Metatron Lines (Highs & Lows Geometry)Metatron Lines
Hey TradingView community! 👋
I wanted to share something I've been working on that might help you see market structure from a different angle. This indicator connects pivot highs and lows using geometric patterns, creating what I call "Metatron Lines."
What it does (simply put):
- Finds significant highs and lows on your chart
- Draws lines connecting these points to reveal hidden geometric relationships
- Shows you the underlying structure that price tends to respect
Why I built this:
I noticed that markets often move in patterns that aren't immediately obvious. Sometimes the most important levels aren't the obvious support and resistance lines, but the intersections and angles created by connecting multiple pivot points. This tool helps visualize those relationships.
How it might help you:
- Pattern Recognition : Spot geometric formations that traditional analysis might miss
- Support/Resistance : See where multiple geometric lines converge to create strong levels
- Market Structure : Better understand how price flows and where it might find obstacles
- Confluence Areas : Identify zones where multiple geometric elements align
A few honest thoughts:
This isn't a magic bullet or a guaranteed profit maker (nothing is!). It's simply another lens through which to view price action. Some traders find geometric analysis helpful, others prefer different approaches - and that's perfectly fine.
I've tried to make it customizable so you can adjust it to fit your trading style and timeframe. The default settings work well for most instruments, but feel free to experiment.
Settings you can adjust:
- Pivot detection sensitivity
- Number of connection points
- Line colors and styles
- Which connections to show (highs, lows, or both)
I hope some of you find this useful! I'm always learning from this community, so if you have suggestions for improvements or different ways to use it, I'd love to hear them.
Trade safe and trust your process! 📈

Pivot Liquidity Sweep [scalpmeister]📌 Pivot Liquidity Sweep
Scalp-oriented, liquidity sweep-based advanced signal and strategy indicator.
This indicator analyzes the price's sweeping of significant pivot levels and the subsequent breakouts to generate long/short signals based on different logics. It is sensitive to both classic sweep logic and strong reversal candles. Additionally, it visually marks liquidity gathering zones, offering excellent opportunities especially for scalp and intraday traders.
⚙️ Features and Strategy Types
🟢 Automatic Pivot Detection:
Pivot high/low levels are detected and stored based on the number of left and right bars.
🔴 Sweep Detection (Stop Hunt):
If the price violates a pivot level with a wick and closes inside, it is considered a sweep (liquidity cleaning). Strategies activate after this sweep.
🧠 5 Different Signal Styles:
SweepBreak:
It is expected that the extreme (high/low) level of the sweeping candle is broken with a close.
PivotBreak:
After the sweep, the first newly formed pivot in the trend direction is expected to break. (It is dynamically determined and drawn on the chart.)
StrongSweep:
It is sufficient if the candle following the sweep surpasses the previous candle with a single candle. No additional breakout is expected.
StrongCandle:
Strong momentum candles measured with a special RSI calculation are taken into account. It considers strong opposite-direction candles formed shortly after a pivot sweep.
ReversalCandleSweep:
Reversal candles that close in the opposite direction after a sweep (e.g., a red close on a sweep candle formed at the top or a green close at the bottom) are directly considered as signals.
📐 Technical Details:
Signals are triggered only once (triggered control).
Sweep lines (green/red), Long and Short lines (Orange)
Strong candles are filtered using an RSI-momentum-based measurement system (StrongCandle).
Sweep and breakout zones are dynamically invalidated. That is, if the zones are violated by the price, the signals and lines are automatically canceled.
🎯 Who Should Use It?
Professional traders working with liquidity zones
Scalp and intraday strategy practitioners
Those focused on stop hunts, sweeps, and reversal zones

Inside Bar Detector - 15min
🔍 What is an Inside Bar?
An **Inside Bar** is a candle that forms **entirely within the high and low of the previous candle**. It represents **consolidation**, **indecision**, or **potential reversal**, and is a key signal in The Strat trading method.
🔧 What the Script Does:
1. **Timeframe Restriction**:
* The script activates **only on the 15-minute timeframe**, avoiding clutter on other timeframes.
2. **Inside Bar Logic**:
* It checks whether the **current bar’s high is lower than the previous bar’s high**, **AND** the **current bar’s low is higher than the previous bar’s low**.
* If both conditions are true, it confirms an Inside Bar.
3. **Visual Display**:
* When an Inside Bar is detected, the script **plots a yellow label ("1") above the bar**.
* The label represents the Strat 1-bar and helps you easily spot potential setups.
🎯 Use Case:
* Ideal for **Strat traders**, **price action analysts**, or **any trader** looking for breakout or reversal opportunities.
* Common setups include **1-2**, **1-3**, or **double inside bar** breakouts.
Mark specific candle (e.g. bar 20)This Pine Script indicator, "Mark specific candle (e.g. bar 20)" (short title "Mark candle"), is a simple yet powerful tool to visually highlight a particular candle on your chart.
What it does:
It marks a specific candle (e.g., the 20th, 10th, or any number you choose) counting backwards from the most recent candle on your chart. The marked candle will be colored in a subtle light grey and also feature a tiny, matching grey arrow pointing down from above it.
Why it's useful:
This indicator helps you quickly identify and track a consistent reference point in recent price action. It's great for strategies that depend on fixed look-back periods or for simply keeping an eye on a specific historical candle's position as new data comes in.
Key Features:
Adjustable Candle Number: Easily change which candle is marked (e.g., 20th, 10th, 5th) directly from the indicator settings using the "Candle Number to Mark (from end)" input.
Clear Visuals: Both the candle color and a small arrow provide a subtle, yet effective, visual cue.
How to use:
Simply add this script to your TradingView chart. Then, open the indicator's settings to set your desired candle number.
Bias Bar Coloring + Multi-Timeframe Bias Table + AlertsMulti-Timeframe Bias Bar Coloring with Alerts & Table
This indicator provides a powerful, visual way to assess price action bias across multiple timeframes—Monthly, Weekly, and Daily—while also coloring each bar based on the current chart’s bias.
Features:
Persistent Bar Coloring: Bars are colored green for bullish bias (close above previous high), red for bearish bias (close below previous low), and persist the last color if neither condition is met. This makes trend shifts and momentum easy to spot at a glance.
Bias Change Alerts: Get notified instantly when the bias flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa, helping you stay on top of potential trade setups or risk management decisions.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: A table anchored in the top right corner displays the current bias for the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts, color-coded for quick reference. This gives you a clear view of higher timeframe context while trading any chart.
Consistent Logic: The same objective bias logic is used for all timeframes, ensuring clarity and reliability in your analysis.
How to Use:
Use the bar colors for instant visual feedback on trend and momentum shifts.
Watch the top-right table to align your trades with higher timeframe bias, improving your edge and filtering out lower-probability setups.
Set alerts to be notified of bias changes, so you never miss a potential opportunity.
This tool is ideal for traders who value multi-timeframe analysis, want clear visual cues for trend direction, and appreciate having actionable alerts and context at their fingertips.
Hidden Orderblock,HOB,OB,BB,MT,MTF Hidden Order Block & Breaker Block (HOB/BB) Multi-Timeframe Analysis
A powerful tool for Smart Money traders and ICT-style practitioners seeking precision, confluence, and clean visual execution. This indicator identifies institutional price zones such as Hidden Order Blocks (HOB), Breaker Blocks (BB), Partial Hidden Order Blocks (PHOB), and traditional Order Blocks (OB)—all across multiple timeframes with minimal chart clutter.
✅ Key Features
1. Hidden Order Block (HOB) Detection
Identifies non-obvious order blocks often hidden within price action.
Requires the EQ (Equilibrium) of the block to pass through at least one Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Invalidation Rule: If price touches the EQ and then closes beyond it (depending on structure), the HOB is invalidated.
2. Breaker Block (BB) Detection
Highlights zones where price made a liquidity grab followed by a strong reversal.
Useful for anticipating support/resistance flips and high-probability reaction areas.
3. Partial Hidden Order Block (PHOB) Detection
A variation of HOBs where price only partially touches the EQ.
Often acts as an early warning zone for reversals or continuation.
Less strict than HOBs, but still institutionally relevant.
4. Traditional Order Block (OB) Detection
Identifies bullish/bearish OBs based on engulfing patterns and displacement.
Marks only the body of the engulfing candle, with the EQ line acting as a key validation/invalidation level.
Once the EQ is touched, the OB is considered invalidated.
5. Engulfing Filter Engine
Customizable logic for OB qualification.
“Easy Engulfing Mode” simplifies detection for newer traders or faster workflow.
Fine-tune aggressiveness and visual clarity with user-defined settings.
6. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Visualization
Overlay OBs, HOBs, BBs, and PHOBs from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) on lower timeframes (15m, 1H).
Enhances top-down confluence without switching charts.
Keeps the visual experience clean and intuitive.
7. Minimalist Visual Design
Only the zone boundaries and EQ lines are displayed.
No extra noise—perfect for both scalpers and swing traders.
Dynamic label positioning and styling for improved chart aesthetics.
8. Performance-Optimized Code
Lightweight, real-time rendering.
Designed for responsiveness—even on lower timeframes with dense historical data.
⚙️ How It Works (Simplified Logic)
Order Block Detection:
Scans for engulfing candles that show displacement.
Defines the OB as the body of the engulfing candle.
EQ line is marked and projected forward until invalidated.
Hidden Order Block Logic:
Starts from a traditional OB, but requires the EQ to pass through at least one FVG.
Upon a close beyond the EQ in the opposite direction, the HOB is invalidated.
PHOB Logic:
Similar to HOBs, but allows partial touches of the EQ before reacting.
Breaker Block Logic:
Identifies liquidity sweeps followed by impulsive moves.
Marks these zones as BBs for potential reaction areas.
📈 Use Cases
Detect institutional price zones with high precision.
Simplify decision-making with visual EQs and MTF overlays.
Integrate seamlessly into:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
ICT-style trading
Wyckoff methodology
Discretionary zone-to-zone strategies
🧠 Definitions Summary
OB (Order Block):
Engulfed candle body; EQ is the midpoint of the body. Invalid once EQ is touched.
HOB (Hidden Order Block):
Like OB, but EQ must pass through at least one FVG.
Invalidated when a candle touches EQ and closes beyond it.
PHOB (Partial Hidden Order Block):
Like HOB, but allows partial touch of the EQ to remain valid.

Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles)Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles)
Created by The_Forex_Steward
This indicator highlights institutional-style supply and demand zones using synthetic SMA-based candles rather than raw price data. It provides a smoother, more refined view of price action to help identify key imbalance areas where price is likely to react.
Features:
- Uses SMA-smoothed synthetic candles to detect bullish and bearish engulfing structures
- Draws demand zones after bullish breakouts and supply zones after bearish breakouts
- Zones are persistent for a customizable number of bars
- Mitigated zones can optionally be removed from the chart
- Includes alerts for breakout and mitigation events
- Optional plotting of synthetic candles over price for visual clarity
How It Works:
When a synthetic candle closes above the high of a previous bearish candle, a bullish engulfing is detected, and a demand zone is created from that bearish candle’s high and low. Conversely, when price closes below the low of a previous bullish candle, a supply zone is formed. These zones stay on the chart for the user-defined duration or until they are mitigated by price, at which point they can be removed automatically.
How to Use:
- Adjust the SMA Length to control how smooth the synthetic candles appear
- Enable or disable Show Supply Zones and Show Demand Zones as needed
- Set the Zone Duration to control how long each zone persists
- Use Delete Mitigated Zones to automatically remove zones when price returns to them
- Optionally enable Show Synthetic SMA Candles to see the candle logic used in detection
- Use the built-in alerts to stay notified of new zone creation or mitigation
Note: This tool is most effective when combined with structure or trend-based strategies for confirmation.
Unified Sentiment Candles Overlay (SMA)Unified Sentiment Candles (SMA) Indicator
The Unified Sentiment Candles (SMA) is a custom overlay indicator designed to provide a smoothed visualization of market sentiment by plotting synthetic candles based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of open, high, low, and close prices. It helps traders identify trend direction and potential reversals more clearly.
How to Use:
- Observe Candle Colors: Green candles indicate bullish sentiment (close ≥ open), while red candles suggest bearish sentiment (close < open).
- Trend Identification: Consistent green candles point to an uptrend, whereas consistent red candles may signal a downtrend.
- Support & Resistance Zones: The SMA-based candles smooth out short-term volatility, assisting in spotting key support and resistance levels.
- Entry & Exit Signals: Look for color changes or candle pattern formations within the synthetic candles to time entries and exits more effectively.
Settings:
SMA Length : Adjust this parameter to control the smoothing period. A shorter length makes the indicator more responsive, while a longer length smooths out more noise.
This indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and improve trading accuracy.

Directional Change Extremes by CR86Подтверждение сигналов в индкаторе Directional Change происходит на основе алгоритма отката цены (sigma), заданного как процент от предыдущего экстремума. Процесс следующий:
Поиск вершины (Top): Изначально индикатор ищет максимум (tmp_max). Когда цена откатывает ниже текущего максимума на величину sigma (например, close < tmp_max - tmp_max * sigma), вершина подтверждается, и сигнал Top фиксируется. Это запускает поиск основания.
Поиск основания (Bottom): После подтверждения вершины минимальная цена (tmp_min) обновляется. Когда цена растет выше текущего минимума на sigma (например, close > tmp_min + tmp_min * sigma), основание подтверждается, и сигнал Bottom фиксируется. Это переключает индикатор обратно к поиску вершины.
Условия: Подтверждение происходит только при закрытии бара, что обеспечивает стабильность сигнала. Метки "Confirm" появляются на баре, где выполнено условие отката.
Пример: Если tmp_max = 1000 и sigma = 0.031, подтверждение Top произойдет, когда цена упадет ниже 969 (1000 * 0.969).
English
Signal confirmation in the Directional Change indicator is based on a price retracement algorithm (sigma) defined as a percentage of the previous extreme. The process is as follows:
Top Detection: The indicator initially seeks a maximum (tmp_max). A top is confirmed when the price retraces below the current maximum by sigma (e.g., close < tmp_max - tmp_max * sigma), triggering a Top signal. This shifts the focus to bottom detection.
Bottom Detection: After a top is confirmed, the minimum price (tmp_min) is updated. A bottom is confirmed when the price rises above the current minimum by sigma (e.g., close > tmp_min + tmp_min * sigma), triggering a Bottom signal. This switches the indicator back to seeking a top.
Conditions: Confirmation occurs only on bar close, ensuring signal stability. "Confirm" labels appear on the bar where the retracement condition is met.
Example: If tmp_max = 1000 and sigma = 0.031, a Top is confirmed when the price drops below 969 (1000 * 0.969).
Stephis Supply & Demand Zones v3
📉 Support
Definition: Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause or reverse due to a concentration of buying interest.
Why it matters: When the price of an asset falls to a support level, traders expect buyers to step in, preventing the price from falling further.
Visual clue: On a chart, support often appears as a horizontal line where the price has bounced up multiple times.
📈 Demand
Definition: Demand refers to the willingness and ability of buyers to purchase an asset at a given price.
In trading context: High demand typically pushes prices up, while low demand can lead to price drops.
Relation to support: A support level exists because of demand—buyers are willing to buy at that price, creating a floor.
🧠 How They Work Together
When price approaches a support level, traders watch to see if demand increases—if it does, the price may bounce.
If the support level is broken, it may signal that demand has weakened, and the price could fall further.
🔁 Opposite Concept: Resistance & Supply
Resistance is the opposite of support—it's a level where selling pressure (supply) may stop a price from rising.
Just like demand creates support, supply creates resistance.
Valid Pullbacks [keypoems]Valid Pullbacks
This indicator marks Valid Pullbacks on a chart. The core of the script is designed to find significant swing points by maintaining and validating candidate highs and lows.
Notice this is very different than other swing marker (fractals or otherwise). This is the base used to draw DTFX/Supply and Demand Zones. I am starting a full rewrite of all the components of my market structure indicator and this is part 1.
Core Concepts
The script operates in a stateful manner, alternating between searching for a Valid Pullback High and a Valid Pullback Low.
Initial State: At the beginning, the script assumes it is searching for the first Valid Pullback High.
Alternating Search: Once a Valid Pullback High is confirmed, the script switches its state to search for a Valid Pullback Low. Conversely, after a Valid Pullback Low is confirmed, it begins searching for a Valid Pullback High. This ensures a proper sequence of alternating swing points.
Defining a Swing Point
The script uses two primary ways to define a swing point, depending on user settings:
Wick-Based Swing (Default):
A Swing High occurs when the high of a candle is higher than the high of the candle immediately before and after it. (high > high and high > high )
A Swing Low occurs when the low of a candle is lower than the low of the candle immediately before and after it. (low < low and low < low )
Close-Based Swing:
A Swing High is identified based on a more complex relationship involving the closes and highs/opens of the three most recent candles, requiring the swing point to be formed by an "up-close" candle.
A Swing Low is identified similarly, requiring the swing point to be formed by a "down-close" candle.
* The Logic
This logic to update the internal state runs on every bar of the chart to update the status of candidate highs and lows.
1. Candidate Selection
The script continuously searches for the best possible candidate for the next valid swing.
Searching for a Candidate High:
This happens only if the last confirmed swing was a Valid Pullback Low (or at the very start).
On every new bar, the script checks if the previous bar represents a better candidate than the current one.
A "better" candidate is one with a higher price. The specific price checked (high or close) depends on whether the close-based or wick-based definition of a swing is being used.
If a better candidate is found, it replaces the existing candidateHigh. The candidate's price is always recorded as the high of that bar.
Searching for a Candidate Low:
This happens only if the last confirmed swing was a Valid Pullback High.
The logic is the mirror opposite of the high search. It looks for a "better" candidate with a lower price on every new bar.
If a better candidate is found, it replaces the existing candidateLow. The candidate's price is always recorded as the low of that bar.
2. Candidate Confirmation
Once a candidate is being tracked, the script waits for a specific market action to confirm it as a Valid swing.
Confirming a Valid Pullback High:
A candidateHigh is confirmed and becomes a Valid Pullback High if the price breaks below the low of the candidate bar.
When this happens:
The candidateHigh is stored in the validHighs array.
Both the candidateHigh and candidateLow are completely reset.
The script's state switches to now search for a Valid Pullback Low.
Confirming a Valid Pullback Low:
A candidateLow is confirmed and becomes a Valid Pullback Low if the price breaks above the high of the candidate bar.
When this happens:
The candidateLow is stored in the validLows array.
Both the candidateLow and candidateHigh are completely reset.
The script's state switches to now search for a Valid Pullback High.
This continuous process of searching, updating, and confirming candidates allows the script to dynamically identify and plot the most recent and relevant valid swing points on the chart.
PineConnector [Extension] | FractalystWhat is the PineConnector Extension?
The PineConnector Extension is a sophisticated bridge indicator designed to seamlessly connect Quantify trading signals with PineConnector's automated execution system.
This extension transforms manual signal monitoring into fully automated trading by interpreting Quantify's signal outputs and converting them into executable PineConnector commands.
Unlike standalone trading indicators, this extension serves as a communication layer between your signal generation (Quantify indicator) and trade execution (PineConnector), enabling hands-free trading across multiple timeframes and instruments.
How does the signal processing work?
The extension processes four distinct signal types from Quantify indicators:
Signal Values:
1 = Buy/Long signal - Opens bullish positions
-1 = Sell/Short signal - Opens bearish positions
0.5 = Close Long - Closes all long positions
-0.5 = Close Short - Closes all short positions
The script continuously monitors the "Signal Source" input, which should be connected to any Quantify indicator's output. When a signal is detected, the extension automatically generates the corresponding PineConnector command with your configured parameters.
What are the available order types and how do they work?
The extension supports three order execution modes:
Market Orders:
- Execute immediately at current market price
- Highest execution probability
- Subject to slippage during volatile conditions
Limit Orders:
- Execute only when price reaches a more favorable level
- Buy limits placed below current price
- Sell limits placed above current price
- Dynamic pip offset calculated using ATR-based volatility
Stop Orders:
- Execute when price breaks beyond specified levels
- Buy stops placed above current price
- Sell stops placed below current price
- Useful for breakout strategies
Dynamic Pricing Calculation:
The extension calculates optimal entry prices using volatility-adjusted pip offsets:
priceVolatility = ta.atr(14) / close * 100
volatilityFactor = math.min(math.max(priceVolatility / 0.1, 0.5), 2.0)
pipsOffset = 10 * volatilityFactor
How does the risk management system work?
Risk Percentage:
The extension uses percentage-based position sizing where you specify the risk per trade (0.1% to 10.0%). This value is passed to PineConnector, which calculates the exact position size based on:
- Account balance
- Stop loss distance
- Instrument specifications
- Broker settings
Stop Loss Integration:
- The "Stop Source" input connects to external stop loss levels from Quantify or other indicators. - This ensures:
- Consistent risk-reward ratios
- Dynamic stop placement based on market structure
- Automatic position sizing calculations
Multi-Asset Compatibility:
The extension automatically detects instrument types and adjusts pip calculations:
Forex: mintick * 10
Crypto: mintick * 10
Other assets: mintick * 1
What does the information display table show?
The real-time status table provides essential configuration monitoring:
Status Indicators:
- License: Shows PineConnector license ID status (Blue = Set, Red = Missing)
- Security: Displays secret key status (Blue = Set, Orange = Disabled)
- Comment: Shows trade comment or timeframe if empty
- Symbol: Current trading symbol (manual override or chart symbol)
- Order Type: Active execution mode (Market/Limit/Stop)
- Risk: Risk percentage with color coding (Blue ≤1%, Orange >1%)
- Signal: Connection status (Blue = Connected, Red = Not Set)
- Stop: Stop loss source status (Blue = Connected, Red = Not Set)
Color Coding System:
Blue: Optimal/Connected
Orange: Warning/Moderate risk
Red: Error/Not configured

SMT DivergenceSMT Divergence Indicator
This powerful indicator identifies high-probability reversal points by detecting SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergences between two correlated assets. It spots subtle shifts in market momentum, revealing when one asset fails to confirm the price action of another—often signaling an impending trend change.
Key Features:
Inter-Market Divergence Detection: Automatically compares the price action of the main symbol with a second user-defined asset.
Identifies Key Reversals: Pinpoints both bullish and bearish SMT divergences, highlighting hidden strength in downtrends and underlying weakness in uptrends.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Allows fine-tuning of the pivot length to adjust sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes.
Flexible Display Modes: Choose between clean 'Lines' connecting the diverging pivots or precise 'Labels' marking the exact high/low points.
Full Visual Customization: Complete control over the colors and line thickness for seamless integration with your existing chart layout.
Built-in Alerts: Stay notified of every potential opportunity with alerts for both bullish and bearish signals.
Settings:
Core Parameters:
Comparison Symbol: Select the second asset to compare against for divergence analysis (e.g., NQ1! if you are charting ES1!).
Pivot Length: Defines the number of bars to the left and right required to confirm a pivot high or low.
Visual Settings:
Display Style: Choose to visualize divergences as 'Lines' or 'Labels'.
Bearish/Bullish Color: Set custom colors for bearish and bullish divergence indicators.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the divergence lines for optimal visibility.
Perfect for traders who utilize inter-market analysis to confirm trade ideas. The SMT Divergence indicator provides a crucial edge by exposing non-confirmations between related assets, allowing for earlier and more confident entries into potential market reversals.

SAFE Leverage Pro x50Safe Leverage Pro x50 — Safe leverage based on timeframes
Description:
Safe Leverage Pro x50 is an indicator designed to help traders choose prudent and realistic leverage, tailored to the timeframe being traded and the asset chosen.
Based on rigorous statistical research, this indicator provides a visual recommendation of the maximum typical leverage by timeframe and automatically suggests a more conservative value (by default, half) for trading with greater peace of mind and risk control.
* The goal is not for the indicator to make decisions for you, but rather to support your pre-defined entry strategies, allowing you to clearly understand how much leverage you can use without compromising your account against normal price fluctuations.
*The indicator does not calculate based on real-time volatility or ATR, but rather relies on statistical historical patterns obtained by analyzing price behavior after entry, differentiating between average movements in long and short entries by timeframe.
Important: Before following the recommendations of this indicator, check the maximum leverage your broker or exchange allows for the asset you are trading, as it can vary significantly between platforms.
* Philosophy behind the indicator:
This project arises as a response to the simplistic discourse that condemns leverage without distinguishing nuances.
Leverage is not intrinsically bad. What is dangerous is leveraging without method, without awareness, and without risk management.
Safe Leverage Pro x50 is designed to change that narrative:
** It's not about whether or not to use leverage, but when, how much, and how to use it intelligently.
TreeCandlePattern-FusimetriaA Powerful 3-Candle Reversal Pattern Inspired by Smart Money Principles
How to Use the Indicator Effectively
This pattern works exceptionally well across higher timeframes (H4, Daily, Weekly) where institutional traders operate, often appearing at key turning points in the market.
Key Settings
Best Timeframes: H1 for intraday trades, H4/Daily for swing positions
Customisation Options: Adjust arrow colours (green for bullish, red for bearish) and size for better visibility
Alerts: Set notifications for when new signals appear to catch reversals early
The indicator automatically marks:
🔺 Bullish reversals (when price breaks under previous lows then surges back up)
🔻 Bearish reversals (when price spikes above prior highs then collapses)
The Trading Philosophy Behind the Pattern
This setup is remarkably similar to the classic "Power of Three" reversal structure, where:
The First Candle shows the final push of the current trend (either greed in an uptrend or fear in a downtrend)
The Second Candle traps retail traders by creating false breakouts (where smart money accumulates or distributes)
The Third Candle confirms the reversal by closing beyond the extreme of the second candle
Why This Works Like Smart Money Trading
Institutional traders often use these false breakouts to enter positions against the crowd
The third candle's close beyond the extreme shows absorption of liquidity (stops being taken out before reversal)
Works particularly well near key support/resistance levels where banks and hedge funds place their orders
Advanced Confirmation Techniques
To filter out false signals and trade like the professionals:
Volume Analysis
Look for higher volume on the second candle (shows strong institutional interest)
The third candle should ideally have lower volume as retail traders get trapped
Price Action Context
Works best after strong trends (not in ranging markets)
Combine with Fibonacci levels (61.8% retracements often see reversals)
Watch for wick rejections on the third candle (shows failure of breakout)
Example: Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) Daily Chart
!
After a long uptrend, price makes a false breakout above resistance (second candle)
The next candle closes below the second candle's low, confirming reversal
This was followed by a 30% drop as smart money exited longs
When to Enter & Exit Trades
✅ Entry: At the open of the fourth candle after confirmation
✅ Stop Loss: Just beyond the extreme of the second candle
✅ Take Profit: At nearest support/resistance level or using 1:2 risk-reward
⚠️ Avoid This Pattern In:
Choppy, sideways markets
During major news events when price action becomes erratic
Double Inside Body Candles with Box & Alert + 5-Bar LinesThis indicator identifies Double Inside Body Candle patterns, where:
Candle 1 is completely inside Candle 2,
Candle 2 is completely inside Candle 3 (the parent candle),
Candle 3 has a real body (not a doji or negligible body size).
Once the pattern is detected:
A label appears below the current candle.
A highlight box is drawn around Candle 3 (the parent candle) body range.
Horizontal lines are drawn from the top and bottom of Candle 3’s body and extend forward for exactly 5 bars to visualize potential breakout levels.
The script also detects and highlights breakouts:
🔼 Bullish breakout: if price closes above Candle 3's body high.
🔽 Bearish breakout: if price closes below Candle 3's body low.
Alerts are available for:
Double Inside Body pattern detection
Bullish breakout
Bearish breakout
Traders can use this script to identify consolidation periods (double inside bars), then monitor for breakout opportunities in either direction, using the 5-bar lines as short-term breakout levels.
Candle Range Detector by TradeTech AnalysisCandle Range Detector by TradeTech Analysis
This advanced indicator identifies and visualizes price compression zones based on inside bar formations, then tracks how price behaves around those zones — offering valuable insights into liquidity sweeps, range expansions, and trap/mitigation behavior.
The script builds upon the foundational concept of range-based price action, commonly used by institutional traders, and adds automation, mitigation tracking, and sweep detection to map how price reacts around these critical ranges.
🔍 How It Works:
• Range Formation: A new range is detected when the current candle forms entirely within the high and low of the previous candle (i.e., an inside bar). This behavior often indicates price compression and potential breakout zones.
• Range Extension: Once a range is confirmed, the script projects upper and lower boundaries (using either a percentage-based multiplier or Fibonacci log extension), providing context for expected breakout zones.
• Mitigation Tracking: The script continuously monitors whether price breaks above or below the projected extensions, marking that range as mitigated — useful for confirming whether liquidity was absorbed.
• Sweep Detection: If price re-visits a mitigated zone and shows signs of a liquidity sweep (via wick + close behavior), the indicator triggers visual sweep labels and optional alerts.
🧠 Optional Visual Enhancements:
• Highlight range-forming candles with light blue background (toggle on/off)
• Midpoint dotted line for symmetry analysis
• Labels for “Range High” and “Range Low” for visual clarity
• Dynamic box drawing that adapts upon mitigation or continuation
⚙️ Customizable Features:
• Choose between Normal and Fibonacci-based detection modes
• Toggle visibility of range boxes, extension lines, and sweep markers
• Configure sweep alerts, mitigation window size, and visual transparency
⸻
🧪 Use Cases
• Identify consolidation zones before major price moves
• Confirm liquidity sweeps for entry/exit traps
• Visualize and test mitigation behavior of past zones
• Combine with Order Flow or Volume Profile tools to enhance context
⸻
⚠️ This is a fully original implementation that goes beyond classical inside-bar scanners by incorporating mitigation, extension projection, and liquidity sweeps — making it a powerful tool for intraday, swing, and even Smart Money-based trading setups.
Protected Pivots Points by RiotwolftradingProtected Pivots Points by Riotwolftrading
---
You have an advanced visual tool designed for traders who want to identify and manage key price levels with maximum precision.
This script detects protected pivots (significant highs and lows) and marks them with horizontal lines on the chart. These lines automatically extend for a fixed number of bars or until price invalidates the level with a closing break.
---
🚀 What makes this indicator special?
---
✅ Protected pivot detection:
The indicator identifies protected highs and lows using a fixed pivot strength
✅ Wick break detection (liquidity sweep visualization):
When a wick crosses the pivot level **without the candle closing beyond the level, the indicator automatically changes the line’s color and style.
👉 This immediately shows the trader that the level was tested but remains structurally valid.
✅ Highly customizable visuals:
* Choose whether to show color for protected highs, lows, or wick break levels.
* Set your own colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and line widths.
---
### 🌟 Why is wick break detection so valuable?
---
💡 Instant context on price action:
No need to manually check every candle to see if a level was barely tested. The indicator changes the line’s appearance automatically, so you can focus on decisions.
💡 Clear distinction between untouched levels and tested levels:
* A level with no wick test is pristine support/resistance.
* A level tested by a wick but not invalidated is still valid — but may have been swept for liquidity.
💡 Crucial for precision trading strategies:
This is particularly important for strategies that rely on:
✅ Liquidity sweeps / stop hunts.
✅ Reversals from tested zones.
✅ Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
✅ ICT concepts, breakers, Quasimodo, BOS/MSS.
The wick break visualization helps filter false breakouts and highlights areas where institutional players may have stepped in.
💡 Avoid premature exits or entries:**
The color/style change tells you a level was tested but not broken, so you avoid overreacting to wick activity.
---
### ⚡ Example use case**
Imagine a protected low line:
🔹 Price dips and its wick touches the level — the line changes color (e.g. violet solid line).
🔹 The level is still valid because the close didn’t break it.
🔹 This could signal a stop hunt or liquidity grab, with a possible reversal opportunity right at that level.
---
### 🧭 **Why most pivot indicators don’t offer this**
Most pivot indicators:
❌ Simply mark the level and remove it after a close break.
❌ Don’t distinguish between a wick test and a true break.
🌟 **This indicator does — giving traders an extra layer of market insight.**
---
### ⚠ **Disclaimer**
This indicator is a visual aid to help identify key levels and price reactions. It does **not** generate buy or sell signals and should be used alongside your trading analysis and strategy.

S&P Power Hour Liquidity Sweep StrategyThis indicator is designed for intraday traders who want to take advantage of liquidity grabs, break of structure (BOS), and optimal entry points during the most volatile hours of the trading day: the NYSE Power Hours (09:30–10:30 AM and 02:30–04:00 PM EST).
Key Features:
Power Hour Detection:
Automatically identifies the two most liquid hours of the trading session.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Highlights when price sweeps a recent swing high or low — a common trap before reversals.
Break of Structure (BOS):
Confirms trend shift after a liquidity sweep with smart money-style BOS markers.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Highlighting: (Optional)
Spot institutional imbalances between candles to fine-tune trade entries.
How It Works:
Wait for price to sweep a swing high or low during the power hours.
Look for a break of structure (BOS) in the opposite direction.
Enter on the next candle or FVG retest.
The indicator will plot a yellow circle for entry, a red line for stop, and a green line for the target (based on your RR setting).
Customizable Inputs:
Swing sensitivity (lookback bars)
Risk-to-reward ratio
Optional FVG visibility
Best Used With:
Higher timeframe bias (15m/1H)
Order blocks or volume analysis
Avoiding major news events
Whether you're a scalper or precision-based intraday trader, this tool helps you spot high-probability reversal setups with clean visuals and clear confirmations.
Liquidity Sweep Trap Alert (Improved)Detects high-conviction “liquidity sweep” traps (false breakouts) by comparing price against recent swing highs/lows, applying a wick-size filter and a cooldown period so that only meaningful reversal wicks trigger signals.
Shows labels on the chart and provides alert conditions when a trap occurs.
How It Works (Core Concept)
Swing High / Low Sweep
The script looks back a user-defined number of bars (Lookback Period) to identify the most recent swing high and swing low (excluding the current forming bar).
A Bull Trap is identified when price’s high exceeds that swing high intrabar but the candle closes back below it.
A Bear Trap is identified when price’s low dips below that swing low intrabar but the candle closes back above it.
Wick-Size Filter
To avoid tiny “micro-sweeps,” the script measures the length of the reversal wick (the distance beyond the swing high or below the swing low) as a percentage of the bar’s total range.
Only if this wick percentage ≥ Min Wick/Range % does the raw trap condition qualify for further consideration.
Cooldown Mechanism
After a trap fires, the same type of trap (bull or bear) is suppressed for a specified number of bars (Cooldown Bars).
This prevents back-to-back signals in choppy conditions and ensures each trap has breathing room before the next.
Confirmed on Close
Signals only trigger once the bar has closed (barstate.isconfirmed), eliminating “ghost” signals that flash intrabar and then vanish.
Chart Labels & Alerts
When a trap is confirmed, a label (“Trap ↑” for bull, “Trap ↓” for bear) is plotted above/below the bar (toggleable via Show Trap Labels).
Built-in alertcondition calls allow users to create native TradingView alerts tied to these confirmed traps.
Inputs & Usage
Lookback Period (bars)
Defines how many bars back to compute the recent swing high/low.
Shorter values catch more frequent, smaller swings; longer values focus on larger pivots.
Show Trap Labels
Toggle on/off the on-chart label markers.
Cooldown Bars
Number of bars to wait after a trap fires before allowing the same trap type again.
Higher values reduce signal frequency; set lower if you want more frequent triggers.
Min Wick/Range %
Minimum required wick length (beyond the swing level) as a percentage of that bar’s high–low range.
Increase to filter out weak or noise-driven sweeps; decrease if you want to capture smaller reversals.
Recommended Settings & Markets
Timeframes: Works on any timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1h, daily). Adjust inputs per instrument volatility.
Crypto (e.g., BTC): Typical starting values might be Lookback = 10, Min Wick % = 0.10–0.20, Cooldown = 3–5 bars.
Equities / Indices (e.g., Nifty, Bank Nifty): Use higher Min Wick % (e.g., 0.30–0.50) and adjust volume-based filters externally. Cooldown may be 3–5 bars on daily charts.
Testing: Always backtest or visually review sample signals before live trading. Tune Lookback and Min Wick % to balance hit-rate vs. false positives.
Originality & What Makes It Different
Beyond Simple Breakout Alerts: Instead of alerting on any breakout, this indicator specifically looks for false breakouts (liquidity sweeps) where smart money may trap retail stops.
Wick-Size Threshold: Many scripts flag any high above a swing high; here, the reversal wick must be a configurable percentage of the bar’s range, filtering out minor spikes.
Cooldown Logic: Prevents repeated signals in tight ranges, unlike basic breakout or pivot indicators that may fire repeatedly.
Confirmed on Close: Eliminates intrabar flicker signals, ensuring each alert is based on a completed bar.
Lightweight & Self-Contained: No external dependencies; works standalone on the chart. Users can hook native TradingView alerts to these conditions.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the published script; no need for additional overlays.
Configure Inputs: Open settings and set:
Lookback Period to match swing size you target.
Min Wick/Range % to filter out small reversals.
Cooldown Bars so signals aren’t clustered.
Toggle Show Trap Labels on/off.
Set Alerts: In TradingView Alerts, choose “Bull Trap Detected” or “Bear Trap Detected” as the condition.
Interpret Signals:
Bull Trap: Price tried to break above a recent high but failed—potential short opportunity or exit long.
Bear Trap: Price tried to break below a recent low but failed—potential long opportunity or exit short.
Combine with Risk Management: Always apply your own stop-loss and take-profit rules; use the trap signal as one element of your trade decision.
Chart Examples & Annotations
Clean Example Chart: Display only this indicator on the chart using default inputs or example settings.
Annotation Guidance: If you include manual drawings in screenshots, clearly explain:
“Red label marks the bar where price spiked above the 10-bar swing high, closed below it with wick ≥ 10% of range, and no prior bull trap in last 5 bars → Bull Trap.”
Avoid unrelated scripts or decorative drawings that aren’t described.
Disclaimer
Not Financial Advice: Signals indicate potential reversal setups but do not guarantee outcomes. Trade at your own risk.
Use Proper Risk Management: Always define stop-loss, position size, and consider market context.
Test Before Live: Review historical signals and backtest manually or via strategy tester if possible.
