SPX Mapped Gaps [Mxwll]Hello traders 👋
This indicator "SPX Mapped Gaps" detects gaps from the SPX (or the trader's choice of index/asset) and plots them for the asset on your chart!
Features
Selectable comparison symbol
Gaps from the selected symbol (SPX by default) are plotted for the asset on your chart - serving as potential support/resistance levels!
Closest gaps from comparison symbol displayed in upper-right table
Overlapped gaps deleted automatically - less clutter!
How this script works
The "SPX Mapped Gaps" is designed to help traders determine price levels for the asset on their chart where a major index (any asset) gapped up or down.
Of course, a gap that occurs on SPX (4-digit price) is incompatible with the price chart of BTC (5-digit price). To circumvent this, the percentage distance of the gap from SPX is determined, and a gap level is drawn equidistantly (up/down) from the open price of the asset on your chart. With this method, the proportion of the gap is maintained at the price area it occurred for the asset on your chart!
The image above outlines functionality for the indicator!
Key points:
Up gaps are denoted by green boxes
Down gaps are denoted by red boxes
All gaps are listed with their start and end price for the comparison asset (SPX for the example). These labels can be hidden at the user's discretion.
Gaps are expected to act as support/resistance during their lifetime
The image above explains the output of the script, including line style indications!
Solid lines indicate that the leverage used for at your entry price constitutes an active trade. Dotted lines mean the trade has already achieved your profit target for that leverage, or stopped out.
The image above explains the table attached to the indicator!
This table displays the closest gaps to the current asset price. The status (up gap or down gap) from the gap to the current price is also detailed.
Why are gaps on the SPX, or major index, relevant to BTC and other assets?
When a gap on the major indices occurs, it's expected that strong aggregate buying or selling pressure will transpire for BTC and other coins. Due to this, the presence of a gap on a major index might correspond to increased activity on smaller market-cap assets with some degree of positive correlation to the index. Consequently, the price level for the asset at which a gap for the major index occurred may function as support/resistance for future price!
That is all for this - thanks traders!
Support and Resistance [CryptoSea]The Support and Resistance Indicator is a powerful tool developed by CryptoSea for traders seeking to identify key market levels with precision. This script leverages advanced pivot and volume analysis to highlight support and resistance zones on the price chart.
Key Features
Multi-Source Pivot Analysis: Choose between wicks or body prices for calculating pivot points, providing flexibility in market analysis.
Volume Spike Detection: Automatically identifies volume spikes using a customizable threshold multiplier, enhancing the accuracy of support and resistance levels.
Dynamic Box Display: Configurable options for extending and graying out boxes based on price interaction, ensuring a clear visual representation of active and invalidated zones.
In the example below, we see a resistance box formed based on wick highs and a volume spike. The box extends to where we see price rejecting from it. In the settings you can change this so the box will stop if price touches it if you prefer.
How it Works
Pivot Point Calculation: The script determines pivot highs and lows using either wicks or body prices over a specified term (Short, Medium, Long), corresponding to 5, 15, or 30 bars.
Volume Analysis: Calculates average volume over twice the pivot length and identifies volume spikes exceeding the user-defined threshold, crucial for confirming support and resistance levels.
Box Management: Maintains arrays of support and resistance boxes, limiting the number based on user settings (All, Recent Few, Recent Several).
Settings Explained
Source: Choose between 'Wicks' or 'Bodies' to determine whether pivot points are calculated using candle wicks or body prices.
Pivot Term: Select 'Short' (5 bars), 'Medium' (15 bars), or 'Long' (30 bars) to adjust the distance for pivot calculation. Longer terms take more bars to confirm support/resistance.
Volume Threshold (multiplier): Set a multiplier of average volume to detect volume spikes, essential for validating support/resistance levels.
Extend Until Price Hits: Enable this to extend support/resistance boxes until the price touches them, providing dynamic levels.
Gray Out Boxes Once Hit: Enable this to gray out the boxes once the price interacts with them, indicating that they are no longer active.
Max Boxes Displayed: Choose 'All', 'Recent Few' (up to 3 boxes each for bull and bear), or 'Recent Several' (up to 10 boxes each for bull and bear) to control the number of visible boxes.
Invalidate Condition: Select 'Touch' to invalidate a box when the price touches it or 'Through' to invalidate when the price passes entirely through the box.
Candle Colors: Option to color candles based on neutral, bullish, or bearish conditions for easier visual analysis.
Application
Strategic Planning: Assists traders in pinpointing potential entry and exit points by marking significant support and resistance zones.

Liquidations [ChartPrime]Liquidations Indicator:
The Liquidations indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify significant liquidation levels in financial markets. By analyzing volume data over a specified lookback period, the indicator highlights potential areas where market participants with high leverage positions may face liquidation, providing valuable insights into market dynamics.
Usage:
Traders can use the Liquidations indicator to:
◈ Identify liquidity grab opportunities: Liquidation levels often attract price action as market participants with leveraged positions face the risk of forced liquidation. Traders can anticipate price movements as the market aims to trigger these stops, potentially leading to rapid price movements or reversals.
◈ Confirm trend strength: A cluster of liquidation levels in the same direction as the prevailing trend may confirm the strength of the trend, while divergences between liquidation levels and price movements may signal potential trend reversals.
Settings:
◈ Previous Value Bars Back: Specifies the number of previous bars used in calculating the liquidation levels.
◈ Show Leverage: Allows users to selectively display liquidation levels for different leverage multiples, including 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, and 100x.
◈ Liquidation Levels Width: Sets the width of the lines representing liquidation levels on the chart.
◈ Short Liquidations Color: Specifies the color of the lines representing short liquidation levels.
◈ Long Liquidations Color: Specifies the color of the lines representing long liquidation levels.
◈ Bar Color: Sets the color of the background bar when the indicator is active.
Visual Representation:
◈ Liquidation levels are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, with different colors representing short and long liquidation levels.
◈ Each liquidation level is labeled with the corresponding leverage multiple (e.g., 5x, 10x, etc.).
A dashboard displays the active liquidation levels for each leverage multiple, allowing traders to quickly assess the current market conditions.
◈ Time Window allows users to cut off unnecessary part of the chart and concentrate on a current active part of the chart to make better trading decisions:
Interpretation:
Market participants tend to place stop-loss orders near liquidation levels , creating clusters of pending orders. As price approaches these levels, it may trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders, providing liquidity for market orders and potentially leading to rapid price movements in the opposite direction.
Traders can anticipate price reversals or accelerations as price interacts with liquidation levels, using them as reference points for identifying potential entry or exit opportunities.
Note:
While the Liquidations indicator provides valuable insights into market dynamics, traders should use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Periodic OHLHere is another experience on working with 'time' variable :)
This script generates potential support and resistance levels based on daily, weekly, and monthly open, high, and low prices. In such indicators, security calls produce effective results. However, similar tasks can also be performed by built-in variables. This script serves as an example of how alternative methods can be constructed.
The originality of the indicator is based on its ability to visualise the current open, high and low prices from the bar at which they occur. You can also display levels simultaneously.
I hope it helps everyone...

Mathematical Background:
Monthly and Weekly Extremums:
The indicator calculates the High (H) and Low (L) of the previous month and week, ensuring accurate representation of these key levels.
Standard Monthly Pivot Point:
The standard pivot point is determined based on the previous month's data using the formula:
PivotPoint = (PrevMonthHigh + PrevMonthLow + Close ) / 3
Monthly Pivot Points (R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3):
Additional pivot points are calculated for Resistances (R) and Supports (S) using the monthly data:
R1 = 2 * PivotPoint - PrevMonthLow
S1 = 2 * PivotPoint - PrevMonthHigh
R2 = PivotPoint + (PrevMonthHigh - PrevMonthLow)
S2 = PivotPoint - (PrevMonthHigh - PrevMonthLow)
R3 = PrevMonthHigh + 2 * (PivotPoint - PrevMonthLow)
S3 = PrevMonthLow - 2 * (PrevMonthHigh - PivotPoint)
---
Code Explanation and Interpretation:
The table displayed beneath the chart provides the following information:
Monthly Extremums:
(H) High of the previous month
(L) Low of the previous month
// Function to get the high and low of the previous month
getPrevMonthHighLow() =>

var float prevMonthLow = na
monthChanged = month(time) != month(time )
if (monthChanged)
prevMonthHigh := high
prevMonthLow := low
Weekly Extremums:
(H) High of the previous week
(L) Low of the previous week
// Function to get the high and low of the previous week
getPrevWeekHighLow() =>
var float prevWeekHigh = na
var float prevWeekLow = na
weekChanged = weekofyear(time) != weekofyear(time )
if (weekChanged)
prevWeekHigh := high
prevWeekLow := low
Monthly Pivots:
Pivot: Standard pivot point based on the previous month's data
// Function to calculate the standard pivot point based on the previous month's data
getStandardPivotPoint() =>
= getPrevMonthHighLow()
pivotPoint = (prevMonthHigh + prevMonthLow + close ) / 3
Resistances:
R3, R2, R1: Monthly resistance levels
// Function to calculate additional pivot points based on the monthly data
getMonthlyPivotPoints() =>
= getPrevMonthHighLow()
pivotPoint = (prevMonthHigh + prevMonthLow + close ) / 3
r1 = (2 * pivotPoint) - prevMonthLow
s1 = (2 * pivotPoint) - prevMonthHigh
r2 = pivotPoint + (prevMonthHigh - prevMonthLow)
s2 = pivotPoint - (prevMonthHigh - prevMonthLow)
r3 = prevMonthHigh + 2 * (pivotPoint - prevMonthLow)
s3 = prevMonthLow - 2 * (prevMonthHigh - pivotPoint)

Delta Zones Buy/Sell PressureScript Description:
Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator
Description:
The "Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure" indicator, created by the original author "scarf", is a technical tool that unveils key areas of buying and selling pressure in the market. This indicator utilizes the concept of Delta, calculating differences between open, close, high, and low prices. When these differences exceed a threshold determined by the user-defined standard deviation, areas of intense buying (indicated by green boxes) and selling pressure (indicated by red boxes) on the chart are identified.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates Delta using various combinations of candle prices to determine buying and selling pressure. When Delta surpasses a certain level, indicated by the user-defined standard deviation, visual signals in the form of boxes on the chart are generated. These boxes highlight specific areas where buying or selling pressure is particularly strong, aiding traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market.
How to Use:
* When a green box is drawn, it indicates strong buying pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider long positions.
* When a red box is drawn, it indicates strong selling pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider short positions.
* Use these signals in combination with your own analysis and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Originality:
What makes this indicator original is its unique approach to identifying specific areas of buying and selling pressure. By calculating Delta in multiple ways and utilizing standard deviation as a filter, this indicator provides clear and concise visual signals about market activity. The combination of these features distinguishes it as a valuable tool for traders seeking a better understanding of market behavior. This modification differs from the original by displaying the information on the price chart with horizontal bars, below each delta, instead of an oscillator at the bottom similar to the volume indicator.
Final Recommendations:
Consider Market Trends:
Before making any trading decisions using the Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator, it is crucial to analyze the prevailing market trends. Assess the overall direction of the market, whether it's trending upward, downward, or moving sideways. Align your trades with the dominant trend to increase the probability of successful outcomes. The indicator's signals can be more reliable when they align with the broader market trend.
Evaluate Macro-Economic Factors:
Additionally, take into account macro-economic factors that could influence price movements. Factors such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, interest rate decisions, and global market sentiments can significantly impact the financial markets. Stay updated with relevant news and economic reports to anticipate potential market shifts. Understanding the broader economic context can help you interpret the indicator's signals within a more informed framework.
Practice Risk Management:
Regardless of the signals provided by the Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator, always implement effective risk management strategies. This includes setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and only risking a small percentage of your trading capital on each trade. By managing your risk, you can protect your investments and ensure longevity in the market, even during volatile periods.
Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
Financial markets are dynamic and constantly evolving. Continuously educate yourself about new trading strategies, technical analysis tools, and economic developments. Stay open to adapting your trading approach based on changing market conditions. Regularly reviewing your trading strategy and adjusting it according to your experiences and market feedback can significantly enhance your trading performance over the long term.
Seek Professional Advice if Necessary:
If you are uncertain about specific market trends, indicators, or economic factors, don't hesitate to seek guidance from financial advisors or professionals. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and help you make well-informed decisions, especially in complex or uncertain market environments.
By incorporating these recommendations into your trading approach, you can enhance your decision-making process, mitigate risks, and increase your overall chances of successful trading outcomes. Remember, the key to successful trading lies not only in the tools you use but also in your ability to interpret them within the broader market context.
blackOrb ZoneBuying near the bottom and selling near the peak can be a challenging trading approach. However, it all begins with the ability to identify these essential zones. This indicator is targeting support and resistance with heightened accuracy. It utilizes features like:
I. Multi-Level Weighting for Enhanced Support and Resistance Zones
II. Vertical Zone Range Adjustment for Enhanced Price Level Identification
III. High-Time Frame for Solid Macro Validation
IV. Projection Function for Informed Trade Management
V. Automatic Level Identification for Pinpointing Potential Order Positions
VI. Customizable Pivot Analysis for Accurate Zone Identifications
Technical Methodology
I. Multi-Level Weighting for Enhanced Support and Resistance Zones
Support and resistance are more accurately represented as wider zones rather than singular lines. In practical application, relevant support or resistance levels often converge around a central mean-weighted level within a zone.
This indicator visually represents these zones by calculating values from open, high, low, and close prices, accentuating them through varying opacities. Higher opacity within an area indicates a higher likelihood of it serving as a relevant support or resistance level.
Multiple mean options within the settings menu encompass weighted average calculations that utilize different combinations of price data within the relevant pivot analysis phase. This versatility allows users to target pertinent levels within a zone. For instance, when employing hlcc4 price data, the calculation is as follows:
mean_price_hlcc4 = (high + low + close + close) / 4
II. Vertical Zone Range Adjustment for Enhanced Price Level Identification
This feature enables users to precisely adjust the vertical zone range for price references within potential support or resistance phases. For instance, decreasing the reference setting results in a more granular validation within a narrower range. This creates vertically thinner zones with increased price level precision, although it may offer a less comprehensive perspective.
III. High-Time Frame for Solid Macro Validation
The indicator enhances pivot points, potentially in conjunction with high-time frame validation, to identify significant price zones with heightened confirmation strength driven by volume. Higher time frames provide more extensive volume verification, for instance, comparing the 4-hour to the 24-hour timeframe (a multiple of six).
This feature involves cross-referencing data from higher time frames, heightening the reliability of support and resistance zones and providing valuable insights into potential trading interest levels.
Technically, the indicator applies the identical rigorous analysis to both lower and higher time frames. This approach facilitates a more comprehensive perspective and aids in the clearer identification of overarching macro support and resistance levels, even when focusing on smaller timeframes. For instance, a potential support zone identified on the daily time frame can gain higher confidence when confirmed on a weekly chart.
IV. Projection Function for Informed Trade Management
The projection function visually extends the most recent analysis of support and resistance zones forward, in accordance with the user's configured parameters.
By displaying precise price values at these visualized support and resistance levels, this indicator offers valuable assistance in decision-making, particularly when planning real-time orders or when engaged in an active trade management phase (e.g., for the purpose of adjusting stop-loss levels post-entry).
Note: This function is based on historical data. It may not account for unforeseen market events. It's important to complement this feature with ongoing analysis of real-time market data.
V. Automatic Level Identification for Pinpointing Potential Order Positions
It is empirically observed that traders frequently position orders at price levels that conform to quantized values due to cognitive biases.*
Consequently, blackOrb Zone not only facilitates the identification of pertinent levels within a weighted zone but also features an "auto" functionality designed to analyze price dynamics in the proximity of these relevant levels. The objective is to identify discrete values in close vicinity, which exhibit a higher likelihood of serving as authentic support and resistance zones.
This processing approach assists traders in precisely locating the central mean-weighted level within a given zone and identifies proximate quantized levels.
Note: This method becomes especially relevant during phases of price retesting, where market participants converge, contributing to a further refinement of levels, indicative of an asymmetric balance between supply and demand.
*Source: Prof. Mitchell, Jason. "Clustering and Psychological Barriers: The Importance of Numbers." Journal of Futures Markets, vol. 21, no. 5, 2001, pp. 395-428.
VI. Customizable Pivot Analysis for Accurate Zone Identifications
The indicator employs pivot points to pinpoint key price zones where price dynamics could encounter buying or selling pressure.
Essential components of this method involve comparing time units both to the left and right within a designated phase of support or resistance, effectively defining the search range for pivotal points.
For instance, in the analysis below, the search is for the highest price point that hasn't been surpassed within a certain resistance zone in the last 10 time units to the left and 10 time units to the right:
ta.pivothigh(10, 10)
Potential Trade Management Applications of blackOrb Zone
- Reversal Trading : Robust support zones with bullish signals can indicate opportune moments for buying or long position entries, whereas confirmed resistance zones can be identified for selling or short position entries.
- Breakout Trading : Anticipating price surges as price breach support or resistance level. A resistance breakout can signal a bullish price dynamic, while a support breakdown may suggest a bearish price dynamic.
- Range Trading : In lateral sideways markets, users can capitalize on support zones for buying and resistance zones for selling, profiting from price fluctuations.
- Take-Profit Management : For buying or long positions, resistance zones can be identified to determine suitable take-profit levels either within or near these zones - for short positions, vice versa with support zones.
- Stop-Loss Management : For buying or long positions, support zones can be identified to determine appropriate stop-loss levels beneath these zones - for short positions, vice versa with resistance zones to determine stop-loss levels above these zones.

TwV Dynamic Multi-Timeframe Supports and ResistancesDynamic Multi-timeframe Supports and Resistances
This indicator is designed to be able to get used in combination with others that can lead to a potential help for trading.
The indicator uses colors such us light blue, dark blue, light red and dark red. Light blue and light red to indicate whether we are looking at a support or resistance for the multi-timeframe and dark blue and dark red to indicate whether we are looking at a support or resistance for the current chart’s timeframe.
The indicator is multi-timeframe because the trader can configure within the menu a background timeframe, which plots new supports and resistances according to the timeframe selected. Therefore, traders can use daily or 4H supports and resistances in a 1H graph or lower. (Just as an example)
The Supports' and Resistances' for the different timeframes are clearly identified with a label at the specific candle where they are coming from.
Most Supports & Resistances indicators need to be adjusted to a FIXED LOOKBACK PERIOD , I made an improvement and different by giving the indicator the ability to identify the bars that are being LOOK AT IN THE SCREEN , this really gives traders the possibility and agility to identify potential support and resistance areas without the need to be changing any settings on the indicator. Just change the Fixed/Dynamic setting indicator to start using this great functionality.
Fundamentals
Support and resistance are two foundational concepts in technical analysis. Understanding what these terms mean and their practical application is essential to correctly reading price charts.
Prices move because of supply and demand. When demand is greater than supply, prices rise. When supply is greater than demand, prices fall. Sometimes, prices will move sideways as both supply and demand are in equilibrium.
Like many concepts in technical analysis, the explanation and rationale behind technical concepts are relatively easy, but mastery in their application often takes years of practice.
Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to identify price points on a chart where the probabilities favor a pause or reversal of a prevailing trend.
Support occurs where a downtrend is expected to pause due to a concentration of demand.
Resistance occurs where an uptrend is expected to pause temporarily, due to a concentration of supply.
Support and resistance areas can be identified on charts using trendlines and moving averages.
Summary Panel
This panel allows the trader to have a summary of the values of the supports and resistances. It has the following characteristics:
Can be placed anywhere in the chart.
Its size can be modified to fit any type of screens including mobile
The summary box the high and low prices for the supports and resistances.
Script’s Basics
The idea behind the script is to find out Long-term levels are used to help predict large price reversals marking the start and completion of price movements on longer timelines such as the daily or weekly charts, to achieve this the script uses K-Means clustering to identify long-term support and resistance levels.
K-means clustering is one of the most popular algorithms, the objective of K-means is to group similar data points together and discover underlying patterns. To achieve this objective, K-means looks for a fixed number (k) of clusters in a dataset.
A cluster refers to a collection of data points aggregated together because of certain similarities. For this, a target number k has to be defined, which refers to the number of centroids it is needed in the dataset.
Every data point is allocated to each of the clusters through reducing the in-cluster sum of squares.
In other words, it identifies the k number of centroids and then allocates every data point to the nearest cluster, while keeping the centroids as small as possible.
Support Resistance Classification (VR) [LuxAlgo]The Support Resistance Classification (VR) indicator shows SR levels on any chart's visible range using higher time-frame data (HTF). Levels are classified 1 through 10 based on their strength, with lower values indicating stronger support/resistance levels.
This indicator uses visible range functionality, whereas if you adjust your chart to show previous price data, the indicator may show new levels.
🔶 USAGE
Certain indicators on higher timeframes can provide longer term support/resistance levels on lower timeframes. Users can use the provided levels on a chart visible range and use them as reference for future support/resistance levels.
The classification algorithm measures the strength of a support/resistance level using the entire chart visible range and is in a range of 1 to 10, with higher values indicating a weaker support/resistance.
Supports/resistances highlighted by the indicator can be used for future applications by marking them on the chart (quickly done with alt + h).
🔶 DETAILS
All calculations are based on what you see on the Visible Chart, as such changing the chart will recalculate the indicator.
Since only Swings which are not broken are included, every break would exclude that swing. Therefore, even when 'value' is chosen at Settings ('Value'), breaks are always calculated on the entire line.
🔶 SETTINGS
Fade: After x breaks the line becomes invisible
Value:
value:
• SMA, upper/lower: the breaks are triggered on the moving average itself
• Fibonacci Pivot Point levels, Previous High, Previous Low: only last HTF values can be used for breaks
• Swings (see SWING SETTINGS)
line:
• SMA, upper/lower: the breaks are triggered on the entire line, based on its latest value
• Fibonacci Pivot Point Levels, Previous High, Previous Low: breaks are triggered on the entire line, based on its latest value
• Swings (see SWING SETTINGS)
🔹 Swing Settings
Swings are always calculated at current timeframe, setting a HTF is not applicable on Swings.
Left/Right: for Swing calculation ( pivothigh , pivotlow )
Show: enables you to see the pivot points
🔹 Set
N°: The concerning number
TYPE:
• SMA (Simple Moving Average)
• Previous High/Low
• Upper/Lower ( Bollinger Bands )
• Pivot Point levels : "Fibonacci"
LENGTH: sets the 'Number of bars', needed for calculations (applicable for SMA, upper/lower)
MULT: sets the 'Standard deviation factor' (only applicable for upper/lower - BB)
HTF: sets 'Higher Time Frame' (applicable for SMA, upper/lower, Previous High/Low, Fibonacci)
🔹 Show Values
You can make up to 5 values visible (if you want to check/verify), except for Swings (see SWING SETTINGS)
To do so, enable (A -> E), and choose the N° you want to see.
This also is a useful tool if you're not sure which value you want to set.
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity [LuxAlgo]The Buyside & Sellside Liquidity indicator aims to detect & highlight the first and arguably most important concept within the ICT trading methodology, Liquidity levels.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Liquidity Levels
Detection Length: Lookback period
Margin: Sets margin/sensitivity for a liquidity level detection
🔹 Liquidity Zones
Buyside Liquidity Zones: Enables display of the buyside liquidity zones.
Margin: Sets margin/sensitivity for the liquidity zone boundaries.
Color: Color option for buyside liquidity levels & zones.
Sellside Liquidity Zones: Enables display of the sellside liquidity zones.
Margin: Sets margin/sensitivity for the liquidity zone boundaries.
Color: Color option for sellside liquidity levels & zones.
🔹 Liquidity Voids
Liquidity Voids: Enables display of both bullish and bearish liquidity voids.
Label: Enables display of a label indicating liquidity voids.
🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last 500 bars and Historical assumes all data available to the user
# Visible Levels: Controls the amount of the liquidity levels/zones to be visualized.
🔶 USAGE
Definitions of Liquidity refer to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity mainly relates to stop losses or pending orders and liquidity level/pool, highlighting a concentration of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Smart money traders, such as banks and other large institutions, often target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
There are two types of liquidity; Buyside liquidity and Sellside liquidity .
Buyside liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned, and Sellside liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-biased traders will place their stops.
These areas often act as support or resistance levels and can provide trading opportunities.
When the liquidity levels are breached at which many stop/limit orders are placed have been traded through, the script will create a zone aiming to provide additional insight to figure out the odds of the next price action.
Reversal: It’s common that the price may reverse course and head in the opposite direction, seeking liquidity at the opposite extreme.
Continuation: When the zone is also broken it is a sign for continuation price action.
It's worth noting that ICT concepts are specific to the methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston and may not align with other trading approaches or strategies.
🔶 DETAILS
Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Liquidity level is detected/updated.
Liquidity level is breached.

Bar Move Probability (BMP)Hello fellow traders! I am excited to share with you my latest creation, the Bar Move Probability (BMP) indicator. This powerful tool is designed to give you a statistical edge in your trading by helping you understand the likelihood of price movements based on historical data. In this blog post, I'll give you an overview of the indicator, its features, and how it can help you make more informed trading decisions. Let's dive in!
What is the Bar Move Probability Indicator?
The Bar Move Probability (BMP) indicator is a unique tool that calculates the probability of a bar's price movement, either up or down, based on past occurrences of similar price movements. This can give you valuable insights into the potential direction of the market, allowing you to make better-informed trading decisions.
One of the key features of the BMP indicator is that it allows you to choose the price you want to determine the probability of. By inputting your desired price, the indicator will analyze historical data and provide you with the likelihood of reaching that price, offering a more personalized approach to trading.
How Does the BMP Indicator Work?
The BMP indicator calculates the probability of a bar's price movement by comparing the current price change (in percentage) to historical price changes. It does this by maintaining separate arrays for green (bullish) and red (bearish) price movements, as well as corresponding arrays for the count of each movement.
Whenever a new bar is formed, the indicator checks whether the price movement (in percentage) is already present in the respective array. If it is, the corresponding count is updated. Otherwise, a new entry is added to the array, with an initial count of 1.
After analyzing the historical data, the BMP indicator calculates the probability of each price movement by dividing the count of each movement by the sum of all counts. These probabilities are then stored in separate arrays for green and red movements.
Finally, the indicator displays the probability of the current price movement as a label on the chart. The label is color-coded, with green indicating a bullish price movement and red indicating a bearish price movement.
How Can the BMP Indicator Benefit Your Trading?
The primary benefit of the BMP indicator is its ability to provide you with a statistical edge in your trading. By analyzing historical price data, the indicator helps you understand the likelihood of a certain price movement occurring, allowing you to make more informed decisions about your trades.
The customizable nature of the BMP indicator, allowing you to input your desired price, makes it a valuable tool for traders with specific price targets in mind. By understanding the probability of reaching your target price, you can better manage your risk and optimize your trading strategy.
For example, suppose the BMP indicator shows a high probability of a bullish price movement towards your target price. In that case, you may consider entering a long position or tightening your stop loss on an existing short position. Conversely, if the indicator displays a high probability of a bearish price movement away from your target price, you may consider entering a short position or taking profit on an existing long position.
The BMP indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to further strengthen your trading strategy. For example, you can combine the BMP indicator with support and resistance levels, trend lines, and moving averages to better time your entries and exits.
Wrapping Up
In conclusion, the Bar Move Probability (BMP) indicator is a powerful and customizable tool that can help you gain a statistical edge in your trading. By analyzing historical price data and allowing you to input your desired price, the indicator provides valuable insights into the likelihood of price movements, enabling you to make better-informed trading decisions.
I hope you find the BMP indicator useful
Range Sentiment Profile [LuxAlgo]The Range Sentiment Profile indicator is inspired from the volume profile and aims to indicate the degree of bullish/bearish variations within equidistant price areas inside the most recent price range.
The most bullish/bearish price areas are highlighted through lines extending over the entire range.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Most recent bars used for the calculation of the indicator.
Rows: Number of price areas the price range is divided into.
Use Intrabar: Use intrabar data to compute the range sentiment profile.
Timeframe: Intrabar data timeframe.
🔶 USAGE
This tool can be used to easily determine if a certain price area contain more significant bullish or bearish price variations. This is done by obtaining an estimate of the accumulation of all the close to open variations occurring within a specific profile area.
A blue range background indicates a majority of bullish variations within each area while an orange background indicates a majority of bearish variations within each area.
Users can easily identify the areas with the most bullish/bearish price variations by looking at the bullish/bearish maximums.
It can be of interest to see where profile bins might have no length, these can indicate price areas with price variations with alternating signs (bullish variations are followed by a bearish sign) and similar body. They can also indicate a majority of either bullish or bearish variations alongside a minority of more significant opposite variations.
These areas can also provide support/resistance, as such price entering these areas could reverse.
Users can obtain more precise results by allowing the profile to use intrabar data. This will change the calculation of the profile, see the details section for more information.
🔶 DETAILS
The Range Sentiment Profile's design is similar to the way a volume profile is constructed.
First the maximum/minimum values over the most recent Length bars are obtained, these define the calculation range of the profile.
The range is divided into Rows equidistant areas. We then see if price lied within a specific area, if it's the case we accumulate the difference between the closing and opening price for that specific area.
Let d = close - open . The length of the bin associated to a specific area is determined as follows:
length = Width / 100 * Area / Max
Where Area is the accumulated d within the area, and Max the maximum value between the absolute value of each accumulated d of all areas.
The percentage visible on each bin is determined as 100 multiplied by the accumulated d within the area divided by the total absolute value of d over the entire range.
🔹 Intrabar Calculation
When using intrabar data the range sentiment profile is calculated differently.
For a specific area and candle within the interval, the accumulated close to open difference is accumulated only if the intrabar candle of the user selected timeframe lies within the area.
This can return more precise results compared to the standard method, at the cost of a higher computation time.
The Perfect Support & ResistanceSupport & Resistance drawn based on overbought & oversold RSI . where the overbought acts as resistance and oversold acts as support.
It has 2 levels (for support and resistance - i call them level_n_high or level_n_low) for each lookback period. it checks the highest pivot and the lowest pivot based on the lookback period then we compare if rsi is higher than the highest pivot or the lowest pivot and we also check if rsi is overbought or oversold and if the statement is true, then we assign the high to the variable level_n_high or level_n_low. n being the number of levels. in total there are 5 levels with both high & low for 5 lookback periods. This is basically how the code works.
these levels can be accessed at any timeframe. the defaults are 5m and 30m.
RSI settings: (default)
-------------------

PSAR-Support ResistanceParabolic Support Resistance -PSAR SR is based on the Dynamic Reversal Points of Price. This indicator eliminates the false signals of regular Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse). The Price of previous SAR Reversal point is plotted as Support and Resistance. The idea is to trade only after the previous reversal point is crossed and a new candle formation above / below the support resistance lines.
Price moves sideways in between the S/R Lines mostly.
Buy and Sell Signals are based on normal P-SAR settings however this S/R must be considered. Please be aware that the indicator cannot be used as a stand alone. Please make required confirmations before going into action.
Disclaimer: Please use it at your own Risk.
Support and Resistancewhat is "Support and Resistance"?
it is a support and resistance indicator.
what it does?
it draw support and resistance zones on the chart.
how it does it?
It determines the zones where the price leaves with a big candle after going horizontal for a while as support or resistance zones according to the price movement direction. while doing this, it compares the size of the candles and the elapsed time.
how to use it?
Red zones represent resistance and green zones represent support. You can buy in the support zone or sell in the resistance zone. my advice is to make your own interpretation by taking into account the price movement with different indicators. they are considered useful if there is a closure beyond the zones. otherwise, they continue to be shifted to the right.
notice: As new zones are created, old ones may disappear. so it might be wise to draw boxes using drawing tools where the old zones are.
Support and resistance are very important concepts for technical analysis. so I am thinking of updating and improving this indicator many times in the long run. but I couldn't wait long to post it.
examples:

Ywaves S/RYwaves identifies areas of extreme volatility that are out of the ordinary and highlights them for the trader. These areas are de facto areas of great interest for the market and therefore areas to monitor and work on. Thanks to a smoothing formula, it eliminates false positives that are sometimes too frequent and inconsistent.
This script uniquness reside in the formula used to determine the supports and resistances, by using multiple volatility tools, it is able to eliminate false positives and only keep interesting S/R.
The blue and orange S/Rs (secondary S/Rs) are echoes of the green/red S/Rs (main S/Rs) that are close (to the current price) to the past. There are a maximum of 5 levels of secondary S/R on either side of the price. The intensity of the color and the strength of the line also gives information about the proximity and importance of the S/R. When the blue/orange dots are connected, it means that it is the same S/R from the past that continues to be at the same level.
It is possible to use Ywaves in several ways: by using the main S/R, secondary S/R or clusters formed by the different S/R. Of course, the trader is free to work on other ways of using them. Thanks to the different settings, the trader can quickly display the supports and resistances close (in terms of price) to the past. The objective is once again to simplify the trader's life on a daily basis.
PA Swings [TTA]Hello traders!
This script helps identify swing high levels of resistance and swing low levels of support via price action.
The indicator is designed to help identify support and resistance by measuring retracements. When the retracement has reached the threshold, the indicator identifies the high or low with a horizontal, solid line.
This line will continue until it is violated. Once it is violated it will adjust to a dashed line and continue until it is violated again (retested).
Therefore, a solid line resembles an unviolated swing level; a dashed line resembles a violated swing level that has yet to be retested.
Ideally, this script will filter some movements by identifying impulses in the market. Knowing that price is in a trending move rather than bouncing around in a range can help traders in their analysis. In range bound conditions the indicator will show small impulses, sometimes trapped by a support and/or resistance line. In trending markets there will be separation between the support and resistance lines.
Retests are also identified by the indicator.
Retests of swing highs and lows may induce precise, repeatable price moves - something a trader might find advantageous. A log is included to help identify potential price levels based on historical actions when an impulse or a retest occurs.
Consequently, this may help traders identify take-profit targets and avoid stop losses that are too close to the entry point.
The indicator has a color identity panel to help you get familiar with the colored lines, line types, and what they mean. The color panel is concealable. Additional customization options are available, such as toggling the chart labels. These labels distinguish impulses up and down, retests, and the distance price has traveled since breaking or creating a support or resistance level.
This can be toggled off. A High-Volume Swings only option is available for those that wish to filter out low volume movements (such as extended market hours).
You also have the option of hiding far away lines and can define what is “far away” for them % wise. It is defaulted to 15% which may need to be adjusted on lower timeframes.
Inactive lines can be shown or they can be removed in the settings as well. While this indicator can find some great levels of support or resistance it is important to remember that, should you find this script helpful, it is a tool in your toolbox!! (:
Hope you enjoy and thank you for checking this out!
Psychological levels (Bank levels) PsychoLevels v2 - TartigradiaPsychological levels (Bank levels) plots "round" price levels above and below current price, by truncating after the nth leftmost digits, based on neuroscience research of how humans intuitively calculate in logarithms.
Psychological levels, also called bank levels, are "round" price numbers around which price often experience resistance or support, because traders and investors tend to set orders around these round numbers.
Calculation here is fully automatic and dynamic, contrary to other similar scripts, this one uses a mathematical calculation that extracts the 1, 2 or 3 leftmost digits and calculate the previous and next level by incrementing/decrementing these digits. This means it works for any symbol under any price range.
This approach is based on neuroscience research, which found that human brains intuitively approximate numbers on a logarithmic scale, adults and children alike, and similarly to macaques, for more info see Numerical Cognition , Weber-Fechner Law , Zipf law.
For example, if price is at 0.0421, the next major price level is 0.05 and medium one is 0.043. For another asset currently priced at 19354, the next and previous major price levels are 20000 and 10000 respectively, and the next/previous medium levels are 20000 and 19000, and the next/previous weak levels are 19400 and 19300.
Usage:
* By default, strong upper level is in green, strong lower level is in red, medium upper level is in blue, medium lower level is in yellow, and weak levels aren't displayed but can be. Half levels are also displayed, in a darker color. Strong levels are increments of the first leftmost digit (eg, 10000 to 20000), medium levels are increments of the second leftmost digit (eg, 19000 to 20000), and weak levels of the third leftmost digit (eg, 19100 to 19200). Instead of plotting all the psychological levels all at once as a grid, which makes the chart unintelligible, here the levels adapt dynamically around the current price, so that they show the upper/lower levels relatively to the current price.
* A simple moving average is implemented, so that "half-levels" are also displayed when relevant (eg, medium level can also display 19500 instead of only 19000 or 20000). This can be disabled by setting smoothing to 1.
* By default, the script runs on the daily timeframe, whatever the current chart's timeframe is. This is to reduce the variability in levels, to make it less noisy than intraday price movement, but this can be changed in the settings.
* The step can be adjusted to increase the gap between levels, eg, if you want to display one every 2 levels then input step = 2 (eg, 22000, 24000, 26000, etc), or if you want to display quarter levels, input 0.25 (eg, 22000, 22250, 22500, etc). The default values should fit most use cases and cover most psychological levels.
I made this script mainly to train with PineScript, but I found it surprisingly accurate to define levels that are respected by price movements. So I guess it can be useful for new traders and experienced traders alike, as it's easy to forget that psychological levels can often be as strong if not stronger than technical levels. It can also be used to quickly screen other minor assets for trading opportunities. For example, a hybrid strategy would be to manually define levels on BTCUSD but using this script to automatically define levels in crypto altcoins and quickly screen them for a trade opportunity that can be greater than with BTCUSD but with the same trend.
Changes compared to v1:
* Deduplicated redundant calculations and hence faster script.
* Added half-step levels, which allows to more easily see breakouts (because the levels are still on-screen).
* All steps are now configuration on the GUI.
* Revamped color scheme.
* And major reasons to post as a separate v2 script rather than updating: because we can't update the original description nor screenshot. I have now read more about the House Rules and saw other scriptmakers, so I am trying to write better descriptions like wizards do, by explaining not only how the script works but what the underlying financial concept is to a neophyte audience.
