zone. 3. Alternatively, exit when a Zone Color change is confirmed by an opposite signal.
SignalViper PulsePulse — Market Bias & Signal Quality Analyzer
Pulse is a market bias and signal-quality analysis tool designed to evaluate directional conditions using multiple layers of contextual information. Rather than generating standalone trade entries, Pulse focuses on assessing how favorable current conditions are for directional continuation or mean reversion.
The script continuously evaluates price behavior across timeframes to provide a structured view of trend alignment, momentum participation, and contextual confirmation.
Core Concepts & Logic
Pulse operates by aggregating several analytical dimensions into a unified assessment of market bias:
Directional Alignment
Evaluates whether higher and lower timeframes are aligned, conflicted, or neutral.
Momentum & Participation
Assesses whether price movement is supported by sufficient participation rather than isolated price spikes.
Contextual Weighting
Incorporates volume-aware and structure-sensitive inputs to distinguish meaningful movement from noise.
These components are combined into a normalized bias and quality framework, allowing traders to assess confidence rather than react to binary signals.
Indicator Families Used
Pulse belongs to the multi-factor bias and regime analysis category. It incorporates elements of trend analysis, momentum evaluation, and volume-aware context. Familiar concepts may be present, but they are evaluated together, not used independently, to reduce conflicting signals.
Outputs Explained
Pulse displays a consolidated view of market conditions through:
Bias Scoring that reflects directional favorability
Signal Quality Ratings that indicate alignment and confidence
Visual states highlighting periods of agreement, transition, or uncertainty
These outputs are designed to simplify interpretation without oversimplifying the underlying market state.
How to Use Pulse
Pulse is intended as a decision-support layer. Traders commonly use it to:
Confirm whether directional setups are supported by broader context
Avoid trades during conflicting or weak participation conditions
Adjust expectations during transitional or neutral regimes
It pairs naturally with entry-based or execution-focused tools by answering the question: “Is the market aligned enough to justify this trade?”
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
Pulse’s value comes from how multiple analytical inputs are weighted, normalized, and synthesized into a readable framework. This reduces the need for separate indicators and helps traders evaluate market conditions consistently across symbols and timeframes.
SignalViper FangsFangs — Structural Support & Resistance Zones
Fangs is a price structure analysis tool designed to identify areas where price has historically reacted and is likely to encounter interest again. Instead of drawing discretionary levels, Fangs automatically evaluates price behavior to highlight structural support and resistance zones directly on the chart.
The script focuses on reaction-based structure, not predictive signals, helping traders contextualize price movement around meaningful levels.
Core Concepts & Logic
Fangs analyzes how price interacts with prior swing regions to identify zones where buying or selling pressure has previously emerged. These zones represent areas of market agreement, not single price points, and are displayed as horizontal regions rather than lines.
Key principles include:
Emphasis on reaction zones rather than exact highs or lows
Filtering of minor or insignificant levels to reduce clutter
Ongoing evaluation of whether a level remains structurally valid
Indicator Families Used
Fangs belongs to the support and resistance / market structure family of indicators. It uses price-based structural analysis rather than oscillators or momentum signals. While it relies on common concepts such as swing behavior and level interaction, its value comes from automated level qualification and lifecycle management.
Dynamic Level Management
Identified zones are not static:
Levels are removed automatically once price decisively breaks through them
Zones can flip roles from support to resistance (or vice versa) as price structure evolves
Sensitivity settings allow control over the number of active zones and minimum spacing between levels
This prevents outdated or irrelevant levels from persisting on the chart.
Visual Outputs Explained
Cyan zones represent structural support areas
Magenta zones represent structural resistance areas
All zones correspond to currently valid structural levels based on recent price behavior.
How to Use Fangs
Fangs is intended as a contextual tool, not a trade signal. Traders commonly use it to:
Anticipate areas where price may slow, reject, or consolidate
Frame entries, exits, or risk management decisions
Combine with momentum or trend tools for confirmation
It can be used on any timeframe and market, with sensitivity controls allowing adaptation to different trading styles.
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
While support and resistance concepts are widely known, Fangs automates the identification, validation, and retirement of structural levels, reducing subjective drawing and chart clutter. This provides consistent, repeatable structure analysis that would otherwise require manual interpretation across multiple timeframes.
SignalViper CoilCoil — Market State Filter for Trend vs Chop
Coil is a market state classification tool designed to help traders avoid low-quality conditions such as sideways price action and unstable transitions between trends. Instead of producing entry or exit signals, Coil focuses on identifying when directional trading is statistically unfavorable and when conditions begin to stabilize.
The script evaluates trend slope behavior relative to recent price movement, allowing it to normalize trend strength across different symbols, timeframes, and volatility environments.
Core Logic & Concepts
Coil classifies the market into one of three structural states:
CHOP
Indicates compressed or overlapping price movement where directional bias is weak and trend-following strategies are prone to whipsaws.
CAUTION
Represents transitional conditions where slope and structure begin to improve but lack sufficient stability for confident continuation.
CLEAR
Signals sustained directional alignment where trend slope is consistent relative to recent price behavior.
These states are derived from slope-normalized trend analysis, which evaluates the quality and persistence of directional movement rather than relying on absolute indicator values.
Indicator Families Used
Coil belongs to the trend-quality and regime-detection category of indicators. While it uses familiar mathematical concepts such as trend slope and smoothing, these elements are not used as standalone signals. Instead, they are normalized and evaluated over time to distinguish stable trends from noisy or mean-reverting environments.
Visual Outputs Explained
Background Highlighting
Gold background: CHOP conditions
Orange background: CAUTION conditions
No background: CLEAR trend conditions
State Change Labels
Labels appear only when the market transitions between structural states, helping traders identify meaningful regime shifts without constant visual noise.
All visual elements directly correspond to the current market state classification.
How to Use Coil
Coil is intended to be used as a decision filter, not a signal generator. Traders commonly use it to:
Avoid initiating trend trades during CHOP conditions
Exercise discretion during CAUTION states
Increase confidence in trend-based strategies during CLEAR states
It pairs naturally with momentum or entry-based tools by providing contextual awareness of market quality.
Why This Script Is Invite-Only
While the underlying concepts of trend and slope are well known, Coil’s value comes from how trend quality is normalized, evaluated, and abstracted into readable market states. This significantly reduces the need for multiple overlapping indicators and helps traders make clearer decisions during live conditions.
ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name
Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP
📖 Overview
This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals.
The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently:
BUY CALL or BUY PUT
Predefined Stop Loss (SL)
Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2)
Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box
The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction.
🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original)
This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework:
1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session.
Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs.
This filters low-quality trades during early chop.
2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation
CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows
PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs
This prevents trading against structure.
3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation
Breakouts are validated using:
ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range)
Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders)
This helps reduce fake breakouts.
4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management
Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer
This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels.
5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management
TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction)
TP2 = runner target (trend continuation)
After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional)
6️⃣ Discipline Controls
Only one active trade at a time
Cooldown period after a stop loss
Prevents over-trading and revenge trading

How to make it your kind of strategy (next step)
Given your past preferences, the best upgrade is:
• Trade only when price > EMA 21
• Or only when SPY > EMA 50 & VIX < 20
• Exit on price close below EMA 21 (your preferred rule)
Consider the following to increase win rate and decrease drawdown:
• Add EMA-21 exit instead of HA red
• Add SPY/VIX regime filter
• Give you real QQQ daily backtest metrics
• Convert this into a scan/alert-only indicator

First Candle Range (FCR) Gold Strategy - EtubersThe 18:00 (6:00 PM) candle is widely used by traders in the Forex and Futures markets because it marks the New York market rollover and the start of the Asian session.
How the Strategy Works:
- The Range: The High and Low prices of the 1-hour candle (18:00–19:00) create a "Supply and Demand" zone.
- The Breakout: A candle closing above the high signals a bullish breakout; a candle closing below the low signals a bearish breakout.
- Institutional Memory: By extending this zone forward for 4 days, traders can identify where "old" 18:00 levels act as support or resistance in the future.
- Execution: Traders often wait for a breakout followed by a "retest" of the box boundary to enter a high-probability trade.
