ICT Power Of Three | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW Introducing our new ICT Power Of Three Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Power Of Three" strategy. This strategy makes use of these 3 key smart money concepts : Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution. Each step is explained in detail within this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section. Features of the new ICT Power Of Three Indicator : Implementation of ICT's Power Of Three Strategy Different Algorithm Modes Customizable Execution Settings Customizable Backtesting Dashboard Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals 📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ? The "Power Of Three" comes from these three keywords "Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution". Here is a brief explanation of each keyword : Accumulation -> Accumulation phase is when the smart money accumulate their positions in a fixed range. This phase indicates price stability, generally meaning that the price constantly switches between up & down trend between a low and a high pivot point. When the indicator detects an accumulation zone, the Power Of Three strategy begins. Manipulation -> When the smart money needs to increase their position sizes, they need retail traders' positions for liquidity. So, they manipulate the market into the opposite direction of their intended direction. This will result in retail traders opening positions the way that the smart money intended them to do, creating liquidity. After this step, the real move that the smart money intended begins. Distribution -> This is when the real intention of the smart money comes into action. With the new liquidity thanks to the manipulation phase, the smart money add their positions towards the opposite direction of the retail mindset. The purpose of this indicator is to detect the accumulation and manipulation phases, and help the trader move towards the same direction as the smart money for their trades. Detection Methods Of The Indicator : Accumulation -> The indicator detects accumulation zones as explained step-by-step : 1. Draw two lines from the lowest point and the highest point of the latest X bars. 2. If the (high line - low line) is lower than Average True Range (ATR) * accumulationConstant 3. After the condition is validated, an accumulation zone is detected. The accumulation zone will be invalidated and manipulation phase will begin when the range is broken. Manipulation -> If the accumulation range is broken, check if the current bar closes / wicks above the (high line + ATR * manipulationConstant) or below the (low line - ATR * manipulationConstant). If the condition is met, the indicator detects a manipulation zone. Distribution -> The purpose of this indicator is to try to foresee the distribution zone, so instead of a detection, after the manipulation zone is detected the indicator automatically create a "shadow" distribution zone towards the opposite direction of the freshly detected manipulation zone. This shadow distribution zone comes with a take-profit and stop-loss layout, customizable by the trader in the settings. The X bars, accumulationConstant and manipulationConstant are subject to change with the "Algorithm Mode" setting. Read the "Settings" section for more information. This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart. 🚩UNIQUENESS This indicator is an all-in-one suite for the ICT's Power Of Three concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers. ⚙️SETTINGS 1. General Configuration Algorithm Mode -> The indicator offers 3 different detection algorithm modes according to your needs. Here is the explanation of each mode. a) Small Manipulation This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a lower manipulation constant, meaning that slighter imbalances in the price action can be detected as manipulation. This setting can be useful on tickers that have lower liquidity, thus can be manipulated easier. b) Big Manipulation This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a higher manipulation constant, meaning that heavier imbalances on the price action are required in order to detect manipulation zones. This setting can be useful on tickers that have higher liquidity, thus can be manipulated harder. c) Short Accumulation This mode has a ~70% lower bar length requirement for accumulation zone detection, and the default manipulation constant. This setting can be useful on tickers that are highly volatile and do not enter accumulation phases too often. Breakout Method -> If "Close" is selected, bar close price will be taken into calculation when Accumulation & Manipulation zone invalidation. If "Wick" is selected, a wick will be enough to validate the corresponding zone. 2. TP / SL TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm. Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted. 3. Visuals Show Zones -> Enables / Disables rendering of Accumulation (yellow) and Manipulation (red) zones.

Global Net Liquidity (TG fork)Worldwide net liquidity, with trend coloring. Global Net Liquidity attempts to represent worldwide net liquidity, and is defined as: Fed + Japan + China + UK + ECB - RRP - TGA , Where the first five components are central bank assets. On TradingView, the indicator can be reproduced with the following equations: Global Net Liquidity = FRED:WALCL + FRED:JPNASSETS * FX_IDC:JPYUSD + CNCBBS * FX_IDC:CNYUSD + GBCBBS * FX:GBPUSD + ECBASSETSW * FX:EURUSD + RRPONTSYD + WTREGEN However, this indicator adds a moving average cloud, and margin coloring, which eases historical trend assessment at a glance. This indicator can be seen as an alternative representation of the accumulation/distribution indicator (and hence the same terms can be used in this description). The Moving Average Cloud is simply the filling between the moving average (by default an EMA) and the current value. This feature was inspired by D7R ACC/DIST closed-source indicator, kudos to D7R for making such neat visual indicators. Usage instructions: Blue is more likely a phase of accumulation because the current value is above its historical price as defined by the moving average, red is when this is more likely a phase of distribution. Yellow is when the difference is below the margin, so we consider it is insignificant and that the trend is undecided. This can be disabled by setting the margin to 0. While the color indicates if it's more likely an accumulation (blue) or distribution (red) phase or undecided (yellow), the cloud's vertical size allows to assess the strength of this tendency and the horizontal size the momentum, so that the bigger the cloud, the stronger the accumulation (if cloud is blue) or distribution (if cloud is red). Why is that so? This is because the cloud represents the difference between the current tendency and the moving averaged past one, so a bigger cloud represents a bigger departure from recently observed tendencies. In practice, when there is accumulation, a pump in price can be expected soon, or if it already happened then it means it is indeed supported by volume, whereas if distribution, either a dump is to be expected soon, or if it already happened it means it's supported by volume. Or maybe not necessarily a dump, but if there is a move upward in price, but the indicator indicates a strong distribution, then it means that the price movement is not supported and may not be sustainable (reversal may happen at anytime), whereas if price is going upward AND there is an accumulation (blue coloring) then it is more sustainable. This can be used to adapt strategies accordingly (risk on/risk off depending on whether there is concordance of both price and accumulation/distribution). This indicator also includes sentiment signals that can be used to trigger alarms. This indicator is a remix of Dharmatech's, who authored the first this Global Net Liquidity equation, kudos to them! Please show them some love if you like this indicator!

TTP Big Whale ExplorerThe Big Whale Explorer is an indicator that looks into the ratio of large wallets deposits vs withdrawals. Whales tend to sale their holding when they transfer their holdings into exchanges and they tend to hold when they withdraw. In this overlay indicator you'll be able to see in an oscillator format the moves of large wallets. The moves above 1.5 turn into red symbolising that they are starting to distribute. This can eventually have an impact in the price by causing anything from a mild pullback to a considerable crash depending on how much is being actually sold into the market. Moves below 0.5 mean that the large whales are heavily accumulating and withdrawing. During these periods price could still pullback or even crash but eventually the accumulation can take prices to new highs. Instructions: 1) Load INDEX:BTCUSD or BNC:BLX to get the most historic data as possible 2) use the daily timeframe 3) load the indicator into the chart

On-Balance Accumulation Distribution (Volume-Weighted)The On-Balance Accumulation Distribution (OBAD) indicator is designed to analyze the accumulation and distribution of assets based on volume-weighted price movements. The indicator helps traders identify periods of buying and selling pressure and assess the strength of market trends. By incorporating volume and price data, the OBAD indicator provides valuable insights into the flow of funds in the market. To calculate the OBAD, the indicator multiplies the volume, price, and volume factor (user-defined) with the price change and aggregates the values over a specified length. This results in a histogram and a line plot representing the OBAD values. The OBAD signal line is derived by applying a simple moving average (SMA) to the OBAD values over a shorter period (9 by default). The crossover of the OBAD line and signal line can indicate potential entry or exit points. The OBAD indicator utilizes coloration to enhance its visual representation and interpretation. The OBAD background is colored based on the relationship between the OBAD values and the OBAD signal line. When the OBAD values are above the signal line, the background is displayed in lime, suggesting a bullish accumulation scenario. Conversely, when the OBAD values are below the signal line, the background is colored fuchsia, indicating a bearish distribution pattern. The bar coloration is also applied to provide further visual cues, with lime representing bullish conditions and fuchsia denoting bearish conditions. When the OBAD signal line is above 0, it is colored green. Conversely, if the signal line is below 0, it is colored maroon. The length parameter in the OBAD indicator determines the number of periods used in the calculation. Shorter lengths, such as 10 or 20, can make the indicator more responsive to recent price and volume changes, providing quicker signals. This can be beneficial for short-term traders or in fast-paced markets. Conversely, longer lengths, such as 50 or 100, smooth out the indicator and provide a broader view of accumulation and distribution over a more extended period. This may suit longer-term traders or when analyzing trends in less volatile markets. Traders should experiment with different lengths to find the optimal balance between responsiveness and smoothness that aligns with their trading goals. The volume factor parameter allows traders to adjust the weighting of volume in the OBAD calculation. By modifying this factor, traders can emphasize the impact of volume on the indicator. Increasing the volume factor amplifies the influence of volume in the OBAD calculation, making it more sensitive to volume changes. This can be advantageous when volume is considered a significant driver of price movements, such as during news events or market catalysts. On the other hand, decreasing the volume factor reduces the impact of volume, making the indicator less sensitive to volume fluctuations. Traders can experiment with different volume factors to align the indicator's responsiveness with their analysis of volume patterns and its importance in their trading decisions. The signal line period parameter determines the number of periods used to calculate the moving average of the OBAD values. Adjusting this parameter can help smooth out the indicator and filter out short-term noise or provide more timely signals. A shorter signal line period, such as 5 or 7, provides more sensitive and frequent crossovers with the OBAD values, potentially offering early entry or exit signals. This can be useful for traders seeking shorter-term trades or more agile trading strategies. Conversely, a longer signal line period, such as 9 or 14, smooths out the indicator and provides more stable signals. This may suit traders who prefer longer-term trends or a more conservative approach. Traders should consider their trading timeframe and the desired balance between responsiveness and stability when adjusting the signal line period. The OBAD indicator can be applied in various trading strategies and scenarios. It helps traders identify potential trend reversals, confirm existing trends, and generate entry and exit signals. For example, when the OBAD histogram transitions from fuchsia to lime, it may suggest a shift from selling to buying pressure, signaling a potential buying opportunity. Traders can also use the OBAD indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trendlines or support/resistance levels, to confirm signals and make more informed trading decisions. -- Trend Reversal Identification : The OBAD indicator can be useful in identifying potential trend reversals. When the OBAD values cross above the signal line after being below it, it may suggest a shift from bearish distribution to bullish accumulation. Conversely, when the OBAD values cross below the signal line after being above it, it may indicate a transition from bullish accumulation to bearish distribution. Traders can use these crossovers as potential signals to enter or exit trades in anticipation of a trend reversal. -- Confirmation of Trend Strength : The OBAD indicator can act as a confirmation tool for assessing the strength of existing trends. When the OBAD values remain consistently above the signal line, it confirms the presence of strong bullish accumulation and validates the upward trend. Similarly, when the OBAD values stay consistently below the signal line, it confirms the presence of strong bearish distribution and validates the downward trend. Traders can use this confirmation to have more confidence in the prevailing trend and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. -- Divergence Analysis : Divergence between the price and the OBAD indicator can provide valuable insights. Bullish divergence occurs when the price forms lower lows while the OBAD indicator forms higher lows, suggesting a potential trend reversal to the upside. Conversely, bearish divergence occurs when the price forms higher highs while the OBAD indicator forms lower highs, indicating a potential trend reversal to the downside. Traders can use these divergences as additional confirmation signals in their trading decisions. -- Volume Analysis : The OBAD indicator incorporates volume data, making it particularly useful for volume analysis. Traders can analyze the relationship between OBAD values and volume levels to gauge the strength and validity of price movements. Higher OBAD values accompanied by higher volume can indicate strong accumulation or distribution, providing confirmation for potential trade setups. On the other hand, lower OBAD values accompanied by low volume may suggest a lack of participation and potentially signal caution in trading decisions. It is important to note that the OBAD indicator, like any other technical indicator, has certain limitations. It relies on historical price and volume data, which may not always accurately reflect current market conditions or future price movements. Traders should exercise caution and use the OBAD indicator in conjunction with other analysis techniques and risk management strategies. Additionally, customization of the OBAD parameters, such as adjusting the length or volume factor, can provide flexibility to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading preferences. Overall, the OBAD indicator serves as a valuable tool for traders to gauge the accumulation and distribution patterns in the market. Its calculation based on volume-weighted price movements and the coloration enhancements make it visually appealing and intuitive to interpret. By incorporating the OBAD indicator into trading strategies and considering its limitations, traders can potentially improve their decision-making process and enhance their trading outcomes.

True Accumulation/Distribution (TG fork)An accumulation/distribution indicator that works better against gaps and with trend coloring. Accumulation/Distribution was developed by Marc Chaikin to provide insight into strength of a trend by measuring flow of buy and sell volume . The fact that A/D only factors current period's range for calculating the volume multiplier causes problem with price gaps. They are ignored or even misinterpreted. True Accumulation/Distribution solves the problem by using True Range instead of only relying on current period's high and low. Most of the time, True A/D reverts to producing the same values as the original A/D. The difference between True A/D and original A/D can be better seen when a gap has occurred, True A/D has handles it better than Accumulation/Distribution which a bearish close in period's range cause it to misinterpret the strong buy pressure as sell volume The Moving Average Cloud is simply the filling between the moving average and the True A/D. This feature was inspired by D7R ACC/DIST closed-source indicator, kudos to D7R for making such neat visual indicators (but unfortunately all closed source!). This indicator was made to extend the original work by adding MTF support and a moving average cloud and coloring. If you like this indicator, please show the original author RezzaHmt some love:

Money Flow LineWhat is this? The Money Flow Line (MFL) indicator is at its core a more even-tempered version of the Price-Volume-Trend (PVT). The primary difference is the usage of `hlc3` ((high + low + close) / 3) rather than `close` to use the "typical price" that it critical to the calculation of the Money Flow Index (MFI). Other similar indicators include the Accumulation Distribution Line (ADL) and the On Balance Volume (OBV) indicators. The purpose of all of these indicators is to attempt to measure the strength of the money flow by combining price and volume into a rolling measurement that can be compared over time to look for confirmations and divergences. The indicator also includes an optional averaging (smoothing) line that can be enabled in the display settings. Enabling this smoothing line with a desired period allows for simpler trend comparisons and also allows the user to view how far the line has diverged from the mean. This creates an indicator very similar to Elder's Force Index (EFI), which is also a `close * volume` style indicator. Why is this important? After an extreme movement or volume spike the MFI will "snap back" sharply as that bar eventually exits the set period. This produces a result that is meaningless and skews the indicator away from the market structure. Because of this behavior, range clamping, and the loss of comparative history I prefer to shy away from oscillator style indicators. The Money Flow Line instead gives you all of the history so you may compare and see the broader trend without sharp snaps in history based on an arbitrary period setting. Why is this better? This produces a no-lag indicator that isn't subject to the harsh skewing produced by they Money Flow Index's period calculation. It doesn't lose history like MFI or EFI, is clear about the trend direction, and prefers a "typical price" (averaging the entire range of each bar) rather than whatever happens to be the closing price for a given bar. How can I use it? The indicator is attempting to measure supply and demand in the markets. No indicator is perfect, but we can use all of the information we have available to make our best predictions. There are only 3 pieces of data the market gives us: 1. Price (action) 2. Volume 3. Time The Money Flow Line combines all of these data points into a readable rolling data set that attempts to show subtle balance of power shifts based on changes in volume and "smart money" (or "big money") stepping in and out of the picture. Much like PVT, we look for the same things: - Trend Identification: an up or down trend appears in the MFL - Confirmations: the MFL agrees with price action in direction and magnitude - Divergence: the MFL disagrees with price action, indicating a reversal may be coming soon When applying the smoothing line we can also look for similar things we would with EFI. The primary case would be to look for the MFL to jump very far away from the mean (a high magnitude movement) which indicates that price may be reverting towards the mean soon (a "mean reversion"). On the other hand, it may indicate strength in the current price direction. All of these predictions depend heavily on price action and market structure. Good luck!

Average Dollar VolumeDollar volume is simply the volume traded multiplied times the cost of the stock. Dollar volume is an extremely important metric for finding stocks with enough liquidity for market makers to position themselves in. Market Liquidity is defined as market's feature whereby an individual or firm can quickly purchase or sell an asset without causing a drastic change in the asset's price. The key concept you want to understand is that these big instructions with billions of dollars need liquidity in a stock in order to even think about buying it, and therefore these institutions will demand a large dollar volume. A good dollar volume amount, that represents a pretty liquid name, is typically above 100 million $ average. Why are institutions important? Simple because they are the ones who make stocks move, and I mean really move. If you want to see large growth from a stock in a short amount of time, you need institutions wielding billions of dollars to be fighting one another to buy more shares. Institutions are the ones who make or break a stock, this is why we call them market makers. My script calculates average dollar volume using four averages: the 50, the 30, the 20, and the 10 period. I use multiple averages in order to provide the accurate and up to date information to you. It then selects the minimum of these averages and divides this value by 1 million and displays this number to you. TL;DR? If you want monster moves from your stocks, you need to pick names with average high liquidity(dollar volume >= $100 million). The number presented to you is in millions of whatever currency the name is traded in.

Up/Down Volume RatioUp/Down Volume Ratio is calculated by summing volume on days when it closes up and divide that total by the volume on days when the stock closed down. High volume up days are typically a sign of accumulation(buying) by big players, while down days are signs of distribution(selling) by big market players. The Up Down volume ratio takes this assumption and turns it into a tangible number that's easier for the trader to understand. My formula is calculated using the past 50 periods, be warned it will not display a value for stocks with under 50 periods of trading history. This indicator is great for identify accumulation of growth stocks early on in their moves, most of the time you would like a growth stocks U/D value to be above 2, showing institutional sponsorship of a stock. Up/Down Volume value interpretation: U/D < 1 -> Bearish outlook, as sellers are in control U/D = 1 -> Sellers and Buyers are equal U/D > 1 -> Bullish outlook, as buyers are in control U/D > 2 -> Bullish outlook, significant accumulation underway by market makers U/D >= 3 -> MONSTER STOCK ALERT, market makers can not get enough of this stock and are ravenous to buy more U/D values greater than 2 are rare and typically do not last very long, and U/D >= 3 are extremely rare one example I kind find of a stock's U/D peaking above 3 was Google back in 2005. MAKE SURE TO HIT THE SETTINGS WHEEL AND CHECK THE BOX NEXT TO PLOT IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THE PLOTTED LINE.

Volume Buzz 2.0Volume Buzz/Volume Run Rate as seen on TC2000 and MarketSmith respectively. Basically, the volume buzz tells you what percentage over average(100 time period moving average) the volume traded was. You can use this indicator to more readily identify above-average trading volume and accumulation days on charts. The percentage will show up in the top left corner, make sure to click the settings button and uncheck the second box(left of plot) in order to get rid of the chart line. Pictured above, a chart with the volume on the bottom along with the 50-day moving average applied to volume. As you can see in the top left it will tell you the "volume buzz" of that day, telling you what days were on above-average volume and how above-average those days were.

Accumulation and Distribution MomentumThis applies Chande Momentum to Accumulation and Distribution index as a means to changes. Experimental oscillator. Compare it to both Money Flows, Acc/Dis and Chande and you notice it has elements of all of them. Could potentially replace other volume based momentum indicators in your strategy. It is a little more volatile, reaching from side to side, while having a tendency to lean towards the side that gets the most action over a longer period of time. It also tends to reach and hang in oversold regions BEFORE a pump - something I noticed. Could be used as an early warning sign as well as for overall trend analysis.

Chaikin Oscillator (ADL Oscillator) [UTS]The Chaikin Oscillator is basically an oscillator version of the Accumulation / Distribution Index, also known as ADL Indicator. General Usage The indicator runs both above and below zero, made to denote whether an asset is in a bullish (above zero) or bearish (below zero) trend. It can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences. A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross. Moving Averages 4 different Moving Averages are available: EMA (Exponential Moving Average) SMA (Simple Moving Average) VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average) WMA (Weighted Moving Average)

ADL - Accumulation Distribution Line [UTS]an underlying asset. It is determined by the changes in price and volume. The volume acts as a weighting coefficient at the change of price — the higher the coefficient (the volume) is the greater the contribution of the price change (for this period of time) will be in the value of the indicator. The indicator is also known as Accumulation / Distribution Index. Common known variants of this type of indicator are the On Balance Volume, Chaikin Oscillator or Chaikin Money Flow.
