Candle Range Theory StrategyCandle Range Theory StrategyCandle Range Theory Strategy delves into the intricacies of price action analysis, focusing on the behavior of candlestick patterns within specific ranges. Traders employing this strategy aim to identify key support and resistance levels by analyzing the high and low points of significant candlesticks. The core principle lies in understanding that the range of a candle—defined by its opening, closing, high, and low prices—provides valuable insight into market sentiment and potential future movements.
To implement the Candle Range Theory Strategy effectively, one must first recognize the importance of different candle sizes. A long-bodied candle suggests strong momentum, pointing to a bullish or bearish bias, while a small-bodied candle indicates indecision or consolidation, often signaling potential reversals or breakouts. By plotting these candlesticks over a defined time frame, traders can ascertain whether the market is trending or range-bound.
Additionally, traders should consider the context in which these candles form. Analysis of the preceding price action can reveal whether current ranges are extensions of existing trends or indications of market fatigue. In particular, look for patterns such as engulfing candles, pin bars, or inside bars, as they often foreshadow forthcoming price fluctuations.
Moreover, combining the Candle Range Theory with other technical indicators, like moving averages or Fibonacci retracements, can offer a more comprehensive view of potential entry and exit points. By aligning candle patterns with broader market dynamics, traders can optimize their strategies, enhancing their probability of success while minimizing risk.
Lastly, maintaining a disciplined approach is crucial. Setting precise stop-loss and take-profit levels grounded in candle ranges can safeguard one's capital. Adhering to this framework allows traders to navigate the complexities of the market with greater confidence, ultimately leading to more informed and successful trading decisions. Embracing the nuances of Candle Range Theory not only sharpens analytical skills but also enriches one’s trading repertoire, paving the way for sustained profitability in the dynamic world of forex and equities.
Indicators and strategies
Advanced 1-Minute Open Range Breakout IndicatorThis indicator is designed for the market on a 1-minute chart. It calculates the open range based on the first 5 minutes after the market open (09:30 – 09:35) and plots the high and low of this period as the daily resistance and support levels respectively. Additionally, the indicator displays the previous day’s high and low as blue horizontal lines, providing extra reference levels.
Trade signals are generated only during the active trading session (09:35 – 16:00). The advanced trade logic works as follows:
• For long entries:
- When the price first breaks above the open range high, the indicator enters a “breakout” state.
- If the price then retraces to (or below) the open range high, it moves to a “retest” state.
- Finally, if the price breaks above the open range high again, a long signal is issued.
• For short entries:
- When the price first breaks below the open range low, the indicator enters a “breakdown” state.
- If the price then retraces to (or above) the open range low, it moves to a “retest” state.
- Finally, if the price breaks below the open range low again, a short signal is issued.
All signals and the open range lines are only displayed during the trading session (09:35 to 16:00).
Use this indicator to help identify high-probability breakout setups in the early part of the trading day.
smolka Bayesian Volatile ChannelDescription in English and Russian.
Bayesian Volatile Channel
The script is a loose interpretation of Bayes' theorem, which allows calculating the probability of events given that another event related to it has occurred, the script analyzes volatility and detects anomalies in price charts using a Bayesian approach, updating the model parameters to accurately estimate market fluctuations and detect changes in trends.
How does it work?
1. The script sets the initial parameters (mean price and standard deviation), creating a "hypothesis" about the market behavior.
2. When a new price appears, the script calculates the probability of its compliance with previous expectations. If the new price differs from the forecast, the model parameters (mean and standard deviation) are updated.
3. After updating the model, the probability that the current price and volatility correspond to a normal distribution is calculated.
4. Based on the updated model, volatility channels are built (mean price ± two standard deviations). If the price goes beyond these limits, this signals a possible anomaly indicating changes in the market.
5. The moving averages in the script act as data smoothing and trend analysis, helping to identify the market direction and minimize the impact of random fluctuations. The script uses moving averages to identify uptrends and downtrends, and calculates the average between them to display the overall market balance. These moving averages make market analysis clearer and more resistant to short-term fluctuations.

Описание на английском и русском языках.
Байесовский волатильный канал
Скрипт является вольной интерпретацией теоремы Байеса, которая позволяет расчитать вероятность событий при условии, что произошло связанное с ним другое событие, скрипт анализирует волатильность и обнаруживает аномалии в графиках цен, используя байесовский подход, обновляя параметры модели для точной оценки рыночных колебаний и обнаружения изменений в тенденциях.
Как это работает?
1. Скрипт устанавливает начальные параметры (среднюю цену и стандартное отклонение), создавая "гипотезу" о поведении рынка.
2. При появлении новой цены скрипт вычисляет вероятность её соответствия предыдущим ожиданиям. Если новая цена отличается от прогноза, параметры модели (среднее и стандартное отклонение) обновляются.
3. После обновления модели рассчитывается вероятность того, что текущая цена и волатильность соответствуют нормальному распределению.
4. На основе обновлённой модели строятся каналы волатильности (средняя цена ± два стандартных отклонения). Если цена выходит за эти пределы, это сигнализирует о возможной аномалии, указывающей на изменения на рынке.
5. Средние скользящие в скрипте выполняют роль сглаживания данных и анализа трендов, помогая выявить направление рынка и минимизировать влияние случайных колебаний. Скрипт использует скользящие средние для определения восходящего и нисходящего трендов, а также рассчитывает среднее значение между ними для отображения общего баланса рынка. Эти скользящие средние делают анализ рынка более чётким и устойчивым к краткосрочным флуктуациям.
PullBack_Level_HunterThis script creates an "Auto Fibonacci" indicator that automatically plots selected Fibonacci retracement levels on a chart, based on a defined lookback period. Users can choose from various Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, or 0.786) via a dropdown input, allowing for quick adjustments to analysis.
**Key Features:**
1. **Fibonacci Level Selection:** Users can select from multiple Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786) for analysis.
2. **Lookback Period:** The script allows users to define a lookback period to determine the highest high and the lowest low for plotting Fibonacci levels.
3. **Fibonacci Level Calculation:** The Fibonacci levels are calculated using two functions:
- `fib_level`: Calculates the Fibonacci level based on the highest high and lowest low of the lookback period.
- `fib_level_from_current`: Calculates the Fibonacci level from the current candle’s high.
4. **Plotting:** The script plots the selected Fibonacci level on the chart, using a red line for the general Fibonacci level and a blue line for the level calculated from the current high.
5. **Dynamic Visualization:** The Fibonacci levels are drawn as step lines to clearly visualize price levels based on historical data and current price action.
This tool is ideal for traders who wish to quickly assess key Fibonacci levels for potential support or resistance within a customizable lookback period.
RSI XTR with selective candle color by Edwin KThis tradingView indicator named "RSI XTR with selective candle color", which modifies the candle colors on the chart based on RSI (Relative Strength Index) conditions. Here's how it works:
- rsiPeriod: Defines the RSI calculation period (default = 5).
- rsiOverbought: RSI level considered overbought (default = 70).
- rsiOversold: RSI level considered oversold (default = 30).
- These values can be modified by the user in the settings.
RSI Calculation
- Computes the RSI value using the ta.rsi() function on the closing price (close).
- The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes.
Conditions for Candle Coloring
- when the RSI is above the overbought level.
- when the RSI is below the oversold level.
How It Works in Practice
- When the RSI is above 70 (overbought) → Candles turn red.
- When the RSI is below 30 (oversold) → Candles turn green.
- If the RSI is between 30 and 70, the candle keeps its default color.
This helps traders quickly spot potential reversal zones based on RSI momentum.

ICT Concepts: MML, Order Blocks, FVG, OTECore ICT Trading Concepts
These strategies are designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing institutional order flow and market psychology.
1. Market Maker Liquidity (MML) / Liquidity Pools
Idea: Institutional traders ("market makers") place orders around key price levels where retail traders’ stop losses cluster (e.g., above swing highs or below swing lows).
Application: Look for "liquidity grabs" where price briefly spikes to these levels before reversing.
Example: If price breaks a recent high but reverses sharply, it may indicate a liquidity grab to trigger retail stops before a trend reversal.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Idea: Institutional orders are often concentrated in specific price zones ("order blocks") where large buy/sell decisions occurred.
Application: Identify bullish order blocks (strong buying zones) or bearish order blocks (strong selling zones) on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H/4H charts).
Example: A bullish order block forms after a strong rally; price often retests this zone later as support.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Idea: A price imbalance occurs when candles gap without overlapping, creating an area of "unfair" price that the market often revisits.
Application: Trade the retracement to fill the FVG. A bullish FVG acts as support, and a bearish FVG acts as resistance.
Example: Three consecutive candles create a gap; price later returns to fill this gap, offering a entry point.
4. Time-Based Analysis (NY Session, London Kill Zones)
Idea: Institutional activity peaks during specific times (e.g., 7 AM – 11 AM New York time).
Application: Focus on trades during high-liquidity periods when banks and hedge funds are active.
Example: The "London Kill Zone" (2 AM – 5 AM EST) often sees volatility due to European market openings.
5. Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)
Idea: A retracement level (similar to Fibonacci retracement) where institutions re-enter trends after a pullback.
Application: Look for 62–79% retracements in a trend to align with institutional accumulation/distribution zones.
Example: In an uptrend, price retraces 70% before resuming upward—enter long here.
6. Stop Hunts
Idea: Institutions manipulate price to trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction.
Application: Avoid placing stops at obvious levels (e.g., above/below recent swings). Instead, use wider stops or wait for confirmation.
LRLR [TakingProphets]LRLR (Low Resistance Liquidity Run) Indicator
This indicator identifies potential liquidity runs in areas of low resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It specifically looks for a series of unmitigated swing highs in a downtrend that form without any bearish fair value gaps (FVGs) between them.
What is an LRLR?
- A Low Resistance Liquidity Run occurs when price creates a series of lower highs without any bearish fair value gaps in between
- The absence of bearish FVGs indicates there is no significant resistance in the area
- These formations often become targets for smart money to collect liquidity above the swing highs
How to Use the Indicator:
1. The indicator will draw a diagonal line connecting a series of qualifying swing highs
2. A small "LRLR" label appears to mark the pattern
3. These areas often become targets for future price moves, as they represent zones of accumulated liquidity with minimal resistance
Key Points:
- Minimum of 4 consecutive lower swing highs
- No bearish fair value gaps can exist between these swing highs
- The diagonal line helps visualize the liquidity run formation
- Can be used for trade planning and identifying potential reversal zones
Settings:
- Show Labels: Toggle the "LRLR" label visibility
- LRLR Line Color: Customize the appearance of the diagonal line
Best Practices:
1. Use in conjunction with other ICT concepts and market structure analysis
2. Pay attention to how price reacts when returning to these levels
3. Consider these areas as potential targets for smart money liquidity grabs
4. Most effective when used on higher timeframes (4H and above)
Note: This is an educational tool and should be used as part of a complete trading strategy, not in isolation.

CCI Buy and Sell Signals with 20/30 EMACCI Buy and Sell Signals with EMA and ATR Stop Loss/Take Profit
This indicator is designed to identify buy and sell signals based on a combination of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). It also includes an optional ATR-based stop loss and take profit system, which is useful for traders who want to manage their trades with dynamic risk levels.
Features:
CCI Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when the CCI crosses up through -100 (from an oversold condition), the 20-period EMA is above the 30-period EMA, and the price is above the 200-period EMA. This suggests that the market is entering an upward trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is triggered when the CCI crosses down through +100 (from an overbought condition), the 20-period EMA is below the 30-period EMA, and the price is below the 200-period EMA. This suggests that the market is entering a downward trend.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The script plots three EMAs:
20-period EMA (Green): Used to identify short-term trends.
30-period EMA (Red): Used to capture medium-term trends.
200-period EMA (Orange): A long-term trend filter, with the price above it generally indicating bullish conditions and below it indicating bearish conditions.
ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Optional Feature: The ATR (Average True Range) indicator can be used to set stop loss and take profit levels based on market volatility.
Stop Loss: Set at a multiple of the ATR below the entry price for long positions and above the entry price for short positions.
Take Profit: Set at a multiple of the ATR above the entry price for long positions and below the entry price for short positions.
Customizable: You can adjust the ATR length, Stop Loss Multiplier, and Take Profit Multiplier through the settings.
Dots: The stop loss and take profit levels are plotted as dots on the chart when the ATR feature is enabled.
Alert Conditions:
Buy Signal Alert: Triggered when a buy signal occurs based on CCI crossing up -100 and other conditions being met.
Sell Signal Alert: Triggered when a sell signal occurs based on CCI crossing down +100 and other conditions being met.
Any Signal Alert: This is a combined alert that triggers for either a buy or sell signal. It helps you stay updated on both types of signals simultaneously.
How to Use:
The indicator will plot buy and sell arrows on the chart, giving clear entry points for trades based on CCI and EMA conditions.
The ATR stop loss and take profit dots (when enabled) provide automatic risk management levels, adjusting dynamically with market volatility.
Traders can customize the ATR settings to fine-tune their stop loss and take profit levels, making this strategy adaptable to different trading styles and market conditions.

EMA & Bollinger BandsThis indicator combines three main functionalities into a single script:
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
- Purpose: Calculates and plots the EMA of a chosen price source.
- Inputs:
- EMA Length: The period for the EMA calculation.
- EMA Source: The price series (such as close) used for the EMA.
- EMA Offset: Allows shifting the EMA line left or right on the chart.
- Output: A blue-colored EMA line plotted on the chart.
2. Smoothing MA on EMA:
- Purpose: Applies a secondary moving average (MA) on the previously calculated EMA. There is also an option to overlay Bollinger Bands on this smoothed MA.
- Inputs:
- Smoothing MA Type: Options include "None", "SMA", "SMA + Bollinger Bands", "EMA", "SMMA (RMA)", "WMA", and "VWMA".
- Selecting "None" disables this feature.
- Choosing "SMA + Bollinger Bands" will additionally plot Bollinger Bands around the smoothed MA.
- Smoothing MA Length: The period used to calculate the smoothing MA.
- BB StdDev for Smoothing MA: The standard deviation multiplier for the Bollinger Bands (applies only when "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected).
- Calculation Details:
- The chosen MA type is applied to the EMA value.
- If Bollinger Bands are enabled, the script computes the standard deviation of the EMA over the smoothing period, multiplies it by the specified multiplier, and then plots an upper and lower band around the smoothing MA.
- Output:
- A yellow-colored smoothing MA line.
- Optionally, green-colored upper and lower Bollinger Bands with a filled background if the "SMA + Bollinger Bands" option is selected.
3. Bollinger Bands on Price:
- Purpose: Independently calculates and plots traditional Bollinger Bands based on a moving average of a selected price source.
- Inputs:
- BB Length: The period for calculating the moving average that serves as the basis of the Bollinger Bands.
- BB Basis MA Type: The type of moving average to use (options include SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, and VWMA).
- BB Source: The price series (such as close) used for the Bollinger Bands calculation.
- BB StdDev: The multiplier for the standard deviation used to calculate the upper and lower bands.
- BB Offset: Allows shifting the Bollinger Bands left or right on the chart.
- Calculation Details:
- The script computes a basis line using the selected MA type on the chosen price source.
- The standard deviation of the price over the specified period is then multiplied by the provided multiplier to determine the distance for the upper and lower bands.
- Output:
- A basis line (typically drawn in a blue tone), an upper band (red), and a lower band (teal).
- The area between the upper and lower bands is filled with a semi-transparent blue background for easier visualization.
---
How It Works Together
- Integration:
The script is divided into clearly labeled sections for each functionality. All parts are drawn on the same chart (overlay mode enabled), providing a comprehensive view of market trends.
- Customization:
Users can adjust parameters for the EMA, the smoothing MA (and its optional Bollinger Bands), as well as the traditional Bollinger Bands independently. This allows for flexible customization depending on the trader's strategy or visual preference.
- Utility:
Combining these three analyses into one indicator enables traders to view:
- The immediate trend via the EMA.
- A secondary smoothed trend that might help reduce noise.
- A volatility measure through Bollinger Bands on both the price and the smoothed EMA.
---
This combined indicator is useful for technical analysis by providing both trend-following (EMA and smoothing MA) and volatility indicators (Bollinger Bands) in one streamlined tool.

Cypto Oscillator with Sortino-like VolatilityEnhanced Inverted Ultimate Oscillator with Sortino-like Volatility
This indicator combines the power of the Ultimate Oscillator with a unique Sortino-like volatility calculation to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. It's designed to help traders identify potential turning points and assess the risk associated with price movements.
**Core Components:**
* **Ultimate Oscillator (UO):** The UO is a momentum indicator that incorporates short, medium, and long-term price action to identify overbought and oversold conditions. This indicator inverts and normalizes the UO to a 0-10 scale, providing a clear view of momentum shifts.
* **Sortino-like Volatility:** Instead of a standard deviation, this indicator uses a downside deviation calculation. This focuses specifically on *negative* price movements, offering a more relevant measure of risk for most traders. By not penalizing upside volatility, it avoids giving false signals during strong bull runs. The downside deviation is scaled as a percentage of the closing price for cross-asset comparability.
* **Volatility Signal:** The inverted UO is multiplied by the downside deviation to create a combined volatility signal. This signal reflects both momentum and downside risk, providing a more nuanced market perspective.
**Key Features and Uses:**
* **Identifying Potential Turning Points:** Divergences between the UO and price action can signal potential trend reversals. Look for the UO to make higher lows while price makes lower lows (bullish divergence) or the UO to make lower highs while price makes higher highs (bearish divergence).
* **Assessing Downside Risk:** The Sortino-like volatility component helps traders gauge the potential for downside price swings. Higher volatility suggests greater risk.
* **Dynamic Volatility Thresholds:** The indicator includes adjustable upper and lower volatility thresholds, based on a moving average of the volatility signal. These thresholds can be used to identify periods of unusually high or low volatility.
* **Customizable Lookback Periods:** Traders can adjust the lookback periods for the UO and the standard deviation calculation to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions.
* **Visualizations:** The indicator provides several visual aids, including:
* A histogram of the volatility signal, colored dynamically based on its relationship to the moving average of volatility. Red indicates volatility above the upper bound, orange between the bounds and green below the lower bound.
* A line plot of the volatility signal.
* An optional moving average of the volatility signal.
* Optional upper and lower volatility threshold lines with a filled range for visual clarity.
* **Alerts:** The indicator includes alert conditions for when the volatility signal crosses above the upper threshold (high volatility) or below the lower threshold (low volatility).
**How to Use:**
1. **Inputs:** Adjust the input parameters to optimize the indicator for your chosen asset and timeframe.
2. **Divergences:** Look for divergences between the UO and price to identify potential trend reversals.
3. **Volatility:** Use the volatility signal and thresholds to assess downside risk.
4. **Alerts:** Enable alerts to be notified of high or low volatility events.
**Disclaimer:** This indicator is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Always conduct your own thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

True Liquidity BlocksSo basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens.
Key Concept:
Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions
Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference
What Makes This Different:
Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames
Identifies "trapped" trader positions
Measures liquidity level efficiency
Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone
Indicator Features:
Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure
Efficiency tracking for each level
Dynamic volume-based segmentation
Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone
Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where:
Positions create potential energy
Price movement resolves this energy
Trends form through systematic position liquidation
VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment:
Segment Start:
VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached
Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation
Weighted by volume traded during that segment
Calculation Method:
pineCopy = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1)
hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices
na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment
Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals
Key Points:
Dynamic recalculation each segment
Reflects most recent trading activity
Provides real-time fair price reference
Tracks positioning
Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained:
When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps:
BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit)
SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Core Mechanism:
VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning
Trapped positions create inherent market tension
Levels expand to show accumulating pressure
Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction
The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement.
It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it.
Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.
Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.

🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.

E9 MM Nuke signalScript identifies wickless candles on a specified higher timeframe and plots them on a lower timeframe (If desired), such as 15 minutes. It includes options to adjust the margin for error (e.g. 5 tick wick), higher timeframe, and toggle the volume filter with period adjustment.
Wickless candles signal strong market sentiment shifts, indicating areas of significant buying or selling pressure. These areas can become key levels of support or resistance, making them crucial to monitor for potential price revisits.
Why Price Revisits Wickless Areas
Manipulators often create artificial wickless candles to deceive traders. However, genuine market movements can also produce wickless candles, indicating a strong consensus among market participants. In either case, the price is likely to revisit these areas as traders and investors react to the perceived market sentiment shift.
Key Features:
Margin Input:
Description: Allows users to specify the margin in 0.01 tick increments to account for small wicks due to spread issues.
Example: A margin of 0.05 ticks means the script will consider candles wickless if the high is within 0.05 ticks of the open and the low is within 0.05 ticks of the open.
Volume Filter:
Description: Users can enable or disable a volume filter to consider only candles with a volume greater than the average volume over a specified period.
Default: Enabled by default.
Volume Period Input: Users can specify the period for calculating the average volume (e.g., 9 periods).
Higher Timeframe Input:
Description: Allows users to select the higher timeframe on which to identify wickless candles.
Options: H4 ("240"), Daily ("D"), Weekly ("W"), Monthly ("M").
Plotting:
Bearish Wickless Candles: Plotted with a red circle and a "🐻" emoji above the bar.
Bullish Wickless Candles: Plotted with a green circle and a "🐂" emoji below the bar.
