NQ Hourly Connected Flat BlocksThis indicator is designed for NQ (Nasdaq-100) and high-volatility futures traders who need a clean, distraction-free view of Hourly Market Structure. Unlike standard scripts that "staircase" every time a new high is hit, this script utilizes dynamic line-object management to keep hourly levels perfectly flat and connected.
Key Features
Static In-Period Ranges: The High and Low lines for the current hour remain perfectly horizontal. If a new high is hit, the entire line for that hour shifts up, maintaining a "Block" visual rather than a jagged staircase.
Vertical Connectivity: Hours are bridged by vertical connectors at the period transitions, allowing you to visualize "Liquidity Steps" as the market expands or contracts.
Midpoint (Equilibrium) Line: Includes a dashed 50% retracement level for every hour, essential for determining if price is in a "Premium" or "Discount" zone relative to the current hour's range.
Zero Offset: Levels are pinned directly to the candles that created them, providing real-time feedback on range expansion.
How to Trade It
Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for price to wick above the Green High line and immediately reclaim the previous level. This often signals a "Stop Run" before a reversal.
The "Ladder" Trend: In strong trending environments, you will see the "Blocks" create a staircase pattern. Use the Midpoint as a trailing support/resistance level.
Volatility Contraction: When the distance between the Green and Red lines is narrow compared to previous hours, anticipate an explosive breakout.

FeraTrading Rolling Price MagnetFeraTrading Rolling Price Magnet
This indicator highlights the price zones where the market has spent the most time over a recent window of bars. Instead of using moving averages or fixed levels, it scans past price action and identifies the levels that price has interacted with most frequently, helping reveal natural areas of interest, support, or resistance.
Overview
The script looks back a user-defined number of bars and breaks the price range into small zones (bins). It then counts how often price traveled through each zone and ranks them by frequency. The most-visited levels are plotted directly on the chart as horizontal lines.
This creates a dynamic view of where the market has been spending time, rather than relying on static indicators or lagging averages.
How It Works
The indicator looks back over the last X bars.
Each candle contributes price “hits” based on the selected mode:
Full Range: Counts all price levels between the candle’s low and high.
Positive Close: Only counts upward movement for candles that closed higher than the previous close.
Negative Close: Only counts downward movement for candles that closed lower than the previous close.
Price is grouped into small zones using a configurable bin size.
The script counts how often price passes through each zone.
The top most-visited levels are plotted as horizontal lines.
Visual Behavior
Green line: Most-visited price level.
Yellow line: Second most-visited level.
Orange line: Third most-visited level.
Optional labels display how many times each level was hit.
Lines update continuously as the rolling lookback window moves forward.
Inputs
Lookback Bars: Number of past bars used to calculate levels.
Top Levels: How many price levels to display.
Hit Mode:
Full Range
Positive Close
Negative Close
Bin Size: Controls the width of each price zone (in ticks or points).
Spacing Filter: Option to only count bars that are a minimum number of bars apart.
Line Width / Label Toggle: Visual customization options.
Use Case Summary
This indicator is useful for:
Finding natural support and resistance zones.
Identifying price “acceptance” areas.
Spotting magnets where price tends to return.
It works well across intraday and swing timeframes, especially on liquid instruments where price interacts frequently with key levels.

Volume Profile S/R Zones (Peaks)Volume Profile S/R Zones (Peaks) is a volume-profile based support/resistance tool that converts significant volume nodes into tradable zones, then ranks them by how consistently price respected them over the selected lookback.
The script builds a rolling Volume Profile over a user-defined window (default 81 days) using a fixed number of price bins (default 33 rows). For each price bin it accumulates:
Total volume traded inside that price region
Bullish volume (lower-timeframe bars that close above open)
Bearish volume (implied as total − bullish)
The profile is plotted on the left side of the chart. All profile elements and zones are intentionally forced to a single clean style: white at 20% opacity (labels keep the chart’s default text color styling).
What it detects
1) High Volume Nodes (Peaks)
The script scans the profile rows and detects local maxima (HVNs). To prevent noisy “micro peaks,” a peak must pass two quality filters:
Relative-to-Max filter: peak volume must be at least a % of the largest node’s volume
Prominence filter: peak volume must exceed the average of nearby nodes by a minimum ratio
These filters remove weak nodes and keep only meaningful price areas where the market traded heavily.
2) Optional Low Volume Nodes (Troughs / LVNs)
When enabled, the script also detects local minima (LVNs). LVNs can behave like “barrier” areas where price rejects or moves quickly through.
Zones instead of lines
Each detected node becomes a zone, not a single price line.
Zone center = middle of the profile row
Zone thickness is adaptive:
Zone Half-Width = max(price bin size, ATR × fraction)
This makes zones robust to volatility and reduces “false breaks” caused by small wicks.
Zone merging (reduces clutter)
Nodes close to each other are merged into a single zone if their centers are within:
Merge Distance = ATR × fraction
The merged zone center becomes volume-weighted, so stronger nodes dominate.
Reliability scoring (the core feature)
Every zone is scored by replaying price interaction over the lookback window:
Events
Touch: candle range intersects the zone
Valid rejection: touch + close exits the zone in the expected direction
Confirmed break: close outside the zone, confirmed by:
distance beyond the zone (ATR-based), or
a minimum number of consecutive closes outside
Scoring
Touch adds points
Rejection adds more points
Confirmed break subtracts points
A decay factor is applied each bar so older interactions matter less than recent ones
This produces a practical ranking: zones that get repeatedly respected score high; zones that fail score low.
What you see on the chart
Left-side Volume Profile (white 20% opacity)
Top N strongest zones (ranked by score), drawn as horizontal bands across the chart
Right-side price labels showing each zone’s center price
Label tooltip includes:
zone center price
reliability score
current “role” (support-side vs resistance-side)
polarity bias (bull/bear/neutral based on volume delta)
Inputs and how to tune
Volume Profile
Profile Lookback (Days): defines market memory (short = tactical, long = structural)
Rows: resolution of price bins (higher = more detailed, lower = smoother)
Profile Width: visual width of the profile histogram
POC mode: optional regular or developing POC line
Zones
Top N Zones: limits clutter by plotting only the strongest zones
ATR Length / Zone Half-Width: controls how wide zones are
Prominence / Relative-to-Max: controls strictness of peak detection
Merge Distance: merges nearby zones into one
Scoring
Touch / Rejection / Break points
Decay factor (higher = longer memory)
Break confirmation settings (ATR distance + consecutive closes)
How to use (practical framework)
This indicator is designed to treat volume nodes as acceptance/rejection areas, not perfect lines:
Focus on high-score zones (they have the most recent evidence of being respected)
Use zones as:
potential accumulation/defense areas (support-side)
potential supply/ceiling areas (resistance-side)
Break confirmation is ATR-based to reduce false breakdowns/breakouts
For investing, many users run two instances:
long lookback (e.g., 252 days) for macro zones
shorter lookback (e.g., 81 days) for tactical entries
Notes / Limitations
The script is a historical structure tool, not a predictor.
Zones can shift gradually as the rolling lookback window updates.
Different assets (high volatility vs low volatility) may require different row counts and filter strictness.

ZenAlgo - ABCThis indicator identifies a three-point price structure (X, A, B) and projects proportional price levels forward from point B. It uses either automatically detected swing points or manually selected anchors and then builds a forward projection framework based on the relative movement between X and A.
1. Anchor Point Selection (X, A, B)
The script first determines three key price points that define the reference movement.
Automatic mode
When manual anchors are disabled, the indicator scans historical bars to detect local highs and lows using a fixed number of bars on the left and right side. A pivot high is confirmed only after enough future bars exist, and the same applies to pivot lows. This avoids using information that is not yet available in real time.
Detected pivots are stored in sequence:
The previous confirmed pivot becomes X
The next confirmed pivot becomes A
The most recent confirmed pivot becomes B
To avoid repeatedly using the same type of pivot, the script alternates between highs and lows. This ensures that X, A, and B always represent a swing structure instead of a flat sequence.
Manual mode
When manual anchors are enabled, the user defines three timestamps. The script captures the price and bar index at those times. After all three points are collected, the script adjusts them to represent true extremes inside their bars. Depending on direction, it replaces closes with highs or lows so that X and A form a valid swing, and B represents a corrective endpoint.
If manual anchors are incomplete, the script falls back to the automatic pivots.
2. Validation and Direction Detection
After anchors are collected, the script checks whether all three points are available. If any of them is missing, no projection is drawn.
When X, A, and B exist, the script determines the directional context:
If A is above X, the structure is treated as bullish
If A is below X, the structure is treated as bearish
The vertical distance between X and A defines the reference movement. This distance is treated as the base unit for all further projections.
This approach assumes that the impulse move from X to A represents the dominant directional leg, and that B represents a retracement or pause within that structure.
3. Projection Calculation
All projected levels are derived from the difference between X and A and are applied starting from point B.
For each predefined ratio:
In bullish structures, the distance from X to A is added upward from B
In bearish structures, the distance is subtracted downward from B
This produces a set of horizontal price levels that are proportional to the initial impulse.
No fixed price values are used. All levels scale automatically with market volatility and with the size of the X–A movement.
4. Configurable Levels and Naming
The indicator defines a list of projection ratios that represent retracement, extension, and continuation zones. Each level can be enabled or disabled and has an adjustable color and transparency.
Each level may be displayed in two ways:
As a descriptive name combined with the ratio
As a numeric ratio combined with the projected price
The naming system maps specific ratios to semantic labels such as base, entry, intermediate targets, main target, and extended continuation levels. These names are fixed in the script and reflect their relative position in the projection structure.
5. Visual Construction
On the most recent bar, the script clears all previously drawn elements and rebuilds the full structure.
It then draws:
A dashed line from X to A and from A to B to visualize the underlying swing
Labels at X, A, and B with direction-aware placement
Horizontal lines from B into the future for each enabled level
Text labels at the end of each level line
All level lines extend a configurable number of bars to the right of the current bar, creating a forward projection area.
Transparency values are fixed to maintain visual consistency and to avoid obscuring price action.
6. Zone Construction
In addition to individual lines, the script can draw shaded zones between selected pairs of levels.
These zones include:
A retracement zone between two closely spaced mid-range ratios
A target zone between the main extension levels
An extended continuation zone above or below the main target
Zones are drawn as semi-transparent rectangles from point B to the right extension limit. Their vertical boundaries are defined by the corresponding projected levels.
These zones highlight areas where price interaction with multiple proportional levels is expected.
7. Display and Update Logic
The drawing process runs only on the most recent bar. This prevents excessive historical objects and ensures that projections always reflect the latest confirmed X, A, and B.
All graphical objects are stored internally and deleted before redrawing. This avoids overlap and keeps the chart synchronized with the current structure.
8. Interpretation of Levels
The projected levels represent proportional price distances derived from the prior impulse.
They should be interpreted as:
Reference zones for potential reactions
Areas of interest for continuation or exhaustion
Context for managing existing positions
Lower ratios correspond to shallow projections near B. Higher ratios correspond to extended moves away from B.
No level represents a guaranteed support or resistance. All values are conditional on the validity of the underlying X–A–B structure.
9. Practical Usage
Typical usage follows this workflow:
Wait for the script to confirm X, A, and B
Observe whether the structure is bullish or bearish
Use projected levels as reference for planning entries, exits, and risk placement
Re-evaluate when a new pivot replaces X, A, or B
Manual anchors can be used when the user wants to enforce a specific structure that differs from the automatic pivot logic.
The indicator is designed for contextual analysis rather than standalone signal generation.
10. Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator depends on confirmed pivots. In fast or highly volatile markets, pivot confirmation can lag, which delays projections.
Structures may be invalidated when:
Price forms new extremes before a pivot is confirmed
Market conditions change abruptly
Range-bound markets produce frequent small pivots
In such conditions, projected levels may shift frequently or lose relevance.
The method assumes that past impulse size is a meaningful reference for future movement. This assumption does not hold in all market regimes.
The indicator does not incorporate volume, order flow, trend filters, or volatility regimes. It should therefore be combined with additional analysis.
11. Relationship to Manual Fibonacci and ABC Tools
Unlike standard manual Fibonacci retracement or projection tools, this indicator does not rely on subjective anchor placement. In automatic mode, swing points are selected using a fixed pivot detection process, which enforces consistent structural rules.
Anchor points are derived from confirmed price pivots instead of manual selection
The X–A–B structure is maintained automatically as new swings form
All projection levels and zones are recalculated and redrawn dynamically
This removes the need for repeated manual adjustments when market structure changes.
Compared to typical ABC projection tools, the script formalizes the entire workflow. The selection of reference points, the construction of proportional levels, and the management of graphical objects are handled programmatically. This prevents inconsistent anchor choices, reduces user interpretation bias, and ensures that projections always reflect the most recent validated structure.
The integrated zone construction further extends standard projection methods by grouping related levels into continuous price regions, rather than displaying only isolated horizontal lines.
Summary
This script identifies swing-based X–A–B structures using confirmed pivots or manual anchors, measures the impulse between X and A, and projects proportional levels from B. All displayed lines and zones are derived from this single reference movement and update dynamically as new pivots appear. The indicator provides a structured projection framework based on historical price geometry rather than predictive signals.

Liquidation Heatmap by RumiancevLiquidation Heatmap by Rumiancev
Overview
Liquidation Heatmap is an open-source visual map of estimated liquidation zones built from activity spikes .
When the script detects an unusually large spike, it projects liquidation levels for multiple leverage tiers and aggregates them into horizontal price “bins”. Each bin accumulates weight over time and is displayed as a color gradient:
• Brighter / hotter = higher accumulated weight
• Darker / colder = lower accumulated weight
Important: This is not an exchange liquidation feed and it does not display “real liquidation prices”. It is a proxy model designed to visualize where liquidation pressure could be clustering based on abnormal market activity.
Why BTCUSDT.P is recommended
For the most consistent and “liquidation-relevant” behavior, use a perpetual futures symbol such as BTCUSDT.P .
Perpetual markets provide Open Interest , so the script can use OI Delta (change in OI) as the spike stream. OI delta typically reflects leveraged positioning changes (build-up / flushes) more directly than spot volume.
• On perpetuals → OI data is available → spikes are usually cleaner for this model
• On spot → OI is not available → the script may fall back to volume, which can be noisier
If needed, set OI Symbol Override manually (examples are shown in the input tooltip).
How it works (logic)
1) Select a spike stream
• AUTO : uses OI Delta if available, otherwise Volume
• OI : forces OI Delta
• VOL : forces Volume only
2) Detect spike events
The script measures abnormal activity using a Z-score style approach on the absolute stream:
• Spike Lookback defines the baseline window
• Sensitivity maps to a threshold (lower = more events, higher = fewer events)
• Min bars between events optionally reduces clustering on lower timeframes
3) Project liquidation prices
For each spike event, liquidation estimates are calculated for up to three leverage tiers:
• Long liquidations are projected below the reference price
• Short liquidations are projected above the reference price
4) Bin, accumulate, and colorize
Projected levels are snapped into bins using Bin Scale (ticks) .
Bin weight is accumulated and displayed as a gradient between Low density and High density .
5) Freeze on touch
When price touches a bin (wick or close, depending on settings), the bin is frozen :
• it stops updating
• it becomes dotted / high transparency
This keeps a lightweight history of zones that have been interacted with.
How to read the map
• Bins below price often represent potential long-liquidation pressure zones
• Bins above price often represent potential short-liquidation pressure zones
• Brighter bins = more accumulated spike weight → potentially more crowded zone
• Frozen dotted bins = price already touched that zone (historical interaction)
Timeframes (recommendations)
This indicator runs on any timeframe, but density/noise changes significantly.
Best balance (recommended):
• 15m / 1H / 4H — good signal-to-noise and clean structure
Higher timeframes (cleaner, fewer zones):
• 12H / 1D — fewer events, more “macro” zones
Lower timeframes (noisier by nature):
• 1m / 3m / 5m — more spikes and more bins
To reduce clutter on low TF, consider:
• increasing Sensitivity (e.g., 14–18)
• enabling Min bars between events (e.g., 10–30)
• increasing Bin Scale (ticks) (thicker bins → fewer levels)
• enabling Keep only local range bins
Inputs (what each setting does)
Source
• Source Mode : AUTO / VOL / OI
• OI Symbol Override : manual OI source if AUTO is not suitable
Event (Spike) Filter
• Spike Lookback : baseline window for mean/stdev
• Sensitivity : lower = more events, higher = fewer events
• Use high/low for touch test : wick-based touches
• Min bars between events : reduces spike clustering
Liquidation Levels (bins)
• Reference Price : base price for projections (close/hl2/etc.)
• Leverage 1/2/3 : leverage tiers (set to 0 to disable any tier)
• Bin Scale (ticks) : bin thickness (bigger = fewer bins)
• Extend (bars) : how long active bins extend
• Max active bins per side : cap for active bins
• Dispersion (%) : splits part of the weight to the opposite side
• Keep only local range bins + Local range lookback : trims bins far from recent range
Visual
• Gradient colors, frozen transparency, legend, and debug marker

Clouds and Diamonds════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CLOUDS AND DIAMONDS INDICATOR
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
--------
A visual trend analysis tool displaying four moving average "clouds" on your
chart, each representing a different time horizon. Helps identify trend
direction and current trend state at a glance.
THE CLOUDS
----------
Each cloud is formed by the space between an EMA and SMA of the same period.
Color-coded by "metal" for quick timeframe identification:
Cloud | Default | Color | Purpose
------------|---------|--------|----------------------
Period 1 | 21 | Pink | Short-term trends
Period 2 | 50 | Bronze | Medium-term trends
Period 3 | 100 | Silver | Longer-term trends
Period 4 | 200 | Gold | Major long-term trends
Cloud border colors indicate trend direction:
- Green border = Bullish (EMA above SMA)
- Red border = Bearish (EMA below SMA)
THE SIGNALS
-----------
At the end of the chart, each cloud displays its current trend state:
Signal | Shape | Meaning
----------|-------|----------------------------------------
Diamond | * | Currently bullish (EMA above SMA)
X-Cross | X | Currently bearish (EMA below SMA)
Note: Markers appear only on the last bar, providing a clean summary of current
trend conditions across all timeframes. Signal sizes increase with period
length — larger signals represent longer-term trends.
HOW TO USE IT
-------------
1. Identify the trend — Look at cloud border colors. Multiple green = strong
uptrend; multiple red = downtrend.
2. Check the end-of-chart signals — Diamonds = bullish, X = bearish. Multiple
diamonds across timeframes = strong bullish alignment.
3. Weigh by timeframe — A diamond on Gold (200) carries more weight than
Pink (21). Look for multi-timeframe confirmation.
4. Gauge trend strength — Price above all clouds = strong trend. Clouds
converging or price entering them = momentum slowing.
QUICK REFERENCE
---------------
Green cloud borders Bullish trend for that timeframe
Red cloud borders Bearish trend for that timeframe
Diamond (at end) Currently bullish
X-Cross (at end) Currently bearish
Larger marker Longer-term timeframe
All diamonds Strong bullish alignment
All X-crosses Strong bearish alignment
Mixed signals Consolidation or transition

MST Medio v1.0MST Medio — 3-Phase Price Action Confirmation
MST Medio is a structured price action indicator that detects high-probability reversal entries using a 3-phase confirmation process: Break → Confirm → Retest. It waits for a confirmed Higher High / Lower Low, validates the impulse wave, then triggers only when price retests the key level.
No repainting. No lagging indicators. Pure price action logic built on swing structure.
────────────────
How It Works
Phase 1 — Break
Price forms a Higher High (HH) above the previous Swing High, or a Lower Low (LL) below the previous Swing Low. The break must pass two filters:
Break Strength — The break distance must exceed a minimum percentage of the previous swing range (configurable, default 0.25×).
Impulse Body Filter — The first candle closing beyond the old high/low must have a body ≥ 1.5× the 20-bar average body. This ensures the break is driven by momentum, not a weak drift.
The indicator then identifies the W1 impulse wave — the highest high (BUY) or lowest low (SELL) from the break candle until the first opposing candle.
Phase 2 — Confirm
After the impulse wave, price must pull back and then close beyond the W1 peak (for BUY) or below the W1 trough (for SELL). This confirms that momentum has resumed after the correction.
Invalidation rules:
Price returns to the entry level (old SH/SL) before confirmation → structure broken, cancel.
Price hits the Stop Loss level → cancel.
Phase 3 — Retest Entry
Once confirmed, the indicator waits for price to retest the original Swing High (BUY) or Swing Low (SELL). This is your entry point — buying at the old resistance turned support, or selling at the old support turned resistance.
Invalidation rules:
Price hits Stop Loss → cancel.
Price breaks below the W1 trough (BUY) or above the W1 peak (SELL) → cancel.
────────────────
Visual Elements
Entry / SL / TP lines (dashed) — Drawn at signal confirmation with labels showing levels and R:R ratio.
Risk/Reward zones — Colored boxes: red zone (Entry → SL) and green zone (Entry → TP) for instant visual assessment.
Confirm Break label — "▲ Confirm Break" / "▼ Confirm Break" at the wave confirmation candle.
Pending state — Dotted lines and phase labels ("Phase 1 BUY", "Phase 2 SELL") showing the indicator is tracking a potential setup before it triggers.
Swing markers (optional) — Small triangles at detected pivot highs and lows.
────────────────
Take Profit Logic
TP is placed at the high of the Confirm Break candle (BUY) or the low of the Confirm Break candle (SELL). This represents the point where momentum was confirmed — a natural target that aligns with the structure of the move.
────────────────
Inputs
Pivot Lookback (default: 5) — Bars left/right to confirm a swing point. Higher values = fewer but stronger pivots.
Break Strength (default: 0.25) — Break distance must be ≥ this multiple of the previous swing range. Set 0 to disable.
Impulse Body Filter (default: 1.5) — The break candle body must be ≥ this multiple of the 20-bar average body. Set 0 to disable.
Show Entry / SL / TP Lines — Toggle dashed level lines and labels.
Show Risk/Reward Zones — Toggle colored risk/reward boxes.
Show Pending State — Toggle the dotted lines and phase labels for setups being tracked.
Show Confirm Break Label — Toggle the confirmation label.
Show Swing Points — Toggle swing high/low markers on the chart.
Full color customization for all visual elements.
────────────────
Alerts
BUY Signal — Fires when Phase 3 retest is triggered on a bullish setup.
SELL Signal — Fires when Phase 3 retest is triggered on a bearish setup.
Any Signal — Fires on either direction.
────────────────
Notes
Works on all timeframes and all instruments.
Non-repainting — All signals use confirmed (closed) pivots. No lookahead.
This is a detection tool , not a strategy. Use it alongside your own risk management and confluence analysis.
Best suited for trending markets where HH/LL structures form clean impulse waves.
The 3-phase confirmation significantly reduces false signals compared to raw breakout detection.

Game Theory Strategic Indicator - Archery & Horse Riding Model# Game Theory Strategic Indicator - Archery & Horse Riding Model
## Overview
This indicator applies rigorous game theory mathematics to market analysis, modeling price action as a strategic two-player game between buyers and sellers. The methodology draws from economic game theory, evolutionary dynamics, and zero-sum game optimization.
## Theoretical Foundation
The indicator implements five core game theory concepts:
**1. Expected Utility (Mixed Strategies)**
Calculates E = p×U₁ + (1-p)×U₂ where:
- p = probability distribution based on volume dynamics
- U₁, U₂ = utility payoffs for aggressive vs defensive strategies
- Uses RSI momentum and ATR volatility to quantify payoffs
**2. Nash Equilibrium Detection**
Identifies market states where ui(σᵢ*, σ₋ᵢ*) ≥ ui(σᵢ, σ₋ᵢ*):
- Measures when no participant can improve by changing strategy
- Highlighted with yellow background zones
- Signals reduced edge environments (avoid trading)
**3. Replicator Dynamics**
Models evolutionary strategy adaptation: dx/dt = x(f(x) - φ(x))
- Tracks frequency changes in bullish vs bearish strategies
- Shows which approach is gaining evolutionary fitness
- Purple line indicates strategy evolution trend
**4. Minimax Algorithm**
Implements zero-sum game optimal strategy L(x,y):
- Calculates win/loss ratio over lookback period
- Values > 1.0 suggest favorable risk/reward
- Orange line shows deviation from neutral state
**5. Best Response Function**
Determines optimal action maximizing ui(aᵢ, a₋ᵢ):
- Compares buyer vs seller expected utilities
- Generates primary long/short signals
- Confidence weighted by utility differential
## Visual Elements
**Chart Plots:**
- **Blue Line (Utility Differential)**: Buyer utility minus seller utility. Positive favors longs, negative favors shorts
- **Purple Line (Replicator Dynamics)**: Rate of strategy evolution. Rising = bullish strategies gaining fitness
- **Orange Line (Minimax Deviation)**: Zero-sum game value. Above zero = favorable conditions
- **Pink Area (Mixed Strategy Bias)**: Probability-weighted strategy preference
- **Yellow Background**: Nash equilibrium zones where no player has edge
**Signals:**
- **Green Triangle Up**: Long signal - buyer utility dominates outside equilibrium
- **Red Triangle Down**: Short signal - seller utility dominates outside equilibrium
- **Yellow Diamond**: Equilibrium warning - reduced edge state
**Info Table (Top Right):**

PD Location Screener (NY Session)PD Location Screener (NY Session) – Premium / Discount / Equilibrium Bias
This open-source overlay indicator is a lightweight visual screener that shows where current price is located relative to the **previous day's range** (PD high/low/midpoint), helping traders quickly identify:
- Discount zones (below 25% of PD range → potential buy bias)
- Premium zones (above 75% of PD range → potential sell bias)
- Equilibrium / neutral (near midpoint → balanced / choppy)
Core Concept
Many intraday traders use the previous day's range as a reference framework:
- Price below the midpoint (especially in the lower 25%) is considered **discount** → undervalued relative to yesterday → higher probability of mean-reversion buys or continuation if momentum builds
- Price above the midpoint (especially in the upper 25%) is considered **premium** → overvalued → higher probability of mean-reversion sells or fading
- Near the midpoint → equilibrium → often choppy or awaiting directional catalyst
This script adds a **NY session filter** (default 08:30–16:00 NY time) so the PD range calculation only includes bars during active New York hours — useful for avoiding thin Asian-range noise and focusing on high-liquidity period behavior.
Why this is useful
- Provides instant visual context for bias without cluttering the chart
- Helps filter trades: e.g., look for longs in discount + bullish structure, shorts in premium + bearish structure
- Session filter makes it particularly effective for NY/London overlap strategies (forex, indices, gold, futures)
How It Works
1. Tracks daily high/low only during NY session (optional toggle)
- Resets at new day
- Updates only when inSession = true
2. Calculates:
- Midpoint = (PD High + PD Low) / 2
- PD Range = PD High – PD Low
- Discount threshold = PD Low + 25% of range
- Premium threshold = PD Low + 75% of range
3. Bias flags:
- Discount: close < midpoint → green triangle below bar
- Premium: close > midpoint → red triangle above bar
4. Optional last-bar label:
- "DISCOUNT ZONE" (green)
- "PREMIUM ZONE" (red)
- "EQUILIBRIUM" (gray)
Visual Output
- Green triangle below bar → price in discount (buy bias area)
- Red triangle above bar → price in premium (sell bias area)
- Last-bar label (toggleable) showing current location
How to Use
- Best on **5m–1h timeframes** for intraday trading (forex majors, indices, gold, futures)
- Recommended pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD, NAS100, ES1!, NQ1!
- Typical workflow:
1. Wait for price to reach discount zone + bullish price action / structure → consider longs
2. Wait for premium zone + bearish price action → consider shorts
3. Avoid entries near equilibrium unless strong breakout catalyst
- Combine with:
- Order blocks, FVGs, liquidity sweeps
- Higher-timeframe trend filter
- Session open/high/low
- Toggle "Use NY Session Only" off if you want full 24h range (e.g., crypto or Asian-focused pairs)
Inputs
- Use NY Session Only: true = only NY hours count toward PD range (recommended)
- NY Session: default "0830-1600" (adjust if broker timezone differs)
- Show Location Labels: toggle last-bar text label
Publishing Recommendation
- Publish with a clean chart (e.g., 15m–1h XAUUSD or EURUSD during NY session)
- Show a period where price moves from discount → equilibrium → premium (triangles visible)
- No extra indicators/drawings needed
This is a simple, educational location bias tool — fully open-source. It highlights relative value zones — not trade signals. Trading involves significant risk of loss. Use discretion and proper risk management.
Feedback welcome — especially suggestions for adding PD open or 50% retracement lines!

Gold/Spread AlgoXAUUSD 1-Minute RSI Scalping Strategy – Mean-Reversion with Fixed Exits
This open-source strategy is a high-frequency, counter-trend scalping system designed specifically for **XAUUSD (Gold)** on the 1-minute timeframe.
Core Logic
The strategy uses classic RSI(14) to identify short-term overextension:
- Long entry when RSI drops below oversold (default 30) → expects quick snap-back
- Short entry when RSI rises above overbought (default 70) → expects quick pullback
Entries are taken only when flat (no pyramiding). Exits are fixed in pips and set immediately on entry:
- Take Profit: +10 pips (0.10 in XAUUSD price)
- Stop Loss: –5 pips (0.05 in XAUUSD price)
- Built-in Risk:Reward = 1:2
This fixed structure gives the system positive mathematical expectancy even with moderate win rates (≈55–65% before costs), provided gold continues to exhibit frequent mean-reversion behavior on 1-minute charts.
Why this simple approach?
Gold is one of the most volatile and momentum-driven instruments on very short timeframes. Pure RSI extremes often capture quick exhaustion moves after news spikes, order flow imbalances, or session transitions — especially during London/NY overlap. Fixed pip targets prevent over-optimization and mimic real broker execution more closely than dynamic trailing or percentage-based exits.
Important Realism & Backtesting Notes
To produce non-misleading results, use these settings when publishing/testing:
- Initial Capital: $10,000 – $30,000 (realistic retail size)
- Position sizing: fixed 0.10–0.30 lots or 1–3% equity per trade
- Commission: 5–8 USD round-turn per lot (typical ECN/raw-spread)
- Slippage: 3–8 ticks (≈0.03–0.08 in price) — gold spreads widen during volatility
- Minimum dataset: 12–36 months of 1-minute data (aim for 800–2000+ trades)
- Risk per trade: usually 0.5–1.5% with defaults — never exceeds sustainable levels
Results vary significantly:
- Strongest in ranging or mildly trending sessions
- Weaker during strong directional moves or major news (NFP, FOMC, geopolitics)
- Expect drawdowns during trending regimes — this is NOT a trend-following system
Visual & Dashboard Elements
- RSI line + fill (blue/orange background) + overbought/oversold zones
- BUY/SELL triangles at entry points
- Professional top-right dashboard showing:
- Net Profit & Loss
- Total Trades / Win Rate / Profit Factor

How to Use
1. Apply to XAUUSD 1-minute chart only
2. Use realistic commission/slippage in Strategy Tester
3. Trade primarily during London & New York sessions for best liquidity
4. Avoid major news events or widen stops manually
5. Forward-test on demo for 2–3 months minimum
6. Always size conservatively — never risk more than 1–2% per trade
Publish Recommendation
- Use a clean chart: only this strategy, no extra indicators/drawings
- Show realistic tester results with commission/slippage applied

All-in-One SMC ProAll-in-One SMC Pro: CHOCH • BOS • FVG • Order Blocks • Liquidity + Discount/Premium
This open-source overlay indicator combines the five most widely used Smart Money / ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts into a single, customizable tool:
- Break of Structure (BOS)
- Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Order Blocks (mitigation blocks)
- Liquidity grabs (equal highs/lows)
- Discount / Premium zones
Why this combination?
SMC traders rarely use these concepts in isolation. A complete workflow typically involves:
1. Identifying market structure direction (BOS) or reversal (CHOCH)
2. Locating high-probability entry zones (Order Blocks, FVGs)
3. Confirming institutional manipulation (liquidity grabs of equal highs/lows)
4. Understanding price positioning relative to value (discount = buy bias, premium = sell bias)
Putting them all in one script reduces chart clutter, improves confluence visibility, and helps newer SMC users see how the pieces connect — without needing 5–7 separate indicators.
Core Concepts & Detection Logic
1. Break of Structure (BOS)
- Bullish BOS: price closes above previous swing high
- Bearish BOS: price closes below previous swing low
- Swing points detected with user-defined lookback (default 5 bars left/right)
2. Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Bullish CHOCH: price makes lower low but closes above previous swing high (bearish structure broken → bullish reversal signal)
- Bearish CHOCH: price makes higher high but closes below previous swing low (bullish structure broken → bearish reversal signal)
3. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Bullish FVG: gap up after a bearish candle (low > high )
- Bearish FVG: gap down after a bullish candle (high < low )
- Sensitivity controlled via ATR multiplier (default 0.1 × ATR(14))
- Dashed horizontal lines mark the gap boundaries
4. Order Blocks
- Bullish OB: previous swing low after bullish BOS (potential demand zone)
- Bearish OB: previous swing high after bearish BOS (potential supply zone)
- Drawn as semi-transparent boxes extending rightward (lookback period adjustable)
5. Liquidity Grabs
- Detects clusters of equal highs/lows (default 3-bar lookback)
- Labels appear when price reverses after touching equal levels (classic stop-hunt / liquidity raid)
6. Discount / Premium Zones
- Equilibrium proxy = (H + L + C) / 3
- Discount: price below ~0.5% of equilibrium (green tint – buy bias area)
- Premium: price above ~0.5% of equilibrium (red tint – sell bias area)
Visual Customization
- Toggle each element independently (BOS, CHOCH, FVG, OB, Liquidity, Disc/Prem)
- Separate bullish/bearish colors + dedicated FVG/OB/Liquidity colors
- Max lines/labels set high (500) to handle longer histories
Alerts (built-in conditions)
- Bullish / Bearish BOS
- Bullish / Bearish CHOCH
- Bullish / Bearish FVG formation
How to Use
- Best on 5m–4h timeframes for forex, indices, crypto, gold (high-liquidity instruments)
- Typical SMC workflow example:
1. Look for CHOCH → potential trend reversal
2. Wait for BOS in new direction → structure confirmation
3. Seek entry at Order Block or FVG mitigation in discount/premium zone
4. Liquidity grabs near swing extremes often precede strong moves
- Combine with session times, news events, or higher-timeframe bias — never trade signals in isolation
- Adjust swingLen (3–10) for sensitivity: lower = more signals, higher = cleaner structure
Publishing Recommendation
- Publish with a clean chart (recommended: 15m–1h EURUSD, XAUUSD, BTCUSD, or NQ1!)
- Show a recent CHOCH → BOS → OB/FVG confluence sequence
- Remove all other indicators, drawings, and unnecessary gridlines
Always use discretion, proper risk management, and backtest thoroughly.

Apex / ChartFanatics Bubbles + Clusters + SweepsApex / ChartFanatics Bubbles + Clusters + Sweeps
This open-source indicator combines four visual elements — Volume Bubbles, Volume Clusters, Liquidity Sweep Markers, and Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones — into a single overlay tool. The goal is to provide traders with a unified view of volume intensity, aggressive price action, and key institutional reference levels on any timeframe or instrument.
Why this combination?
Many volume and structure tools exist separately, but combining them creates synergy:
- Volume Bubbles highlight relative volume strength instantly (quick glance at participation level).
- Volume Clusters emphasize high-volume bars as potential support/resistance areas.
- Liquidity Sweep markers flag classic "fakeout" or stop-hunt behavior (aggressive wicks that fail to sustain).
- Supply/Demand zones provide context for where price is likely to react after sweeps or clusters form.
Together, these elements help traders spot:
- Areas of high institutional interest (clusters + zones)
- Potential reversals after liquidity grabs (sweeps + zones)
- Confirmation of momentum via volume size and candle direction (bubbles + clusters)
This mashup is not random — it follows a logical Smart-Money / Order-Flow inspired workflow: detect volume → identify aggressive liquidity raids → map reaction zones → visualize everything for fast decision-making.
Core Features & How They Work
1. Volume Bubbles (Quantile-Based)
- Volume is ranked against a rolling lookback (default 200 bars).
- Dynamic quantiles divide the volume range into buckets (default 10 levels).
- Bubble size scales with quantile rank (tiny → huge).
- Color: bright green (bullish close) or bright red (bearish close), with adjustable opacity.
- Only shown when volume exceeds 1.2× the lookback minimum (avoids noise).
- Tooltip shows exact volume, delta (close-open), and quantile position.
2. Volume Clusters
- Draws semi-transparent boxes around bars exceeding a user-defined minimum volume.
- Width adjustable (default 4 bars forward) to highlight clusters visually.
- Same bullish/bearish coloring as bubbles for consistency.
3. Liquidity Sweeps
- Detects classic sweep patterns on the previous bar:
→ Bullish sweep: high > previous high, but close < previous high AND bearish candle
→ Bearish sweep: low < previous low, but close > previous low AND bullish candle
- Marked with a bright yellow star (★) label + tooltip.
- Useful for identifying potential stop hunts or failed breakouts.
4. Supply & Demand Zones
- Uses pivot high/low (default lookback 20 left/right) to detect swing points.
- Supply zone: from pivot high downward by 2× ATR(14).
- Demand zone: from pivot low upward by 2× ATR(14).
- Zones extend rightward dynamically (up to +30 bars) and remain visible until new pivots form.
- Brownish for supply (resistance), greenish for demand (support).
Inputs & Customization
- Bubble Quantiles (3–15): more levels = finer volume grading
- Bubble Opacity: controls transparency
- Volume Lookback: historical window for quantile calculation
- Cluster settings: toggle, min volume, width
- Sweeps & Zones: individual toggles
- Zone Pivot Lookback: sensitivity of swing detection
How to Use
- Best on lower timeframes (1m–15m) for scalping/day trading or higher (1h–4h) for swing setups.
- Look for confluence:
→ Large green bubble + cluster + demand zone + bullish sweep = strong support area
→ Large red bubble + cluster + supply zone + bearish sweep = strong resistance area
- Use sweeps as early warning of potential reversal when price approaches a zone.
- Combine with your own price action or structure analysis — this is a visual aid, not a signal generator.
- Keep chart clean: toggle off unused features if cluttered.
Publishing Notes
- Publish with a clean chart (only this indicator active, no other overlays/drawings).
- Recommended symbols: volatile instruments (forex majors, indices, crypto, gold).
- Max labels/boxes set high (500) to handle long histories — reduce if performance issues occur.
This script is fully open-source for transparency and learning. It is provided for educational purposes — no guarantees of profitability. Trading involves risk.

Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones [BOSWaves]Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones - Impulse-Based Zone Detection with Embedded Volume Profile Analysis
Overview
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones is an impulse-driven zone identification system that marks significant reversal areas through swing detection and volume accumulation patterns, where zone boundaries dynamically reflect actual trading activity concentration rather than arbitrary price levels.
Instead of relying on traditional horizontal support/resistance lines or fixed pivot structures, zone placement, thickness, and volumetric composition are determined through ATR-normalized impulse detection, volume profile distribution analysis, and delta decomposition within base formation periods.
This creates adaptive supply and demand boundaries that reflect actual volume accumulation patterns rather than simple price extremes - contracting zones around high-volume concentration areas when profile shows tight distribution, expanding zones during dispersed volume activity, and incorporating positive/negative delta breakdowns to reveal whether zones formed under buying or selling pressure dominance.
Price interactions are therefore evaluated relative to volume-weighted zone structures and point-of-control levels rather than conventional naked price zones.
Conceptual Framework
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones is founded on the principle that meaningful reversal zones emerge where significant volume accumulated during consolidation before impulse moves rather than at simple swing high/low pivot points.
Traditional supply and demand methods identify zones using price structure alone through swing detection or candlestick patterns, which often ignores the underlying volume distribution and buying/selling pressure that validates institutional accumulation or distribution. This framework replaces price-only logic with volume-weighted zone construction informed by actual trading activity concentration and delta composition.
Three core principles guide the design:
Zone boundaries should encompass base formation periods preceding impulse moves, not isolated pivot candles alone.
Volume profile distribution within zones must reveal where actual trading activity concentrated, identifying true points of control.
Delta decomposition exposes whether zones formed under buying pressure (demand accumulation) or selling pressure (supply distribution).
This shifts supply and demand analysis from naked price levels into volume-validated, delta-aware institutional footprint zones.
Theoretical Foundation
The indicator combines swing pivot detection, ATR-based impulse measurement, volume profile construction, and delta decomposition analysis.
A pivot detection system identifies local swing highs and lows using configurable left/right bar parameters. Impulse validation measures the subsequent price move magnitude relative to ATR, confirming whether the swing preceded a significant directional thrust. Zone boundaries encompass a lookback period of candles forming the base, with maximum height capped by ATR multiplier to prevent excessively large zones. Volume profile divides each zone into horizontal rows, distributing volume proportionally based on price overlap and identifying the point of control (highest volume row). Delta profile separates volume into buying versus selling components using close-open relationships, revealing net directional pressure within each profile row.
Five internal systems operate in tandem:
Swing Detection Engine : Identifies pivot highs and lows using symmetrical left/right bar confirmation for potential zone anchor points.
Impulse Validation System : Measures price movement magnitude following pivot formation, requiring ATR-multiple threshold breach to confirm zone significance.
Volume Profile Constructor : Divides zone height into configurable rows, allocates volume proportionally based on bar price range overlap with each row, identifies POC as highest-volume row.
Delta Decomposition Engine : Separates volume into buying (up-close bars) versus selling (down-close bars) components within each profile row, calculates net delta and dominant pressure direction.
Zone Merge Logic : Detects overlapping zones of same type (supply/supply or demand/demand), combines boundaries and recalculates volume/delta statistics with weighted blending.
This design allows supply and demand zones to reflect actual volume accumulation reality rather than reacting mechanically to price pivots alone.
How It Works
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones evaluates price through a sequence of volume-aware zone construction processes:
Pivot Identification : Swing detection algorithm identifies local highs and lows using configurable left/right bar symmetry, marking potential reversal zone anchors.
Impulse Magnitude Validation : Following pivot formation, price movement measured relative to ATR over lookback period - move must exceed ATR multiplier threshold to confirm zone validity.
Base Period Boundary Definition : Zone encompasses pivot bar plus configurable lookback candles forming the consolidation base preceding impulse move.
Height Normalization : Raw zone height (high to low of base period) capped at maximum ATR multiplier to prevent zones becoming unreasonably large during extended consolidations.
Volume Profile Row Allocation : Zone divided into configurable number of horizontal rows, each bar's volume distributed proportionally based on price range overlap with row boundaries.
Point of Control Identification : Row with highest accumulated volume marked as POC, representing price level with maximum trading activity concentration within zone.
Delta Component Separation : Each bar's volume classified as buying (close > open) or selling (close < open), allocated to respective delta buckets within overlapping profile rows.
Delta Profile Construction : Net delta (buy volume minus sell volume) calculated per row, rendered as horizontal bars extending from zone right edge inward with green (positive) or red (negative) coloring.
Overlap Detection and Merging : New zones checked against existing zones of same type, overlapping zones within merge gap threshold combined with boundary expansion and volume/delta statistics aggregation.
Mitigation Detection : Price interaction monitoring using configurable method (wick or close) determines when zones violated, triggering zone deletion and cleanup of all visual elements.
Together, these elements form a continuously updating supply and demand framework anchored in volume accumulation reality and delta pressure composition.
Interpretation
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones should be interpreted as volume-validated institutional footprint zones:
Demand Zones (Green) : Form at swing lows preceding upward impulse moves exceeding ATR threshold - represent areas where buyers accumulated positions before markup phase, volume profile shows where bids concentrated.
Supply Zones (Red) : Establish at swing highs preceding downward impulse moves exceeding ATR threshold - identify areas where sellers distributed positions before markdown phase, volume profile shows where offers concentrated.
Volume Profile Bars : Horizontal bars extending from zone left edge show relative volume distribution across price levels - longer bars indicate higher trading activity, revealing true institutional accumulation/distribution levels versus arbitrary zone edges.
Point of Control Line (White) : Horizontal line within zone marks price level with maximum volume concentration - represents the most significant institutional activity level, often acts as magnetic price level during retests.
Delta Profile Bars : Horizontal bars extending from zone right edge inward display net buying/selling pressure per price level - green bars show buy volume dominance (accumulation), red bars show sell volume dominance (distribution).
Zone Info Box : Text panel on right edge displays zone type (SUPPLY/DEMAND), status (Fresh/Tested), total volume, net delta, and touch count - provides quantitative validation of zone significance.
Fresh Status : Newly created zones not yet tested by price - highest probability reversal zones as institutional orders likely remain unfilled.
Tested Status : Zones where price returned and interacted with boundaries - touch count reveals how many times zone provided support/resistance, excessive touches suggest weakening.
Merged Zones : Wider zones with higher volume/delta values formed by combining multiple overlapping base periods - represent extended institutional accumulation/distribution areas with greater significance.
POC Brightness : Brightest (white) volume profile bar marks point of control - visual emphasis highlights the most critical price level within zone structure.
Volume distribution shape, POC placement, delta composition, and touch count outweigh simple zone boundary reactions.
Signal Logic & Visual Cues
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones presents zone interaction insights rather than discrete directional signals:
Fresh Zone Formation : New supply or demand zone created when swing pivot followed by ATR-threshold impulse - suggests institutional footprint left behind, high-probability reversal area established.
First Retest (Fresh → Tested) : Price returning to previously untouched zone triggers status change and touch increment - historically highest-probability reaction level as unfilled orders likely remain.
POC Magnetic Behavior : Price gravitating toward white POC line during zone interaction - suggests institutional activity concentration level acting as support/resistance within broader zone.
Volume Profile Asymmetry : Profile showing volume concentrated at zone edge versus center reveals base formation character - edge concentration suggests quick accumulation before impulse, center concentration indicates prolonged consolidation.
Delta Divergence Patterns : Demand zones showing negative delta profile (red bars dominant) or supply zones showing positive delta (green bars) reveal weak zone formation - pressure composition conflicted with expected direction.
Delta Confirmation Patterns : Demand zones with strong positive delta (green bars) or supply zones with strong negative delta (red bars) validate institutional conviction - pressure aligned with expected reversal direction.
Excessive Touch Degradation : Touch count exceeding 3-4 interactions suggests zone weakening - repeated tests consume institutional orders, reducing reversal probability.
Mitigation Events : Price closing beyond zone boundaries (or wicking through, based on settings) triggers zone deletion - invalidation confirms institutional levels failed, trend continuation likely.
The primary value lies in volume-validated zone structure and delta composition analysis rather than simple boundary touches.
Strategy Integration
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones fits within institutional footprint and order flow-aware trading approaches:
Fresh Zone Reversal Entries : Enter counter-trend positions at first retest of fresh zones with strong delta confirmation - unfilled institutional orders provide high-probability reaction levels.
POC-Precise Limit Orders : Place entries at POC line rather than zone edges - point of control represents maximum volume concentration, offering tighter stop placement and better risk/reward.
Delta-Filtered Zone Selection : Prioritize demand zones showing positive net delta and supply zones showing negative net delta-aligned pressure composition validates institutional conviction.
Volume Profile Distribution Analysis : Favor zones with tight volume concentration (profile bars clustered) over dispersed distribution - concentrated profiles suggest decisive institutional accumulation/distribution.
Merge-Enhanced Conviction : Treat merged zones with higher volume/delta totals as stronger reversal candidates - combined statistics represent extended institutional activity periods.
Touch Count Degradation Filtering : Reduce position sizing or avoid zones with 3+ touches - excessive interaction depletes institutional orders, weakening reversal probability.
Trend Continuation via Mitigation : Enter breakout positions when price closes beyond supply zones (uptrend) or demand zones (downtrend) - mitigation confirms trend strength overwhelming institutional levels.
Multi-Timeframe Zone Confluence : Apply higher-timeframe zones for macro structure, use lower-timeframe volume profile to identify precise entry levels within larger zones.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Pivot detection with symmetrical left/right confirmation, ATR-normalized impulse validation
Zone Construction : Base period lookback with ATR-capped height normalization and time-based extension
Volume Profile System : Proportional volume allocation across configurable rows with overlap percentage calculation

Performance Profile : Custom type system for zone/profile/delta management, efficient array-based storage with configurable zone limits
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Micro-structure supply/demand for scalping with tight ATR multipliers and reduced lookback
15 - 60 min : Intraday institutional footprint zones with balanced profile row count and merge sensitivity
4H - Daily : Swing-level accumulation/distribution areas with extended lookback periods and wider merge gaps
Weekly - Monthly : Macro institutional zones with maximum profile detail and extended zone persistence
Suggested Baseline Configuration:
Swing Length : 8
Impulse Size (ATR) : 1.2
Base Lookback Candles : 3
ATR Length : 14
Maximum Zone Height (ATR) : 4.0
Maximum Zones : 10
Extend Zones (bars) : 60
Merge Overlapping Zones : Enabled
Merge Gap (ATR) : 0.3
Mitigation Type : Wick
Profile Rows : 10
Profile Width (%) : 0.5
Show POC Line : Enabled
Show Delta Profile : Enabled
Delta Profile Width (%) : 0.35
Show Zone Info Box : Enabled
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset's volatility profile, volume characteristics, and preferred zone sensitivity, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Parameter Calibration Notes
Use the following adjustments to refine behavior without altering the core logic:
Too many zones cluttering chart : Increase Swing Length (10 - 12) to demand stronger pivots, or increase Impulse Size multiplier (1.5 - 2.0) to require larger moves for zone validation.
Missing significant reversal levels : Decrease Swing Length (5-6) for earlier pivot detection, or reduce Impulse Size (0.8 - 1.0) to capture smaller but valid base formations.
Zones too large/tall : Reduce Maximum Zone Height ATR multiplier (2.5 - 3.0) to cap vertical size, or decrease Base Lookback Candles (1 - 2) for tighter base periods.
Zones too small to be useful : Increase Base Lookback Candles (4 - 6) to encompass longer consolidation periods, or raise Maximum Zone Height (5.0 - 7.0) for taller zones.
Profile bars too granular : Decrease Profile Rows (6 - 8) for coarser distribution showing major volume clusters only.
Profile lacking detail : Increase Profile Rows (15 - 20) for finer resolution revealing subtle volume distribution nuances.
Zones merging too aggressively : Decrease Merge Gap ATR multiplier (0.1 - 0.2) to require tighter overlap for merge qualification, or disable merging entirely.
Related zones not combining : Increase Merge Gap (0.5 - 0.8) to allow merging of zones with larger separation distances.
Zones invalidating prematurely : Switch Mitigation Type from "Wick" to "Close" to require closing violation rather than intrabar penetration.
Zones persisting too long after breach : Switch Mitigation Type from "Close" to "Wick" for faster invalidation on initial penetration.
Profile bars invisible : Increase Profile Width percentage (0.6 - 0.8) for longer bars, improving visibility on cluttered charts.
Delta profile obscuring volume profile : Reduce Delta Profile Width (0.2 - 0.3) to prevent overlap, or disable delta display temporarily.
Adjustments should be incremental and evaluated across multiple session types rather than isolated market conditions.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Range-bound and mean-reverting markets where institutional zones provide reliable turning points
Instruments with consistent volume characteristics where profile distribution reveals true accumulation/distribution
Swing trading approaches targeting zone-to-zone reactions with defined risk parameters
Reversal strategies seeking volume-validated entry levels rather than blind counter-trend positions
Markets where delta proxy correlates well with actual order flow (trending volume instruments)
Position trading benefiting from macro supply/demand structure with embedded volume context
Reduced Effectiveness:
Extremely low volume environments where profile distribution becomes unreliable and sparse
News-driven or gapped markets where zones form/invalidate without normal volume accumulation patterns
Highly trending markets where zones consistently mitigate without providing reversal opportunities
Instruments with erratic volume patterns making delta decomposition and profile interpretation misleading
Very high-frequency timeframes (seconds) where base formation periods too short for meaningful volume accumulation
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves structure, market profile, or traditional technical analysis for zone validation within broader context
Volume Profile Respect : Trust POC levels and high-volume profile bars over arbitrary zone edges for entry/exit precision
Delta Confirmation Priority : Favor zones where delta composition aligns with expected direction - positive delta in demand, negative delta in supply
Fresh Zone Preference : Prioritize first retests of untouched zones over repeatedly tested areas with high touch counts
Merge Recognition : Treat merged zones with elevated volume/delta statistics as higher-conviction institutional footprint areas
Touch Count Filtering : Reduce position sizing or avoid zones after 3+ touches as institutional order depletion reduces effectiveness
Mitigation Discipline : Exit zone-based positions decisively when price closes beyond boundaries, respecting invalidation signals
Multi-Timeframe Structure : Apply higher-timeframe zones for swing structure, use lower-timeframe profiles for tactical entry refinement
Disclaimer
Volumetric Supply and Demand Zones is a professional-grade supply/demand zone and volume profile analysis tool. It uses volume-based delta proxy to estimate directional pressure but does not access true order book data or institutional trade information. Results depend on market conditions, volume reliability, ATR characteristics, parameter selection, and disciplined execution. Volume profile and delta calculations represent approximations based on close-open relationships and price overlap formulas, not actual bid/ask transactions. BOSWaves recommends deploying this indicator within a broader analytical framework that incorporates price structure, order flow context, and comprehensive risk management.

Mouchli Zone Projection ToolZone Projection Tool
The Problem: Manually drawing zones is tedious. You have to identify the consolidation, measure the distance, find the 50% line, and then manually clone/stack boxes up and down the chart. If you switch assets or timeframes, you have to do it all over again.
The Solution: This custom Pine Script automates the entire mathematical process. You simply define your two "Anchor Zones" (current support and resistance), and the script instantly builds the entire grid for you—perfectly spaced and optimized.
Key Features:
⚡ Automated Stacking: Input your bottom zone and top zone. The script calculates the exact center, determines the "grid step," and automatically projects zones UP and DOWN the chart.
📊 Multi-Asset Manager: Save your levels for up to 5 different assets (e.g., QQQ, ES, NVDA, SPY, BTC) in one single indicator. The script is smart—it automatically detects which chart you are looking at and loads the correct levels instantly.
🗓️ Daily & Weekly Overlays: Input both Daily Zones (Purple) and Weekly Zones (Orange) for the same asset. You can view them simultaneously to see where short-term and long-term structures overlap.
🎛️ Toggle Controls: Includes "Show/Hide" checkboxes for every zone set. Want to focus only on the Daily levels? Uncheck the Weekly box, and they disappear instantly without deleting your data.
📍 The "Halfway" Line: Automatically calculates and draws the dashed 50% transition line between every zone, identifying the "no-man's-land" where price often pivots.
How it works:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the Settings (gear icon).
Select your Ticker (e.g., Asset 1 = QQQ).
Enter your "Anchor" prices for Zone 1 (Support) and Zone 2 (Resistance).
Set your Projection UP and Projection DOWN counts to determine how far the grid extends.
The script will automatically draw the 50% lines and project the zones for you.

Malaysian SnR Kai[DoN]
This indicator is a sophisticated trading tool based on Malaysian SnR (Support and Resistance) techniques. It is designed to identify high-probability reversal and continuation zones by filtering market noise and tracking the "life cycle" of a price level.
Here is a detailed explanation of its core features and logic:
1. SMA 21 "Quality Control" Filter
Unlike standard indicators that mark every pivot point, this script uses the 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) as a quality filter:
Resistance (A-Peaks): Only peaks that form above the SMA 21 are drawn.
Support (V-Bottoms): Only troughs that form below the SMA 21 are drawn.
The Logic: Sharp peaks/troughs that deviate from the moving average represent strong momentum and clear market rejection. These levels are much more likely to be respected by institutional traders.
2. Dynamic Role Reversal (RBS & SBR)
The indicator automatically tracks when a level's "role" changes, a concept central to Price Action trading:
RBS (Resistance Become Support): When a previously confirmed Resistance (A-Peak) is broken to the upside, it turns into a potential Support zone.
SBR (Support Become Resistance): When a confirmed Support (V-Bottom) is broken to the downside, it turns into a potential Resistance zone.
Auto-Delete (Invalidation): If price breaks through an RBS or SBR line again (violating the new role), the indicator instantly removes the line. This ensures your chart only shows levels that are currently valid.
3. Proximity Filter (Top 2 Closest)
To prevent "chart clutter," the script includes an intelligent filtering system for historical lines:
It calculates the distance between the current price and all active RBS/SBR lines.
It only displays the top 2 closest lines to the current price.
This keeps your focus on the levels that matter most for your next trade.
4. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Confluence
The indicator overlays SnR levels from a Higher Timeframe (e.g., Daily or 4H) onto your current chart:
These are displayed as dashed lines.
Trading Tip: When a Current Timeframe RBS/SBR level aligns with an HTF level, you have a "Confluence Zone," which significantly increases the win rate of a setup.
5. Advanced Visuals
Zones (Boxes): Instead of a thin line, the indicator draws a box (zone) that includes the price action near the peak/trough, acknowledging that SnR is an area, not a specific pip.
Labels at Origin: Labels (e.g., "V: 1.0850") are placed at the exact starting point of the level. This allows you to quickly see which specific historical move created the current level.
Future Extension: All active lines are extended into the future, providing a clear visual guide for where price might react next.
How to Use It in Your Strategy
Pullback Trading: Wait for the price to return to a cyan (Support) or orange (Resistance) zone. Look for rejection candles (pin bars, engulfing) within the box.
Role Reversal Entry: Watch for the price to retest an RBS (Resistance Become Support) line after a breakout. This is a classic "Buy the Dip" entry in an uptrend.
Confluence: The strongest signals occur when the price hits a Current TF line and an HTF dashed line at the same time.
Risk Management: If a line disappears from your chart, the "logic" for your trade has been invalidated. This can serve as a signal to close a position or move your stop loss.
Summary
This tool is built for traders who value clean charts and high-conviction levels. It automates the tedious work of drawing and deleting lines, allowing you to focus purely on price reaction at key decision points.
このインジケーターは、マレーシアスタイルのFX手法（特にSnRや役割転換を重視する手法）に基づいた、**「高勝率な反発・押し目ポイントを自動描画する」**ための非常に高度なツールです。
主な特徴は、SMA21によるフィルタリングと、役割転換（RBS/SBR）の自動管理にあります。
各機能の解説を以下にまとめました。
1. SMA21 フィルター（品質の選別）
ただの山や谷をすべて描画するのではなく、移動平均線（SMA21）を使って「意味のあるポイント」だけを抽出します。
Aライン（レジスタンス / 山）: 頂点がSMA21より上にある場合のみ描画。
Vライン（サポート / 谷）: 底がSMA21より下にある場合のみ描画。
理由: 移動平均線から乖離した位置にある「鋭い山・谷」は、市場参加者に意識されやすく、強い反発根拠になるためです。
2. ロールリバーサル（RBS/SBR）の自動管理
このインジケーターの最も強力な部分です。ラインが破られた後の「役割の交代」を追跡します。
RBS (Resistance Become Support):
元々「Aライン（山）」だったレジスタンスが、価格に上抜かれた後、今度は「サポート」として機能している状態。
SBR (Support Become Resistance):
元々「Vライン（谷）」だったサポートが、価格に下抜かれた後、今度は「レジスタンス」として機能している状態。
自動削除（再ブレイク判定）:
一度役割が転換したライン（RBS/SBR）でも、価格が再びそのラインを突き抜けた場合、そのラインは「無効」とみなして自動的に削除されます。これにより、常に「現在有効なライン」だけがチャートに残ります。
3. 近接フィルター（情報の整理）
チャートがラインだらけになるのを防ぐため、RBSとSBRの履歴ラインは**「現在値に近い順に最大2本まで」**しか表示されません。常に今すぐトレードに役立つラインに集中できます。
4. HTF（上位足）SnRの重ね合わせ
現在の足よりも上位（例：日足や4時間足）の重要なラインを点線で表示します。
下位足でのエントリーポイントが、上位足のラインと重なっていれば、それは非常に強力な「コンフラウンス（根拠の重なり）」となります。
5. ビジュアル（視覚的な工夫）
ゾーン表示（ボックス）: ライン単体ではなく、ヒゲを含めた「帯」として意識するためのボックスを描画します。
起点ラベル: ラベルをラインの発生源（起点）に表示することで、過去のどの山・谷から引かれたラインなのかが一目でわかります。
未来延長: リアルタイムでラインが右側に伸びるため、将来の反発予測がしやすくなっています。
トレードでの活用例
押し目買い/戻り売り:
SMA21フィルターを通った新鮮なA/Vライン、または現在表示されているRBS/SBRラインに価格が戻ってきたところを狙います。
根拠の重なり（合流）:
現在の足のRBSラインと、上位足（点線）のサポートラインが同じ価格帯にある場合、そこは非常に強い反発ポイントになります。
損切りの目安:
表示されているラインを価格が実体で明確に抜けると、インジケーターからそのラインが消えます。これは「根拠が崩れた」サインであり、損切りの判断材料になります。
まとめ
このインジケーターは、**「トレンドの中での目立った節目」を見つけ、それが「役割を変えてからも機能しているか」**を自動で監視してくれる、トレーダーの環境認識を大幅に短縮するツールです。

Internal vs External Liquidity Zones [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated dual-timeframe market structure visualization system that identifies and maps internal (short-term) and external (long-term) liquidity levels with comprehensive Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) detection across both timeframes. Utilizing pivot-based zone creation with ATR-scaled heights and sweep classification, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping distinguishing between major swing liquidity (external) and minor retracement liquidity (internal) for multi-dimensional market structure analysis. The system's hierarchical structure framework combined with objective arrow projection and state-based zone coloring provides complete smart money concept implementation for advanced order flow trading.
🔶 Understanding Internal vs External Structure
External Structure represents major swing points using longer pivot lengths (default 10 bars), identifying significant highs and lows that define the broader market range and trend direction. These are the key levels where large institutional positions likely exist, stop losses cluster, and major trend reversals may occur. External structure breaks (eBOS/eCHoCH) signal significant shifts in market sentiment and often precede sustained directional moves.
Internal Structure captures minor swing points within the external range using shorter pivot lengths (default 3 bars), revealing short-term liquidity pools formed during retracements, consolidations, and minor corrections. These represent areas where smaller participants' stops accumulate and where price often reacts before continuing toward external objectives. Internal structure breaks (iBOS/iCHoCH) provide early warning signals and tactical entry opportunities within the broader external trend context.
The relationship between internal and external structure creates a hierarchical framework: external zones define the "what" (overall bias and major objectives), while internal zones reveal the "how" (tactical path and entry models). When internal structure breaks bullish while within an external bearish range, it signals potential reversal setup. When internal breaks align with external direction, it confirms trend strength.
🔶 Advanced Dual-Pivot Detection Framework
Implements separate pivot calculation systems for external and internal structure with configurable lookback periods optimizing for different swing magnitudes. The system identifies external pivots using extended length capturing major swing extremes, detects internal pivots using compressed length for minor retracement highs/lows, and optionally requires internal pivots occur within current external range boundaries ensuring hierarchical structure coherence.
// Dual Structure Detection
External_Pivot_High = ta.pivothigh(high, External_Length, External_Length)
External_Pivot_Low = ta.pivotlow(low, External_Length, External_Length)
Internal_Pivot_High = ta.pivothigh(high, Internal_Length, Internal_Length)
Internal_Pivot_Low = ta.pivotlow(low, Internal_Length, Internal_Length)
// Optional Range Requirement
Valid_Internal = requireInside ? (pivot within ) : true
🔶 BOS and CHoCH Detection System
Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price breaks a recent structure point in the direction of the current trend, confirming trend continuation. The system identifies BOS when:
Price breaks above previous high while trend remains bullish (bullish BOS)
Price breaks below previous low while trend remains bearish (bearish BOS)
Previous structure point hasn't been violated yet
Change of Character (CHoCH) signals potential trend reversal when price breaks structure counter to the established trend direction. The system detects CHoCH when:
Price breaks above previous high while trend was bearish (bullish CHoCH - reversal signal)
Price breaks below previous low while trend was bullish (bearish CHoCH - reversal signal)
Both external (e-prefix) and internal (i-prefix) structures generate independent BOS/CHoCH labels, enabling multi-timeframe structure analysis where eCHoCH may signal major reversal while iBOS confirms minor trend within that reversal.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Creation Architecture
Features ATR-based or tick-based zone height calculation with separate sizing for internal and external liquidity levels, creating visual boxes centered on pivot points. The system calculates zone dimensions using configurable ATR multiples (default 0.40x) or fixed tick counts, positions zones symmetrically above/below pivot levels, and applies distinct color schemes distinguishing external highs (red), external lows (white), internal highs (cyan), and internal lows (blue).
🔶 Equal High/Low Detection Mode
Provides advanced internal zone mode that only creates zones when consecutive internal pivots form equal highs or equal lows within ATR-based tolerance, filtering noise and highlighting significant accumulation/distribution patterns. The system tracks previous internal pivots, compares new pivots against tolerance threshold, creates averaged zone when equality detected, and ignores isolated pivots that don't form patterns, reducing visual clutter while emphasizing institutional liquidity clustering.
🔶 Comprehensive Sweep Classification System
Implements three sweep detection modes distinguishing between liquidity grabs and genuine breakouts with state-based zone coloring:
Wick Mode: Marks zone as swept when wick touches but close remains outside
Close Mode: Requires close through zone for sweep classification
Wick+Close Classify Mode: Distinguishes sweeps (S - wick touches, close outside) from breaks (B - close through zone)
The system transitions zones through three states: Active (0 - untouched), Swept (1 - liquidity grabbed), Broken (2 - fully breached), applying progressive transparency increases to visually distinguish state changes and enabling traders to identify false breakouts versus genuine structural violations.
🔶 Objective Arrow Projection Framework
Features intelligent objective labeling that triggers when internal zones are swept, projecting arrows pointing toward opposite external structure as probable targets. The system generates "->ExtH" labels when internal low swept (suggesting move toward external high) and "->ExtL" labels when internal high swept (suggesting move toward external low), providing smart money concept implementation where internal liquidity grabs often precede runs toward external objectives.
🔶 Dynamic Zone Management System
Maintains separate arrays for external and internal zones with configurable history modes and maximum zone limits. The system implements "Latest Only" mode (clears previous external zones of same side when new pivot detected) or "Keep History" mode (preserves all zones up to maximum limit), automatically expires oldest zones when limits reached, and optionally clears all internal zones when new external pivot forms, maintaining clean chart presentation while preserving relevant liquidity context.
🔶 Trend Momentum Scoring Engine
Calculates sophisticated trend state using dual-component analysis combining momentum (price change normalized by volatility) with strength (MA separation and slope alignment). The system generates TrendScore objects containing momentum value, strength percentage, direction (-1/0/+1), and confidence score (0-100), uses these scores to classify BOS versus CHoCH by comparing previous and current trend states, and provides objective structural classification beyond simple price level violations.
🔶 Adaptive Zone Extension Logic
Implements intelligent right-edge management where active zones extend to current bar but freeze at touch/sweep point when cut-on-touch enabled. The system continuously updates zone right boundaries during active state, locks boundary at bar of first violation, and maintains locked position through subsequent bars, creating visual history of when liquidity was accessed while preventing misleading forward projection of filled zones.
🔶 Multi-State Visual Feedback System
Provides comprehensive color and transparency modulation based on zone state with two visual style options. "Soft Fill" mode uses semi-transparent fills with subtle borders, while "Outline" mode displays only colored borders with transparent fills. The system applies progressive transparency increases: Active (light), Swept (medium), Broken (heavy), with independent control over fill and border transparency enabling customization from subtle hints to prominent highlighting.
🔶 Structure Line Visualization Architecture
Creates dashed horizontal lines connecting structure break points to current bar with BOS/CHoCH labels positioned at midpoint between break bar and detection bar. The system draws lines at exact structure level, applies color coding matching bullish (green) or bearish (red) classification, and uses compact labels (eBOS, eCHoCH, iBOS, iCHoCH) for instant structural event identification without cluttering chart with excessive text.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient array management with configurable maximum limits (default 120 zones each type), automatic cleanup of oldest elements, and optional hiding of filled zones reducing active object count. The system includes intelligent state tracking minimizing recalculation overhead, optimized sweep detection using simple comparison logic, and streamlined zone update loops processing only active zones for consistent performance across extended sessions.
🔶 Why Choose Internal vs External Liquidity Zones ?
This indicator delivers institutional-grade market structure analysis through hierarchical dual-timeframe liquidity mapping with comprehensive BOS/CHoCH detection. The distinction between external (major swing) and internal (minor retracement) structure provides complete smart money concept implementation where external zones define bias and targets while internal zones reveal tactical entries and stop hunts. The system's sweep classification distinguishes liquidity grabs from genuine breakouts, objective arrows project probable targets based on internal sweeps toward external levels, and comprehensive BOS/CHoCH labeling across both timeframes enables multi-dimensional structural analysis. Perfect for order flow traders implementing ICT concepts, liquidity-based strategies, or market maker models in cryptocurrency, forex, and futures markets where understanding the relationship between internal accumulation and external objectives is essential for high-probability trade location and proper risk management.
