Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine [AlgoPoint]Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine
This indicator is a comprehensive market analysis tool designed to identify the "footprints" of Smart Money (institutions, whales) and pinpoint high-probability reaction zones. Instead of relying on lagging averages, this engine analyzes the very structure of the market to find where large players have shown their hand.
How It Works: The Core Logic
The indicator operates on a multi-stage confirmation process to identify and validate Smart Money zones:
Smart Money Detection (The Trigger): The engine first scans the chart for signs of intense, urgent buying or selling. It does this by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) created by large, high-volume Displacement Candles. This is our initial Point of Interest (POI).
Cost Basis Calculation (The Average Price): Once a potential Smart Money move is detected, the indicator calculates the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for that specific move. This gives us a highly accurate estimate of the average price at which the large players entered their positions.
Historical Confirmation (The "Memory"): This is the indicator's most unique feature. It checks its historical database to see if a similar Smart Money move (in the same direction) has occurred in the same price area in the past. If a match is found, the zone's significance is confirmed.
Verified Cost Basis Zone (The Final Output): A zone that passes all the above checks is drawn on the chart as a high-probability Verified Cost Basis Zone. These are the "memory zones" where the market is likely to react upon a re-visit.
How to Use This Indicator
Cost Basis Zones (The Boxes):
Green Boxes: Bullish zones where Smart Money likely accumulated positions. When the price returns here, a BUY reaction is expected.
Red Boxes: Bearish zones where Smart Money likely distributed positions. When the price returns here, a SELL reaction is expected.
Zone Strength (★★★): Each zone is created with a star rating. More stars indicate a higher-confidence zone (based on factors like volume intensity and historical confirmation).
BUY/SELL Signals: A signal is only generated when the price enters a zone AND the confirmation filters (if enabled in the settings) are passed.
Zone Statuses:
Green/Red: Active and waiting to be tested.
Gray: The zone has been tested, and a signal was produced.
Dark Gray (Invalidated): The zone was broken decisively and is no longer considered valid support/resistance.
Key Settings
Signal Accuracy Filters: You can enable/disable three powerful filters to balance signal quantity and quality:
Momentum Confirmation (Stoch): Waits for momentum to align with the zone's direction.
Candlestick Confirmation (Engulfing): Waits for a strong reversal candle inside the zone.
Lower Timeframe MSS Confirmation: The most advanced filter; waits for a trend shift on a lower timeframe before giving a signal.
Historical Confirmation:
Require Historical Confirmation: Toggle the "Memory" feature on/off. Turn it off to see all potential SM zones.
Tolerance Calculation Method: Choose between a dynamic ATR Multiplier (recommended for all-around use) or a fixed Percentage to define the zone size.

B A N K $ - HTF Candle Boxes (Power of 3)This indicator allows you to visualise the HTF candles on the LTF's, this is useful for using the Power of 3 / Accumulation, Manipulation & Distribution concepts.
By default, the HTF interval is set to 1h, this means that an outline will be created around the LTF candles that are within that 1h window. (i.e from 13:00-14:00 etc).
Features
HTF Interval Selector - this allows the user to customise which HTF interval to use
Candle Boxes - this outlines the full outer perimeter of the relevant candles
Include Body - this highlights the distance between the candle Open & Close
Show MidLine
Additional Settings
Hide Side Lines - this will only draw the Top & Bottom lines
Extend Lines to Current Candle - most recent Top & Bottom lines will extend to current price
Draw Lines from Exact Candle - this makes the most recent candle lines cleaner
I personally use this indicator to outline the most recent 3 1h candles to make it easier to identify sweeps & reversals however there is additional functionality to allow the user to customise the indicator to their preference.
Extreme Zone Volume ProfileExtreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP)
Originality & Innovation
The Extreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP) revolutionizes traditional volume profile analysis by applying statistical zone classification to volume distribution. Unlike standard volume profiles that display raw volume data, EZVP segments the price range into statistically meaningful zones based on percentile thresholds, allowing traders to instantly identify where volume concentration suggests strong support/resistance versus areas of potential breakout.
Technical Methodology
Core Algorithm:
Distributes volume across user-defined bins (20-200) over a lookback period
Calculates volume-weighted price levels for each bin
Applies percentile-based zone classification to the price range (not volume ranking)
Zone B (extreme zones): Outer percentile tails representing potential rejection areas
Zone A (significant zones): Secondary percentile bands indicating strong interest levels
Center Zone: Bulk trading range where most price discovery occurs
Mathematical Foundation:
The script uses price-range percentiles rather than volume percentiles. If the total price range is divided into 100%, Zone B captures the extreme price tails (default 2.5% each end ≈ 2 standard deviations), Zone A captures the next significant bands (default 14% each ≈ 1 standard deviation), leaving the center for normal distribution trading.
Key Calculations:
POC (Point of Control): Price level with maximum volume accumulation
Volume-weighted mean price: Total volume × price / total volume
Median price: Geometric center of the price range
Rightward-projected bars: Volume bars extend forward from current time to avoid historical chart clutter
Trading Applications
Zone Interpretation:
Zone B (Red/Green): Extreme price levels where volume suggests strong rejection potential. Price reaching these zones often indicates overextension and possible reversal points.
Zone A (Orange/Teal): Significant support/resistance areas with substantial volume interest. These levels often act as intermediate targets or consolidation zones.
Center (Gray): Fair value area where most trading occurs. Price tends to return to this range during normal market conditions.
Strategic Usage:
Reversal Trading: Look for rejection signals when price enters Zone B areas
Breakout Confirmation: Volume expansion beyond Zone B boundaries suggests genuine breakouts
Support/Resistance: Zone A boundaries often provide reliable entry/exit levels
Mean Reversion: Price tends to gravitate toward the volume-weighted mean and POC lines
Unique Value Proposition
EZVP addresses three key limitations of traditional volume profiles:
Visual Clarity: Standard profiles can be cluttered and difficult to interpret quickly. EZVP's color-coded zones provide instant visual feedback about price significance.
Statistical Framework: Rather than relying on subjective interpretation of volume nodes, EZVP applies objective percentile-based classification, making support/resistance identification more systematic.
Forward-Looking Display: Rightward-projecting bars keep historical price action clean while maintaining current market structure visibility.
Configuration Guide
Lookback Period (10-1000): Controls the historical depth of volume calculation. Shorter periods for intraday scalping, longer for swing trading.
Number of Bins (20-200): Resolution of volume distribution. Higher values provide more granular analysis but may create noise on lower timeframes.
Zone Percentages:
Zone B: Extreme threshold (default 2.5% = ~2σ statistical significance)
Zone A: Significant threshold (default 14% = ~1σ statistical significance)
Visual Controls: Toggle individual elements (POC, median, mean, zone lines) to customize display complexity for your trading style.
Technical Requirements
Pine Script v6 compatible
Maximum bars back: 5000 (ensures sufficient historical data)
Maximum boxes: 500 (supports high-resolution bin counts)
Maximum lines: 50 (accommodates all zone and reference lines)
This indicator synthesizes volume profile theory with statistical zone analysis, providing a quantitative framework for identifying high-probability support/resistance levels based on volume distribution patterns rather than arbitrary price levels.

How to avoid repainting when using security() - viewing optionsHow to avoid repainting when using the security() - Edited PineCoders FAQ with more viewing options
This may be of value to a limited few, but I've introduced a set of Boolean inputs to PineCoders' original script because viewing all the various security lines at once was giving me a brain cramp. I wanted to study each behavior one-by-one. This version (also updated to PineScript v6) will allow users to selectively display each, or any combination, of the security plots. Each plot was updated to include a condition tied to its corresponding input, ensuring it only appears when explicitly enabled. The label-rendering logic only displays when its related plot is active; however, I've also added an input that allows you to remove all labels, enabling you to see the price action more clearly (the labels can sometimes obscure what you want to see). Run this script in replay mode to view the nuanced differences between the 12 methods while selecting/deselecting the desired plots (selecting all at once can be overcrowded and confusing).
All thanks and credit to PineCoders--these changes I made only provide more control over what’s shown on the chart without altering the core structure or intent of the original script. It helped me, so I thought I should share it. If I inadvertently messed something up, please let me know, and I will try to fix it.
I set the defaults for viewing monthly security functions on the daily timeframe. Only the first 2 security functions plot with the default settings, so change the settings as needed. Be sure to read the original notes and detailed explanations in the PineCoders posting "How to avoid repainting when using security() - PineCoders FAQ."
Bottom line, you should use one of the two functions: f_secureSecurity or f_security, depending on what you are trying to do. Hopefully, this script will make it a little easier for the visual learner to understand why (use replay mode or watch live price action on a lower timeframe).
AMD [TakingProphets]Overview
The AMD indicator is a real-time, high-resolution tool designed for traders following ICT methodology who want a clear visualization of higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their lower timeframe charts.
It overlays current HTF structure, including open, high, low, and close projections, allowing traders to align intraday decisions with institutional price delivery — all without switching timeframes.

Muzyorae - RTH Anchored Quarters CyclesRTH Anchored Quarters Cycles — Model Overview
The RTH Anchored Quarters Cycles model is designed to divide the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session of U.S. equities (typically 09:30 – 16:00 New York time) into four structured “quarters” plus a closing marker. It provides a consistent framework for analyzing intraday market behavior by aligning time-based partitions with the actual trading day.
Key Features
Anchored to RTH
The model starts each cycle at 09:30 NY time (the official cash open).
It ignores overnight or extended-hours data, focusing strictly on the RTH session, where the majority of institutional order flow takes place.
After 18:00 NY time, the model still references the same trading date, preventing false signals from session rollovers.
Quarterly Time Blocks
The trading day is split into five reference points:
Q1: 09:30 – 10:00
Q2: 10:00 – 11:30
Q3: 11:30 – 13:30
Q4: 13:30 – 16:00
End: Closing marker at 16:00
Each boundary is drawn as a vertical line on the chart, clearly separating the quarters.
Customization
Users can adjust the start/end times of each quarter.
So if you would like to wish to use ICT timing Macro, intraday, daily and even weekly
The line style, color, and width are configurable (solid/dotted/dashed).
A label is placed at each quarter boundary (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, End) for quick visual reference.
Days Back Control
The model can display the cycles for multiple past trading days (user-defined).
Weekend days are automatically skipped, so “2 days back” means today and the previous trading day.
Why It’s Useful
Intraday Structure: Traders can quickly identify where the market is within the daily RTH cycle.
Consistency: Since the model is anchored to RTH, it avoids confusion caused by overnight Globex activity.
Clarity: Vertical markers and labels provide a clean framework for aligning trade setups, volume analysis, or order flow studies with specific time windows.
Flexibility: The customizable settings allow adaptation across instruments and strategies.
OSOK [AMERICANA] x [TakingProphets]OVERVIEW
OSOK is an ICT-inspired execution framework designed to help traders map the interaction between Higher-Timeframe (HTF) liquidity sweeps, qualifying Order Blocks, and Current-Timeframe (CTF) confirmation signals — all within a single, structured workflow.
By sequencing an HTF CRT → Order Block → CTF CRT model and integrating IPDA 20 equilibrium context, this tool provides traders with a visual framework for aligning intraday execution decisions with higher-timeframe intent. All plotted elements — sweeps, blocks, open prices, and equilibrium levels — update continuously in real time.
Core Concepts (ICT-Based)
Candle Range Transition (CRT) Sweeps
Bullish CRT → The second candle runs below the first candle’s low and closes back inside its range.
Bearish CRT → The second candle runs above the first candle’s high and closes back inside its range.
These patterns are frequently associated with liquidity grabs and potential directional shifts.
HTF → CTF Alignment
-Detects valid HTF CRTs (e.g., Daily CRTs derived from H4 or Weekly CRTs derived from Daily).
-Locates a qualifying Order Block within HTF Candle-2 to identify areas of potential interest.
-Waits for a modified CRT confirmation on the current timeframe before signaling possible directional bias.
IPDA 20 Equilibrium
-Plots the midpoint of the daily highest and lowest prices over the last 20 periods.
-Provides a visual reference for premium and discount pricing zones.
How OSOK Works
Step 1 — HTF CRT Check
On each new HTF candle, the script scans for a clean CRT formation on the higher aggregation (e.g., H4 → D or D → W).
If found, it tags the candles as C1, C2, and C3 and optionally shades their backgrounds for clear visual parsing.
Step 2 — HTF Order Block Identification
Searches within HTF Candle-2 for a qualifying Order Block using a compact pattern filter.
Draws a persistent OB level with clear labeling for context.
Step 3 — CTF Confirmation (Modified CRT)
Monitors your current chart timeframe for a modified CRT in alignment with the HTF setup:
For bullish setups → waits for a bullish modified CRT and close above C1’s high zone.
For bearish setups → expects a bearish modified CRT and close below C1’s low zone.
Step 4 — Real-Time Maintenance
All labels, lines, and background spans update intrabar.
If the setup invalidates — for example, if implied targets are exceeded before entry — the layout resets and waits for the next valid sequence.
KEY FEATURES
HTF CRT Visualization
-Optional “×” markers on Daily/Weekly CRT sweeps.
-Independent background shading for C1, C2, and C3.
Order Block + Open Price Context
-Draws HTF Order Block levels and plots C3 Open Price (DOP) for additional directional reference.
CTF CRT Execution Cue
-Displays a modified CRT on your current timeframe when conditions align with the HTF narrative.
IPDA 20 Line + Label
-Plots a dynamic midpoint level with an optional label for quick premium/discount context.
Optimized Drawing Engine
-Lightweight, efficient use of chart objects ensures smooth performance without visual clutter.
INPUTS
-Higher Timeframe Settings
-Toggle markers for Daily/Weekly CRT sweeps.
-Enable and color C1, C2, and C3 background spans.
-IPDA Display Options
-Control visibility, color, and line style for IPDA 20 equilibrium levels.
-Sweep, OB, and Open Price Styles
-Per-element customization for colors, widths, and labels.
BEST PRACTICES
Start on H4 or Daily to identify valid HTF CRT formations.
Confirm a qualifying OB inside Candle-2.
Drop to your execution timeframe and wait for the modified CTF CRT confirmation before acting.
Use IPDA 20 equilibrium as a reference for premium vs. discount zones.
Combine with your ICT session bias and overall market context for optimal decision-making.
Important Notes
OSOK is not a buy/sell signal provider. It’s a visual framework for understanding ICT-based execution models.
All objects reset automatically when new HTF candles form or setups invalidate.
Works on any symbol and timeframe by default, with HTF mapping set to H4 → D and D → W.
Hourly Range Dashboard (2.0)This dashboard displays each hourly candles range, High minus Low based on an adjustable Look Back in Days. This clearly shows the most active times/hour of day and range of an instrument and the specific hour(s) that its volatility is low during a 24-hour trading session and the hours that the volatility is high. This can help to focus your trading hours based on the most active/volatility.
HTF Candles [TakingProphets]OVERVIEW
The High Time Frame Candles indicator helps traders align their lower-timeframe executions with institutional context by projecting higher-timeframe (HTF) structure directly onto their charts. Designed for traders using ICT-inspired concepts, this tool integrates multi-timeframe candle visualization, real-time SMT divergence detection, and dynamic Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) projections into a single customizable framework.

Prophet Model [TakingProphets]OVERVIEW
The Prophet Model is a structured, logic-driven indicator designed for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies. It integrates multiple ICT concepts into a single, cohesive framework, giving traders a clear visual representation of institutional price delivery while minimizing chart clutter.
This tool does not provide buy/sell signals — instead, it enhances your workflow by automating the identification of key ICT-based criteria used to confirm high-probability trade setups.
WHAT THE INDICATOR DOES
The Prophet Model consolidates several advanced ICT concepts into a streamlined, real-time decision-support system:
Higher Timeframe PD Array Identification
-Automatically scans higher timeframes to locate unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and plots them on your lower timeframe charts, helping traders align with institutional price delivery.
Candle Range Theory (CRT) Validation
-Monitors higher timeframe candles to confirm directional bias using ICT’s Candle Range Theory, providing insight into delivery shifts without needing to change timeframes.
Liquidity Sweep Detection
-Identifies where price has taken buy-side or sell-side liquidity and highlights these zones visually to help traders anticipate potential reversals or continuations.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
-Detects moments of significant displacement that indicate structural shifts in price delivery, marking key opportunities for entry confirmation.
Enhanced Entry Precision (EPE)
-Automatically refines entry points by detecting overlapping internal FVGs within the displacement candle structure, improving execution accuracy.
Dynamic Risk Management Levels
-Plots Stop Loss (SL), Break-Even (BE), and Take Profit (TP) levels based on real structural movements — not fixed pip distances — giving traders clarity on risk exposure.
Real-Time Setup Checklist
-A built-in checklist confirms when all ICT-based confluence factors (HTF PDAs, CRT validation, liquidity sweep, CISD) align, helping traders maintain discipline.
HOW IT WORKS
Scan Higher Timeframes
-The indicator automatically identifies and marks institutional areas of interest like FVGs and PD Arrays from higher timeframes.
Confirm Market Bias
-Uses CRT analysis to validate directional conviction based on higher timeframe candle behavior.
Track Liquidity & Displacement
-Highlights liquidity sweeps and displacement candles, providing insight into when price is likely to expand, reverse, or redistribute.
Refine Entry Points
-Adjusts potential entry levels dynamically when internal imbalances overlap within CISD structures.
Visual Risk Management
-Automatically calculates realistic TP/SL levels based on the actual range of price delivery.
WHY ITS WORTH USING
Consolidates Multiple ICT Concepts
-Instead of relying on multiple scripts, the Prophet Model integrates FVGs, CRT, liquidity sweeps, and CISD detection into one cohesive tool.
Improves Efficiency
-Traders can analyze HTF and LTF confluence visually without switching charts or manually plotting levels.
Keeps Execution Disciplined
-The real-time checklist prevents overtrading by confirming only the setups that meet predefined ICT criteria.
Adaptable to Different Styles
-Whether you’re scalping, day trading, or swing trading, the model adapts to various timeframes and trading approaches.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator is intended for traders with a working understanding of ICT methodology.
It does not generate standalone trading signals — users must incorporate narrative analysis and risk management.
Past performance of any ICT concept does not guarantee future results.
CRT [TakingProphets]Overview
The CRT (Candle Range Theory) indicator is a real-time ICT-inspired tool designed for traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles, detect Candle Range Transitions (CRTs), and identify Smart Money Divergence (SMT) without switching charts.
By combining HTF bias, CRT structure, and SMT divergence, this indicator helps traders organize price action across multiple timeframes while maintaining a clear visual map on their active chart.
Concept & Background
Candle Range Theory stems from ICT methodology, focusing on how institutional price delivery leaves footprints when a three-candle sequence forms..
A Bearish CRT occurs when price attempts to continue higher but fails, creating a higher high with a lower close.
A Bullish CRT occurs when price attempts to continue lower but fails, creating a lower low with a higher close.
These moments can highlight areas where liquidity has been manipulated and where institutional flows may shift. This indicator automates the detection of these CRT patterns and integrates them with SMT divergence to enhance context and decision-making.
How It Works
HTF Candle Visualization
Overlay candles from any timeframe (1m to 1M) directly on your chart.
Displays the three most recent HTF candles with full body/wick precision.
CRT Detection
-Identifies potential bullish and bearish CRT formations based on how the middle candle behaves relative to the prior range.
-Marks these visually to help traders spot potential traps or reversal points.
SMT Divergence Integration
-Compares price action against a correlated asset (e.g., NQ vs ES, EURUSD vs GBPUSD).
-Highlights divergences between instruments, which can confirm potential CRT signals or invalidate false setups.
Real-Time Candle Projections
-Projects the current HTF candle’s open, high, low, and close dynamically throughout the session.
-These levels often act as reference points for bias, support/resistance, or target planning.
Custom Display Engine
-Full control over candle widths, label sizes, colors, and transparency.
-Optional Info Box shows the asset, timeframe, and date for quick reference.
SMT Divergence Lines & Alerts
-Automatically draws labeled lines (“BULLISH SMT” or “BEARISH SMT”) when divergence is detected.
-Includes dedicated alerts for SMT and CRT formations so you never miss a key setup.
How to Use It
Select Higher Timeframes
-Configure any timeframe overlays to add context to your lower-timeframe execution chart.
Monitor CRT Formations
-Watch for bullish or bearish CRT patterns that indicate failed continuations.
Use SMT Divergence for Confluence
-Compare behavior across correlated assets to validate or filter setups.
Plan Entries & Targets
-Use the projected HTF levels or CRT boundaries to define decision zones within your trading model.
Why It’s Useful
The CRT indicator doesn’t provide buy/sell signals or promise accuracy. Instead, it organizes institutional price action concepts into a visual, easy-to-interpret framework:
-Helps traders understand HTF context while operating intraday.
-Automates the identification of CRT traps and SMT divergences.
-Enhances decision-making by combining multiple ICT-inspired concepts in one place.
Replay time-fix last candleReplay indicator to avoid showing the fully closed last candle on higher timeframes.
This indicator displays the last candle up to the current point of the replay instead of the full candle.
For example, if you are on a 4H chart at the 1:00 candle and the replay is at 2:00, it will show the last candle from 1:00 → 2:00 only.
Important: To see the correct candles, go to your chart settings and untick the checkboxes for: "Body", "Borders", "Wick", and "Last price line".
Quick Overview - 5mInspired by Option Stalker Pro, it shows RS/RW on 15m and 30m.

Gold Scalping Trend Strategy [Optimized] ANT1 GOLD🟡 Gold Scalping Trend Strategy – Explained
This is a short-term scalping strategy designed for XAU/USD (gold), but it can also be applied to other volatile instruments.
It combines trend detection (moving averages + ATR filter) with scalping take-profit levels and a safety stop-loss.
The goal is to ride small but high-probability moves in the direction of the intraday trend while protecting capital.

Pegasus – SMT Divergence (Hybrid: Sync/Async NQ Optimized)This script automatically identifies Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between two selected symbols (e.g., NQ & ES) and marks them visually on the chart.
Key Features:
Hybrid detection: supports both synchronous and asynchronous divergences
Multi-market support: optimized for NASDAQ (NQ) and S&P500 (ES), but also applicable to Forex, Crypto, and other markets
Visual controls: optional display or hiding of divergence lines, labels, and primary pivot links
Precise signal logic: detection of equal highs and equal lows with subsequent confirmation through SMT divergence
Specifically designed for intraday futures trading
Use Case:
The tool supports traders in analyzing SMT divergences as confluence for their strategies.
Disclaimer:
This script is not an automated trading system but is intended solely for analysis and decision support.
