RED E Support & ResistanceThe “RED-E Support & Resistance” indicator is designed to assist traders in visualizing key levels of support and resistance on a chart by employing ATR (Average True Range) to create dynamic horizontal zones. This indicator automatically plots robust support and resistance bands that can help identify potential areas where price may reverse, consolidate, or react. These levels are particularly beneficial for traders who employ concepts like Smart Money analysis, as they illustrate zones where institutional trading activity might occur.
How It Works:
• The indicator uses ATR-based calculations to determine the placement of the support and resistance zones. This approach accounts for market volatility, making the zones adaptive to changing conditions.
• The Zone Thickness parameter allows users to customize the width of the plotted zones, enhancing visibility and fitting them to their specific trading style.
• The support and resistance zones extend horizontally across the chart, providing clear reference points for potential price reactions.
Practical Application:
• Trend Analysis: Identify areas of significant price resistance and support to understand potential turning points or trends in the market.
• Risk Management: Use these zones to better inform stop-loss placements or set profit targets.
• Confirmation Tool: Combine the indicator with other technical analysis tools for confirmation of potential trade entries or exits.
Customization Options:
• Change the colors of the support and resistance zones for better integration with different chart themes.
• Adjust the ATR Length and Multiplier to fine-tune the sensitivity of the zones based on personal preferences and the characteristics of the asset being analyzed.

Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.

Pivot Channel LevelsPivot Channel Levels
Indicator Description
“Pivot Channel Levels” is an advanced technical analysis tool that identifies key price pivots (highs and lows) and creates dynamic support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at these points (or bodies if wicks are minimal). The indicator analyzes the volume at the time of a pivot’s formation, displaying its value and percentage change relative to the volume’s simple moving average (SMA).
It does not generate buy/sell signals but provides a clear visualization of market structure, helping traders identify potential price reaction zones and assess the strength of market movements.
Why Are Wicks Important?
Candle wicks at price pivots indicate significant market reactions in key areas. Depending on the context, they may signal rejection, testing, or absorption of a support or resistance level. Long wicks often appear where large players are active, and the marked zones are frequently retested. The indicator allows for quick identification and observation of their impact on future price action.
Why Use It?
- Precise Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator draws price channels based on candle wicks at pivots (or bodies if wicks are absent), enabling better identification of zones where price may react.
- Volume Analysis: It shows how the volume at a pivot differs from the average, indicating potential activity by large players or key market moments.
- Visual Clarity: Colored lines, channel fills, and clear labels facilitate quick chart analysis, even on short timeframes.
- Flexibility: Adjustable pivot length, volume average, and label colors allow customization to various trading strategies.
How It Works
- Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies local highs and lows based on the “Pivot Length” parameter (default: 20 candles). This means a pivot appears on the chart with a 20-candle delay. Reducing this value allows faster pivot detection (after fewer candles), increasing their number but potentially generating more noise.
- Channel Creation: Draws support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at pivot points (or bodies if wicks are minimal) with a delay to confirm zones. A pivot channel is drawn until the next pivot is identified, but if not previously broken, it remains valid as active support or resistance.
- Volume Analysis: Displays the volume at the pivot’s formation and its percentage change relative to the volume’s SMA.
- Visualization: Pivot and channel levels are shown as lines with fills, and labels display volume and its deviation from the average.
Trading Applications
- Swing Trading: Use pivot levels and channels to identify price reversal points or consolidation zones.
- Scalping: Monitor price reactions to channels on short timeframes, especially with high volume.
- Faster Pivot Identification: Switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., from H1 to M15) to identify pivots more quickly, allowing earlier reactions to price changes.
- Market Context Analysis: High volume at pivots may indicate significant levels likely to be retested.
- Combining with Other Tools: The indicator pairs well with Fibonacci retracement, supply/demand zones, or oscillators like RSI.
Settings and Customization
- Pivot Length: Determines how many candles back and forward are analyzed to detect pivots (default: 20). A smaller value increases sensitivity, a larger one enhances stability.
- Volume Average: Length of the SMA for volume (default: 20). Adjust to better reflect market characteristics.
- Label Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish pivot labels to match your chart style.
Usage Examples
- Identifying Key Zones: If the price approaches a pivot level with high volume (e.g., +50% relative to SMA), it may signal strong support or resistance.
- Breakout Confirmation: A channel breakout with high volume can indicate trend continuation.
- Price Reaction Analysis: Long wicks at pivots with high volume may signal level rejection by large players.
Notes for Users
- The indicator performs best on highly liquid markets (e.g., Forex, indices, cryptocurrencies).
- On short timeframes (e.g., M1, M5), it may generate more noise—adjust “Pivot Length” to suit your needs.
- Consider combining with other indicators to confirm signals derived from pivot and volume analysis.

StochRSI Context EngineThe StochRSI Context Engine is a premium, logic-driven indicator built to provide comprehensive intraday momentum context using multi-timeframe Stochastic RSI analysis. Rather than issuing direct buy or sell signals, the tool is designed to give traders enhanced clarity on trend posture, overbought/oversold conditions, volatility states, and potential momentum reversals. It combines multiple layers of signal processing to deliver an intelligent overview of market conditions in real time.
What it does:
The indicator performs a multi-timeframe evaluation of the Stochastic RSI, sampling values from four customizable timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h). These values are blended and processed through a series of analytical engines to provide the following:
1. StochRSI Multi-Timeframe Engine
* Computes a smoothed Stochastic RSI value on each selected timeframe.
* Applies user-defined smoothing (SMA, EMA, RMA, or WMA).
* Aggregates these into an average (sRSIavg) for further analysis.
2. Trend and Volatility Engine
* Uses EMA stacking logic (8, 21, 50) to determine directional alignment.
* Calculates linear regression slope for directional bias.
* Assesses volatility using ATR relative to price.
* Derives a trendScore based on EMA alignment, price position, and slope strength.
3. Bias and Slope Analysis
* Measures fast/slow EMA slope differentials to detect bias direction and strength.
* Computes slope deltas and volatility-weighted stacking to score bias conditions.
* Outputs a classification such as strong bullish, moderate bearish, or neutral.
4. Dynamic OB/OS Zone Detection
* Adapts overbought and oversold thresholds based on volatility and trend regime.
* Adjusts the zone boundaries if in a trending or high-volatility environment.
5. Microzone Proximity Detection
* Tracks whether the average StochRSI is approaching key OB/OS thresholds.
* Flags conditions like “Near Overbought,” “Near Oversold,” or “Mid Range.”
6. Velocity and Acceleration Detection
* Measures how quickly StochRSI values are changing.
* Uses delta calculations to gauge the momentum’s thrust or decay.
* Classifies shifts in RSI movement (e.g., flat, slow, fast, or thrusting).
7. Range Expansion / Compression Engine
* Evaluates whether StochRSI values across timeframes are diverging or compressing.
* Identifies regime changes in momentum coherence.
8. Momentum Scoring System
* Calculates a composite score based on bias, slope strength, volatility, and range.
* Labels momentum phases from dormant to full-throttle.
9. Confluence Detection
* Tallies how many of the 4 timeframes are currently overbought or oversold.
* High confluence increases the probability of valid reversal or continuation zones.
10. Support and Resistance Zone Memory
* Tracks and plots previous areas where StochRSI bounced or rejected near zones.
* Stores and updates these zones over time, acting as momentum-based S/R levels.
* Includes a proximity check to cluster zones that are close in value.
11. Divergence Detection Engine
* Detects classic bullish or bearish divergence between price and the aggregated StochRSI.
* Draws lines to show divergence structure and triggers real-time alerts.
12. Smart Background Highlighting
* Shades the background based on whether current StochRSI is in an overbought, oversold, or
neutral zone.
13. Real-Time Dashboard

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
Liquidity Heatmap SwiftEdgeDescription
Liquidity Heatmap with Buy/Sell Side (Blue/Red) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential liquidity zones in the market by combining swing high/low detection with volume analysis, visualized as a heatmap overlay on the chart. This script highlights areas where significant buying or selling pressure may exist, often acting as support or resistance levels, and provides a clear visual representation of these zones using color-coded heatmap boxes and labeled bubbles.
What It Does
The script identifies key price levels (swing highs and lows) where liquidity is likely to be concentrated, such as stop-loss clusters or pending orders. These levels are then grouped into a heatmap, with blue zones representing potential buy-side liquidity (below the current price) and red zones indicating sell-side liquidity (above the current price). Each zone is marked with a bubble showing the estimated liquidity amount, derived from volume data, to help traders gauge the strength of the level.
How It Works
The script combines three main components to create a comprehensive liquidity visualization:
Swing Highs and Lows Detection:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify swing highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period (Swing Length). These levels often represent areas where price has reversed, indicating potential liquidity zones where stop-losses or pending orders may be placed.
Volume Analysis:
Volume data at each swing high/low is captured and averaged over a specified period (Volume Average Length). This volume is then scaled using a multiplier (Volume Multiplier for Liquidity) to estimate the liquidity amount at each level, displayed in thousands (e.g., "10K") on the chart via labeled bubbles.
Heatmap Visualization:
The identified levels are grouped into price bins to form a heatmap. The price range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (Number of Heatmap Bins), and each bin is drawn as a colored box (blue for buy-side, red for sell-side). The transparency of the heatmap boxes can be adjusted (Heatmap Transparency) to ensure they do not obscure the price action.
Why Combine These Components?
The combination of swing highs/lows, volume analysis, and a heatmap provides a powerful way to visualize liquidity in the market. Swing highs and lows are natural points where liquidity tends to accumulate, as they often coincide with areas where traders place stop-losses or pending orders. By incorporating volume data, the script quantifies the potential strength of these levels, giving traders insight into the magnitude of liquidity present. The heatmap visualization then aggregates these levels into a clear, color-coded overlay, making it easy to see where buy-side and sell-side liquidity is concentrated without cluttering the chart.
This mashup is particularly useful because it bridges price action (swing levels), market activity (volume), and visual clarity (heatmap), offering a holistic view of potential support and resistance zones that might influence price movements.
How to Use It
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Apply the script to your chart by adding it from the Pine Script library. It will overlay directly on your price chart.
Interpret the Heatmap:
Blue Zones (Buy-Side Liquidity): These appear below the current price and indicate levels where buying pressure or stop-losses from short positions may be located.
Red Zones (Sell-Side Liquidity): These appear above the current price and indicate levels where selling pressure or stop-losses from long positions may be located.
The intensity of the color is controlled by the Heatmap Transparency setting—lower values make the zones more opaque, while higher values make them more transparent.
Analyze the Bubbles:
Each liquidity zone is marked with a bubble showing the estimated liquidity amount in thousands (e.g., "10K"). The size of the bubble is scaled by the Bubble Size Multiplier, with larger bubbles indicating higher liquidity.
Adjust Settings for Your Needs:
Liquidity Settings:
Swing Length: Controls the lookback period for detecting swing highs and lows. A smaller value (e.g., 10) is better for shorter timeframes like 1-minute charts, while a larger value (e.g., 50) suits higher timeframes.
Liquidity Threshold: Defines how close two levels must be to be considered the same, preventing duplicate zones.
Volume Average Length: Sets the period for averaging volume data at swing points.
Volume Multiplier for Liquidity: Scales the volume to estimate liquidity amounts shown in the bubbles.
Lookback Period (Hours): Limits how far back the script looks for liquidity zones.
Use Price Window Filter: If enabled, only shows zones within a price range defined by Liquidity Window (Points per Side).
Heatmap Settings:
Number of Heatmap Bins: Determines how many price bins the heatmap is divided into. More bins create a finer resolution but may clutter the chart.
Heatmap Bin Height (Points): Sets the vertical height of each heatmap box in price points.
Heatmap Transparency: Adjusts the transparency of the heatmap boxes (0 = fully opaque, 100 = fully transparent).
Display Settings:
Bubble Size Multiplier: Scales the size of the bubbles showing liquidity amounts.
Trading Application:
Use the heatmap to identify potential support (blue zones) and resistance (red zones) levels where price may react.
Pay attention to zones with larger bubbles, as they indicate higher liquidity and may have a stronger impact on price.
Combine with other analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, indicators) to confirm trade setups.
What Makes It Original?
This script stands out by integrating swing high/low detection with volume-based liquidity estimation and a heatmap visualization in a single tool. Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators that only plot static lines, this script dynamically aggregates liquidity zones into a heatmap, making it easier to see clusters of potential buying or selling pressure. The addition of volume-derived liquidity amounts in labeled bubbles provides a unique quantitative measure of each zone's strength, helping traders prioritize key levels. The color-coded buy/sell distinction further enhances its utility by visually separating zones based on their likely market impact.
Example Use Case
On a 1-minute chart of EUR/USD, you might set Swing Length to 10 to capture short-term pivots, Lookback Period (Hours) to 4 to focus on recent data, and Liquidity Window to 200 points (20 pips) to show only nearby zones. The heatmap will then display blue zones below the current price where buy-side liquidity may act as support, and red zones above where sell-side liquidity may act as resistance. A bubble showing "50K" at a blue zone indicates significant buy-side liquidity, suggesting a potential bounce if the price approaches that level.

Usage Tips
Use the High and Low as potential breakout levels, while 75%, EQ, and 25% act as intermediate support/resistance zones.
Trend Confirmation: Watch how price interacts with the EQ (50%) level to gauge momentum.
Session Planning: Adjust the time zone to match your market (e.g., "Europe/London" for FTSE trading).
Projection Offset: Extend or shorten the lines (via "Projection Offset") based on your chart timeframe.
Inputs
Time Zone: Select your preferred market time zone.
Anchor Settings: Show/hide the prior hour start line, style, color, width, and label.
Level Settings: Customize visibility, style, color, width, and labels for Open, High, 75%, EQ, 25%, and Low.
Display: Set projection length and label size.
SL Hunting Detector📌 Step 1: Identify Liquidity Zones
The script plots high-liquidity zones (red) and low-liquidity zones (green).
These are areas where big players target stop-losses before reversing the price.
Example:
If price is near a red liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal downward.
If price is near a green liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal upward.
📌 Step 2: Watch for Stop-Loss Hunts (Fakeouts)
The indicator marks stop-loss hunts with red (bearish) or green (bullish) arrows.
When do stop-loss hunts occur?
✅ A long wick below support (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal upward.
✅ A long wick above resistance (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal downward.
Confirmation:
Volume must spike (volume > 1.5x the average volume).
ATR-based wicks must be longer than usual (showing a stop-hunt trap).
📌 Step 3: Enter a Trade After a Stop-Hunt
🔹 Bullish Trade (Buying a Dip)
If a green arrow appears (stop-hunt below support):
✅ Enter a long (buy) trade at or just above the wick’s recovery level.
✅ Stop-loss: Below the wick’s low (avoid getting hunted again).
✅ Take-profit: Next resistance level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
🔹 Bearish Trade (Shorting a Fakeout)
If a red arrow appears (stop-hunt above resistance):
✅ Enter a short (sell) trade at or just below the wick’s rejection level.
✅ Stop-loss: Above the wick’s high (avoid getting stopped out).
✅ Take-profit: Next support level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
📌 Step 4: Set Alerts & Automate
✅ The indicator triggers alerts when a stop-hunt is detected.
✅ You can set TradingView to notify you instantly when:
A bullish stop-hunt occurs → Look for long entry.
A bearish stop-hunt occurs → Look for short entry.
📌 Example Trade Setup
Example (BTC Long Trade on Stop-Hunt)
BTC is near $40,000 support (green liquidity zone).
A long wick drops to $39,800 with a green arrow (bullish stop-hunt signal).
Volume spikes, and price recovers quickly back above $40,000.
Trade entry: Buy at $40,050.
Stop-loss: Below wick ($39,700).
Take-profit: $41,500 (next resistance).
Result: BTC pumps, stop-loss remains safe, and trade profits.
🔥 Final Tips
Always wait for confirmation (don’t enter blindly on signals).
Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H) for better accuracy.
Combine with Order Flow tools (like Bookmap) to see real liquidity zones.

Discount/Premium OTE LevelsThis indicator is created to identify discount/premium areas to provide additional confluence to trades taken. The underlying theory is that the trades taken in discounted areas are likely to have less risk due to a smaller stop loss and a higher reward/risk ratio.
The indicator operates by first identifying a zone between the last major swing high and low. These highs and lows are determined as price points that at the extremes within the number of bars to the left, as defined by the "Swing Sensitivity" setting.
Once a price zone is established, the indicator verifies that the zone meets the minimum size in points as configured via the "Minimum size" setting to be considered tradable. Zones that are too small may not provide a sufficient range even for scalping. The default value is 42 points based on Nasdaq, which means that the distance between inner most OTE levels (0.382 and 0.618) is at least 10 points.
When a valid zone is identified, it is then subdivided into areas of interest based on OTE levels, which can be configured/adjusted via the "Levels to Draw" setting. These levels represent the midpoint (50%), which distinguishes between premium and discount, and the three OTE levels 0.79, 0.705, 0.618, above the 50% for discount and below the 50% for premium.
For example, if a zone is formed initially by a swing low followed by a swing high with the assumption that the draw is higher, the indicator can be used to formulate long positions from below the 50% level starting at 0.38 OTE level, or ideally at 0.295 OTE level using 0 as a stop loss. Alternatively, if the 50% level is not yet tapped, short scalp positions can be made from 0.79-0.618 OTE levels with 50% as a partial or TP target.
See for long/short example
Typically, the indicator will show only a single zone. However, there may be cases with two zones: one larger parent zone containing a smaller, valid price zone within itself.
The indicator will automatically invalidate and remove the zone once the high/low of the zone is invalidated.
Configuration:
The indicator provides several visualization options for customization, including:
Color settings for OTE levels, with separate settings for edge/50% color, premium, and discount levels.
Settings for line style for OTE levels.
Settings to determine whether to show prices on level labels.
Settings to decide if lines should be extended to the right.
200-Week EMA % Difference200-Week EMA Percentage Difference Indicator – Understanding Market Stretch & Reversion
What This Indicator Does
Even if an individual stock is delivering strong earnings and solid fundamentals, it is still influenced by overall market sentiment. When the broader market begins reverting to its long-term mean, stocks—no matter how strong—are often pulled down along with it. Unrealized gains can erode if one ignores these macro movements.
The 200-Week EMA Percentage Difference indicator measures how far the price of an asset or index has moved away from its 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in percentage terms. This provides a reliable gauge of whether the market is overstretched (overbought) or pulling back to support (oversold) relative to a long-term trend.
How It Helps Investors
Identifying Market Extremes:
When the indicator moves into the 50-80% range, historical trends show that broad-based indices like BSE Smallcap, Nifty 500, Nifty Microcap, and Nifty Smallcap 250 have often experienced corrections.
This suggests that the market may be overextended, and investors should exercise caution.
Spotting Support Zones:
Past data indicates that when the percentage difference falls back to around 30%, the market often finds a new support level, leading to fresh buying opportunities.
This can help long-term investors identify favorable entry points.
Mean Reversion & Market Cycles:
The indicator essentially measures how far these indices have stretched from their long-term mean (200-week EMA).
Extreme deviations from the EMA often result in mean reversion, where prices eventually return to more sustainable levels.
How to Use It in Broad-Based Indices
Above 50-80% → Caution Zone: Historically associated with market tops or overheated conditions.
Around 30% → Support Zone: A potential level where corrections stabilize and new market uptrends begin.
By applying this indicator to indices like BSE Smallcap, Nifty 500, Nifty Microcap, and Nifty Smallcap 250, investors can gauge market strength, anticipate corrections, and position themselves strategically for long-term opportunities.

NWOG with FVGThe New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and Fair Value Gap (FVG) combined indicator is a trading tool designed to analyze price action and detect potential support, resistance, and trade entry opportunities based on two significant concepts:
New Week Opening Gap (NWOG): The price range between the high and low of the first candle of the new trading week.
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A price imbalance or gap between candlesticks, where price may retrace to fill the gap, indicating potential support or resistance zones.
When combined, these two concepts help traders identify key price levels (from the new week open) and price imbalances (from FVGs), which can act as powerful indicators for potential market reversals, retracements, or continuation trades.
1. New Week Opening Gap (NWOG):
Definition:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) refers to the range between the high and low of the first candle in a new trading week (often, the Monday open in most markets).
Purpose:
NWOG serves as a significant reference point for market behavior throughout the week. Price action relative to this range helps traders identify:
Support and Resistance zones.
Bullish or Bearish sentiment depending on price’s relation to the opening gap levels.
Areas where the market may retrace or reverse before continuing in the primary trend.
How NWOG is Identified:
The high and low of the first candle of the new week are drawn on the chart, and these levels are used to assess the market's behavior relative to this range.
Trading Strategy Using NWOG:
Above the NWOG Range: If price is trading above the NWOG levels, it signals bullish sentiment.
Below the NWOG Range: If price is trading below the NWOG levels, it signals bearish sentiment.
Price Touching the NWOG Levels: If price approaches or breaks through the NWOG levels, it can indicate a potential retracement or reversal.
2. Fair Value Gap (FVG):
Definition:
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) occurs when there is a gap or imbalance between two consecutive candlesticks, where the high of one candle is lower than the low of the next candle (or vice versa), creating a zone that may act as a price imbalance.
Purpose:
FVGs represent an imbalance in price action, often indicating that the market moved too quickly and left behind a price region that was not fully traded.
FVGs can serve as areas where price is likely to retrace to fill the gap, as traders seek to correct the imbalance.
How FVG is Identified:
An FVG is detected if:
Bearish FVG: The high of one candle is less than the low of the next (gap up).
Bullish FVG: The low of one candle is greater than the high of the next (gap down).
The area between the gap is drawn as a shaded region, indicating the FVG zone.
Trading Strategy Using FVG:
Price Filling the FVG: Price is likely to retrace to fill the gap. A reversal candle in the FVG zone can indicate a trade setup.
Support and Resistance: FVG zones can act as support (in a bullish FVG) or resistance (in a bearish FVG) if the price retraces to them.
Combined Strategy: New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and Fair Value Gap (FVG):
The combined use of NWOG and FVG helps traders pinpoint high-probability price action setups where:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) acts as a major reference level for potential support or resistance.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) represent market imbalances where price might retrace to, filling the gap before continuing its move.
Signal Logic:
Buy Signal:
Price touches or breaks above the NWOG range (indicating a bullish trend) and there is a bullish FVG present (gap indicating a support area).
Price retraces to fill the bullish FVG, offering a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Signal:
Price touches or breaks below the NWOG range (indicating a bearish trend) and there is a bearish FVG present (gap indicating a resistance area).
Price retraces to fill the bearish FVG, offering a potential sell opportunity.
Example:
Buy Setup:
Price breaks above the NWOG resistance level, and a bullish FVG (gap down) appears below. Traders can wait for price to pull back to fill the gap and then take a long position when confirmation occurs.
Sell Setup:
Price breaks below the NWOG support level, and a bearish FVG (gap up) appears above. Traders can wait for price to retrace and fill the gap before entering a short position.
Key Benefits of the Combined NWOG & FVG Indicator:
Combines Two Key Concepts:
NWOG provides context for the market's overall direction based on the start of the week.
FVG highlights areas where price imbalances exist and where price might retrace to, making it easier to spot entry points.
High-Probability Setups:
By combining these two strategies, the indicator helps traders spot high-probability trades based on major market levels (from NWOG) and price inefficiencies (from FVG).
Helps Identify Reversal and Continuation Opportunities:
FVGs act as potential support and resistance zones, and when combined with the context of the NWOG levels, it gives traders clearer guidance on where price might reverse or continue its trend.
Clear Visual Signals:
The indicator can plot the NWOG levels on the chart, and shade the FVG areas, providing a clean and easy-to-read chart with entry signals marked for buy and sell opportunities.
Conclusion:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and Fair Value Gap (FVG) combined indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use price action strategies. By incorporating the New Week's opening range and identifying gaps in price action, this indicator helps traders identify potential support and resistance zones, pinpoint entry opportunities, and increase the probability of successful trades.
This combined strategy enhances your analysis by adding layers of confirmation for trades based on significant market levels and price imbalances. Let me know if you'd like more details or modifications!

Normalized ZScoreThe Normalized ZScore Indicator is a dynamic tool designed to help traders identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It calculates the ZScore of the price movement relative to a moving average, allowing users to track the deviation of price from its average and normalize it within a fixed range for clearer signal generation. The indicator can be used for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies, offering customizable options for various trading styles.
How It Works
This indicator works by calculating two distinct ZScores:
Standard ZScore: Based on the price deviation from a simple moving average (SMA).
Fast ZScore: Calculated using price deviation from the SMA combined with standard deviation over a shorter period.
The ZScore values are normalized between -100 and 100, allowing for consistent and comparable signal outputs across different assets and timeframes.
Key Features
Customizable MA and Deviation Lengths: Adjust the length of the moving average (MA Length) and deviation (Deviation Length) to suit your trading needs.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: The indicator highlights areas where the market may be overbought or oversold using a user-defined threshold.
Color-Coded Signals: The ZScore plot changes color based on market conditions:
Positive ZScore (overbought) = Customizable Positive Color
Neutral ZScore = Customizable Middle Color
Negative ZScore (oversold) = Customizable Negative Color
Trend Filtering Option: The built-in trend filter helps to enhance signal accuracy by factoring in the overall market trend.
Signal Shapes:
Diamonds: Indicate strong long or short entry signals when ZScore crosses predefined thresholds.
X-Crosses: Indicate weaker long or short entry signals for users preferring caution in their trades.
Inputs
MA Length: Set the length of the moving average used for calculating the ZScore.
Deviation Length: Set the length used for deviation calculations.
OBS Threshold: Set the threshold for defining overbought and oversold zones.
Trend Filter: Enable or disable the trend filter for added signal confidence.
Color Settings: Customize the colors for positive, middle, and negative ZScore values.
Visual Features
ZScore Plot: A smooth and color-coded line plot to visualize the ZScore in real-time.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Visualized with horizontal lines and fill colors to highlight extremes.
Bar Coloring: Bars change colors when ZScore exceeds overbought/oversold zones, enhancing visual clarity.
Signal Markers: Diamond or X-shaped markers appear on the chart to indicate potential trade signals.
How to Use
Entry Points: Look for the ZScore to cross into overbought/oversold regions for potential reversal trades. Use the diamonds and X-crosses for long and short entries.
Trend Filter: Enable the trend filter to avoid taking trades against the overall market trend.
Customize Settings: Adjust the lengths and colors to match your specific trading strategy and timeframe.
ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones
Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.
The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
Combining kill zones and pivot points in financial market analysis provides several advantages :
Enhanced Market Sentiment Analysis : Aligns key price levels with high-activity periods for a clearer market sentiment.
Improved Timing for Trade Entries and Exits : Helps better time trades based on when price movements are most likely.
Higher Probability of Successful Trades : Increases the accuracy of predicting market movements and placing profitable trades.
Strategic Stop-Loss and Profit Target Placement : Allows for precise risk management by strategically setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Versatility Across Different Time Frames : Effective in both short and long time frames, suitable for various trading strategies.
Enhanced Trend Identification and Confirmation : Confirms trends using both pivot levels and high-activity periods, ensuring stronger trend validation.
In essence, this integrated approach enhances decision-making, optimizes trading performance, and improves risk management.
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points
There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.
Enhanced Forex IndicatorDescription of the "Enhanced Forex Indicator"
The "Enhanced Forex Indicator" is designed for traders who want a comprehensive technical analysis tool on the TradingView platform. This script integrates Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), support and resistance zones, and candlestick pattern recognition to provide actionable trading signals, particularly useful for Forex and other financial markets. The script is suitable for intraday trading and swing trading.
Components of the Indicator
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Short EMA (Blue Line): Faster responding average, good for identifying recent trend changes.
Long EMA (Red Line): Slower moving average, helps in confirming longer-term trends.
Support and Resistance Zones:
Resistance Zone (Red): Area where potential selling pressure could overcome buying pressure, halting price increases temporarily or reversing them.
Support Zone (Green): Area where potential buying pressure could overcome selling pressure, supporting prices and preventing them from falling further.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Triangle Up 'BE'): Suggests a potential upward reversal or start of a bullish trend.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Triangle Down 'BE'): Indicates a potential downward reversal or start of a bearish trend.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal (Green Label 'BUY'): Triggered when the price is above both EMAs and a bullish engulfing pattern is detected.
Sell Signal (Red Label 'SELL'): Triggered when the price is below both EMAs and a bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
Trading Setup:
Entry: Consider entering a buy position when the 'BUY' signal appears, indicating bullish conditions. Enter a sell position when the 'SELL' signal appears, indicating bearish conditions.
Exit: Look for closing signals opposite your entry or use predefined take profit and stop loss levels. For instance, exit a buy position on a 'SELL' signal or when the price drops below the support zone.
Risk Management:
Set stop losses just below the support zone for buy orders and above the resistance zone for sell orders to protect against significant losses.
Adjust position sizes according to your risk tolerance and account balance.
Considerations:
Use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis tools and fundamental data to confirm signals and strengthen your trading strategy.
Periodically backtest the strategy based on this indicator to ensure its effectiveness in current market conditions.
Optimization:
Adjust the lengths of the EMAs and the buffer size of the support and resistance zones to better fit the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
Gaps + Imbalances + Wicks (MTF) - By LeviathanThis script will identify and draw price gaps, wicks and imbalances with customizable fill conditions, multi-timeframe function, zone size filtering, volume comparison, lookback filtering, as well as highly customizable appearance and settings.
I’ve made this indicator to combine the three similar but different elements that occur in price movements and serve as significant zones of interest or way of PA interpretation in various different strategies.
Imbalances (or Fair Value Gap/FVG/Inefficiency/whatever)
- The Imbalance “pattern” consists of 3 candles (1- candle before the sharp move, 2 - sharp move candle and 3- candle after the sharp move). When price makes a move downwards, the imbalance zone is defined as the area between the low of 1 and the high of 3 When price makes a move upwards, the imbalance zone is defined as the area between the high of 1 and the low of 3.
Gaps
A price gap is an area on a chart where no trading activity has taken place. A gap up means that the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle and a gap down means that the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle.
Wicks (or shadows/tails/whatever)
Wicks are used to indicate where the price has fluctuated relative to the opening and closing price of the candle. An upper wick is the zone between candle high and candle close/open (whichever is higher) and a lower wick is the zone between candle’s low and candle’s close/open (whichever is lower).
Settings Overview
“Zone Type” - This input lets you decide which zones should the script plot and on which timeframe. You should always pick a timeframe higher than your chat’s.
“Middle Line, Top Line, Bottom Line” - Show or hide the Middle Line (horizontal level in the middle of each zone), Show or hide Top Line (horizontal level at the top of the zone), Show or hide Bottom Line (horizontal level at the bottom of the zone)
“UP/DOWN Zones" - This input lets you show/hide UP Zones or DOWN Zones an pick their color, border color and label color.
”Fill Condition” - If turned ON, the zones will end drawing when your prefered Fill Condition is met (Full Filll = price mitigates the whole zone, Half Fill = zone is at least halfway mitigated and Touch = zone is touched by price). If turned OFF, the zones will only be plotted for the amount of bars defined it “Zone Length”.
”Lookback (D)” - This input lets you limit the amount of zones plotted on the chart by choosing how many days back in time should the script go to find and plot zones. For example, input 1 will only show you the zones of the past day, input 7 will only show you the zones of the past week.
”Hide Filled Zones” - If turned ON, the zones that have been filled will be removed from the chart.
”Show Boxes” - Show or hide the boxes that represent the zones. This is useful for those who want the zones to be visualized by just lines.
“Filter Type” - this input lets you create a filter that will make the script only show zones that are larger than ATR or larger than a certain percentage. You can choose the ATR Length and the multiplier (higher multiplier → larger zone required), as well as the Percentage (%) and its multiplier (higher percentage → larger zone required). If you choose “None”, the zones of all sizes will be plotted.
”Zone Labels” - this part of the settings lets you: show/hide labels, decide on the size of the labels and their positions, choose a custom name for each zone, choose the data that the labels present (Type of the zone/Timeframe/ Volume ).
”Other settings” - ‘Stop/Delete zone after X number of candles’ will force stop/delete the zone if it’s plotted for more than prefered number of bars. ‘Line Style’ lets you choose the style and the color of the lines, ‘Zone Length’ defines the length of the zone if Fill Condition is “None”.
More settings, modifications and improvements coming in future updates. This script is a bit old so I will clean up and optimize the code once I have more time.
Grid Bot SimulatorThis script is a grid bot simulator for ranging/choppy markets. Prices are divided into grids, or trade zones, that will trigger signals each time a new zone is entered. During ranging markets, each transaction is followed by a “take profit.” As the market starts to trend, transactions are stacked (compare to DCA), until the market consolidates. No signals are triggered above the Upper Limit or Below the Lower Limit.
Settings overview:
Upper Limit/Lower Limit : Highest and Lowest values for entire grid.
Number of Grids : Number of trade zones.
Show Grids : Show or hide all gridlines.
Show Only Current Grids : Only display the grids just above and just below the current trade zone.
High/Low for signals : If enabled, signals are triggered as soon as the price touches the next zone. If disabled, signals are triggered after bar closes. Enable this for “Once Per Bar alerts. Disable for “Once Per Bar Close” alerts.
Highlight Trade Zones
The grid bot should work well during ranging/choppy markets. Each zone will have only one trade, and then will immediately take profit in the next zone.
Ranging/Choppy Market
However, trending markets can produce multiple signals in rapid succession:
Trending Market
If the gridlines are compressing the chart space, enable the “Show Only Current Grids” in settings.
Show Only Current Grids disabled
Show Only Current Grids enabled
When changing symbols, adjust the Upper and Lower Limits to accommodate the new symbol. Otherwise, the chart will look compressed.
XBTUSD chart with ETHUSDT settings
The bot is a proof-of-concept and is considered experimental . Possible future updates will include Fibonacci grids and “smart entry/exits,” depending on the current trend. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.
T-DOW-FLOW: Final Edition
T-DOW-FLOW: Market Structure & Smart Pivot Zones
This indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to visualize "Market Structure" based on Dow Theory and precise Supply/Demand Zones. It helps traders identify the true market trend and high-probability reaction levels by analyzing raw price action (ZigZag Pivots) rather than lagging indicators.
The script integrates three core systems:
ZigZag Trend Cloud: Visualizes the market bias (Uptrend/Downtrend).
Smart Pivot Zones (Type 1): Highlights the specific "Wick-to-Body" area of recent pivots.
Auto Density Channels (Type 2): Detects historical support/resistance clusters.
1. ZigZag Trend Identification
Logic: The script utilizes ta.highestbars and ta.lowestbars to detect Swing Highs and Swing Lows.
Trend Cloud:
If the structure creates a Higher High, the background cloud turns Green (Uptrend).
If the structure creates a Lower Low, the background cloud turns Red (Downtrend).
This provides an instant visual filter for "Trend Flow," encouraging traders to trade only in the direction of the dominant market structure.
2. SR Type 1: Smart Pivot Zones (Wick-to-Body)
Unlike standard indicators that draw thin lines at the absolute High/Low, this script focuses on the "Imbalance Zone".
It calculates the price range between the Pivot's Wick and the Pivot's Body (Open/Close) and fills this area with a colored zone.
Why? The area between the wick and body often represents the precise zone where institutional orders were filled, acting as a more reliable support/resistance level than a single price point.
3. SR Type 2: Auto Density Channels
This module scans a significant amount of historical data (default: 300 bars) to find clusters of pivot points.
Areas where multiple pivots align within a specific width are drawn as Channels. These represent strong, long-term psychological levels.
Trend Filter: Check the Trend Cloud color.
Green: Look for Long opportunities.
Red: Look for Short opportunities.
Entry Trigger: Wait for the price to retrace into a Smart Pivot Zone (Type 1) or an Auto Channel (Type 2).
Look for price rejection (wicks) at these zones in the direction of the Trend Cloud.
Structure Confirmation: Use the ZigZag lines and labels (HH, HL, etc.) to confirm that the market structure is still intact before entering.
ZigZag Settings: Adjust the sensitivity of the trend detection.
SR Type 1: Toggle the "Wick-to-Body" fill and choose between Wicks or Bodies as the primary source.
SR Type 2: Adjust the historical loopback period and channel width sensitivity.
This script is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
(以下、日本語説明 / Japanese Description)
このインジケーターは、「ダウ理論」に基づくトレンド判定と、精密な「需給ゾーン（Supply/Demand）」を可視化するための市場構造分析ツールです。 遅行指標を使わず、純粋なプライスアクション（ZigZagピボット）に基づいて、機関投資家の意識する価格帯を特定します。
1. ZigZagトレンドクラウド
ロジック: 一定期間の高値・安値を検出し、ダウ理論に基づいてトレンドを判定します。
視覚化: 高値切り上げ（上昇トレンド）なら「緑」、安値切り下げ（下落トレンド）なら「赤」の背景色を表示します。これにより、トレードすべき方向（順張り）を一目で判断できます。
2. SR Type 1: スマートピボットゾーン (Wick-to-Body)
単なる水平線ではなく、ローソク足の**「ヒゲ先」から「実体」までの価格差**をゾーンとして塗りつぶして表示します。
理由: ヒゲと実体の間の領域は、大口の注文が執行された（需給の不均衡が発生した）重要なエリアであることが多く、ピンポイントのラインよりも信頼性の高い反発ゾーンとして機能します。
3. SR Type 2: オート・デンシティ・チャネル
過去の長期間（デフォルト300本）のデータをスキャンし、ピボットが密集している価格帯を自動で「チャネル」として描画します。長期的に意識される強力なレジサポ帯です。
環境認識: 背景のトレンドクラウドの色に従い、目線を固定します。
エントリー: 価格がSRゾーン（Type 1）やチャネル（Type 2）に引きつけて、反発する動きを確認してエントリーします。
構造確認: ZigZagラインとラベル（HH/HLなど）を見て、トレンドが崩れていないことを確認します。

Liquidity Heatmap [Eˣ]💧 Liquidity Heatmap - Free Indicator
Overview
The Liquidity Heatmap reveals where stop losses are clustered in the market - the hidden liquidity zones that smart money targets. This indicator automatically identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above price and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below price, showing you exactly where institutional traders are likely to hunt for stops before major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Identifies Liquidity Zones:
• Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) - Stop losses from SHORT positions clustered above price
• Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) - Stop losses from LONG positions clustered below price
• Automatically clusters nearby levels into high-probability zones
• Shows liquidity strength (1-5+) - higher numbers = more stops = bigger target
• Removes swept liquidity in real-time as price takes out stops
Visual Display:
• 🔴 Red Zones Above Price = Buy-Side Liquidity (shorts' stops)
• 🟢 Green Zones Below Price = Sell-Side Liquidity (longs' stops)
• Thicker/Darker Zones = Higher liquidity concentration
• BSL/SSL Labels = Show exact strength count
• Triangle Markers = Liquidity sweep alerts (when price takes stops)
Smart Features:
• Auto-removes old liquidity (customizable lookback period)
• Clusters nearby levels to reduce noise
• Tracks liquidity strength and age
• Updates in real-time as new swing points form
• Alerts when major liquidity zones are swept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Understanding Liquidity Concepts
What is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to clusters of stop loss orders sitting in the market. These stops represent:
• Long traders' stop losses (below support) = Sell-Side Liquidity
• Short traders' stop losses (above resistance) = Buy-Side Liquidity
Why Does This Matter?
• Institutions NEED liquidity to fill large orders
• Price often "sweeps" liquidity zones before reversing
• Major liquidity = major target for smart money
• Understanding liquidity = understanding market maker behavior
The Liquidity Cycle:
1. Retail traders place stops at obvious levels (swing highs/lows)
2. Smart money identifies these clusters
3. Price is pushed to sweep the stops (liquidity grab)
4. Institutions fill their orders with this liquidity
5. Price reverses in the opposite direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Sweep Reversals
Best For: Swing trading, catching reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Identify strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone below price
2. Wait for price to sweep down into the SSL zone
3. Look for rejection/reversal candle pattern (pin bar, engulfing)
4. Enter LONG after sweep and reversal confirmation
5. Stop loss: Below the swept liquidity zone
6. Target: Opposite liquidity zone or key resistance
Why It Works: Smart money sweeps stops to fill buy orders, then pushes price higher
Example:
• SSL zone at $45,000 with strength 3
• Price drops to $44,950, sweeps the SSL
• Strong bullish reversal candle forms
• Enter long at $45,100
• Target: BSL zone at $47,000
Strategy 2: Liquidity-to-Liquidity Runs
Best For: Day trading, scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Entry Setup:
1. Price sweeps Sell-Side Liquidity below and reverses up
2. Identify Buy-Side Liquidity zone above
3. Enter LONG targeting the BSL zone above
4. Exit near/at the BSL zone (don't wait for sweep)
5. Stop loss: Below recent swing low
Why It Works: Price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
Variation - Reverse for Shorts:
• BSL sweep above → Look for SSL zone below
• Enter short targeting lower liquidity
Strategy 3: Liquidity Avoidance (Stop Placement)
Best For: Improving win rate on existing strategies
Timeframes: All
Rules:
1. NEVER place stops exactly at obvious liquidity zones
2. Place stops beyond the liquidity zone with buffer
3. Or place stops before the liquidity zone (tighter, riskier)
4. Monitor liquidity strength - avoid zones with strength 3+
Why It Works: Market makers hunt obvious stop clusters
Example:
• Trading long, swing low at $100 (SSL zone, strength 4)
• Bad: Stop at $99.50 (will get swept)
• Better: Stop at $98.50 (beyond the liquidity)
• Alternative: Stop at $100.50 (tighter, before sweep zone)
Strategy 4: Confluence Trading
Best For: High probability setups
Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Find liquidity zone that aligns with:
• Major support/resistance level
• Fibonacci retracement (0.618, 0.786)
• Trendline
• Round psychological number ($50,000, $2,000, etc)
2. Wait for sweep of this high-confluence zone
3. Enter on reversal with multiple confirmations
4. Larger position size justified by confluence
Why It Works: Multiple factors = institutional interest = higher probability

⚙️ Settings Explained
Core Settings
Swing Detection Length (Default: 10)
• Number of bars left/right to identify swing highs and lows
• Lower values (5-8): More sensitive, more liquidity zones, more noise
• Higher values (12-20): Less sensitive, only major swings, cleaner chart
• Recommended: 8-10 for intraday, 10-15 for swing trading
Liquidity Lookback Bars (Default: 100)
• How many historical bars to track liquidity zones
• Lower values (50-75): Shows only recent liquidity
• Higher values (100-200): Shows longer-term liquidity clusters
• Zones older than this are automatically removed
• Recommended: 100-150 for most timeframes
Zone Proximity % (Default: 0.5)
• Percentage threshold to group nearby levels into single zone
• Lower values (0.2-0.4): Keeps levels separate, more zones
• Higher values (0.6-1.0): Aggressive clustering, fewer zones
• Recommended: 0.4-0.6 for crypto, 0.3-0.5 for forex, 0.5-0.8 for stocks
Visualization Settings
Show Buy-Side Liquidity
• Toggle ON/OFF red zones above price
• Turn OFF if only interested in downside liquidity
Show Sell-Side Liquidity
• Toggle ON/OFF green zones below price
• Turn OFF if only interested in upside liquidity
Show Liquidity Labels
• Toggle BSL/SSL labels with strength numbers
• Turn OFF for cleaner chart appearance
• Keep ON to see exact liquidity strength
Display Style
• Boxes: Filled rectangular zones (best for visualizing strength)
• Lines: Horizontal dashed lines (minimal, clean look)
• Both: Boxes + Lines (maximum visibility)
Color Intensity
• Low: 85% transparency (subtle, less distracting)
• Medium: 75% transparency (balanced visibility)
• High: 65% transparency (bold, maximum visibility)

📱 Info Panel Guide
Located in the top-right corner, the info panel provides real-time liquidity statistics:
Buy-Side Zones
• Count of active BSL zones above current price
• Higher number = More upside targets for price
Sell-Side Zones
• Count of active SSL zones below current price
• Higher number = More downside targets for price
Total Zones
• Combined count of all active liquidity
• Useful for gauging overall market structure
Nearest BSL
• Distance in % to closest Buy-Side Liquidity above
• Example: +2.5% means BSL is 2.5% above current price
• Quick reference for next upside target
Nearest SSL
• Distance in % to closest Sell-Side Liquidity below
• Example: -1.8% means SSL is 1.8% below current price
• Quick reference for next downside target
Liquidity Bias
• ⬆️ Bullish : More BSL than SSL (upside targets dominate)
• ⬇️ Bearish : More SSL than BSL (downside targets dominate)
• ↔️ Balanced: Equal liquidity on both sides (range-bound)

🎓 Understanding Liquidity Strength
What Do The Numbers Mean?
Strength 1 : Single swing point
• Light liquidity, minor target
• Can be ignored in trending markets
• Useful in ranging/choppy conditions
Strength 2-3 : Moderate liquidity cluster
• Multiple nearby swing points merged
• Decent target for intraday moves
• Watch for potential sweeps
Strength 4-5 : Strong liquidity cluster
• Major cluster of stops
• High-probability target for institutions
• Expect reactions when swept
Strength 6+ : Extreme liquidity pool
• Massive stop cluster (rare)
• Critical zone - high probability of sweep
• Often marks major support/resistance
• Ideal for confluence setups

📱 Alert Setup
This indicator includes 2 powerful alert types:
1. Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps BSL zone above
• Shows potential bullish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes upward continuation after sweep
2. Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps SSL zone below
• Shows potential bearish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes downward continuation after sweep
To Set Up Alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in TradingView
2. Condition: Select "Liquidity Heatmap"
3. Choose alert type: BSL Sweep or SSL Sweep
4. Configure notification method (push, email, webhook)
5. Click "Create"
Pro Tip: Set alerts for both BSL and SSL sweeps to catch opportunities in both directions

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for confirmation - Don't enter immediately on sweep, wait for reversal pattern
• Combine with trend - SSL sweeps in uptrends = higher probability longs
• Check multiple timeframes - 1H liquidity + 4H liquidity = strongest zones
• Monitor strength - Focus on zones with strength 3+
• Use proper risk management - Liquidity sweeps can go further than expected
• Watch for re-sweeps - Sometimes liquidity zones get swept multiple times
• Consider volume - High volume sweeps = stronger reversal potential
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't fade strong trends - In strong trends, sweeps often continue rather than reverse
• Don't overtrade - Not every sweep is a tradeable setup
• Don't ignore context - Check broader market conditions and news
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance, and other analysis
• Don't place stops at liquidity - Your stops will be hunted
• Don't expect perfection
