Institutional Structure [Clean Pro]

Institutional Structure [Clean Pro] — Script Explanation

This script is designed to map institutional market behavior using high-timeframe structure, not retail noise.
It focuses on where smart money acts, not on frequent signals.

🔹 1. High-Timeframe Support & Resistance (HTF S/R)

The script identifies major structural highs and lows using a higher lookback period.

Purpose:

Defines where institutions previously distributed or accumulated

Acts as natural decision zones

Filters out low-quality intraday levels

Why it matters:
Institutions trade from key HTF levels, not random support/resistance.

🔹 2. Equilibrium (50% Mean Price)

The equilibrium line represents the fair price between HTF high and low.

How it’s used:

Below equilibrium → discount zone (buy interest)

Above equilibrium → premium zone (sell interest)

Professional insight:
Smart money prefers buying discounts and selling premiums, not chasing price.

🔹 3. Market Structure Shift (MSS)

Instead of frequent BOS labels, the script detects true directional shifts.

Bullish MSS:

Price closes above previous HTF high
Bearish MSS:

Price closes below previous HTF low

Why MSS over BOS:

MSS confirms control change

Reduces false signals

Aligns with institutional execution logic

🔹 4. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Wick-Based)

The script identifies stop-hunt behavior using wick rejection logic.

Buy-side liquidity:

Wick above HTF high, but close back below
Sell-side liquidity:

Wick below HTF low, but close back above

Meaning:
Stops were triggered, but price failed to accept → smart money absorption

🔹 5. Fair Value Gap (FVG) – Refined Imbalance

Fair Value Gaps highlight inefficient price movement.

Bullish FVG:

Price leaves an upside imbalance
Bearish FVG:

Price leaves a downside imbalance

How pros use it:

As reaction zones, not entry signals

Best combined with liquidity + MSS

🔍 How Everything Works Together

The script is context-based, not signal-based:

1️⃣ HTF structure defines the battlefield
2️⃣ Liquidity is taken (stop hunts)
3️⃣ MSS confirms direction
4️⃣ FVG offers precision
5️⃣ Equilibrium filters bias

This creates high-probability trade environments, not overtrading.

📌 Best Practices (Professional Use)

Timeframes: 1H / 4H / Daily

Avoid lower TF noise

Trade only after liquidity is taken

Use FVG as confirmation, not trigger

Respect equilibrium bias
