Institutional Order Flow StrategyLa strategia implementata è denominata "Institutional Order Flow Strategy" e si basa sull'identificazione di Order Blocks e su specifiche condizioni di ingresso e uscita per le posizioni long e short. L'idea è di identificare i livelli dove operano i bot degli istituzionali, poi attraverso degli obbiettivi di profitto individuali, piazzare tre livelli di profitto atteso.
Ecco una spiegazione dettagliata delle varie sezioni del codice:
1. Impostazioni di Input
Input Session: Imposta una sessione di trading dalle 09:30 alle 16:00.
Lookback Period: Periodo di osservazione di 20 barre per identificare gli order blocks.
Target Percentuali: Tre obiettivi di profitto (Target 1, Target 2, Target 3) espressi in percentuale rispetto al prezzo medio di ingresso.
2. Identificazione degli Order Blocks
Il codice calcola i massimi e minimi più alti e più bassi nel periodo di lookback specificato:
Order Block Buy: Viene identificato come il massimo più alto quando la barra precedente è bearish (chiusura < apertura) e la barra corrente è bullish (chiusura > apertura).
Order Block Sell: Viene identificato come il minimo più basso quando la barra precedente è bullish e la barra corrente è bearish.
3. Logica di Ingresso
In Session: Verifica se il tempo attuale è all'interno della sessione di trading specificata.
Condizioni di Ingresso Long e Short:
Long: La chiusura deve essere superiore all'order block di acquisto e deve essere all'interno della sessione.
Short: La chiusura deve essere inferiore all'order block di vendita e deve essere all'interno della sessione.
4. Entrate nella Strategia
Se le condizioni di ingresso sono soddisfatte, vengono aperte posizioni long o short:
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long) per le posizioni long.
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short) per le posizioni short.
5. Calcolo degli Obiettivi per Scalare le Uscite
Per ogni posizione aperta, vengono calcolati tre obiettivi di prezzo per il take profit, basati sul prezzo medio di ingresso:
Long Targets: Calcolati aggiungendo le percentuali specificate al prezzo medio di ingresso.
Short Targets: Calcolati sottraendo le percentuali specificate dal prezzo medio di ingresso.
6. Logica di Uscita con Scalabilità
Quando ci sono posizioni aperte, vengono impostate le uscite:
Per le posizioni long, si esce dal 50% della posizione al Target 1, il 30% al Target 2 e il 20% al Target 3.
Per le posizioni short, la logica è simile, ma si esce a target di prezzo calcolati in senso inverso.
7. Visualizzazione degli Order Blocks
Infine, il codice visualizza gli order blocks sul grafico:
L'order block di acquisto viene tracciato in verde.
L'order block di vendita viene tracciato in rosso.
Conclusione
In sintesi, questa strategia di trading cerca di sfruttare i movimenti di mercato basati sugli order blocks, impostando condizioni di ingresso e uscita chiare, insieme a obiettivi di profitto scalabili.

Institutional Activity Index [AlgoAlpha]🌟 Introducing the Institutional Activity Index by AlgoAlpha 🌟
Welcome to a powerful new indicator designed to gauge institutional trading activity! This cutting-edge tool combines volume analysis with price movement to derive a unique index that shines a spotlight on potential institutional moves in the market. 🎯📈
Key Features:
🔍 Normalization Period : Adjust the look-back period for normalization to tailor the sensitivity to your trading strategy.
📊 Moving Average Types : Choose from SMA, HMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, or VWMA to smooth the index and pinpoint trends.
🌈 Color-Coded Trends : Instant visual feedback on index trend direction with customizable up and down colors.
🔔 Alerts : Set alerts for when the index shows increasing activity, decreasing activity, or has reached a peak.
Quick Guide to Using the Institutional Activity Index:
1. 📝 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites. Adjust the normalization period, MA type, and peak detection settings to match your trading style.
2. 📈 Market Analysis: Similar to volume that reflects the amount of collective trading activity, this index reflects an estimate of the amount of trading activity by institutions. A higher value means that institutions are trading the asset more, this can mean selling or buying as the indicator does not indicate direction . Look out for peak signals, which may indicate that institutions have already secured positions in preparation for a move in price.
3. 🔔 Set Alerts: Enable alerts to notify you when there is a significant change in the activity levels or a new peak is detected, allowing for timely decisions without constant monitoring.
How It Works: 🛠
It is common knowledge that institutions trade with high amounts of capital, but employ tactics so as to not move the price significantly when entering on positions. This can be done by entering in times of high liquidity so that when an institution buys, there are enough sellers to cancel out the price movements and prevent a huge pump in price and vice versa. The Institutional Activity Index calculates liquidity by measuring the volume relative to the price range (close-open). This value is smoothed using median and a user defined moving average type and period, enhancing its clarity. If normalization is enabled, the index is adjusted relative to its range over a user-defined period, making the data comparable across different conditions.

Smart Money Interest Index [AlgoAlpha]🌟 Smart Money Interest Index by AlgoAlpha 🌟
Welcome to the innovative Smart Money Interest Index indicator, designed meticulously by AlgoAlpha to revolutionize the way you trade! 📈🧠 This indicator is engineered to decipher the activities of smart money investors relative to the less informed (dumb money) and dynamically display their dominance in the trading landscape through a sophisticated visual index. 🚀💹
🔑 Key Features:
- Smart vs. Dumb Money Analysis: Tracks and compares the movements of smart money (informed investors) and dumb money (general public) within the market to identify potential investment signals.
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) Based Ratios: Utilizes RSI for both smart and dumb money to create a ratio that indicates buying or selling pressures.
- Dynamic Normalization: Employs a long-term peak normalization over a customizable period to ensure the index remains relevant regardless of market conditions.
- Visual Thresholds and Signals: Highlights significant shifts in market dynamics with color-coded thresholds, making it easier to spot changes at a glance.
🛠 How to Use the Smart Money Interest Index:
🔹 🚀 Step 1: Adding the Indicator
- Add the indicator to your favourites.
- Customize the settings according to your analysis needs:
- `Index Period`, `Volume Flow Period`, `Normalization Period`, `High Interest Threshold`
🔹 📊 Step 2: Interpretation of the Index
- Monitor the index plot; a rising index suggests increasing smart money interest, potentially indicating a buying opportunity.
- A value above the high interest threshold (in yellow) highlights significant interest by smart money, suggesting a good time to buy.
🔹 🔔 Step 3: Setting Alerts
- Configure alerts to notify you when the index crosses above the set threshold, enabling you to capitalize on trading opportunities timely and efficiently.
📐 Basic Logic Overview:
The Smart Money Interest Index by AlgoAlpha provides a unique metric that contrasts the investment behaviors of informed (smart money) and general (dumb money) investors. Utilizing the Relative Strength Index (RSI), this indicator evaluates the trading pressure exerted by both groups over specified periods, then forms a ratio of these activities to identify dominance in buying or selling trends. For example, when we see dumb money selling and smart buying, this suggests that the conditions for buying the asset is optimal as smart money is willing to buy the dip. The outputs are normalized against the highest values observed in a user-defined term to maintain consistency through varying market conditions. When the index exceeds a certain threshold, it suggests that smart money presence is particularly strong, possibly indicating that smart money is looking to enter positions on the asset. This tool serves as a sophisticated visual guide to understanding market dynamics and making well-informed trading decisions based on the activities of market-savvy investors. Smart money activity is identified during areas of low volume and the opposite for dumb money, the indicator uses the NVI and PVI metrics as its foundation for smart and dumb money analysis.
📊 Enhance Your Trading Strategy:
Leverage the Smart Money Interest Index to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and enhance your decision-making process with a powerful, data-driven approach. Whether you're looking to identify entry points or set strategic exits, this tool is designed to provide you with the competitive edge you need in the fast-paced world of trading. 🌐✨

Inner Circle Trader Institutional ORDER BLOCKS FOREX Theory
Today we are talking about the infamous ORDER BLOCKS by ICT forex trading Strategy. Order Blocks have proven to be a very effective tool in trading as they allow traders to gain high reward with low risk trades.
What is an Order Block? - The Order Block is a specific price range or candle where institutions will be buying or selling against the retail trend/dump money.
Institutions leave order blocks for themselves to trade at a later stage. They will reverse the price to a previous order and then driving the price hard in the direction of the trend (The real institutional trend).
These order blocks we can also call them specific levels of either going Long or Short. If an order block is violated or broken, it now qualifies as a Breaker, meaning Price will retest back to that order block. Sometimes we call it a failed order block.
Types of OBs:
i. Bullish Order Block (BUB)
ii. Bearish Order Block (BEB)

SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!
