16. SMC Strategy with SL - low TimeframeOverview
The "SMC Strategy with SL - low Timeframe" is a comprehensive trading strategy that uses key concepts from Smart Money Theory to identify favorable areas in the market for buying or selling. This strategy takes advantage of price imbalances, support and resistance zones, and swing highs/lows to generate high-probability trade signals.
The key features of this strategy include:
Swing High/Low Analysis: Used to determine the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones.
Order Block Integration: An added layer of confluence to identify valid buy and sell signals.
Trend Direction Confirmation: Using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the overall trend.
Entry and Exit Rules: Based on price position relative to key zones and moving average, along with optional stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Detailed Description
Swing High and Swing Low Analysis
The script calculates Swing High and Swing Low based on the most recent price highs and lows over a specified look-back period (swingHighLength and swingLowLength, set to 8 by default).
It then derives the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones:
Premium Zone: Represents potential resistance, calculated based on recent swing highs.
Discount Zone: Represents potential support, calculated based on recent swing lows.
Equilibrium: The midpoint between Swing High and Swing Low, dividing the price range into Premium (above equilibrium) and Discount (below equilibrium) areas.
Zone Visualization
The strategy plots the Premium Zone (resistance) in red, the Discount Zone (support) in green, and the Equilibrium level in blue on the chart. This helps visually assess the current price relative to these important areas.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is added to help identify the trend direction.
Buy signals are valid only if the price is above the SMA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals are valid only if the price is below the SMA, indicating a downtrend.
Entry Rules
The script generates buy or sell signals when certain conditions are met:
A buy signal is triggered when:
Price is below the Equilibrium and within the Discount Zone.
Price is above the SMA.
The buy signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent lowest price area).
A sell signal is triggered when:
Price is above the Equilibrium and within the Premium Zone.
Price is below the SMA.
The sell signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent highest price area).
Order Block
The strategy defines Order Blocks as recent highs and lows within a look-back period (orderBlockLength set to 20 by default).
These blocks represent areas where large players (smart money) have historically been active, increasing the probability of the price reacting in these areas again.
Trade Management and Trade Direction
The user can set Trade Direction to either "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both." This allows the strategy to adapt based on market conditions or trading preferences.
Based on the Trade Direction, the strategy either:
Closes open trades that are against new signals.
Allows only specific directional trades (either long or short).
Stop-loss levels are defined based on a fixed percentage (stop_loss_percent), which helps to manage risk and minimize losses.
Exit Rules
The strategy uses stop-loss levels for risk management.
A stop-loss price is set at a fixed percentage below the entry price for long positions or above the entry price for short positions.
When the price hits the defined stop-loss level, the trade is closed.
Liquidity Zones
The script identifies recent Swing Highs and Lows as potential liquidity zones. These are levels where price could react strongly, as they represent areas of interest for large traders.
The liquidity zones are plotted as crosses on the chart, marking areas where price may encounter significant buying or selling pressure.
Visual Feedback
The script uses visual markers (green for buy signals and red for sell signals) to indicate potential entries on the chart.
It also plots liquidity zones to help traders identify areas where stop hunts and liquidity grabs might occur.
Monthly Performance Dashboard
The script includes a performance tracking feature that displays monthly profit and loss metrics on the chart.
This dashboard allows the trader to see a visual representation of trading performance over time, providing insights into profitability and consistency.
The table shows profit or loss for each month and year, allowing the user to track the overall success of the strategy.
Key Benefits
Smart Money Concepts (SMC): This strategy incorporates SMC principles like order blocks and liquidity zones, which are used by institutional traders to determine potential market moves.
Zone Analysis: The use of Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones provides a solid framework for determining where to enter and exit trades based on price discounts or premiums.
Confluence: Signals are not taken in isolation. They are confirmed by factors like trend direction (SMA) and order blocks, providing greater trade accuracy.
Risk Management: By integrating stop-loss functionality, traders can manage their risks effectively.
Visual Performance Metrics: The monthly and yearly performance dashboard gives valuable feedback on how well the strategy has performed historically.
Practical Use
Buy in Discount Zone: Traders would be looking to buy when the price is discounted relative to its recent range and is above the SMA, indicating an overall uptrend.
Sell in Premium Zone: Conversely, traders would be looking to sell when the price is at a premium relative to its recent range and below the SMA, indicating an overall downtrend.
Order Block Confirmation: Ensures that buying or selling is supported by historical price behavior at significant levels, providing confidence that the market is likely to react at these areas.
This strategy is designed to help traders take advantage of price inefficiencies and areas where institutional traders are likely to be active, increasing the odds of successful trades. By leveraging Smart Money concepts and strong technical confluence, it aims to provide high-probability trade setups.

Order blocksHi all!
This indicator will show you found order blocks that can be used as supply or demand. It's my take on trying to create good order blocks and I hope it makes sense.
First off I suggest to verify the current trend before using an order block. This can be done in a variety of ways, one way could be to use my other script "Market structure" () which I use and suggest.
You can configure the indicator to behave differently depending on settings. These are the settings available:
• The order blocks created can be found in any higher timeframe defined in "Timeframe"
• The number of active order blocks are defined in "Count". If an order block is found the earliest order block will be replaced
• You can choose the type of order blocks that are found ("Bullish", "Bearish " or "Both") in "Type"
• The old order blocks can be kept if "Keep history" is checked
• Order blocks that are found are not removed when mitigated (entered) but when a new one appears. They can be removed when they are broken by price if "Remove broken zones" are checked
There is also a setting section called "Requirements" that defines what is required for an order block to be created. These are the settings:
• "Take out"
Check this if you want the base of the order block (the candle where the zone is drawn from (high and low)) to have to take out the previous candle (be higher or lower depending if the order block is bullish or bearish).
• "Consecutive rising/falling"
Each following candle in the reaction (the 3 reaction candles) needs to reach higher or lower (depending on bullish or bearish). Check this if you want that to be true.
• "Reaction"
Some sort of reaction is needed from the 3 candles creating the order block. This reaction is based on the value of the Average True Length (ATR) of length 14. You can here define a factor of the value from the ATR that these 3 candles needs to move in price. A higher need for a reaction (higher factor of the ATR) will create lesser zones. You can also choose to show this limit with the checkbox.
• "Fair Value Gap"
The reaction needs to create a gap (imbalance) in price. This gap is known as a "Fair Value Gap" and is created when the last candle's wick does not meet with the base candle's wick. Check this if you want this to be needed.
After these settings you can also choose the colors of the created zones. The ones that are active (called "Zones"), the ones that are replaced ("Replaced zones") and the ones that are broken ("Broken zones") (if this is enabled in "Remove broken zones").
I'm using my library "Touched" to be able to show you labels when the order blocks have a retest, false breakout and breakout. These labels can be hidden if you disable the labels under the style tab in the indicator settings.
The concept of order blocks is widely used among traders and can provide you with good supply or demand zones. I hope that this indicator makes sense.
My todo-list has a few things, but top of that list is adding alerts for zone interactions or creations. Please feel free to say what you want to be coded!
The order blocks in the publication chart are found in weekly timeframe but are shown on the daily timeframe. Other than that the image shows you zones from the default settings (which are based on the daily timeframe).
Best of luck trading!

Dynamic Support and Resistance by HCDuranThis indicator dynamically plots support and resistance levels based on price action. It calculates the strongest support and resistance levels using the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, and visualizes these levels with different colors. Strong support and resistance are marked in **green** and **red** respectively, while **mid-range** support and resistance levels are displayed in **yellow**.
### Features:
- **Strong Support (Green):** The lowest price level over the last 50 bars.
- **Strong Resistance (Red):** The highest price level over the last 50 bars.
- **Mid Support (Yellow):** A support level above the strong support but below the resistance range.
- **Mid Resistance (Yellow):** A resistance level below the strong resistance but above the support range.
### Usage:
1. **Support and Resistance:** The indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance levels based on the most recent price action over a specified lookback period (e.g., 50 bars). These levels are then plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
2. **Alerts:** Alerts are triggered when the price crosses below the strong support or above the strong resistance. This can be useful for identifying potential breakouts or reversals.
### Help for Users:
This indicator helps to identify potential price reversal points by plotting dynamic support and resistance levels. Strong support or resistance levels can indicate areas where the price is likely to reverse, while mid-range levels can provide additional insights into price trends and ranges.
**Note:** The performance of this indicator may vary depending on the selected lookback period and time frame. It is recommended to experiment with different timeframes to see how the indicator performs under various market conditions.

Fibonacci Moving Average PlusFibonacci Moving Average Plus is a sophisticated technical indicator that employs the first 15 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence to create dynamic moving average channels. This indicator aims to capture both immediate and long-term price movements by calculating Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on these Fibonacci values. By using Fibonacci-based moving averages for both high and low price points, the indicator generates a visual channel that reflects the ebb and flow of market trends, acting as potential zones of support and resistance. Additionally, the indicator provides midline, retracement, and extension levels rooted in Fibonacci ratios, which are frequently observed as key levels for reversals or trend continuation.
Ideology Behind Using Fibonacci Sequence-Based Moving Averages
The Fibonacci sequence, known for its mathematical harmony and prevalence in natural patterns, is widely utilized in technical analysis to identify potential turning points in markets. In this indicator, the first 15 Fibonacci numbers (5, 8, 13, 21, etc.) are used as the lookback periods for EMAs to capture different layers of market sentiment. These moving averages represent timeframes that are theoretically in alignment with the natural rhythms of market cycles, where key levels—often coinciding with Fibonacci numbers—can act as magnetic points for price.
The Fibonacci high and low channels aim to encapsulate price action, giving traders a sense of whether the market is trending, consolidating, or experiencing reversal pressure. These levels, grounded in both mathematics and market psychology, help traders spot areas where price might face resistance or find support.
Key Features
Fibonacci Moving Average High and Low: This indicator calculates the high and low EMAs based on Fibonacci sequence numbers (e.g., 5, 8, 13, etc.) for enhanced trend analysis.
Golden Pocket Retracement (GPR) and Extension (GPE) Bands: Displays common Fibonacci retracement and extension levels (0.618, 0.65 for retracement, and 1.618, 1.65 for extension).
Midline: Plots the average of the Fibonacci high and low to act as an additional reference level.
Stop-Loss Levels: Provides suggested stop-loss levels based on Fibonacci levels for both long and short positions.
Basic User Guide
Adjust Input Settings:
Input Timeframe: Set a specific timeframe for the Fibonacci moving average calculation, separate from the chart's primary timeframe.
Show Fibonacci MA High/Low: Toggle the visibility of the high and low Fibonacci moving averages.
Show Mid Line: Display a midline for added trend reference.
Show Golden Pocket Bands: Choose to display retracement or extension bands for potential support or resistance zones.
Show Stop-Loss Levels: Enable to visualize potential stop-loss levels for both long and short trades.
Interpretation:
Fibonacci MA High and Low: Use these lines to gauge the general trend. When the price is above both, it may indicate an uptrend; below both, a downtrend.
Golden Pocket Retracement: This zone (between 0.618 and 0.65) is often a key level for potential reversals or support/resistance.
Golden Pocket Extension: The 1.618 and 1.65 levels can indicate potential profit-taking or trend exhaustion points.
Stop-Loss Levels: The calculated stop-loss levels (long SL below and short SL above) can aid in risk management.
Customization:
You can customize the appearance and visibility of each component through the input settings to fit your specific strategy and visual preferences.
This indicator should be used alongside other technical analysis tools to provide a more comprehensive trading approach.

Dollar Cost Averaging (YavuzAkbay)The Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) indicator is designed to support long-term investors following a Dollar Cost Averaging strategy. The core aim of this tool is to provide insights into overbought and oversold levels, assisting investors in managing buy and sell decisions with a clear visual cue system. Specifically developed for use in trending or fluctuating markets, this indicator leverages support and resistance levels to give structure to investors' buying strategies. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the indicator’s key features and intended usage:
Key Features and Color Coding
Overbought/Oversold Detection:
The indicator shades candles from light green to dark green when an asset becomes increasingly overbought. Dark green signals indicate a peak, where the asset is overbought, suggesting a potential opportunity to take partial profits.
Conversely, candles turn from light red to dark red when the market is oversold. Dark red signifies a heavily oversold condition, marking an ideal buying window for initiating or adding to a position. This color scheme provides a quick visual reference for investors to manage entries and exits effectively.
Support and Resistance Levels:
To address the risk of assets falling further after an overbought signal, the DCA indicator dynamically calculates support and resistance levels. These levels guide investors on key price areas to watch for potential price reversals, allowing them to make more informed buying or selling decisions.
Support levels help investors assess whether they should divide their capital across multiple buy orders, starting at the current oversold zone and extending to anticipated support zones for maximum flexibility.
Usage Methodology
This indicator is intended for Dollar Cost Averaging, a method where investors gradually add to their position rather than entering all at once. Here’s how it complements the DCA approach:
Buy at Oversold Levels: When the indicator shows a dark red candle, it signals that the asset is oversold, marking an optimal entry point. The presence of support levels can help investors determine if they should fully invest their intended amount or stagger buys at potential lower levels.
Sell at Overbought Levels: When the indicator transitions to dark green, it suggests that the asset is overbought. This is an ideal time to consider selling a portion of holdings to realize gains. The resistance levels, marked by the indicator, offer guidance on where the price may encounter selling pressure, aiding investors in planning partial exits.
Customizable Settings
The DCA indicator offers several user-adjustable parameters:
Pivot Frequency and Source: Define the pivot point frequency and the source (candle wick or body) for more tailored support/resistance detection.
Maximum Pivot Points: Set the maximum number of pivot points to be used in support/resistance calculations, providing flexibility in adapting to different market structures.
Channel Width and Line Width: Adjust the width of the channel for support/resistance levels and the thickness of the lines for easier visual tracking.
Color Intensities for Overbought/Oversold Levels: Customize the shading intensity for each overbought and oversold level to align with your trading preferences.
Sentient FLDOverview of the FLD
The Future Line of Demarcation (FLD) was first proposed by JM Hurst in the 1970s as a cycle analysis tool. It is a smoothed median price plotted on a time-based chart, and displaced into the future (to the right on the chart). The amount of displacement is determined by performing a cycle analysis, the line then plotted to extend beyond the right hand edge of the chart by half a cycle wavelength.
Interactions between price and the FLD
As price action unfolds, price interacts with the FLD line, either by crossing over the line, or by finding support or resistance at the line.
Targets
When price crosses an FLD a target for the price move is generated. The target consists of a price level and also expected time.
When price reaches that target it is an indication that the cycle influencing price to move up or down has completed that action and is about to turn around.
If price fails to reach a target by the expected time, it indicates bullish or bearish pressure from longer cycles, and a change in mood of the market.
Sequence of interactions
Price interacts with the FLD in a regular sequence of 8 interactions which are labelled using the letters A - H, in alphabetical order. This sequence of interactions occurs between price and a cycle called the Signal cycle. The full sequence plays out over a single wave of a longer cycle, called the Sequence cycle. The interactions are:
A category interaction is where price crosses above the FLD as it rises out of a trough of the Sequence cycle.
B & C category interactions often occur together as a pair, where price comes back to the FLD line and finds support at the level of the FLD as the first trough of the Signal cycle forms.
D category interaction is where price crosses below the FLD as it falls towards the second trough of the Signal cycle.
E category interaction is where price crosses above the FLD again as it rises out of the second trough of the Signal cycle.
F category interaction is where price crosses below the FLD as it falls towards the next trough of the Sequence cycle.
G & H category interactions often occur together as a pair, where price comes back to the FLD line and finds resistance at the level of the FLD before a final move down into the next Sequence cycle trough.
Trading Opportunities
This sequence of interactions provides the trader with trading opportunities:
A and E category interactions involve price crossing over the FLD line, for a long trading opportunity.
D and F category interactions involve price crossing below the FLD line, for a short trading opportunity.
B and C category interactions occur where price finds support at the FLD, another long trading opportunity.
G and H category interactions occur where price finds resistance at the FLD, another short trading opportunity.
3 FLD Lines Plotted
The Sentient FLD indicator plots three FLD lines, for three primary cycles on your time-based charts:
The Signal cycle (pink color, can be changed in the settings), which is used to generate trading signals on the basis of the sequence of interactions between price and the FLD
The Mid cycle (orange color, can be changed in the settings), which is used for confirmation of the signals from the signal cycle FLD.
The Sequence cycle (green color, can be changed in the settings) which is the cycle over which the entire A - H sequence of interactions plays out.
Cycle Analysis
In addition to plotting the three FLD lines, the Sentient FLD indicator performs a cycle phasing analysis and identifies the positions of the troughs of five cycles on your chart (The Signal, Mid & Sequence cycles and two longer cycles for determining the underlying trend).
The results of this analysis are plotted by using diamond symbols to mark the timing of past troughs of the cycles, and circles to mark the timing of the next expected troughs, with lines extending to each side to represent the range of time in which the trough is expected to form. These are called circles-and-whiskers. The diamonds are stacked vertically because the troughs are synchronized in time. The circles-and-whiskers therefore are also stacked, creating a nest-of-lows which is a high probability period for a trough to form.
Identifying the Interactions
The Sentient FLD also identifies the interactions between price and each one of the three FLDs plotted on your chart, and those interactions are labelled so that you can keep track of the unfolding A - H sequence.
Next Expected Interaction
Because the Sentient FLD is able to identify the sequence of interactions, it is also able to identify the next expected interaction between price and the FLD. This enables you to anticipate levels of support or resistance, or acceleration levels where price is expected to cross through the FLD.
Cycle Table
A cycle table is displayed on the chart (position can be changed in settings). The cycle table comprises 6 columns:
The Cycle Name (CYCLE): the name of the cycle which is its nominal wavelength in words.
The Nominal Wavelength (NM): The nominal wavelength of the cycle measured in bars.
The Current Wavelength (CR): The current recent wavelength of the cycle measured in bars.
The Variation (VAR): The variation between the nominal wavelength and current wavelength as a percentage (%).
The relevant Sequence Cycle (SEQ): The cycle over which the sequence of interactions with this FLD plays out.
The Mode (MODE): Whether the cycle is currently Bearish, Neutral or Bullish.
Benefits of using the Sentient FLD
The cycle analysis shown with diamonds and circles marking the troughs, and next expected troughs of the cycles enable you to anticipate the timing of market turns (troughs and peaks in the price), because of the fact that cycles, by definition, repeat with some regularity.
The results of the cycle analysis are also displayed on your chart in a table, and enable you to understand at a glance what the current mode of each cycle is, whether bullish, bearish or neutral.
The identification of the sequence of interactions between price and the FLD enables you to anticipate the next interaction, and thereby expect either a price cross of the FLD or dynamic levels of support and resistance at the levels of the FLD lines, only visible to the FLD trader.
When the next expected interaction between price and the FLD is an acceleration point (price is expected to cross over the FLD), that level can be used as a signal for entry into a trade.
Similarly when the next expected interaction between price and the FLD is either support or resistance, that level can be used as a signal for entry into a trade when price reacts as expected, finding support or resistance.
The targets that are generated as a result of price crossing the FLD represent cycle exhaustion levels and times, and can be used as take profit exits, or as levels after which stops should be tightened.
The indicator optionally also calculates targets for longer timeframes, and displays them on your chart providing useful context for the influence of longer cycles without needing to change timeframe.
Example
In this image you can see an example of the different aspects of the indicator working on a 5 minute chart (details below):
This is what the indicator shows:
The 3 FLD lines are for the 100 minute (pink), 3 hour (orange) and 6 hour (green) cycles (refer to the cycle table for the cycle names).
Previous targets can be seen, shown as pointed labels, with the same colors.
The cycle table at the bottom left of the chart is colour coded, and indicates that the cycles are all currently running a bit long, by about 14%.
Note also the grey-colored 6 hour target generated by the 15 x minute timeframe at 12:20. When targets are close together their accuracy is enhanced.
At the foot of the chart we can see a collection of circles-and-whiskers in a nest-of-lows, indicating that a 12 hour cycle trough has been due to form in the past hour.
The past interactions between price and the signal cycle are labelled and we can see the sequence of E (with some +E post-interaction taps), F and then G-H.
The next interaction between price and the signal is the A category interaction - a long trading opportunity as price bounces out of the 12 hour cycle trough.
Notice the green upward pointing triangles on the FLD lines, indicating that they are expected to provide acceleration points, where price will cross over the FLD and move towards a target above the FLD.
The cycle table shows that the cycles of 6 hours and longer are all expected to be bullish (with the 12 hour cycle neutral to bullish).
On the basis that we are expecting a 12 hour trough to form, and the 6 hour cycle targets have been reached, and the next interaction with the signal cycle is an A category acceleration point, we can plan to enter into a long trade.

The expected 12 hour cycle trough has been confirmed in the cycle analysis, and now displayed as a stack of diamonds at 12:25
Price did cross over the signal cycle FLD (the 100 minute cycle, pink FLD line) as expected. That price cross is labelled as an A category interaction at 13:00.
A 100 minute target was generated. That target was almost, but not quite reached in terms of price, indicating that the move out of the 12 hour cycle trough is not quite as bullish as would be expected (remember the 12 hour cycle is expected to be neutral-bullish). The time element of the target proved accurate however with a peak forming at the expected time. Stops could have been tightened at that time.
Notice that price then came back to the signal FLD (100 minute) line at the time that the next 100 minute cycle trough was expected (see the pink circle-and-whiskers between 13:40 and 14:25, with the circle at 14:05.
Price found support (as was expected) when it touched the signal FLD at 13:55 and 14:00, and that interaction has been labelled as a B-C category interaction pair.
We also have a 3 hour target above us at about 6,005. That could be a good target for the move.
Another 2 hours later
This screenshot shows the situation another 2 hours later:
Notes:
We can see that the 100 minute cycle trough has been confirmed at 13:45
The nest-of-lows marking the time the 3 hour cycle trough was expected is between 15:00 and 15:45, with a probable trough in price at 15:00
The sequence of interactions is labelled: A at 13:00; B-C at 14:00; another B-C (double B-C interactions are common) at 14:30; E at 15:10; +E (a post E tap) at 16:20
Price has just reached a cluster of targets at 6005 - 6006. The 3 hour target we noted before, as well as a 6 hour target and a 12 hour target from the 15 x minute timeframe.
Notice how after those targets were achieved, price has exhausted its upward move, and has turned down.
The next expected interaction with the signal cycle FLD is an F category interaction. The downward pointing red triangles on the line indicate that the interaction is expected to be a price cross down, as price moves down into the next 6 hour cycle trough.
Other Details
The Sentient FLD indicator works on all time-based charts from 10 seconds up to monthly.
The indicator works on all actively traded instruments, including forex, stocks, indices, commodities, metals and crypto.
Support and Resistance MTF [Cometreon]Support and Resistance is an advanced indicator that automatically plots key support and resistance levels on any symbol and timeframe, including higher ones. This innovative tool employs sophisticated algorithms to continuously analyze market data, identifying and drawing levels on the chart in real-time. By offering traders an immediate and clear view of critical market areas, Support and Resistance optimizes the decision-making process and eliminates time spent on manual analysis.
Key Features:
Automatic Level Identification: The indicator automatically plots all support and resistance levels, providing a clear map of key points on the chart.
Historical Visualization: Shows historical support and resistance levels, providing a comprehensive view of the market over time.
Dynamic Trend Creation: Automatically identifies and updates trends based on levels, simplifying the understanding of market directions.
Automatic Fibonacci: Generates Fibonacci levels based on the last two support and resistance levels, offering additional reference points for potential price retracements or extensions.
Customizable Alerts: Offers a series of configurable alerts to keep you informed about breakouts, new confirmed levels, and price bounces on active levels.
Technical Details and Customizable Inputs:
Support and Resistance offers a range of customizable settings that allow adapting the indicator to specific needs:
Line Types: Select the type of lines to display: active, broken, both, or none.
Left Length: Determines the number of candles to calculate the previous high or low point.
Right Length: Defines the number of candles needed to confirm a level as Support or Resistance.
Timeframe: You can modify the timeframe of supports and resistances to view levels of a higher timeframe. It's also possible to add additional support and resistance levels using a second timeframe.
Breakout Source: Change the source needed to break support and resistance levels between Close or High/Low.
Delete at Timeframe: Allows removing levels based on the current chart resource instead of using that of the higher timeframe.
Session Range: Choose a period of distance from the last candle to define how far back in the past the indicator should look for Supports or Resistances.
Style Valid Level: Customize the appearance of active levels, including the color of the level itself, Liquidity fill, text color, line style and thickness, extension, as well as the size, position, and values to display in the level text.
Liquidity: This option displays the liquidity associated with each support and resistance level, with three modes: "Wick" which goes from the high/low to the upper/lower body, "Body" instead goes from the level to the lower/upper body of the candle and "Full Range" which extends from the high to the low of the candle.
Style Break Level: Allows modifying color, style, and thickness of lines, as well as text width, for two types of breakouts: "MSS" and "BOS" .
"MSS" stands for "Market Structure Switch" and indicates a level breakout opposite to the previous breakout, signaling a trend reversal.
"BOS" , on the other hand, means "Break of Structure" and occurs when a level is broken in the same direction as the previous one, confirming trend continuation.
Fibonacci Trend Line : Add up to 8 Fibonacci levels based on the last two identified support and resistance levels. Customize the different levels by modifying colors, thickness, style, and extension of lines. You also have the option to add a transparent background between each level.
Use Only Confirmed Levels: Activate this option if you want the system to use only the last two confirmed levels, excluding potential levels not yet confirmed.
Reverse: Used to reverse the direction of Fibonacci lines.
Use Higher / Lower: This option allows using the currently active maximum and minimum levels of Support and Resistance. The indicator will update each Support level until it encounters another active Resistance, and vice versa.
Trend Style: Activate/deactivate two types of indicator Trends: "Bar Color" based on level breakouts and "Background Color" based on the last active unconfirmed level.
Signal Style: Activate or deactivate the various breakout and bounce signals. Bounces present three options:
- Total Rejection: occurs when the price exceeds the high or low and closes below the liquidity level.
- Internal Rejection: the price closes in the liquidity zone.
- Liquidity Rejection: the price does not exceed the high or low, but only the liquidity level, closing below it.
Customized Alerts: Set alerts to be notified in case of breakouts, bounces, or formation of new levels.
These options allow you to optimize the indicator for different trading styles and market conditions, ensuring accurate and tailored technical analysis.
How to Use Support and Resistance:
Using Critical Levels: Consider all levels on the chart as "magnetic points" for the price. These represent critical areas where the market tends to react.
Signal Interpretation: Use the indicator's signals to interpret market movements. A level breakout can indicate a trend reversal or continuation. Bounces can suggest the holding of a level or signal a possible breakout.
Strategy Integration: Leverage the trend of support and resistance levels, breakouts, and bounces as key elements to develop and refine your trading strategies.
Call To Action:
Support and Resistance simplifies your market analysis, saving you time and improving the accuracy of your decisions. Thanks to clearly visualized and customizable levels, you'll have a clearer and more immediate view of market dynamics.
Don't wait any longer: discover how Support and Resistance can enhance your market analysis, offering you clear indications for faster and more precise trading decisions.
3 CANDLE SUPPLY/DEMANDExplanation of the Code:
Demand Zone Logic: The script checks if the second candle closes below the low of the first candle and the third candle closes above both the highs of the first and second candles.
Zone Plotting: Once the pattern is identified, a demand zone is plotted from the low of the first candle to the high of the third candle, using a dashed green line for clarity.
Markers: A small triangle marker is added below the bars where a demand zone is detected for easy visualization.
Efficient Logic: The script checks the conditions for demand zone formation for every three consecutive candles on the chart.
This approach should be both accurate and efficient in plotting demand zones, making it easier to spot potential support levels on the chart.
Institutional Order Finder (IOF) - Hidden Order Block LiteInstitutional Order Finder (IOF) - Hidden Order Blocks
Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Indicator: Detecting Breaker Blocks and Hidden Order Blocks (HOBs)
The Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Lite is designed to assist traders in identifying breaker blocks, also known as hidden order blocks (HOBs). The indicator helps identify untouched bodies within order blocks and offers comprehensive analysis of fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks based on engulfing candles. The method for detecting engulfing patterns is customizable (available in the Pro version).
Features of the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Lite Indicator
The indicator detects breaker blocks and distinguishes between complete HOBs and partial HOBs (PHOBs). An HOB is created when the body of a candle, to the left of an engulfing candle, ideally fits through the fair value gaps without being touched by wicks. The indicator differentiates between:
HOB (Hidden Order Block): The body completely fits through the FVGs and is untouched by wicks, making it a strong and reliable breaker block.
PHOB (Partial Hidden Order Block): The body does not fully fit, but at least the equilibrium (50% level of the body left of the engulfing candle) is covered by the FVGs.
The minimum requirement for a “good” HOB is for the equilibrium to be crossed by the FVGs. This method provides a focused and high-quality view of the market structure.
Visualization and Market Structure Analysis
The Institutional Order Finder (IOF) displays order blocks as lines, with the equilibrium being a critical analysis point. Once the equilibrium is reached, the order block is considered invalid. In addition to HOBs and PHOBs, the indicator also displays fair value gaps, as well as invalidated order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks (BBs). Understanding these invalidations is essential for interpreting market behavior and potential turning points. The line representation offers a cleaner view, making it easier to combine multiple timeframes and spot clusters.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
The Lite version allows analysis of up to three different timeframes, helping traders observe the relevance and strength of order blocks across different time periods. For each selected timeframe, not only confirmed order blocks are shown, but also “potential order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks (BBs).” These blocks are currently forming and are not yet confirmed. Potential OBs and BBs can provide crucial insights into the current market structure, especially for traders who seek early signals.
Lite Version and Limitations
The Lite version of the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) indicator has certain limitations. It can display only up to three timeframes, offers fewer customization options, and focuses on basic analysis tools. Nonetheless, the Lite version is a powerful tool for gaining initial insights into the functionality of the MT Breaker Block indicator and improving understanding of market structure.
Why Use the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Indicator?
The Lite indicator offers a precise way to analyze and visualize order blocks and breaker blocks. By focusing on identifying untouched bodies and the equilibrium, the indicator provides a unique perspective on market structure, often missing from traditional order block indicators. With its ability to conduct multi-timeframe analysis and identify potential order blocks in real time, the IOF Lite indicator offers a detailed understanding of potential price movements.

Volumetric Rejection Blocks [UAlgo]The Volumetric Rejection Blocks is designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels where volumetric rejections occur, which may indicate a shift in market sentiment. These rejections can signal potential trend reversals or areas where price action is likely to face support or resistance. By drawing rejection blocks based on volumetric strength, the indicator allows users to observe where significant buying or selling pressure has been exerted, which can be used as a reference point for future price action.
Also indicator dynamically calculates swing highs and lows, analyzes bullish and bearish strengths based on volume-weighted price movements, and displays rejection blocks on the chart. Each rejection block represents an area where the price attempted to move beyond a certain level but faced rejection, either on a close or wick basis. This can be particularly useful for traders who rely on market structure and order flow to make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length Customization: Allows users to define the swing length, helping tailor the sensitivity of the swing high and low detection to the specific market conditions.
Rejection Block Visualization: Displays up to the last 10 rejection blocks based on user settings, clearly marking areas of significant bullish or bearish rejections.
Volumetric Strength Analysis: The indicator calculates bullish and bearish strength for each rejection block, based on volume-weighted price movements over the last few bars, giving insight into the intensity of the rejection.
Violation Check Type: Offers two options for violation detection—"Close" and "Wick". This allows traders to specify whether a price level is considered broken only if it closes beyond the level or if any wick breaches it.
Bullish and Bearish Block Coloring: Rejection blocks are colored to represent bullish (green) and bearish (red) rejection areas. The color transparency can be adjusted for clear visibility overlaid on the price chart.
Market Structure Labels: Labels and lines marking "Market Structure Shift" (MSS) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) are displayed, giving traders context about significant market structure changes.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Rejection Blocks: These colored blocks on the chart indicate areas where the price faced significant buying or selling pressure. A green block suggests a bullish rejection (support zone), where buyers absorbed the sell-off, potentially pushing the price upward. Conversely, a red block indicates a bearish rejection (resistance zone), where sellers overpowered buyers, potentially driving the price lower.
Strength Analysis: The width of the green and red sections within a rejection block represents the relative bullish and bearish strengths. A wider green section indicates stronger bullish support, while a wider red section suggests more robust bearish resistance. This helps traders gauge the likelihood of price holding or breaching these levels.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator automatically detects and labels significant changes in market structure. An "MSS" label indicates the first break, suggesting a potential shift in trend direction. A "BOS" label indicates a subsequent confirmation in trend direction, allowing traders to recognize potential trend continuations.
Violation Check: Traders can choose how to interpret breaks of these rejection blocks. Using the "Close" option provides a more conservative approach, requiring a close beyond the level for confirmation. The "Wick" option is more aggressive, treating any wick beyond the level as a break.

Formation Defined Moving Support and ResistanceThe script was originally coded in 2018 with Pine Script version 3, and it was in protected code status. It has been updated and optimised for Pine Script v5 and made completely open source.
The Formation Defined Moving Support and Resistance indicator is a sophisticated tool for identifying dynamic support and resistance levels based on specific price formations and level interactions. This indicator goes beyond traditional static support and resistance by updating levels based on predefined formation patterns and market behaviour, providing traders with a more responsive view of potential support and resistance zones.
Features:
The indicator detects essential price levels:
Lower Low (LL)
Higher Low (HL)
Higher High (HH)
Lower High (LH)
Equal Lower Low (ELL)
Equal Higher Low (EHL)
Equal Higher High (EHH)
Equal Lower High (ELH)
By identifying these key points, the script builds a foundation for tracking and responding to changes in price structure.
Pre-defined Formations and Comparisons:
The indicator calculates and recognises nine different pre-defined formations, such as bullish and bearish formations, based on the sequence of price levels.
These formations are compared against previous levels and formations, allowing for a sophisticated understanding of recent market movements and momentum shifts.
This formation-based approach provides insights into whether the price is likely to maintain, break, or reverse key levels.
Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels:
The indicator offers an option to toggle Moving Support and Resistance Levels.
When enabled, the support and resistance levels dynamically adjust:
Upon a change in the detected formation.
When the bar’s closing price breaks the last defined support or resistance level.
This feature ensures that the support and resistance levels adapt quickly to market changes, giving a more accurate and responsive perspective.
Customisable Price Source:
Users can choose the price source for level detection, selecting between close or high/low prices.
This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt to different trading styles, whether the focus is on closing prices for more conservative levels or on highs and lows for more sensitive level tracking.
This indicator can benefit traders relying on dynamic support and resistance rather than fixed, historical levels. It adapts to recent price actions and market formations, making it useful for identifying entry and exit points, trend continuation or reversal, and setting trailing stops based on updated support and resistance levels.
Chessboard Support & ResistanceThe “Chessboard 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.

Volume Profile Heatmap 2.0The "Enhanced Volume Profile Heatmap" is a powerful Pine Script indicator designed for advanced volume analysis on TradingView charts. It creates a dynamic heatmap of volume distribution across a defined price range, enabling traders to pinpoint significant trading levels and understand price action more deeply.
Key Features:
Configurable Parameters:
Number of Bins (numBins): Defines the resolution of the heatmap by dividing the price range into multiple levels. More bins provide higher granularity.
Lookback Period (lookback): Sets the historical period over which the volume profile is calculated.
Price Range Calculation:
Calculates the highest and lowest prices over the lookback period, defining the boundaries for volume distribution.
Volume Allocation Across Price Levels:
The price range is divided into "bins" where each bin represents a specific price level.
For each price within the lookback period, the corresponding volume is allocated to its bin, building a comprehensive distribution of volume per price level.
Volume Normalization and Heatmap Visualization:
Volume for each bin is normalized based on the highest volume bin, creating a gradient effect to visually represent high and low-volume areas.
A heatmap color scheme is applied, where low volume appears redder and high volume appears greener, emphasizing critical price levels.
Visual Representation:
Each bin’s volume is depicted as a horizontal line with varying color intensity, creating a heatmap effect directly over the price chart.
Purpose:
The Enhanced Volume Profile Heatmap is ideal for traders looking to identify high-activity trading zones, which often act as strong support or resistance. By visualizing where trading activity concentrates, users can gain insights into potential areas of interest, allowing for more informed entry and exit decisions.
This indicator is a unique tool for volume-based analysis, helping traders understand underlying market sentiment and positioning across different price levels in a clear, intuitive way.
IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!

ARMORE Capital: Support–Resistance Levels v2.0 [Enhanced]Enhanced S/R Levels with Signals
The "Enhanced S R Levels with Signals" indicator is designed to help traders and investors identify key Support and Resistance levels on a price chart. It also includes LONG and SHORT signals to help you see potential buy and sell opportunities. Here's a beginner-friendly breakdown of how it works and how to use it:
How it Works
Support and Resistance Levels:
Support Levels (blue lines) are prices where the stock tends to find a "floor" or buying interest, potentially pushing the price up. These levels are calculated based on the lowest prices over a period, with the sensitivity setting helping adjust the distance between each support level.
Resistance Levels (red lines) are prices where the stock often encounters a "ceiling" or selling interest, which could push the price down. These levels are calculated based on the highest prices over a period, with sensitivity adjusting the distance between each resistance level.
The indicator plots up to five support and five resistance lines, giving you a layered view of price levels where the market may react.
LONG and SHORT Signals:
LONG Signal (green arrow pointing up): When the closing price goes above the closest support level, the indicator shows a LONG signal below the bar, suggesting a potential upward trend.
SHORT Signal (red arrow pointing down): When the closing price goes below the closest resistance level, the indicator shows a SHORT signal above the bar, indicating a potential downward trend.
Background Ribbons:
When a LONG condition is met, a faint green background appears on the chart as a visual cue.
When a SHORT condition is met, a faint red background appears to signal potential bearish pressure.
How to Use It
1. Finding Entry and Exit Points: Use the LONG and SHORT signals as a guide, but remember to consider other factors before making trading decisions. A LONG signal suggests that price may rise, while a SHORT signal indicates potential downside.
2. Support & Resistance Levels: Treat these levels as potential points of interest. Prices often react at support or resistance, so you can look for confirmation (e.g., reversal patterns, volume spikes) around these levels.
3. Experiment with Sensitivity: Adjust the "Sensitivity" setting to see how it changes the spacing of support and resistance levels. Higher sensitivity may show more frequent support/resistance levels, which can be helpful for short-term traders.
DISCLAIMER : This is purely experimental and shouldn't be considered a blatant Buy-Sell Indicator. Please feel free to use it to supplement your research, share it with your friends, iterate and improve upon it, and use it to build better, more powerful tools!
Remember, always combine technical indicators with other analysis methods and manage your risk responsibly. Happy Trading!
CSP Key Level Finder This script is designed for option sellers, particularly those using strategies like cash-secured puts (CSPs), to help automate the process of identifying key levels in the market. The core functionality is to calculate a specific price level where a 5% return can be achieved based on the historical volatility of the underlying asset. This level is visually plotted on a chart to guide traders in making more informed decisions without manually calculating the thresholds themselves.
The script incorporates implied volatility (IV) data to determine the volatility rank of the asset and calculates historical volatility (HV) based on price movements. These volatility measures help assess market conditions. The resulting key level is drawn as a line on the chart, along with a label that includes relevant information about volatility, making it easier for traders to evaluate potential option selling strategies.
Additionally, the script includes user input options, allowing users to control when to display the key level on the chart, offering flexibility based on individual needs. Overall, the script provides a visual aid for option sellers to streamline the process of identifying attractive entry points.
Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
9. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Only the candlestick pattern that generated the entry signal to triger the trade is identified and labeled on the chart. During the operation, the occurrence of new Doji, Pin Bar, Hammer and Shooting Star patterns will not be demonstrated on the chart, since the exit criteria are based on percentage take profit and stop loss.
