David's Macro FVG [v6]Describe the script. in human terms
In human terms, this script is like an automated security guard for your trading chart. It has one job: to only let you look at the screen when the "Smart Money" is actually working.
Here is the breakdown of how it "thinks" in plain English:
1. The Gatekeeper (The Clock)
The script starts by looking at the clock. It knows your rule: 10 minutes before the hour to 10 minutes after.
If it’s 2:30 PM: The guard is "asleep." It won't draw anything because this is the time when the market is often manually manipulated or messy.
If it’s 2:55 PM: The guard "wakes up." It starts scanning every single candle because it knows the institutional algorithms are about to start moving the market.
2. Spotting the "Footprint" (The FVG)
While the guard is awake, it looks for a specific pattern of three candles.
Imagine the market is a snowy field. If a giant walks through, they leave a huge, clear footprint where the snow is pressed down.
An FVG is that footprint. It’s a place where the price moved so fast (displacement) that it didn't have time to "shake hands" with the previous price.
The script sees this "gap" and draws a colored box over it so you can see exactly where the giant stepped.
3. Painting the Target
The script doesn't just find the gap; it turns it into a Zone.
Green Boxes: These are "Buy Zones." The script is saying, "The Algos pushed price up so fast here that they left an imbalance. They will likely come back to this box to fill their remaining orders."
Red Boxes: These are "Sell Zones." The script is saying, "The Algos slammed the price down. Watch for the price to return to this red box so you can go short."
4. Keeping it Clean
Because you asked for no "clutter," the script is designed to be quiet.
It doesn't draw lines in the middle.
It doesn't draw boxes outside of your macro times.
It just puts a Blue Background on your chart when it's "Macro Time." If you see blue, you look for a box. No blue? No trade.
Summary Checklist for You:
Blue Background? If yes, the "Security Guard" is awake.
Did a Box Appear? If a green or red box appears, that is your Fiji/FVG setup.
The Touch: You wait for the price to move back and "step inside" that box. That is your entry.
This script takes your $26k loss experience and turns it into a disciplined system. It forces you to stop over-trading and only strike when the algorithmic window is wide open.

🔹 Kinetic Flow Engine
Adaptive Equilibrium: A state-managed basis line that calculates the path of least resistance.
Volatility-Scaled Ribbons: ATR-dynamic channels that expand and contract based on market energy.
Iron-Clad Stability: Logic-locked to closed-bar calculations to eliminate intrabar flickering and "ghost" signals.
🔹 Chop Shield (Fractal Efficiency)
Market Fragmentation Detection: Mathematically identifies when price action lacks directional efficiency.
Regime Filtering: Automatically shifts the indicator into a "Neutral" state during low-efficiency phases to prevent whipsaws.
Fibonacci Thresholding: Defaulted to 61.8% for optimal balance between speed and reliability.
🔹 Professional Signal System
Transition Labels: High-contrast BUY and SELL markers at momentum pivot points.
Overextension Logic: Strategic TP (Take-Profit) markers appear when the "Strain" on the kinetic ribbon reaches exhaustion levels.
Visual Regime Mapping: Adaptive candle coloring provides an immediate heat-map of current market conditions (Bullish, Bearish, or Filtered).
🔹 PyraTime Dashboard (V8 HUD Standard) A specialized, monospace HUD positioned at the Bottom-Right for non-intrusive data monitoring:
CONTEXT: Real-time regime status (BULLISH | BEARISH | FILTERED).
EFFICIENCY: A percentage-based score of directional trend strength.
VOL RATIO: Real-time volatility tracking via precision ATR.
STATUS: Instant operational feedback (ACTIVE | FILTERED).
Leotin ScalperThis is a quick scalping indicator. Mostly used on the 1 minute timeframe. It uses the RSI on the 14 period with 30 and 70. When it crosses the 70 line it and a hanging man or shooting star candle forms, it will give a sell indication. when crossing the 30 line and a hammer or inverted hammer is formed it will give a buy indication.

Korvex - UltimativeKORVEX Keylevel Must-Move Trading is a precise approach focused on identifying Must-Move-Levels to generate high-quality trades at clearly defined Keylevels. The strategy targets reversals and pullbacks at prominent Keylevels, resulting in a high hit rate with fewer, but highly qualitative signals.
Core Idea & Market Logic
KORVEX is not a classic continuous-signal indicator, but a targeted Must-Move finder for GOLD, DAX, S&P500, BTC and EURUSD.
The strategy aims to trade reversals and pullbacks at clearly identifiable Keylevels (Daily High/Low, Previous High/Low, Daily Pivot, relevant Fibonacci zones such as 0.5, 0.618, 0.786).
Trading primarily takes place on the M15 timeframe, optionally also on M30 or H1, to find the best combination of signal quality and trading time.
Advantages of the Strategy
Fewer, but high-quality trades instead of continuous trading, which strengthens discipline and focus.
The use of clear Keylevels increases the probability of sustainable moves and reduces the risk of erroneous trades.
Combining technical levels with Fibonacci zones provides an objective decision basis and prevents subjective interpretations.
This approach creates a clear market logic based on quality and precise entries – ideal for traders aiming for sustainable results with fewer, but targeted trades.
Camarilla Pivots with signalsThis script plots camarilla levels, S5,S4,S3, P, R3, R4, R5. This script looks for reversals off of all support/resistance levels. A signal is generated on the 5 minute if we tap the level and get a close back below.
Liquidity Trap Detector ProLiquidity Trap Detector Pro is designed for technical traders to identify potential market reversals by detecting "liquidity traps" (also known as stop-loss hunts or sweeps), using a 5-star scoring system that analyzes wick symmetry, RSI divergence, and volume to confirm true reversal signals rather than false breakouts, helping traders avoid getting caught by sudden price movements that trap retail buyers/sellers.
Dante's SFP Detector [Visual]Concept: The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)
In modern markets, "Smart Money" often seeks liquidity by pushing price just beyond key Swing Highs or Swing Lows to trigger retail stop-losses and breakout orders. Once this liquidity is absorbed, price often reverses aggressively. This phenomenon is known as a Swing Failure Pattern (SFP).
Trading blind breakouts is dangerous. This indicator helps you identify when a breakout is actually a Trap.
What This Indicator Does
This script automatically detects and visualizes SFPs in real-time. Unlike other indicators that simply place an icon on the chart, this tool draws the exact level that was swept, allowing you to see the "Crime Scene" clearly.
It confirms an SFP only when two conditions are met:
The Sweep: Price pierces a previous Swing High or Low (grabbing liquidity).
The Rejection: The candle closes back inside the range (trapping the traders who entered on the break).
Visuals & How to Read
🩸 Bearish SFP (Short Signal):
Icon: A red drop appears above the bar.
Line: A red dashed line connects the previous High to the current wick.
Meaning: Buyers are trapped at the top. The breakout failed.
💎 Bullish SFP (Long Signal):
Icon: A gem appears below the bar.
Line: A green dashed line connects the previous Low to the current wick.
Meaning: Sellers are trapped at the bottom. The breakdown failed.
How to Trade It
Entry: Enter on the Close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place your Hard Stop just beyond the wick of the signal candle (the sweep point).
Target: Target the opposing Swing High/Low or the mid-range.
Settings
Swing Lookback (Fractal Size): Defines how far back the script looks for highs/lows.
Default (20): Best for local structure and day trading (15m, 1H charts).
Higher values (e.g., 50+): Better for finding major structural reversals on higher timeframes (4H, Daily).
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes. Always manage your risk and wait for candle closes before executing trades.

LBB Indicator - Clean Build**LBB (Liquidity-Based Bands) Indicator - Professional Trading Tool**
The LBB Indicator is a sophisticated price action tool designed for futures and forex traders who focus on liquidity sweeps and session-based analysis. This indicator automatically tracks key liquidity levels across multiple trading sessions (Asia, London, Overnight, and US Trading Day) and creates dynamic trading zones based on untested price levels. By identifying where liquidity remains uncontested, traders can better anticipate institutional order flow and potential reversals at critical price levels.
The indicator features intelligent session tracking that monitors high and low prices during each major market session, automatically freezing these levels when sessions close and making them available for analysis. These session levels are labeled with clear naming conventions (AsiaH/AsiaL, LonH/LonL, ONH/ONL, PDH/PDL) and include aging markers (D1, D2, D3) to show how long levels have remained untested. When price touches a liquidity level, it's immediately marked as "tested" with a dotted line style, ensuring traders always know which levels remain virgin and which have been swept.
The core functionality centers around dynamic zone creation during the US trading session (0500-0900 PST). Zones are built using the closest untested liquidity levels above and below the current price, creating a bounded trading range with three distinct bands: a bull zone (upper 35%), a no-trade zone (middle 30%), and a bear zone (lower 35%). The indicator includes a preview feature that shows where the next zone will form based on price position within the current bands. When a zone boundary is tested or its underlying liquidity level is swept, the zone automatically recalculates using fresh untested levels, ensuring traders are always working with valid reference points.
Advanced features include automatic level aging at the New York close (1300 PST), customizable maximum age for old levels, synthetic level generation when natural liquidity is exhausted, and time-based line rendering that maintains visual clarity across historical data. The indicator respects the freeze-test-advance lifecycle, ensuring levels can only be tested after their formation session closes, preventing false signals during active price discovery periods. With support for both standard and extended London sessions, comprehensive session overlap handling, and intelligent cleanup of tested levels, the LBB Indicator provides professional traders with a complete framework for liquidity-based trading strategies.

The ICT Silver Bullet is a precise, time-based trading strategy by Michael J. Huddleston (Inner Circle Trader) (ICT) that targets specific one-hour "kill zones" during major market sessions (London & New York) to capitalize on short-term liquidity grabs and price imbalances (Fair Value Gaps or FVGs) for quick, high-probability trades, often involving a liquidity sweep followed by a retracement into an FVG for entry. It's a scalping method focused on institutional order flow, requiring discipline to wait for specific setups within tight timeframes, like 3-4 AM (London) or 10-11 AM (NY) EST.
Target Lock Algo buy and Sell Signal by Amit NamdeoTarget Lock Algo: Professional Buy & Sell Signals
Target Lock Algo is a comprehensive, institutional-grade trading system designed to filter out market noise and provide high-probability entry signals with automated risk management. It combines Trend Flow, Market Structure (SMC), and Volatility Analysis into a single, clean interface.
Key Features
1. Precision Signal Engine
Trend-Following Logic: The core algorithm uses a smoothed Baseline to detect the dominant market flow. Signals are generated only when the trend flips (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish).
"One-Shot" Execution: To prevent overtrading, the system never issues consecutive signals in the same direction. It forces a complete trend reversal before signaling again.
Whipsaw Protection: A built-in time filter (Min Bars) prevents signals from clustering together during choppy price action.
2. Institutional Filters (The "Safety Net")
200 EMA Major Trend Filter:
Buys are only enabled when price is ABOVE the 200 EMA.
Sells are only enabled when price is BELOW the 200 EMA.
This prevents catching falling knives or buying into a crash.
ADX Chop Filter:
The system actively monitors market strength using the Average Directional Index (ADX).
If the market enters a sideways "Chop Zone" (ADX < 20), all trading signals are hard-blocked.
Visual Aid: These zones can be highlighted with Gray Boxes to warn you to stay out.
3. Automated Risk Management (Target Lock)
When a signal is generated, the algorithm automatically calculates and draws the exact trade parameters on your chart:
⚡ ENTRY: The precise closing price of the signal candle.
🛑 STOP LOSS: Dynamic stop loss calculated using Market Volatility (ATR). If the market is volatile, the stop widens; if calm, it tightens.
🎯 TP 1, 💰 TP 2, 🚀 TP 3: Three take-profit levels calculated based on strict Risk-to-Reward ratios (1.5R, 2.5R, and 3.5R).
4. Premium Visual Interface
Glassmorphism Dashboard: A modern, transparent HUD in the top-right corner displays real-time data:
Current Trend: (Bullish 🟢 / Bearish 🔴)
Market State: (Active 🔥 / Ranging 💤)
Volatility: (Live ATR value)
SMC Overlay: Subtly plots pivot points and market structure breaks in the background to give you institutional context without cluttering the signals.
High-Contrast Design: Signals appear as modern "Neon Buttons," while TP/SL lines use rich, deep colors (Deep Emerald & Crimson) for professional visibility.
How to Trade with Target Lock Algo
Check the Dashboard: Ensure the Market State says "ACTIVE 🔥". If it says "RANGE 💤", be cautious.
Wait for the Button: Look for the "BUY NOW" (Neon Green) or "SELL NOW" (Neon Red) label.
Verify the Trend:
For BUY: Price should be above the white 200 EMA line.
For SELL: Price should be below the white 200 EMA line.
Execute: Enter the trade at the ⚡ ENTRY price.
Manage: Set your Stop Loss at the 🛑 SL line and take partial profits at TP 1 and TP 2. Leave a "runner" for TP 3 if the trend is strong.

[MetaMasters] SeasonalityThe Seasonality Indicator evaluates the average historical performance of the selected asset by analyzing a user-defined number of past years (for example, the last 10).
You can adjust the number of years included in the calculation directly from the settings panel.
Using this historical window, the indicator generates an average seasonal curve that reflects how the market has typically behaved throughout each part of the year. This curve serves as a forward-looking guide, highlighting periods in which the market has historically shown consistent tendencies.
Traders can use this seasonal projection to pinpoint time periods with a higher statistical likelihood of upward or downward movement.
The indicator is especially effective when paired with the Seasonality Analysis Tool, which helps identify specific historical windows and further strengthens seasonal decision-making.
This indicator is designed exclusively for the daily timeframe, as all calculations rely on daily candle data. Other timeframes will not produce accurate seasonal structures.
Overall, the Seasonality Indicator offers a clear, data-driven view of recurring annual patterns, helping traders understand when historical tendencies may influence future price action.
SYNTAX 1.1SYNTAX is a precision-built trading indicator focused on clarity, structure, and consistency. It delivers clean chart visuals, predefined trade levels, and objective guidance that minimizes emotional interference. Designed for traders who value discipline over noise, SYNTAX helps streamline execution, reduce chart clutter, and support confident decision-making across varying market conditions.
ICT Entry V2 [TS_Indie]📌 Description – ICT Entry V2
The market structure, liquidity, FVG, and iFVG mechanisms remain the same as in Version 1.
However, the price action for order entries is different, with the positions of the FVG and iFVG swapped.
Pending orders and stop loss are placed at the iFVG.
⚙️ Core Logic & Working Mechanism
I won’t explain FVG in detail, as most traders are already familiar with it.
Let’s focus on the mechanism of iFVG instead.
The concept of iFVG is based on a supply-to-demand flip and a demand-to-supply flip within an FVG zone.
For an iFVG to be confirmed, the candle close must break through the FVG.
A wick alone does not count as a valid iFVG confirmation.
The confirmation of market structure swings uses a pivot length mechanism combined with price action.
It validates a swing by detecting a structure break formed by candles making new highs or new lows.
📈 Buy Setup
1.Liquidity sweep on the demand side, with price closing above the liquidity level.
2.A demand zone is formed as iFVG and FVG, where FVG is located above iFVG.
3.The gap between the upper box of iFVG and the lower box of FVG must be within the defined Min and Max range.
4.Market Structure must be in a Bullish trend.
5.Place a Pending Order at the upper box of iFVG and set Stop Loss at the lower box of iFVG (Entry and Stop Loss can be adjusted using Entry Zone and ATR-based Stop Loss).
📉 Sell Setup
1.Liquidity sweep on the supply side, with price closing below the liquidity level.
2.A supply zone is formed as iFVG and FVG, where FVG is located below iFVG.
3.The gap between the lower box of iFVG and the upper box of FVG must be within the defined Min and Max range.
4.Market Structure must be in a Bearish trend.
5.Place a Pending Order at the lower box of iFVG and set Stop Loss at the upper box of iFVG (Entry and Stop Loss can be adjusted using Entry Zone and ATR-based Stop Loss).
⚙️ Liquidity Sweep Conditions
➯ When a liquidity sweep occurs on the demand side, the system will start looking for Buy Setup conditions.
➯ When a liquidity sweep occurs on the supply side, the system will immediately switch to looking for Sell Setup conditions.
➯ The system will always prioritize the most recent liquidity sweep and search for setups based on that direction.
➯ The liquidity sweep condition will be invalidated when price closes back below (for demand sweep) or above (for supply sweep) the most recently swept liquidity level.
⭐ Pending Order Cancellation Conditions
A Pending Order will be canceled under the following conditions:
1.A new Price Action signal appears on either the Buy or Sell side.
2.When Time Session is enabled, the Pending Order is canceled once price exits the selected session.
🕹 Order Management Rule
When there is an active open position, the indicator restricts the creation of new Pending Orders to prevent overlapping positions.

MW Futures Liquidity ScalperMW Futures Liquidity Scalper - ICT-Inspired Algorithmic Trading
A comprehensive ICT (Inner Circle Trader) inspired strategy that automates liquidity pool detection, fair value gap (FVG) analysis, and precision entries for futures and forex markets. This strategy implements institutional trading concepts with customizable filters, multi-timeframe confirmation, and complete risk management.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Strategy Does
This strategy scans the market for areas where stop losses cluster (liquidity pools), identifies price imbalances (FVGs), and places precision entries when conditions align. It automates the "liquidity hunt" concept: tracking where institutions sweep stops before price reverses.
The key principle: Time first, then price. Configure when to trade, which liquidity to target, and how to enter - the strategy handles the rest.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How The Algorithm Works
Step 1 - Liquidity Mapping: Calculates session highs (buy-side liquidity/BSL) and lows (sell-side liquidity/SSL) at your chosen intervals
Step 2 - Bias Detection: More BSL than SSL = bearish bias. More SSL than BSL = bullish bias
Step 3 - FVG Search: Finds the first valid Fair Value Gap matching your size requirements and current bias
Step 4 - Filter Check: Validates all enabled filters (EMA, NWOG/NDOG, orderflow, correlation, macro time)
Step 5 - Entry Placement: Places limit order at FVG boundary with configured slippage
Step 6 - Exit Management: Sets take profits at opposing liquidity pools, manages trailing stops and breakeven
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔑 Core Concepts Explained
Liquidity Pools
Areas where stop losses cluster - above swing highs (BSL/blue lines) or below swing lows (SSL/red lines). Institutions often sweep these zones before reversing. Darker colors indicate pools that have been purged.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Price imbalances from aggressive moves where 3-candle wicks don't overlap. These act as entry zones. Green = bullish, Red = bearish, Blue = invalid/neutral.
First Presentation
The first FVG after session start (Asia 18:30, London 00:30, NY AM 09:30, NY PM 13:30 NY time). Used until the next session begins.
2022 Model
Only searches for FVGs after a liquidity pool is purged. Loops backward from the sweep to find the enabling FVG - often used for IFVG (Inverse FVG) trades.
Volume Imbalance
When candle bodies don't touch within an FVG, extends the FVG boundaries for more precise entries.
Premium/Discount
Above 50% of a range = premium (favorable for shorts). Below 50% = discount (favorable for longs).

📈 Optimization Tips
Focus on ONE trading model - don't combine everything
Trade high-liquidity sessions (NY open is most active)
Optimize in stages: time → filters → stoploss → trailing → avoidance
Use realistic commission and slippage settings
Avoid over-optimization - keep models simple
Test across multiple market conditions

⚠️ Risk Considerations
Execution Risk: Fast markets can cause slippage beyond settings
False Signals: Not all FVGs lead to profitable trades
Time Sensitivity: Liquidity concepts work best during active sessions
Market Conditions: Performance varies in trending vs ranging markets
Capital Risk: Futures require appropriate margin and risk capital
Leverage: Futures amplify both gains and losses
Over-Optimization: Past performance does not guarantee future results
