LHAMA MTF Structure & Fibs [LTS]Overview
LHAMA MTF Structure & Fibs is a multi-purpose market structure toolkit that combines current-timeframe structure, higher-timeframe structure, Imbalance/FVG-based order blocks, and automatic Fibonacci retracements into a single chart overlay.
Current-Timeframe Structure
The indicator first maps current-timeframe market structure using swing highs and lows based on a user-defined pivot length (“Time-Horizon”):
Labels swing points as HH , HL , LH , and LL .
Draws BOS (Break of Structure) when price breaks beyond a prior swing.
Optionally identifies CHoCH (Change of Character) when a break occurs against the previous direction.
Lets you choose whether BOS/CHoCH confirmation uses closes or wicks .
Provides options to show/hide swing labels, choose line style (solid/dashed/dotted), and configure bullish/bearish colors.
Higher-Timeframe (HTF) Structure
On top of the local structure, the script builds a higher-timeframe structure map and projects it onto your active chart:
Aggregates price into HTF “bars” (e.g., 4h structure on a 5m chart).
Detects HTF pivots with their own pivot length setting.
Draws HTF BOS/CHoCH lines and labels back on the lower timeframe.
Lets you choose wick vs close confirmation for HTF breaks.
Optional “ pending ” HTF levels: lines extended from the latest HTF swing highs/lows that remain “waiting” until price breaks them.
This is designed to make it easier to see how intraday price is moving relative to the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
Order Blocks (Imbalance/FVG-Based)
The indicator detects simple bullish and bearish order blocks based on fair value gaps and prior sweeps:
Identifies bullish/bearish FVGs together with a sweep of a previous low/high.
Creates colored boxes anchored to an “anchor” candle and extends them forward.
Marks boxes as “broken” when price trades inside or through the opposite side.
Broken blocks can have reduced emphasis (more transparent, dashed border) and can optionally be deleted.
Show Nearest Only mode highlights only the closest active bullish and bearish blocks to reduce chart clutter.
Periodic cleanup removes very old boxes to maintain chart responsiveness.
Automatic Fibonacci Levels
The script can draw up to five customizable Fibonacci retracement levels using the HTF structure logic:
Measures swings using HTF pivots and extremes.
Historical mode : measures between two confirmed pivots in one direction.
Live mode : starts from the last confirmed pivot and tracks the evolving extreme; if price reverses through that pivot, measurement can flip to track the new leg.
Each Fib level has its own on/off toggle, ratio value, and color.
Draws a main swing line plus retracement lines projected slightly into the future.
Key Inputs & Customization
Market Structure (Current TF)
Pivot length (“Time-Horizon”).
BOS confirmation: candle close or wicks.
BOS/CHoCH line style and width.
Swing labels on/off and global label size.

HTF PO3 [Motoneiron]📌 HTF PO3
This indicator plots Higher Timeframe candles directly on a Lower Timeframe chart, allowing traders to clearly observe HTF structure while analyzing execution on LTF.
It provides a deeper understanding of PO3, AMD (Accumulation–Manipulation–Distribution) and HTF→LTF fractal behavior — all without switching charts.
HTF candles include:
Open
Close
High & Low extremes
Real-time remaining time until HTF candle close
You can display from 1 to 10 HTF candles simultaneously, both in automatic mode (where the indicator selects the correct HTF based on your LTF) and manual mode (you pick any HTF you want).
🕒 Automatic HTF Selection (Built-in Timeframe Mapping)
In Automatic Mode the script chooses the appropriate HTF based on the current chart timeframe using the following pairs:
1m → 5m
3m → 15m
5m → 30m
15m → 1H
30m → 2H
45m → 3H
1H → 4H
2H → 6H
3H → 12H
4H → 1D
6H → 1D
12H → 1W
Manual mode allows overriding this mapping and selecting any HTF you prefer.
✨ What this indicator helps you see
Thanks to precise rendering and optional offset, you can easily observe:
HTF Open levels (key ICT reference points)
Extremes forming inside the active HTF candle
Internal AMD structure building inside HTF
Intra-HTF PO3 development
How price behaves around significant HTF zones
This deepens your understanding of market structure, premium/discount arrays, and PO3 mechanics while staying on the lower timeframe.
⚙️ Key Features
Plot 1–10 HTF candles on any LTF
Automatic HTF mapping or fully manual selection
Customizable colors (body/wick)
Adjust candle width, horizontal offset
Time labels: weekday, date, time, month (depends on HTF)
Real-time countdown until HTF close
Optional shifting of labels & candles for visual clarity
Designed for PO3, AMD, ICT concepts, HTF structure breakdowns
Institutional Dominance/Trapped Trader Profile @MaxMaserati 3.0📊 Institutional Dominance & Trapped Trader Delta Profile
@MaxMaserati 3.0
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OVERVIEW
The IDT Auction Profile is a professional-grade volume order flow analysis tool that reveals where institutional traders hold Positional Advantage and where retail participants are Trapped. Unlike traditional Volume Profile indicators, the IDT Profile integrates Volume Point Delta (VPD) analysis with advanced pattern recognition to identify the exact price levels where profitable institutional positions create support/resistance, and where losing positions are forced to exit.
This indicator answers the critical questions: Who is in profit? Who is trapped? And where will they defend or exit their positions?
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✨ FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚡ Quick Presets - One-click configuration for:
• Scalper (1m-5m): 75 bars, 50 rows, ★3 confluence
• Day Trader (15m-1h): 150 bars, 60 rows, ★3 confluence
• Swing Trader (4h-D): 300 bars, 80 rows, ★4 confluence
🔔 Price Alerts - Get notified when price touches:
• VAH (Value Area High) - Resistance zone
• VAL (Value Area Low) - Support zone
• Adjustable sensitivity (0.05% - 1.0%)
📏 POC Line Extensions - Historical context lines extending left from key institutional levels
👻 Previous Session POCs - Dotted reference lines showing prior period levels (carry-over zones)
📊 Real-Time Statistics Panel:
• Total Volume
• Net Delta
• Buy/Sell Pressure %
🎨 Visual Enhancements:
• Column dividers for clarity
• Transparency controls
• Profile auto-hide when price moves away
• Cached color schemes for 30% performance boost
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🧠 CORE CONCEPT: DOMINANCE VS TRAPPED POSITIONING
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator categorizes all market participants into two strategic positions based on their entry price relative to current market price:
📍 ABOVE CURRENT PRICE (Resistance Zones)
🔴 Aggressive Sellers in Profit - Sold higher, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟥 Trapped Buyers at Loss - Bought higher, currently losing. Must exit at breakeven, creating resistance.
📍 BELOW CURRENT PRICE (Support Zones)
🟢 Aggressive Buyers in Profit - Bought lower, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟩 Trapped Sellers at Loss - Sold lower, currently losing. Must cover at breakeven, creating support.
⚡ MAXIMUM CONFLUENCE ZONES
When Dominant (Profitable) and Trapped (Loss) positions align at the same level, you get the strongest support/resistance zones:
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Price) = Aggressive Sellers + Trapped Buyers = STRONGEST RESISTANCE
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Price) = Aggressive Buyers + Trapped Sellers = STRONGEST SUPPORT
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 VOLUME ANALYSIS COLUMNS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1️⃣ VPD Column (Volume Point Delta)
Net aggressive pressure at each price level (Buying Volume - Selling Volume)
- Bullish Delta (Green): Buyers dominated the auction at this level
- Bearish Delta (Red): Sellers dominated the auction at this level
- Smart Coloring: Automatically highlights institutional patterns
2️⃣ VPS Column (Volume Point of Sell - ASK Volume)
Aggressive buying volume that "lifted the offer" by hitting ask prices
- Represents participants who paid the ask price to enter long
- When price is below this level = These buyers are in profit
- When price is above this level = These sellers who got hit are in profit
- Shows institutional bid volume absorption
3️⃣ VPB Column (Volume Point of Buy - BID Volume)
Aggressive selling volume that "hit the bid" by taking bid prices
- Represents participants who sold at bid price to enter short
- When price is above this level = These sellers are in profit
- When price is below this level = These buyers who got hit are in profit
- Shows institutional ask volume absorption
4️⃣ SVP Column (Optional - Session Volume Profile)
Traditional combined volume profile without bid/ask separation
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 ADVANCED INSTITUTIONAL PATTERNS DETECTION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses statistical analysis (standard deviation, moving averages, hit counting) to identify institutional footprints:
⚡ Failed Auctions - "BUYERS TRAPPED" or "SELLERS TRAPPED" labels
• High volume entered, but price immediately reversed
• Creates extreme concentrations of losing positions
• Trading Implication: High-probability reversal zones where trapped participants must exit
📈 Volume Spikes - Bright green/red bars in VPD column
• Volume exceeds average by 2+ standard deviations
• Represents aggressive institutional entry
• Trading Implication: Potential trend continuation or setup for failed auction
🛡️ Absorption Zones - Yellow/Orange colored bars
• Large passive orders absorbing aggressive volume without price movement
• Indicates accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish)
• Trading Implication: Institutional positioning before major moves
🧊 Iceberg Orders - Cyan colored bars with high hit counts
• Same price level shows repeated volume without clearing
• Reveals hidden institutional limit orders split into small pieces
• Trading Implication: Strong liquidity magnets, price often returns here
💜 Volume Exhaustion - Purple colored bars
• Sharp volume drop (50%+) after spike
• Momentum exhausted, participants depleted
• Trading Implication: Potential reversal or consolidation ahead
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 SMART INSTITUTIONAL COLORING
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Colors bars based on detected patterns vs simple red/green:
🟨 Yellow = Bullish battles won (buyers + trapped sellers)
🟧 Orange = Bearish battles won (sellers + trapped buyers)
🔵 Cyan = Iceberg orders (hidden liquidity)
🟣 Purple = Large passive orders
🟢 Bright Green = Buying spikes (institutional aggression)
🔴 Bright Red = Selling spikes (institutional aggression)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⭐ CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Each price level receives 1-5 stars based on:
★★ Volume spike presence (+2 stars)
★ Absorption pattern (+1 star)
★ Large passive orders (+1 star)
★ Proximity to Value Area (+1 star)
★★ Iceberg detection (+2 stars)
★★ Failed auction (+2 stars)
Minimum Signal Strength filter lets you show only levels with ★3+ confluence for highest-quality signals.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 VALUE AREA ANALYSIS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VAH (Value Area High) - Blue Line
- Top of the 70% volume acceptance zone
- Price at VAH often rejects downward (resistance)
- Alert triggers when price approaches
VAL (Value Area Low) - Red Line
- Bottom of the 70% volume acceptance zone
- Price at VAL often bounces upward (support)
- Alert triggers when price approaches
Trading Applications:
- Price outside Value Area → Mean reversion opportunity
- Price breaks VA with volume → Trend continuation
- Price oscillates within VA → Range-bound, fade extremes
- Previous session VA lines show carryover levels
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 EXPECTED PRICE BEHAVIOR AT KEY LEVELS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT: These are observed behavioral patterns for educational purposes and backtesting research. Always validate with 250-500+ backtest trades before risking capital.
1️⃣ POC BOX ZONES (Highest Statistical Relevance)
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Current Price - SUPPORT)
Expected Behavior:
- Price approaching from above typically encounters buying pressure
- Both profitable institutional buyers and trapped short sellers create demand
- Common reaction: Price slows, consolidates, or bounces
- Failed bounces often lead to rapid breakdown (trapped buyers capitulate)
What Often Happens:
- Initial dip into zone → Weak bounce attempt
- Second test → Stronger bounce (trapped sellers covering + buyers defending)
- Break below → Quick acceleration as both groups exit
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Current Price - RESISTANCE)
Expected Behavior:
- Price rallying into zone typically encounters selling pressure
- Both profitable institutional sellers and trapped long buyers create supply
- Common reaction: Price stalls, consolidates, or rejects
What Often Happens:
- Initial push into zone → Weak rejection
- Second test → Stronger rejection (trapped buyers exiting + sellers defending)
- Break above → Quick acceleration as resistance becomes support
2️⃣ FAILED AUCTION ZONES
"SELLERS TRAPPED" Labels (Below Price):
- High-volume selling that immediately reversed = maximum trapped shorts
- When price returns, trapped sellers face pressure to cover
- Typical pattern: Price approaches → Initial hesitation → Sharp bounce
"BUYERS TRAPPED" Labels (Above Price):
- High-volume buying that immediately failed = maximum trapped longs
- Price returning forces trapped buyers to exit at breakeven
- Typical pattern: Price approaches → Distribution → Rejection
3️⃣ VALUE AREA DYNAMICS
Price Outside Value Area (VAH/VAL):
- Price beyond 70% volume zone = statistical outlier
- Two outcomes: Mean reversion OR trend continuation
- Key differentiator: Presence of confluence zones
Mean Reversion Pattern (No Strong Confluence):
- Price extends 1-2% beyond VA → Typically reverts toward POC
- Weak volume on extension → Higher probability of reversal
Breakout Pattern (With ★4+ Confluence):
- Price breaks VA with institutional patterns → Often continues
- Strong volume + confluence = New value area forming
4️⃣ ICEBERG ORDER BEHAVIOR
Cyan Bars with High Hit Counts:
- Repeated volume at same level = Large hidden order absorbing
- Price typically "tests" iceberg multiple times before resolution
- Two outcomes: Absorption complete (break) OR rejection (bounce)
5️⃣ VOLUME SPIKE PATTERNS
Bright Green/Red Bars (Institutional Aggression):
- Extreme delta spikes indicate institutional entry
- Trend Continuation Spikes: Spike aligned with trend = Often continues
- Exhaustion Spikes: Spike against trend = Failed auction forming
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

🎯 UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike standard Volume Profile indicators that only show where volume occurred, the IDT Auction Profile:
✅ Separates bid vs ask volume to reveal true order flow
✅ Identifies who is profitable vs who is trapped at each level
✅ Detects institutional patterns (icebergs, absorption, failed auctions)
✅ Calculates confluence scores combining multiple factors
✅ Provides clear POC boxes showing exact institutional positioning
✅ Maps positional advantage rather than just volume density
✅ Alerts you to key level touches in real-time
✅ Shows historical context with POC extensions
✅ Displays live statistics for market conviction
This transforms Volume Profile from a historical volume chart into a strategic positioning map showing institutional dominance and trapped participants.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 HOW TO INTEGRATE WITH YOUR STRATEGY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✅ PROPER USES:
- Entry refinement within your existing setups
- Intelligent stop placement beyond institutional levels
- Objective profit targets at next confluence zones

Student Wyckoff Effort Result Time **STUDENT WYCKOFF Effort vs Result**
This tool measures how *hard* the market is working on every bar and compares the current effort with the previous one. It is built in the spirit of Wyckoff: first we look at the effort (volume), then at the result (price progress), and only after that compare them.
---
### Calculation (logic in simple terms)
For each bar the script:
1. Takes an **ERT window (N bars)** – by default 2 bars:
* **Effort (E)** = sum of volume over the last N bars.
* **Time (T)** = number of bars in the window = N.
* **Result (R)** = absolute % price change from the first bar in the window to the last bar.
2. Computes **ERT** as the “effort per unit of result”:
* More volume and smaller price move → higher ERT (movement is heavy).
* Less volume and bigger price move → lower ERT (movement is easy).
3. Plots a **histogram of ΔERT** – the difference between the current ERT and the previous ERT:
* **Red bar above 0** – current ERT > previous ERT →
*the last N bars were heavier than the previous N bars*.
* **Teal bar below 0** – current ERT < previous ERT →
*the last N bars were easier than the previous N bars*.
4. Optional **normalization window** rescales ΔERT over the last M bars, so extreme spikes do not destroy the readability of the whole histogram. It does not change the logic, only the visual scale.
---
### How to use
* Look for **clusters of high red bars** – segments where price needs noticeably more effort than before to make progress. On up-moves this often appears before slowing, churning or topping; on down-moves it often appears near potential stopping zones.
* Look for **deep teal bars** – segments where price moves easier than before. On rallies this can confirm a strong trend; on declines it can confirm strong selling pressure.
* Divergences between price and the pattern of heavy/light ΔERT can highlight zones where the balance between effort and result is shifting.
Inputs:
* **ERT window (bars)** – how many bars are used to measure effort and result (N).
* **Normalize ΔERT for readability** – on/off for visual normalization.
* **Normalization window (bars)** – how many last bars are used to adapt the scale.
* Colors for “current ERT heavier than previous” and “current ERT lighter than previous”.
Volume Analysis🙏🏻 (signed) Volume Analysis is 2 of 2 structural layer / ordeflow analysis scripts, while the first one is Liquidity Analysis. Both are independent so can’t be released together as a single script, but should be used together.
The same math used in this script can be applied to other types of aggressive volume data: non-aggregated flow of market orders, volume traded of put vs call options.
There’s no universal agreement about terminology, but this script works with volumes signed by the aggressor who initiated a transaction. Then these volumes get aggregated by time and a cumulative sum is calculated. Mostly this is widely known as Cumulative Volume Delta.
However this script works with 'inferred' volumes vs the provided ones. It’s the better choice for equities, bonds; neutral choice for currencies; and suboptimal choice for natural and artificial commodities.
Contents:
Output description;
How to analyze & use the outputs;
How to use it together with Liquidity Analysis script;
How did I use both scripts to finish The Leap profitably and skipped many losses.
1. Output description
Color of the CVD line reflects (signed) volume imbalance state: red is negative, purple is neutral, blue is positive.
3 purple lines are lower deviation (lower band), basis (middle band), upper deviation (upper band): used to generate signals by a ruleset that would be explained in a minute
Gray number in the script’s status line is the advised input you may put into Inferred volume multiplier in script’s setting, I will explain it
Vertical dash line marks the moving window end, this way you can be certain over what exact data you see the profile was built.
2. How to analyze & use the outputs
Setup up the script:
Moving window length: set it to ~ ¼ of your data analysis window. E.g if you see on your charts and use ~ 256 bars, set the length to 64.
Inferred volume multiplier: you can easily leave it 256, this is not a critical factor for the math, it’s mostly there if you want to ~ equate inferred volumes with real ones in scale. For this, use the gray number in the script status line, it’s calculated as ratio of long term real volumes weighted avg to long term inferred volumes weighted avg.
Again, changing the inferred volume multiplier won’t affect the math.
Use 2 timeframes: main one and a far lower one 3 steps down, just like on the screenshot.
Find out current volume imbalance state:
As mentioned before, based on CVD line color, it can be negative, neutral or positive. This is the state variable that changes slowly and denies/confirms the signals generated by crossovers of CVD line and 3 purple thresholds.
For this I use my own very fast and lightweight metric that is totally statistically grounded, utilizes temporal information, and calculates volume imbalance without using heavy math like regressions as it’s usually done. It also provides a natural neutral zone, when volume imbalance is not strong enough to be confirmed.
...
CVD-based signals:
First you need to understand what precisely a touch of a threshold is:
Touch: an event when either of these 2 happens:
One CVD datapoint is above the threshold, and the next CVD datapoint is below the threshold
One CVD datapoint is below the threshold, and the next CVD datapoint is above the threshold
These are usually called crossovers/crossunders.
Now with the 3 purple thresholds we follow this logic:
Monitor the last touched threshold;
Once another threshold is touched, here we may generate a signal but only once !, after the first generated signal at that threshold we can’t generate more signals on this threshold, we need to wait when CVD comes to another threshold.
If CVD touches one threshold, and then goes down and touches another threshold downwards, we wait when CVD makes a datapoint above this threshold. When it happens, we register a long signal
If CVD touches one threshold, and then goes up and touches another threshold upwards, we wait when CVD makes a datapoint below this threshold. When it happens, we register a short signal
However, don’t open new trades against the current volume imbalance state. So don’t open shorts when the CDV line is blue, and don’t open longs when CVD line is red.
Btw, this technique I call it “reclaim” of a level/threshold. It can be applied to horizontal levels, and it’s very powerful especially when you fade levels on very volatility assets like BTC. This technique allows you to Not fade a level straight away, but wait when price goes past the level a bit, and then comes back and reclaims it, only there you enter, and moreover you now have a very well defined risk point.
The last part is multi-timeframe logic. Prefer to act when a lower timeframe is Not against the main timeframe. That’s all, no multiple higher timeframes are needed.
3. How to use it together with Liquidity Analysis script.
That script also has a mean to generate its own signals, and another state variable called Liquidity Imbalance.
So now you’re not only looking at volume imbalance but also at liquidity imbalance that would deny/confirm the CVD based signal. You need at least one of these two to favor your long or short.
This is the same logic widely used in HFT, where MM bots cancel/shift/resize orders when book is too onesided And ordeflow is one sided as well.
4. How did I use both scripts to finish The Leap profitably and skipped many losses.
Even tho you can use structural information as your main strategic layer, as many so-called orderflow traders do, I traded in objective style: my fade signals were volatility based in essence, and I used ordeflow for better entries and stops, but most importantly to skip losses.
When ‘both‘ liquidity imbalance and volume imbalance (in their main timeframes) were against my trades, I skipped them all, saving many ~$500 stop losses (that was my basis risk unit for the Leap). Unless I had a very strong objective signal, i.e. confluence of several signals, or just one higher timeframe signal, I did all these skips.
I traded ~ intraweek timeframe, so I was analyzing either the last 230 30min bars or 1380 5min bars. Both Liquidity Analysis and (signed) Volume Analysis scripts were set to moving window length 46 or 276 for either granularity.
I finished the leap with 9% profit and max DD ~ 5%, a bit short of my goal of 12.5%. If not these 2 scripts I would’ve finished a bit above breakeven I think.
,,,
Another thing, I made these 2 scripts invite-only because they are made particularly for trading, particularly for certain types of market data. These are tools adapted for particular use case, not like my other posts with general math entities like Kernel Density Estimation or Kalman filter, that you can take and apply properly on any data you need yourself.
However these are made from general math entities like everything else. ‘All’ the components are available in my other scripts, ideas, and other sources related to me. If you want to reverse-engineer these, you can find all the components you need in my already posted open source work.

Market Structure Pivots with BOS & CHoCH [zazenio]What is Market Structure?
Market structure is simply the pattern of highs and lows that price creates as it moves. When you look at any chart, you'll notice price doesn't move in a straight line — it swings up, pulls back, swings up again (in an uptrend), or the opposite in a downtrend.
These swing points — the peaks and valleys — are what traders call pivots . Identifying them correctly is the foundation of understanding where a market has been and where it might go next.
What This Indicator Does
Swing Pivots automatically marks these peaks and valleys on your chart so you don't have to draw them manually. It works on any market — stocks, crypto, forex, futures, indices — and on any timeframe.
Beyond just marking pivots, this indicator also draws BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) lines — two essential concepts that help you understand when a trend is continuing or potentially reversing.
How Pivots Are Detected
This indicator confirms pivots based on price structure, not a fixed bar count.
Here's how it works:
A swing high is confirmed when price breaks below the previous swing low. At that moment, we know the high was real — price tried to go higher, failed, and reversed. The market "proved" that level was a genuine turning point.
A swing low is confirmed when price breaks above the previous swing high. The same logic applies — price tried to go lower, failed, and reversed direction.
This creates a natural alternation: high, low, high, low. Each pivot is validated by the market's actual behavior, not by waiting for an arbitrary number of bars to pass.
Understanding BOS and CHoCH
Once you can identify pivots, the next step is understanding what happens when price breaks through them. This is where BOS and CHoCH come in.
BOS (Break of Structure)
A Break of Structure occurs when price continues in the direction of the current trend by breaking a previous pivot level.
In an uptrend : Price breaks above a previous swing high → This signals strength. Buyers are pushing price to new highs, and the trend is likely to continue.
In a downtrend : Price breaks below a previous swing low → This signals weakness. Sellers are pushing price to new lows, and the trend is likely to continue.
Think of BOS as the market saying "the trend is still intact." Each BOS confirms that the dominant side (buyers or sellers) remains in control.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
A Change of Character occurs when price breaks a pivot level in the opposite direction of the current trend. This is an early warning signal that the trend may be reversing.
In an uptrend : Price breaks below a previous swing low → This is unexpected. In a healthy uptrend, lows should hold. When they don't, it suggests buyers are losing control and sellers may be taking over.
In a downtrend : Price breaks above a previous swing high → This is unexpected. In a healthy downtrend, highs should hold. When they don't, it suggests sellers are losing control and buyers may be stepping in.
Think of CHoCH as the market's behavior "changing character" — it's no longer acting the way it should if the trend were healthy.
Why BOS and CHoCH Matter
These concepts give you a framework for reading what the market is actually doing:
BOS tells you the trend is continuing — stay with it or look for entries in that direction
CHoCH warns you the trend may be ending — time to be cautious, take profits, or look for trades in the new direction
By visualizing these breaks directly on your chart, you don't have to guess. You can see at a glance whether the market is trending smoothly (consecutive BOS) or showing signs of reversal (CHoCH).
Why This Approach Works
Most pivot indicators use a "lookback" method — they wait for a certain number of bars (say, 5 or 10) on each side of a candle before confirming it as a pivot. This creates a fixed delay. By the time the pivot appears on your chart, price has already moved on.
This indicator doesn't wait. It confirms pivots the moment price structure proves them. The result is pivots that align with how traders actually read charts — based on breaks of structure, not arbitrary countdowns.

Worstfx Fractal Sessions 🧩 Worstfx Fractal Sessions Public — Features & Purpose
✔️ Includes clean session structure • Simple confluence • Built-in guardrails for your psychology
Worstfx Fractal Sessions Public is a stripped-back, clean version of the full Worstfx framework.
It’s designed to give every trader the core advantages of the fractal system:
• clear session structure
• simple trend/confluence read
• context from Daily ATR
• basic order-flow sentiment
• an on-chart help panel so nobody gets lost
All without overwhelming settings or “indicator soup.”
Use it to see the day as a story: Asia range → London expansion → Pre-NY setup → NY confirmation or reversal.
⸻
⚙️ Main Features
1️⃣ Session Shading (Asia / London / Pre NY / NY)
What it does
• Colors each session with soft, transparent shading:
• Asia – yellow tone
• London – purple tone
• Pre NY – light blue
• NY – light blue (separate time block)
• You can customize the session times and colors.
• Includes a 6:00 pm ET divider line to mark the start of a new “trading day” in your framework.
Why it matters (psychology)
• Your brain stops seeing random candles and starts seeing chapters:
• Asia = range / setup
• London = expansion / fakeouts
• NY = continuation / reversal
• This reduces FOMO and impulsive entries because you naturally ask:
“Which session am I in?”
“What is this session supposed to be doing?”
• The 6pm divider helps you mentally reset each day instead of carrying emotional baggage from yesterday into today.
⸻
2️⃣ Time-Frame Confluence Panel (Weekly → 15m)
What it does
• Checks a simple model on multiple timeframes (W, D, 4H, 1H, 15m):
• Above or below the 50 EMA
• RSI above or below 50
• Converts that into a 0–100% confluence score per TF.
• Gives a %TOTAL score that blends all TFs into a single number.
• Two display modes:
• Strip — horizontal bar with W/D/4H/1H/15m + %TOTAL
• Table — vertical list showing bull% / bear% per TF
• Mobile mode shrinks everything for smaller screens.
Why it matters (psychology)
• Instead of arguing with yourself about “trend,” you get a simple question:
“Are the higher timeframes mostly aligned or mixed?”
• Green/high %TOTAL = “permission” to press your bias, not to over-trade.
• Red/low %TOTAL = natural brake: “This is not the clean trend day. Size down or stay out.”
• It pulls you away from 1-minute tunnel vision and forces you to respect bigger structure.
⸻
3️⃣ Daily ATR Panel (Last 4–12 days + Forecast)
What it does
• Tracks true daily range (High–Low) over recent days.
• Shows:
• Last few days’ range in ticks and $
• Optional 4-day average forecast (projected typical daily move)
• Option to show just last 4 days, or full 12-day history.
• Two modes:
• Table – labeled rows with “ticks / $” columns
• Macro – compact text summary like “FC: 2000t | $20.00”
Why it matters (psychology)
• You stop expecting 5000-tick moves on a 600-tick average day.
• When the forecast is small, you naturally:
• avoid chasing huge targets
• respect partials
• recognize “maybe today just isn’t the big runner”
• On big ATR days, you recognize that volatility is here, so:
• you give your targets breathing room
• you’re less likely to panic when price swings
• This keeps your expectations in line with reality, which reduces tilt, frustration, and revenge trades.
⸻
4️⃣ Order-Flow Sentiment Panel (Compact OF Read)
What it does
• Estimates buy vs sell volume on the current and previous candles.
• Shows:
• Sentiment row with Buy% / Sell%
• Buy/Sell volumes (with “k/m” formatting if enabled)
• Optional extra rows for prior candles.
• Highlights imbalances when one side hits your imbalance threshold (e.g., 70%).
Why it matters (psychology)
• Gives you a quick “who’s in control right now” view without staring at raw volume.
• Imbalance flashes create micro-alerts:
• “This might be a stop run or strong continuation, pay attention.”
• Prevents you from blindly shorting into heavy buy pressure or buying into stacked sell pressure just because of greed or fear.
• Makes your entries feel more validated, which calms you during the trade.

🧠 Overall Psychological Goal
Worstfx Fractal Sessions Public is not just a visual skin for your charts.
It’s a behavior framework.
It tries to quietly enforce:
• Patience → by tying you to sessions and key time behavior.
• Selectivity → by checking multi-TF trend alignment.
• Realistic expectations → via ATR context.
• Non-impulsive entries → via order-flow imbalance checks.
• Accountability → via clear explanations and structure, not vibes.
Instead of chasing every move, you’re guided into a loop:
“What session am I in? What is ATR saying? Are TFs aligned? Is order-flow confirming? If not, I wait.”
🔋 The risk is minimized by structure & The reward is maximized by timing🔋
Pythia Compass v 33.1Pythia Compass — Market Energy Direction
Pythia Compass is a minimalist edition of the Pythia project, designed for traders who want a clear and fast view of the market’s internal energy direction.
Despite its simple visual design, Compass runs on the same core algorithmic engine used in the advanced Pythia versions.
It merges the system’s structural and energy signals into a compact visual output:
a vertical market-energy direction scale
a forecast-quality HUD
configurable strength thresholds
early detection of energy shifts before price reacts
Compass does not display Pythia’s full graphical markup — only the final directional energy result, computed from the complete internal signal set.
You can use Pythia Compass:
as a standalone indicator for assessing strength and directional bias
as a filter for any trading strategy
as a lightweight companion to the full Pythia versions
Pythia Compass — simple on the surface, powerful underneath.
Built as an accessible entry point into the Sael Lab ecosystem and the Pythia algorithm family.
Swing Pivots - Market Structure High Low [zazenio]What is Market Structure?
Market structure is simply the pattern of highs and lows that price creates as it moves. When you look at any chart, you'll notice price doesn't move in a straight line — it swings up, pulls back, swings up again (in an uptrend), or the opposite in a downtrend.
These swing points — the peaks and valleys — are what traders call pivots. Identifying them correctly is the foundation of understanding where a market has been and where it might go next.
What This Indicator Does
Swing Pivots automatically marks these peaks and valleys on your chart so you don't have to draw them manually. It works on any market — stocks, crypto, forex, futures, indices — and on any timeframe.
How Pivots Are Detected
This indicator confirms pivots based on price structure, not a fixed bar count.
Here's how it works:
A swing high is confirmed when price breaks below the previous swing low. At that moment, we know the high was real — price tried to go higher, failed, and reversed. The market "proved" that level was a genuine turning point.
A swing low is confirmed when price breaks above the previous swing high. The same logic applies — price tried to go lower, failed, and reversed direction.
This creates a natural alternation: high, low, high, low. Each pivot is validated by the market's actual behavior, not by waiting for an arbitrary number of bars to pass.
Why This Matters
Most pivot indicators use a "lookback" method — they wait for a certain number of bars (say, 5 or 10) on each side of a candle before confirming it as a pivot. This creates a fixed delay. By the time the pivot appears on your chart, price has already moved on.
This indicator doesn't wait. It confirms pivots the moment price structure proves them. The result is pivots that align with how traders actually read charts — based on breaks of structure, not arbitrary countdowns.
Settings
Swing Width: Controls how sensitive the detection is. Higher numbers show only major swings; lower numbers capture smaller moves within the structure.
Style/Size/Colors: Customize how the pivot markers look on your chart.
Use Cases
See the "skeleton" of price action at a glance
Identify potential support and resistance levels
Understand if the market is trending or ranging
Build a foundation for more advanced concepts like Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH)
