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

Algo + Trendlines :: Medium PeriodThis indicator helps me to avoid overlooking Trendlines / Algolines. So far it doesn't search explicitly for Algolines (I don't consider volume at all), but it's definitely now already not horribly bad.
These are meant to be used on logarithmic charts btw! The lines would be displayed wrong on linear charts.
The biggest challenge is that there are some technical restrictions in TradingView, f. e. a script stops executing if a for-loop would take longer than 0.5 sec.
So in order to circumvent this and still be able to consider as many candles from the past as possible, I've created multiple versions for different purposes that I use like this:
Algo + Trendlines :: Medium Period : This script looks for "temporary highs / lows" (meaning the bar before and after has lower highs / lows) on the daily chart, connects them and shows the 5 ones that are the closest to the current price (=most relevant). This one is good to find trendlines more thoroughly, but only up to 4 years ago.
Algo + Trendlines :: Long Period : This version looks instead at the weekly charts for "temporary highs / lows" and finds out which days caused these highs / lows and connects them, Taking data from the weekly chart means fewer data points to check whether a trendline is broken, which allows to detect trendlines from up to 12 years ago! Therefore it misses some trendlines. Personally I prefer this one with "Only Confirmed" set to true to really show only the most relevant lines. This means at least 3 candle highs / lows touched the line. These are more likely stronger resistance / support lines compared to those that have been touched only twice.
Very important: sometimes you might see dotted lines that suddenly stop after a few months (after 100 bars to be precise). This indicates you need to zoom further out for TradingView to be able to load the full line. Unfortunately TradingView doesn't render lines if the starting point was too long ago, so this is my workaround. This is also the script's biggest advantage: showing you lines that you might have missed otherwise since the starting bars were outside of the screen, and required you to scroll f. e back to 2015..
One more thing to know:
Weak colored line = only 2 "collision" points with candle highs/lows (= not confirmed)
Usual colored line = 3+ "collision" points (= confirmed)
Make sure to move this indicator above the ticker in the Object Tree, so that it is drawn on top of the ticker's candles!

PT FinderThis is mostly helpful to find potential price targets for Daytrades on the daily chart (if stronger resistances / supports are too far away).
Shows highs / lows of nearby "pivot" candles (higher high / lower low than both candles around) - depending on expected trade direction. Based on my experience these can be potential (albeit weak) resistance / support.
If it shows values only in the wrong trade direction: set a checkmark at "Invert bullish / bearish price targets" in the indicator settings
Also shows the ADR (blue line = yesterday's close MINUS Average Day Range) - which is helpful for Daytrades to see what price movement you could potentially expect for the day!
As a nice bonus it also shows gaps as yellow areas - in case you maybe missed them because you zoomed in / out too much on your daily chart.

VXN filtered CHOCH Pattern LevelsThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It identifies Change of Character (CHOCH) patterns on Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ) charts, using pivot points to detect potential trend reversals.
Signals (horizontal levels) are filtered by VXN background color: bullish levels only on green background, bearish on red.
If a CHOCH occurs on the wrong background, it is remembered (pending), and triggered when the background aligns. The last CHOCH signal is remembered to avoid wasting it.
It plots horizontal levels anchored to the extreme points of CHOCH patterns (lowest low for bullish, highest high for bearish), using the labeling and line-drawing style from the VXN Anchored VWAP indicator.
Lines are drawn as polylines (horizontal) with labels at the anchor point and current bar showing the level value.
The VXN index provides background color for market sentiment (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Historical levels are plotted semi-transparently when a new filtered signal is confirmed (on detection if aligned or on trigger).

Balanced Price Range (BPR) DetectorBALANCED PRICE RANGE (BPR) DETECTOR
This indicator detects Balanced Price Ranges (BPR) by analyzing the overlap between bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG). BPR zones represent areas where opposing market forces create equilibrium, often acting as strong support/resistance levels.
KEY FEATURES:
- Automatic detection of overlapping FVGs to form BPR zones
- Confidence scoring system (0-100%) based on overlap ratio, size, volume, and symmetry
- Customizable filters (ATR, Volume)
- Real-time mitigation tracking
- Alert system for new BPRs, mitigations, and rejections
- Visual customization options
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator continuously scans for Fair Value Gaps in both directions. When a bullish FVG overlaps with a bearish FVG within the specified lookback period, a BPR zone is created. The confidence score helps traders identify the strongest zones.
USAGE:
- High confidence BPRs (>75%) often act as strong reversal zones
- Use for entry/exit points when price approaches BPR zones
- Combine with other indicators for confirmation
- Monitor touch counts for zone strength validation
SETTINGS:
- Lookback Bars: Number of bars to search for overlapping FVGs
- Min Overlap Ratio: Minimum overlap percentage required
- ATR/Volume Filters: Filter out weak or low-volume BPRs
- Display Options: Customize visual appearance
- Mitigation Type: Choose between wick or close-based mitigation
Perfect for traders using price action, supply/demand zones, or institutional order flow concepts.

Swing Support and Resistance with Breakout AlertsOverview
The indicator is a custom Pine Script tool designed for TradingView that automatically identifies and plots Swing Highs (Resistance) and Swing Lows (Support). It dynamically draws horizontal lines at these key price reversal points, extending them forward until they are broken, which provides traders with visual, data-driven support and resistance levels. The indicator also includes customizable alerts to notify users when a breakout occurs.
Key features
Dynamic Swing Detection: The indicator automatically detects significant swing high and low points based on a user-adjustable "Swing Detection Length" parameter. This allows traders to fine-tune the sensitivity, focusing on either short-term swings or major market turning points. Swing Length Adjustable.
Adaptive Support and Resistance Zones: The script plots horizontal lines at the detected swing levels. These lines dynamically extend forward in time, acting as predictive support and resistance zones until the price convincingly breaks through them.
Historical Context: Once a support or resistance level is broken, the indicator can optionally keep the line on the chart but changes its appearance (e.g., to a dashed line). This allows traders to see how previous levels have held or been violated, as broken resistance often becomes new support and vice versa.
Customizable Breakout Alerts: A key feature is the ability to generate alerts. When the price closes above a recent resistance line or below a recent support line, a notification is triggered. This helps traders monitor potential breakouts in real-time.
Visual Clarity: Users can customize the colors and styles of the lines and labels to suit their preferences, making it easier to distinguish between different levels and maintain a clean chart.
How to use
This indicator is a powerful tool for technical analysis and can be used in several ways:
Identify Market Structure: It provides a clear, visual representation of a market's recent structure and key reversal points.
Develop Trading Strategies: It can form the basis of a breakout strategy by using the alert function to identify when a key level is broken.
Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels: The swing highs and lows act as natural reference points for placing stop-loss orders and potential profit targets.
Confirm Trend Reversals: A failure to make a new swing high or low while the price moves in that direction can be a sign of a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
Always use proper risk management and stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market moves against your trade.
Keep in mind that the provided indicator is a simple example based on the Swing Highs (Resistance) and Swing Lows (Support) concepts and should not be considered financial advice.
Traders often combine multiple concepts to develop their trading strategies. The provided indicator should be treated as a starting point to explore and implement in your trading strategy.

DZ/SZ 🔱BrahmastraDemand and Supply Zones:
Demand Zone:
A demand zone is a price area on a chart where buying interest is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further. It is typically formed when price drops to a level and then reverses upward with strong momentum. Traders consider it as an area where institutions or big players are likely to place buy orders.
👉 It represents support.
Supply Zone:
A supply zone is a price area where selling pressure exceeds buying pressure, causing the price to stop rising and reverse downward. It is created when price rallies to a level and then falls back sharply. This indicates the presence of sellers or institutional sell orders.
👉 It represents resistance.
🔑 Key Points:
Demand = potential buying area (support).
Supply = potential selling area (resistance).
These zones help traders identify entry and exit points.
The stronger and fresher the zone (untouched recently), the more reliable it tends to be.
Dual Channel System [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend-following and reversal detection system that constructs dynamic support and resistance channels using volatility-adjusted ATR calculations and EMA smoothing for optimal market structure analysis. Utilizing advanced dual-zone methodology with step-like boundary evolution, this indicator delivers institutional-grade channel analysis that adapts to varying volatility conditions while providing high-probability entry and exit signals through breakthrough and rejection detection with comprehensive visual mapping and alert integration.
🔶 Advanced Channel Construction
Implements dual-zone architecture using recent price extremes as foundation points, applying EMA smoothing to reduce noise and ATR multipliers for volatility-responsive channel widths. The system creates resistance channels from highest highs and support channels from lowest lows with asymmetric multiplier ratios for optimal market reaction zones.
// Core Channel Calculation Framework
ATR = ta.atr(14)
// Resistance Channel Construction
Resistance_Basis = ta.ema(ta.highest(high, lookback), lookback)
Resistance_Upper = Resistance_Basis + (ATR * resistance_mult)
Resistance_Lower = Resistance_Basis - (ATR * resistance_mult * 0.3)
// Support Channel Construction
Support_Basis = ta.ema(ta.lowest(low, lookback), lookback)
Support_Upper = Support_Basis + (ATR * support_mult * 0.4)
Support_Lower = Support_Basis - (ATR * support_mult)
// Smoothing Application
Smoothed_Resistance_Upper = ta.ema(Resistance_Upper, smooth_periods)
Smoothed_Support_Lower = ta.ema(Support_Lower, smooth_periods)
🔶 Volatility-Adaptive Zone Framework
Features dynamic ATR-based width adjustment that expands channels during high-volatility periods and contracts during consolidation phases, preventing false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts. The asymmetric multiplier system optimizes zone boundaries for realistic market behavior patterns.
// Dynamic Volatility Adjustment
Channel_Width_Resistance = ATR * resistance_mult
Channel_Width_Support = ATR * support_mult
// Asymmetric Zone Optimization
Resistance_Zone = Resistance_Basis ± (ATR_Multiplied * )
Support_Zone = Support_Basis ± (ATR_Multiplied * )
🔶 Step-Like Boundary Evolution
Creates horizontal step boundaries that update on smoothed bound changes, providing visual history of evolving support and resistance levels with performance-optimized array management limited to 50 historical levels for clean chart presentation and efficient processing.

Volume Profile + VAH, VAL, and POCWhat it is
A clean, on-chart volume profile that approximates your visible range using a configurable Bars Back window. It builds a horizontal histogram of volume by price, splits each price bin into Buy vs Sell volume, draws POC, and computes Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL). A Stealth Mode toggle switches to a subtle grayscale palette for low-key charts.
Why this instead of the built-in VPVR?
Buy/Sell split per bin: See which prices were defended by buyers vs sellers, not just total volume.
Value Area from POC outward: Classic expansion method until the selected % of total volume (default 70%).
Sleek borders & Stealth Mode: Crisp bin outlines and a one-click professional colorway.
Deterministic & fast: No sessions or anchors needed—set your Bars Back and go.
How it works (under the hood)
Window selection – Pine can’t read your viewport, so we approximate it with Bars Back (user input).
Binning – The window’s price range is divided into N bins.
Volume allocation – For each bar in the window:
Distribute Across Hi–Lo (optional): Spread volume across all bins the bar overlaps, weighted by overlap; or
Single-price mode: Assign all volume to one bin using a representative price (hlc3).
Buy/Sell split (two methods):
Body Proportional (recommended): Split by relative up/down body size (|close−open|).
Up/Down Candle: 100% buy if close ≥ open, else 100% sell.
POC & VA: Point of Control is the bin with max total volume. VAH/VAL expands from POC toward the higher-volume neighbor until the selected % of total volume is included.
Reading the visuals
Horizontal bars (right side): Total volume per price bin.
Left sub-segment = Sell volume
Right sub-segment = Buy volume
POC line: Price level with peak total volume.
VAH / VAL (dashed): Upper and lower bounds of the selected Value Area.
Borders: Each bin has a clean outer outline so the profile looks tight and organized.
Stealth Mode: Grayscale palette that preserves contrast without loud colors.
Key inputs (organized for clarity)
Theme
Stealth Mode: Toggles the grayscale look.
Core
Price Bins: Vertical resolution of the profile.
Lookback (Bars): Approximates your visible range.
Style
Profile Width (bars): How far the histogram extends to the right.
Bin Border Width: Outline thickness.
Markers & Lines
Show POC, Show VAH/VAL, Value Area %, VA line width.
Advanced
Distribute Volume Across Hi–Lo: More accurate, heavier compute.
Buy/Sell Split Method: Body Proportional (realistic) or Up/Down (simple).
Tips & best practices
Start with Body Proportional + Distribute Across ON for intraday accuracy.
If the chart lags, reduce Price Bins or Bars Back, or switch off distribution.
For small windows, fewer bins often looks cleaner (e.g., 30–60).
Stealth Mode plays nicely with both dark and light chart themes.
Limitations & notes
Viewport: Pine can’t access the actual visible bars; Bars Back is a practical stand-in.
Buy/Sell split: This is an approximation from candle bodies, not true bid/ask delta.
Designed for overlay; profile renders to the right of the latest bar.
Daily Levels (Open, Prev High/Low)A clean and lightweight indicator that automatically plots three key intraday levels: the Daily Open, the Previous Day's High (PDH), and the Previous Day's Low (PDL). Essential for identifying potential support, resistance, and daily market bias without cluttering your chart.
Overview
This indicator is designed to be a simple yet powerful tool for intraday traders. It automatically draws three of the most significant price levels that traders watch every day:
The Current Day's Opening Price
The Previous Day's High (PDH)
The Previous Day's Low (PDL)
By having these levels plotted automatically, you can keep your charts clean and focus on your strategy instead of manually drawing lines every new trading session.
Key Features
Dynamic Daily Open Line: This line represents the opening price of the current session. It dynamically changes color to give you an at-a-glance view of the daily sentiment.
Green: Current price is trading above the daily open (Bullish sentiment).
Red: Current price is trading below the daily open (Bearish sentiment).
Gray: Current price is at the open.
Previous Day's High (PDH): A line marking the highest price reached during the prior trading session. This level frequently acts as a key resistance point.
Previous Day's Low (PDL): A line marking the lowest price reached during the prior trading session. This level often serves as a key support area.
How to Use This Indicator
These levels are fundamental to many intraday trading strategies:
Identify Support & Resistance: Use PDH and PDL as natural areas to watch for price reactions. A break above PDH can signal strong bullish momentum, while a break below PDL can indicate strong bearish momentum.
Gauge Market Bias: Trading above the Daily Open is often considered bullish for the day, while trading below it is considered bearish. This can help you filter trades to align with the dominant intraday trend.
Set Entries & Exits: Look for confirmation signals (like candlestick patterns or other indicator signals) when the price interacts with these levels. They can also be logical areas for placing stop-losses or take-profit targets.
Customization
The indicator is fully customizable to fit your charting style:
Toggle the visibility of the Daily Open and the PDH/PDL lines.
Adjust the colors and line widths for each level.
This tool helps you stay focused on the levels that matter most for day trading.
SMC - Institutional Confidence Oscillator [PhenLabs]📊 Institutional Confidence Oscillator
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Institutional Confidence Oscillator (ICO) revolutionizes market analysis by automatically detecting and evaluating institutional activity at key support and resistance levels using our own in-house detection system. This sophisticated indicator combines volume analysis, volatility measurements, and mathematical confidence algorithms to provide real-time readings of institutional sentiment and zone strength.

Smart Money Trades Pro [BOSWaves]Smart Money Trades Pro – Advanced Market Structure & Liquidity Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Trades Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed for traders seeking an in-depth understanding of market structure, liquidity dynamics, and institutional flow. The indicator systematically identifies key market turning points, including break of structure (BOS) and change of character (CHoCH) events, and overlays these with adaptive visualizations to highlight high-probability trade setups. By integrating ATR-based risk zones, progressive take-profit levels, and real-time trade analytics, Smart Money Trades Pro transforms complex price action into an interpretable framework suitable for multiple trading styles, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
Unlike traditional static indicators, Smart Money Trades Pro adapts continuously to market conditions. It evaluates swing highs and lows over a configurable lookback period, then determines structural breaks using customizable confirmation methods (candle body or wick). The resulting signals are augmented with dynamic entry, stop-loss, and target levels, allowing traders to analyze potential trade opportunities with both precision and context. The indicator’s design ensures that each visual element—trend-colored candles, signal markers, and risk/reward boxes—reflects real-time market conditions, offering an actionable interpretation of institutional activity.
How It Works
The indicator’s foundation is built upon market structure analysis. By calculating pivot highs and lows over a specified period, Smart Money Trades Pro identifies potential points of liquidity accumulation and exhaustion. When price breaks a pivot high or low, the indicator evaluates whether this constitutes a BOS or a CHoCH, signaling trend continuation or reversal. These events are marked on the chart with distinct visual cues, allowing traders to quickly discern shifts in market sentiment without manually analyzing historical price action.
Once a structural break is confirmed, the indicator automatically determines entry levels, stop-loss placements, and progressive take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3). These calculations are based on ATR-derived volatility, ensuring that targets scale with current market conditions. Risk and reward zones are plotted as shaded boxes, providing a clear visual representation of potential profit relative to risk for each trade setup. This system allows traders to maintain discipline and consistency, with dynamic trade management baked directly into the visualization.
Trend direction is further reinforced by color-coded candles, which reflect the prevailing market bias. Bullish trends are represented by one color, bearish trends by another, and neutral conditions are displayed in muted tones. This continuous visual feedback simplifies the process of trend assessment and helps confirm the validity of trade setups alongside BOS and CHoCH markers.
Signals and Breakouts
Smart Money Trades Pro includes structured visual signals to indicate actionable price movements:
Bullish Break Signals – Triangular markers below the candle appear when a swing high is broken, suggesting potential long opportunities.
Bearish Break Signals – Triangular markers above the candle appear when a swing low is broken, indicating potential short setups.
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Special markers highlight trend reversals, showing where momentum shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
These markers are strategically spaced to prevent overlap and remain clear during high-volatility periods. Traders can use them in combination with trend-colored candles, risk/reward zones, and ATR-based targets to assess the strength and reliability of each setup. The integrated table provides live trade information, including entry price, stop-loss level, take-profit levels, risk/reward ratio, and trade direction, ensuring that trade decisions are informed and data-driven.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : The indicator’s trend coloring, combined with BOS and CHoCH detection, provides an immediate view of market direction. Rising structures indicate bullish momentum, while falling structures signal bearish momentum. CHoCH markers highlight potential trend reversals or significant liquidity sweeps.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : ATR-based calculations determine stop-loss distances and target levels, giving a quantitative measure of risk relative to market volatility. Wide ATR readings indicate periods of high price fluctuation, whereas narrow readings suggest consolidation and reduced risk exposure.
Market Structure Insights : By monitoring swing highs and lows alongside break confirmations, traders can identify where institutional players are likely active. Areas with multiple structural breaks or overlapping targets can indicate liquidity hotspots, potential reversal zones, or areas of market congestion.
Trade Management : The built-in trade zones allow traders to visualize entry, risk, and reward simultaneously. Progressive targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) reflect incremental profit-taking strategies, while dynamic stop-loss levels help preserve capital during adverse moves.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Trades Pro supports a range of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of confirmed BOS while using CHoCH markers and trend-colored candles to validate momentum.
Pullback Entries : Use failed breakout retests or minor reversals toward broken structure levels for lower-risk entries.
Mean Reversion : In consolidated zones with narrow ATR and repeated BOS/CHoCH activity, anticipate reversals or short-term corrective moves.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Overlay signals on higher or lower timeframes to filter noise and improve trade accuracy.
Stop-loss levels should be placed just beyond the opposing structural point, while take-profit targets can be scaled using the ATR-based zones. Progressive targets allow for partial exits or scaling out of trades while maintaining exposure to larger moves.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking greater precision can combine Smart Money Trades Pro with volume, momentum, or volatility indicators to validate signals. Observing sequences of BOS and CHoCH markers across multiple timeframes provides insight into liquidity accumulation and depletion trends. Tracking the expansion or contraction of ATR-based zones helps anticipate shifts in volatility, enabling better timing for entries and exits.
Customizing the structure period and confirmation type allows the indicator to adapt to different asset classes and timeframes. Shorter periods increase sensitivity to smaller swings, while longer periods filter noise and emphasize higher-probability structural breaks. By integrating these features, the indicator offers a robust statistical framework for disciplined, data-driven trading decisions.

Multi HTF High/Low LevelsThis indicator plots the previous high and low from up to four user-defined higher timeframes (HTF), providing crucial levels of support and resistance. It's designed to be both powerful and clean, giving you a clear view of the market structure from multiple perspectives without cluttering your chart.
Key Features:
Four Customizable Timeframes: Configure up to four distinct higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, Weekly) to see the levels that matter most to your trading style.
Automatic Visibility: The indicator is smart. It automatically hides levels from any timeframe that is lower than your current chart's timeframe. For example, if you're viewing a Daily chart, the 4-hour levels won't be shown.
Clean On-Chart Lines: The high and low for each timeframe are displayed as clean, extended horizontal lines, but only for the duration of the current higher-timeframe period. This keeps your historical chart clean while still showing the most relevant current levels.
Persistent Price Scale Labels: For easy reference, the price of each high and low is always visible on the price scale and in the data window. This is achieved with an invisible plot, giving you the accessibility of a plot without the visual noise.
How to Use:
Go into the indicator settings.
Under each "Timeframe" group, check the "Show" box to enable that specific timeframe.
Select your desired timeframe from the dropdown menu.
The indicator will automatically calculate and display the previous high and low for each enabled timeframe.
Pivot Hunter Pro [MOT]Pivot Hunter Pro - Dynamic Support & Resistance
Pivot Hunter Pro is an advanced tool for identifying and tracking meaningful support and resistance levels in real-time. Unlike traditional indicators that plot static lines and quickly clutter a chart, this script uses a dynamic methodology to draw, update, and invalidate levels based on ongoing price action. The result is a cleaner, more adaptive, and relevant view of the market structure that evolves with the current trend.
The originality of this script is centered on its "level lifecycle" management system. New levels, identified via a unique price action slope analysis, are not simply plotted and forgotten; they are continuously evaluated against a set of rules for spacing, validation, and expiration. This ensures that only the most relevant support and resistance zones remain on the chart, helping traders focus on what matters now.
METHODOLOGY & CORE CONCEPTS
1. Initial Level Detection via Price Action Slope
The foundation of the script is a detection engine that analyzes the slope of recent candle highs and lows to identify market turning points. Instead of using a smoothed moving average or a fixed pivot lookback, it examines the raw structure of price action. A resistance level is identified at the peak of a series of higher highs, precisely at the point where a lower high forms, indicating a potential shift in momentum. Conversely, a support level is marked at the trough of a series of lower lows, at the exact point where a higher low occurs. This method provides the initial, raw data for potential support and resistance, which then feeds into the script's more advanced management logic.
2. Dynamic Level Management & Originality
This is the core engine of the script. Once a potential level is identified, it is subjected to a series of unique filtering and management rules that define its lifecycle on the chart.
Internal Level Validation: Before a new major level is drawn, the script internally identifies all smaller, "temporary" swing points that have formed since the last major level. It then validates that the path beyond the new level is clear. For a breakout strategy, this is critical. A new support level will only be plotted if there are no minor support levels immediately below it. Similarly, a resistance level is only drawn if there is no minor resistance just above it. This logic is designed to ensure that when a level breaks, there is a clear path for price to travel, rather than breaking one level only to be immediately stopped by a hidden, intermediate one.
This screenshot shows the script's internal validation logic. It's not plotting a new support line because it has detected several minor, intermediate levels that are too close together, which could act as reversal points and create a false breakout signal.
Price Spacing Filter: A new level will only be drawn if it is a minimum user-defined distance away from all other existing levels. This is a crucial feature for preventing chart clutter in choppy or consolidating markets. It intelligently ignores minor, less significant turning points that form too close to already established zones.
Level Invalidation Logic: A support or resistance line is automatically removed from the chart if the price closes beyond it for a specific number of consecutive bars (default is 3). This rule is designed to clear out broken levels that are no longer being respected by the market, keeping the analysis current.
Level Adjustment Logic: If price pokes through a level but fails to close beyond it (e.g., a long wick creating a "false breakout"), the script doesn't immediately discard the level. Instead, it intelligently adjusts the level to the new wick high/low. This action effectively "strengthens" the zone, updating it to reflect the most current price rejection point.

Dominant Level Re-Scan: Levels are designed to be timely, so they expire after a set number of bars ("Clear Levels After"). When a level expires due to age, the script performs a lookback over that entire window to identify the single most significant, "dominant" high or low from that period and plots it as a new level. This ensures the chart adapts to the most powerful swing points over time.
3. Breakout Signal Generation The script generates simple breakout signals to alert traders when a level is breached with conviction.
Condition: A signal is triggered when the high of a candle crosses above a resistance level or the low of a candle crosses below a support level.
Breakout Buffer: To reduce false signals from minor breaches, a user-defined "Buffer" (in points) must be cleared. The price must move beyond the level by this extra amount for the signal to be considered valid, indicating stronger momentum.

FEATURES & CUSTOMIZATION
Level Management: Control the "Clear Levels After" window to define how long levels persist and the "Minimum Level Spacing" to adjust the indicator's sensitivity.
Visual Styling: Full customization of line colors, width, and the size, color, and positioning of price labels.
Breakout Signals: Enable or disable breakout signal labels, configure the breakout buffer distance, and choose from a variety of preset icons (or custom text).
Backtest Mode: An option to keep all historical signals and labels visible on the chart for strategy review and use with TradingView's Bar Replay feature.

ALERTS
The script includes two alert conditions that can be configured in the TradingView "Alerts" panel for real-time notifications.
Pivot Hunter Pro — Break UP: Triggers when the price breaks above a resistance level plus the buffer.
Pivot Hunter Pro — Break DOWN: Triggers when the price breaks below a support level minus the buffer.
HOW TO USE & BEST PRACTICES
Interpreting Levels: Treat the plotted lines as key decision zones. As price approaches a resistance level, look for signs of rejection for a potential short, or consolidation for a potential breakout. The opposite is true for support levels.
Breakout Confirmation: The breakout signals are a starting point. For higher probability trades, confirm a breakout signal with other factors, such as a significant increase in volume or a candlestick pattern that supports the move.
Timeframe: The indicator is most effective on intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute) where multiple swing points develop throughout a session. On very high timeframes, fewer levels will be generated.
Markets: Works best on assets that exhibit clear swing structures and respect technical levels, such as major indices, forex pairs, and high-volume stocks. It may be less effective in very low-volatility or choppy markets.
Adjusting Sensitivity: In volatile markets, increase the "Minimum Level Spacing" to filter out more noise. In quieter markets, you can decrease it to detect more subtle levels.
