What This Indicator Is
Apex Order Block & Liquidity Engine, or AOBLE, is a single overlay indicator that reads price action and automatically marks the core Smart Money Concepts and ICT style reference points directly on the chart. It marks market structure (BOS, CHoCH and MSS), bullish and bearish order blocks, breaker blocks, buy-side and sell-side liquidity, fair value gaps, a premium and discount dealing range, optional higher timeframe zones, and an optional trade plan with an entry, a stop loss and five targets. A compact dashboard summarizes the current state of the chart.
Every zone, line and label is produced from real price data using explicit, configurable rules. Nothing is decorative and nothing is drawn from a fixed template. If the rule is not met, the object is not drawn.
AOBLE is an analysis tool. It does not place orders, it does not predict the future, and it does not claim any accuracy or profitability.
Why It Was Built
Many traders mark order blocks, liquidity and structure by hand. That is slow, inconsistent from one chart to the next, and easy to bias after the fact. Existing tools often draw every opposite-coloured candle as an order block, print many overlapping labels, or show signals that only look good in hindsight.
AOBLE was built to solve three practical problems:
- Consistency. The same rules are applied to every bar, so two traders using the same settings see the same chart.
- Evidence before drawing. An order block needs a structure break plus a displacement candle measured against ATR. A liquidity level needs a minimum number of touches. A fair value gap needs a minimum size. This keeps the chart clean.
- Honest history. Everything is confirmed on closed bars by default, and objects are created on the bar where the information actually became known, so the history you scroll back through is the history you would have seen live.
How It Works: The Big Picture
The indicator runs several engines on every closed bar. They share one set of confirmed swing points and one ATR measurement, and they feed each other.
1. Pivot engine. Confirmed swing highs and swing lows are detected with a left and right length. A pivot only exists after the right-side bars have closed.
2. Structure engine. Closes through the last unbroken pivot create BOS, CHoCH or MSS events.
3. Order block engine. A structure break with displacement creates an order block from the origin candle.
4. Breaker engine. When an order block is invalidated, it is tracked and re-classified in the opposite direction.
5. Liquidity engine. Pivots are clustered into equal highs and equal lows, and sweeps are detected when price trades through them.
6. Fair value gap engine. Three-candle imbalances are detected, tracked and filled.
7. Trade planning engine. A sweep or an order block touch, followed by confirmation, can produce a frozen plan with entry, stop and five targets.
8. Dashboard and alerts. The state of all engines is summarized and exposed as alert conditions.
Market Structure: BOS, CHoCH and MSS
The structure engine tracks two independent levels: swing structure (default pivot length 5) and internal structure (default pivot length 3). Each has its own line style, label size and on/off switch.
- BOS (Break of Structure): a candle closes through the last unbroken pivot in the direction of the current trend.
- CHoCH (Change of Character): a candle closes through the last unbroken pivot against the current trend.
- MSS (Market Structure Shift): a CHoCH that also shows displacement, meaning a candle body of at least the chosen ATR multiple within the last three bars. If the optional volume filter is on, the volume condition must also pass.
A horizontal line is drawn from the broken pivot to the break candle, with a short label above or below it. If the swing level and the internal level break the same price on the same bar, only one label is printed.
How to use it: read the structure first. The direction of the last break tells you which side currently has control. A CHoCH or MSS against the prior direction is a warning that the trend may be changing, not a signal by itself.
Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks
A bullish order block is the last bearish candle (or a small cluster of bearish candles) before a bullish structure break that comes with strong bullish displacement. A bearish order block is the mirror image. The two directions have separate settings and separate conditions.
An order block is only created when all of these are true:
- A swing or internal structure break has just been confirmed.
- The strongest candle body in the last three bars is at least the chosen ATR multiple (default 1.0).
- If enabled, relative volume is above the threshold.
- A suitable opposite-coloured origin candle exists within the search window.
- The new zone does not duplicate or heavily overlap an existing zone.
Boundary options: full candle range (high to low), candle body (open to close), or a hybrid that includes a chosen percentage of the wick. An optional cluster mode merges consecutive opposite candles into one zone.
Zone states are shown visually:
- Fresh: price has not returned to the zone.
- Partially mitigated: price has entered the zone.
- Fully mitigated: price has reached the far edge of the zone without closing through it. The zone is faded, or removed if you choose.
- Invalidated: price broke through the far edge using the selected rule (candle close or wick) and the minimum breakout strength. The zone becomes a breaker, or is archived as a faded box.
The zone is drawn from the origin candle and extends to the right until it ends. Keep in mind that the zone only became known on the bar that confirmed the break.
How to use it: treat an order block as a reference area where a reaction may occur, not as a guaranteed turning point. Fresh zones in the direction of the higher timeframe structure are generally more useful than old, mitigated zones.
Breaker Blocks
A breaker is not just a renamed order block. The original zone is tracked first, and only when price breaks it under your chosen rule does it change role.
- A bullish order block that is broken downward becomes a bearish breaker.
- A bearish order block that is broken upward becomes a bullish breaker.
The breaker starts on the break bar and extends to the right. When price returns into it, the retest is highlighted. A breaker is removed if it fails (price closes beyond its far edge) or when it expires after the number of bars you set. The original broken order block can optionally be kept as a faded history box.
Settings include wick or candle-close invalidation, minimum breakout strength in ATR, maximum breakers per direction, retest highlighting and expiry.
How to use it: a breaker marks an area where the market previously defended a level and then failed. Many traders watch it as a possible area of interest on a retest, always together with structure and context.
Buy-Side and Sell-Side Liquidity
Liquidity pools are the areas where many stop orders are likely to rest: above swing highs (buy-side) and below swing lows (sell-side). AOBLE finds them from confirmed pivots.
- Equal highs and equal lows are clustered inside a tolerance that you set in ATR or in ticks.
- A level appears only after the minimum number of touches (default 2). Set it to 1 to show every confirmed swing.
- Touches must be separated by a minimum number of bars so a single swing is not counted twice.
- Lines extend to the right until swept and are labelled BUY-SIDE LIQUIDITY or SELL-SIDE LIQUIDITY, with the number of touches.
When price trades through a level it is marked as consumed:
- SWEEP: price traded through the level but closed back inside. This is a possible rejection.
- TAKEN: price traded through and closed beyond the level. This is a possible continuation.
A swept line is kept as a faded dotted line, or deleted if you choose. A sweep by itself never produces a buy or sell signal in this indicator.
Fair Value Gaps
A bullish fair value gap is a three-candle imbalance where the low of the third candle is above the high of the first candle. A bearish gap is the opposite. Gaps smaller than the minimum size (default 0.2 ATR, or a tick value) are ignored.
- The gap shrinks as price fills it, so you always see the unfilled part.
- A full fill fades or removes the zone, according to your setting.
- An optional midpoint line shows the consequent encroachment level.
- Maximum gaps per direction and optional labels are configurable.
Premium and Discount
The dealing range uses the latest confirmed swing high and swing low (or the internal pair, if selected). The area above the 50 percent level is shaded as premium, the area below as discount, with optional lines for the range high, the equilibrium and the range low.
This is context only. Price in premium is not a guaranteed sell and price in discount is not a guaranteed buy. Many traders simply prefer to look for longs when price is in discount and for shorts when price is in premium, and AOBLE offers an optional filter that applies exactly that to the trade plan.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
This module is optional and off by default to save execution cost. You can enable up to five higher timeframes (defaults 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily and weekly, with the 1 hour, 4 hour and daily slots active when the module is on).
For each enabled timeframe the indicator shows higher timeframe order blocks and liquidity, labelled with their source, for example H1 BULLISH OB, H4 BEARISH OB or D1 BUY-SIDE LIQUIDITY. Different border styles help tell the timeframes apart.
Only the last closed higher timeframe bar is used, so no future data leaks into history. The trade-off is that higher timeframe zones appear one higher timeframe bar later than they formed. Each zone is created once and removed when price closes through it.
Trade Planning: Entry, Stop Loss and Five Targets
This module is optional. It builds a reference plan; it never executes anything.
A setup needs three things:
1. A trigger within a window of bars: a liquidity sweep with a close back inside, or the first touch of an order block (you can choose either or both).
2. A confirmation: a bullish or bearish MSS or CHoCH, or a displacement candle.
3. Optional filters: a recent fair value gap, a relative volume spike, and a premium or discount filter.
Entry methods: confirmation close, order block retest, fair value gap retest, or a user price. Retest and user-price entries stay pending until price reaches them, and are cancelled if invalidated or expired.
Stop loss modes: beyond the swing, beyond the order block, or an ATR distance, each with a safety buffer. If a structural stop is too far, the ATR stop is used instead.
Targets: five targets, either at five user-set reward multiples (default 1R to 5R) or from nearby structure and liquidity (opposing liquidity pools, opposing order blocks and swing levels) with the multiples filling any gaps.
Once a setup is confirmed, the entry, stop and targets are frozen. You can optionally allow a pending setup to update until it is filled; filled setups never change. A cooldown and a one-setup-per-trigger rule prevent duplicates. Lines are extended to the right with labels showing the price, and labels update when a target or the stop is reached.
Targets are analytical reference levels. There is no implication that any target will be reached.
Volume Confirmation
Relative volume is the current volume divided by its moving average (default 20 bars). A spike is a value above the threshold (default 1.5). You can require a spike for order blocks, for MSS labels, and for trade setups.
Volume is ordinary exchange or broker volume. It is not verified institutional order flow. If a symbol has no volume data, the filters are bypassed and the dashboard shows N/A.
Dashboard
The optional table sits in any corner of the chart and updates on the last bar. It shows:
- Title row with the symbol and chart timeframe.
- Structural Bias: the swing structure direction (bullish, bearish or neutral).
- Internal Structure: the internal structure direction.
- Last BOS / MSS: the most recent structure event and its price.
- Nearest Bullish OB and Nearest Bearish OB: the price range of the closest active order block of each type.
- Nearest Buy-Side Liquidity and Nearest Sell-Side Liquidity: the closest unswept level above and below price.
- Active Setup: direction, pending or active status, entry price and how many targets have been reached.
- Relative Volume: the current ratio, with a spike flag.
- HTF Confluence: the enabled higher timeframes.
Compact mode shows only the bias, the last structure event, the active setup and the relative volume. Position, text size, text colour and background colour are adjustable.
Visual Design
Four themes are included: Professional Dark, Professional Light, Neon and Minimal. Every colour can be overridden. Zones are transparent, text size and line width are adjustable, and you can add borders, midpoint lines, right-edge labels and an optional layered glow. Labels can sit at the start of a zone, at the right edge, or be hidden. The aim is a clean institutional look without arrows and noise.
Alerts
Alert conditions are provided for: new bullish and bearish order blocks, price entering a bullish or bearish order block, bullish and bearish breaker confirmation, bullish and bearish BOS, bullish and bearish MSS or CHoCH, new buy-side and sell-side liquidity pools, buy-side and sell-side liquidity sweeps, bullish and bearish fair value gap creation, confirmed buy and sell setups, pending entry reached, stop loss reached and target reached.
Zone detection, price entering a zone, a liquidity sweep and a confirmed setup are separate alerts, so they are never confused. Each fires once on the bar where the event happens.
Settings Overview and Defaults
Inputs are organized in 15 groups: General, Market Structure, Bullish Order Blocks, Bearish Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Liquidity, Fair Value Gaps, Premium and Discount, Multi-Timeframe, Entry and Exit Planning, Volume, Dashboard, Visual Theme, Alerts, and Performance.
Starting defaults (they are starting points, not optimal values for every market):
- Swing pivot length 5, internal pivot length 3, ATR length 14.
- Displacement threshold 1.0 ATR.
- Up to 10 order blocks per direction, 15 liquidity levels and 10 fair value gaps per direction.
- Minimum liquidity touches 2.
- Confirmed-bar logic on, multi-timeframe off, dashboard on, trade planning on.
- Theme: Professional Dark.
Performance options include showing recent zones only, limits on every object type, and automatic deletion of old objects so the chart stays within TradingView limits.
How to Analyse a Chart With AOBLE
A simple top-down routine:
1. Check the dashboard bias and the last BOS or MSS to understand which side is in control.
2. Look at the dealing range. Note whether price is in premium or discount.
3. Identify the nearest fresh order block and the nearest liquidity pools above and below price.
4. Watch for a liquidity sweep with a close back inside, or a first touch of a zone in the direction of structure.
5. Wait for confirmation, such as an MSS or a displacement candle, and check for a nearby fair value gap.
6. If trade planning is on, review the entry, stop and targets as a reference. Consider the risk to reward and the higher timeframe context before taking any decision.
7. Remember that every level is a possibility, not a promise. Use your own risk management.
Suggested timeframes: the indicator can be used from 1 minute to daily charts. Lower timeframes produce more objects and more noise; raise the displacement multiple or the pivot lengths to reduce clutter.
Non-Repainting and Limitations
- Pivots need right-side bars. Structure lines, liquidity levels and the dealing range are created on the bar where the pivot is confirmed, never earlier. Lines are drawn back to the pivot bar for readability only.
- Order blocks are created on the bar that confirms the break, even though the box starts at the origin candle.
- With Confirmed-Bar Logic on (default), engines run on closed bars only. Turning it off allows intrabar evaluation, which can change before the candle closes.
- Higher timeframe data uses closed bars only and appears one higher timeframe bar later.
- The optional developing order block preview is clearly marked as unconfirmed and disappears when the bar closes.
- Volume is not institutional order flow.
- The indicator draws many objects. TradingView limits them, so the oldest are removed automatically.
- Settings should be tested on your own symbol and timeframe before relying on them.
