[DarkTrader] Liquidity Regression MapLinear Regression Function Reference by @RicardoSantos :
Liquidity Regression Map is an advanced indicator designed to assist traders in identifying key liquidity zones, reversals, and potential breakout areas within the market. By visualizing liquidity shifts and regression patterns, this tool provides a powerful visual guide to price movements that often go unnoticed by conventional indicators. The indicator's dynamic and adaptive approach helps traders better navigate complex market environments.
Purpose :
This indicator focuses on analyzing the behavior of liquidity in the market and mapping it out in a visual format on your TradingView charts. It provides a deeper understanding of where large clusters of liquidity exist, helping traders pinpoint potential areas where price is likely to react. It aims to highlight key liquidity zones and assess when price is likely to reverse or continue its trend, providing a comprehensive view of the market's internal structure.
Liquidity Regression Map supports multiple timeframes and multiple assets, providing traders with flexibility to analyze different market conditions. Whether you're analyzing short-term charts for scalping or higher timeframes for swing trades, the indicator adjusts its liquidity and regression calculations accordingly, ensuring accurate insights across all timeframes. Additionally, it is compatible with various asset classes, including stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, and commodities, allowing you to apply the same powerful liquidity analysis across multiple markets for a unified trading strategy.
How It Works :
The indicator identifies liquidity zones by looking at the highs and lows of recent price action within a user-defined period, known as the lookback period. These zones represent areas where market participants are likely to have placed a significant number of stop orders or large positions, creating pockets of liquidity. The zones are visualized as levels on the chart, showing where the market is likely to react.
Next, the indicator performs a linear regression analysis on the price data. Linear regression helps smooth out the price action and gives an indication of the overall trend within the defined liquidity zone. This analysis is critical for determining the slope and direction of price movement, which provides insights into the market's momentum and strength in these liquidity areas.
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to detect liquidity swipes—sharp moves in price that sweep liquidity levels. When price approaches a liquidity zone and crosses it aggressively, the indicator highlights this as a swipe. Swipes often signal significant price reversals or trend continuation because they indicate that liquidity has been absorbed. The Akastra Liquidity Regression Map highlights these areas, helping traders anticipate where a reversal or continuation may occur.
As new price data comes in, the liquidity zones and regression lines dynamically adjust. This real-time update ensures that traders are always working with the most relevant and up-to-date liquidity information. The indicator recalculates the liquidity levels based on the recent highs and lows and repositions the regression lines accordingly. This makes it adaptive to both short-term volatility and long-term trends.
To make the analysis intuitive and easy to interpret, the liquidity levels are color-coded based on their strength and importance. Liquidity zones are shown using a gradient of colors, from weak liquidity (indicating potential minor reactions) to strong liquidity (where a significant price reaction is more likely). The heatmap visually communicates how liquidity is distributed across different levels and timeframes.
Liquidity Condition Filtering :
Another important aspect of the mechanism is the liquidity condition filtering, which only highlights significant liquidity shifts. The indicator evaluates if price movement meets certain thresholds, such as exceeding a 1.618 threshold for liquidity absorption or rejection . This filtering ensures that only the most relevant and impactful liquidity conditions are displayed, minimizing noise and false signals on the chart.
Finally, the indicator calculates and displays liquidity levels across multiple timeframes simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive view. For example, liquidity from a higher timeframe may interact with liquidity from a lower timeframe, providing traders with an overlapping view of where significant liquidity is concentrated. This multi-layer analysis helps to confirm trading setups and increases the probability of successful trades.
Pivot points and levels
[DarkTrader] Range Level ProbabilityThis indicator calculates and visualizes significant price levels, such as swing highs, swing lows, and mid-price levels, using advanced mathematical functions and statistical methods. It aims to provide traders with insights into potential support and resistance areas by analyzing past price swings and their statistical properties.
Usage :
Identifying Support and Resistance: The projected swing high and swing low levels can act as potential support and resistance zones. Traders can use these levels to anticipate where the price might reverse or experience a pause in its movement.
Trend Analysis: By analyzing the mid-price level and its relationship to the swing high and low, traders can gain insights into the current market trend and potential price direction.
Customizing for Different Periods: Traders can adjust the input parameters, such as the period for calculating the mean and standard deviation, to tailor the indicator to different timeframes and market conditions.
Enhancing Trading Decisions: The indicator provides additional context for trading decisions by combining statistical analysis with visual projections, helping traders make more informed choices and manage risk effectively.
Key Features :
Statistical Analysis: The indicator utilizes statistical techniques to estimate the probability of future price movements. It calculates the likelihood of price reaching certain levels based on historical data, providing a probabilistic view of potential price targets.
Dynamic Range Calculation: It dynamically calculates important price levels based on a defined period. This period is adjustable, allowing traders to customize the indicator to fit different market conditions and trading strategies.
Customizable Appearance: Traders can customize the colors of the projected lines and labels, making it easier to distinguish between different levels and adjust the visual representation to their preferences.
Real-Time Updates: The indicator updates in real time with each new price bar, ensuring that the projected levels reflect the most current market conditions.
The indicator projects key price levels on the chart, including :
Swing High: The highest price level within a specified period.
Swing Low: The lowest price level within the same period.
Mid-Price: The average price between the swing high and swing low.
These levels are drawn as horizontal lines on the chart, extending into the future, which helps traders anticipate potential support and resistance zones.
[DarkTrader] Dynamic Level ProjectionThis indicator designed to enhance market analysis by projecting key price levels based on recent highs and lows. This script stands out by offering unique dynamic projections that are tailored to the latest market conditions, making it a valuable tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
Level Projection uses proprietary methods to dynamically project levels above and below recent price extremes. It employs two distinct scaling methods—Short Multiply (SM) and Long Multiply (LM)—to calculate these levels. The SM method is used to project resistance levels above recent highs, while the LM method projects support levels below recent lows. This approach ensures that the projected levels are responsive to current market trends and volatility.
How It Works :
The indicator analyzes recent market data to determine the highest and lowest prices over a customizable lookback period. Using the OHLC Lookback parameter, traders can set the duration for which these extreme prices are calculated. Based on these extremes, the indicator projects additional levels using the defined scaling methods. The result is a series of levels that help identify potential support and resistance zones in real time.
Customization Options :
Level Parameter: Defines the lengths for different projected levels.
OHLC Resolution: Selects the timeframe for OHLC data used in calculations.
Box Padding / Height: Controls the visual spacing of the projected levels on the chart.
Start Color and Extend Color: Customize the colors of the projected levels for better visual differentiation.
Real-Time Updates :
The indicator is designed to update in real-time, recalculating and redrawing levels with each new bar. This ensures that traders always see the most current projections and can make timely decisions based on the latest market data.
How to Use :
Traders should apply the indicator to their charts and customize the parameters according to their trading strategy. The projected levels will help in identifying potential support and resistance zones, which can be used to make informed trading decisions and manage risk effectively.
OrderFlow [Adjustable] | FractalystWhat's the indicator's purpose and functionality?
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying real-time probabilities of buyside and sellside liquidity .
It allows for an adjustable pivot level , enabling traders to customize the level they want to use for their entries.
By doing so, traders can evaluate whether their chosen entry point would yield a positive expected value over a large sample size, optimizing their strategy for long-term profitability.
For advanced traders looking to enhance their analysis, the indicator supports the incorporation of up to 7 higher timeframe biases .
Additionally, the higher timeframe pivot level can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences,
Offering maximum adaptability to different strategies and needs, further helping to maximize positive EV.
EV=(P(Win)×R(Win))−(P(Loss)×R(Loss))
-----
What's the purpose of these levels? What are the underlying calculations?
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Pivot levels.
3. Identifying Discount and Premium Zones.
4. Importance of Risk-Reward in Premium and Discount Ranges
----
How does the script calculate probabilities?
The script calculates the probability of each liquidity level individually. Here's the breakdown:
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into pivot level level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once pivot level is tapped into, the pivot status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
4. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the multi-timeframe functionality offer?
In the adjustable version of the orderflow indicator, you can incorporate up to 7 higher timeframe probabilities directly into the table.
This feature allows you to analyze the probabilities of buyside and sellside liquidity across multiple timeframes, without the need to manually switch between them.
By viewing these higher timeframe probabilities in one place, traders can spot larger market trends and refine their entries and exits with a better understanding of the overall market context.
This multi-timeframe functionality helps traders:
1. Simplify decision-making by offering a comprehensive view of multiple timeframes at once.
2. Identify confluence between timeframes, enhancing the confidence in trade setups.
3. Adapt strategies more effectively, as the higher timeframe pivot levels can be customized to meet individual preferences and goals.
----
What are the multi-timeframe underlying calculations?
The script uses the same calculations (mentioned above) and uses security function to request the data such as price levels, bar time, probabilities and booleans from the user-input timeframe.
----
How does the Indicator Identifies Positive Expected Values?
OrderFlow indicator instantly calculates whether a trade setup has the potential for positive expected value (EV) in the long run.
To determine a positive EV setup, the indicator uses the formula:
EV=(P(Win)×R(Win))−(P(Loss)×R(Loss))
where:
P(Win) is the probability of a winning trade.
R(Win) is the reward or return for a winning trade, determined by the current risk-to-reward ratio (RR).
P(Loss) is the probability of a losing trade.
R(Loss) is the loss incurred per losing trade, typically assumed to be -1.
By calculating these values based on historical data and the current trading setup, the indicator helps you understand whether your trade has a positive expected value over a large sample size.
----
How can I know that the setup I'm going to trade with has a postive EV?
If the indicator detects that the adjusted pivot and buy/sell side probabilities have generated positive expected value (EV) in historical data, the risk-to-reward (RR) label within the range box will be colored blue and red .
If the setup does not produce positive EV, the RR label will appear gray.
This indicates that even the risk-to-reward ratio is greater than 1:1, the setup is not likely to yield a positive EV because, according to historical data, the number of losses outweighs the number of wins relative to the RR gain per winning trade.
----
What is the confidence level in the indicator, and how is it determined?
The confidence level in the indicator reflects the reliability of the probabilities calculated based on historical data. It is determined by the sample size of the probabilities used in the calculations. A larger sample size generally increases the confidence level, indicating that the probabilities are more reliable and consistent with past performance.
----
How does the confidence level affect the risk-to-reward (RR) label?
The confidence level (★) is visually represented alongside the probability label. A higher confidence level indicates that the probabilities used to determine the RR label are based on a larger and more reliable sample size.
----
How can traders use the confidence level to make better trading decisions?
Traders can use the confidence level to gauge the reliability of the probabilities and expected value (EV) calculations provided by the indicator. A confidence level above 95% is considered statistically significant and indicates that the historical data supporting the probabilities is robust. This high confidence level suggests that the probabilities are reliable and that the indicator’s recommendations are more likely to be accurate.
In data science and statistics, a confidence level above 95% generally means that there is less than a 5% chance that the observed results are due to random variation. This threshold is widely accepted in research and industry as a marker of statistical significance. Studies such as those published in the Journal of Statistical Software and the American Statistical Association support this threshold, emphasizing that a confidence level above 95% provides a strong assurance of data reliability and validity.
Conversely, a confidence level below 95% indicates that the sample size may be insufficient and that the data might be less reliable . In such cases, traders should approach the indicator’s recommendations with caution and consider additional factors or further analysis before making trading decisions.
----
How does the sample size affect the confidence level, and how does it relate to my TradingView plan?
The sample size for calculating the confidence level is directly influenced by the amount of historical data available on your charts. A larger sample size typically leads to more reliable probabilities and higher confidence levels.
Here’s how the TradingView plans affect your data access:
Essential Plan
The Essential Plan provides basic data access with a limited amount of historical data. This can lead to smaller sample sizes and lower confidence levels, which may weaken the robustness of your probability calculations. Suitable for casual traders who do not require extensive historical analysis.
Plus Plan
The Plus Plan offers more historical data than the Essential Plan, allowing for larger sample sizes and more accurate confidence levels. This enhancement improves the reliability of indicator calculations. This plan is ideal for more active traders looking to refine their strategies with better data.
Premium Plan
The Premium Plan grants access to extensive historical data, enabling the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. This plan provides the most reliable data for accurate calculations, with up to 20,000 historical bars available for analysis. It is designed for serious traders who need comprehensive data for in-depth market analysis.
PRO+ Plans
The PRO+ Plans offer the most extensive historical data, allowing for the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. These plans are tailored for professional traders who require advanced features and significant historical data to support their trading strategies effectively.
For many traders, the Premium Plan offers a good balance of affordability and sufficient sample size for accurate confidence levels.

What is the HTF probability table and how does it work?
The HTF (Higher Time Frame) probability table is a feature that allows you to view buy and sellside probabilities and their status from timeframes higher than your current chart timeframe.
Here’s how it works:
Data Request : The table requests and retrieves data from user-defined higher timeframes (HTFs) that you select.
Probability Display: It displays the buy and sellside probabilities for each of these HTFs, providing insights into the likelihood of price movements based on higher timeframe data.
Detailed Tooltips: The table includes detailed tooltips for each timeframe, offering additional context and explanations to help you understand the data better.
----
What do the different colors in the HTF probability table indicate?
The colors in the HTF probability table provide visual cues about the expected value (EV) of trading setups based on higher timeframe probabilities:
Blue: Suggests that entering a long position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting buyside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Red: Indicates that entering a short position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting sellside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Gray: Shows that neither long nor short trades from the HTF user-defined pivot point are expected to generate positive EV, suggesting that trading these setups may not be favorable.
----
How to use the indicator effectively?
For Amateur Traders:
Start Simple: Begin by focusing on one timeframe at a time with the pivot level set to the default (50%). This helps you understand the basic functionality of the indicator.
Entry and Exit Strategy: Focus on entering trades at the pivot level while targeting the higher probability side for take profit and the lower probability side for stop loss.
Use simulation or paper trading to practice this strategy.
Adjustments: Once you have a solid understanding of how the indicator works, you can start adjusting the pivot level to other values that suit your strategy.
Ensure that the RR labels are colored (blue or red) to indicate positive EV setups before executing trades.
For Advanced Traders:
1. Select Higher Timeframe Bias: Choose a higher timeframe (HTF) as your main bias. Start with the default pivot level and ensure the confidence level is above 95% to validate the probabilities.
2. Align Lower Timeframes: Switch between lower timeframes to identify which ones align with your predefined HTF bias. This helps in synchronizing your trading decisions across different timeframes.
3. Set Entries with Current Pivot Level: Use the current pivot level for trade entries. Ensure the HTF status label is active, indicating that the probabilities are valid and in play.
4. Target HTF Liquidity Level: Aim for liquidity levels that correspond to the higher timeframe, as these levels are likely to offer better trading opportunities.
5. Adjust Pivot Levels: As you gain experience, adjust the pivot levels to further optimize your strategy for high EV. Fine-tune these levels based on the aggregated data from multiple timeframes.
6. Practice on Paper Trading: Test your strategies through paper trading to eliminate discretion and refine your approach without financial risk.
7. Focus on Trade Management: Ultimately, effective trade management is crucial. Concentrate on managing your trades well to ensure long-term success. By aiming for setups that produce positive EV, you can position yourself similarly to how a casino operates.
----
🎲 Becoming the House (Gaining Edge Over the Market):
In American roulette, the house has a 5.26% edge due to the 0 and 00. This means that while players have a 47.37% chance of winning on even-money bets, the true odds are 50%. The discrepancy between the true odds and the payout ensures that, statistically, the casino will win over time.
From the Trader's Perspective: In trading, you gain an edge by focusing on setups with positive expected value (EV). If you have a 55.48% chance of winning with a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, your setup has a higher probability of profitability than the losing side. By consistently targeting such setups and managing your trades effectively, you create a statistical advantage, similar to the casino’s edge.
----
🎰 Applying the Concept to Trading:
Just as casinos rely on their mathematical edge, you can achieve long-term success in trading by focusing on setups with positive EV. By ensuring that your probabilities and risk-to-reward (RR) ratios are in your favor, you create an edge similar to that of the house.
And by systematically targeting trades with favorable probabilities and managing your trades effectively, you improve your chances of profitability over the long run. Which is going to help you “become the house” in your trading, leveraging statistical advantages to enhance your overall performance.

Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
🔵 Settings
🟣 CISD Logical settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
🟣 SFP Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 CISD Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 SFP Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🔵 Conclusion
CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.
Pivot Data [QuantVue]The Pivot Data Indicator is designed to provide traders with valuable insights by identifying and analyzing pivot points on the price chart. It calculates both pivot highs and lows, then presents detailed statistics on the distance and time between these pivots.
a pivot point is defined as a specific point on the chart where the price either reaches a high or a low, with no bars higher or lower than it for a set number of bars on both sides (left and right). Essentially, it's a local high or low point, with the market moving in the opposite direction after the pivot forms.
For example:
A pivot high occurs when there are no bars with higher prices for a specified number of bars before and after that point.
A pivot low occurs when there are no bars with lower prices for the same number of bars on either side.
The number of bars to the left and right is adjustable via the Pivot Lookback Bars setting, allowing you to define how many bars are used to determine these pivot points.
Key features include:
Pivot Highs and Lows Identification: Automatically marks significant pivot highs and lows based on a user-defined lookback period, helping traders identify potential trend reversals or continuation points.
Prediction Labels: Provides forecasted pivot levels based on historical pivot price and time patterns, with options to show predictions for pivot highs, lows, or any pivot point.
Customizable Table Display: Displays a table summarizing important statistics, such as the average price percentage and the number of bars between pivots, along with the distance and time from the most recent pivot.
Traders can use this tool to map out potential levels of support and resistance based on historical data on pivot points.

How to Use the Indicator:
Inputs and Settings:
1. **Lookback Period**: Defines how many bars back the indicator will consider for detecting support and resistance levels. You can adjust this depending on how much historical data you want to include. A larger value will capture more significant levels, while a smaller value focuses on more recent price action.
2. **Pivot Strength**: This setting determines how significant a high or low must be to qualify as a pivot. A higher pivot strength will capture stronger, more critical levels, while a lower value will detect more frequent, minor pivots.
3. **Max Levels Above/Below Price**: This controls the maximum number of support and resistance levels displayed on each side of the current price. Keeping this number low helps reduce clutter and focuses on the most important levels.
4. **Timeframe for Support/Resistance Detection**: Select the timeframe used for detecting support and resistance levels, which can differ from the chart's timeframe. This is helpful when you're trading on shorter timeframes but want to see key levels from a higher timeframe (e.g., detecting daily levels while trading intraday).
---
Visualization:
- **Green Lines**: Represent support levels below the current price. These are potential areas where buying interest may increase, and the price could bounce upwards.
- **Red Lines**: Represent resistance levels above the current price. These are potential areas where selling interest may increase, and the price could fall downwards.
---
Example Usage:
1. **Identifying Support and Resistance Zones**: Use this indicator to identify critical support and resistance zones. These are areas where the price has historically reversed or paused, making them ideal for setting entry, exit, stop-loss, or take-profit levels.
2. **Trend Analysis**: By observing which side of the current price the majority of lines are on (more red or more green), traders can gauge whether the market is facing more resistance or support, helping them align with the current trend.
3. **Timeframe Flexibility**: You can choose to detect support and resistance levels from higher timeframes (e.g., Daily or Weekly) while trading on lower timeframes (e.g., 15-minute or 1-hour charts). This gives you a macro-level view of key price levels while executing trades on the micro-level.
---
Recommendations:
- **Swing Traders**: Use this indicator with a larger lookback period and higher pivot strength to capture major long-term support and resistance levels.
- **Scalpers and Intraday Traders**: Use shorter lookback periods and lower pivot strengths to detect key levels within a shorter timeframe.
By customizing the inputs and tailoring them to your trading style, this indicator can provide valuable insights into price levels where significant buying or selling activity is likely to occur, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
CRT IndicatorCandle Range Trading (CRT) Indicator
The CRT Indicator identifies potential trading opportunities by analyzing specific candlestick patterns. This script is designed to detect both bullish and bearish CRT patterns and provides visual cues directly on your chart.
Features:
Pattern Detection:
Analyzes two consecutive candles to identify the CRT pattern.
Detects both bullish and bearish setups based on the relative positions of the candles.
How It Works:
Bearish CRT Pattern:
The script identifies a bearish CRT when:
The first candle is bullish (closing price is higher than the opening price).
The second candle is bearish (closing price is lower than the opening price).
The second candle’s high exceeds the high of the first candle.
The closing price of the second candle falls within the range of the first candle.
Bullish CRT Pattern:
The script identifies a bullish CRT when:
The first candle is bearish (closing price is lower than the opening price).
The second candle is bullish (closing price is higher than the opening price).
The second candle’s low is below the low of the first candle.
The closing price of the second candle falls within the range of the first candle.
Visual Signals:
A red triangle is plotted above the candles for a bearish CRT pattern.
A green triangle is plotted below the candles for a bullish CRT pattern.
How to Use:
Monitor the chart for the appearance of red and green triangles.
Green triangles suggest potential bullish movements.
Red triangles suggest potential bearish movements.
Use these signals as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and combine with other technical indicators for best results.
Settings:
This indicator operates with default settings for detecting CRT patterns and does not include customizable parameters.
Limitations:
The CRT Indicator is based on two consecutive candles and does not account for broader market trends or other indicators.
Be aware that false signals may occur in volatile or choppy market conditions.
The indicator does not provide entry points, profit targets, or stop loss levels, which should be managed based on individual risk tolerance and strategy.
Note: The CRT Indicator is for informational purposes only and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management. Always test any strategy thoroughly before applying it to live trading.
SMCL - Trend Change StructuresSMCL Indicator - Detailed Functionality
The SMCL (Structure Market Change Levels) indicator is designed to help traders visually detect and analyze changes in market structure. It focuses on identifying key pivot points and possible trend reversals by marking Change of Character (CHoCH) signals and calculating important levels like Premium and Discount zones.
Key Features:
Bullish and Bearish Structure Detection: Marks key trend changes on the chart using price pivots, with options to display only bullish or bearish structures.
Premium and Discount Zones Visualization: Identifies areas where the price may be in an overbought (Premium) or oversold (Discount) zone.
Win Rate Calculation: Calculates and displays the win rate on the chart to help you assess the indicator's effectiveness in real-time.
Full Customization: Adjust the colors of the structures and Premium/Discount zones to match your analysis style.
How to Use:
Bullish Structures: Look for CHoCH labels above recent highs indicating a potential shift to an uptrend.
Bearish Structures: Watch for CHoCH labels below recent lows indicating a potential shift to a downtrend.
Premium/Discount Levels: Use these zones to identify potential overbought or oversold conditions, ideal for planning entries or exits.
Win Rate: Monitor the win rate to gauge the reliability of the indicator over time.
This indicator is ideal for both intraday traders and swing traders looking for a simple yet powerful tool to identify market trend changes. Try it out and improve your trading decisions!
Technical Details:
1. Inputs:
Structure Period (prd): Defines the lookback period for detecting significant highs and lows (pivots). A higher period will consider a broader price range, identifying more prominent structures.
Response Period (resp): Determines how reactive the indicator is to recent price movements, affecting how quickly new structures are identified.
Show Bullish Structure (bull): A toggle to display bullish (uptrend) market structures on the chart.
Show Bearish Structure (bear): A toggle to display bearish (downtrend) market structures on the chart.
Show Premium & Discount (showPD): When enabled, the indicator will draw Premium (overbought) and Discount (oversold) levels on the chart.
2. Colors:
Bullish Color (bullColor): The color used to highlight bullish market structures.
Bearish Color (bearColor): The color used to highlight bearish market structures.
Premium Color (premColor): The color used to display the Premium (overbought) level.
Discount Color (discColor): The color used to display the Discount (oversold) level.
3. Structure Detection:
High and Low Pivot Points (Up, Dn): The indicator continuously tracks the highest and lowest prices over the specified structure period (prd). These pivot points are used to identify potential trend changes.
Change of Character (CHoCH) Detection:
When a new high is detected (Up > previous Up), it signifies a potential bullish trend change. A label with "CHoCH" is placed on the chart, if bullish structures are enabled.
Similarly, when a new low is detected (Dn < previous Dn), it signifies a potential bearish trend change. A "CHoCH" label is placed if bearish structures are enabled.
4. Premium & Discount Levels:
Premium Level (PremiumTop): Calculated as 10% below the detected high pivot. It represents a zone where the price may be considered overbought, suggesting a possible reversal or pullback.
Discount Level (DiscountTop): Calculated as 10% above the detected low pivot. It represents a zone where the price may be considered oversold, suggesting a possible buying opportunity.
These levels are drawn on the chart if the showPD option is enabled, helping traders visually assess the market's condition.
5. Probability Calculation:
Win Rate Calculation (WinRate): The indicator tracks the number of times the market structure changes from bullish to bearish and vice versa. It calculates the win rate as the ratio of bullish to bearish changes, providing insight into the strength of the detected structures.
This win rate is displayed on the chart in the latest bar, giving a real-time assessment of the indicator's performance.
6. Display Options:
The indicator offers full customization of colors and visibility for different components, allowing traders to tailor the visuals to their preferences.
Labels and lines are drawn with a 50% opacity by default, making them less intrusive while still visible on the chart.

Volume on levels @gauranshgVolume on Levels @gauranshg is a powerful Pine Script designed to visualize trading volume across price levels directly on the chart. This script allows users to observe volume intensity, offering a clearer perspective on price action and potential support/resistance areas. By utilizing a dynamic, customizable multiplier, the volume is normalized and displayed in proportion, ensuring better scalability across various timeframes and assets.
Usage:
Normalization of Volume: Users can input a multiplier to adjust the normalization of volume. This is useful when analyzing assets with differing price and volume ranges.
Input of 1 means 1 Million volume will be marked with green color of opacity 1 and 2 Million as 2 and so on. In case you are looking at chart with very high volume, you might want to increase the multiplies
Default multiplier is set to 1, and can be customized for different scales.
Volume Visualization: The volume is displayed on the chart as background boxes behind price levels, with the opacity of the boxes changing based on the normalized volume. This helps to quickly visualize areas of high and low trading activity.
This script is ideal for investors who wish to enhance their volume analysis by visualizing it directly on price levels in a clear, normalized format.
MM Day Trader LevelsAs an intraday trader, there are certain key levels that I care about for short-term price action on every single chart. When I first began day trading, each morning I would painstakingly mark those key levels off on the charts I planned to trade each day. Depending on the number of charts I was watching, this would take up quite a bit of my time that I felt would have been much better spent doing other things. It also meant that those levels would often be left behind, and on later days I might be trading a symbol and get confused when a line appeared and I'd be paying attention to it only to later discover that it wasn't from prior day, but from some other day in the past when I had marked it off.
I looked all over TradingView to find indicators that did this automatically for me, and I found a lot of them. One by one I tried them, and inevitably I would always find that something was wrong with them. Often they didn't have all of the levels I wanted (so I would have to combine multiple indicators), but more often I found that the levels would be incorrect, or they would be buggy and not appear consistently, or they would not appear at the right time, or they would not work on futures! The list of problems went on and on. And the biggest issue I found was that nobody knew how to get session volume profile in an indicator.
So, over the course of a few years I figured out how to solve all of those problems and now I'm thrilled to present this free indicator for everyone like me who trades intraday and wants a clean consistent way to see the prior day levels that they care about automatically on every single chart (even futures). The levels the indicator provides are:
Yesterday High & Low
Value Area High & Low & Point of Control
Today's Open
Yesterday's Close (aka "Settlement" on futures)
Premarket High & Low (non-futures only)
Overnight High & Low (futures only)
These levels are extremely important, and I expect price to be reactive to them, so each level has a shaded background behind it so that the levels stand out against other lines you may have on your chart. I try to keep configuration as simple as possible, but there are configuration options that allow you to:
Hide any of the levels
Change the color for the levels
Shade the value area (or not)
Change the label text, size, type (basic label or plain text) and location (how far to the right of last candle to place the label
Adjust session volume profile value area volume & number of rows
The biggest advantage to this indicator over others on TradingView is how it handles session volume profile. When it comes to futures, TradingView does differentiate between regular trading hours and "electronic" trading hours on the charts, but their timeframes for those sessions are unusual, and they do not provide any programmatic way to differentiate between them. So, I created a whole new library for dealing with futures sessions that is fully integrated into both my Session Volume Profile library and this indicator, allowing me to bring you the best and only custom indicator available on TradingView that provides you with true regular session volume profile information across every type of symbol, including futures.
I'm incredibly proud of everything I've been able to provide with this indicator, and even more thrilled to say that I'm proud of how the indicator has been implemented. Once again releasing this indicator and all associated code for free and open source. I encourage you to take a look at the source code to see how it all works, take advantage of the free underlying libraries I created to make all of this possible: Session Library and Session Volume Profile Library.
QQQ and SPY Price Levels [MW]Introduction:
Don’t let SPY and QQQ resistance levels hurt your futures trading anymore. The QQQ and SPY Price Levels indicator automagically provides easily accessible QQQ price levels for NASDAQ-related charts such as QQQ, /NQ and /MNQ futures, and leveraged ETFs such as TQQQ and SQQQ as well as for SPY price levels for S&P 500-related charts such as SPY, /ES and /MES futures, SPX, and leveraged ETFs such as UPRO and SPXU. If you’ve ever traded futures, or anything QQQ- or SPY-related and wanted to know at what price would the corresponding asset reach a key whole number level of QQQ or SPY, like 400, 440, 445, or even 447.50, this tool is for you. Key 10x, 5x, and even 2.5x multiples of QQQ and SPY can act as support or resistance for other related-assets. Until now, there hasn’t been an indicator that can serve as an easy visual cue to know exactly when that is about to happen across assets.
This indicator is a fork of the original SPY Price Levels indicator, which only considered SPY-related assets.
Settings:
QQQ/SPY 2.5x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 2.5 on QQQ
QQQ/SPY 5x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 5 on QQQ
QQQ/SPY 10x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 10 on QQQ
Show QQQ/SPY Price Label: Show the current QQQ/SPY price
Extend lines to the left: Extend label lines for each price level to the beginning of the chart
Calculations:
This indicator defines the ratio between the price of QQQ/SPY and another NASDAQ/S&P-related asset and uses that multiplier once the user-defined price increments are defined. For example, if /MNQ is at 19000 and QQQ is at 465, then the ratio would be 40.8.
The incremental QQQ levels that are above and below the QQQ price are calculated using the following equations:
qqqLevelUp = _multiplier * math.ceil(_qqqClose / _multiplier)
qqqLevelDown = _multiplier * math.floor(_qqqClose / _multiplier)
The conversion ratio is then multiplied by that amount to get the final estimated corresponding price using the calculation:
levelUp := _conversion * qqqLevelUp
levelDown := _conversion * qqqLevelDown
For leveraged assets, the conversion must be used on the difference between the current QQQ price and the incremental upper and lower levels.
For example, the calculation for the next level up looks like the following:
levelUpDelta := math.abs(_qqqClose - qqqLevelUp)
levelUp := close + _conversion * (levelUpDelta * _leverage)
This logic is identical for SPY-related assets.
How to Use:
The QQQ and SPY Price Levels indicator aims to be as unobtrusive as possible. The default view shows 3 labels and 2 lines that are all aligned to the right of the main chart, so that it interferes as little as possible with any other indicators. It can be added to any /NQ or /MNQ futures chart, SQQQ, TQQQ, and, of course, QQQ as well as any /ES /MES futures chart, SPXU, UPRO, SPX, and of course SPY. The most immediate price levels for each multiplier appears above and below the current price along with the price of QQQ/SPY.
For example, MNQU2024 is currently at 19594. By looking at the indicator the next QQQ increment below is at 475, or 19556 on the MNQU2024 chart. This potential support is marked with a green label that shows both prices. The next increment above is at QQQ 477.50, or 19659 on the MESU2024 chart. And the QQQ price itself, is also shown (and can be removed) at 475.92.
QQQ and SPY price increments of 2.5, 5, and 10 tend to consistently act at the very least as emotional support and resistance levels. Weak, or weakening volume and/or momentum when these levels are hit can trigger a strong rejection, and can sometimes precipitate lengthy consolidation periods at those levels. Watching an NASDAQ- and S&P 500-related asset come to a halt, fall off a cliff, or react in some other unintuitive way could very well be the result of a QQQ/SPY level being reached. Even though many of us know that this relationship exists, it’s easy to forget. So, this indicator helps to ensure that its users keep that relationship front and center.
By extending the lines into the past on QQQ/SPY and their related assets, you can see what reactions happened at these key levels.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations:
The calculations used only provide an estimated relationship or a close approximation, and are not exact.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
AutoPilot | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
The AutoPilot indicator automates the management of your active trades by:
Breaks Even: Moves the stop-loss to the entry price once the trade reaches a 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Closes Trades: Automatically exits trades when trailing stop-losses are triggered.
This automation is facilitated through PineConnector and TradingView webhook integration, allowing traders to manage multiple positions across various markets effortlessly without any manual intervention.
----
How does this indicator trail stop-loss using market structure?
The AutoPilot indicator utilizes an advanced market structure trailing stop-loss mechanism to manage trades based on market dynamics and probabilities.
Here's how it works:
Market Structure Identification: The indicator first identifies key market structures such as higher highs, lower lows.
These structures are pivotal points where the market has shown a change in direction or momentum.
Probability-Based Trailing: Once a trade is active, the stop-loss isn't just set at a fixed distance or percentage but is dynamically adjusted based on the probability of the market structure holding or breaking.
This involves:
Trend Continuation Probability: If the market structure suggests a strong trend continuation (e.g., a series of higher highs in an uptrend), the stop-loss might trail closer to the price, but with a buffer calculated by the probability of the trend continuing versus reversing.
Reversal Probability: Conversely, if there's a high probability of a trend reversal based on recent market structures (like a significant lower high in an uptrend), the stop-loss might be adjusted to a point where the market structure would need to break to confirm the reversal, thus protecting potential profits or minimizing losses.
Dynamic Adjustment: The trailing stop-loss adjusts in real-time as new market structures form. For instance, if a new higher high is formed in an uptrend, the stop-loss might move up but not necessarily to the exact previous swing low. Instead, it's placed at a level where the probability of the next swing low not breaking this level is high, based on historical price action.
Risk Management: By using market structure and probabilities, the indicator aims to balance between giving the trade room to breathe (allowing for normal market fluctuations) and tightening the stop-loss when the market behavior suggests a potential trend change or continuation with high confidence.
This approach ensures that the stop-loss isn't just a static or simple trailing mechanism but a sophisticated tool that adapts to the evolving market conditions, aiming to maximize profit while minimizing the risk of being stopped out prematurely due to market noise.
----
How are the probabilities calculated? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability is designed to enhance trade management by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out low/high probability conditions.
This helps in identifying optimal trailing points where the likelihood of a price continuation is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the automation table display?
The automation table in the AutoPilot indicator provides a summary of user-defined settings crucial for automated trade management through PineConnector and TradingView integration. It displays:
PineConnector License ID: This ensures that the indicator is linked to your specific PineConnector account, allowing for personalized and secure automation of your trades.
Order Type (Buy/Sell): Indicates whether the automation is set for buying or selling, which is essential for correctly executing your trading strategy.
Chosen Symbol: Specifies the trading pair or symbol in your broker's platform where the trade management commands (like closing orders) will be executed. This ensures that the automation targets the correct market or asset.
Risk Per Trade: Shows the percentage or amount of your capital you're willing to risk on each trade, helping you maintain consistent risk management across different trades.
Comment: A field for you to input notes or identifiers, particularly useful when trading across multiple markets or instruments. This helps in tracking and managing trades across different assets or strategies.
Comment: A field for you to input identifiers, particularly useful when trading across multiple timeframes or different enries.
Allowing users to manage specific comments for each previously taken entry, facilitating precise management of multiple trades with unique identifiers.
This table serves as a quick reference for your current settings, ensuring you're always aware of how your trades are being managed automatically before any adjustments are made or alerts are triggered.
----
How to use the indicator?
To use the AutoPilot indicator:
Purchase a License ID: Acquire a license ID from PineConnector.
Setup PineConnector EA: Install and configure the PineConnector Expert Advisor on your MetaTrader platform.
Input Settings: Enter your PineConnector license ID, choose the order type, set your risk per trade, add the order comment, and select the trading symbol in the indicator's settings.
Create Alert: Right-click on the automation table, and set up an alert with the provided webhook to connect with PineConnector.
Automatic Management: Once set, your active trades will be automatically managed according to the alert conditions you've set.
This setup ensures your trades are managed seamlessly without constant manual intervention.
----
What makes this indicator original?
Integration with PineConnector: The AutoPilot indicator's originality lies in its integration with PineConnector, which allows for real-time trade management directly from TradingView to your MetaTrader platform. This setup is unique as it combines the analytical capabilities of TradingView with the execution capabilities of MetaTrader through a custom indicator, providing a seamless bridge between analysis and action.
Market Structure-Based Trailing Stop-Loss: Unlike many indicators that might use fixed percentages or ATR (Average True Range) for stop-loss adjustments, the AutoPilot indicator uses market structure (higher highs, lower lows) to dynamically adjust the stop-loss.
Probability-Based Adjustments: The indicator doesn't just trail stop-losses based on price but incorporates the probability of market structure holding or breaking. This probability-based trailing mechanism is innovative, aiming to balance between giving trades room to breathe and tightening when market behavior suggests a potential reversal or continuation.
Customizable Automation Table: The automation table within the indicator allows for detailed customization, including setting specific comments for trades. This feature, while perhaps not unique in concept, is original in its implementation within trading indicators, providing users with a high degree of control and personalization over trade management.
Real-Time Trade Management Alerts: The ability to set up alerts directly from the indicator to manage trades in real-time via webhooks to PineConnector adds a layer of automation that's not commonly found in standard trading indicators. This real-time connection for trade management enhances its originality by reducing the lag between analysis and trade execution.
User-Centric Design: The design of the AutoPilot indicator focuses heavily on user interaction, allowing for inputs like risk per trade, specific order types, and comments. This user-centric approach, where the indicator adapts to the trader's strategy rather than the trader adapting to the tool, sets it apart.
External Integration for Enhanced Functionality: By leveraging external services like PineConnector for execution, the indicator extends its functionality beyond what's typically possible within TradingView alone, making it original in its ecosystem integration for trading purposes.
Practical Implication: This means if you're in a trade and the market structure suggests the trend is continuing (e.g., making higher highs in an uptrend), your stop-loss might trail closer to the price but not too close to avoid being stopped out by normal fluctuations. If the structure breaks (e.g., a lower high in an uptrend), the stop-loss could adjust more aggressively to protect profits or minimize losses, anticipating a potential trend change.
This combination of features creates an original tool that not only analyzes market conditions but actively manages trades based on sophisticated market structure analysis.

Ultra High/LowThe Ultra High/Low script helps traders track key price levels by automatically marking significant highs and lows on a chart, highlighting potential reversal points for future trading decisions.
Introduction
The Ultra High/Low script identifies and marks significant highs and lows on a trading chart. These are specific points where the price reached a peak or bottomed out before reversing. The script draws lines at these levels, which can be extended, and it also labels the exact price at these points. This makes it easy for traders to see where the price has changed direction previously, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
Detailed Description
In more detail, the Ultra High/Low script is designed using Pine Script™, a programming language used for creating custom indicators and strategies on the TradingView platform. Here's how it works:
..........
Detection of Pivot Highs and Lows
The script identifies "pivot highs" and "pivot lows." These are points on the chart where the price reached a local maximum or minimum, surrounded by lower highs (for pivot highs) or higher lows (for pivot lows).
The user can customize how many bars to the left and right of the high or low the script should consider to confirm a pivot (Length argument in the settings).
The script uses Pine Script functions for pivot detection. ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() .
......
Drawing Lines and Labels
Once a pivot is identified, the script draws a dashed line from the pivot point to the current price bar. This line helps visualize where significant price reversals have occurred.
The script also adds a label next to these lines showing the exact price of the pivot point. This label also shows "PDH" (Previous Day High) or "PDL" (Previous Day Low) if the pivot is PDH or PDL. Same for "PWH" (Previous Week High) and "PWL" (Previous Week Low).
......
Purging and Extending Lines
If the price crosses a pivot line after it has been drawn, the script can either delete the old line (purged line) or keep it and add additional indicators to show that the line has been liquidated.
The script also has options to extend the lines into the right.
......
Custom Inputs
The script offers several customizable options, like the color of the lines and labels, whether to show the exact price or not, and whether to extend the lines. This allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific needs and preferences.
..........
Overall, the Ultra High/Low script is a powerful visual aid for identifying critical price levels that may influence future price movements, making it easier for traders to make decisions based on historical price behavior.
ICT Unicorn | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Unicorn Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Unicorn" strategy. The strategy uses Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Unicorn Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Unicorn Strategy
Toggleable Retracement Entry Method
3 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Unicorn entry model merges the concepts of Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), offering a distinct method for identifying trade opportunities. By integrating these two elements, we can have a position entry with stop-loss and take-profit targets on the potential support & resistance zones. This model is particularly reliable for trade entry, as it combines two powerful entry techniques.
An ICT Unicorn Model consists of a FVG which is overlapping with a Breaker Block of the same type. Here is an example :
When a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type, the indicator gives a Buy or Sell signal depending on the FVG type (Bullish & Bearish). If the "Require Retracement" option is enabled in the settings, the signals are not given immediately. Instead, the current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the signals are given.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Unicorn concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order & breaker blocks.
Require Retracement ->
a) Disabled : The entry signal is given immediately once a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type.
b) Enabled : The current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the entry signal is given.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Unicorn : This is the default option. The SL will be set to the lowest low of the last 100 bars with an extra offset in a Buy signal. For Sell signals, the SL will be set to the highest high of the last 100 bars with an extra offset. The TP is then set to a value using the SL value and maintaining a risk-reward ratio.
b) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
c) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

Understanding the Indicator
1. Dynamic Resistance and Support Levels using swing H/Ls
Purpose: This indicator identifies significant swing highs and lows, which are key levels for potential price reversals or continuation.
Parameters:
Swing Length: Number of bars used to confirm swing highs and lows.
How It Works: The Swing High/Low Levels are plotted based on past price action, marking the areas where the price has previously reversed, helping traders set their stop-loss or take-profit levels.
2. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Purpose: VWAP provides the average price weighted by volume over a specified period. It is widely used by traders to identify the true average price of a security.
How It Works: VWAP is plotted as a line on the chart, which helps in understanding the price direction in relation to the day's volume-weighted average price.
3. ATR Stop Loss
Purpose: The ATR Stop Loss dynamically adjusts stop-loss levels based on the market’s volatility, calculated through the ATR.
Parameters:
ATR Period: Number of periods over which ATR is calculated.
Multiplier: Factor that determines the distance of the stop-loss from the current price.
How It Works: This indicator adjusts the stop-loss level to protect against large market swings, moving closer or further away based on the ATR value.
4. Moving Average (MA)
Purpose: The Moving Average smooths price data to help identify trends and reversals. It is useful for understanding the overall market direction.
Parameters:
MA Source: Data source for the Moving Average calculation (e.g., Close price).
MA Length: The number of periods used to calculate the Moving Average.
MA Smoothing: The type of smoothing applied, such as SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA.
5. SuperTrend
Purpose: SuperTrend is a trend-following indicator that helps traders identify the prevailing market trend and potential entry/exit points.
Parameters:
Factor: The multiplier applied to the ATR (Average True Range) for calculating the SuperTrend bands.
ATR Period: The number of periods used for calculating the ATR.
How It Works: The SuperTrend line acts as a support or resistance level. A price above the SuperTrend line indicates a bullish trend, while a price below it indicates a bearish trend.
Points of InterestIndicator for displaying a timed, intraday Range of Price as a Point of Interest (POI) that you may want to track when trading as a potential magnet for price. Quite often you will see Price return to prior days price range before continuing to move. This enables you to track specific portions of a Days Trading session to see what has been revisited and what has not yet been re traded to.
The range is tracked for each trading day between the times that you specify in the Inputs ‘POI Time’ parameter You can also set the Time zone of the Range.
It will mark the Range High and Low for the timed range with lines that can be optionally extended and can be customised in terms of colour, style and width.
It will also Plot a line showing the Equilibrium of the range which is 50% from the High to the Low point of price during the time window that you specified in the ‘POI Time’ Parameter. This can also be customised in terms of visibility, colour, style and width.
You can control an optional Label for the POI Equilibrium Line to include a combination of a user defined prefix, the Date that the POI Equilibrium Line’s range is from and the Price Level of the Equilibrium Line. The colour and size of the label is also configurable
This indicator will also track when a POI Equilibrium Line has been traded to or ‘Tapped’. The tracking can be started after a configurable number of minutes have elapsed from the end of the POI Time window. This can also be customised in terms of visibility, colour, style, extended toggle and width.
Optionally Taps of the POI Equilibrium Level can be counted as valid during specific time windows or session of the day - for example only count taps during New York Morning Trading session.
The indicator uses Lower Time Frame data to compute the Range and 50% / Equilibrium Level so will work accurately on Chart Timeframes up to and including Daily with The POI Time specified down to a Minute resolution.
Fibonacci Levels for Recent CandlesThis Pine Script indicator calculates and plots 17 predefined Fibonacci retracement levels based on the high and low of a user-defined number of previous candles. The levels are drawn on the chart for the most recent candles, as specified by the user, allowing traders to see how these historical Fibonacci levels align with the current price action.
