ICT HTF MSS & Liquidity (fadi)ICT HTF MSS & Liquidity provides higher timeframe view of where the liquidity may reside and when higher timeframe market structure shift has occurred.
In his 2022 mentorship, ICT has advocated used the 15m chart to watch for liquidity and looking for lower timeframes for entry (5m,4m,3m,2m,1m).
Liquidity will reside above pivot points and ICT pivot points are based on 3 candle formation for the short term, three short term formation for intermediate, and three intermediate formation for the long terms.

LW StructureThis easy and intuitive tool can be helpful to capture market trends.
This indicator marks the max and the min generated from the price with labels. The green labels are for the max peak and the red label for the min peak. This tool is inspired to the Larry Williams technique to easily catch the trend basing on the decreasing maximums and increasing mininums of the market structure.
Drawing inspiration from the Larry Williams approach, the LW Structure Indicator simplifies the process of recognizing trend patterns through the lens of market structure dynamics .
Fractals 5/7/9/11/13 ModifiedDescription:
The Modified Fractals Indicator is designed to help traders identify specific fractal patterns on a chart. Unlike traditional Williams Fractals, this indicator focuses on highlighting two distinct types of fractals:
- UpFractals: These fractals are identified when each preceding candle has a higher high than the one before it, and each succeeding candle has a higher high than the one following it.
- DownFractals: Conversely, DownFractals are detected when each preceding candle has a lower low than the one before it, and each succeeding candle has a lower low than the one following it.
This unique approach sets it apart from standard Fractal indicators.
Features:
1. Originality and Uniqueness: This indicator employs a distinctive algorithm to detect and display modified fractals, providing a fresh perspective on price reversals.
2. Customizable Parameters: Users can fine-tune the indicator to their trading strategy by adjusting the candle count and arrow size.
3. Easy-to-Understand Chart: The Modified Fractals Indicator is designed to provide clear and easily identifiable signals on your chart, enhancing your trading experience.
4. User-Friendly Interface: This indicator is user-friendly and can be easily integrated into your TradingView setup.
How it Works:
The Modified Fractals Indicator scans the price action on your chart and identifies specific fractal patterns based on the criteria mentioned above for both UpFractals and DownFractals.
Usage:
- Add the Modified Fractals Indicator to your TradingView chart.
- Customize the settings, including the candle count and arrow size, to align with your trading strategy.
- Observe the chart for the appearance of UpFractals and DownFractals as marked by the indicator's arrows.
- Use the signals provided by the indicator to inform your trading decisions, such as potential entry or exit points.
Please note that this Modified Fractals Indicator offers a unique approach to fractal analysis, focusing on specific price patterns that differ from traditional Williams Fractals. It provides traders with an additional tool for identifying potential trend reversals and market opportunities.
Nadaraya-Watson Envelope: Modified by YosietRange Filter indicator based on the LuxAlgo Nadaraya-Watson Envelope () indicator adding the SMA 30 high and SMA 7 low to predict the changes of the trends lines price.
WARNING: This indicator, as the same as the original, repaints the chart and could affect the exact values of the prices.
SMA Low 7 was identified using tensorflowJS years ago as accurate and abstract rsi indicator
SMA High 30 was identified using tensorflowJS years ago as accurate and strong trend line
This two SMAs were added to the original indicator Nadaraya-Watson to predict the exact points where the price will change direction or will re-test the trend to continue on.
The signals will act as the Williams Fractals, replacing the original signals of the indicator.
For those ICT/SMC traders, the bands and SMAs can toggle off in the settings of this indicator.
SETTINGS
Can set the source of the UPPER band indivuadilly
Can set the source of the LOWER band indivuadilly
Can toggle the visibility of the bands, this will not affect the calculations
Can toggle the visibility of SMAs
ALERTS AND SIGNALS
When the SMA LOW 7 cross under or over the bands, will trigger a signal orange
When the SMA 30 High cross over the upper band, will trigger a short signal purpple
HOW TO USE IT
If the both signals appears (sma 7 low and sma 30 high) crossing the upper band at the same point, this means that the price will drop strongly.
If the sma 7 low cross signal (orange triangle) appears under the price and lower band, means that the price will go up.
The separation of the signals from the chart will suggest the force of the movement. While more distance be, strongest reaction of the price.
DISCLAIMER : This indicator or script does not imply or constitute financial advice, investment advice, trading advice or any other type of advice or recommendation by and for TradingView. Use it at your own risk and your own decision.
NQ vs ESThe script shows the spread between the realtime NQ and ES percentage change from the day before, from which it is possible to see if NQ is outperforming or underperforming the ES.
Brake Of Structure (BOS) By GadatasThis indicator is designed to identify and track swing highs and lows in a given market on any timeframe. It plots these swing highs and lows as solid lines on the chart. The indicator allows for customization of the line color and width and using another timeframe.
The indicator follows specific rules to determine when a new high or low is created. If the current range is considered bullish (meaning the most recent breakout was to the topside), the indicator will only update the low if a candle's body falls below the current low. However, if the current range is bearish (most recent breakout to the downside), the indicator will only update the high if a candle's body rises above the current high.
When a range is identified as bullish, the indicator will continue updating the high until a swing high is formed, denoting the high of the range. The high will only change if a candle's body surpasses the previous high. The low, on the other hand, will be updated based on the last time a candle's body falls below a previous candle's low. The lowest low after this condition is met will be assigned as the low of the range.
Conversely, when a range is identified as bearish, the indicator will continue updating the low until a swing low is formed, denoting the low of the range. The low will only change if a candle's body falls below the previous low. The high, in this case, will be updated based on the last time a candle's body rises above a previous candle's high. The highest high after this condition is met will be assigned as the high of the range.
Swing highs are determined by having lower highs to the left and right, while swing lows have higher lows to the left and right. These swings are used to determine the final high or low of a bullish or bearish range, respectively.
Tis Indicator differs from other indicators by incorporating this concept to track market structure. The indicator assumes that significant market players sell before making heavy purchases in bullish ranges and buy before selling heavily in bearish ranges. The lines on the chart represent prior highs and lows, as well as the current updated highs and lows based on this theory. By using this indicator, one can gain insights into the structure of price movement and potentially identify bullish or bearish continuations. It can also provide confluence when analyzing multiple timeframes to validate trend-following strategies.

Sessions by JuezFxLines Plotted at the opening price of London, New York, New York Stock Exchange, and Asia. It could also plot lines of the closing price of the session.
The script is just plotting a line at those levels to give us a visual indicator of those specific levels as they could be very beneficial for your trading. Opening and closing of the session hold the most liquidity, attracting the market towards it.
I hope this script will help you in your trading and you can use those levels along with other confluences in order to identify key levels that the market could react from!
There are some similar scripts but this one have more lines to plot at could be identified by different color and line thickness!
Evolution Fractals with IBA standard fractal high has two lower high (or equal high) candles to its left and right.
For standard fractal low fractals this is vice versa.
-But this indicator plots has the option to plot standard fractals only after candle close is confirmed.
So if the current candle is still forming in live markets, only after this candle has fully closed, then the indicator checks if the fractal is valid and then plotted.
You can select this option On or Off
(with the standard fractal indicator there is a fractal plotted, but when this candle high (or low ) is broken again, the fractal disappears. This re-painting of fractals can cause confusion.
-Added an alert functionality.
When setting an alert on your chart, you can select this indicator to alert you upon the forming of a new fractal high or low.
-Added optional Inside Bar function.
When a candle High/Low does not breach the previous candle High/Low, then a different body color can be shown.
This is particular handy to quickly if this high/low is breached, without having to zoom in on the chart.
@tk · fractal rsi levels█ OVERVIEW
This script is an indicator that helps traders to identify the RSI Levels for multiple fractals wherever the current timeframe is. This script was based on RSI Levels, 20-30 & 70-80 by abdomi indicator, that calculates the Relative Strenght Index levels based on the asset's price and plots it into the chart, creating a "wave" style indicator. The core feature of this indicator is the fractal rays, so trader can visualize each of the oversold and overbought levels of multiple timeframe on the current timeframe that he is on. The indicator will plots multiple rays after the chart bars. indicating where is the oversold and overbought levels for others fractals.
█ MOTIVATION
Since the RSI Levels, 20-30 & 70-80 by abdomi indicator helps a lot to identify the possible price levels when the asset is oversold or overbought, I saw myself drawing multiple horizontal lines on these levels in lower timeframes so, in an uptrend or downtrend, I can try to get a pullback of these trends when the asset reaches oversold or overboght levels. So, I get the idea to make those lines visible in multiple timeframes so I don't need to draw it myself manually anymore.
█ CONCEPT
The trading concept to use this indicator is the concept to make entries on uptrend or downtrend pullbacks when the asset price reaches oversold or overbought levels. But this strategy don't works alone. It needs to be aligned together with others indicators like Exponential Moving Averages, Chart Patterns, Support and Resistance, and so on... Even more confluences that you have, bigger are your chances to increase the probability for a successful trade. So, don't use this indicator alone. Compose a trading strategy and use it to improve your analysis.

90 Minute Cycles + MTFCredit goes to LuxAlgo for the inspiration from 'Sessions' which allowed users to analyse specific price movements within a user defined period with tools such as trendline, mean and vwap.
Settings
Sessions
Enable Session: Allows to enable or disable all associated elements with a specific user set session.
Session Time: Opening and closing times of the user set session in the hh:mm format.
Range: Highlights the associated session range on the chart.
Ranges Settings
Range Area colour: Set each range to a specific colour.
Range Label: Shows the session label at the mid-point of the session interval.
Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Enjoy!

Digital Root 9 Time HighlightsTitle: Digital Root 9 Indicator
Description: The Digital Root 9 Indicator is a custom TradingView tool that identifies all times in which the digital root of the current time is 9. The digital root is calculated by summing the digits of the current time and then continuing to sum the resulting digits until a single digit is obtained. For instance, the time 3:33 has a digital root of 9 because 3+3+3=9.
What sets the Digital Root 9 Indicator apart from other TradingView indicators is its focus on identifying times with a numerological significance. It is particularly useful for traders who incorporate numerology into their trading strategies and are looking for a tool that highlights these significant times.
To use the Digital Root 9 Indicator, simply add it to your TradingView chart. The indicator will highlight all times when the digital root of the current time is 9, allowing you to see at a glance which times have numerological significance. You can customize the indicator's color scheme and other settings to suit your preferences.
The Digital Root 9 Indicator is intended to help traders identify times when the potential for luck and prosperity is heightened according to numerology. However, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. It is important to conduct thorough analysis and risk management before making any trades.
The Digital Root 9 Indicator is suitable for use in any market condition and time frame.
FRAMA and Candlestick Patterns [CSM]FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average) is a technical analysis indicator that adapts its smoothing period according to the market's volatility, allowing it to provide accurate signals in all market conditions. This indicator script plots the FRAMA on a chart and generates buy and sell signals based on the FRAMA and candlestick patterns. It also includes an option to filter signals based on bullish and bearish engulfing patterns.
To detect candlestick patterns, the script imports the "BankNifty_CSM" library from the creator's public library on TradingView. The FRAMA calculation is done using a loop that iterates over the last "length" number of bars, with the smoothing factor adjusted based on the "fracDim" parameter.
The buy and sell signals are generated based on the position of the current price relative to the FRAMA line. If the "engulfing" parameter is set to true, the signals are further filtered based on bullish and bearish engulfing patterns.
Overall, this script combines various technical indicators and candlestick pattern recognition to provide a complete trading strategy. However, as with any trading strategy, it should be thoroughly backtested and evaluated before using it in a live trading environment.
Fractals PivotsWhich trader does not know pivots? There are a lot of varieties of pivots indicators of which some are a default on most trading platforms. So what better way to challenge yourself then to create your own kind of pivots. Let's welcome the idea of Fractal Pivots.
Williams Fractal or fractals is a technical analysis indicator introduced by the famous trader Bill Williams in his book ‘Trading Chaos’. He developed it on the basis of the Chaos Theory and trading psychology. The indicator is centred around the idea that there is repetition in price behaviour and fractals can provide an insight into those repetitive patterns.
How does the indicator turn these into pivot lines?
The user will set a time period in which the script will look for fractals. It will then remember all the fractals that happen during that time period.
Let's say you are trading the hourly chart with a weekly pivot setting like in the chart this script is published on. The script will highling the 1h fractals that are happening. Then the next week it will use these exact fractals from previous week to draw the pivot lines.
Another example here is an 8h chart. Look how it uses the previous week fractals this week.
Let me know if you find a very great fractal length+timeframe setting where the levels really get respected. I would really appreciate that.
Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

[-_-] 2D FractalsThe sole purpose of this script is to demonstrate what's possible to make with Pinescript, namely to display images (2D Fractals in this case).
The script consists of two functions: one that generates the values of a fractal and one that displays them (utilising table) with each cell being used as a "pixel". We can control the "resolution" of image, as well as choose one of three fractal types.
Trading BehnamI've read around here various definitions for engulfs along the lines of "an engulf consumes all orders at a level to allow price to easily pass through it." . That doesn't make much sense to me, if the guys with billions of dollars want to break a level, they will break it and price will run off very often. We've seen it time and time again, they don't need to engulf levels to give us a nice opportunity to get into the trade with them, if they want to blast through a level, they will do so and price will run off. If they want an opportunity to accumulate more orders before price runs away, then it doesn't make sense to engulf the level, better to let price bounce from that level and then fill more orders, if the level breaks then they have to deliberately stop the market running away and move it back to the pre-engulf area as the market momentum would naturally make it run off after an engulf. Other ideas about it being a secret signal between the institutions don't make sense to me either. To be honest, I think any secret signals between competing institutions come in the form of them in a heavily encrypted chatroom telling each other what to do. This collusion has been reported on previously as traders align their activities at important moments.
So I think we can all agree something along the lines of:
Fakeout:
Fakeout is an engulf of an obvious swing high/low in order to stop out traders and induce breakout traders to trade in the wrong direction, thus generating liquidity for the move in the opposite direction.
What's not so clear is the definition of the engulf, I'd like to try to give some ideas on the purpose of the engulf and it's definition and see what others think.
Engulf:
An engulf is the consumption of orders at an important level, not necessarily a swing/high low but an area where we expect to see supply or demand. Taking out of the orders tells us that the supply or demand which was or should have been present is now not present and tells us the intent direction of the market. If price runs off as is often the case, this is not tradeable and is effectively just a "breakout", although breakouts are usually considered to be breaks of swing high and lows which are obvious to the average trader. For an engulf to be tradeable there must be a retrace following the engulf back in the original direction. This adds confusion as it initially resembles a fakeout. So the question is, why does price retrace after the engulf? If an engulf to the short side is a genuine engulf and not a fakeout to generate long liquidity, why does it not travel immediately south if market momentum is ultimately south.
A small pocket of demand beneath the engulfed level may make it retrace north as price moves between areas of liquidity, this pocket of demand may give price enough momentum to make it back up to the supply which broke the demand level if key market participants do not favour an immediate market drop.
Alternatively key market participants may step in and drive the market back upwards.
Price moving north back to supply after the engulf may occur or be favourable for various reasons:
1) We often talk about FO generating liquidity because of breakout trading, but an engulf can also generate liquidity from breakout traders. Short breakout traders would place their stop losses a small distance above the engulf (breakout). If key players absorb this selling or allow a demand level to push price back up, they can run price back up to supply taking out the stops of the breakout short traders and make quick profit and/or generate more liquidity for their own shorts.
2) To confuse traders, the ITs don't want the puzzle that is Forex to be easy to solve, if price never retraced after an engulf then engulfs of all levels would be FOs. Price would either break and immediately runoff or it would turn and runoff in the other direction. In order to keep people confused about whether price is faking out or breaking out, sometimes price should whipsaw by breaking out, briefly faking out and then continuing in the direction of the breakout. This whipsaw pattern is to us a tradeable engulf.
3) Market momentum may be mixed, key players are indecisive or inactive or the market is behaving erratically.
4) As previously mentioned there may be a small pocket of supply/demand just past the engulf which is causing a reaction. This could also be viewed as a FO on a different timeframe. If the market engulfs an H1 demand level, then retraces for 30 mins upwards to supply, this engulf would be a valid and very profitable FO for an M1 trader looking to get long.
Ostinated Adjustable Fractal with AlertThis indicator (Ostinated Adjustable Fractal with Alert) is like the traditional William Fractals. However, it created to overcome two disadvantages of the William Fractals:
1. Set minimum value to 1. This a big advantage over traditional William Fractal that has a minimum value of 2.
2. Alerts: setting alert with the traditional William Fractal is very difficult. We have created this indicator to simplify setting fractal alerts.

Swing Failure PatternThis script will remind you of a potential swing failure pattern (which is a grab for liquidity to go the other direction). You can't use this script on its own, hence the eyes to look for confluences ;-)
Eyes will appear when the current high/low takes out the high/low of the last (by default) 100 highs/lows and will close below/above that last high/low.
Extra settings:
- ignore the last x amount of bars
- choose a character instead of the eyes
- choose a color for the character
Happy trading! ;-)
