Candle Range Theory - Higher-Timeframe ScannerThe CRT Range Scanner is a sophisticated trading tool that identifies potential Candle Range Theory (CRT) completions across multiple timeframes. Based on the Inner Circle Trader methodology, this indicator helps traders spot key market structure breaks and range expansions.
Key Features:
🔍 Higher-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically detects CRT patterns on higher timeframes while you trade on lower timeframes
🎯 Bullish & Bearish CRT Signals: Identifies both bullish (range expansion to downside) and bearish (range expansion to upside) completions
⏰ Kill Zone Filtering: Customizable trading sessions to focus only on high-probability market hours
📊 Visual Range Boxes: Clear visual representation of current and previous higher timeframe ranges
🏷️ Smart Labeling: Timeframe-specific labels for easy pattern recognition
How It Works:
Bullish CRT: Occurs when price breaks below previous low during specific session times, indicating potential bullish reversal
Bearish CRT: Occurs when price breaks above previous high during specific session times, indicating potential bearish reversal
The indicator draws colored boxes around the relevant price ranges and provides clear visual cues for pattern recognition
MMM Flipper @MaxMaserati 3.0The MMM Flipper identifies zones where market control shifts between buyers and sellers. It detects aggressive moves that fail, followed by counter-reactions from the opposing side, marking these areas as potential reversal or reaction zones. When the opposing side responds with their own aggression, it marks these areas as potential reversal or reaction zones.
📊 How It Works
Aggressive Movement Detection
Bullish Body Close (BuBC): Price closes above previous high - Aggressive Buyers
Bearish Body Close (BeBC): Price closes/ below previous low - Aggressive Sellers
Failed Aggression Creates Opportunity
When aggression fails to sustain (doesn't fully close beyond the level), it reveals weakness and creates a setup.
Counter-Reaction Marks The Zone (PO4 Block)
When the opposing side responds aggressively, the failed aggression candle becomes a marked zone:
Failed BuBC → BeBC response = Bearish PO4 Block (sellers took control)
Failed BeBC → BuBC response = Bullish PO4 Block (buyers took control)
H1 PO4 view in M5
🎨 What PO4 Blocks Represent
Purple & Cyan boxes mark areas where:
One side showed aggression but failed, and the counterpart responded and took control. Price may reverse, continue, or retest later.
Think of them as: Areas of institutional interest, proven support/resistance zones, or control shift points.
Expander Breaker (DEFAULT)
Requires counter-reaction to fully close beyond the failed candle confirming that price expanded and completely absorb and overtake the opposite side.
Stricter: Both expansion AND complete break required
Fewer but higher probability signals
Only Expander
Creates zones immediately on first counter-reaction
No close requirement needed
More zones, earlier signals
🎯 MMM Swing High/Low (Proprietary Logic)
3-Candle Confirmation System that identifies strong, validated swing points:
MMM Swing High: Confirmed after 3 consecutive BeBC candles (sustained bearish aggression)
MMM Swing Low: Confirmed after 3 consecutive BuBC candles (sustained bullish aggression)
Why 3 candles? Ensures it's not noise—requires sustained directional movement proving true aggressiveness and market control.
CDL/CDS Signals
CDL: Price breaks above MMM Swing High → Bullish control shift
CDS: Price breaks below MMM Swing Low → Bearish control shift
These mark major structural changes in market direction.
USE CASE
PO4 block forms (counter-reaction confirms shift)
Wait for price to return to the zone
Look for rejection or support/resistance
Enter in direction of the counter-reaction
Risk Management:
Use failed aggression candles as stop-loss levels
Zone invalidated if price fully breaks through
Price Behavior:
Immediate: Price respects zone right away
Continuation: Keeps moving in counter-reaction direction
Later Retest: Returns to test zone hours/days later
Market has memory - these zones remain relevant over time.
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Two independent timeframes (TF1 & TF2) allow you to:
See higher timeframe structure on lower timeframe charts
Identify confluence zones
Align trades with larger market forces
📝 Summary
The MMM Flipper reveals the battle between buyers and sellers:
One side shows aggression
That aggression fails or succeeds
The counterpart responds with their own aggression
A zone of control/reaction is marked
These zones represent where market dynamics shifted—powerful for identifying reversals, continuations, and key support/resistance. The proprietary MMM Swing logic ensures you're seeing true structural significance, not random noise.

Institutional Dominance & Trapped Trader @MaxMaserati 3.0 Institutional Dominance & Trapped Trader Delta Profile @MaxMaserati 3.0
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Overview
The IDT Auction Profile is a professional-grade volume order flow analysis tool that reveals where institutional traders hold Positional Advantage and where retail participants are Trapped. Unlike traditional Volume Profile indicators, the IDT Profile integrates Volume Point Delta (VPD) analysis with advanced pattern recognition to identify the exact price levels where profitable institutional positions create support/resistance, and where losing positions are forced to exit.
This indicator answers the critical questions: Who is in profit? Who is trapped? And where will they defend or exit their positions?
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Core Concept: Dominance vs Trapped Positioning
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════TThe indicator categorizes all market participants into two strategic positions based on their entry price relative to current market price:
Above Current Price (Resistance Zones)
🔴 Aggressive Sellers in Profit - Sold higher, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟥 Trapped Buyers at Loss - Bought higher, currently losing. Must exit at breakeven, creating resistance.
Below Current Price (Support Zones)
🟢 Aggressive Buyers in Profit - Bought lower, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟩 Trapped Sellers at Loss - Sold lower, currently losing. Must cover at breakeven, creating support.
Maximum Confluence Zones
When Dominant (Profitable) and Trapped (Loss) positions align at the same level, you get the strongest support/resistance zones. These appear as:
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Price) = Aggressive Sellers + Trapped Buyers = STRONGEST RESISTANCE
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Price) = Aggressive Buyers + Trapped Sellers = STRONGEST SUPPORT
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VOLUME ANALYSIS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. VPD Column (Volume Point Delta)
Net aggressive pressure at each price level (Buying Volume - Selling Volume).
Bullish Delta (Green): Buyers dominated the auction at this level
Bearish Delta (Red): Sellers dominated the auction at this level
Smart Coloring: Automatically highlights institutional patterns (icebergs, absorption, spikes, failed auctions)
2. VPS Column (Volume Point of Sell - ASK Volume)
Aggressive buying volume that "lifted the offer" by hitting ask prices.
Represents participants who paid the ask price to enter long
When price is below this level = These buyers are in profit
When price is above this level = These sellers who got hit are in profit
3. VPB Column (Volume Point of Buy - BID Volume)
Aggressive selling volume that "hit the bid" by taking bid prices.
Represents participants who sold at bid price to enter short
When price is above this level = These sellers are in profit
When price is below this level = These buyers who got hit are in profit
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🧠 ADVANCED INSTITUTIONAL PATTERNS DETECTION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses statistical analysis (standard deviation, moving averages, hit counting) to identify institutional footprints:
Failed Auctions ⚡
"BUYERS TRAPPED" or "SELLERS TRAPPED" labels
High volume entered, but price immediately reversed
Creates extreme concentrations of losing positions
Trading Implication: High-probability reversal zones where trapped participants must exit
Volume Spikes 📈📉
Bright green/red bars in VPD column
Volume exceeds average by 2+ standard deviations
Represents aggressive institutional entry
Trading Implication: Potential trend continuation or setup for failed auction
Absorption Zones 🛡️
Yellow/Orange colored bars
Large passive orders absorbing aggressive volume without price movement
Indicates accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish)
Trading Implication: Institutional positioning before major moves
Iceberg Orders 🧊
Cyan colored bars with high hit counts
Same price level shows repeated volume without clearing
Reveals hidden institutional limit orders split into small pieces
Trading Implication: Strong liquidity magnets, price often returns here
Volume Exhaustion 💜
Purple colored bars
Sharp volume drop (50%+) after spike
Momentum exhausted, participants depleted
Trading Implication: Potential reversal or consolidation ahead
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Colors bars based on detected patterns vs simple red/green
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Yellow = Bullish battles won
Orange = Bearish battles won
Cyan = Iceberg orders
Purple = Large passive orders
Bright Green = Buying spikes
Bright Red = Selling spikes
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Confluence Scoring ⭐
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Each price level receives 1-5 stars based on:
Volume spike presence (+2 stars)
Absorption pattern (+1 star)
Large passive orders (+1 star)
Proximity to Value Area (+1 star)
Iceberg detection (+2 stars)
Failed auction (+2 stars)
Minimum Signal Strength filter lets you show only levels with ★3+ confluence for highest-quality signals.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📍 Value Area Analysis
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VAH (Value Area High) - Blue Line
Top of the 70% volume acceptance zone. Price at VAH often rejects downward.
VAL (Value Area Low) - Red Line
Bottom of the 70% volume acceptance zone. Price at VAL often bounces upward.
Trading Applications:
Price outside Value Area → Mean reversion opportunity
Price breaks VA with volume → Trend continuation
Price oscillates within VA → Range-bound, fade extremes
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
EXPECTED PORICE BEHAVIOR AT KEY LEVELS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT: These are observed behavioral patterns for educational purposes and backtesting research. Always validate with 250-500+ backtest trades before risking capital. Use this indicator to enhance your existing strategy, not as a standalone system.
1. POC Box Zones (Highest Statistical Relevance)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Current Price)
Expected Behavior:
Price approaching from above typically encounters buying pressure
Both profitable institutional buyers and trapped short sellers create demand
Common reaction: Price slows, consolidates, or bounces
Failed bounces often lead to rapid breakdown (trapped buyers capitulate)
What Often Happens:
Initial dip into zone → Weak bounce attempt
Second test → Stronger bounce (trapped sellers covering + buyers defending)
Break below → Quick acceleration as both groups exit
Backtesting Focus:
Measure bounce success rate at ★3+ vs ★4-5 zones
Track how often price returns after initial rejection
Compare behavior during trending vs ranging markets
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Current Price)
Expected Behavior:
Price rallying into zone typically encounters selling pressure
Both profitable institutional sellers and trapped long buyers create supply
Common reaction: Price stalls, consolidates, or rejects
What Often Happens:
Initial push into zone → Weak rejection
Second test → Stronger rejection (trapped buyers exiting + sellers defending)
Break above → Quick acceleration as resistance becomes support
Backtesting Focus:
Measure rejection success rate by confluence score
Track false breakouts vs genuine breakouts
Identify market conditions that favor breakouts vs reversals
2. Failed Auction Zones
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
"SELLERS TRAPPED" Labels (Below Price)
Expected Behavior:
High-volume selling that immediately reversed = maximum trapped short positions
When price returns to this level, trapped sellers face pressure to cover
Typical pattern: Price approaches → Initial hesitation → Sharp bounce
Common Price Action:
First retest: Quick spike through level then immediate recovery
Subsequent retests: Stronger bounces as fewer trapped sellers remain
Level becomes support after trapped positions cleared
Backtesting Focus:
Success rate of bounces on first vs second retest
Time decay: Does signal strength diminish after X bars?
Volume characteristics during successful bounces
"BUYERS TRAPPED" Labels (Above Price)
Expected Behavior:
High-volume buying that immediately failed = maximum trapped long positions
Price returning forces trapped buyers to exit at breakeven
Typical pattern: Price approaches → Distribution → Rejection
Common Price Action:
First retest: Shallow penetration then swift rejection
Multiple retests: Weaker rallies as trapped positions cleared
Level becomes resistance until breakout occurs
Backtesting Focus:
How many retests before level breaks?
Volume profile changes on each successive test
Correlation with broader market direction
3. Value Area Dynamics
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Price Outside Value Area (VAH/VAL)
Expected Behavior:
Price beyond 70% volume zone = statistical outlier
Two outcomes: Mean reversion OR trend continuation
Key differentiator: Presence of confluence zones
Mean Reversion Pattern (No Strong Confluence):
Price extends 1-2% beyond VA → Typically reverts toward POC
Weak volume on extension → Higher probability of reversal
Price oscillates back into value area over several bars
Breakout Pattern (With ★4+ Confluence):
Price breaks VA with institutional patterns → Often continues
Strong volume + confluence = New value area forming
Old VA becomes reference point for pullbacks
Backtesting Focus:
Success rate of fades based on distance from VA
Confluence requirements for successful breakouts
Time of day / session impact on VA behavior
4. Iceberg Order Behavior
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Cyan Bars with High Hit Counts
Expected Behavior:
Repeated volume at same level = Large hidden order absorbing
Price typically "tests" iceberg multiple times before resolution
Two outcomes: Absorption complete (break) OR rejection (bounce)
Absorption Phase:
Price approaches → Slows near iceberg → Minimal movement
Volume increases but price range contracts
Acts as temporary support/resistance
Resolution Phase:
Iceberg filled → Sudden acceleration through level
Iceberg defended → Sharp rejection away from level
Post-resolution: Level often becomes support/resistance flip
Backtesting Focus:
Average number of tests before resolution
Volume characteristics when iceberg breaks vs holds
Timeframe impact on iceberg effectiveness
5. Volume Spike Patterns
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Bright Green/Red Bars (Institutional Aggression)
Expected Behavior:
Extreme delta spikes indicate institutional entry
Two scenarios: Continuation (spike in trend direction) OR Exhaustion (spike against trend)
Trend Continuation Spikes:
Spike + ★4+ confluence + aligned with trend = Often continues
Price may consolidate briefly then resume direction
These levels become support/resistance on pullbacks
Exhaustion Spikes:
Spike against trend + followed by reversal = Failed auction forming
High probability of "TRAPPED" label appearing
Often marks short-term extremes
Backtesting Focus:
Distinguish continuation vs exhaustion spikes
Success rate based on trend alignment
Time holding before reversal occurs
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 Best Practices
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Start with defaults (200 lookback, 60 rows, ★3 confluence, Classic colors, Smart Coloring ON)
Focus on POC boxes first - These are your highest-probability zones
Combine with price action - Use the profile to explain WHY support/resistance exists
Watch for alignment - Yellow/Orange boxes (both participant types) = strongest levels
Respect failed auctions - "TRAPPED" labels are extreme reversal setups
Use Value Area for context - Price outside VA = opportunity for mean reversion
Trust confluence scores - ★4-5 signals are institutional-grade setups
Adjust timeframe settings - Lower lookback for scalping, higher for position trading
🔧 Technical Notes
Calculation: Enhanced delta using OHLC and volume with wick ratio analysis
Updates: Real-time on every bar close
Performance: Optimized for up to 500 bars lookback and 250 price rows
Compatibility: Works on all symbols and timeframes
Indicator Unique Value
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike standard Volume Profile indicators that only show where volume occurred,
the IDT Auction Profile:
✅ Separates bid vs ask volume to reveal true order flow
✅ Identifies who is profitable vs who is trapped at each level
✅ Detects institutional patterns (icebergs, absorption, failed auctions)
✅ Calculates confluence scores combining multiple factors
✅ Provides clear POC boxes showing exact institutional positioning
✅ Maps positional advantage rather than just volume density
This transforms Volume Profile from a historical volume chart into a strategic positioning map showing institutional dominance and trapped participants.
How to Integrate with Your Strategy
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✅ Proper Uses:
Entry refinement within your existing setups
Intelligent stop placement beyond institutional levels
Objective profit targets at next confluence zones
Trade filtering (only take setups at ★4+ zones)
Understanding market positioning before entry
❌ What It Cannot Do:
Predict direction with certainty
Replace risk management
Account for news/external events
Guarantee profitability
Work in all market conditions
Development Path (12-16 Weeks)
Weeks 1-2: Observation Only
Watch price behavior at key levels
Document patterns without trading
Weeks 3-8: Paper Trading
Simulate trades, track all metrics
Minimum 100 paper trades
Weeks 9-16: Small Size Testing
Minimal capital, real market conditions
Continue tracking, refine rules
After Proven Edge: Scale Position Sizing
Critical Disclaimers
⚠️ Past volume ≠ Future price action
⚠️ Institutional positions change rapidly - these are static snapshots
⚠️ No indicator works 100% - risk management is mandatory
⚠️ Market conditions change - adapt your approach
⚠️ Backtest with YOUR style, YOUR timeframe, YOUR risk tolerance
The indicator reveals WHERE institutions are positioned and HOW they might behave. YOU decide IF, WHEN, and HOW to trade that information.
Not financial advice. For educational and research purposes only.

Manipulation Model [FB]GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Manipulation Model indicator is a complete rule-based system that identifies and confirms setups from the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model. It detects large impulsive candles, called Manipulation Candles and Almost Manipulation Candles, that form around key market levels such as session highs/lows, daily, weekly, and monthly levels, or higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). Using this structure, the indicator automatically marks long, short, bulltrap, and beartrap setups with predefined entry, stop loss, and take profit areas.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with the Funded Brothers.
ATTRIBUTION NOTICE:
This indicator incorporates concepts and source code from the indicator “MCs with Alerts” authored by @hamza_xau on TradingView. We have received full written permission from the original author to use and commercialize this code within this invite-only script.
Original script: MCs with Alerts:
What is the purpose of the indicator?:
The indicator automates detection of the Manipulation Model trading strategy setups by combining candle structure, key levels, session timing, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps. It removes discretion by enforcing fixed conditions for valid signals and automatically managing entry, stop-loss, and take-profit logic.
What is the theory behind the indicator?:
The indicator is built on how price interacts with major reference points such as session highs and lows, or daily and weekly levels. These levels are commonly referenced in technical analysis as areas where price previously reversed or consolidated. Manipulation Candles identify moments when price breaks past these reference points on both sides of the prior candle before closing firmly in one direction. When these candles form near higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps, it reflects price reacting inside an area that previously showed directional imbalance. The higher timeframe EMA filter aligns all detected setups with the broader market trend, allowing only signals that match the dominant direction.

MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS:
Manipulation Candlesticks (MCs) are candles that sweep both sides of the previous candle’s range and close outside of it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles form the foundation for the long/short setups. Once one forms, the indicator checks its position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists.
🔹What is a Manipulation Candlestick?
A Manipulation Candlestick (MC) is defined by structure rather than size. It forms when price takes out both the high and low of the previous candle, then closes outside that range.
A bullish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low and then closes above the previous candle’s high.
A bearish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high and then closes below the previous candle’s low.
🔹How to interpret and use Manipulation Candlesticks:
Manipulation Candlesticks show where price made a strong one-sided move after taking both sides of the previous candle’s range. When one forms, it marks an area where buyers or sellers were likely trapped as price moved aggressively in one direction.
A bullish MC shows strong buying after a false move lower. Price sweeps below the prior low, takes out the prior high, and closes above the previous range, confirming buyers are in control.
A bearish MC shows strong selling after a false move higher than the previous candle’s high. Price sweeps above the prior high, drops below the prior low, and closes beneath the previous range, confirming sellers are dominant.
🔹How Manipulation Candlesticks are identified:
The indicator confirms Manipulation Candles using three filters once a candle closes:
Sweep Condition:
Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low, before closing outside that range.
Directional Close:
A bullish MC must close above the previous high, and a bearish MC must close below the previous low.
Wick Confirmation:
A bullish MC must have a smaller upper wick (high - close) than lower wick (open - low), and a bearish MC must have a smaller lower wick (close - low) than upper wick (high - open).
Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Manipulation Candle.
🔹Bullish Manipulation Candle
A bullish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, then breaks above its high, and closes above it. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing little pullback as price pushed upward and confirming strong buying pressure.
🔹Bearish Manipulation Candle
A bearish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, then drops below its low, and closes beneath it. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing little pullback as price moved downward and confirming strong selling pressure.
🔹Manipulation Candle Visuals
When the indicator detects a Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section.
The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Manipulation Candlesticks.
ALMOST MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS:
Almost Manipulation Candlesticks (AMCs) are similar to Manipulation Candles, except they close inside the previous candle’s range instead of outside it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles help identify when price is showing the same sweeping behavior but hasn’t yet confirmed full displacement. They act as early warnings that a manipulation event may be developing. Just like Manipulation Candles, the indicator checks an AMC’s position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists.
🔹What is an Almost Manipulation Candlestick?
An Almost Manipulation Candlestick (AMC) forms when price sweeps both the high and low of the previous candle and closes inside that candle’s range.
A bullish AMC occurs when price sweeps below the previous low, moves above the previous high, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of above it.
A bearish AMC occurs when price sweeps above the previous high, drops below the previous low, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of beneath it.
🔹How to Interpret and Use Almost Manipulation Candlesticks:
Almost Manipulation Candles highlight hesitation or early signs of manipulation.
A bullish AMC indicates buyers pushed price up after sweeping lower, but price did not close decisively above the prior high.
A bearish AMC indicates sellers pushed price down after sweeping higher, but price did not close decisively below the prior low.
🔹How Almost Manipulation Candlesticks are identified:
The indicator confirms Almost Manipulation Candles using the same sweep and wick logic as Manipulation Candles, except the candle’s close must remain inside the previous candle’s range:
Sweep Condition:
Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low.
Candle Close Location:
The candle’s close must stay within the prior candle’s range.
Wick Confirmation:
For a bullish AMC, the lower wick must be larger than the upper wick. For a bearish AMC, the upper wick must be larger than the lower wick.
Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Almost Manipulation Candle.
🔹Bullish Almost Manipulation Candle
A bullish AMC forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, moves above the prior candle’s high, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing that buyers defended lower prices but the move did not close decisively upward.
🔹Bearish Almost Manipulation Candle
A bearish AMC forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, drops below the previous candle’s low, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing that sellers rejected higher prices but the candle did not close decisively lower.
🔹Almost Manipulation Candle Visuals
When the indicator detects an Almost Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Almost Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Almost Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section.
The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Almost Manipulation Candlesticks.
HIGHER TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS:
The Manipulation Model indicator automatically plots Fair Value Gaps from two user-selected higher timeframes.
🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?:
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all.
Bullish & Bearish FVGs:
🔹Why are Fair Value Gaps important?:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) show where price moved so quickly that one side of the market never got a chance to trade. They represent sudden shifts in what traders believe something is worth, where “fair value” changed. When a large candle drives straight through an area without overlap from the candles before and after it, it means buyers or sellers were so aggressive that the market skipped that price zone entirely.
These gaps matter because they mark the moment when confidence in price changes. If price rallies and never pulls back, it signals that traders accept the new higher prices as fair and are willing to keep buying there. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish gaps. They tell you where the market re-priced aggressively and where value was last accepted.
🔹How are Fair Value Gaps used?:
Higher Timeframe FVGs are used as a confluence for all setups within the Manipulation Model indicator. The indicator automatically detects and plots these imbalances from the chosen higher timeframe onto the current chart. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near or inside a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap, it adds context to the setup. They are not trade signals by themselves but act as a supporting element that contextualizes setups.
🔹When are Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps mitigated?
A Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gap is considered mitigated when the selected higher timeframe closes above the gap for a bearish FVG or below the gap for a bullish FVG.
🔹Higher Timeframe FVG Settings:
Timeframe 1 / Timeframe 2:
Select up to two higher timeframes to use for Fair Value Gaps. Disabling either one removes it visually from the chart but does not affect signal generation. However, the timeframes you select will be used for signal generation logic.
For example, if you select the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, then the 1-hour and 4-hour FVGs will be used for signal generation logic, which is explained in the signals section below.
Combine Zones:
When enabled, overlapping FVGs on the same higher timeframe are merged into a single zone. This keeps the chart clean and prevents duplicate zones from displaying.
Midline:
Adds a center line through each higher timeframe FVG.
Labels:
Displays a “ FVG” label beside each zone. This helps users see which timeframe the FVG is detected from.
Color Customization:
Each timeframe has separate color settings for bullish and bearish FVGs. Users can adjust these colors independently for both timeframes to fit their chart layout.
FVG Display Limit:
Controls how many higher timeframe FVGs are shown at once. Only the nearest X active gaps to current price will appear, helping maintain a clear view of relevant imbalances.
SESSIONS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes six customizable trading sessions: Asia, London, NY AM, NYSE, London Close, and NY PM. All session times and visuals are fully user-configurable. Each session has adjustable start and end times that can be set to match your preferred schedule. Users can also customize visuals for each session, including the color, opacity, and visibility of session zones.
Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and used within the indicator’s signal logic. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near a session high or low, it is recognized within the indicator’s signal detection.
Default times used for each session (in EST):
Asia: 20:00 - 00:00
London: 02:00 - 05:00
NY AM: 08:00 - 09:30
NYSE: 09:30 - 10:00
London Close: 10:00 - 11:00
NY PM: 11:00 - 14:00
🔹Session Settings:
Session Boxes:
Each session has a box that outlines its active time window. These boxes can be toggled on or off independently. When active, they visually separate each part of the trading day. Users can adjust the color and opacity of each session box.
Session Highs/Lows:
Every session can display its own high and low as horizontal lines. Users can customize the line style for session highs/lows, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted. The color of the lines will match the same color used for the session box.
Labels and Price Display:
Labels can be toggled on for all session highs and lows. Users can adjust label color, text size, and choose whether to show the price next to the label. Users can adjust the text size, choosing between tiny, small, normal, large, and huge.
Extend Levels:
When enabled, each session’s high and low levels can be extended forward by a set number of bars.
Session Titles:
Titles for each enabled session (e.g., “Asia,” “London,” “NY AM”) can be displayed directly on the chart.
Show Last:
The “Show Last” setting allows you to choose how many recent sessions of each type appear on the chart. For example, if you only have the Asia session enabled and have this setting set to 2, the recent two Asia sessions will be displayed.
🔹Sessions Used
Under the “Sessions Used” section in the settings, users can choose which sessions are active for signal generation. Only sessions enabled here will produce signals. For example, if you want setups to form only during the London session, turn off all other sessions in this section.
Disabling a session under the main Sessions section only hides its visuals (boxes, lines, or labels). It does not impact signal detection or logic. However, changing a session’s start and end time in either section will affect signals, since signals are tied to the exact session windows defined by the user. This distinction ensures you have full control over what’s displayed visually versus what contributes to active trade signal logic.
Please Note: Signals are only detected and plotted on your chart during sessions. Signals can not be detected outside of session time windows.
KEY LEVELS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes 10 key market levels that outline important structural price areas across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels include the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, Previous Week High/Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High/Low, and Midnight Open. The levels can be enabled or disabled and customized in color and line style. These levels are used for the indicator’s signal logic.
🔹Daily Open
The Daily Open marks where the current trading day began.
🔹Previous Day High/Low
The Previous Day High (PDH) marks the highest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where buyers pushed price to its highest point before the market closed. This value is automatically pulled from the daily chart and projected forward onto intraday timeframes.
The Previous Day Low (PDL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where selling pressure reached its lowest point before buyers stepped in. Like the PDH, this level is retrieved from the prior day’s data and extended into the current session.
🔹Weekly Open
The Weekly Open marks the first price of the current trading week.
🔹Previous Week High/Low
The Previous Week High (PWH) marks the highest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where buying pressure reached its peak before the weekly close. This value is automatically pulled from the weekly chart and extended forward into the current week for easy reference on intraday timeframes.
The Previous Week Low (PWL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where sellers pushed price to its lowest point before buyers regained control. Like the PWH, this level is sourced from the prior week’s data and projected onto the current week’s chart.
🔹Monthly Open
The Monthly Open marks the opening price of the current month.
🔹Previous Month High/Low
The Previous Month High (PMH) marks the highest price reached during the previous calendar month. It represents the point at which buyers achieved the strongest push before the monthly close. This level is automatically retrieved from the monthly chart and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes.
The Previous Month Low (PML) marks the lowest price reached during the previous calendar month. It shows where selling pressure was strongest before buyers stepped back in. Like the PMH, this value is pulled from the prior month’s data and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes.
🔹Midnight Open
The Midnight Open marks the first price of the trading day at 00:00 EST.
🔹Customization Options:
Users can fully customize the appearance of all key levels, including the following:
Daily Levels: Daily Open, PDH, and PDL
Weekly Levels: Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL
Monthly Levels: Monthly Open, PMH, and PML
Midnight Open
Color Settings:
Each group of levels (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) shares a single color for the Open, High, and Low lines. For example, the Daily Open, PDH, and PDL all use the same color. Colors can be changed for each group, but not for individual levels within the same group.
Line Style:
Users can select a global line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted, for all Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels. This style applies to all levels within those groups. For example, the Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL must all share the same line style.
The Midnight Open has its own independent line style setting and can use a different style from the other key levels.
Show Labels:
When enabled, text labels appear to the right of each key level. Users can adjust label color, but only one label color is applied to all levels for consistency.
🔹Key Levels Used:
Under the “Key Levels Used” section, users can choose which Key Levels and Session Levels (Session Highs/Lows) are factored into signal generation. Only levels enabled here are considered within the logic that confirms setups.
Users can choose between the following levels:
Daily Open
Previous Day High/Low
Weekly Open
Previous Week High/Low
Monthly Open
Previous Month High/Low
Asia Session High/Low
London Session High/Low
NY AM Session High/Low
NY Lunch Session High/Low
NY PM Session High/Low
London Close Session High/Low
Midnight Open
For example, if you only want to see setups that form using the Daily and Weekly levels, you should only enable the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, and Previous Week High/Low.
Disabling a level in the main “Key Levels” section only hides its visuals, while disabling it in “Key Levels Used” removes it entirely from the signal logic. Adjusting or removing any level in this section directly affects how setups are detected since the indicator references these levels when confirming Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups.
SIGNALS:
The Manipulation Model indicator automatically identifies Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups based on the interaction between Manipulation Candles (MCs), Almost Manipulation Candles (AMCs), and two main entry conditions: Key Levels and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Each signal type uses the structure of a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle as its foundation. When one of these candles forms and aligns with the entry conditions, the indicator automatically plots labels for an entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP). Every signal follows a mechanical set of rules and is marked in real time. Once confirmed on a candle close, the signal remains fixed on the chart and does not repaint.
🔹Higher Timeframe Bias Filter
Before a signal is generated, the indicator automatically determines directional bias using the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 1-hour timeframe.
If price is above the 50 EMA, only bullish setups are allowed.
If price is below the 50 EMA, only bearish setups are allowed.
🔹Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
For every setup, the stop loss is placed at the low of the Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle for bullish setups, and at the high for bearish setups. The take profit is automatically calculated at a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio relative to that distance.
Users can adjust both the SL Multiplier and TP Multiplier in the settings, under the “General Configuration” section, to extend or contract these levels. For example, increasing the TP Multiplier to 1.5 sets the take profit at 1.5x the distance between the entry and stop loss.
🔹Signal Input Settings:
Candle Type:
Choose which candle type is used to generate signals. Options include:
Manipulation Candle (MC) only
Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) only
Both (signals are generated from either candle type)
Entry Method:
Determines whether signals are generated based on:
Key Levels only
Fair Value Gaps only
Both (signals are generated from Key Levels AND Fair Value Gaps)
Setup Types:
You can enable or disable specific setup types. Only the selected setup types will appear on your chart:
Long Setups
Short Setups
Bulltrap Setups
Beartrap Setups
🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level:
A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on TP multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC touches the PDH during the London Session and closes above the level:
🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A short setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish MC touches the Daily Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level:
🔹Trap Confirmation Settings
Two settings control how bulltrap and beartrap setups are confirmed once a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms.
Candles Between Confirmation:
This setting defines the maximum number of candles allowed between the initial Manipulation Candle and the confirmation candle that closes back in the opposite direction.
For example, if this value is set to 2, the confirmation candle must appear within two bars of the Manipulation Candle for the setup to remain valid. If too many candles form in between, the bull/bear trap setup is ignored.
Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio:
This input measures the ratio of the confirmation candle’s wick size to its body size for bulltrap and beartrap setups. Lower values require a larger body compared to the wick, meaning the confirmation candle must close more decisively. If the ratio is above the threshold set by the user, the confirmation candle for a bulltrap/beartrap setup is considered valid.
For example, if the wick is 10 points and the body is 10 points, the ratio is 1.0 (10 / 10). If the wick is 10 points and the body is 20 points, the ratio is 0.5 (10 / 20).
🔹Beartrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bearish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back above the MC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The sweep or initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input
Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle occurs during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks, meeting the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it forms just two candles after the bearish MC which is within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The MC does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bullish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the MC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial key level touch from the MC can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.
Once these conditions are met and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the NY AM Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it appears two candles after the bullish MC which is within the limit defined by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
🔹Long Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A long setup forms when a bullish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Almost Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish AMC touches the Daily Open during the NYSE Session and closes above the level.
🔹Short Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A short setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Almost Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level.
🔹Beartrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bearish AMC forms, a confirmation candle must close back above the AMC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.
Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle forms during the London Session, has a large body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears seven candles after the bearish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit (10 by default).
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish AMC touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level; it only needs to touch it. After this bullish AMC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the AMC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.
Once these conditions are met and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish AMC touches the NY Lunch Session Low before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears six candles after the bullish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit.
🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a bullish higher timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section. The candle must close during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC taps into a bullish 1-hour FVG during the Asia Session.
🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A short setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a bearish higher timeframe FVG from one of the two selected higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section. The candle must also close during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish MC taps a bearish 1-hour FVG during the Asia Session.
🔹Beartrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a bullish or bearish higher timeframe FVG from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Higher Timeframe FVG Settings” section. After the bearish MC forms, price must reverse and a confirmation candle must close above the bearish MC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch of the FVG can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.
Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish MC taps a 1-hour bearish FVG, price reverses, and a confirmation candle closes above the bearish MC’s high. The confirmation candle forms during the London Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears two candles after the bearish MC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit.
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish MC touches a bearish or bullish higher timeframeFVG from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Higher Timeframe FVG Settings” section. After the bullish MC forms, price must reverse and a confirmation candle must close below the MC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch of the FVG can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.

Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC taps a 4-hour bearish FVG, price reverses, and a confirmation candle closes below the bullish MC’s low. The confirmation candle forms during the NY PM Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears six candles after the bullish MC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit.
🔹Long Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A long setup forms when a bullish AMC touches a bullish higher timeframe FVG from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section.

🔹Signal Style Customization
The Manipulation Model indicator provides full visual customization for all signal elements, allowing users to easily adjust the appearance of entry, stop loss, and take profit labels.
Label Colors:
Users can customize the label color for Long Setups (Long and Beartrap) and Short Setups (Short and Bulltrap).
Long and Beartrap setups share the same label color.
Short and Bulltrap setups share the same label color.
Label text color can also be customized and applied globally to all signal labels.
Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Labels:
The SL and TP label colors can be customized independently.
Users can toggle SL Labels and TP Labels on or off. When turned off, the corresponding labels are hidden, but their levels remain active on the chart.
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit Lines:
Each of these lines can be individually toggled on or off.
Entry Line: Marks the entry price level.
Stop Loss Line: Displays the SL level derived from each setup’s logic.
Take Profit Line: Displays the TP level calculated using the Take Profit Multiplier setting.
Users can also toggle the labels for each line on or off and adjust the color for each line type independently.
WIN RATE DASHBOARD:
The Win Rate Dashboard gives traders a quick way to see the recent performance of their enabled setups. It automatically calculates and displays win rates for each signal type turned on under the “General Configuration” section, based on the sessions and key levels currently active in the settings.
The dashboard updates in real time, showing both the win rate percentage and total trade count for all enabled signal types combined. It looks back at a set number of bars to calculate results, providing a simple performance snapshot directly on your chart.
How It Works:
When a signal triggers, the indicator tracks whether price first reaches the Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) level.
A winning trade is recorded when the take profit is hit before the stop loss.
A losing trade is recorded when the stop loss is hit before the take profit.
The win rate = (Winning Trades / Total Trades) x 100
🔹Dashboard Customization:
Users can adjust the dashboard’s appearance with the following settings:
Background Color
Frame Color
Border Color
Text Color
You can also toggle the dashboard on or off from the settings menu. It appears in the top-right corner of the chart by default and its position cannot be changed.
🔹Disclaimer:
The Win Rate Dashboard provides historical performance data based on the signals and conditions you’ve enabled. These results are calculated from past bars and are not indicative of future performance or profitability.
ALERTS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes full alert functionality powered by AnyAlert(), allowing users to receive notifications for all major setups and level breaks in real time.
Users can choose exactly which alerts they want to receive under the “Alerts” section of the settings. Once your preferred alerts are toggled on, you can create a TradingView alert using the AnyAlert() condition. This will automatically trigger alerts for all selected events as they occur on your chart.
Available Alerts:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes, which can result in the following restriction:
Computation Error:
The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again.
UNIQUENESS:
The Manipulation Model is unique because every setup type is fully rule-based and tied to strict structural logic. Traders can control exactly how signals form by selecting which candle types are used, which key levels and sessions are active, and whether entries trigger from Key Levels, Fair Value Gaps, or both. All setups use objective rules for confirmation, wick-to-body ratio, and higher timeframe bias. The indicator also provides full customization for visuals, alerts, and trade parameters like TP and SL multipliers. A built-in Win Rate Dashboard tracks real-time performance for all enabled setup types based on the user’s active sessions and signal filters. Together, these features make it a complete, mechanical implementation of the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model and it works across all asset classes including stocks, crypto, forex, and futures.
Top-Down Analysis - Multi-Timeframe AlignmentThis indicator implements a Top-Down Multi-Timeframe Trading Analysis System. Here's what it does:
Core Functionality
1. Multi-Timeframe Bias Detection
Monitors three timeframes: Daily, 4-Hour, and 1-Hour
Determines if each timeframe is bullish, bearish, or neutral based on two EMAs (9 and 21 period by default)
A timeframe is bullish when: Fast EMA > Slow EMA AND price is above Fast EMA
A timeframe is bearish when: Fast EMA < Slow EMA AND price is below Fast EMA
2. Alignment Tier System
Tier 1 (Full Alignment): All three timeframes agree (Daily = 4H = 1H direction)
Tier 2 (Partial Alignment): Daily and 1H agree, but 4H differs
No Alignment: Timeframes disagree
3. Previous Day Support & Resistance Levels
Automatically plots key levels from the previous day:
Previous Day High (PDH) - resistance
Previous Day Low (PDL) - support
Previous Day Close (PDC)
Previous Day Midpoint (PDM)
4. Execution Zone (15-Minute Window)
Highlights the first 15 minutes after each new 4H candle opens
This is the optimal entry window when alignment conditions are met
5. Pattern Recognition
Detects trading setups:
Double tops/bottoms
Long wicks at support/resistance
Bullish/bearish closes aligned with bias
6. Trade Signals
Generates entry signals when:
There's Tier 1 or Tier 2 alignment
Price is in the 15-minute execution zone
A valid pattern forms (double top/bottom or wick rejection)
7. Visual Dashboard
Shows a real-time table with:
Each timeframe's current bias
Alignment status
Next 4H prediction
Whether price is at a key support/resistance level
Trading Strategy
The indicator helps traders follow the principle of "trade with the higher timeframe trend" by only taking trades when multiple timeframes agree, focusing entries during specific windows, and respecting previous day's key price levels as potential reaction zones.
Dobrusky Pressure CoreWhat it does & who it’s for
Dobrusky Pressure Core is a volume by time replacement for traders who care about which side actually controls each bar. Instead of just plotting total volume, it splits each bar into estimated buy vs sell pressure and overlays a custom, session-aware volume baseline. It’s built for discretionary traders who want more nuanced volume context for entries, breakouts, and pullbacks.
Core ideas
Buy/sell pressure split: Each bar’s volume is broken into estimated buying and selling pressure.
Dominant side highlighting: The dominant side (buy or sell) is always displayed starting from the bottom of the bar, so you can quickly see who “owned” that bar.
Median-based baseline: Uses the median of the last N bars (50 by default) to build a robust volume baseline that’s less sensitive to one-off spikes.
Session-aware behavior: Baseline is calculated from Regular Trading Hours (RTH) by default, with an option to include Extended Hours (ETH) and a control to force Regular data on higher timeframes.
Volume regimes: Three multipliers (1x, 1.5x, 2x by default) show normal, high, and extreme volume regions.
Flexible display: Baseline can be shown as lines or as columns behind the volume, with full color customization.
How the pressure logic works
For each bar, the script:
Adjusts the range for gaps relative to the prior close so the “true” traded range is more consistent.
Computes buy pressure as a proportion of the adjusted range from low to close.
Defines sell pressure as: total volume minus buy pressure.
Marks the bar as buy-dominant if buy pressure ≥ sell pressure, otherwise sell-dominant, and colors the dominant side from the bottom to at least the midpoint using the selected buy/sell colors.
In practice, this turns basic volume columns into bars where the internal split and dominant side are clearly visible, helping you judge whether aggressive buyers or sellers truly controlled the bar instead of just looking at the price action.
Volume baseline & session logic
The script builds a session-aware baseline from recent volume:
Baseline length: A rolling window (default 50 bars) is used to compute a median volume value instead of a simple moving average.
RTH-only by default: By default, the baseline is built from Regular Trading Hours bars only. During extended hours, the baseline effectively “freezes” at the last RTH-derived value unless you choose to include extended session data.
Extended mode: If you select Extended mode, the script builds separate rolling baselines for RTH and ETH trading, using the appropriate one depending on the current session.
Force Regular Above Timeframe: On timeframes equal to or higher than your chosen threshold, the baseline automatically uses Regular session data, even if Extended is selected.
Multipliers: Three adjustable multipliers (1x, 1.5x, 2x by default) create normal, high, and extreme volume bands for quick identification.
This lets you choose whether you want a pure RTH reference or a baseline that adapts to extended-session activity.
Example ways to use it
1. Replace standard volume bars
Add Dobrusky Pressure Core to your volume pane and hide the default volume if you prefer a clean look.
Use the colors and split to see at a glance whether buyers or sellers were dominant on each bar.
2. Pressure confirmation for entries
For longs (example concept; adapt to your own rules):
Require that the entry bar’s buy pressure is greater than the previous bar’s sell pressure , or
If the entry and prior bar are both buy-dominant, require that the entry bar has more buy pressure than the prior bar.
This helps avoid taking a long when buying pressure is clearly fading relative to what sellers recently showed. A mirrored idea can be used for short setups with sell pressure.
3. Context from baseline multipliers
Use ~1x baseline as “normal” volume.
Watch for bars at or above 1.5x baseline when you want to see increased participation.
Treat 2x baseline and above as “extreme” volume zones that may mark climactic or especially important bars.
In practice, the baseline and multipliers are best used as context and filters, not as rigid rules.
Settings overview
Display
- Show Volume Baseline: toggle the baseline and its levels on or off.
- Baseline Display: choose between Line or Bars for the baseline visualization.
Baseline Calculation
- Length: lookback for the median baseline (default 50, configurable).
- Baseline Session Data: choose Regular or Extended to control which session data feeds the baseline.
Session Controls
- Regular Session (Local to TZ): define your RTH window (e.g., 0930-1600).
- Session Time Zone: choose the time zone used for that window.
- Force Regular Above Timeframe: on higher timeframes, force the baseline to use Regular session data only.
Baseline Levels
- Show Level x Multiplier 1/2/3: toggle each volume regime level.
- Multiplier 1/2/3: define what you consider normal, high, and extreme volume (defaults: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Colors
- Buy Volume / Sell Volume: choose colors for buy and sell pressure.
- Baseline Bars (Base / x2 / x3): colors when the baseline is drawn as columns.
- Baseline Line (Base / x2 / x3): colors when the baseline is drawn as lines.
Limitations & best practices
This is a decision-support and visualization tool, not a buy/sell signal generator.
Best suited to markets where volume data is meaningful (e.g., index futures, liquid equities, liquid crypto).
The usefulness of any volume-based metric depends on the underlying data feed and instrument structure.
Always combine pressure and baseline context with your own strategy, risk management, and testing.
Originality
Most volume tools either show total volume only or compare it to a simple moving average. Dobrusky Pressure Core combines:
An intrabar buy/sell pressure split based on a gap-adjusted price range.
A median-based, configurable baseline built from session-specific data.
Session-aware behavior that keeps the baseline focused on Regular hours by default, with the option to incorporate Extended hours and force Regular data on higher timeframes.
The goal is to give traders a richer, session-aware view of participation and pressure that standard volume bars and simple SMA overlays don’t provide, while keeping everything transparent and open-source so users can review and adapt the logic.

Footprint Safe FinalThis script is made for guide purpose only. It has some few important functions that can help you with your trading strategy.
Institutional Volume Flow (IVF) with VWAP & Zones. Accumulation Zone (Green Background)Logic: Signals potential institutional buying at the low.Conditions: The current close price is below VWAP $\text{(close} < \text{VWAP)}$, AND there has been at least one Aggressive Buy (IVF) bar within the last $\text{N}$ bars.2. Manipulation Zone (Red Background)Logic: Signals a Stop Hunt or False Breakout where the market briefly takes out a previous extreme before reversing with institutional conviction.Conditions:False Break High: Current high is a new 2-bar high, immediately followed by an Aggressive Sell (IVF) bar.False Break Low: Current low is a new 2-bar low, immediately followed by an Aggressive Buy (IVF) bar.3. Compression Zone (Purple Background)Logic: Signals a period of low volatility where price is "coiling up" for a large move.Conditions: The bar's range $\text{(high} - \text{low)}$ is consistently small (less than a multiplier of the Average True Range (ATR)) for a specific number of bars.The zones are plotted using bgcolor() for a visual area on the chart and plotshape() to mark the specific bar where the condition is met. Manipulation is given the highest plotting priority to ensure it's visible over other zones if conditions overlap.Would you like me to elaborate on the typical trading strategy associated with any of these three zones (Accumulation, Manipulation, or Compression)?
Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.
