Introduction
This script is a powerful trading strategy tool designed to help users identify market reversal points and make smarter trading decisions using grid thinking.
Background
Traditional grid/martingale strategies have several drawbacks: inefficient use of capital, premature grid boundaries, and trading at fixed intervals, all of which significantly reduce profitability. Since, there is not a gridbot can trail-stop at each level, stay close with the trend, and do better capital usage, tradalive has created this advanced gridbot to address these issues, and enhance the profitability.
How does it work?
Imagine plotting closes on a graph, where the x-axis represents the time-intervals and the y-axis represents the price. Linear regression would fit a straight line through these points that best represents the trend of the data.
In this script utilize the built-in to find consecutive slopes at each moment, and combine them to a smooth trend line. When turning point censored, an entry is placed right after the next bar. Then the gridbot starts working, the upper limit and lower limit is calculated by built-in , for example 3 ATRs above and under the entry price.
There is a 0.2 trailing stop for each step level. Also, when built-in VWMA is rising, this script uses built-in ROC to find the average change of lookback length, then move the grid upwards accordingly.
Size trading is crucial, in gridbot all-in when beginning the trade is risky, because turning point does not guarantee a reversal market upcoming. As a grid trader, we believe the price is relatively cheap near the lower limit, and the price is relatively expensive near the upper limit. Properly sized orders help prevent overexposure and reduce the potential for significant losses.
Features
Trend Detection: Utilizes linear regression to differentiate between upward and downward trends, displaying them as (orange) trend lines on the chart.
Signal Generation: Provides buy or sell signals at reversal points, helping users trade at optimal times.
Adjustable Parameters: Allows users to customize different indicator parameters to fit various trading strategies.

Demostration
Phase one, the orange line is about to turn up.
Phase two, the reversal point is located, and right after the next bar start an entry of gridbot.
Phase Three, the gridbot operates, once level touches, then a 0.2ATR trailing stop is applied on each step.
Phase four, when vwma rises, the grid window follows it by the rate of change of lookback price. If vwma does not move up, then the grid boundaries remain.
Phase five, either side when the current price breaks through the white limits, the gridbot stops. And the trading strategy is done for this round.

Intraday Trend CandlesThe Intraday Trend Candles (ITC) indicator is a Pine Script-based tool designed for traders seeking to visualize market trends effectively. Using a combination of the Look Back Period, a multiplier for true range, and linearly weighted moving averages (LWMA), this indicator calculates dynamic trend limits that adapt to price movements. It identifies key trend shifts by comparing the current price to these dynamic thresholds, resulting in a visually intuitive display of market bias directly on the chart. The indicator is particularly well-suited for intraday trading, as it provides responsive insights tailored to short-term price action.
The ITC plots color-coded candles, highlighting bullish trends in blue and bearish trends in yellow, with gray indicating indecision or trend continuation. This color-coded approach makes it easy to identify reversals and trend dynamics at a glance. Additionally, a trend line is plotted to enhance clarity, signaling whether the price is favoring the upper or lower threshold of the calculated range. With built-in alerts for trend reversals, traders can stay informed about critical market shifts without constantly monitoring the chart. This combination of visual cues and alerts makes the ITC a versatile and powerful tool for traders focusing on momentum and trend-following strategies.

[blackcat] L4 Dynamic Trend Analysis█ OVERVIEW
The script implements a dynamic trend analysis indicator named L4 Dynamic Trend Analysis (L4 DTA). It uses a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and custom functions to determine the trend direction and strength. The primary function is to visually represent the trend conditions and potential entry points on the chart.
█ FEATURES
• Initializes a gradient color array and populates it with a spectrum of colors. This gradient is used for coloring the power trend line based on the RSI value.
• Calculates the Average Linear Moving Average (ALMA) of the closing price.
• Computes the RSI of the ALMA value.
• Retrieves a color from the gradient array based on the RSI value.
• Defines a custom function dynamic_trend_analysis that calculates various trend indicators.
• Utilizes the plot function to display different trend conditions and signals on the chart.
• Adds labels to indicate short ('S') and long ('B') signals based on the trend conditions.
█ HOW TO USE
The script begins by defining the gradient color array.
It then calculates the ALMA and RSI values.
The dynamic_trend_analysis function is called, which computes several trend indicators.
Based on these indicators, the script plots different signals and trend lines on the chart.
Labels are added to indicate short and long signals when specific conditions are met.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
1 — xrf(values, length)
• Purpose: Retrieves the most recent non-NaN value from an array within a specified length.
• Parameters: values (array of float values), length (integer).
• Return Value: The most recent non-NaN value from the array within the specified length.
2 — xbs(cond, lkb)
• Purpose: Checks a condition over a specified lookback period and returns a boolean value.
• Parameters: cond (boolean condition), lkb (lookback period).
• Return Value: Boolean value indicating whether the condition was met over the lookback period.
3 — dynamic_trend_analysis(high, low, close)
• Purpose: Computes several trend indicators including short-side and long-side prices, crossovers, trend strength, and power trend.
• Parameters: high, low, close (price series).
• Return Value: An array containing trend strength (cc), moving average (ma1), trend (trend), and power trend (power_trend).
█ NOTES
• Gradient Color Array: The script uses a gradient color array to dynamically color the power trend line based on the RSI value, providing a visual indication of momentum.
• Custom Functions: The use of custom functions (xrf, xbs, dynamic_trend_analysis) encapsulates complex logic, making the script modular and easier to maintain.
• Trend Analysis: The script combines multiple indicators (EMA, RSI) to create a comprehensive trend analysis, providing multiple signals for trading decisions.

2-Year MA Multiplier [UAlgo]The 2-Year MA Multiplier is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders and investors in identifying potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. By plotting the 2-year moving average (MA) of an asset's closing price alongside an upper band set at five times this moving average, the indicator provides visual cues to assess long-term price trends and significant market movements.
🔶 Key Features
2-Year Moving Average (MA): Calculates the simple moving average of the asset's closing price over a 730-day period, representing approximately two years.
Visual Indicators: Plots the 2-year MA in forest green and the upper band in firebrick red for clear differentiation.
Fills the area between the 2-year MA and the upper band to highlight the normal trading range.
Uses color-coded fills to indicate overbought (tomato red) and oversold (cornflower blue) conditions based on the asset's closing price relative to the bands.
🔶 Idea
The concept behind the 2-Year MA Multiplier is rooted in the cyclical nature of markets, particularly in assets like Bitcoin. By analyzing long-term price movements, the indicator aims to identify periods of significant deviation from the norm, which may signal potential buying or selling opportunities.
2-year MA smooths out short-term volatility, providing a clearer view of the asset's long-term trend. This timeframe is substantial enough to capture major market cycles, making it a reliable baseline for analysis.
Multiplying the 2-year MA by five establishes an upper boundary that has historically correlated with market tops. When the asset's price exceeds this upper band, it may indicate overbought conditions, suggesting a potential for price correction. Conversely, when the price falls below the 2-year MA, it may signal oversold conditions, presenting potential buying opportunities.

[AlbaTherium] Volume Venturius Premium Volume Venturius Premium
Introduction
The Volume Venturius Premium is an advanced market analysis tool designed to deeply investigate the behavior of active market participants. By focusing exclusively on executed market orders, Volume Venturius offers traders a unique perspective on buy and sell volumes. Unlike traditional order books that track passive orders, this indicator isolates active orders, shedding light on real market dynamics.
Chapter 1: Understanding Market Participants
1.1 Categories of Market Participants
Market participants can be classified into several categories based on their:
Size : The volume of trades executed.
Influence : Their ability to initiate bull or bear campaigns.
Strategy : The trading methods employed, such as scalping, swing trading, or high-frequency trading.
Objectives : Whether their focus is on speculation, hedging, or arbitrage.
Time Horizon : Short-term versus long-term goals.
Behavioral Patterns : Their reaction to liquidity levels or price movements.
1.2 Objectives of Market Participants
Each category pursues specific objectives, such as profit-making or risk management. Regulatory reports like the Commitment of Traders (COT) provide weekly insights into the positions and intentions of major players.
Chapter 2: The Philosophy of Volume Analysis
2.1 Active Orders vs. Passive Orders
Unlike passive orders waiting to be filled at specific prices, active orders directly impact market prices. By focusing on these executed orders, Volume Venturius Premium provides traders with actionable insights into market trends and momentum.
2.2 Wyckoff’s Market Dynamics
According to Wyckoff, markets operate in two primary phases:
Manipulation: Where large participants accumulate or distribute positions to prepare for a move.
Expansion: The phase where price trends begin to unfold, either in a bullish or bearish direction.
Wyckoff’s theory emphasizes understanding how major players manipulate the market to identify accumulation or distribution zones. Volume Venturius Premium aids in pinpointing these manipulative actions by analyzing volume and order flow data.
Chapter 3: The Secrets of Order Flow and Volume
3.1 Unveiling Market Control
By studying the positioning and execution volumes of large players, traders can discern who holds control in the market. Volume Venturius Premium identifies the balance of power and tracks shifts that signal potential trend reversals.
3.2 Behavioral Patterns in Volume
Key metrics tracked by Volume Venturius Premium include:
Volume Clusters : Areas of concentrated buying or selling activity.
Directional Bias : Whether market participants are net buyers or sellers.
Momentum Shifts : Changes in execution speed and volume that may precede major moves.
3.2.1 Volume Clusters, Directional Bias and Directional Bias: Areas of Concentrated Buying or Selling Activity
Volume clusters play a crucial role in understanding market dynamics by highlighting areas where aggressive buying or selling activity is most concentrated. These clusters often serve as key decision zones, providing insights into potential reversals, breakouts, or continuations. To better visualize and interpret these zones, a distinct color-coding system has been implemented. Each color represents a specific market condition or level of activity, allowing for a more intuitive analysis of volume behavior and its influence on price movement.
Below is a detailed explanation of the color logic used to represent these clusters and their significance within the trading framework.
Color Interpretation and Meaning :
Extra Extreme Zones
These zones highlight areas where clusters of aggressive buyers or sellers are most heavily concentrated. They represent critical levels for identifying potential reversals or strong continuations.
Bright Red (#ff003c) : Represents extra-extreme sell zones, where aggressive sellers dominate.
Meaning: Indicates extreme selling pressure, often signaling potential exhaustion of sellers.
Bright Blue (#001eff) : Represents extra-extreme buy zones, where aggressive buyers are most active.
Meaning: Shows extreme buying pressure, possibly marking a saturation point for buyers.
Main Zones
These zones help identify key levels based on volume activity and well-defined clusters.
Dark Red (#d60033) : Represents strong selling pressure.
Orange (#ff8000) : Indicates significant selling pressure that begins to fade.
Yellow (#ffff00) : Represents moderate selling pressure, signaling a potential slowdown.
White (#ffffff) : Marks transition zones, which are interesting entry points for potential reversals or continuations.
Transition Zones (Frontier Zones)
These zones indicate intermediate movements and potential shifts in momentum.
Transparent Black (#000000, 50) : Represents transition areas, where the market tests boundaries between buyers and sellers.
Meaning: These are critical decision points.
Neutral Zone (Sea Zone)- Trend Zones
These zones represent more balanced market activity, where neither buyers nor sellers dominate clearly.
Transparent Green (#00e040, 25) : Indicates slight bullish activity in a neutral zone.
Transparent Red (#e01a00, 25) : Indicates slight bearish activity in a neutral zone.
This color logic allows you to pinpoint areas where volume clusters show a clear dominance, exhaustion, or optimal entry opportunities.
3.3 Divergences Between Price and Volume
Divergences between price and volume are critical for identifying key shifts in market sentiment. Volume Venturius Premium distinguishes two main types of divergences: Lack of Participation and Absorption, each offering valuable signals for potential reversals or continuations.
Lack of Participation
This divergence occurs when price movements are not supported by corresponding volume dynamics, signaling a reduction in activity from significant market participants.
1. Bullish Lack of Participation:
Characteristics : Price is making lower lows, but volume is making higher lows.
This indicates waning selling pressure as prices drop.
Inference : A potential bullish reversal may occur. Traders could consider looking for opportunities to go long.
2.Bearish Lack of Participation:
Characteristics : Price is making higher highs, but volume is making lower highs. This suggests diminishing buying pressure even as prices rise.
Inference : A potential bearish reversal might follow. Traders might position to go short.
Absorption
Absorption occurs when larger market participants neutralize the pressure from smaller participants, often leading to significant market moves.
1.Bullish Absorption:
Characteristics : Price is making higher bottoms, but volume is making lower bottoms.
This reflects sellers being trapped as their selling efforts are absorbed by larger buyers.
Inference : A potential upward breakout is likely. Traders may look for opportunities to go long.
2.Bearish Absorption:
Characteristics : Price is making lower tops, but volume is making higher tops. This indicates buyers being trapped as larger sellers absorb their buying activity.
Inference : A downward breakout is probable. Traders may consider positioning to go short.

Filters out signals in non-trending conditions.
Focuses on retracements near the 50 EMA for precise entries.
Supports alert notifications for Buy and Sell signals.
Includes a cooldown mechanism to prevent signal spamming.
Allows time-based filtering to restrict signals to a specific trading window.
How It Works
Trending Market Conditions
The indicator is most effective when the market exhibits a clear trend. It uses two exponential moving averages (50 EMA and 200 EMA) to determine the overall market trend:
Bullish Trend: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA, and both EMAs have upward slopes.
Bearish Trend: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA, and both EMAs have downward slopes.
Buy and Sell Conditions
Buy Signal:
The market is in a bullish trend.
Stochastic oscillator is in the oversold zone.
Price retraces upwards, breaking away from the recent low by more than 1.5 ATR.
Price is near the 50 EMA (within the defined proximity percentage).
Sell Signal:
The market is in a bearish trend.
Stochastic oscillator is in the overbought zone.
Price retraces downwards, breaking away from the recent high by more than 1.5 ATR.
Price is near the 50 EMA.
Outputs
Signals:
Buy Signal: Green "BUY" label below the price bar.
Sell Signal: Red "SELL" label above the price bar.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered for Buy and Sell signals if conditions are met within the specified time window (if enabled).
EMA Visualization:
50 EMA (blue line).
200 EMA (red line).
Limitations
Not Suitable for Non-Trending Markets: This script is designed for trending conditions. Sideways or choppy markets may produce false signals.
Proximity Tolerance: Adjust the proximityPercent to prevent signals from triggering too frequently during minor oscillations around the 50 EMA.
No Guarantee of Accuracy: As with any technical indicator, it should be used in conjunction with other tools and analysis.
Enhanced Reversal DetectorEnhanced Reversal Detector - Script Description
Overview:
The Enhanced Reversal Detector is a highly refined indicator designed to identify precise trend reversals in financial markets. It improves upon the original reversal detection logic by incorporating additional filters for trend confirmation (using EMA), volume spikes, and candle patterns. These enhancements significantly increase the reliability and accuracy of reversal signals, making it an excellent tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
Key Features
Candle Lookback Logic:
The indicator evaluates historical price action over a user-defined lookback period to detect potential reversal zones.
Bullish reversal conditions are met when price consistently tests lows, and bearish reversal conditions are met when price tests highs.
Trend Confirmation (EMA Filter):
To ensure that reversal signals align with the broader market trend, the indicator incorporates an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) filter.
Bullish signals are only triggered when the price is above the EMA, while bearish signals are only triggered when the price is below the EMA.
Volume Spike Filter:
The indicator checks for significant increases in trading volume to confirm that the reversal is supported by strong market activity.
Volume spikes are calculated as trading volume exceeding a multiple of the 20-bar average volume (default: 1.5x).
Confirmation Period:
Users can define a confirmation window within which reversal signals must be validated.
This reduces false positives and ensures only strong reversals are considered.
Non-Repainting Mode:
Offers a non-repainting option, where signals are based on confirmed conditions from previous bars, ensuring reliability for backtesting.
Visual and Alert Features:
Clear visual markers on the chart indicate bullish (green triangle) and bearish (red triangle) reversal points.
Alert notifications can be enabled for both bullish and bearish reversals, keeping traders informed in real-time.
Inputs
Candle Lookback: Number of candles to evaluate for reversal conditions.
Confirm Within: Number of candles within which a reversal must be validated.
Non-Repainting Mode: Option to enable or disable repainting for signals.
EMA Length: The length of the Exponential Moving Average used for trend confirmation.
Volume Spike Multiplier: Multiplier for identifying significant increases in trading volume.
How It Works
Reversal Detection:
Bullish signals are triggered when:
Price consistently tests recent lows (lookback period).
Price closes above the EMA.
A significant volume spike occurs.
Bearish signals are triggered under opposite conditions (price testing highs, closing below EMA, and volume spike).
Signal Filtering:
Incorporates EMA and volume-based filters to eliminate false positives and focus on high-confidence reversal signals.
Alert Notifications:
Alerts notify users of bullish or bearish reversal opportunities as soon as they are detected.
Use Cases
Scalping and Day Trading:
Ideal for identifying reversals on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts).
Swing Trading:
Works effectively on higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or daily charts) for capturing significant
trend reversals.
Volatile Markets:
Particularly useful in high-volatility markets like cryptocurrencies or forex.
Customization Tips
Adjust the lookback period to fine-tune the sensitivity of the reversal detection.
Increase the volume spike multiplier for markets with irregular trading volumes to focus on significant moves.
Experiment with the EMA length to align signals with your trading strategy's preferred trend duration.
Conclusion
The Enhanced Reversal Detector combines advanced price action analysis, trend confirmation, and market participation filters to deliver high-accuracy reversal signals. With its customizable settings and robust filtering mechanisms, this indicator is an invaluable tool for identifying profitable trading opportunities while minimizing noise and false signals.
Weekly Opening Range and Previous Data for FuturesThis indicator will not predict future price action.
This indicator is a time based range tool. These types of tools are great to use when there is not any historical data to look back on (as in all time highs/lows). The user can use this indicator to measure distributions, use deviations of the range to identify support/resistance levels, and see how historical price action influences current price action. This indicator is unique because it uses the price range from the open of the futures market on Sunday 18:00 America/New York to the open of the Bond Market 8:00 America/New York as the range for all calculations.
This indicator collects the multiple points of data from each day of the week, and gives the user many options on how to use the data that is collected. The amount of data collected is based on the time frame of the chart (best used on a 15 minute chart), but is limited to 30 minute charts.
Data Collected:
Opening Range for the week
High of Each Day
Low of Each Day
Close of Each Day
Initially the range is plotted on the chart as a box, when the Bond market opens the high/low/mid is plotted, as well as the current week open and previous week close.
How the data is used.
Intraday: Monday does not have a previous day to pull data on, so all data for Monday is intraday data. When a new high is made, the indicator will search all previous data in the lookback period for the current day , find all highs that are within a set variance (determined by the user), and plot the corresponding lows from the matching days. It will do the same for new lows that are made, with corresponding historical highs. All of these levels are plotted on the chart, as well as the Average High, Average Low. If price moves beyond either Average, the Average of all days that distributed higher than the Average is plotted on the chart as Min/Max Average.
Previous Day Data: Tuesday - Friday. After the close of the day, the user has the option to choose either the High, Low, or Close of that day to find previous data that matches within a variance determined by the user; or an option to find the n closest matches (up to 20). That data is then matched to the corresponding next day data and plotted on the chart as a box. Example: Monday closes at +1 Deviation (Dev) of the Weekly Opening Range (WOR). The user sets the variance at 0.5 (0.5 Dev of the WOR), the indicator will search the lookback period for all Mondays that closed between 1.25 Dev and 0.75 Dev of the WOR. The matching Mondays will then be matched to their corresponding Tuesdays and the data for the High and Low from those Tuesdays will be placed on the chart as a box overlaying the current Tuesday. Each match is numbered so that corresponding Highs and Lows of each historical day can be identified. The same can be done for either the High or Low of the Previous Day.
The indicator has a table that can be shown.
Data shown in table:
Current Extension of the WOR
Maximum Extension of the WOR
Average WOR in %
Current WOR in %
Average Range for the day in % based on data set
Current Range for the day in %
Number of days in the data set
Number of Previous Day Matches
Variance for previous day data
Number of Intraday High Matches
Number of Intraday Low Matches
Variance for Intraday Matches
The table as well as all lines and boxes have the option of being shown or not, as well as have their settings customized to fit the users chart layout.
As with any indicator, do not let the data shown change your trading model. Past performance is not indicative to future performance.
LIT - ConfirmationsOverview
The LIT - Confirmations Indicator is a dynamic checklist tool designed for traders who uses LIT Strategy (Liquidity Inducement Theory) following liquidity and smart money concepts as benefit. This tool allows users to document and track essential trading confirmations directly on their TradingView charts, offering a structured and visual approach to market analysis.
What Makes This Unique?
Unlike other open-source tools, the LIT - Confirmations Indicator introduces a fully interactive and customizable table directly on the chart. This table provides real-time feedback with clear ✅ (checked) and ❌ (unchecked) visual indicators for each confirmation. The user can position the table on the chart according to their preference, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into their trading workflow without obscuring critical chart data.
How It Works
1. Predefined Confirmations
The indicator includes a set of commonly used trading confirmations:
Identify Liquidity: Mark areas where liquidity might pool.
Inducement: Confirm the presence of inducements before market reversals.
Relevant Break of Structure (BOS): Validate critical structural changes.
Mitigation after RBoS: Check for mitigation following a BOS.
Smart Money Trap (SMT): Identify traps often utilized by smart money.
Timing: Ensure trades are entered during high-probability time windows.
Mitigation to the Leftside: Confirm whether price action aligns with prior mitigations.
Set Targets: Define and document logical take-profit or stop-loss levels.
2.Interactive Table Display
A table is dynamically created on the chart, showing all confirmations with their current state (checked or unchecked).
Users can choose the position of the table (top, middle, or bottom and left, center, or right) and customize its background color for better visibility.
3. Customization
All confirmations are toggled through the input settings, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to their unique strategies.
The display can be easily adjusted to match the trader’s preferences without cluttering the chart.
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Open the settings panel to activate the relevant confirmations for your analysis.
3. Use the Display Settings section to adjust the table's position and background color.
4. View the table on your chart to track selected confirmations in real-time.
Who Is This For?
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Use Liquidity Inducent Theory strategy in their analysis.
Prefer a structured and systematic trading approach.
Need an on-chart tool to document confirmations without relying on external notes or tools.
Why Closed Source?
The logic behind the interactive table and confirmation system is specifically tailored to LIT practitioners and is not publicly available in existing open-source scripts. The closed-source nature of this script protects its unique implementation, ensuring the integrity and exclusivity of the tool.
Disclaimer
This indicator does not provide trading signals or strategies. It is a tool to document user-defined confirmations and should be used in conjunction with a thorough understanding of market behavior and risk management practices.
Logarithmic Regression AlternativeLogarithmic regression is typically used to model situations where growth or decay accelerates rapidly at first and then slows over time. Bitcoin is a good example.
𝑦 = 𝑎 + 𝑏 * ln(𝑥)
With this logarithmic regression (log reg) formula 𝑦 (price) is calculated with constants 𝑎 and 𝑏, where 𝑥 is the bar_index .
Instead of using the sum of log x/y values, together with the dot product of log x/y and the sum of the square of log x-values, to calculate a and b, I wanted to see if it was possible to calculate a and b differently.
In this script, the log reg is calculated with several different assumed a & b values, after which the log reg level is compared to each Swing. The log reg, where all swings on average are closest to the level, produces the final 𝑎 & 𝑏 values used to display the levels.
🔶 USAGE
The script shows the calculated logarithmic regression value from historical swings, provided there are enough swings, the price pattern fits the log reg model, and previous swings are close to the calculated Top/Bottom levels.
When the price approaches one of the calculated Top or Bottom levels, these levels could act as potential cycle Top or Bottom.
Since the logarithmic regression depends on swing values, each new value will change the calculation. A well-fitted model could not fit anymore in the future.
Swings are based on Weekly bars. A Top Swing, for example, with Swing setting 30, is the highest value in 60 weeks. Thirty bars at the left and right of the Swing will be lower than the Top Swing. This means that a confirmation is triggered 30 weeks after the Swing. The period will be automatically multiplied by 7 on the daily chart, where 30 becomes 210 bars.
Please note that the goal of this script is not to show swings rapidly; it is meant to show the potential next cycle's Top/Bottom levels.
🔹 Multiple Levels
The script includes the option to display 3 Top/Bottom levels, which uses different values for the swing calculations.
Top: 'high', 'maximum open/close' or 'close'
Bottom: 'low', 'minimum open/close' or 'close'
These levels can be adjusted up/down with a percentage.
Lastly, an "Average" is included for each set, which will only be visible when "AVG" is enabled, together with both Top and Bottom levels.
🔹 Notes
Users have to check the validity of swings; the above example only uses 1 Top Swing for its calculations, making the Top level unreliable.
Here, 1 of the Bottom Swings is pretty far from the bottom level, changing the swing settings can give a more reliable bottom level where all swings are close to that level.
Note the display was set at "Logarithmic", it can just as well be shown as "Regular"
In the example below, the price evolution does not fit the logarithmic regression model, where growth should accelerate rapidly at first and then slows over time.
Please note that this script can only be used on a daily timeframe or higher; using it at a lower timeframe will show a warning. Also, it doesn't work with bar-replay.
🔶 DETAILS
The code gathers data from historical swings. At the last bar, all swings are calculated with different a and b values. The a and b values which results in the smallest difference between all swings and Top/Bottom levels become the final a and b values.
The ranges of a and b are between -20.000 to +20.000, which means a and b will have the values -20.000, -19.999, -19.998, -19.997, -19.996, ... -> +20.000.
As you can imagine, the number of calculations is enormous. Therefore, the calculation is split into parts, first very roughly and then very fine.
The first calculations are done between -20 and +20 (-20, -19, -18, ...), resulting in, for example, 4.
The next set of calculations is performed only around the previous result, in this case between 3 (4-1) and 5 (4+1), resulting in, for example, 3.9. The next set goes even more in detail, for example, between 3.8 (3.9-0.1) and 4.0 (3.9 + 0.1), and so on.
1) -20 -> +20 , then loop with step 1 (result (example): 4 )
2) 4 - 1 -> 4 +1 , then loop with step 0.1 (result (example): 3.9 )
3) 3.9 - 0.1 -> 3.9 +0.1 , then loop with step 0.01 (result (example): 3.93 )
4) 3.93 - 0.01 -> 3.93 +0.01, then loop with step 0.001 (result (example): 3.928)
This ensures complicated calculations with less effort.
These calculations are done at the last bar, where the levels are displayed, which means you can see different results when a new swing is found.
Also, note that this indicator has been developed for a daily (or higher) timeframe chart.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Market Environment🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Market Environment Indicator provides traders with an essential contextual framework for analyzing price movements. Built on the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool offers a structured view of how institutional players drive markets through liquidity manipulation and price level interactions. By defining the market environment, the indicator helps traders focus on the most relevant price zones, reducing distractions and enhancing decision-making.
At its core, the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) creates a clear structure of protected highs/lows and Premium/Discount zones , highlighting key areas for potential price reactions. This framework gives traders a lens to interpret market behavior and concentrate on meaningful liquidity zones and price action. The indicator helps traders navigate the market with precision, spotting significant opportunities while filtering out market noise. Indeed, the IBDR isn't always easily identifiable, and not every move will form a distinct dealing range.
This indicator goes beyond mere price levels… It reveals the larger market context in which prices evolve. By mastering this environment, traders can align their strategies with institutional logic and make well-informed decisions.
💎 FEATURES
The Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) is a crucial concept within the ICT methodology that helps traders identify the market environment across multiple timeframes, specifically the premium and discount zones. The IBDR delineates areas where traders have the potential to buy low and sell high.
Its extremes are defined by the sweep of both buy-side and sell-side liquidity . These levels indicate the boundaries within which price is expected to evolve . Understanding these boundaries allows traders to determine where it is appropriate to enter or exit trades.
The primary goal of utilizing the IBDR is to capitalize on price movements by buying at discounted levels and selling at premium levels. This strategy aligns with the fundamental principle of trading: to buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices, maximizing profit potential.
By visualizing the IBDR on your charts, you can gain valuable insights into the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions that align with the institutional approach to buying and selling.
This chart illustrates the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) applied to the US100 index, displaying two from different timeframes: a 1-hour (1h) IBDR on the left and a 30-minute (30m) IBDR on the right. This multi-timeframe view provides essential context for price action analysis.
The 1h IBDR could here function as the primary reference range, establishing key boundaries (High and Low) for price movement. Within this range, the Equilibrium (midpoint) separates the Premium zone (above) from the Discount zone (below). The 0.25 and 0.75 levels add further precision by subdividing these zones.
Price action then flows between these zones, creating and targeting liquidity at higher and lower levels through Relative Equal Highs and Lows. A strong upward movement into the deeper level of the Premium Zone captures high-side liquidity (with a notable reaction at the FVG on the left), forming a secondary 30m IBDR. After this liquidity sweep, the remaining liquidity is on the low side. Price then reverses downward toward it. Here, the 30m IBDR would suggest a confirmation for a potential sell entry by targeting the IBDR lows.
The relationship between the broader 1h IBDR, the more detailed 30m IBDR, and all related levels creates a powerful analytical framework. The larger timeframe provides context, while the smaller one reveals specific trading opportunities by providing entry confirmations.
✨ SETTINGS
IBDR Metrics: Adjust the timeframe and sensitivity for calculating the IBDR so traders can adapt the indicator to both short-term intraday movements and longer-term trends.
Premium/Discount Zones: Customize the levels such as 0, 0.5, 1, and other levels like 0.25 and 0.75 by default and their displayed colors and associated labels.
Alerts: Configure the alerts for Premium/Discount zones, High/Low breaks, and new IBDR, ensuring traders are kept up to date on key market events.
🎯 CONCLUSION
The Market Environment indicator serves as a powerful tool for analyzing and navigating market structure through liquidity zones. It helps identify optimal buy and sell areas while aligning with the institutional logic of major market players. While its features provide a valuable edge, it’s essential to remember that none should be used on its own, and many more factors go into being a profitable trader.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Momentum Structures🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Momentum Structures Indicator builds upon the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) to give traders a clearer view of market dynamics. These methods reveal how institutional trading activity shapes price movements, particularly through different types of market liquidity.
The indicator is designed to provide traders with advanced insights into market dynamics by focusing on key price imbalances and higher-timeframe structures . By combining these elements, the indicator allows users to analyze price behavior across multiple timeframes, helping them anticipate potential liquidity pools and price reversals. The emphasis on price imbalances and liquidity zones makes it a versatile tool for both intraday and longer-term strategies, providing critical insights for understanding market cycles and potential turning points.
💎 FEATURES
Imbalance Bar Colors / Zones
Imbalances are fundamental components of the ICT methodology, highlighting areas where price accelerates, creating gaps that may indicate a lack of liquidity . These voids often point to potential reversal or continuation zones in the price action.
An imbalance typically arises when supply and demand are out of balance, resulting in a gap between price levels. Traders keep a close eye on these gaps, as they could present opportunities to enter trades when the price revisits them , as they suggest a strong institutional interest.
We can notice two types of imbalances… A Fair Value Gap (FVG) usually forms from three consecutive candles, defining the space between the wicks of the first and last candle. Conversely, a Volume Imbalance (VI) occurs when a gap appears between the opening and closing prices of two consecutive candles. When these imbalances align with FVGs, they offer a well-rounded framework for assessing market strength.
By analyzing both FVGs and VIs together, traders can gain valuable insight into potential price movements and better evaluate the likelihood of continuation or reversal.
This chart illustrates the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances (VI) within the GBPUSD price action. The FVG Bar Color and FVG Zone represent the same Fair Value Gaps, and similarly, the VI Bar Color and VI Zone display the same Volume Imbalances. They highlight areas where rapid price movements have created gaps in the market. These gaps indicate potential zones for trade entries or exits as the price may return to fill them. As we can see on the chart, the major part of imbalances created has already been filled. They constitute really interesting Point of Interest (POI).
The 50% FVG line marks the midpoint of the gap, which is often considered an important level for price action. A clear example appears in the Bearish FVG on the top left, where price first filled it below the midline, creating a small reaction. The price then liquidated this "fake mitigation" by moving just above the midline before beginning its significant downward movement. This demonstrates the crucial role of imbalances and how precisely price interacts with them.
Traders can use this information to identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on the interaction of price with these gaps and volume imbalances, aiding in the development of their trading strategies.
PO3 Candles (Power of Three)
The Power of Three is a critical concept in the ICT methodology that analyzes Higher Timeframe (HTF) candles focusing on the opening price, high wick, low wick, and closing price. This framework helps traders understand the current market cycle, in three phases , and its trading implications.
Accumulation Phase: In this initial phase, the price consolidates around the opening price as the market gathers liquidity. This often signals that larger players are positioning for the next move.
Manipulation Phase: Represented by the candle wicks, this phase indicates the extreme points where liquidity grabs often occur. Observing these wicks helps traders identify the end of the accumulation phase and potential turning points.
Distribution Phase: The candle body reflects a decisive price movement in one direction , following accumulation and manipulation. Traders align with the direction of this phase to capture the “real candle move”.
Our indicator provides you with the valuable capability to integrate the True Day Range, as defined by ICT. This concept, rooted in institutional logic, defines a trading day as starting at 00:00 New York time. You can customize it to match your trading style and analysis needs.
You can also overlay imbalances (FVG and VI) directly onto PO3 Candles, seamlessly combining imbalance detection with high-timeframe price action. This approach gives you a sharper market perspective, uncovering potential turning points with greater clarity.
In summary, PO3 Candles help traders assess the market structure and identify cycle positions on HTF candles, enabling them to make more strategic trading decisions, which allows for better entry and exit timing, avoiding traps, and seizing the best opportunities to capture significant market moves.
This chart illustrates the application of the Power of Three concept to EURUSD price action, highlighting key phases of market behavior.
In this example, we observe the Daily candles, where a significant Bullish imbalance appears from previous days, forming a Fair Value Gap (FVG). Additionally, there’s a small Volume Imbalance (VI) at the candle's opening, signaling liquidity that the price needs to fill.
Now, focusing on the Weekly candle, we can clearly identify its phases. First, there's an accumulation phase around the opening price, which, as shown by the Daily candles, took some time to develop. Then, the manipulation phase occurs, signaled by the upper wick of the Weekly candle, which liquidates the previously created accumulation. It’s time to look for a potential selling position... Finally, the price falls, beginning to form its bearish body and completing the real move of the week.
This framework allows traders to better understand the market structure and make informed decisions based on the current cycle.
Standard Deviation (STD)
The Standard Deviation (STD) is a concept within the ICT methodology that focuses on identifying periods of consolidation within the market. Specifically, it examines the Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR) , which occurs between 13:00 and 23:00 New York time. During this period, the market often exhibits consolidation , creating an environment where price action stabilizes before making significant moves.
This consolidation forms the basis of the Standard Deviation (STD) concept. This is based on the idea that the volatility observed during this consolidation phase can be used to anticipate future market volatility. Once this consolidation is identified, the STD framework duplicates the established range both above and below the consolidation area.
As price approaches these duplicated levels, it offers traders critical information on where to anticipate potential reactions. If the price nears the upper boundary of the consolidation, it suggests a potential reversal point, indicating an opportunity to consider selling. Conversely, if the price approaches the lower boundary, it may signal an opportunity to look for buying positions . This duplication could enable traders to determine potential high and low points for the trading day or week for example.
Finally, the Standard Deviation (STD) concept provides a valuable framework for identifying potential key reaction points in the market by leveraging consolidation within the CBDR. By duplicating these ranges, traders can anticipate significant price movements and refine their strategies.
This chart illustrates the Standard Deviation (STD) concept applied to EURUSD price action. The highlighted areas in blue indicate high duplications and low duplications derived from the consolidation identified during the Central Bank Dealing Range (CBDR), marked by the dark gray rectangle.
The high duplications represent potential resistance levels, suggesting areas where the price may encounter selling pressure, while the low duplications signify potential support levels, indicating where buying interest could emerge.
The annotations emphasize how price reacts at these duplicated levels, showing the critical role of the STD in determining where price movements may stall or reverse. In this example, the price responded perfectly to both an upward and a downward duplication, confirming that these levels could represent the day's high and low, an observation validated here. This highlights the precision of price movements, with the price stopping exactly at the full duplication levels (but we can not that the price could also have paused at the midline levels, indicated by the dashed gray lines).
This visualization helps traders anticipate potential reactions and align their strategies with market dynamics, ensuring informed decision-making based on established price behavior.
✨ SETTINGS
Imbalance Bar Colors / Zones: Choose to display FVGs, VIs, or both, with customizable color settings. Choose to extend zones or set them to be removed when mitigated.
PO3 Candles: Customize the PO3 Candles for different timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly), including the calculation Mode (Classic or True Day Range) and timezone associated, and set your body, border, and wick preferred colors. The Imbalance Bar Color and FVG Zones can also be displayed on these HTF candles, as they are configured in their settings.
STD: Select the timeframe on which to base it and configure the number of duplications and midline settings. You can also define the time range and timezone related to consolidation detection, giving you control over when and where the STD should apply.
🎯 CONCLUSION
The Momentum Structures Indicator combines the core principles of ICT and Smart Money Concepts to provide traders with advanced tools for understanding market dynamics. By focusing on key elements like imbalances and liquidity zones, it offers a comprehensive framework for analyzing price behavior. This indicator empowers traders to identify key market phases, anticipate potential reversals, and refine their entry and exit points with precision. While its features provide a valuable edge, it’s essential to remember that none should be used on its own and many more factors go into being a profitable trader.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Time & Price Zones🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Time and Price Zones indicator builds upon the foundational concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC). These methodologies analyze the behavior of institutional traders (known as "smart money") by focusing on liquidity, key price levels, and market timing.
Liquidity refers to areas with high concentrations of pending orders (stops, take-profits, entries) in the market. Large institutions efficiently need to execute their massive orders without causing excessive slippage. To achieve this, they strategically create and exploit liquidity pools by driving the price toward areas where retail traders cluster their positions.
Then, through "liquidity grabs" or "stop hunts,” institutions accumulate or distribute positions at optimal prices . This strategy allows them to fill large orders with minimal market impact, typically clearing out retail traders' positions before the price reverses.
This indicator helps traders apply these principles by merging time-based and price-based analysis tools for better market understanding. By combining high-impact sessions like Kill Zones with pivotal price markers such as Previous Highs and Lows, traders can see where institutional activity intersects with liquidity pools, improving their decision-making.
This powerful combination allows users to monitor market dynamics in real time, helping them spot sentiment shifts and identify crucial turning points more effectively.
💎 FEATURES
Kill Zones
Kill Zones are critical periods of the trading day characterized by heightened institutional activity, resulting in increased liquidity and significant price movements. By recognizing these zones, you can strategically focus your efforts on the most advantageous moments for trading.
The Asian Session , which runs from 5 PM to 1 AM New York time, serves as an essential liquidity provider before the onset of more volatile trading periods. This session is intricately linked to the Smart Money Tool (SMT - See below), as the highs and lows established during this period provide foundational liquidity levels. You can set alerts when these levels are breached , allowing you to stay informed without constant chart monitoring and make timely trading decisions.
Transitioning into the London Kill Zone from 2 to 5 AM New York time marks the beginning of the European session, often associated with increased volatility. Following this, the New York Kill Zone , occurring from 7 to 10 AM , sees significant overlap between the London and New York sessions, where liquidity flows intensify and frequently correlate with notable price reversals. Finally, the London Close from 10 to 12 PM signifies the end of the European session, often ending the day with a retracement in the daily range.
Thanks to the timezone you can select relative to a region, Kill Zones will automatically adapt to time changes throughout the year and between different brokers , ensuring accurate Kill Zone timings without manual adjustments.
Incorporating our advanced Kill Zones indicator into your trading strategy gives you unparalleled insights and enhanced functionality. With integrated alerts for breaches of key levels, you can stay informed and ready to act without the need for constant chart monitoring, allowing you to focus on executing your trading strategies effectively.
We can see on this chart the identified Kill Zones during the trading day on EURUSD , including the Asian Session in gray, which tends to consolidate slightly (creating liquidity), the London Kill Zone in orange, which tends to move fast, often taking Asian quickly, the New York Kill Zone in green, with always a lot of movements, and the London Close in blue, seeming rather to retrace.
The midline indicates the 50% mark of the session, serving as a reference point for potential price reactions. Additionally, the highs and lows established during the Asian Session are linked to the Smart Money Tool (SMT) and can trigger alerts when breached. Here, you could have received an alert when Asian Low (marked AL) and Asian High (marked AH) were swept.
Previous & Open Levels
Previous and Open levels are key elements in ICT methodology, showing important price points from major timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly). These levels (Previous High, Low, Open, and their separators) help traders understand price dynamics and anticipate market shifts.
The Previous levels connect directly to the Smart Money Tool (SMT - See below) as they provide foundational liquidity levels. In ICT methodology, previous are levels where many traders place their Stop Loss, thus creating liquidity. This helps you understand potential market reactions and whether prices will likely continue their trend or reverse.
You’ll be instantly notified whenever the price interacts with any of these Previous levels. This means you can stay informed about critical market movements without the need to monitor your charts constantly.
The indicator also displays Opening prices and includes separators for daily, weekly, and monthly levels, offering a clear market overview.
Open levels can act as simplified indicators of Premium and Discount Zones. To be above the opening price can be considered as the Premium Zone , where the market offers higher prices, typically suitable for selling opportunities. Conversely, to be below this price can be considered as the Discount Zone , where prices are relatively lower, offering potential buying opportunities.
These visual elements help you identify crucial market zones that reflect both past price action and current market dynamics.
Our indicator offers you the exclusive ability to integrate the True Day Range, as described by ICT. Based on institutional logic, this concept defines the trading day starting at 00:00 New York time. You can adapt this flexible feature to match your trading style and analysis needs.
By incorporating our advanced Previous levels indicator into your trading arsenal, you gain powerful insights and enhanced functionality.
The chart above displays key Previous and open levels on EURUSD , including the Month, Week, and Day lines, along with separators for enhanced clarity. All levels are based on the True Day Range Mode. The notes indicate significant price points, highlighting how the price interacts with these important levels, which helps us to understand it…
We can start with the biggest liquidity, the Previous Month. In this example, we can see the PMH, and the price seems to have used this level as a reversal point. The PM levels are indeed significant liquidity zones. We can observe the creation of wicks that interact with this level, signaling a liquidity grab.
Following this, the price drops quickly before rebounding, creating a liquidity range, that will probably be liquidated then… This is why it rises again to form what is now the PDH (Previous Day High), using it as liquidity (inducement) while using the PWH (Previous Week High) as a rebound level. The PWH is indeed a High Resistance (HR) area since there is only a few liquidity at this point thanks to the liquidity grab. The price has no reason to move higher.
Looking ahead, we can forecast that the price may continue its decline, potentially targeting lower liquidity levels. There is likely additional liquidity beneath the current range, particularly near the PDL (Previous Day Low) and PWL (Previous Week Low).
Additionally, we can note that at this point, the price was above the D.O.P (Daily Open) and W.O.P (Weekly Open), areas where selling would be more favorable. The price reacts significantly around these levels, creating large wicks, demonstrating their importance.
SMT Dashboard (Smart Money Tool)
The Smart Money Tool (SMT) is a powerful concept within the ICT methodology that enables you to compare various assets based on liquidity uptake from significant price levels.
By utilizing the SMT, you can analyze any asset , whether it’s a currency pair, stock, cryptocurrency, or other financial instruments. The dashboard helps you identify the strongest and weakest assets by analyzing their interactions with critical liquidity levels and identifying divergences , including those related to the Previous Month, Previous Week, Previous Day, and Asian Session Highs and Lows. By doing so, he identifies the most bullish symbol. It will therefore tend to rise more easily, or at least fall less, than the other one.
The SMT includes alert functionality that notifies you whenever a new SMT is created or has changed , allowing you to stay informed about which asset is currently the strongest. This means you can react promptly to market changes without constantly monitoring your charts.
Additionally, since the SMT relies on the Previous levels, it is influenced by the selected mode, whether based on traditional Previous levels or the True Day Range . This flexibility ensures that you are using the most relevant information available for your trading decisions. Asian High and Asian Low levels are also calculated according to the schedules configured in the Kill Zones section.
In summary, the Smart Money Tool displays the strongest and weakest assets based on liquidity uptake, providing you with clear information on which asset to prioritize, so you can maximize your potential profits. By incorporating this concept into your approach, you align your decisions with prevailing market dynamics, offering you unparalleled insights and features tailored to enhance your trading strategy.
This chart displays the Smart Money Tool (SMT) dashboard on the GBPUSD symbol, which compares the liquidity uptake for EURUSD and GBPUSD pairs. The indicator shows that both Previous Month's and Week's High and Low were taken for both pairs. However, the Asian High (AH) has been breached on GBPUSD but not on EURUSD, while the Asian Low (AL) has been taken by EURUSD. As a result, GBPUSD is identified as the stronger asset, indicating that traders should focus on buying opportunities with GBPUSD rather than EURUSD. This analysis helps traders prioritize the best symbol for their strategies based on the most relevant liquidity divergences.

Monest Value Indicator (MVI)
Description
The Monest Value Indicator (MVI) is a modern oscillator designed to address common issues in traditional oscillators like RSI or MACD. Unlike classical oscillators, the MVI dynamically adjusts to relative price movements and market volatility, providing a transparent and reliable valuation for short-term trading decisions.
This indicator normalizes price data around a consensus line and accounts for market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR). It highlights overbought and oversold conditions, offering a unique perspective for traders.
Key Features
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels : Highlights significant price extremes for better entry and exit signals. Volatility Normalization : Adapts to market conditions, ensuring consistent readings across various assets. Consensus-Based Valuation : Uses a moving average of the midrange price for baseline calculations. No Lag or Stickiness : Reacts promptly to price movements without getting stuck in extreme zones.
How It Works
Consensus Line :
Calculated as a 5-day moving average of the midrange:
Consensus = SMA((High + Low) / 2, 5) .
Offset OHLC Data :
All prices are adjusted relative to the consensus line:
Offset Price = Price - Consensus .
Volatility Normalization :
Adjusted prices are normalized using a 5-day ATR divided by 5:
Normalized Price = Offset Price / (ATR / 5) .
MVI Calculation :
The normalized closing price is plotted as the MVI.
Overbought/Oversold Levels :
Default levels are set at +8 (overbought) and -8 (oversold).
How to Use
Identifying Overbought/Oversold Conditions :
When the MVI crosses above +8 , the asset is overbought, signaling a potential reversal or pullback.
When the MVI drops below -8 , the asset is oversold, indicating a potential bounce or upward move.
Trend Confirmation :
Use the MVI to confirm trends by observing sustained movements above or below zero.
Combine with other trend indicators (e.g., Moving Averages) for robust analysis.
Alerts :
Set alerts for when the MVI crosses overbought or oversold levels to stay informed about potential trading opportunities.
Inputs
ATR Length : Default is 5. Adjust to modify the sensitivity of volatility normalization. Consensus Length : Default is 5. Change to tweak the baseline calculation.
Example
Overbought Signal : MVI exceeds +8 , indicating the asset may reverse from an overvalued position. Oversold Signal : MVI drops below -8 , suggesting the asset may recover from an undervalued state. Flat Market : MVI hovers near zero, indicating price consolidation.
