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

Signalgo CHoCHSignalgo CHoCH: Informative Technical Overview
Signalgo CHoCH is a multi-factor indicator designed for TradingView to detect “Change of Character” (CHoCH) shifts in market structure, signaling significant trend reversals and managing trades with risk control. This documentation details how it operates, its customizable parameters, signal methodology, what makes it different from traditional tools, and typical strategy applications.
How Signalgo CHoCH Works
1. Market Structure Detection
Swing High & Low Identification: The indicator uses an adaptive swing length to isolate important pivot highs and lows in price action. These pivots signal points where the market reversed direction or paused, forming the “swing structure” core to this strategy.
Body Strength Validation: Not every pivot break is meaningful. Signalgo CHoCH assesses price bar “body strength”—quantifying if the current candle’s body is disproportionately large compared to a recent average—to filter out weak or indecisive moves, retaining only those breaks likely to indicate genuine momentum.
2. Change of Character (CHoCH) Signal Logic
Bullish CHoCH: Triggered when price closes above the last significant swing low (the most recent support) with a strong candle body, indicating a transition from bearish to bullish market structure.
Bearish CHoCH: Triggered when price closes below the last significant swing high (key resistance) with a strong bearish candle, denoting a shift from bullish to bearish structure.
One-Time Event Recognition: Each break is tracked so that signals are issued only once per directional change, reducing repeated or redundant entries.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
Multi-Timeframe Consistency: The indicator requires the CHoCH signal (on the current trading timeframe) to be confirmed by the market structure status of a selected higher timeframe. This adds an extra layer of validation, ensuring the signal aligns with broader trends.
Inputs
SwingLen: The number of bars used to define swing pivots.
bodyStrength & bodyLookback: Control sensitivity for body size validation, filtering which candle breaks are considered strong enough for signaling.
htfTf: Selects the higher timeframe for multi-timeframe checking.
show_tpsl: Toggle to show/hide automated Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels on the chart.
ATR, TP/SL/RR/Trailing Settings: Determines how risk and reward are managed, using ATR for stop placement and multi-level profit targets with optional trailing stop activation after TP1.
Entry & Exit Strategy
Entry Logic
Long Entry: When a bullish CHoCH is detected, optionally confirmed by the higher timeframe, it marks a buy opportunity at the close of the breakout candle.
Short Entry: When a bearish CHoCH forms, also with optional higher timeframe confirmation, it identifies a sell entry at the close of the confirmation candle.
Exit & Trade Management
Stop Loss (SL): Automatically placed at a set ATR distance from entry, dynamically adapting to volatility.
Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3): Multiple reward targets are calculated and marked for systematic scaling out or profit-taking, based on a defined risk multiple.
Trailing Stop: Once the first profit target is hit, SL moves to breakeven, and a trailing stop engages, incrementally securing further gains if the trend continues.
State Tracking: All TP, SL, and trailing events are labeled on the chart for easy post-trade analysis.
Body Strength and Trend Filtering: Breakouts are only considered if the candle’s body confirms significant momentum, not just a fleeting spike, improving signal quality.
Event-Driven, Not Rolling: Each bullish or bearish “character change” is signaled only at the true point of structural shift, with strict per-event marking, not continuous signal generation as with typical MA cross strategies.
Integrated Multi-Timeframe Logic: higher timeframe validation minimizes false positives from short-term volatility noise, a capability not found in most indicator-based tools.
Automated, Dynamic Trade Management: This indicator overlays a complete trade management suite (TPs, SL, trailing) that moves with market conditions, allowing for risk handling directly from each signal.
Trading Strategy Application
Trend Reversal & Continuation: Suitable for identifying both sudden reversals and structural continuations, adaptable for intraday, swing, or positional trading styles.
Noise Filtering: Multiple checks (body strength, momentum, multi-timeframe) focus signals on genuine trend changes, filtering out most “whipsaws” seen in pure MA systems.
Visual Feedback: All transitions, TPs, SLs, and trailing events are visually annotated, enhancing the educational and review process.
VXN Choch Pattern LevelsThis indicator is based on other open source scripts. It identifies and visualizes Change of Character (ChoCh) patterns on Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ) charts, using pivot points and the CBOE VXN index (Nasdaq-100 Volatility Index) to detect potential trend reversals.
It plots bullish and bearish ChoCh patterns with triangles, horizontal lines, and volume delta information.
The indicator uses VXN EMA and SMA to set a background color (green for bullish, red for bearish) to contextualize market sentiment.

BOS & CHoCH (v6, UA)The logic of the trading strategy
This is a well-structured and concise summary of a trading strategy based on market structure analysis. Here is the English translation.
Swings
ta.pivothigh/low on a selected structure timeframe (TF). When a swing is confirmed, we fix the level and the bar_index of the current chart as an anchor for a horizontal line.
BOS (Break of Structure)
A breakout of the last Swing High (SH) or Swing Low (SL) in the direction of the current trend.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
A breakout against the trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Breakout
By close or by high/low (you can switch the breakout confirmation mode to closing price).
Angle Market Structure [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Angle Market Structure is a smart pivot-based tool that dynamically adapts to price action by accelerating breakout and breakdown detection. It draws market structure levels based on pivot highs/lows and gradually adjusts those levels closer to price using an angle threshold. Upon breakout, the indicator projects deviation zones with labeled levels (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) to track price extension beyond structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Adaptive Market Structure: Uses pivots to define structure levels, which dynamically angle closer to price over time to capture breakouts sooner.
Breakout Acceleration: Pivot high levels decrease and pivot low levels increase each bar using a user-defined angle (based on ATR), improving reactivity.
Deviation Zones: Once a breakout or breakdown occurs, 3 deviation levels are projected to show how far price extends beyond the breakout point.
Count Labels: Each successful structure break is numbered sequentially, giving traders insight into momentum and trend persistence.
Visual Clarity: The script uses colored pivot points, trend lines, and extension labels for easy structural interpretation.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates pivot highs and lows using a customizable length.
Applies an angle modifier (ATR-based) to gradually pull levels closer to price.
Plots breakout and breakdown lines in distinct colors with automatic extension.
Shows deviation zones (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) after breakout with customizable size.
Color-coded labels for trend break count (bullish or bearish).
Dynamic label sizing and theme-aware colors.
Smart label positioning to avoid chart clutter.
Built-in limit for deviation zones to maintain clarity and performance.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use pivot-based market structure to identify breakout and breakdown zones.
Watch for crossover (up) or crossunder (down) events as trend continuation or reversal signals.
Observe +1/+2/+3 or -1/-2/-3 levels for overextension opportunities or trailing stop ideas.
Use breakout count as a proxy for trend strength—multiple counts suggest momentum.
Combine with volume or order flow tools for higher confidence entries at breakout points.
Adjust the angle setting to fine-tune sensitivity based on market volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Angle Market Structure enhances traditional pivot-based analysis by introducing breakout acceleration and structured deviation tracking. It’s a powerful tool for traders seeking a cleaner, faster read on market structure and momentum strength—especially during impulsive price moves or structural transitions.
Choch Pattern Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Choch Pattern Levels indicator automatically detects Change of Character (CHoCH) shifts in market structure — crucial moments that often signal early trend reversals or major directional transitions. It plots the structural break level, visualizes the pattern zone with triangle overlays, and tracks delta volume to help traders assess the strength behind each move.
🔵 CONCEPTS
CHoCH Pattern: A bullish CHoCH forms when price breaks a previous swing high after a swing low, while a bearish CHoCH appears when price breaks a swing low after a prior swing high.
Break Level Mapping: The indicator identifies the highest or lowest point between the pivot and the breakout, marking it with a clean horizontal level where price often reacts.
Delta Volume Tracking: Net bullish or bearish volume is accumulated between the pivot and the breakout, revealing the momentum and conviction behind each CHoCH.
Chart Clean-Up: If price later closes through the CHoCH level, the zone is automatically removed to maintain clarity and focus on active setups only.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic CHoCH pattern detection using pivot-based logic.
Triangle shapes show structure break: pivot → breakout → internal high/low.
Horizontal level marks the structural zone with a ◯ symbol.
Optional delta volume label with directional sign (+/−).
Green visuals for bullish CHoCHs, red for bearish.
Fully auto-cleaning invalidated levels to reduce clutter.
Clean organization of all lines, labels, and overlays.
User-defined Length input to adjust pivot sensitivity.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use CHoCH levels as early trend reversal zones or confirmation signals.
Treat bullish CHoCHs as support zones, bearish CHoCHs as resistance.
Look for high delta volume to validate the strength behind each CHoCH.
Combine with other BigBeluga tools like supply/demand, FVGs, or liquidity maps for confluence.
Adjust pivot Length based on your strategy — shorter for intraday, longer for swing trading.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Choch Pattern Levels highlights key structural breaks that can mark the start of new trends. By combining precise break detection with volume analytics and automatic cleanup, it provides actionable insights into the true intent behind price moves — giving traders a clean edge in spotting early reversals and key reaction zones.

Radi IQ [TradingIQ]Introducing "Radi IQ".
Radi IQ is a comprehensive market structure indicator designed to provide traders with a detailed view of key price levels and market behavior. It combines several analytical methods—including internal and external structure analysis, fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, rejection blocks, premium discount zones, equal levels, directional liquidity grabs, and trend meters —to help users better understand areas of support and resistance, potential turning points, and liquidity events in the market.
Key Components and Their Functions
Market Structure Analysis
Internal and External Structure : The indicator evaluates market structure on two levels. The internal analysis focuses on immediate price action (e.g., recent support/resistance and swing points), while the external analysis uses a higher timeframe to provide context. This dual approach helps to confirm the strength of key levels by comparing short-term moves with the broader market trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) : These signals highlight moments when the market shifts its behavior. A BoS indicates that a previous level of support or resistance has been overcome, while a CHoCH signals a change in the market’s character. Both are marked clearly on the chart using distinct color codes.
Break of Structure + (BoS+) and Change of Character + (CHoCH+) : These signals highlight moments when the market shifts its behavior and is confirmed by prior price action. A BoS + indicates that a previous level of support or resistance has been overcome, while price action achieves higher highs and higher lows (resistance break) or lower highs and lower lows (support break). CHoCH + signals a change in the market’s character when supported by prior price action - lower highs for a support break and higher lows for a resistance break.
BoS and CHoCH
The image above shows BoS and CHoCH identified on the price chart, and explains what each signifies.
A Break Of Structure (BoS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previously established support or resistance level. It indicates that the current trend or market pattern is being challenged, and the market may be ready to change direction.
A Change of Character (CHoCH) describes a shift in how the market behaves. A CHoCH occurs when, in an uptrend, a previously established support level breaks, or in a downtrend, a previously established resistance level breaks.
This break indicates that the market's typical structure is shifting, suggesting that the current trend may be losing its strength and that a reversal or a new trend could be developing.
CHoCH+
The image above explains CHoCH+ and how it forms, while highlighting an instance where a downside CHoCH+ formed following lower highs.
A Change of Character + (CHoCH+) describes a shift in how the market behaves that is supported by prior price action. For support breaks, price must form lower highs before breaking support.
The image above explains CHoCH+ for resistance breaks, while highlighting an instance where a resistance point broke that was supported by prior price action.
BoS+
The image above explains BoS+ and how it forms, while highlighting an instance where an upside BoS+ formed following higher highs and higher lows.
A BoS+ resistance break requires higher highs and higher lows prior to the resistance point being closed over.
The image above explains BoS+ support break, while highlighting an instance where a downside BoS+ formed following lower highs and lower lows.
A BoS+ support break requires lower highs and lower lows prior to the support point being closed under.
Future BoS and CHoCH
Radi IQ also displays where the next BoS and CHoCH points are located.
The image above shows the feature in action. With this, traders will always know where the next key support/resistance breakpoints are before they actually occur.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator identifies gaps in the price where little or no trading occurred—known as fair value gaps. These gaps can act as temporary support or resistance and may indicate areas where the market is likely to correct. FVGs are displayed with clear color gradients that differentiate between upward and downward gaps.
The image above shows an identified upside FVG. In the image, the identified upside FVG acted as a support point for price.
The image above shows an identified downside FVG. In the image, the identified downside FVG acted as a resistance point for price.
Low Volume FVG
In addition to identifying trading FVGs - Radi IQ can also specifically detect low volume fair value gaps. Ideally, these fair value gaps will form inside a low volume node on a volume profile.
Low volume node FVGs are important because these are areas where very little trading occurred and is confirmable, indicating an imbalance in supply and demand. Since few trades took place there, the market often moves quickly through these zones when revisited, which can lead to rapid price changes. This "gap" in trading activity can serve as a signal for potential reversals or fast moves, offering opportunities to enter or exit positions based on expected market behavior.
The image above shows identified FVGs that formed on low volume.
Large Area FVGs
Radi IQ is also capable of filtering out “inconsequential” FVGs. With this, Radi IQ can be enabled to only mark FVGs that cover a wide price range.
The image above shows the feature enabled, and all identified FVGs formed with a wide price range.
Large Area FVGs and Low Volume FVGs Combined
Traders can also enable Radi IQ to only mark FVGs that form on low volume and have a wide price range - allowing traders to only identify the highest quality FVGs on the chart.
Order Blocks and Premium Discount Zones
Order Blocks: Radi IQ detects areas where large orders have previously been placed by institutional traders. These blocks can act as strong levels of support or resistance, and the indicator marks bullish and bearish order blocks with dedicated colors.
What is an order block?
Order blocks are clusters of orders that institutions have executed to enter or exit a market position. They typically form when there is a period of consolidation before a significant move. For example, the last bullish candle before a strong down move may indicate a supply order block, while the last bearish candle before a sharp rally might be considered a demand order block.
Why They Form:
Institutions don’t trade in small, sporadic amounts; they accumulate or distribute large volumes of an asset. To avoid slippage and minimize market impact, they execute these orders over a zone rather than at a single price point. This creates a recognizable “block” on the chart.
Order Block Identification Types
Strength Score
The “Strength Score” order block detection mode is a TradingIQ proprietary ranking system for identified order blocks.
Purpose
The purpose of the “Strength Score” ranking system is to determine the “strength” or significance of an order block and rate the zone’s likelihood to act as support/resistance when retested in the future.
The scoring system ranks from 0 - 10, with “0” indicating a “weak” score or low likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
A rating of “5” indicates a “moderate” score, indicating that the order block has a moderate likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
A rating of “10” indicates a “strong” score, indicating that the order block has a strong likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
How It Works
The score is calculated by examining the price move following the formation of an order block. The stronger the price move after an order block forms - the higher the Strength Score.
The image above shows a bearish order block with a score of “5” identified on the chart. The order block successfully operates as a resistance point when retested.
The image above shows a bullish order block with a score of “5” identified on the chart. The order block successfully operates as a resistance point when retested.
Volume-Based
The volume-based order block detection method detects traditional order blocks, but goes one step further by identifying the highest concentration point of volume for the bar and drawing the order block around this concentration point.
Key features when using the volume-based order block detection method:
The top of the order block is anchored to the top of the highest volume concentration point of the bar
The bottom of the order block is anchored to the bottom of the highest volume concentration point of the bar
The total volume that went into creation of the order block is displayed on the chart
The total volume of the order block is recorded as a percentage relative to the total volume for all order blocks on the chart
The image above shows the detection method in action.
Breaker Blocks
A breaker block is a specific type of order block that gains significance when price breaks through it and then often retests the level as a new area of support or resistance. Essentially, it’s a zone where, after the initial break, the previous level (which once acted as strong support or resistance) flips roles. For example, in an uptrend, if the price falls below a key support level, that level can become a breaker block and act as resistance if the price tries to move back up. Conversely, in a downtrend, a broken resistance level can serve as new support. Traders monitor breaker blocks because they often mark a shift in market sentiment and can provide potential entry or exit points once the market re-engages with these levels.
The image above shows a breaker block above price acting as resistance.
The image above shows a breaker block below price acting as support.
Rejection Blocks
A rejection block is a price area where the market shows a strong unwillingness to move beyond a certain level. This typically happens when price approaches a specific level but then is quickly rejected, leading to a bounce in the opposite direction. In other words, a rejection block forms when traders' orders create a barrier, causing the price to reverse rather than break through. Traders watch these areas closely, as they often signal a strong concentration of supply or demand that could provide potential entry or exit points for trades.
The image above shows both a verified upside rejection block acting as resistance, and an untested downside rejection block.
Rejection blocks are expected to function as strong support/resistance points when retested in the future.
Premium Discount Zones
Premium Discount Zones : These zones reflect areas where price is trading above (premium) or below (discount) a fair value range. They help traders gauge whether the current market price is relatively high or low compared to historical averages.
Premium Discount Zones account for recent swing highs and lows to calculate a fair value along with discount and premium prices over an intermediate time window.
The image above shows the premium and discount price zones in action.
Equal Levels
The indicator also tracks and highlights equal levels, which occur when the market repeatedly tests the same price levels. Equal levels can reinforce the significance of a support or resistance area and are represented by their own set of color markers.
The image above shows Radi IQ distinguishing equal highs and equal lows.
Equal Highs
When you see two or more highs that are approximately the same, it suggests that the market is repeatedly rejecting attempts to push higher. This signals a strong resistance level where sellers (or stop-hunters) are active.
Equal Lows
Similarly, consecutive lows at the same level indicate strong support, where buyers step in consistently, preventing further decline.
Strong Highs and Lows
Strong High
A strong high is a price level where the market repeatedly fails to push higher. Typically, it’s characterized by:
Rejection: Price approaches the high but then reverses sharply, often leaving long upper wicks on the candlestick chart.
Consolidation: Multiple bars might show highs that are very close in value (often termed "equal highs"), indicating a well-established resistance zone.
Market Sentiment: This pattern suggests that sellers are actively defending that level, preventing further upward movement.
Strong Lows
Conversely, a strong low is a price level where the market repeatedly fails to break lower. It is identified by:
Bounce Back: Price touches the low and then rebounds sharply, often leaving long lower wicks.
Consistency: Multiple lows occur around the same level (sometimes referred to as "equal lows"), marking a solid support area.
Market Sentiment: This indicates that buyers are stepping in at that level, absorbing selling pressure and supporting the price.
The image above shows Radi IQ detecting both a strong high and strong low, while the detected strong low acts as support when retested.
Liquidity Grabs
Liquidity grabs occur when the market temporarily moves to absorb liquidity, often triggering stop-loss orders and leading to rapid price movements. Radi IQ flags these events by identifying conditions where price moves against recent pivots, helping traders spot potential liquidity-related reversals or breakouts.
The image above shows Radi IQ identifying both an upside liquidity grab and a downside liquidity grab.
Upside Liquidity Grab (Bearish)
An upside liquidity grab happens when the price moves above a well-known resistance area or recent high. This move is often short-lived.
Many traders place stop-loss orders or pending buy orders just above resistance levels. Institutional players may intentionally push price upward to trigger these orders, thereby “grabbing” the liquidity available at that level.
Downside Liquidity Grab (Bullish)
A downside liquidity grab is the mirror image: the price briefly dips below a key support level or recent low.
Traders often place stop-loss orders or pending sell orders just below support levels. An intentional drop below this support can trigger these stops, allowing institutional players to capture liquidity.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis and Swings
By using data from different timeframes, Radi IQ offers a broader perspective on market trends. It highlights significant swing highs and swing lows, providing visual cues that indicate the market’s directional bias. This feature assists traders in identifying both short-term opportunities and long-term trends.
The image above shows Radi IQ detecting higher swings and lower swings.
IQ Meters / Fibometer
IQ Meters (Fibometers) are a proprietary TradingIQ tool that allows traders to easily identify the highs and lows of the current trend and where current price is relative to these points.
The image above depicts the IQ Meters—an exclusive TradingIQ tool designed to help traders evaluate trend strength and retracement opportunities.
When the lower timeframe Zig Zag IQ and the higher timeframe Zig Zag IQ are out of sync (i.e., one is uptrending while the other is downtrending, with no active positions), the meters display a neutral color as shown in the image.
The key to using these meters is to identify trend unison and pinpoint key trend retracement entry opportunities. Fibonacci retracement levels for the current trend are interlaced along each meter, and the current price is converted to a retracement ratio of the trend.
These meters can mathematically determine where price stands relative to the larger and smaller trends, aiding in identifying entry opportunities.
The top of each meter indicates the highest price achieved during the current price move.
The bottom of each meter indicates the lowest price achieved during the current price move.
When both the larger and smaller trends are in sync and uptrending, or when a long position is active, the IQ meters turn green, indicating uptrend strength.
When both meters are green, it indicates uptrend strength as both the higher timeframe trend and lower timeframe trend are in unison. Look for price to retrace to key fibonacci retracement levels during this time period.
When both trends are in sync and downtrending, or when a short position is active, the IQ meters turn red, indicating downtrend strength.
When both meters are red, it indicates downtrend strength as both the higher timeframe trend and lower timeframe trend are in unison. Look for price to retrace to key fibonacci retracement levels during this time period.
Summary
Radi IQ serves as a robust, data-driven tool for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market structure. By integrating internal and external analysis, fair value gap detection, order block identification, premium discount zoning, equal level tracking, liquidity grabs and much more into one indicator, it offers a multi-layered view of the market. This helps traders not only recognize potential turning points and areas of market stress but also manage risk more effectively and plan their trades with greater precision. The indicator’s clear visual representation and dynamic updates make it a practical addition to any trader’s toolkit.
Market Structure MTF Trend [Pt]█ Author's Notes
There are numerous market structure indicators in the TradingView library, each offering a unique approach to identifying price action shifts. Market Structure MTF Trend was created with simplicity and flexibility in mind—providing a highly customizable multi-timeframe setup, visually clear trendlines, and straightforward labeling. This combination helps both new and experienced traders easily spot and interpret market structure changes.
█ Overview
Market Structure MTF Trend is a powerful yet user-friendly indicator designed to identify and visualize key turning points in price action. It focuses on two core concepts:
Change of Character (CHoCH): A momentary shift in the market’s behavior, signaling that the current price movement may be losing momentum and could soon reverse.
Break of Structure (BoS): A more definitive event confirming a new price pattern, where the market establishes a fresh trend direction by surpassing previous swing highs or lows.
By combining these signals across up to four different timeframes, even traders unfamiliar with market structure can quickly learn to spot and validate potential trend reversals or continuations.
█ Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Monitors CHoCH and BoS events simultaneously on multiple intervals (e.g., 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m), providing a clear, layered understanding of market dynamics.
Straightforward Visual Cues: Labels are placed directly on the chart at swing highs and lows, while colored bars at the bottom give an instant snapshot of whether each timeframe is bullish or bearish.
Configurable Timeframes & Pivot Strength: Easily set up the desired intervals and adjust pivot strength to tune how sensitive the indicator is to minor price fluctuations.
Color-Coded Signals: Different colors help you distinguish between potential early reversals (CHoCH) and confirmed shifts (BoS), ensuring each signal’s importance is immediately clear.
█ Usage & Benefits
Learn Market Structure Basics: For those new to swing highs/lows, CHoCH, and BoS, the script’s on-chart labels and dynamic bar coloring provide a practical, visual way to grasp these concepts.
Spot Reversals Early: CHoCH alerts you to possible shifts in momentum, allowing you to anticipate trend changes before they fully develop.
Confirm Trend Breaks: BoS events confirm that the market has established a new directional bias, reinforcing higher‐probability entry or exit points.
Reduce Noise & Stay Focused: The multi-timeframe setup ensures you won’t overlook larger trends or get lost in smaller fluctuations.
Streamline Decision-Making: Color-coded bars let you gauge overall market sentiment at a glance—ideal for quickly validating trades without juggling multiple charts.
Market Structure MTF Trend is perfect for traders who want to learn or refine their understanding of price action. By integrating multiple timeframes into a single, cohesive interface, this tool highlights both subtle shifts and confirmed breaks in market structure, empowering you to trade with greater insight and confidence.
Sweep Engulf CHoCH📖 Indicator Overview
The Sweep Engulf CHoCH indicator is designed to detect the Sweep + Engulf + CHoCH (Change of Character) pattern on price charts. This indicator helps traders identify bullish and bearish entry opportunities based on the last three candles forming this pattern.
📊 How the Indicator Works
The indicator analyzes specific conditions in the last three candles:
🔹 Bullish Entry (Buy Signal)
✔️ Candle 1 must be bearish (close < open )
✔️ Candle 2 must sweep the low of candle 1 (low < low )
✔️ Candle 2 must also engulf candle 1 (close > close )
✔️ Candle 3 must break structure (CHoCH) by closing above the open of candle 1 (close > open )
🔻 Bearish Entry (Sell Signal)
✔️ Candle 1 must be bullish (close > open )
✔️ Candle 2 must sweep the high of candle 1 (high > high )
✔️ Candle 2 must also engulf candle 1 (close < open )

Overview
If you’re a price-action enthusiast who loves to stay on top of structural shifts in the market, Market Rhythm is here to supercharge your charting experience! This script automatically identifies swing points (HH, LH, HL, LL), detects breaks of structure (BOS), flags changes of character (CHoCH), and offers an optional Trade Tip to guide your next move. It also provides a sleek table summarizing the latest signals so you can confirm momentum or pivot-based ideas at a glance.
What It Does
Swing Detection
Spots the last few pivot highs and lows on your chart.
Labels them as HH (Higher High), LH (Lower High), HL (Higher Low), or LL (Lower Low).
You can display all identified swings or only the most recent ones.
Adaptive Swing Logic
Optionally invert your swing lengths when the script detects a bearish trend, allowing it to adapt pivot detection automatically.
This means if the market flips to a downtrend, pivot detection reconfigures itself in real time.
Break of Structure (BOS)
If price breaks above the previous swing high or below the previous swing low, the script prints a BOS line on the chart.
You can choose whether to confirm breakouts via candle closes or wicks.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
When a BOS flips from bullish to bearish (or vice versa) against the prior direction, it’s renamed CHoCH for added clarity.
Color-coded lines and labels let you instantly see if the market’s “character” is reversing.
Optional Trade Tip
The script can suggest “Look for Long” or “Look for Short” based on your last pivot type and overall trend direction.
This “Trade Tip” is completely optional: enable or disable it in the settings, and the table reconfigures itself automatically.
Information Table
A compact on-chart table gives you an at-a-glance summary of:
Trend – Are we bullish, bearish, or uncertain?
Last BOS – If there’s a recent break of structure, how many bars ago did it happen?
Last CHoCH – If the market made a sudden reversal, how many bars back?
Trade Tip (Optional) – Summarizes whether conditions favor a long or short setup, or if it’s best to wait.
Alerts
Built-in alert conditions let you know when a BOS or CHoCH happens (bullish or bearish).
Turn them on to receive notifications without staring at the screen all day.

One Shot One Kill ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity MMXM + CISD OTE🔵 Introduction
The One Shot One Kill trading setup is one of the most advanced methods in the field of Smart Money Concept (SMC) and ICT. Designed with a focus on concepts such as Liquidity Hunt, Discount Market, and Premium Market, this strategy emphasizes precise Price Action analysis and market structure shifts. It enables traders to identify key entry and exit points using a structured Trading Model.
The core process of this setup begins with a Liquidity Hunt. Initially, the price targets areas like the Previous Day High and Previous Day Low to absorb liquidity. Once the Change in State of Delivery(CISD)is broken, the market structure shifts, signaling readiness for trade entry. At this stage, Fibonacci retracement levels are drawn, and the trader enters a position as the price retraces to the 0.618 Fibonacci level.
Part of the Smart Money approach, this setup combines liquidity analysis with technical tools, creating an opportunity for traders to enter high-accuracy trades. By following this setup, traders can identify critical market moves and capitalize on reversal points effectively.
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The One Shot One Kill setup is a structured and advanced trading strategy based on Liquidity Hunt, Fibonacci retracement, and market structure shifts (CISD). With a focus on precise Price Action analysis, this setup helps traders identify key market movements and plan optimal trade entries and exits. It operates in two scenarios: Bullish and Bearish, each with distinct steps.
🟣 Bullish One Shot One Kill
In the Bullish scenario, the process starts with the price moving toward the Previous Day Low, where liquidity is absorbed. At this stage, retail sellers are trapped as they enter short trades at lower levels. Following this, the market reverses upward and breaks the CISD, signaling a shift in market structure toward bullishness.
Once this shift is identified, traders draw Fibonacci levels from the lowest point to the highest point of the move. When the price retraces to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, conditions for a buy position are met. The target for this trade is typically the Previous Day High or other significant liquidity zones where major buyers are positioned, offering a high probability of price reversal.
🟣 Bearish One Shot One Kill
In the Bearish scenario, the price initially moves toward the Previous Day High to absorb liquidity. Retail buyers are trapped as they enter long trades near the highs. After the liquidity hunt, the market reverses downward, breaking the CISD, which signals a bearish shift in market structure. Following this confirmation, Fibonacci levels are drawn from the highest point to the lowest point of the move.
When the price retraces to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, a sell position is initiated. The target for this trade is usually the Previous Day Low or other key liquidity zones where major sellers are active.
This setup provides a precise and logical framework for traders to identify market movements and enter trades at critical reversal points.

🔵 Conclusion
The One Shot One Kill setup is one of the most effective and well-structured trading strategies for identifying and capitalizing on key market movements. By incorporating concepts such as Liquidity Hunt, CISD, and Fibonacci retracement, this setup allows traders to enter trades with high precision at optimal points.
The strategy emphasizes detailed Price Action analysis and the identification of Smart Money behavior, helping traders to execute successful trades against the general market trend.
With a focus on identifying liquidity in the Previous Day High and Low and aligning it with Fibonacci retracement levels, this setup provides a robust framework for entering both bullish and bearish trades.
The combination of liquidity analysis and Fibonacci retracement at the 0.618 level enables traders to minimize risk and exploit major market moves effectively.
Ultimately, success with the One Shot One Kill setup requires practice, patience, and strict adherence to its rules. By mastering its concepts and focusing on high-probability setups, traders can enhance their decision-making skills and build a sustainable and professional trading approach.
Market Structure Trend Targets [ChartPrime]The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator is designed to identify trend direction and continuation points by marking significant breaks in price levels. This approach helps traders track trend strength and potential reversal points. The indicator uses previous highs and lows as breakout triggers, providing a visual roadmap for trend continuation or mean reversion signals.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Breakout Points with Numbered Markers :
The indicator identifies key breakout points where price breaks above a previous high (for uptrends) or below a previous low (for downtrends). The initial breakout (zero break) is marked with the entry price and a triangle icon, while subsequent breakouts within the trend are numbered sequentially (1, 2, 3…) to indicate trend continuation.
Example of breakout markers for uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Percentage Change Display Option :
Traders can toggle on a setting to display the percentage change from the initial breakout point to each subsequent break level, offering an easy way to gauge trend momentum over time. This is particularly helpful for identifying how far price has moved in the current trend.
Percentage change example between break points:
⯌ Dynamic Stop Loss Levels :
In uptrends, the stop loss level is placed below the price to protect against downside moves. In downtrends, it is positioned above the price. If the price breaches the stop loss level, the indicator resets, indicating a potential end or reversal of the trend.
Dynamic stop loss level illustration in uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Mean Reversion Signals :
The indicator identifies potential mean reversion points with diamond icons. In an uptrend, if the price falls below the stop loss and then re-enters above it, a diamond is plotted, suggesting a possible mean reversion. Similarly, in a downtrend, if the price moves above the stop loss and then falls back below, it indicates a reversion possibility.
Mean reversion diamond signals on the chart:
⯌ Trend Visualization with Colored Zones :
The chart background is shaded to visually represent trend direction, with color changes corresponding to uptrends and downtrends. This makes it easier to see overall market conditions at a glance.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the number of bars used to identify pivot highs and lows for trend breakouts.
Display Percentage : Option to toggle between showing sequential breakout numbers or the percentage change from the initial breakout.
Colors for Uptrend and Downtrend : Allows customization of color zones for uptrends and downtrends to match individual chart preferences.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator offers a strategic way to monitor market trends, track breakouts, and manage risk through dynamic stop loss levels. Its clear visual representation of trend continuity, alongside mean reversion signals, provides traders with actionable insights for both trend-following and counter-trend strategies.
Fibonacci Confluence Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Fibonacci Confluence Toolkit is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential price reversal zones by combining key market signals and patterns. It highlights areas of interest where significant price action or reactions are anticipated, automatically applies Fibonacci retracement levels to outline potential pullback zones, and detects engulfing candle patterns.
Its unique strength lies in its reliance solely on price patterns, eliminating the need for user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
The script begins by detecting CHoCH (Change of Character) points—key indicators of shifts in market direction. This script integrates the principles of pure price action as applied in Pure-Price-Action-Structures , where further details on the detection process can be found.
The detected CHoCH points serve as the foundation for defining an Area of Interest (AOI), a zone where significant price action or reactions are anticipated.
As new swing highs or lows emerge within the AOI, the tool automatically applies Fibonacci retracement levels to outline potential retracement zones. This setup enables traders to identify areas where price pullbacks may occur, offering actionable insights into potential entries or reversals.
Additionally, the toolkit highlights engulfing candle patterns within these zones, further refining entry points and enhancing confluence for better-informed trading decisions based on real-time trend dynamics and price behavior.

Market Structure Inducements ICT [TradinFinder] CHoch BOS Sweeps🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation for identifying trends in the market, crucial in technical analysis and strategies like ICT and SMC. Understanding key concepts such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) helps traders recognize critical shifts in the market. BOS, referring to a Market Structure Change (BMS), and CHOCH or Market Structure Shift (MSS) signal trend reversals in the market.
Additionally, the concept of Inducement, a vital tool in Smart Money strategies, allows traders to avoid price traps. Identifying valid pullback, valid inducement, POI, and Liquidity Grab helps traders find optimal entry and exit points and leverage Smart Money movements effectively.
Bullish Market Structure :
Bearish Market Structure :
🔵 How to Use
The Market Structure indicator is designed to help traders better understand market structure and detect price traps. By using this indicator, you can identify the right entry and exit points based on structural changes in the market and avoid unprofitable trades. Below, we explain the key concepts and how to apply them in trading.
🟣 Market Structure
Market Structure refers to the overall pattern of price movement in the market. Using this indicator, traders can identify uptrends and downtrends and make better trading decisions based on changes in market structure. The two key concepts here are Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH).
Change of Character (CHOCH) : CHOCH occurs when the market shifts from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. These changes typically indicate a broader trend reversal, and the indicator assists you in identifying them accurately.
Break of Structure (BOS) : When the market breaks a key support or resistance level, it signals a change in market structure. This indicator helps you identify these breakouts in time and take advantage of trading opportunities.
🟣 Inducement
Inducement refers to price traps set by Smart Money to trick retail traders into making the wrong trades. This indicator helps you recognize these traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
Valid Inducement : Valid Inducement refers to deliberately created price traps by major market players to gather liquidity from retail traders. Once the market has collected sufficient liquidity, it makes the real move, and professional traders use this moment to enter.
🟣 Valid Pullback
A Valid Pullback refers to a temporary market retracement, indicating a price correction within the main trend. This concept is crucial in technical analysis as it helps traders enter trades at the right time and profit from the continuation of the trend. The Market Structure indicator can identify these valid retracements, allowing traders to enter trades with greater confidence.
🟣 Point of Interest (POI)
Another important concept in market analysis is the Point of Interest (POI), referring to key price areas on the chart. POI includes zones where significant price movements are likely to occur. The Market Structure indicator helps you locate these key points and use them as entry signals for trades.
🟣 Liquidity Grab
Liquidity Grab refers to a scenario where the market intentionally moves to areas where retail traders' stop losses are placed. The goal is to gather liquidity, allowing major players to execute trades at better prices. By using this indicator, you can spot these liquidity grabs and avoid falling into price traps.
🔵 Setting
ChoCh Detector Period : The period of identifying the major market levels that occur when they break ChoCh.
BoS & Liquidity Detector Period : The period of identifying minor levels, which are used to identify BoS and Liquidity levels.
Inducement Detector Period : The period of identification of Inducement levels.
Fast Trend Detector : This feature will help you update the major market structure levels sooner.
Inducement Type Detector : Two modes "Sweeps" and "Total" can be used to identify the levels of Inducement. In "Sweeps" mode only Levels detected by touch shadow. In "Total" mode, all Levels are detected.
🔵 Conclusion
In financial market analysis and forex trading, identifying Market Structure and Inducement is crucial. Market Structure helps you detect uptrends and downtrends, and understand Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). The concept of Inducement also enables traders to spot Smart Money price traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
The Market Structure indicator is a powerful tool that, by analyzing the market structure and concepts like valid pullback and valid inducement, helps you make more precise trade entries. Additionally, by identifying POI and Liquidity Grab, the indicator gives you the ability to spot key market zones and use them to your advantage in trading.
Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
🔵 Settings
🟣 CISD Logical settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
🟣 SFP Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 CISD Display settings

🔵 Conclusion
CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.
Internal/External Market Structure [UAlgo]The "Internal/External Market Structure " indicator is a tool designed to identify and visualize internal and external market structure based on swing highs and lows. It helps traders understand short-term (internal) and long-term (external) price behavior.
🔶 What are ChoCH and BoS?
Change of Character (ChoCH)
Change of character refers to the reversal of market trend either from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. ChoCH is also a break of market structure but in opposite direction.
If market is in bullish trend but it breaks it previous (higher) low and makes a lower low, it will be termed a “bearish change of character” as price changed its trend from bullish to bearish.
Like wise if price is in bearish trend and it breaks its previous (lower) high making a higher high it will be marked as “bullish change of character” as price changed its trend from bearish to bullish.
Break of Structure (BoS)
When price breaks its structure in direction of previous trend its called break of structure (BoS). So its a trend continuation pattern.
As you know in bullish trend price makes higher highs. Each time when price break a previous high and marks a new high its known as bullish break of structure.
But in bearish trend price makes lower lows so every time when price breaks previous low and makes a new low it is called as bearish break of structure.
🔶 Key Features
Internal Swing Length: Allowing for fine-tuning of sensitivity to smaller, more frequent market movements.
External Swing Length: Focusing on capturing broader market trends.
The indicator differentiates between internal and external market structures, using different styles and colors to represent each. Internal structures are shown with solid lines, while external structures use dashed lines, providing clear visual cues.
Internal Market Structure:
The internal market structure focuses on shorter-term swings and is useful for identifying minor trend changes and short-term price movements. Breaks of internal swing highs or lows can indicate potential changes in the market's direction or momentum. The labels "CHoCH" and "BoS" help distinguish between changes in character and break of structure events, respectively.
External Market Structure:
The external market structure captures larger, more significant market moves. It is particularly useful for identifying major trend changes and key support and resistance levels. The dashed lines and corresponding labels "CHoCH+" and "BoS+" indicate more substantial shifts in market sentiment.
For BoS (Break of Structure):
For ChoCH (Change of Character):

Market Structure Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Oscillator indicator analyzes and synthesizes short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term market structure shifts and breaks, visualizing the output as oscillators and graphical representations of real-time market structures on the main price chart.
The oscillator presentation of the detected market structures helps traders visualize trend momentum and strength, identifying potential trend reversals, and providing different perspectives to enhance the analysis of classic market structures.
🔶 USAGE
A market structure shift signals a potential change in market sentiment or direction, while a break of structure indicates a continuation of the current trend. Detecting these events in real-time helps traders recognize both trend changes and continuations. The market structure oscillator translates these concepts visually, offering deeper insights into market momentum and strength. It aids traders in identifying overbought or oversold conditions, potential trend reversals, and confirming trend direction.
Oscillators often generate signals based on crossing certain thresholds or diverging from price movements, providing cues for traders to enter or exit positions.
The weights determine the influence of each period (short-term, intermediate-term, long-term) on the final oscillator value. By changing the weights, traders can emphasize or de-emphasize the importance of each period. Higher weights increase their respective market structure's influence on the oscillator value. For example, if the weight for the short-term period is set to 0, the final value of the oscillator will be calculated using only the intermediate-term and long-term market structures.
The indicator features a Cycle Oscillator component, which uses the market structure oscillator values to generate a histogram and provide further insights into market cycles and potential signals. The Cycle Oscillator aids in timing by allowing traders to more easily see the median length of an oscillation around the average point, helping them identify both favorable prices and favorable moments for trading.
Users can also display detected market structures on the price chart by enabling the corresponding market structure toggle from the "Market Structures on Chart" settings group.
🔶 DETAILS
The script initiates its analysis by detecting swing levels, which form the fundamental basis for its operations. It begins by identifying short-term swing points, automatically detected solely based on market movements without any reliance on user-defined input. Short-Term Swing Highs (STH) are peaks in price surrounded by lower highs on both sides, while Short-Term Swing Lows (STL) are troughs surrounded by higher lows.
To identify intermediate-term and long-term swing points, the script uses previously detected short-term swing points as reference points. It examines these points to determine intermediate-term swings and further analyzes intermediate-term swings to identify long-term swing points. This method ensures a thorough and unbiased evaluation of market dynamics, providing traders with reliable insights into market structures.
Once swing levels are detected, the process continues with the analysis of Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BoS). A Market Structure Shift, also known as a Change of Character (CHoCH), is a critical event in price action analysis that suggests a potential shift in market sentiment or direction. It occurs when the price reverses from an established trend, indicating that the current trend may be losing momentum and a reversal could be imminent.
On the other hand, a Break of Structure signifies the continuation of the existing market trend. This event occurs when the price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, confirming the strength and persistence of the prevailing trend.
The indicator analyzes price patterns using a pure price action approach and identifies market structures for short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term periods. The collected data is then normalized and combined using specified weights to calculate the final Market Structure Oscillator value.
