Price BoundariesThe Price Boundaries indicator plots two dynamic levels above and below the current market price. These levels help traders visualize a custom price band around the instrument, assisting with intraday bias, breakout zones, stop-loss planning, or scalp targets.
You can set the distance between the current price and each boundary using a user-defined input. For example, if the price is 6250 and the distance is set to 25, the indicator will automatically draw lines at 6275 (upper boundary) and 6225 (lower boundary). These levels update every candle based on the closing price.
This tool is useful for:
Marking expected movement ranges
Planning mean-reversion or breakout setups
Creating consistent distance-based zones
Visual reference for volatility compression or expansion
The indicator also optionally shades the area between the boundaries to make the zone easier to spot on the chart.

River 4.0River 4.0 is a visual system designed to help traders read market direction, trend-shift momentum, and high-quality entry zones through a combination of the River Cloud, three key structural lines, and a dedicated scalp zone system.
Key Features
1. River Cloud (Dynamic Daily Flow)
A dynamic zone formed between two daily-derived levels that represents market balance and directional flow.
The cloud color changes based on market conditions (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral), including smooth gradient transitions whenever a trend shift occurs.
2. High Line, Mid Line, Low Line
Three structural reference levels that help users identify buy zones, sell zones, and neutral zones without needing any technical calculations.
– Price above the High Line = Buy Zone
– Price below the Low Line = Sell Zone
– Price between the lines = Neutral Zone
3. Trend State Display
A compact panel on the bottom-right showing the current trend state, the values of all three structural lines, and the volume condition (Rising / Falling).
4. Buy & Sell Triggers
Visual markers that appear when price breaks specific structural levels, providing confirmation for entries aligned with the prevailing trend.
5. Scalp Zone Box
A special zone that forms whenever a trend shifts, giving traders a premium early-entry window during the initial momentum of a new trend.
Ideal for aggressive entries or re-entry confirmation after a retest.
6. Clean Visuals & Lightweight Logic
The system avoids heavy calculations or complex indicators.
All components are designed for a clean, fast, and easy-to-interpret chart experience.
Purpose of River 4.0
To give traders a clear visual understanding of market flow, transition phases, and real-price-action-based entry opportunities — suitable for scalpers, intraday traders, swing traders, and beginners alike.

AUTOSTDVThis indicator plots Standard Deviation projections to help traders with top ticking and bottom ticking market reversals. It automatically identifies market structure to draw both Manipulation and Distribution legs.
The script uses a custom algorithm to detect Major Highs and Major Lows based on pivot relationships. Once a major reversal is confirmed (via a break of a prior small pivot structure), the indicator calculates the standard deviation of the "Manipulation Leg" (the move leading into the pivot) and the "Distribution Leg" (the initial move away from the pivot) to project exhaustion targets.
**Features:**
* **Dual Leg Analysis:** Visualizes both the setup phase (Manipulation) and the expansion phase (Distribution).
* **Dynamic Settings:** automatically adjusts calculation lengths based on the timeframe to filter noise.
* **Timeframe Specific:** This indicator is optimized and restricted to work on the following timeframes: **5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, and 4h**.
* **Clean Visuals:** Hides raw pivot data to focus purely on the projection levels.

Divergence+This powerful, highly customizable divergence detector helps traders spot high-probability reversal and continuation signals with exceptional clarity and precision.
Built on robust zigzag pivot analysis, the indicator identifies classic and hidden divergences between price action and your chosen oscillator (RSI, CCI, Stochastic, MFI, and more — or any external oscillator). It draws clean connecting lines and marks pivots with simple "D" (regular divergence) or "H" (hidden divergence) text labels, making potential trend changes or continuations instantly visible.
Key Features That Make It a Trader's Essential Tool:
Dual-Pane Visualization: Always displays divergences clearly in the oscillator pane, with optional overlay on the main price chart (candles) for context without clutter.
Fully Independent Controls: Toggle lines and labels separately on the price chart — show text-only markers for a minimalist setup, or full lines + labels when needed.
Complete Visual Customization: Adjust colors for every element (oscillator line, divergence lines, and label text) directly from settings. Resize labels independently for the oscillator pane and price chart (tiny for subtlety or large for emphasis).
Smart Alerts: Configurable alerts for bullish/bearish regular and hidden divergences — never miss a setup.
Repainting Option: Choose real-time repainting for faster signals or confirmed pivots for delayed but rock-solid entries.
Flexible Trend Detection: Use zigzag-based, moving average, or external trend signals to accurately classify regular vs. hidden divergences.
Clean & Minimal Design: Text-only labels (no bulky shapes) keep your chart uncluttered while highlighting key pivots.
Whether you're hunting reversals in ranging markets, confirming trend continuations, or fine-tuning entries on higher timeframes, this screener delivers professional-grade divergence analysis with unmatched flexibility. Perfect for day traders, swing traders, and anyone who wants precise, actionable signals without overwhelming visuals.
A must-have tool for elevating your technical analysis game.

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide
### Issue: Excessive Signal Generation
**Symptoms**: Constant triangle markers, frequent alerts
**Root Cause**: Threshold too sensitive for current volatility
**Solution**: Increase "Min % Move" to 7-10%
**Verification**: Observe reduction in signal frequency while maintaining major moves
---
### Issue: Missed Significant Moves
**Symptoms**: No triangles during visible corrections
**Root Cause**: Threshold too conservative
**Solution**: Decrease "Min % Move" to 3-5%
**Verification**: Triangles appear during moderate retracements
---
### Issue: Labels Obscured or Invisible
**Symptoms**: Cannot see status or info labels
**Diagnostic Checklist**:
- Zoom level: Zoom out to reveal off-screen labels
- Settings: Verify "Show Info Label" is enabled
- Overlap: Check for other indicators obscuring labels
- Position: Labels placed 3 bars left of current price to prevent cutoff
**Solution**: Adjust chart zoom or disable overlapping indicators
---
### Issue: Persistent Red Background
**Symptoms**: Continuous red tinting despite apparent uptrend
**Root Cause**: One or both assets technically in pullback per threshold
**Solution**: Verify pullback percentages in info label; increase threshold if false positive
**Note**: Red background requires BOTH assets in pullback simultaneously
---
### Issue: No Triangles Displayed
**Diagnostic Checklist**:
- Verify "Show Pullback Triangles" enabled in Visual Options
- Confirm market not in extended uptrend (no pullbacks detected)
- Check threshold isn't too high (increase sensitivity)
---
### Issue: Divergence Signals Absent
**Solution**: Enable "Show Divergence Alerts" in Visual Options
**Note**: Divergence signals relatively rare; indicate significant correlation breakdowns
---
## 💡 Professional Trading Insights
### 1. Volume Confluence Analysis
**Integration Strategy**:
- Overlay volume indicator below price chart
- **Pullback + Low Volume** → Healthy correction within uptrend (bullish)
- **Pullback + High Volume** → Potential distribution or reversal (bearish)
- **Recovery + High Volume** → Strong accumulation confirmation (bullish)
**Application**: Validate indicator signals with volume context for higher-confidence trades
---
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Validation
**Hierarchical Analysis**:
- **Weekly (1W)**: Primary trend direction (strategic bias)
- **Daily (1D)**: Indicator signals (tactical execution)
- **4-Hour (4H)**: Precise entry timing within daily signals
**Protocol**: Ensure daily signals align with weekly trend; use 4H for entry refinement
---
### 3. Risk Management Framework
**Position Sizing Guidelines**:
- **Maximum Risk**: 2% account equity per position
- **Stop-Loss Placement**: Below pullback low + 1-2% buffer
- **Position Scaling**:
- Initial entry: 50% intended size
- Add 25% on confirmation (green arrow)
- Final 25% on bullish confirmation (green diamond)
**Capital Preservation**:
- Reduce exposure 50% on "BOTH PULLBACK" status
- Tighten stops to breakeven on bearish divergence (red X)
- Scale out 30% of position at predetermined profit targets
---
### 4. Macro Context Integration
**External Factors to Monitor**:
- **Total Crypto Market Capitalization**: Validate broad market alignment
- **Bitcoin Dominance**: Rising = BTC outperformance; Falling = altcoin season
- **Macro Events**: FOMC meetings, regulatory announcements, geopolitical developments
- **On-Chain Metrics**: Network activity, exchange flows (advanced)
**Application**: Indicator signals most reliable when macro context supports directional bias
---
### 5. Correlation Dynamics
**Healthy Market Characteristics**:
- ✅ Strong positive correlation (BTC and ETH move together)
- ✅ Coordinated recoveries (green diamond frequent)
- ✅ Simultaneous pullbacks of similar magnitude
**Warning Signs**:
- ⚠️ Frequent divergences (red X signals)
- ⚠️ Opposite directional moves
- ⚠️ One asset perpetually lagging
**Interpretation**: Strong correlation = stable bull market; Weak correlation = uncertainty, choppy conditions
---
## ✅ Best Practices Checklist
### DO:
- ✅ Primarily use daily timeframe for reliable signal generation
- ✅ Wait for confirmation signals (green diamond) before aggressive positioning
- ✅ Adjust threshold parameters based on prevailing volatility regime

## 📚 Dow Theory Educational Context
### Core Principles Implemented
**1. Trend Persistence Doctrine**
*"The trend is assumed to continue until a definitive reversal signal occurs"*
**Implementation**: Indicator tracks absolute highest high for each asset, maintaining trend assumption until threshold breach (5%+ pullback)
---
**2. Significant Movement Threshold**
*"Minor fluctuations are noise; significant moves indicate structural change"*
**Implementation**: Configurable percentage threshold (default 5%) filters noise, identifying meaningful secondary reactions
---
**3. Confirmation Principle**
*"Market indices must confirm each other for signal validity"*
**Implementation**: Dual-asset tracking; highest confidence signals require BTC and ETH agreement (both bullish or both in pullback)
---
**4. Secondary Reactions Within Primary Trend**
*"Corrections within trends are natural and present opportunity"*
**Implementation**: Pullback detection maintains context of primary trend; triangles mark secondary reactions, not reversals
---
### Dow Theory Concepts Not Directly Implemented
**Volume Confirmation** (Dow's Three Phases)
- *Rationale*: Volume analysis requires separate indicator for comprehensive assessment
- *Recommendation*: Overlay volume indicator alongside this tool
**Three-Phase Market Cycle** (Accumulation-Distribution Framework)
- *Rationale*: Phase identification requires subjective analysis beyond pure price action
- *Recommendation*: Manual identification using indicator signals as supporting evidence
**Line Analysis** (Support/Resistance)
- *Rationale*: Optional in settings; trader discretion preferred for level identification
- *Recommendation*: Enable S/R lines when conducting detailed structural analysis

Smart Divergence Engine Overlay [ChartNation]SMART DIVERGENCE ENGINE OVERLAY — CANDLE-ANCHORED RSI DIVERGENCE VISUALIZATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Divergence Engine Overlay renders pivot-confirmed RSI divergences directly on the price chart with candle-anchored lines and labels. This companion overlay shares the identical detection logic as the panel version but visualizes signals at their exact price levels rather than in oscillator space.
The overlay implements repainting-proof divergence detection through pivot-locked RSI evaluation at historical bars (rsi ), ensuring all lines and labels remain stable as new bars form. Visual elements anchor to xloc.bar_index coordinates, maintaining precise positioning across zoom levels and timeframe changes.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
CORE ARCHITECTURE
═══════════════════════════════════════════
PIVOT-LOCKED DETECTION SYSTEM
The overlay evaluates RSI at confirmed pivot bars, not at the current bar:
Technical implementation:
Price pivots detected via ta.pivotlow() / ta.pivothigh() with configurable Left/Right parameters
RSI value captured at the pivot bar: rsi (historical bar offset)
Divergence comparison performed between stored pivot values (lowRsiPrev vs lowRsiCurr)
State management via var floats prevents recalculation across bars
Result: Once a divergence line prints, it never moves or disappears. Historical stability is guaranteed because RSI evaluation occurs at a locked bar index (bar_index - pivotR), not at the moving present.
Bullish divergence logic:
if not na(lowPricePrev) and lowPriceCurr < lowPricePrev and lowRsiCurr > lowRsiPrev
→ Price made lower low, RSI made higher low
→ Divergence confirmed at lowIdxCurr (pivot bar index)
Bearish divergence logic:
if not na(highPricePrev) and highPriceCurr > highPricePrev and highRsiCurr < highRsiPrev
→ Price made higher high, RSI made lower high
→ Divergence confirmed at highIdxCurr (pivot bar index)
RSI ENGINE
The overlay uses the same RSI calculation as the panel version to ensure signal synchronization:
Base calculation: ta.rsi(src, 14) — standard RSI momentum window
Smoothing layer: ta.rma(rsiRaw, 2) — reduces high-frequency noise
Volatility bands: 34-period SMA basis with 1.618 standard deviation multiplier
Purpose: Bands define adaptive overbought/oversold context (not plotted on overlay)
The volatility framework exists in the calculation layer to maintain logic parity with the panel version, ensuring divergences trigger at identical bars across both implementations.
CANDLE-ANCHORED RENDERING
All visual elements use xloc.bar_index positioning:
Line rendering:
line.new(x1=lowIdxPrev, y1=lowPricePrev, x2=lowIdxCurr, y2=lowPriceCurr,
xloc=xloc.bar_index, color=bullCol, width=lineW)
This anchors lines to specific bar indices and price levels, not to time coordinates. Result: Lines maintain exact positioning when zooming, panning, or switching timeframes.
Label rendering:
label.new(x=lowIdxCurr, y=lowPriceCurr, text="BUY",
xloc=xloc.bar_index, style=label.style_label_up)
Labels attach to the second pivot's bar index and price level, scaling naturally with chart transformations.

ALERT SYSTEM
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Two alert conditions trigger at identical timing as visual signals:
"Bullish Divergence (Overlay)"
Triggers when: Bullish divergence confirms at second pivot
Timing: Fires AFTER Pivot Right bars complete (delayed but stable)
Message: "TDI: Bullish divergence"
Reliability: Never repaints (confirmation locked at rsi )
"Bearish Divergence (Overlay)"
Triggers when: Bearish divergence confirms at second pivot
Timing: Fires AFTER Pivot Right bars complete (delayed but stable)
Message: "TDI: Bearish divergence"
Reliability: Never repaints (confirmation locked at rsi )
Alert configuration:
Set once on any chart/timeframe
Fires only when divergence condition evaluates true
Synchronized with visual rendering (alert = line + label appear)
═══════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING IMPLEMENTATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL ANALYSIS WORKFLOW
The overlay provides direct price-level context for divergence signals:
Bullish divergence interpretation:
Identify two connected swing lows with upward-sloping line
Lower price low indicates selling pressure weakening
Higher RSI low indicates momentum refusing to confirm price weakness
BUY label marks the second swing low (divergence confirmation point)
Bearish divergence interpretation:
Identify two connected swing highs with downward-sloping line
Higher price high indicates buying pressure weakening
Lower RSI high indicates momentum refusing to confirm price strength
SELL label marks the second swing high (divergence confirmation point)
CONFLUENCE WITH PRICE STRUCTURE
Overlay enables direct correlation with chart elements:
Support/Resistance alignment:
Bullish divergence at major support level = higher probability reversal
Bearish divergence at major resistance level = higher probability reversal
Divergence in middle of range = lower conviction signal
Volume confirmation:
Divergence with decreasing volume = confirms momentum exhaustion
Divergence with increasing volume = mixed signal, proceed with caution
Multi-timeframe context:
Higher timeframe trend alignment increases signal reliability
Counter-trend divergences (against HTF trend) require additional confirmation
ENTRY/EXIT FRAMEWORK
The overlay marks divergence confirmation points, not entry triggers:
Entry consideration process:
Divergence line appears → structure-confirmed momentum divergence detected
Wait for price confirmation (engulfing candle, break of structure, rejection wick)
Validate with additional confluence (volume, support/resistance, HTF trend)
Enter with predefined stop below/above divergence pivot
Size position according to distance to invalidation level
Exit planning:
Initial target: Previous swing high (bullish) / swing low (bearish)
Trail stop: Move to breakeven after initial profit target
Invalidation: Close below divergence low (bullish) / above divergence high (bearish)
═══════════════════════════════════════════
PANEL VS OVERLAY USAGE
═══════════════════════════════════════════
IDENTICAL DETECTION LOGIC
Both versions implement the same pivot-locked RSI evaluation:
Same RSI calculation (14-length with 2-period RMA smoothing)
Same volatility band framework (34-SMA + 1.618σ)
Same pivot confirmation (10 Left + 10 Right)
Same divergence comparison (rsi at locked bar indices)
Result: Divergences trigger at identical bars across both implementations.
RENDERING DIFFERENCES
Panel version (overlay=false):
Renders in separate pane below price chart
Displays RSI line, volatility bands, 50-line midline
Divergence lines drawn in oscillator space (RSI value coordinates)
Optional Shark Fin exhaustion visualization
Labels positioned relative to RSI levels
Overlay version (overlay=true):
Renders directly on price chart
No RSI line or bands visible (calculate internally for logic only)
Divergence lines drawn in price space (actual price coordinates)
No Shark Fin visualization (price chart remains clean)
Labels positioned at actual swing high/low prices
COMPLEMENTARY WORKFLOW
Recommended usage pattern:
Panel version: Monitor RSI regime (above/below 50), band interactions, Shark Fin exhaustion
Overlay version: Identify exact divergence price levels, correlate with support/resistance
Combined analysis: Use panel for momentum context, overlay for entry/exit precision
Alternative workflow (overlay only):
If RSI analysis not required, overlay version provides clean divergence detection
Pair with external RSI indicator if separate momentum visualization needed
Focuses chart space on price action and divergence markers only

USE CASE SCENARIOS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
SCENARIO 1: Support/Resistance Divergence
Setup: Price tests major support level twice, second test makes lower low
Signal: Bullish divergence line appears, RSI makes higher low at support
Interpretation: Momentum refusing to confirm price weakness at critical level
Action: Consider long entry on next bullish candle above divergence low
SCENARIO 2: Trend Exhaustion
Setup: Strong uptrend, price makes new high but momentum slowing
Signal: Bearish divergence line appears, RSI makes lower high
Interpretation: Buying pressure weakening despite higher price high
Action: Consider profit-taking on longs, watch for reversal confirmation
SCENARIO 3: Range-Bound Reversal
Setup: Price oscillating in horizontal range, tests lower boundary
Signal: Bullish divergence at range support
Interpretation: Oversold bounce opportunity within defined range
Action: Long entry targeting range midpoint or upper boundary
SCENARIO 4: Failed Breakout
Setup: Price breaks resistance but momentum doesn't confirm
Signal: Bearish divergence forms immediately after breakout
Interpretation: Breakout lacks momentum conviction, likely false breakout
Action: Consider fade setup (short) with stop above divergence high
═══════════════════════════════════════════
LIMITATIONS & CONSIDERATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
SIGNAL TIMING:
Divergences print AFTER Pivot Right bars complete. This delay is intentional:
Ensures structure confirmation (full swing formation)
Prevents real-time repaint issues
Trades confirmation reliability for signal speed
Users requiring instant signals should use real-time divergence detectors (with repaint risk).
Users requiring reliable, stable signals should accept the confirmation delay.
LINE CLUTTER:
On lower timeframes with sensitive pivot settings:
High signal frequency may create visual clutter
Solution: Increase Pivot Left/Right values to filter smaller swings
Alternative: Use panel version for primary analysis, overlay for key divergences only
FALSE SIGNALS:
Divergences indicate momentum divergence, not guaranteed reversals:
Strong trends can maintain divergent conditions for extended periods
Divergence in isolation is a warning sign, not a trade trigger
Requires confluence with price action, volume, structure for high-probability setups
VOLATILITY BAND CONTEXT:
Bands calculate internally but don't visualize on overlay:
Users lose visual context of RSI overbought/oversold zones
Solution: Use panel version alongside overlay for complete RSI regime awareness
Alternative: Add separate RSI indicator to chart for band visualization
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Divergence Engine Overlay provides candle-anchored, repainting-proof RSI divergence visualization directly on price charts. Lines and labels render at exact pivot price levels using xloc.bar_index positioning, maintaining stability across all chart transformations. Divergence detection uses pivot-locked RSI evaluation (rsi ) to ensure historical signals never move or disappear.
The overlay shares identical detection logic with the panel version but renders in price space rather than oscillator space, enabling direct correlation with support/resistance levels and price structure. All visual elements trigger only after full pivot confirmation (Pivot Left + Pivot Right bars), trading signal speed for absolute reliability.
Composite Market Momentum Index (CMM)***The Composite Market Momentum Index (CMMI), developed by Alcides Davila, a Miami-based Business Consultant, functions as a specialized momentum oscillator within sophisticated technical frameworks such as the Composite Predictive Index (CPI-IGv5)***. Davila's background in volatile sectors informs CMMI's design, emphasizing resilient, multi-layered analysis to navigate market uncertainties. At its essence, CMMI synthesizes momentum from RSI and momentum indicators, serving as a key input to CPI-(IGv5's)*** probability engine for directional forecasts.
The primary purpose of CMMI is to assess market strength and potential shifts, helping traders identify high-probability opportunities while mitigating risks from isolated metrics. Integrated into CPI-IGv5, it bolsters the "probUp" metric—a probabilistic estimate of upward price action—by fusing complementary factors, yielding a claimed 68-80% trend-prediction accuracy in backtests. Productivity is moderate to high under trending conditions, where multi-indicator redundancy reduces false positives. Still, it may underperform in ranging or highly volatile markets, necessitating user-led backtesting to assess real-world efficacy.
Mathematically, CMMI originates from a 9-period momentum applied to a 14-period RSI, enhanced by a 3-period smoothed short RSI to create the base composite. It undergoes Z-score standardization over a 50-bar window for normalization, followed by a linear weighted sum with other elements (e.g., 0.10 allocation to momentum). Logical enhancements include using the hyperbolic tangent (tanh) for value bounding and cumulative distribution function (CDF) or logistic mappings to derive probabilities, ensuring outputs are statistically rigorous. Threshold logic governs signals: overbought alerts trigger on crossovers above 75 (normalized scale), oversold below 25, with strict pro filters at 0.55 (buy) and 0.45 (sell) on a 0-1 basis, often requiring confirmations from EMA slopes, POC crossovers, or volume deltas. This gated approach adds precision by filtering signals through base, strong, and ultra categories based on probUp thresholds, such as>0.68 for medium-term entries.
Versatility is evident in CMMI's multitimeframe adaptability, supporting modes from scalping (1-minute resolution, short multipliers) to long-term (daily, extended lookbacks up to 500 bars), dynamically adjusting via secure data requests to incorporate live and historical momentum. It accommodates diverse assets, including commodities—Davila's focus—equities, and forex, with customizable weights and manual inputs ( scale) for external variables like news impact (elevated to 0.20 for emphasis) or industry segments (0.05), allowing fine-tuning for macroeconomic or sector-specific contexts. Efficiency is achieved through real-time rolling sums, Z-windows, and resource optimizations (e.g., max 500 bars/lines/labels), minimizing computational overhead while enabling cooldowns to mitigate alert fatigue in high-frequency setups.
For enhanced application, pair with confirmatory indicators such as MACD ratios or VWAP, and use strategy modes to backtest signal viability across horizons. Target investors include day traders and scalpers seeking quick, data-driven entries, institutions focused on commodity analysis, and technically adept retail users, all of whom benefit from its probabilistic framework over rigid rules. While versatile, CMMI's closed-source aspects in Pine Script limit full transparency, underscoring the need for empirical testing.
Price In Motion – Inside Candle Breakout SystemPrice In Motion – Inside Candle Breakout System
Created for traders who want clean, structured inside-bar breakouts without clutter or unnecessary signals.
📌 What This Indicator Does
This tool identifies inside candles and plots simple breakout zones around them.
A breakout arrow only appears when price closes outside the zone, giving a clear, rules-based trigger.
You can choose between two inside-bar detection modes:
🔄 Two Inside-Candle Modes (Toggle)
1️⃣ Standard Mode (default)
Inside candle = current body is contained within the prior candle’s high–low range.
Wicks can be outside — only the body matters.
A clean way to spot compression and continuation setups.
2️⃣ Candle-to-Candle Mode (optional)
Inside candle = current body is fully within the prior candle’s body.
Produces tighter signals and more refined breakout zones.
🧱 Merged Inside Candle Zones
Back-to-back inside candles are automatically merged into one zone:
Zone High = highest high of the cluster
Zone Low = lowest low of the cluster
This keeps the chart clean and maintains a single breakout level until price closes outside of it.
📉📈 Breakout Signals
A breakout arrow prints only when price closes outside the zone:
Green arrow = close above the zone
Red arrow = close below the zone
Arrows can be toggled on/off at any time.
🎯 Why This Helps
Unlike typical inside-bar indicators that only mark the candle, this tool:
Shows clean compression zones
Merges clusters of inside candles
Confirms breakout only on candle close
Removes duplicate or noisy signals
Never repaints
It’s built for traders who value structure, clarity, and repeatable setups.
🛠 Best Used For
Breakout continuation
Pullback structure
Compression analysis
Scalping or intraday execution
Futures, stocks, crypto — any timeframe
Volume vs Body Alert.Vsa
"This VSA-based indicator identifies potential anomalies in price action by detecting candles that show a larger body size than the previous candle while simultaneously having lower volume. This 'more result with less effort' pattern can signal weakness, manipulation, or potential trend exhaustion. Visual signals and customizable alerts notify traders when these conditions occur."
Reversal ConfirmationReversal Confirmation (RC)
This indicator identifies potential price reversals using a simple but effective two-candle pattern. It detects when a trend exhausts and confirms the reversal when the next candle eclipses the close of the reversal candle.
How It Works
The indicator uses a two-step process to confirm reversals:
Reversal Candle (R) - The first candle that closes in the opposite direction after a sustained trend. This signals potential exhaustion of the current move.
Confirmation Candle (C) - The candle that eclipses (closes beyond) the close of the reversal candle. This confirms the reversal is underway.
For a bullish reversal, the confirmation candle must close above the close of the reversal candle. For a bearish reversal, the confirmation candle must close below the close of the reversal candle.
Key Features
Requires a significant prior trend before looking for reversals, filtering out choppy sideways markets
Uses ATR to measure move significance, adapting to current volatility
Clean two-candle pattern that's easy to understand and trade
Visual dashed line showing the reversal candle close level that must be eclipsed
Built-in alerts for all signal types
Settings
Trend Lookback - Number of candles to analyze for prior trend detection (default: 7)
Trend Strength - Percentage of lookback candles required in trend direction (default: 0.7 = 70%)
Minimum Move (ATR multiple) - How large the prior move must be before signaling (default: 2.0)
Show Bullish/Bearish - Toggle each signal type on or off
Mark Reversal Candles - Toggle visibility of the reversal candle markers
Visual Signals
"R" with small circle - Marks the reversal candle where the pattern begins
"C" with triangle - Marks the confirmation candle (your entry signal)
Dashed line - Shows the close level of the reversal candle that must be eclipsed
Alerts
Three alert options are available:
Bullish Confirmation
Bearish Confirmation
Any Confirmation
How To Set Up Alerts
Add the indicator to your chart
Right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert" (or press Alt+A)
In the Condition dropdown, select "Reversal Confirmation"
Choose your preferred alert type
Set notification preferences (popup, email, sound, webhook)
Click "Create"
Tips For Best Results
Signals appearing at key support/resistance levels tend to be more reliable
Combine with VWAP, moving averages, or prior day high/low for confluence
Use higher timeframe trend direction as a filter
Increase Minimum Move ATR in volatile conditions to reduce false signals
Adjust Trend Lookback based on your timeframe (higher values for longer timeframes)
The Logic Behind It
After a sustained move in one direction, the first candle to close in the opposite direction signals potential exhaustion. However, one candle alone isn't enough. When the next candle eclipses the close of that reversal candle, it confirms that buyers (or sellers) have truly taken control and the reversal is underway.

This free tool is intended as a simple, reliable ORB visualizer without alerts, filters, or strategy logic.
Multi-Candle Reversal ConfirmationMulti-Candle Reversal Confirmation (MCRC)
This indicator identifies potential price reversals using a 3-candle confirmation pattern. It filters out noise by requiring a significant prior trend before signaling, helping you catch turning points rather than getting trapped in choppy price action.
How It Works
The indicator uses a three-step process to confirm reversals:
Candle 1 (Rejection) - Detects a rejection candle after a sustained move. This includes hammer/shooting star patterns with long wicks, doji candles showing indecision, or stall candles with unusually small bodies.
Candle 2 (Reversal) - Confirms the candle closes in the opposite direction of the prior trend.
Candle 3 (Confirmation) - Validates the reversal by either continuing in the new direction or breaking the high/low of the previous candle.
Key Features
Requires a significant prior trend before looking for reversals (no signals in choppy, sideways markets)
Uses ATR to measure move significance, adapting to current volatility
Marks rejection candles with small circles for early awareness
Confirmed signals shown as triangles with Bull/Bear labels
Built-in alerts for all signal types
Settings
Wick to Body Ratio - How pronounced the rejection wick must be compared to the candle body (default: 2.0)
Doji Threshold - Maximum body size relative to total range to qualify as a doji (default: 0.1)
Trend Lookback - Number of candles to analyze for prior trend detection (default: 5)
Trend Strength - Percentage of lookback candles required in trend direction (default: 0.6 = 60%)
Minimum Move (ATR multiple) - How large the prior move must be before signaling (default: 1.5)
Show Bullish/Bearish - Toggle each signal type on or off
Visual Signals
Small Circle - Marks potential rejection candles (first candle in the pattern)
Green Triangle (Bull) - Confirmed bullish reversal signal
Red Triangle (Bear) - Confirmed bearish reversal signal
Alerts
Three alert options are available:
Bullish Reversal Confirmed
Bearish Reversal Confirmed
Any Reversal Confirmed
How To Set Up Alerts
Add the indicator to your chart
Right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert" (or press Alt+A)
In the Condition dropdown, select "Multi-Candle Reversal Confirmation"
Choose your preferred alert type
Set notification preferences (popup, email, sound, webhook)
Click "Create"
Tips For Best Results
Combine with key support/resistance levels for higher probability trades
Use higher timeframe trend direction as a filter
Adjust Trend Lookback based on your timeframe (higher for longer timeframes)
Increase Minimum Move ATR in volatile conditions to reduce false signals
Signals appearing near VWAP, moving averages, or prior day levels tend to be more reliable
Note: This indicator is for informational purposes only and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and consider combining with other forms of analysis.
STOC - Dynamic CPR (Auto TF + Trend Table)This indicator dynamically plots the Central Pivot Range (CPR) along with key pivot levels (R1, R2, S1, S2), and automatically adjusts the CPR timeframe based on the chart timeframe for accurate context: Daily CPR for intraday charts below 1 hour, Weekly CPR for 1-hour to daily charts, and Monthly CPR for daily, weekly, and monthly charts. A trend panel is displayed on the top-right showing whether the market is Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish depending on price position relative to the CPR band, helping traders quickly assess directional bias and support-resistance structure for intraday, swing, and positional trading.
PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system.
It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including:
Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance)
Lower phase boundary (dynamic support)
Phase average (mean-reversion anchor)
Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL)
The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages.
This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own.
However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released.
This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour:
phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic.
This makes the indicator valuable for:
Intra-day and swing traders
Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders
Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies
Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming
Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking
Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine.
Works Best With:
This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour.
When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.
3-Candle Reversal & Retest (Severin-style) v63-Candle Reversal & Retest (Severin-style)
What it does
Detects a three-candle reversal with a retest entry, then plots compact buy/sell markers anchored to the exact bar and price. Designed for fast execution timeframes (1–5m) but works on any TF.
Pattern logic (longs)
Approach candle: bearish candle closing above a chosen reference level.
Reversal candle: bullish candle with a minimum body size (filters out dojis). Optional requirement that it sweeps the prior low.
Retest/entry candle: dips back into a configurable fraction of candle #2’s body and closes bullish (lower wick first).
Shorts use the mirror conditions.
Reference level (choose one)
Manual level – type a price or drag the built-in cyan line.
Previous Day High/Low
Session VWAP
SMA (length input)
The approach candle must close on the correct side of this level (above for longs, below for shorts).
Signals & visuals
Green triangle = 3C Long. Plotted at low − pad ticks.
Red triangle = 3C Short. Plotted at high + pad ticks.
All markers are price-anchored (bar index + price), so they move with candles when you pan/zoom.
Option to keep markers only for the last N bars (prevents “floating” artefacts when the chart rescales).
Inputs
Reference source (Manual / PDH / PDL / VWAP / SMA)
Manual price and draggable line toggle (+ one-click reset)
Min body % for reversal candle
Require liquidity sweep on candle #2 (on/off)
Retest zone fraction of candle #2 body (e.g., 0.5 = lower/upper half)
Marker size and padding (in ticks)
Retain markers for last N bars
Alerts
“3C Long Entry” and “3C Short Entry” fire on bar close when the full three-candle pattern is confirmed.
How to use
Pick your reference. For manual levels, enable the draggable line and place it at your area (PD value area edge, key level, etc.).
Trade the first clean signal that forms around that reference, ideally confluencing with structure/flow (VWAP, prior day levels, liquidity pools).
Manage risk below/above the retest candle or the reversal candle, not the approach candle.
Tips
Works best after impulsive moves into a level, not in the middle of chop.
Tighten the min body % to avoid weak reversals on slow sessions.
On highly volatile alts, increase the retest fraction (e.g., 0.6–0.7) to demand a deeper retest.
Notes
This is an execution pattern, not a complete system. Add your own higher-timeframe bias and risk rules.
Nothing here is financial advice. Use position sizing and stops.
ICT Order Block Identifier [Eˣ]📦 Order Block Identifier
Overview
The Order Block Identifier automatically detects and displays institutional order blocks on your charts - zones where banks, hedge funds, and market makers place their orders. This indicator helps identify where institutions are likely to defend their positions and where price often finds support or resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Order Blocks:
• 🟢 Bullish Order Blocks (OB+) - Last bearish candle before strong bullish move
• 🔴 Bearish Order Blocks (OB-) - Last bullish candle before strong bearish move
• Automatically identifies institutional buying/selling zones
• Tracks up to 30 order blocks simultaneously
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Features:
• Auto-Timeframe Adjustment - Optimizes detection for 1min to Weekly charts
• Active Block Highlighting - Shows which OB price is approaching
• Touch Tracking - Knows when blocks are tested
• ATR-Based Detection - Adapts to each instrument's volatility
• Strength Filtering - Choose Low/Medium/High to control sensitivity
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Order Blocks
What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are the "footprints" left behind by institutional traders (banks, hedge funds, market makers) when they enter large positions. Because institutions can't fill massive orders at once without moving the market, they:
1. Place orders gradually over time
2. Leave zones where their buy/sell orders are concentrated
3. Defend these zones when price returns
4. Create reliable support and resistance levels
The ICT Concept:
Developed by Michael Huddleston (Inner Circle Trader), order block theory states that:
• The last opposite-colored candle before a strong move contains institutional orders
• Price often returns to test these zones before continuing
• These zones act as strong support (bullish OB) or resistance (bearish OB)
• Smart money defends their positions at these levels
Why Order Blocks Work:
• Unfilled Orders: Institutions may still have pending orders in the block
• Position Defense: They protect their entries by adding to positions
• Stop Placement: Retail stops cluster near these zones (liquidity for institutions)
• Market Structure: Price respects these levels due to order flow dynamics
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or declining
2. Institutions begin accumulating (buying)
3. A strong bullish move erupts
4. The last bearish candle before this move = Bullish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were buying aggressively
Why The Last Bearish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all selling pressure at this level
• Their buy orders filled as price was declining
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more buying
• It becomes a demand zone / support level
Trading Bullish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bullish OB (green box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (pin bar, engulfing, etc.)
• Enter long when price bounces from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Below the order block
• Target: Recent high or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other support (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bullish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bullish OB forms at $50,000 (last red candle before rally)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops back to $50,100 (touching OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms on the OB
• Enter long at $50,200, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+ (previous high)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 Bearish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or rising
2. Institutions begin distributing (selling)
3. A strong bearish move erupts
4. The last bullish candle before this move = Bearish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were selling aggressively
Why The Last Bullish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all buying pressure at this level
• Their sell orders filled as price was rising
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more selling
• It becomes a supply zone / resistance level
Trading Bearish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bearish OB (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (shooting star, bearish engulfing)
• Enter short when price rejects from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Above the order block
• Target: Recent low or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other resistance (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bearish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bearish OB forms at $48,000 (last green candle before drop)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies back to $47,900 (touching OB)

📊 How To Use This Indicator
Strategy 1: Order Block Retest (Classic)
Best For: Swing trading, capturing reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Win Rate: 60-70% (first touch)
Entry Rules:
1. Identify unmitigated order block (bright color, not gray)
2. Wait for price to return to the OB zone
3. Look for price action confirmation:
• Bullish OB: Pin bar, bullish engulfing, hammer
• Bearish OB: Shooting star, bearish engulfing, doji
4. Enter in the direction of the OB
5. Stop loss: Beyond the opposite side of OB (20-30 pips)
6. Target: 2-3R or opposite OB
Example:
• Bullish OB at $100-$102
• Price drops to $101.50 (enters OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms with low at $100.80
• Enter long at $102 (OB high), stop at $99.50
• Risk: $2.50, Target: $107.50 (3R)
Strategy 2: Break & Retest
Best For: Trend trading, breakout confirmation
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Win Rate: 65-75%
Entry Rules:
1. Price breaks through an order block
2. Wait for pullback to the broken OB
3. The OB now acts as support (if broken up) or resistance (if broken down)
4. Enter when price respects the flipped OB
5. Stop: Inside the OB zone
6. Target: Next OB or structure level
Why It Works: Broken OBs flip polarity - support becomes resistance and vice versa
Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Best For: High-probability setups
Timeframes: Combine 1H + 4H or 15min + 1H
Win Rate: 70-80%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify order block on higher timeframe (4H or Daily)
2. Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15min)
3. Wait for lower TF order block to form within higher TF OB
4. Trade the lower TF OB in direction of higher TF OB
5. Stop: Below lower TF OB
6. Target: Edge of higher TF OB or beyond
Why It Works: Alignment across timeframes = institutional consensus
Strategy 4: Order Block to Order Block
Best For: Range trading, swing entries
Timeframes: 1H, 4H
Win Rate: 55-65%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify both bullish OB below and bearish OB above
2. Price is ranging between these OBs
3. Enter long at bullish OB, target bearish OB
4. Enter short at bearish OB, target bullish OB
5. Stop: Beyond the trading OB
6. Exit at opposite OB
Why It Works: Price moves from one institutional zone to another
Strategy 5: Mitigation Fade
Best For: Aggressive scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min
Win Rate: 50-60% (higher risk)
Entry Rules:
1. Price approaches an order block
2. Instead of bouncing, price breaks through (mitigates it)
3. Enter immediately in direction of breakout
4. Stop: Back inside the mitigated OB
5. Quick target: 1-1.5R
Why It Works: When OB fails, it often leads to strong continuation

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• First touch is best - Unmitigated OBs have highest win rate (60-70%)
• Wait for confirmation - Don't buy/sell just because price touched OB
• Use multiple timeframes - Higher TF OBs are stronger than lower TF
• Combine with structure - OB + trendline/support = high probability
• Trade with the bias - More bullish OBs = favor longs
• Respect mitigation - Once OB is mitigated, it's less reliable
• Use proper stop loss - Always place stops beyond the OB zone
• Consider session timing - OBs work best during London/NY sessions
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly buy/sell at OBs - Wait for confirmation
• Don't ignore mitigation - Gray blocks are much weaker
• Don't trade every OB - Quality over quantity
• Don't fight strong trends - OBs can be run through in strong momentum
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance
• Don't expect 100% win rate - Even best OBs fail sometimes (30-40% of time)
• Don't overtrade - Wait for A+ setups with confluence
🎯 Best Timeframes By Trading Style:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (quick OB touches)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (major institutional zones)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (strongest OBs)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: Forex major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), BTC, ETH, ES, NQ
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Avoid: Very low liquidity instruments (OBs less reliable)
⏰ Best Times To Trade OBs:
• London Session (03:00-12:00 EST): Highest OB respect rate
• NY Session (08:00-17:00 EST): Strong OB reactions
• London-NY Overlap (08:00-12:00 EST): Best probability
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced Order Block Concepts
Order Block Flips (Polarity Change)
When price breaks through an OB and closes beyond it:
• Bullish OB that's broken becomes bearish (support becomes resistance)
• Bearish OB that's broken becomes bullish (resistance becomes support)
• Trading: Watch for retest of broken OB from opposite side
Order Block Refinement
When multiple OBs form at similar level:
• Later OB "refines" or "replaces" the earlier one
• Use the most recent OB as the active zone
• Older OBs become less relevant
Order Block Clusters
Multiple OBs stacked close together:
• Creates a "super zone" of institutional interest
• Higher probability of reversal
• Wider zone for entries (more room for confirmation)
Fair Value Gaps + Order Blocks
When OB aligns with Fair Value Gap:
• Extremely high probability setup
• Price is drawn to fill the gap AND test the OB
• Double confluence = institutional magnet
Order Block Mitigation Types
• Full Mitigation: Price fully enters and closes inside OB
• Partial Mitigation: Price wicks into OB but closes outside
• False Mitigation: Quick touch then immediate rejection
• Partial/false mitigation = OB still somewhat valid
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common Order Block Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Retest
• OB forms during strong move
• Price continues 100-200+ pips
• Price retraces back to OB
• Clean bounce with confirmation candle
• Highest probability pattern
Pattern 2: The Double Tap
• Price tests OB, bounces weakly
• Price tests same OB again
• Second test produces stronger reaction
• Second touch often better entry
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price breaks through OB
• Immediately reverses back
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Enter after price reclaims OB
Pattern 4: The Ladder
• Multiple OBs stacked like stairs
• Price steps from one OB to next
• Each OB provides support/resistance
• Trade OB-to-OB movements
Pattern 5: The Failed OB
• Price crashes through OB without pause
• OB completely invalidated
• Often signals strong momentum
• Don't fight it, trade the breakout

Version History
• v1.0 - Initial release with auto-timeframe detection and ATR-based strength filtering
SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix [PhenLabs]📊 SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix applies computational linguistics methodology to Smart Money Concepts trading. By treating SMC patterns as a discrete “alphabet” and analyzing their sequential relationships through N-gram modeling, this indicator calculates the statistical probability of which pattern will appear next based on historical transitions.
Traditional SMC analysis is reactive—traders identify patterns after they form and then anticipate the next move. This indicator inverts that approach by building a transition probability matrix from up to 5,000 bars of pattern history, enabling traders to see which SMC formations most frequently follow their current market sequence.
The indicator detects and classifies 11 distinct SMC patterns including Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Liquidity Sweeps, Break of Structure, and Change of Character in both bullish and bearish variants, then tracks how these patterns transition from one to another over time.
🚀 Points of Innovation
First indicator to apply N-gram sequence modeling from computational linguistics to SMC pattern analysis
Dynamic transition matrix rebuilds every 50 bars for adaptive probability calculations
Supports bigram (2), trigram (3), and quadgram (4) sequence lengths for varying analysis depth
Priority-based pattern classification ensures higher-significance patterns (CHoCH, BOS) take precedence
Configurable minimum occurrence threshold filters out statistically insignificant predictions
Real-time probability visualization with graphical confidence bars
🔧 Core Components
Pattern Alphabet System: 11 discrete SMC patterns encoded as integers for efficient matrix indexing and transition tracking
Swing Point Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh/pivotlow with configurable sensitivity for non-repainting structure identification
Transition Count Matrix: Flattened array storing occurrence counts for all possible pattern sequence transitions
Context Encoder: Converts N-gram pattern sequences into unique integer IDs for matrix lookup
Probability Calculator: Transforms raw transition counts into percentage probabilities for each possible next pattern
🔥 Key Features
Multi-Pattern SMC Detection: Simultaneously identifies FVGs, Order Blocks, Liquidity Sweeps, BOS, and CHoCH formations
Adjustable N-Gram Length: Choose between 2-4 pattern sequences to balance specificity against sample size
Flexible Lookback Range: Analyze anywhere from 100 to 5,000 historical bars for matrix construction
Pattern Toggle Controls: Enable or disable individual SMC pattern types to customize analysis focus
Probability Threshold Filtering: Set minimum occurrence requirements to ensure prediction reliability
Alert Integration: Built-in alert conditions trigger when high-probability predictions emerge
🎨 Visualization
Probability Table: Displays current pattern, recent sequence, sample count, and top N predicted patterns with percentage probabilities
Graphical Probability Bars: Visual bar representation (█░) showing relative probability strength at a glance
Chart Pattern Markers: Color-coded labels placed directly on price bars identifying detected SMC formations
Pattern Short Codes: Compact notation (F+, F-, O+, O-, L↑, L↓, B+, B-, C+, C-) for quick pattern identification
Customizable Table Position: Place probability display in any corner of your chart
📖 Usage Guidelines
N-Gram Configuration
N-Gram Length: Default 2, Range 2-4. Lower values provide more samples but less specificity. Higher values capture complex sequences but require more historical data.
Matrix Lookback Bars: Default 500, Range 100-5000. More bars increase statistical significance but may include outdated market behavior.
Min Occurrences for Prediction: Default 2, Range 1-10. Higher values filter noise but may reduce prediction availability.
SMC Detection Settings
Swing Detection Length: Default 5, Range 2-20. Controls pivot sensitivity for structure analysis.
FVG Minimum Size: Default 0.1%, Range 0.01-2.0%. Filters insignificant gaps.
Order Block Lookback: Default 10, Range 3-30. Bars to search for OB formations.
Liquidity Sweep Threshold: Default 0.3%, Range 0.05-1.0%. Minimum wick extension beyond swing points.
Display Settings
Show Probability Table: Toggle the probability matrix display on/off.
Show Top N Probabilities: Default 5, Range 3-10. Number of predicted patterns to display.
Show SMC Markers: Toggle on-chart pattern labels.
✅ Best Use Cases
Anticipating continuation or reversal patterns after liquidity sweeps
Identifying high-probability BOS/CHoCH sequences for trend trading
Filtering FVG and Order Block signals based on historical follow-through rates
Building confluence by comparing predicted patterns with other technical analysis
Studying how SMC patterns typically sequence on specific instruments or timeframes
⚠️ Limitations
Predictions are based solely on historical pattern frequency and do not account for fundamental factors
Low sample counts produce unreliable probabilities—always check the Samples display
Market regime changes can invalidate historical transition patterns
The indicator requires sufficient historical data to build meaningful probability matrices
Pattern detection uses standardized parameters that may not capture all institutional activity
💡 What Makes This Unique
Linguistic Modeling Applied to Markets: Treats SMC patterns like words in a language, analyzing how they “flow” together
Quantified Pattern Relationships: Transforms subjective SMC analysis into objective probability percentages
Adaptive Learning: Matrix rebuilds periodically to incorporate recent pattern behavior
Comprehensive SMC Coverage: Tracks all major Smart Money Concepts in a unified probability framework
🔬 How It Works
1. Pattern Detection Phase
Each bar is analyzed for SMC formations using configurable detection parameters
A priority hierarchy assigns the most significant pattern when multiple detections occur
2. Sequence Encoding Phase
Detected patterns are stored in a rolling history buffer of recent classifications
The current N-gram context is encoded into a unique integer identifier
3. Matrix Construction Phase
Historical pattern sequences are iterated to count transition occurrences
Each context-to-next-pattern transition increments the appropriate matrix cell
4. Probability Calculation Phase
Current context ID retrieves corresponding transition counts from the matrix
Raw counts are converted to percentages based on total context occurrences
5. Visualization Phase
Probabilities are sorted and the top N predictions are displayed in the table
Chart markers identify the current detected pattern for visual reference
💡 Note:
This indicator performs best when used as a confluence tool alongside traditional SMC analysis. The probability predictions highlight statistically common pattern sequences but should not be used as standalone trading signals. Always verify predictions against price action context, higher timeframe structure, and your overall trading plan. Monitor the sample count to ensure predictions are based on adequate historical data.
