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
🔔 Alert Support:
Sweep High / Low Alert
Long / Short Signal Alert
Modified Fractal Open/CloseModified Fractal (Open/Close Based) - Indicator
The Modified Fractal (Open/Close Based) indicator offers a new way to detect fractal patterns on your chart by analyzing the open and close prices instead of the traditional high and low values.
🧮 How it works:
The indicator evaluates a group of 5 consecutive candles.
The central candle (2 bars ago) is analyzed.
For a Bullish Fractal:
The open or close of the central candle must be lower than the open and close of the other 4 surrounding candles.
For a Bearish Fractal:
The open or close of the central candle must be higher than the open and close of the other 4 surrounding candles.
Once a valid pattern is detected, a visual symbol (triangle) is plotted directly on the chart and an alert can be triggered.
✅ Key Features:
Non-repainting signals (evaluated after candle close)
Fully mechanical detection logic
Easy-to-use visual signals
Alert conditions ready to be integrated into TradingView’s alert system
Suitable for multiple timeframes (can be used from M1 to Daily and beyond)
🎯 Use case:
This modified fractal approach can help traders:
Spot potential swing points
Identify possible reversals
Confirm price exhaustion zones
Support breakout or mean reversion strategies
⚠ Note:
This indicator does not provide trade signals by itself. It is recommended to be combined with additional tools, price action analysis, or risk management rules.
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.
MSTR vs BTCUSD % Movement ComparisonThe indicator, in its current form, is a custom Pine Script (version 6) tool named "MSTR vs BTCUSD % Movement Comparison" that visually compares the percentage price movements of MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Bitcoin (BTCUSD) over a user-defined lookback period. It plots the difference in their percentage changes (diff_pct = mstr_pct - btcusd_pct) as a line, with a zero line for reference, and uses green/red coloring to indicate whether MSTR is outperforming (green, above zero) or underperforming (red, below zero) BTCUSD. The area between the difference line and zero line is filled with semi-transparent green or red for clarity. Additionally, an adjustable-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the percentage difference smooths the trend, helping identify momentum shifts. The indicator is fixed to compare MSTR and BTCUSD, ensuring consistent output regardless of the chart’s active symbol (e.g., MSTR, MTPLF, or others).
Key Features:
Percentage Difference: Shows MSTR’s percentage change minus BTCUSD’s, highlighting relative performance.
Zero Line: A gray solid line at 0 for reference.
Color Coding: Green line/fill when MSTR outperforms, red when it underperforms.
Adjustable EMA: User-defined EMA period (default: 26) smooths the percentage difference.
Fixed Comparison: Always compares MSTR vs. BTCUSD, unaffected by the chart’s symbol.
User Inputs: Lookback period (default: 50 bars) and EMA period (default: 26) are customizable.
Example: On a 1-hour chart, if MSTR rises 4% and BTCUSD rises 1% over 50 bars, the difference line plots at +3 (green) with green fill, and the 26-period EMA might be at +2.2, indicating MSTR’s outperformance trend.
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.

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.

5DMA Optional HMA Entry📈 5DMA Optional HMA Entry Signal – Precision-Based Momentum Trigger
Category: Trend-Following / Reversal Timing / Entry Optimization
🔍 Overview:
The 5DMA Optional HMA Entry indicator is a refined price-action entry tool built for traders who rely on clean trend alignment and precise timing. This script identifies breakout-style entry points when price gains upward momentum relative to short-term moving averages — specifically the 5-day Simple Moving Average (5DMA) and an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Whether you're swing trading stocks, scalping ETFs like UVXY or VXX, or looking for pullback recovery entries, this tool helps time your long entries with clarity and flexibility.
⚙️ Core Logic:
Primary Condition (Always On):
🔹 Close must be above the 5DMA – ensuring upward short-term momentum is confirmed.
Optional Condition (Toggled by User):
🔹 Close above the HMA – adds slope-responsive trend filtering for smoother setups. Enable or disable via checkbox.
Bonus Entry Filter (Optional):
🔹 Green Candle Wick Breakout – optional pattern logic that detects bullish momentum when the high pierces above both MAs, with a green body.
Reset Mechanism:
🔁 Signal resets only after price closes back below all active MAs (5DMA and HMA if enabled), reducing noise and avoiding repeated signals during chop.
🧠 Why This Works:
This indicator captures the kind of setups that professional traders look for:
Momentum crossovers without chasing late.
Mean reversion snapbacks that align with fresh bullish moves.
Avoids premature entries by requiring clear structure above moving averages.
Optional HMA filter allows adaptability: turn it off during choppy markets or range conditions, and on during trending environments.
🔔 Features:
✅ Adjustable HMA Length
✅ Enable/Disable HMA Filter
✅ Optional Green Wick Breakout Detection
✅ Visual “Buy” label plotted below qualifying bars
✅ Real-time Alert Conditions for automated trading or manual alerts
🎯 Use Cases:
VIX-based ETFs (e.g., UVXY, VXX): Catch early breakouts aligned with volatility spikes.
Growth Stocks: Time pullback entries during bullish runs.
Futures/Indices: Combine with macro levels for intraday scalps or swing setups.
Overlay on Trend Filters: Combine with RSI, MACD, or VWAP for confirmation.
🛠️ Recommended Settings:
For smooth setups in volatile names, use:
HMA Length: 20
Keep green wick filter ON
For fast momentum trades, disable the HMA filter to act on 5DMA alone.
⭐ Final Thoughts:
This script is built to serve both systematic traders and discretionary scalpers who want actionable signals without noise or lag. The toggleable HMA feature lets you adjust sensitivity depending on market conditions — a key edge in adapting to volatility cycles.
Perfect for those who value clean, non-repainting entries rooted in logical structure.
cd_cisd_market_CxHi Traders,
Overview:
Many traders follow market structure to identify the market direction and seek trade opportunities in line with the trend.
However, markings derived from user-defined inputs can create different structures, depending on personal choices. For instance, choosing a pivot distance of 3 instead of 2 alters the structure, even though the chart remains the same. Ideally, the structure should remain consistent.
"Change in State Delivery" ( CISD ) is a widely accepted concept among traders and is considered a significant indicator of market direction based on the gain/loss of CISD levels.
In this indicator, CISD is selected as the primary criterion for marking market structure, eliminating the influence of user-dependent variations.
Here is a summary of the key logic and rules applied:
• When the price forms a new high/low, that level is only considered a pivot if a CISD has occurred.
• A bullish CISD is always followed by a bearish CISD, and vice versa.
• Pivot points form the internal structure.
• The internal structure is used to interpret the swing structure.
• Probabilities are derived from internal structure patterns.
________________________________________
Details:
How is CISD determined?
As is commonly known:
• When price makes a new high, the opening level of the first candle in the consecutive bullish candle sequence is marked.
• When price makes a new low, the opening of the first candle in the consecutive bearish sequence is marked.
• If there’s only one candle in the sequence, its opening level is used.
In a bullish market, losing a bearish CISD level (i.e., a close below it) or in a bearish market, gaining a bullish CISD level (i.e., a close above it) is interpreted as a potential shift in buyer-seller dominance and a possible market reversal.
________________________________________
How are internal (pivot) levels determined?
• When price closes below a bearish CISD level, the highest candle's high becomes a pivot high (PH).
• When price closes above a bullish CISD level, the lowest candle's low becomes a pivot low (PL).
• If the new PH is above the previous PH, it’s labeled as HH (Higher High); otherwise, LH (Lower High).
• If the new PL is below the previous PL, it’s labeled as LL (Lower Low); otherwise, HL (Higher Low).
________________________________________
Internal Market Structure:
• A series of HHs indicates a bullish internal structure.
• A series of LLs indicates a bearish internal structure.
________________________________________
Swing (Main) Market Structure:
Using internal pivots and previous swing levels, the main market structure is derived.
• A new swing high (SH) requires the price to move above the previous SH.
• A new swing low (SL) requires the price to move below the previous SL.
________________________________________
Probability Calculation:
Pivot levels forming the internal structure are coded as five-element sequences.
There are 64 possible combinations of such sequences made from consecutive PH and PL values.
Each pattern’s frequency from its starting candle is tracked.
To make it more understandable:
For example, after the four-sequence “HH, LL, LH,HL”, either HH or LH might follow.
The table shows the statistical likelihood of both possible outcomes for the most recent four-element sequence on the chart.
________________________________________
How reliable is it?
To assess reliability, results are calculated from the beginning using:
Success Rate (Suc. Rt) = Number of Correct Predictions / Total Predictions
This value is added to the table for reference.
It’s important to note that no statistical outcome guarantees certainty—every result offers a different interpretation. What truly matters is to avoid getting stopped out 😊.
________________________________________
Menu Options:
Show/hide preferences and color selections can be customized via the indicator menu.
________________________________________
What’s Coming in Future Versions?
Features such as FVG (Fair Value Gaps) between swing levels, volume imbalances, order blocks / mitigation blocks, Fibonacci levels, and relevant trade suggestions will be added.
________________________________________
This is a BETA version that I believe will help simplify your market reading. I’d be happy to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful Trading!

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

The Butterfly [theUltimator5]This is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically detect and visualize Butterfly harmonic patterns based on recent market pivot structures. This indicator uses a unique plotting and detection algorithm to find and display valid Butterfly patterns on the chart.
The indicator works in real-time and historically by identifying major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined ZigZag length. It then evaluates whether the most recent price structure conforms to the ideal proportions of a bullish or bearish Butterfly pattern. If the ratios between price legs XA, AB, BC, and projected CD meet defined tolerances, the pattern is plotted on the chart along with a projected D point for potential reversal.
Key Features:
Automatic Pivot Detection: The script analyzes recent price action to construct a ZigZag pattern, identifying swing points as potential X, A, B, and C coordinates.
Butterfly Pattern Validation: The pattern is validated against traditional Fibonacci ratios:
--AB should be approximately 78.6% of XA.
--BC must lie between 38.2% and 88.6% of AB.
--CD is projected as a multiple of BC, with user control over the ratio (e.g., 1.618–2.24).
Bullish and Bearish Recognition: The pattern logic detects both bullish and bearish Butterflies, automatically adjusting plotting direction and color themes.
Custom Ratio Tolerance: Users can define how strictly the AB/XA and BC/AB legs must adhere to ideal ratios, using a percentage-based tolerance slider.
Fallback Detection Logic: If a new pattern is not identified in recent bars, the script performs a backward search on the last four pivots to find the most recent valid pattern.
Force Mode: A toggle allows users to force the drawing of a Butterfly pattern on the most recent pivot structure, regardless of whether the ideal Fibonacci rules are satisfied.
Dynamic Visualization:
--Clear labeling of X, A, B, C, and D points.
--Colored connecting lines and filled triangles to visualize structure.
--Optional table displaying key Fibonacci ratios and how close each leg is to ideal values.
Inputs:
Length: Controls the sensitivity of the ZigZag pivots. Smaller values result in more frequent pivots.
Tolerance (%): Adjustable threshold for acceptable deviation in AB/XA and BC/AB ratios.
CD Length Multiplier: Projects point D by multiplying the BC leg using a value between 1.618 and 2.24.
Force New Pattern: Overrides validation checks to display a Butterfly structure on recent pivots regardless of ratio accuracy.
Show Table: Enables a table showing calculated ratios and deviations from the ideal.
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
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.
