ICT Time Based Liquidity Levels [Mariinus]Indicator Overview – Inspired by ICT Concepts
This indicator helps you spot where liquidity rests and where major price moves are likely to begin or end — giving you clarity for both entries and exits.
Inspired by the teachings of the Inner Circle Trader (ICT), this tool builds on his philosophies and principles that have reshaped how traders view price action. One of the most powerful lessons that stuck with me personally is his quote:
"Time & Price, where it is Time first and then Price”
Another fundamental concept that underpins this tool is the idea that:
"Price is constantly moving in cycles from Premium to Equilibrium, from Equilibrium to Discount from Discount back to Premium."
With these core ideas in mind, this indicator was developed to help traders who are already using an ICT-based framework and focus on Kill Zones and by this on Time Based Liquidity.
In addition to plotting Session Highs and Lows on your chart, the ICT Time Based Liquidity Levels indicator also includes derived levels that provide deeper market insight. These include the Equilibrium of the full Session Range (High to Low) as well as the Equilibrium of the Wicks – offering a more nuanced view of price balance and potential turning points, in line with ICT’s core concepts.
To make sure your chart is not cluttered with lines, you can select which levels to show – and more importantly – you can plot Session Candles next to your Chart. Unlike standard time-based candles (e.g. 4H candles), these are “true” Session Candles that reflect the actual OHLC of trading Sessions, making it easier and clearer to see how Sessions interact with each other.
Next to Intraday Highs and Lows, the indicator will also plot Daily and Weekly Liquidity Pools above and below the Market, giving you insights to where Price is most likely heading towards.
You can set Alerts that trigger whenever one of these key levels is tagged, so you stay focused without staring at the screen all day.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
This is not a standalone trading plan.
This is not a buy or sell signal generator.
Instead, this tool is designed to support traders who follow ICT principles by helping them identify higher-probability PD Arrays – the key levels where setups are more likely to occur. If your trading plan includes looking for specific PD Arrays and structural frameworks taught by ICT, then this indicator is a visual aid to refine and focus your attention on the areas where your framework has a higher probability of playing out.
⚙️ Explanation of the Settings
You can combine up to 6 Sessions to monitor their respective levels while operating on a lower timeframe. You can define the timings and a long and short naming of those Sessions.
In the Days Section you can Set a lookback period to control how far back you want to calculate levels. Next to that you can select which Daily and or Weekly Levels you want to have shown on your Charts together with choosing their coloring, style and width.
In the Candles Section you can define how the Session Candles will look like which are plotted next to your Chart. When you have multiple Days of Session Candles it can come in handy to mirror image the Candles which will plot the Candles from right to left instead of the default left to right. In addition you can control how far the distance is between the Candles and your chart, the distance between Candles and Days and the thickness of those Candles. Next you can show or hide the Equilibrium of the total Session Range and the Equilibrium of the Wicks.
In the Lines Section you can specify which Session Levels you want to see on your Chart together with choosing their coloring, style and width.
In the Labels Section you can specify which Labels you want to show and how you want to show them.
In the Openings Section you can specify to show the Midnight Open and or Weekly Open. In addition you can add a divider to be able to distinguish between multiple Days or Weeks.
In the Alert Section you can specify for which Sessions you want to get notified when Key Levels are tagged. After setting this up, you need to set an alert via the Tradingview Alert function to really activate the Alert Function. Be aware that when you change your Alert setup, you need to setup the Tradingview Alert function again.

itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing

Crypto USD Liquidity Delta [tedtalksmacro]Calculates and plots the week-on-week (WoW), month-on-month (MoM), quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), and year-on-year (YoY) percentage changes in the aggregate stablecoin liquidity. By comparing the current liquidity with its historical values at different intervals, the script provides insights into the short-term and long-term liquidity fluctuations. Each of these percentage changes is plotted with distinct colors, enabling traders to analyze and comprehend the rate of liquidity change over various time frames.
Shamji's Liquidity Sweep + FVG (Follow-up + Filters) Purpose (what it does)
This indicator looks for two related price structures used by many smart-money / liquidity-hunt traders:
Liquidity Sweeps — candles that wick beyond a recent swing high (for buy-side stop-hunts) or swing low (for sell-side stop-hunts), then close back inside. These are flagged as potential stop-hunt events that clear obvious liquidity.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — simple 3-bar style gaps where an older bar’s high is below the current low (bullish FVG) or an older bar’s low is above the current high (bearish FVG). When an FVG appears after a sweep (within a configurable window), this is considered a follow-up alignment.
The script adds optional filters (volume spike and candle-range vs ATR) to increase confidence, and can restrict marking/alerts to only events that meet the follow-up and filter rules.
Candle volume analysis The indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Volume analysis can help traders build a clearer understanding of zones of buyer and seller interest, as well as places to capture liquidity (traders' stop levels).
Key Features:
The indicator highlights candle volumes in selected colors, where the volume is greater individually than the volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles. Or the volume that is greater than the sum of volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles.
Volumetric Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Volumetric Toolkit is a complete and comprehensive set of tools that display price action-related analysis methods from volume data.
A total of 4 features are included within the toolkit. Symbols that do not include volume data will not be supported by the script.
🔶 USAGE
The volumetric toolkit puts a heavy focus on price action, returning support/resistance levels, ranges, volume divergences...etc.
The main premise between each feature is that volume has a direct relationship with market participants level of interest over a specific symbol, and that this interest is not constant over time.
Each individual feature is detailed below.
🔹 Ranges Of Interest
The Ranges Of Interest construct a range from a surge of high liquidity in the market. This range is constructed from the price high and price low of the candle with the associated significant liquidity.
The returned extremities can be used as support and resistance, with breakouts often being accompanied by significant liquidity as well, suggesting potential trend continuations.
The length setting associated with this feature determines how sensitive the range detection algorithm is to volume, with higher values requiring more significant volume in order to display a new range.
🔹 Impulses
Impulses highlight times when volume makes a new higher high while the price makes a new higher high or lower low, suggesting increased market participation.
When this occurs when the price makes a new higher high the impulse is considered bullish (green), if the price makes a new lower low the impulse is bearish (red).
Impulses occurring within an established trend opposite to it (e.g a bearish impulse on an uptrend) might be indicative of reversals.
The length setting works similarly to the previously described ranges of interest, with higher values requiring longer-term volume higher high and price higher high/lower low, highlighting more significant impulse and potentially longer-term reversals.
🔹 Levels Of Interest
Levels of interest display price levels of significant trading activity, contrary to the range of interest only the closing price is taken into account, also volume peaks are used to detect significant trading activity.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
Users can determine the amount of most recent levels to display on the chart. These can be used as classical support/resistances.
🔹 Volume Divergence
We define volume divergence as a decreased market participation while a trend is still developing.
More precisely volume divergences are highlighted if volume makes a lower high while price is making a new higher high/lower low.
This can be indicative of a lack of further participation in the current trend, indicating a potential reversal.
Using higher length values will return longer-term divergences.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.

Smarter Money Concepts - OBs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - OBs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - OBs (Order Blocks) is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize institutional order zones on your charts. Order blocks represent significant areas of liquidity where smart money has entered positions before major moves. By tracking these zones, traders can anticipate potential reversals, continuations, and key reaction points in price action.
This indicator incorporates volume filtering technology to identify only the most significant order blocks, eliminating low-quality signals and focusing on areas where institutional participation is likely present. The combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability zones that may attract future price action for tests, rejections, or breakouts.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Volume-Filtered Block Detection : Identifies only order blocks formed with significant volume, focusing on areas with institutional participation
Advanced Break of Structure Logic : Uses sophisticated price action analysis to detect legitimate market structure breaks preceding order blocks
Dynamic Block Management : Intelligently tracks, extends, and removes order blocks based on price interaction and time-based expiration
Structure Recognition System : Employs technical analysis algorithms to find significant swing points for accurate order block identification
Dual Directional Tracking : Simultaneously monitors both bullish and bearish order blocks for comprehensive market structure analysis
🔧 Core Components
Order Block Detection : Identifies institutional entry zones by analyzing price action before significant breaks of structure, capturing where smart money has likely positioned before moves.
Volume Filtering Algorithm : Calculates relative volume compared to a moving average to qualify only order blocks formed with significant market participation, eliminating noise.
Structure Break Recognition : Uses price action analysis to detect legitimate breaks of market structure, ensuring order blocks are identified only at significant market turning points.
Dynamic Block Management : Continuously monitors price interaction with existing blocks, extending, maintaining, or removing them based on current market behavior.
🔥 Key Features
Volume-Based Filtering : Filter out insignificant blocks by requiring a minimum volume threshold, focusing only on zones with likely institutional activity
Visual Block Highlighting : Color-coded boxes clearly mark bullish and bearish order blocks with customizable appearance
Flexible Mitigation Options : Choose between “Wick” or “Close” methods for determining when a block has been tested or mitigated
Scan Range Adjustment : Customize how far back the indicator looks for structure points to adapt to different market conditions and timeframes

Finding optimal stop-loss placement behind significant order blocks
Detecting potential reversal areas where price may react after extended moves
Confirming breakout trades when price clears major order blocks
Building a comprehensive market structure map for medium to long-term trading decisions
Pinpointing areas where smart money may have positioned before major market moves
⚠️ Limitations
Most effective on higher timeframes (1H and above) where institutional activity is more clearly defined
Can generate multiple signals in choppy market conditions, requiring additional filtering
Volume filtering relies on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some securities
Recent market structure changes may invalidate older order blocks not yet automatically removed
Block identification is based on historical price action and may not predict future behavior with certainty
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic order block indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify only the most significant institutional zones, focusing on quality over quantity.
Structural Precision : Uses sophisticated break of structure algorithms to identify true market turning points, going beyond simple price pattern recognition.
Dynamic Block Management : Implements automatic block tracking, extension, and cleanup to maintain a clean and relevant chart display without manual intervention.
Institutional Focus : Designed specifically to highlight areas where smart money has likely positioned, helping retail traders align with institutional perspectives rather than retail noise.
🔬 How It Works
1. Structure Identification Process :
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify significant swing points and structure levels within the specified range, establishing a foundation for order block recognition.
2. Break Detection :
When price breaks an established structure level (crossing below a significant low for bearish breaks or above a significant high for bullish breaks), the indicator marks this as a potential zone for order block formation.
3. Volume Qualification :
For each potential order block, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only blocks formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed.
4. Block Creation and Management :
Valid order blocks are created, tracked, and managed as price continues to develop. Blocks extend to the right of the chart until they are either mitigated by price action or expire after the designated timeframe.
5. Continuous Monitoring :
The indicator constantly evaluates price interaction with existing blocks, determining when blocks have been tested, mitigated, or invalidated, and updates the visual representation accordingly.
💡 Note:
Order Blocks represent areas where institutional traders have likely established positions and may defend these zones during future price visits. For optimal results, use this indicator in conjunction with other confluent factors such as key support/resistance levels, trendlines, or additional confirmation indicators. The most reliable signals typically occur on higher timeframes where institutional activity is most prominent. Start with the default settings and adjust parameters gradually to match your specific trading instrument and style.
Volume based liquidity This indicator finds area where the price moves relatively mildly compared to the size of the volume, the target area. It also finds weak areas, that have low volume in a relatively large price movement. Larger and more recent target areas are much more useful in finding liquidity. the weak areas could be a tell for when price will reverse into a target area. Make sure a target area hasn't already had its liquidity swept.

Climax Absorption Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Have you ever noticed that during a sharp, fast-moving trend, the single candle with the highest volume often appears right at the end, just before the price reverses? This is no coincidence. It's the footprint of a Climax Event.
This indicator is designed to detect these critical moments of maximum panic (capitulation) and maximum euphoria (FOMO). These are the moments when retail traders are driven by emotion, creating a massive pool of liquidity. The "Climax Absorption Engine" identifies when Smart Money is likely absorbing this liquidity to enter large positions against the crowd, right before a potential reversal.
It's a tool built not just on mathematical formulas, but on the principles of market psychology and smart money activity.
How It Works: The 3-Step Logic
The indicator uses a sequential, three-step process to identify high-probability reversal setups:
1. Momentum Move Detection: First, the engine identifies a period of strong, directional momentum. It looks for a series of consecutive, same-colored candles and confirms that the move is backed by a steeply sloped moving average. This ensures we are only looking for climactic events at the end of a significant, non-random move.
2. Climax Candle Identification: Within this momentum move, the indicator scans for a candle with abnormally high volume—a volume spike that is significantly larger than the recent average. This candle is marked on your chart with a diamond shape and is identified as the Climax Candle. This is the point of peak emotion and the primary area of interest. No signal is generated yet.
3. Absorption & Reversal Confirmation: A climax is a warning, not a signal. The final signal is only triggered after the market confirms the reversal.
- For a BUY Signal: After a bearish (red) Climax Candle, the indicator waits for a subsequent green candle to close decisively above the midpoint of the Climax Candle. This confirms that the panic selling has been absorbed by buyers.
- For a SELL Signal: After a bullish (green) Climax Candle, it waits for a subsequent red candle to close decisively below the midpoint. This confirms that the euphoric buying has evaporated.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
- The Diamond Shape: A diamond shape on your chart is an early warning. It signifies that a climax event has occurred and the underlying trend is exhausted. This is the time to pay close attention and prepare for a potential reversal.
- The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable signals. They appear only after the reversal has been confirmed by price action.
- A BUY signal suggests that capitulation selling is over, and buyers have absorbed the pressure.
- A SELL signal suggests that FOMO buying is over, and sellers are now in control.
Key Settings
- Momentum Detection: Adjust the number of consecutive bars and the EMA slope required to define a valid momentum move.
- Climax Detection: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the volume spike detection using the Volume Multiplier. Higher values will find only the most extreme events.
- Confirmation Window: Define how many bars the indicator should wait for a reversal candle after a climax event before the setup is cancelled.
smc bullrider 1.0The smc bullrider 1.0 indicator is specifically crafted for mapping market structures. It excels in clearly recognizing type of Points Of Interest (SCOB) offering traders a straightforward and effective method to analyze market movements. It helps identify strategic entry points with precision.
🟠 Exploring Structure Mapping.
🔹This indicator presents a distinctive method for examining the market structure, emphasizing liquidity through the concept of 'Inducement'. Inducement plays a pivotal role in pinpointing essential structural indicators in the market, including Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH).
🔹Consider Inducement as a strategically placed trap near supply or demand zones. It lures in eager buyers or sellers before the actual zone is reached, effectively creating liquidity. To validate an inducement, it must signify a legitimate pullback.
🔹A valid scenario arises when the price either sweeps or closes beyond the high or low of the preceding candle. In this context, the candle's color, whether bullish or bearish, holds no significance, and both situations are deemed valid. Inside bars are disregarded unless they meet this specific criterion. The indicator facilitates this process by automatically highlighting valid pullbacks with a distinctive gray round label.
🔹This feature serves not only as a visual guide but also as a vital tool for effortlessly comprehending market movements, offering a clear and visual representation of ongoing market trends
🟣 Understanding POI Functionality
🔹Single Candle Order Block (SCOB): Leveraging single-candle mitigation proves to be a powerful method for incorporating multiple entries into your successful trades.

Engulfing Sweeps - Milana TradesEngulfing Sweeps
The Engulfing Sweeps Candle is a candlestick pattern that:
1)Takes liquidity from the previous candle’s high or low.
2)Fully engulfs previous candles upon closing.
3)Indicates strong buying or selling pressure.
4)Helps determine the bias of the next candle.
Logic Behind Engulfing Sweeps
If you analyze this candle on a lower timeframe, you’ll often see popular models like PO3 (Power of Three) or AMD (Accumulation – Manipulation – Distribution).
Once the candle closes, the goal is to enter a position on the retracement of the distribution phase.
How to Use Engulfing Sweeps?
Recommended Timeframes:
4H, Daily, Weekly – these levels hold significant liquidity.
Personally, I prefer 4H, as it provides a solid view of mid-term market moves.
Step1 - Identify Engulfing Sweep Candle
Step 2-Switch to a lower timeframe (15m or 5m).And you task identify optimal trade entry
Look for an entry pattern based on:
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
OB (Order Block)
FIB levels (0/0.25/0.5/ 0.75/ 1)
Wait for confirmation and take the trade.
Automating with TradingView Alerts
To avoid missing the pattern, you can set up alerts using a custom script. Once the pattern forms, TradingView will notify you so you can analyze the chart and take action. This approch helps me be more freedom
Double Purge Theory (DPT)The purpose of this script is to identify the Double Purge Theory-MMXM i.e. the run on liquidity on both the sell-side and the buy-side liquidity.
The simple use case behind this script is to provide additional entry confluence for your trade setups and more efficient stop loss placement on any given timeframe.
DPT in itself is a price signature that generally occurs before price makes impulsive move in the direction of the higher time frame narrative. It is not to be used as a standalone indicator for building narrative/framing bias.
How to use this script ?
1) Wait for the indicator to display the BLUE CANDLE highlight (DPT candle) that indicates the double purge has occurred.
2) The DPT should occur at/after price has tapped into a key level and is within the ICT killzones.
3) Position to frame your trade setup once you get a candle with a body close below / above the DPT candle , depending on your bias and stop loss placement at DPT candle high/low or after the body closure as mentioned in step 2.
For example :
BGL - Bitcoin Global Liquidity Indicator [Da_Prof]This indicator takes global liquidity and shifts it forward by a set number of days. It can be used for any asset, but it is by default set for Bitcoin (BTC). The shift forward allows potential future prediction of BTC trends, especially uptrends. While not perfect, the current shift of 72 days seems to be best for the current cycle.
Sixteen currencies are used to calculate global liquidity.
Expected Move by Option's Implied Volatility High Liquidity
This script plots boxes to reflect weekly, monthly and yearly expected moves based on "At The Money" put and call option's implied volatility.
Symbols in range: This script will display Expected Move data for Symbols with high option liquidity.
Weekly Updates: Each weekend, the script is updated with fresh expected move data, a job that takes place every Saturday following the close of the markets on Friday.
In the provided script, several boxes are created and plotted on a price chart to represent the expected price moves for various timeframes.
These boxes serve as visual indicators to help traders and analysts understand the expected price volatility.
Definition of Expected Move: Expected Move refers to the anticipated range within which the price of an underlying asset is expected to move over a specific time frame, based on the current implied volatility of its options. Calculation: Expected Move is typically calculated by taking the current stock price and applying a multiple of the implied volatility. The most commonly used multiple is the one-standard-deviation move, which encompasses approximately 68% of potential price outcomes.
Example: Suppose a stock is trading at $100, and the implied volatility of its options is 20%. The one-standard-deviation expected move would be $100 * 0.20 = $20.
This suggests that there is a 68% probability that the stock's price will stay within a range of $80 to $120 over the specified time frame. Usage: Traders and investors use the expected move as a guideline for setting trading strategies and managing risk. It helps them gauge the potential price swings and make informed decisions about buying or selling options.There is a 68% chance that the underlying asset stock or ETF price will be within the boxed area at option expiry. The data on this script is updating weekly at the close of Friday, calculating the implied volatility for the week/month/year based on the "at the money" put and call options with the relevant expiry. This script will display Expected Move data for Symbols within the range of JBL-NOTE in alphabetical order.
In summary, implied volatility reflects market expectations about future price volatility, especially in the context of options. Expected Move is a practical application of implied volatility, helping traders estimate the likely price range for an asset over a given period. Both concepts play a vital role in assessing risk and devising trading strategies in the options and stock markets.

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table)Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) Indicator: Functionality and Uses
Overview: The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator is a technical analysis tool that highlights key volume-based support and resistance levels across multiple timeframes. It leverages volume profile concepts – specifically the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) – to identify “liquidity zones” where trading activity was heaviest . Unlike a standard single-timeframe volume profile, this indicator compiles data from several timeframes (e.g. monthly, weekly, daily, intraday) and displays the results in a convenient table format on the chart. The goal is to give traders a consolidated view of important price levels (derived from volume concentrations) across different horizons, helping them plan trades with a broader market perspective.
Purpose and Functionality of the Indicator
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The primary objective of this indicator is to simplify multi-timeframe analysis of volume distribution. Rather than manually checking volume profiles on separate charts for each timeframe, the tool automatically calculates the key levels for each selected timeframe and presents them together. This includes higher-level perspectives (like monthly or weekly volume hotspots) alongside shorter-term levels (daily or hourly), ensuring that traders don’t miss significant zones from any timeframe . By offering a broader perspective on support and resistance levels, multi-timeframe tools help improve risk management and signal confirmation , and this indicator is designed to provide that volume-based perspective at a glance.
Table Format Display: Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) specifically presents the information as a table (as opposed to plotting lines on the chart). Each row in the table typically corresponds to a timeframe (for example, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, 1H, 30M, 15M), and the columns list the calculated POC, VAH, VAL, and possibly the average volume for that timeframe’s look-back period. By structuring the data in a table, traders can quickly read off the exact price levels of these liquidity zones without having to visually trace lines. This format makes it easy to compare levels across timeframes or note where multiple timeframes’ levels cluster near the same price – a sign of especially strong support/resistance. The indicator uses a user-defined number of bars or length of history for each timeframe to calculate these values (so you can adjust how far back it looks to define the volume profile for each period).
Objective: In summary, the functionality is geared toward identifying high-liquidity price zones across multiple time scales and presenting them clearly. These high-liquidity zones often coincide with areas where price reacts (stalls, reverses, or accelerates) because a lot of trading activity (hence, orders and volume) took place there in the past. The indicator’s objective is to alert the trader to those areas in advance. It effectively answers questions like: “Where are the major volume concentration levels on the 1-hour, daily, and weekly charts right now?” and “Are there overlapping volume-based support/resistance levels from different timeframes around the current price?” By compiling this information, the indicator helps traders incorporate context from multiple timeframes in their decision-making, without needing to flip through numerous charts.
Identifying Liquidity Zones with POC, VAH, and VAL
Liquidity Zones Defined: In market terms, a “liquidity zone” is an area of the chart where a significant amount of trading occurred, meaning high liquidity (many buyers and sellers exchanged volume there). These zones often act as support or resistance because past heavy trading indicates consensus or interest around those price levels. This indicator identifies liquidity zones through volume profile analysis on each timeframe’s recent price action. Essentially, it looks at the distribution of trading volume at different prices over the specified period and finds the value area – the range of prices that encompassed the majority of that volume (commonly around 70% of the total volume ). Within that value area, it pinpoints the Point of Control (POC), which is the single price level that had the highest traded volume (the peak of the volume profile) . The upper and lower boundaries of that high-volume range are marked as Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) respectively . Together, the VAH and VAL define the liquidity zone where the market spent most of its time and volume, and POC highlights the most traded price in that zone.
• Point of Control (POC): The POC is the price level with the greatest volume traded for the given period. It represents the price at which the most liquidity was exchanged – effectively the market’s “center of gravity” for that timeframe’s trading activity . The indicator calculates the POC for each selected timeframe by scanning the volume at each price; the price with maximum volume is flagged as that timeframe’s POC. In the table, the POC might be highlighted or listed as a key level (sometimes traders color-code it or mark it for emphasis). Because so many positions were opened or closed at the POC, it often serves as a strong support/resistance. For example, if price falls to a major POC from above, traders expect buyers may step in there (since it was a popular buy/sell level historically), potentially causing a bounce. Conversely, if price breaks through a POC decisively, it may signal a significant shift in market acceptance.
• Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL): The VAH and VAL are the price boundaries of the value area, which is typically defined to contain about 70% of the total traded volume for the period . In other words, between VAH and VAL is where the “bulk” of trading occurred, and outside this range is where relatively less volume traded. The indicator derives VAH/VAL by accumulating volume from the highest-volume price (POC) outward until ~70% of volume is covered (this is a common method for volume profile value area). VAH is the top of this high-volume region and VAL is the bottom. These levels are important because they often act like support/resistance boundaries: when price is inside the value area, it’s in a high-liquidity zone and tends to oscillate between VAH and VAL; when price moves above VAH or below VAL, it’s leaving the high-volume zone, which can indicate a potential trend or imbalance (price entering a lower-liquidity area where it might move faster until finding the next liquidity zone). Traders watch VAH/VAL for signs of rejection or acceptance: for instance, a price rally that falters at VAH suggests that level is acting as resistance (sellers defending that high-volume area), whereas if price pushes above VAH, it may continue until the next timeframe’s zone or until it finds new interest. The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 indicator gives the VAH and VAL for each timeframe, essentially mapping out the upper and lower bounds of key liquidity zones at those scales.
How the Indicator Identifies These: Under the hood, the indicator likely uses historical price and volume data for each timeframe’s lookback window. For each timeframe (say the last 20 weekly bars for a weekly profile, last 100 daily bars for a daily profile, etc.), it constructs a volume profile (a histogram of volume at each price). From that distribution, it finds the POC (highest volume bin) and calculates VAH/VAL around it. The output is a set of numbers (price levels) that mark where those zones lie. In practice, if using the Lines version of this indicator, those levels are drawn as horizontal lines on the chart and labeled by timeframe (e.g., a line at 1.2345 labeled “D POC” for Daily POC) . In the Table version, those values are instead listed in text form. Either way, the identification process is the same – it’s finding the high-volume price regions on each timeframe and calling them out. By doing this for multiple timeframes concurrently, the indicator reveals how these liquidity zones from different periods relate to each other. For example, you might discover that a daily-chart value area overlaps with a weekly-chart POC, creating a particularly strong zone of interest. This kind of insight is hard to get from a single timeframe analysis alone.
Volume Profile Data Across Multiple Timeframes
Multiple Timeframes in One View: One of the biggest advantages of this indicator is the ability to see volume profile information from various timeframes side by side. Traders often perform multiple timeframe analysis to get a fuller picture — for instance, checking monthly or weekly levels for long-term context while planning a trade on a 4-hour chart. This indicator automates that process for volume-based levels. The table will typically list each chosen timeframe (which could be preset or user-selected). For each timeframe, you get the POC, VAH, VAL, and possibly an average volume metric. The “average volume” likely refers to the average volume per bar or the average volume traded over the profile’s duration for that timeframe, which gives a sense of how significant that period’s activity is. For example, a weekly profile might show an average volume of say 500k per week, versus a daily profile average of 80k per day – indicating the scale of trading on weekly vs daily. High average volume on a timeframe means its liquidity zones were formed with a lot of participation, possibly making them more reliable support/resistance. By comparing these, traders can gauge which timeframes had unusually high or low activity recently. The table format makes such comparisons straightforward.
Identification of Confluence: Because all the data is presented together, traders can quickly spot confluence or overlaps between timeframes. If two different timeframes show liquidity zones at similar price levels, that price becomes extremely noteworthy. For instance, suppose the indicator shows: a 1-hour POC at 1.1300, a 4-hour VAL at 1.1280, and a daily VAL at 1.1290. These are all in a tight range – effectively indicating a multi-timeframe liquidity zone around 1.1280–1.1300. A trader seeing this cluster in the table will recognize that as a strong support area, since multiple profiles from intraday to daily all suggest heavy trading interest there. Similarly, overlaps of VAH (resistance zone) from different timeframes could signal a strong ceiling. The multi-timeframe view prevents a trader from, say, going long into a major weekly POC above, or shorting when there’s a huge monthly value-area low just below – situations where awareness of higher timeframe volume structure can make the difference between a good and bad trade.
User Customization: The indicator is flexible in that you can typically adjust which timeframes to include and how many bars to use for each timeframe’s calculation. For example, one might configure it to calculate monthly levels using the past 12 monthly bars (1 year of data), weekly levels using the past 20 weeks, daily using 100 days, etc., depending on preference. By tuning the “bars count” or period length , the trader can focus on recent liquidity zones or incorporate more history if desired. Shorter lookback might catch more recent shifts in volume distribution (important if the market structure changed recently), while longer lookback gives more established levels. This customization ensures the indicator’s output can be tailored to different trading styles (short-term vs swing vs long-term investing). Regardless of settings, the multi-timeframe table allows simultaneous visibility of the chosen timeframes’ volume landscape. This comprehensive view is the core strength: it consolidates data that normally requires flipping through multiple charts.
Using the Liquidity Zones Data for Trading Decisions
Traders can use the information from the MTF Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator in several practical ways to enhance their decision-making:
• Identify Support and Resistance: Each liquidity zone acts as a potential support or resistance area. For example, if the table shows a daily VAH at a certain level above the current price, that level might serve as resistance if the price rallies up to it (since it marks the top of a high-volume region where sellers might step in). Conversely, a weekly VAL below current price could act as support on a dip. By noting these levels in the table, a trader planning an entry or exit can anticipate where the price might stall or reverse. Essentially, you get a map of high-interest price levels from different timeframes, which you can mark on your trading chart for guidance.
• Plan Entries and Exits Around Key Levels: Many traders incorporate volume profile levels into their strategies, for instance: buying near VAL (betting that the value area will hold and price will revert upward), or selling/shorting near VAH (expecting the top of value to hold as resistance), or trading breakouts when price moves outside the value area. With the multi-timeframe table, one can refine these tactics by also considering higher timeframe levels. Suppose you see that on the 1-hour chart the price is just above its 1H POC, but the table indicates that just slightly above, there’s also the daily POC. You might delay a long entry until price clears that daily POC, because that could be a stronger intraday barrier. Or if you intend to take profit on a long trade, you might choose a target just below a weekly VAH since price may struggle to climb past that on the first attempt. The indicator thus acts as a guide for precision in entry/exit decisions, aligning them with where liquidity is high.
• Gauge Trend Strength and Directional Bias: By observing where current price is relative to these volume zones, traders can infer certain market conditions. For instance, if price is trading above the VAH of multiple timeframes’ value areas, it suggests the market is in a more bullish or overextended territory (price accepted above prior value), whereas if price is below multiple VALs, it’s in bearish or undervalued territory relative to recent history. If the price stays around a POC, it indicates consolidation or equilibrium (market comfortable at that price). Traders can use this context for bias – e.g., if price is above the weekly VAH, you might lean bullish but watch for potential pullbacks to that VAH level (now a support). If price is below the monthly VAL, you might avoid longs until it re-enters that value area. In essence, the liquidity zones provide context of value vs. price: is price trading within the high-volume areas (implying range-bound behavior) or outside them (implying a breakout or trending move)? This can prevent chasing trades at poor locations.
• Combine with Other Indicators/Analysis: It’s generally advised to not use any single indicator in isolation, and this holds true here. The liquidity zones from this indicator are best used alongside price action or other technical signals for confirmation . For example, if a bullish candlestick reversal pattern forms right at a confluence of a 4H VAL and Daily POC, that’s a stronger buy signal than the pattern alone. Or if an oscillator shows overbought exactly as price hits a weekly VAH, it adds conviction to a possible short. The indicator’s table basically gives you a shortlist of critical price levels; you can then watch how price behaves at those levels (via candlesticks, order flow, etc.) to make the final trade decision. Traders might set alerts for when price approaches one of the listed levels, or they might drop down to a lower timeframe to fine-tune an entry once a key zone is reached. By integrating this volume-based insight with trend analysis, chart patterns, or momentum indicators, one can make more informed and high-probability decisions rather than trading in the dark.
• Risk Management and Stop Placement: High-liquidity zones can also inform stop-loss placement. Ideally, you want your stop on the other side of a strong support/resistance. If you go long near a VAL, you might place your stop just below the VAL (since a move beyond that suggests the high-volume zone didn’t hold). If you short near a VAH, a stop just above the VAH or POC could be logical. Moreover, if multiple timeframes show overlapping zones, a stop beyond all of them could be even safer (albeit at the cost of a wider stop). The indicator helps identify those spots. It also warns you of where not to put a stop – for example, placing a stop-loss right at a POC might be unwise because price could gravitate to that POC repeatedly (due to its magnetic effect as a high-volume price). Instead, a trader might choose a stop beyond the far side of the value area. By using the table’s information, you can align your risk management with areas of high liquidity, reducing the chance of being whipsawed by normal volatility around heavily traded levels .
Benefits of the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones Indicator
Using the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator offers several key benefits for traders, ultimately aiming to streamline analysis and improve decision quality:
• Consolidated Key Levels: It provides a clear, consolidated view of crucial volume-driven levels from multiple timeframes all at once . This saves time and ensures you always account for major support/resistance zones that come from higher or lower timeframe volume clusters. You won’t accidentally overlook a significant weekly level while focused on a 15-minute chart, for example.
• Enhanced Multi-Timeframe Insight: By aligning information from long-term and short-term periods, the indicator helps traders see the “bigger picture” while still operating on their preferred timeframe. This multi-scale awareness can improve trade timing and confidence. You’re effectively doing multi-timeframe analysis with volume profiles in an efficient manner, which can confirm or caution your trade ideas (e.g., a trend looks strong on the 1H, but the table shows a huge monthly VAH just overhead – a reason to be cautious or take profit early).
• Improved Decision Making and Precision: Knowing where liquidity zones lie allows for more precise entries, exits, and stop placements. Traders can make informed decisions such as waiting for a pullback to a value area before entering, or taking profits before price hits a major POC from a higher timeframe. These decisions are grounded in objectively important price levels, potentially leading to higher probability trades and better risk-reward setups. It essentially enhances your strategy by adding a layer of volume context – you’re trading with an awareness of where the market’s interest is heaviest.
• Volume-Based Confirmation: Price alone can sometimes be deceptive, but volume tells the true story of participation. The liquidity zones indicator provides volume-based confirmation of support/resistance. If a price level is identified by this tool, it’s because significant volume happened there – adding weight to that level’s importance. This can help filter out false support/resistance levels that aren’t backed by volume. In other words, it highlights high-quality levels that many traders (and possibly institutions) have shown interest in.
• Adaptable to Different Trading Styles: Whether one is a scalper looking at intraday (15M, 5M charts) or a swing trader focusing on daily/weekly, the indicator can be configured to those needs. You choose which timeframes and how much data to consider. This means the concept of liquidity zones can be applied universally – from spotting intraday pivot levels with volume, to seeing long-term value zones on an investment. The consistent methodology of POC/VAH/VAL across scales provides a common framework to analyze any market and timeframe.
• Informed Risk Management: As discussed, the knowledge of multi-timeframe volume zones aids in risk management. By placing stops beyond major liquidity areas or avoiding trades that run into strong volume walls, traders can reduce the likelihood of whipsaw losses. It’s an extra layer of defense to ensure your trade plan accounts for where the market has historically found lots of interest (hence likely friction). This level of informed planning can be the difference between a well-managed trade and an avoidable loss.
In conclusion, the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator serves as a powerful analytical aid, giving traders a structured view of where price is likely to encounter support or resistance based on volume concentrations across timeframes. Its functionality centers on identifying those liquidity zones (via POC, VAH, VAL) and presenting them in an easy-to-read format, while its ultimate purpose is to help traders make more informed decisions. By integrating this tool into their workflow, traders can more confidently navigate price action, knowing the objective volume-based landmarks that lie ahead. Remember that while these volume levels often coincide with strong S/R zones, it’s best to use them in conjunction with other technical or fundamental analysis for confirmation . When used appropriately, the indicator can streamline multi-timeframe analysis and enhance your overall trading strategy , giving you an edge in identifying where the market’s liquidity (and opportunity) resides.
TILT - Timed Index of Liquidity TrendsThe Timed Index of Liquidity Trends (TILT) is a tracking tool for high-market cap, high-volatility assets like Bitcoin (BTCUSD), the S&P 500 (SPY), the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and Gold. Liquidity drives markets; understanding when liquidity is expanding or contracting can help traders anticipate major market swings with greater confidence.
TILT’s M2 Calculation
TILT is based on a global M2 money supply proxy, which aggregates liquidity conditions from major economies. Since TradingView does not provide direct M2 data for all regions, the indicator uses market-based proxies instead:
🇺🇸 United States – S&P 500 Index (SPX)
🇨🇦 Canada – TSX Composite Index (TSX)
🇪🇺 Eurozone – EUR/USD Exchange Rate (EURUSD)
🇬🇧 United Kingdom – GBP/USD Exchange Rate (GBPUSD)
🇷🇺 Russia – Moscow Exchange Index (MOEX)
🇨🇳 China – China 50 Index (CN50USD)
🇯🇵 Japan – Nikkei 225 Index (JPN225)
🇦🇺 Australia – Gold (XAUUSD) as a liquidity proxy
🇮🇳 India – Nifty 50 Index (NIFTY)
🇰🇷 South Korea – KOSPI Index (KOSPI)
🇧🇷 Brazil – Bovespa Index (IBOV)
🇿🇦 South Africa – USD/ZAR Exchange Rate (USDZAR)
By summing these liquidity proxies, TILT provides a comprehensive view of global M2 conditions, allowing traders to see when money supply is expanding (bullish liquidity conditions) or contracting (bearish liquidity conditions).
How to Use TILT for Trading High-Volatility Assets
TILT is not a traditional price indicator. It is a macro tool designed to show whether liquidity is flowing into or out of the financial system. Assets like Bitcoin, QQQ, and Gold tend to perform well when liquidity is expanding and decline when liquidity is contracting.
₿ Bitcoin (BTCUSD) – The Ultimate Liquidity Sponge
Bitcoin thrives on excess liquidity because it is still a speculative asset with no central authority.
· Liquidity Expanding → BTC tends to rise, as speculative capital flows in.
· Liquidity Contracting → BTC struggles or enters a bear market as leverage dries up.
Example Use Case: If TILT turns green (expanding liquidity) and BTC is near a technical support zone, it may indicate a buying opportunity before the next rally.
📊 S&P 500 (SPY) & Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) – Growth & Risk Appetite
These indices are heavily influenced by liquidity conditions because they represent growth stocks and corporate credit access.
· SPY (🇺🇸) → Moves based on global liquidity, particularly Fed policy & M2 expansion.
· QQQ (🇺🇸) → Even more sensitive than SPY due to high exposure to tech stocks.
Example Use Case: If TILT shows liquidity expansion, QQQ often leads SPY higher, providing early signals for market-wide risk-on behavior.
🥇 Gold – Liquidity & Inflation Hedge
Gold is a monetary asset, meaning it benefits from liquidity expansion and inflation fears.
· Liquidity Expanding → Gold can rally as real yields decline.
· Liquidity Contracting → Gold struggles, especially if real yields rise.
Example Use Case: If TILT turns red (liquidity contracting) and bond yields are rising, gold could enter a bearish phase.
⏱️ Timing Market Swings with the Offset Function
The offset function in TILT allows traders to shift liquidity data forward or backward in time to find the best correlation with price action. However, the offset is not fixed and should be re-evaluated periodically to ensure it remains optimized as a leading indicator. Liquidity cycles and market conditions change over time, meaning an offset that worked well in one period may need adjustment in another.
🤔 Why Use an Offset?
Liquidity moves markets with a lag – The effect of M2 expansion/contraction takes time to show up in risk assets.
Finding the right lag helps confirm liquidity-driven price moves – This is crucial for Bitcoin, QQQ, and Gold, which react differently to liquidity shifts.
Since liquidity conditions evolve, the offset should be adjusted from time to time to maintain predictive accuracy.
👋 How to Fit the Offset Using Vertical Reference Lines
The best way to optimize the offset is by testing historical liquidity cycles and using vertical reference lines (and/or the Date Range tool) to align liquidity trends with major price swings.
Step 1: Plot TILT and the asset you’re analyzing (e.g., BTCUSD) on the same chart.
Step 2: Add vertical lines on significant price reversals (major tops & bottoms).
Step 3: Adjust TILT’s offset forward or backward to see if liquidity trends lead or lag those reversals.
Step 4: Periodically revisit the offset setting to ensure it still aligns well with current market conditions.
Example: If BTC topped 10 bars after TILT turned red, you might set the offset to +10 to better align liquidity changes with price action. If, over time, BTC begins reacting faster or slower to liquidity shifts, the offset should be updated accordingly.
💡 Advanced Tips for TILT Users
· Combine TILT With Sentiment Indicators Like the Fear & Greed Index
· Low Fear & Expanding Liquidity → Strong buy signal for BTC & risk assets
· High Greed & Contracting Liquidity → Caution: Market topping signal
· Use With Volume & On-Chain Metrics for BTC
· Rising TILT + Increasing BTC Volume → Confirms strong accumulation
· TILT Falling + Weak BTC Volume → Potential distribution & market risk
· Watch for Divergences
If BTC makes a new high but TILT is falling, it could indicate a liquidity-driven market top.
If BTC makes a new low but TILT is rising, it could indicate a bottom forming.
Conclusion: TILT = The Macro Liquidity Key for Volatile Assets
TILT is an effective tool for timing market swings in Bitcoin, QQQ, SPY, and Gold, as these assets are highly sensitive to liquidity cycles.
· Tracks global M2 trends using liquidity proxies from major economies
· Helps confirm major tops & bottoms in risk assets
· Offset function allows precise timing of liquidity-driven market moves
· Offset should be reviewed periodically to maintain optimal accuracy
· Pairs well with sentiment tools like the Fear & Greed Index for crypto
By using TILT correctly, traders can anticipate major market turns and position ahead of liquidity-driven moves.
HTF LiquidityThe ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is designed to track liquidity zones in the market areas where stop-losses and pending orders are typically clustered. This indicator marks buyside liquidity (resistance) and sellside liquidity (support) from HTF (H4, H1 and M15), helping traders identify areas where price is likely to manipulate liquidity before making a significant move.
This tool is based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Smart Money Concepts, which emphasize how institutional traders, or “Smart Money,” manipulate liquidity to fuel price movements. By identifying these zones, traders can anticipate liquidity sweeps and position themselves accordingly.
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Detects Key Liquidity Zones
The script automatically identifies significant swing highs and swing lows in price action using a pivot-based method.
A swing high (buyside liquidity) is a peak where price struggles to break higher, forming a resistance level.
A swing low (sellside liquidity) is a valley where price struggles to go lower, creating a support level.
These liquidity points are prime targets for liquidity sweeps before a true trend direction is confirmed.
2️⃣ Draws Liquidity Lines
Once a swing high or low is identified, a horizontal line is drawn at that level.
The lines extend to the right, serving as future liquidity targets until they are broken.
The indicator allows customization in terms of color, line width, and maximum number of liquidity lines displayed at once.
3️⃣ Handles Liquidity Sweeps
When price breaks a liquidity level, the indicator reacts based on the chosen action setting:
Dotted/Dashed: The line remains visible but changes style to indicate a sweep.
Delete: The line is completely removed once price has interacted with it.
This feature ensures that traders can easily spot where liquidity has been taken and determine whether a reversal or continuation is likely.
4️⃣ Prevents Chart Clutter
To maintain a clean chart, the script limits the number of liquidity lines displayed at any given time.
When new liquidity zones are formed, the oldest lines are automatically removed, keeping the focus on the most relevant liquidity zones.
AR-LiquidityAR-Liquidity is a clean, “chart-first” liquidity mapping tool built to automatically identify and maintain Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) levels, classify them as IRL / ERL using a dealing range filter, and mark sweeps/raids with an optional raid zone box—while keeping drawings stable using a fixed object bank (no random disappearing lines).
________________________________________
What it detects
1) BSL & SSL (Liquidity Pools)
• BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity): swing highs clustered into meaningful levels (areas where stops tend to rest above price).
• SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity): swing lows clustered into meaningful levels (areas where stops tend to rest below price).
Instead of plotting every single pivot, the script clusters nearby pivots using an ATR-based margin so you get clean, actionable liquidity levels, not noise.
2) IRL / ERL (Dealing Range Context)
Each liquidity level is labeled as:
• IRL (Internal Range Liquidity): inside the dealing range
• ERL (External Range Liquidity): outside the dealing range
By default, the dealing range uses:
• PDH / PDL (Previous Day High / Previous Day Low) as the IRL boundaries.
This helps you instantly understand whether a level is “internal” (often targeted during consolidation/mean reversion) or “external” (often targeted during expansion/displacement).
3) Sweeps / Raids (Liquidity Taken)
A sweep is flagged when price:
• Wicks through a confirmed level
• Then closes back inside (classic raid behavior)
The script marks swept levels with a ✓ check mark in the label.
Optionally, it can draw a raid zone box showing the wick-extreme to the level.
________________________________________
How it draws (stable & clean)
This indicator uses banked objects for lines/labels/boxes. That means:
• No flickering
• No unstable rendering
• No “objects disappearing” when new levels are created
Lines will extend to the right, and can be configured to stop when invalidated (depending on your build/settings).
________________________________________
Inputs (what each one actually means)
Detection
• Swing length (pivot L=R): controls pivot sensitivity (higher = fewer, stronger swings).
• ATR length: ATR basis for clustering margin.
• Cluster margin × ATR: how close pivots must be to merge into one liquidity level.
• Min touches to confirm: how many pivot touches are required before a level is considered valid.
• Max clusters to scan (perf): performance cap for how many stored levels the script checks.
Show / Filters
• Mode (Present/Historical):
o Present focuses on most relevant/active levels.
o Historical can show deeper history depending on your scan/visibility limits.
• Max visible levels per side: maximum number of BSL lines + SSL lines drawn at once.
• Extend levels right: keeps levels projected forward.
• Only above / only below: filter BSL above price and SSL below price (cleaner “current context” view).
• Hide swept levels: removes already-raided levels from view (if you want only “untouched” liquidity).
IRL / ERL (Dealing Range)
• Use PDH/PDL as dealing range: defines IRL boundaries using previous day high/low.
• Show PDH/PDL lines: plots those boundaries as dotted reference lines.
Sweeps / Raid Zones
• Mark sweeps: enables raid detection + check mark labeling.
• Show raid zone box: displays a box from level to wick extreme.
• Raid box extend (bars): how far the box projects to the right.
Style
Full control over:
• IRL vs ERL colors for BSL/SSL
• Line width
• Label size
• Raid box colors
________________________________________
How to use it (practical)
• Use BSL above price as likely upside draw / where liquidity may be taken.
• Use SSL below price as likely downside draw / where liquidity may be taken.
