Daily MA — Higher-Timeframe Daily Moving Average OverlayThis indicator plots a clean, higher-timeframe daily moving average directly on any chart, so you can always see where price sits relative to the daily trend — even while trading on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, etc.).
It’s designed to be:
Simple – a single, configurable daily MA line
Consistent – always anchored to the 1D timeframe
Flexible – choose EMA or SMA and customize line width/color
⸻
What This Indicator Does
Pulls the 1-Day (1D) moving average of the current symbol, regardless of your chart timeframe.
Lets you choose between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average).
Plots that daily MA as a smooth overlay on your current chart.
Keeps the line visually clean and continuous, making it easy to see daily trend and dynamic support/resistance.
This is not a signals/strategy script. It doesn’t generate buy/sell arrows or backtest logic. It’s a context tool for visualizing the daily trend while you execute your own strategy.
⸻
Why a Daily MA Overlay Is Useful
Traders commonly use a daily moving average to:
Anchor intraday trades to the higher-timeframe trend
Longs when price is holding above the Daily MA
Shorts or caution when price is rejecting from the Daily MA
Identify dynamic support/resistance
Price often reacts around well-watched daily MAs (e.g., 50, 100, 200)
Filter setups
Only take long setups when price is above the daily trend line
Avoid counter-trend trades when price is extended far from the Daily MA
Because this script forces the MA to always be computed on 1D, you don’t have to switch back and forth between intraday and daily charts to keep track of the bigger picture.
⸻
Inputs & Settings
MA Length
Default: 200
Any positive integer (min 1)

⸻
How to Use It in Your Workflow
Intraday traders (scalpers/day-traders):
Apply the indicator to your 1m/5m/15m charts.
Use the Daily MA as a trend filter :
Only look for long scalps when price is above the Daily MA.
Be more cautious with longs or consider shorts when price is below it.
Swing traders :
Use it on 1H/4H charts to see where price sits relative to a longer-term daily trend.
Watch for:
Pullbacks to the Daily MA in an uptrend as potential demand zones.
Rejections at the Daily MA in a downtrend as potential supply zones.
Risk management & context :
Avoid chasing extended moves far from the Daily MA.
Mark confluence with other tools (support/resistance, volume profile, etc.) around the Daily MA.
⸻
Notes & Limitations
The moving average itself is calculated from daily candles , then displayed on your current timeframe.
This is a visual aid only . It does not guarantee future performance or provide financial advice.
Always combine this indicator with your own analysis, risk management, and trading plan.

## How It Works
### Level Behavior
**Session High/Low Levels:**
1. During session: Tracks the highest high and lowest low
2. After session ends: Draws horizontal rays extending right
3. When price hits level: Ray stops extending (hit marker)
4. Label updates position to stay at chart's right edge
**Previous Period Levels:**
1. At period change: Draws rays from previous period's H/L
2. Extends right until price hits the level
3. When hit: Ray stops extending
4. Label positions at midpoint of ray
**True Open Levels:**
1. At trigger time: Draws ray from opening price
2. Extends right until next trigger
3. Previous level is deleted when new one appears
4. Label stays at right edge of chart
---
## Color Scheme
### Three Color Categories:
1. **Red** - All HIGH levels (session highs, previous highs)
2. **Green** - All LOW levels (session lows, previous lows)
3. **Blue** - All OPEN levels (True Day/Session/Week Opens)
This makes it instantly clear what type of level you're looking at.

**Ready to trade with clean, focused key levels!** 🎯
Value TrailingValue Trailing is a variation of my "Dynamic Trailing" indicator, which had additional features including a band-system that tracks the highs and lows of the past X candles. Value Trailing, on the other hand, uses a default lookback window of 14, and a normal range of 68%, simulating a Fixed Range Volume Profile distribution of the past 14 candles, with bands at the upper and lower 68% range.
This lets the user clearly see the key levels, ignoring potential noise from varying and inconsistent highs and lows, while still allowing the user to trade this alongside basic strategies and concepts such as supply/demand and sideways trends.
This indicator comes with 2 customizable sets of "bands", as well as boxes that identify the range of the last candle that touched one side of the bands.
Seasonality Forecast 4H A seasonality indicator shows recurring patterns in data that occur at the same time each year, such as retail sales peaking during the holidays or demand for ice cream rising in the summer. These indicators are used in fields like business, economics, and finance to identify predictable, time-based fluctuations, allowing for better forecasting and strategic planning, like adjusting inventory or staffing levels. In trading, a seasonality indicator can show historical patterns, like an asset's tendency to rise or fall in a specific month, to provide additional context for decision-making.
Seasonality reasoning basically seasonality works most stably on the daily frame with the input parameter being trading day 254 or calendar day 365, ..
Use seasonal effects such as sell in May, buy Christmas season, or exploit factors such as sell on Friday, ... to track the price movement.
The lower the time frame, the more parameters need to be calculated and the more complicated. I have tried to code the version with 1 hour, 15 minutes and 4 hours time frames
On the statistical language R and Python, Pine script
Tradingview uses the exclusive and unique Pine language. There is a parameter limit, just need to change the number of forecast days or calculate shorter or only calculate the basic end time value, we seasonality still works
but the overall results are easily noisy and related to controlling the number of orders per week/month and risk management.
The 4-hour frame version works well because we exploit the seasonal factor according to the 4-hour trading session as a trading session
Every 4 hours we have an input value that corresponds to the Asian, European, and American trading sessions
4 hours - half a morning Asian session.4 hours - half an afternoon Asian session, 4 hours - half a morning European session, 4 hours - half an afternoon European session, similar to the US and repeat the cycle.
Input Parameter Declaration
Tradingview does not exist declaration form day_of_year = dayofyear(time) Pine Script v5:
Instead of using dayofyear, we manually calculate the number of days in a year from the time components.
// Extract year, month, day, hour
year_now = year(time)
month_now = month(time)
day_now = dayofmonth(time)
hour_now = hour(time)
// Precomputed cumulative days per month (non-leap year)
days_before_month = array.from(0, 31, 59, 90, 120, 151, 181, 212, 243, 273, 304, 334)
// Calculate day-of-year
day_of_year = array.get(days_before_month, month_now - 1) + day_now
Input parameter customization window
Lookback period years default is 10, max - the number of historical bars we have, should only be 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years.
Future project bar default is 180 bars - 1 month. We can adjust arbitrarily 6*24*254 - day/month/year
smoothingLength Smooth the data (1 = no smoothing)
offsetBars Move the forecast line left/right to check the past
How to use
Combine seasonality with Supply Demand, Footprint volume profile to find long-term trends or potential reversal points
day_of_year := day_of_year + ((is_leap and month_now > 2) ? 1 : 0)
// Compute bin index
binIndex = (day_of_year * sessionsPerDay) + math.floor(hour_now / 4)
binIndex := binIndex % binsPerYear // Keep within array bounds
The above is the manual code to replace day of year
Project Pegasus RevenantDescription
Project Pegasus Revenant is a reversal and liquidity-trap detection system combining a configurable fractal reversal engine with the SweepTrigger liquidity finder. It highlights potential structural turning points and stop-hunt scenarios directly on the chart.
What’s unique
Fractal Reversal Engine: Adjustable strictness (1 = loose, 5 = strict) to fit different market conditions.
Signal Filtering: Minimum bar spacing to avoid clustering of false or repeated signals.
SweepTrigger Add-on: Detects liquidity sweeps with wick-based rejection logic, auto-doji detection, and range-strength confirmation.
Dual Signal Output: Circle markers for pure fractal reversals, triangles for sweep-based liquidity traps.
Adaptive Filters: Customizable thresholds for body size, candle range, and sweep strength.
How it works (technical)
Fractals: A reversal fractal is confirmed when the high/low at position n is surrounded by lower/higher highs/lows across a configurable frontier.
Signal confirmation: Once price trades back through the fractal level within a limited number of bars, a potential reversal is triggered.
Bar filter: Signals require a minimum distance in bars to prevent noise.
SweepTrigger logic:
Wick comparison (upper vs lower) determines rejection direction.
Doji and low-body candles are auto-filtered.
Range check ensures the current candle exceeds a configurable multiple of the average range.
Visuals:
Green/Red circles = fractal reversals.
Cyan/Purple triangles = liquidity sweep triggers.
How to use
Watch fractal signals to anticipate structural reversal points.
Combine SweepTrigger signals with liquidity highs/lows for identifying stop hunts and fakeouts.
Use as standalone reversal tool or as confirmation within a broader system (e.g., order blocks, volume profile, or market structure).
Key settings
Reversal Mode: 1–5 (controls strictness of fractals).
SweepTrigger: On/off toggle, lookback window, body-size filter, range strength multiplier.
Visuals: Shapes, sizes, and color-coded signals for clear separation between fractal and sweep triggers.
Notes & limitations
Works on all timeframes.
Signals are reactive (based on confirmed bars), not predictive — no lookahead logic.
Too strict settings may reduce signal frequency; too loose may increase noise.

EMA / WMA RibbonMomentum Flow Ribbon
Unlock a clear, visual edge in identifying short-term momentum shifts with the Momentum Flow Ribbon.
This indicator was born from a simple yet powerful concept: to visually represent the dynamic relationship between a fast-reacting Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the smoother, more methodical Wilder's Moving Average (WMA). While both moving averages use the same length, their unique calculation methods cause them to separate and cross, creating a "ribbon" that provides an immediate and intuitive gauge of market momentum.
This tool is designed for the disciplined trader who values clean charts and actionable signals, helping you to execute your strategies with greater confidence and precision.
How It Works
The script plots an EMA and a Wilder's Moving Average (referred to as rma in Pine Script) of the same length. The space between these two lines is then filled with a colored ribbon:
Bullish Green/Teal: The ribbon turns bullish when the faster EMA crosses above the slower Wilder's MA, indicating that short-term momentum is strengthening to the upside.
Bearish Red: The ribbon turns bearish when the EMA crosses below the Wilder's MA, signaling that short-term momentum is shifting to the downside.
The inherent "lag" of the Wilder's MA, a feature designed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. himself, acts as a steady baseline against which the more sensitive EMA can be measured. The result is a simple, zero-lag visual that filters out insignificant noise and highlights meaningful changes in trend direction.
Key Features
Customizable Length and Source: Easily adjust the moving average length and price source (close, hl2, etc.) to fit your specific trading style and the instrument you are trading, from futures like MES and MNQ to cryptocurrencies and forex.
Customizable Colors: Tailor the ribbon's bullish and bearish colors to match your personal chart aesthetic.
Built-in Alerts: The script includes pre-configured alerts for both bullish (EMA crosses above WMA) and bearish (EMA crosses below WMA) signals. Never miss a potential momentum shift again.
Clean & Lightweight: No clutter. Just a simple, effective ribbon that integrates seamlessly into any trading system.
Practical Application for the Discerning Trader
For a futures trader, timing is everything. This ribbon is not just another indicator; it's a tool for confirmation.
Imagine you've identified a key level—a Volume Profile POC, the previous day's low, or a critical accumulation zone. As price approaches this level pre-London session, you're watching for a sign of institutional activity. A flip in the ribbon's color at that precise moment can provide the powerful confirmation you need to enter a trade, trusting that you are aligning with the building liquidity and momentum heading into the New York open.
This is a tool for those who aspire to greatness in their trading—who understand that the edge is found not in complexity, but in the flawless execution of a simple, well-defined plan.
Add the Momentum Flow Ribbon to your chart and start seeing momentum in a clearer light.
Trend strategy by anant_alwaysThis indicator studies RSI, moving averages, volume profile, and OI data, which help determine the market's direction. Based on the study, it generates multiple triangles to indicate the potential direction continuation of the script being used upon. The indicator simply studies other parameters to generate a signal and does not create a mashup of these indicators.
FX Strike — EMAs + ATR Trailing StopsThe FX Strike Overlay combines three key moving averages with ATR-based trailing stops to create a clear, rule-based trading framework.
EMAs (200, 50, 20): Define macro trend, active trend, and entry trigger.
ATR Trailing Stop: Adapts dynamically to volatility to manage stop-loss placement and trend exits.
Pullback Zone Shading (20↔50): Highlights high-probability continuation areas.
Flip Markers & Alerts: Optional signals when price crosses the ATR trail or reclaims the 20 EMA in trend.
How to Use:
Follow the 200/50 EMA alignment for trend bias.
Look for pullbacks to the 50 EMA and reclaims of the 20 EMA for entries.
Place stops at the ATR trail line, and let it manage exits dynamically.
Use with Volume Profile or support/resistance levels for profit targets.
This tool was designed with a clean black/gold theme for traders who value simplicity, discipline, and clarity.
Daily HOD / LOD Anchored VWAP (24/7 Markets)mart Daily HOD/LOD Anchored VWAP (Auto Detect + Alerts)
This indicator automatically anchors VWAP at the High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD) for each session/day.
No more manual anchoring — the script tracks intraday highs and lows in real-time and resets cleanly at the start of each trading day or session.
✨ Features
✅ Auto-anchored AVWAP at daily High and Low
✅ Works for stock markets (with fixed sessions) and crypto markets (24/7)
✅ Clean reset every session/day
✅ Separate AVWAP lines for HOD and LOD
✅ Customizable colors & line widths
✅ Alerts included 🚨 (get notified instantly when a new High/Low AVWAP starts)
📈 Use Cases
Spot true intraday support/resistance levels
Track where institutions may be defending positions
Combine with price action, orderflow, or volume profile strategies
Perfect for intraday trading, scalping, and swing entries
⚡ Alerts
New HOD AVWAP → Fires when price makes a fresh high of day, starting a new anchored VWAP.
New LOD AVWAP → Fires when price makes a fresh low of day, starting a new anchored VWAP.
🛠️ Settings
Show/hide HOD or LOD VWAP
Customize line colors and thickness
Works seamlessly across stocks, futures, forex, and crypto
💡 Pro Tip:
AVWAP from the high and low of the day often acts as a magnet for price. Watch how price reacts when revisiting these levels — confluence with other indicators = high-probability setups.

Dynamic 50% Line [Daily and Weekly Range]This indicator automatically plots the 50% retracement level (midpoint) of the daily and weekly trading ranges. It helps traders identify key support/resistance zones where price may react, offering insights into potential reversal or continuation areas.
Auction Market Theory & the 50% Level
At its core, this indicator is built on Auction Market Theory (AMT), which views price movement as an ongoing auction process where buyers and sellers compete to establish value. The 50% midpoint represents fair value—the equilibrium where price is most likely to balance before continuing its trend or reversing.
When price deviates too far from this level, it often returns to balance (mean reversion) or accepts new value (breakout). By tracking the daily and weekly 50% lines, traders can:
Identify high-probability reversal zones (where price may reject fair value).
Spot trend continuation areas (where price accepts higher/lower value).
Align with institutional order flow, as large players often use these levels for execution.
This makes the indicator particularly powerful for traders who follow volume profile, order flow, or ICT concepts, as it visually maps the market’s ongoing auction process.
Features:
✅ Automated Daily & Weekly Midpoints – Calculates the 50% level from the high/low of each session.
✅ Customizable Line Styles – Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines for better visibility.
✅ Clear Labeling – Optional text labels show "50% Level" or custom text at your preferred position (left, middle, or right).
✅ Flexible Styling – Adjust line colors, thickness, and text size to match your chart theme.
How It Works:
Daily 50% Line: Resets at 6 PM NY time (new trading day).
Weekly 50% Line: Resets on Sunday at 6 PM NY time (new trading week).
The midpoint is calculated as:
(High + Low) / 2
Lines extend 500 bars forward for easy visibility.
Why Use This Indicator?
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, this dynamic indicator auto-updates the 50% level as new highs/lows form, saving time and improving accuracy. Whether you trade forex, stocks, or crypto, these levels often act as strong magnets for price action.
Macro S&D AlphaMacro S&D Suite: Part 1 — Alpha Zones (Macro Structure S&D)
Title: Macro S&D Suite: Part 1 — Alpha Zones (Macro Structure S&D)
Description:
Overview
Macro S&D Alpha is the foundational component of our system, designed to identify institutional-level supply and demand zones across Weekly, Daily, and 4H timeframes. It captures the structural blueprint of the market by filtering out weak swings and highlighting zones that historically attract major liquidity.
How It Works
• Volatility-Weighted Swings: Detects key pivot points using swing duration, price rejection intensity, and volatility scores
• Auto-Zone Drawing: Plots supply (resistance) and demand (support) zones from validated macro pivots
• Dynamic Updates: Zones extend and adjust only when the structure confirms a significant change
• Noise Reduction: Filters minor or untested pivots to highlight meaningful levels with proven historical relevance
Use Case
Add Alpha to your higher-timeframe charts (Daily/4H) to define your structural market bias. These zones help identify potential reversals, trend continuations, and breakout regions. Alpha serves as the macro map for directional decision-making.
How It Integrates with Beta
Alpha defines where the market is most likely to respond — at key macro structural zones.
Beta sharpens the focus with precise entry and exit zones on lower timeframes.
When the two align — for example, a Micro 1 or 5 rejection within an Alpha zone — this often marks a high-probability reversal, breakout, or pullback setup with reduced risk and increased conviction.
What Makes It Unique
Alpha is not a standard support/resistance or swing high/low script. It uses a proprietary multi-factor scoring model to determine which historical pivots carry institutional weight. This allows traders to focus only on the most reliable structural zones over multi-week horizons.
Technical Note
This script is Part 1 of the Macro S&D Suite. Due to TradingView's line and object limits, the suite is divided into modular tools:
• Part 1 – Alpha: Macro structure zones (this script)
• Part 2 – Beta: Intraday tactical zones (published separately)
Educational Support & System Guide
This script is accompanied by a 25-page Trading Rules Guide, outlining how to apply our zone logic, entry/exit rules, and execution structure.
All approved users receive daily support and real-time guidance, applying the exact identical setups we use in live trading — across indices, FX, crypto, and commodities.
Compatibility Note
Alpha is primarily designed for structure-based price action trading, but it also works well in conjunction with external tools such as VWAP, volume profile, or basic trend overlays.
Traders can keep their workflow clean or layer additional confluence to suit their strategy.
Invite-Only Access
Access to this script is reserved for active members of our MacroStructure community.

Previous RTH Levels (RTH Only)Previous RTH Levels on current session (RTH Only)
This indicator calculates key volume profile levels from the previous Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session and projects them onto the current RTH session. It is designed to provide traders with significant historical price levels—Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—to use as potential support, resistance, and pivot points for intraday trading.
Instead of just plotting lines, this script highlights the entire Value Area (VA) between the VAH and VAL, offering a clear visual reference for the prior day's zone of price agreement.
Prev Week POC Buy/Sell Signals
Hi, I’m Edward. I created a straightforward strategy for swing traders (4hr or 8hr timeframe users). This strategy is for traders that are not interested to look at charts all day long, 2 times a day max, but still be profitable.
The indicator:
Print a buy signal when the price closes above the previous week's Point of Control (POC).
Stay in the trade until the price closes below the previous week's POC, then print a sell signal.
The indicator calculates the weekly POC using a basic volume profile method, then tracks the previous week's POC for signals.
Previous week POC is valid from Monday to Thursday. By close of business on Thursday, the current week trend and POC should be well established and should be used make buy or sell decisions. Enjoy!
Candle Range Detector by TradeTech AnalysisCandle Range Detector by TradeTech Analysis
This advanced indicator identifies and visualizes price compression zones based on inside bar formations, then tracks how price behaves around those zones — offering valuable insights into liquidity sweeps, range expansions, and trap/mitigation behavior.
The script builds upon the foundational concept of range-based price action, commonly used by institutional traders, and adds automation, mitigation tracking, and sweep detection to map how price reacts around these critical ranges.
🔍 How It Works:
• Range Formation: A new range is detected when the current candle forms entirely within the high and low of the previous candle (i.e., an inside bar). This behavior often indicates price compression and potential breakout zones.
• Range Extension: Once a range is confirmed, the script projects upper and lower boundaries (using either a percentage-based multiplier or Fibonacci log extension), providing context for expected breakout zones.
• Mitigation Tracking: The script continuously monitors whether price breaks above or below the projected extensions, marking that range as mitigated — useful for confirming whether liquidity was absorbed.
• Sweep Detection: If price re-visits a mitigated zone and shows signs of a liquidity sweep (via wick + close behavior), the indicator triggers visual sweep labels and optional alerts.
🧠 Optional Visual Enhancements:
• Highlight range-forming candles with light blue background (toggle on/off)
• Midpoint dotted line for symmetry analysis
• Labels for “Range High” and “Range Low” for visual clarity
• Dynamic box drawing that adapts upon mitigation or continuation
⚙️ Customizable Features:
• Choose between Normal and Fibonacci-based detection modes
• Toggle visibility of range boxes, extension lines, and sweep markers
• Configure sweep alerts, mitigation window size, and visual transparency
⸻
🧪 Use Cases
• Identify consolidation zones before major price moves
• Confirm liquidity sweeps for entry/exit traps
• Visualize and test mitigation behavior of past zones
• Combine with Order Flow or Volume Profile tools to enhance context
⸻
⚠️ This is a fully original implementation that goes beyond classical inside-bar scanners by incorporating mitigation, extension projection, and liquidity sweeps — making it a powerful tool for intraday, swing, and even Smart Money-based trading setups.

IPDA with Order Blocks [Enhanced]Summary of the Code
This script plots IPDA Standard Deviations on a price chart, helping traders visualize potential support and resistance levels based on a series of user-defined deviations. It uses swing high/low points and time-based fractal lookbacks (monthly, weekly, daily, or intraday) to define price anchors and compute deviation lines.
Key features include:
Deviations: It calculates and plots deviation levels based on the distance between swing highs and lows, which traders can use as price targets or zones of interest.
Timeframes:
Monthly (higher timeframe analysis)
Weekly (medium-term analysis)
Daily and Intraday (shorter-term precision)
Customization:
Choose which deviation levels (e.g., 0, 1, -1, -2) to display.
Hide labels or adjust their sizes for cleaner charts.
Option to remove invalidated deviation levels dynamically.
Visual Cleanliness: Automatically removes clutter by hiding or deleting invalid deviation levels and focusing on active price zones.
How to Utilize It for Intraday Trading to Make $1,000
Here’s how to effectively use the indicator to optimize intraday trading:
1. Set the Right Timeframe:
Use the 15-minute or 1-hour chart for intraday setups.
Ensure the "Intraday" lookback option is enabled to focus on shorter-term swings.
2. Interpret the Levels:
Bearish Order Blocks: Look for red lines (bearish deviation) as potential resistance zones where the price may reverse downward.
Bullish Order Blocks: Look for green lines (bullish deviation) as potential support zones where the price may bounce upward.
3. Plan Entries and Exits:
Entry: Buy near a green order block or short near a red order block, confirming the trade with additional signals (e.g., candlestick patterns, momentum indicators).
Stop Loss: Place your stop below the green line (for buys) or above the red line (for shorts).
Profit Targets: Use deviation levels as targets (e.g., from the 0 level to +1 or -1).
4. Combine with Market Context:
Use the script alongside volume profile, trend indicators, or news events for confirmation.
Avoid trading during major news events unless aligned with deviations.
5. Position Sizing for $1,000 Goal:

SwingArm ATR Trend (Blackflag FTS) + HTF Zones & Trail📐 SwingArm ATR Trend + HTF Zones | Blackflag FTS Concept
A precision-engineered volatility mapping and trend-trailing system inspired by the Blackflag FTS / SwingArm ATR methodology — now enhanced with multi-timeframe confluence, adaptive ATR zones, and Fibonacci-level support/resistance architecture.
Designed for trend traders, scalpers, and swing specialists, this tool visually defines where price is likely to pivot, trend, or exhaust — based entirely on structure and volatility, not lagging signals.
🧩 Core Logic
🔹 Adaptive Swing Zones (Current TF)
Built using Fibonacci-scaled ATR offsets from a dynamic midline (the average of the session high/low), these zones evolve with price structure:
Zone +1 / -1: Primary volatility boundaries — breakout or pullback zones.
Zone +2 / -2: Extended moves — high-momentum areas.
Zone +3 / -3: Exhaustion zones — potential reversal or take-profit areas.
Color shifts dynamically based on directional bias (bullish/bearish).
🟨 Trailing Stop (Current TF)
An adaptive trailing stopline that follows trend shifts using midline ± ATR logic.
Acts as a bias filter and exit manager.
Color-coded for clarity.
Flips based on price’s relationship to the trail.
🔶 Higher Timeframe Zones (HTF Overlay)
Optional overlay that mirrors the full structure — zones + trailing stop — from a higher timeframe of your choice.
Perfect for:
Validating local moves against macro context.
Spotting higher-timeframe traps or confluence breakouts.
🛠️ Settings & Customization
ATR Period — default is 14, but adaptable to asset volatility.
Source — usually close, but adjustable for experimentation.
Show/Hide Toggles — independently control visibility for:
Current TF zones & trail
HTF overlay
Zone Colors — full control for bullish/bearish bias on both timeframes.
Line Widths — customize to fit any chart style or background.
🎯 Real-World Trade Examples
📈 Long Trend + Pullback
Price breaks through Zone +1 with momentum.
Trail flips bullish; price holds above it.
HTF trail and zones are also bullish.
Entry: On retracement to the trail or Zone +1.
Exit: At Zone +2 or a trail break.
📉 Short Reversal
Price rejects Zone +2 with bearish candle.
Trail flips to bearish shortly after.
HTF trail confirms downtrend.
Entry: On retest of Zone +1 or failed bounce at trail.
Exit: At Zone -1/-2 or upon trail break.
🔁 Range or Fade Play
In low-trend conditions, Zones +2/-2 act as mean-reversion pivot points.
Scalp entries can be taken with tight stops near those extremes.
Avoid during clear HTF directional bias.
🧠 Trading Tips
Trend + Structure + Volatility = edge.
Let zones act as your pre-defined decision map.
Use the HTF layer to validate or fade local setups.
Great in combination with:
Price action or liquidity maps
Volume profile / OBV
Oscillators for entry timing
✅ Summary
This indicator helps you:
Stay in trends longer with smart trailing logic.
Know exactly where volatility could expand or exhaust.
Align entries with multi-timeframe structure.
Visually separate trending from ranging conditions.
It's an educational idea, and it doesn’t predict the future — it frames it with objective volatility zones so you can trade with clarity and confidence.
Regards!
BIN Based Support and Resistance [SS]This indicator presents a version of an alternative way to determine support and resistance, using a method called "Bins".
Bins provide for a flexible and interesting way to determine support and resistance levels.
First off, let's discuss BINS:
Bins are ranges or containers into which your data points can be sorted. For example, if you're grouping ages, you might have bins like 0–18, 19–35, 36–50, and 51+. Any data point within these intervals gets placed in the corresponding bin.
Binning simplifies complex data sets by grouping values into categories. This is useful for such things as
Visualizing data in histograms or bar charts.
Reducing noise and highlighting trends.
This indicator groups the price action into 10 separate bins. It determines the Support / Resistance level by averaging the values in the Bins to find an iteration of the "central tendency" or average reoccurring value.
Pros and Cons
Since this is a different approach to support and resistance, I think its important to highlight some of the pros and advantages, but also be open about the cons.
First off the PROS
Bin Based Support and Resistance Levels dynamically adjust to ranges as opposed to hard / fast peaks and valleys. This makes them better at analyzing price action vs simply drawing lines at random peaks and valleys.
Because Bins are analyzing ALL PA within a period's max and min range, Bin Support and Resistance can actually be used similar to Volume profile, where you are able to identify a pseudo-POC, or areas where price tends to consolidate. Take a look at this example on SPY:
You can see these 2 SR lines are close together. This represents that this general price range is an area where price likes to accumulate/consolidate. You can see the SPY ended up coming back to this range and consolidating there for a bit.
This is a strength of using a BIN based approach to calculating support and resistance, because as indicated before, it looks at price action vs peaks and valleys.
As a tip, these areas are areas you want to wait for a break in one direction or the other.
The indicator provides for backtest results of the support and resistance lines, to see how many times certain areas acted as resistance or support. Because this is analyzing and distributing PA evenly throughout the period's max and min, the indicator can tell you which areas tend to have higher rejection zones and which have higher support zones.
Now the CONS
Because bin based SR take an average approach, the SR lines can sometimes be slightly broken before the ticker finds rejection:
To combat this, make sure there is confirmed support. How the indicator actually backtests these lines is by waiting to see if the ticker has 3 consecutive closes above the support line or below the resistance line. So these are things to be mindful of.
It doesn't consider pivots. Most support and resistance indicators either identify max and min peaks and valleys or use pivot points. Pivot points are a great way to identify peaks and valleys and thus by extension support and resistance. However, this is also somewhat of a strength, as using BINS forces the indicator to consider ALL price action and not just the extremes (highs and lows).
Can be slightly skewed in highly volatile environments. Any time there is a massive drop or rally, it can skew the indicator to give extreme ranges to both ends. For example, the Tariff news collapse on ES1!:
Owning to limitations in lookback length, sometimes the min and max range can be exceeded and other traditional areas of support / resistance is where a ticker will find support.
Using the indicator
Here are some basic use/functionalities of the indicator:
Selecting display of backtest results: You can select to have the backtest results shown in a table:
Or directly on the lines:
Inversely, you can toggle them off completely:
You can modify the lookback length. The suggested lookback length is between 250 to 500 candles on smaller timeframes. I also suggest 252 on daily timeframes (which represents 1 trading year).
And that's the indicator!
It is very easy to use, so you should pick it up in no time!
Enjoy and as always, 🚀🚀 safe trades! 🚀🚀
TICK Bias Timer with EMA Position📌 Description
This indicator tracks the time in minutes that the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the NYSE USI:TICK remains above or below the zero line. It serves as a powerful market breadth confirmation tool to support your intraday directional bias.
Rather than focusing on momentary TICK spikes, this tool emphasizes duration and persistence of buying/selling pressure across the entire NYSE – helping traders stay on the right side of the flow.
🔧 Features
✅ Measures how long the EMA of TICK stays above or below 0
✅ Visual plots of upward and downward pressure duration (in minutes)
✅ Background color changes based on EMA position relative to 0
✅ Automatic daily reset at a customizable time (e.g. 15:30 for RTH open)
✅ Gap filter to avoid spikes during overnight or weekend sessions
✅ Clean, minimalist design – built for real-time decision making
🎯 How to Use

EMA < 0 for 10+ minutes → sustained bearish breadth → intraday bearish bias
Frequent flip between sides → uncertain or choppy market → trade with caution
Can be used in confluence with Volume Profile, VWAP, price action, and Bookmap to reinforce trade setups.
💡 Ideal For:
Scalpers looking for flow confirmation
Day traders who want to filter fake strength/weakness
Professionals using TICK, USI:ADD , USI:VOLD , and other internals for decision-making
[TehThomas] - ICT SMT DivergencesIntroduction
SMT Divergences is a cutting-edge trading tool designed for traders who utilize Smart Money Techniques (SMT), a core concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator is specifically built to detect SMT divergences by comparing price action across multiple correlated assets. It helps traders identify institutional activity, liquidity grabs, and inefficiencies in the market, offering valuable insights for high-probability trade setups.
Smart Money Techniques revolve around the idea that institutional traders and large market participants leave behind footprints in the form of price divergences. By analyzing multiple asset pairs simultaneously, this indicator helps traders pinpoint areas where one market structure contradicts another, revealing potential trade opportunities before the majority of retail traders notice them.
What is SMT Divergence?
Smart Money Divergence (SMT) occurs when correlated assets or markets behave differently in key areas of interest. These divergences often indicate market inefficiencies caused by liquidity grabs or institutional order flow. There are two main types of SMT divergences:
1. Bearish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Distribution) 🔴
Occurs when:
One asset makes a higher high, while another correlated asset makes a lower high.
This signals underlying weakness in the price action of the first asset.
Institutions may be offloading positions, preparing for a downward move.
📉 Example: If GBP/USD makes a higher high, but EUR/USD makes a lower high, it indicates potential weakness in GBP/USD and a possible short opportunity.
2. Bullish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Accumulation) 🔵
Occurs when:
One asset makes a lower low, while another correlated asset makes a higher low.
This suggests strength and potential accumulation by institutional traders.
Smart Money may be positioning for a bullish reversal.
📈 Example: If NASDAQ (US100) makes a lower low, but S&P 500 (US500) makes a higher low, it could indicate bullish strength in the stock market, suggesting a possible long trade.
How This Indicator Works
The SMT Divergences automatically identifies and plots SMT divergences on your chart, allowing you to spot hidden market imbalances at a glance.
🔍 Key Features
✅ Compare Up to 4 Assets Simultaneously – Select up to four correlated pairs to compare against the main charted asset.
✅ Automatic Detection of SMT Divergences – The script finds divergences in swing highs and swing lows and visually marks them on the chart.
✅ Customizable Line Styles & Colors – Adjust the appearance of the divergence lines and labels to suit your trading style.
✅ Smart Labeling System – Displays which asset pairs are diverging, making it easy to analyze market conditions.
✅ Works Across Multiple Markets – Use for Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities, giving traders flexibility in different asset classes.
✅ Designed for ICT Traders – Aligns perfectly with other ICT concepts such as Liquidity Zones, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
🛠 Indicator Settings & Customization
The indicator provides various settings to tailor it to your trading preferences:
Pivot Lookback Length: Adjusts how many bars the indicator looks back to determine swing highs/lows.
Symbol Selection: Choose up to four additional assets to compare against your main trading pair.
Divergence Line Colors: Customize the color of bearish (red) and bullish (blue) divergences for better visibility.
Line Styles: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines to highlight divergences in your preferred way.
Label Customization: Modify text color and display preferences for a clean and informative chart layout.
How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading Strategy
This indicator is best used in combination with other ICT concepts to improve confluence and increase trade accuracy. Here’s how you can integrate it into your trading strategy:
🔹 Step 1: Identify SMT Divergences
Wait for bullish or bearish SMT divergences to appear on your chart.
Check if the divergence aligns with key liquidity zones, fair value gaps (FVGs), or order blocks.
🔹 Step 2: Confirm Institutional Activity
Look for liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) before a potential reversal.
If a bearish SMT divergence forms near a major resistance level, it may signal Smart Money selling.
If a bullish SMT divergence forms near a support zone, it could indicate accumulation.
🔹 Step 3: Enter a Trade with Confluence
Combine SMT divergences with market structure shifts to time entries.
Use additional ICT tools like Premium & Discount Arrays, Volume Profile, and Market Maker Models for confirmation.
Set stop-losses above liquidity zones and aim for high-risk reward ratios.
🔹 Step 4: Manage Risk & Take Profits
Always use proper risk management, keeping an eye on liquidity grabs and market sentiment.
Consider taking partial profits at key structural points and letting the rest of the trade run.
Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer for ICT Traders
Traditional retail traders often fail to spot Smart Money footprints, which is why many struggle with false breakouts and liquidity traps. The - ICT SMT Divergences indicator eliminates this problem by providing a clear, visual representation of SMT divergences, allowing traders to track institutional movements in real-time.
🔹 Save Time – No need to manually compare charts; the script does the work for you.
🔹 Improve Accuracy – Get high-probability trade setups by following institutional footprints.
🔹 Enhance Your Trading Edge – Use SMT divergences in combination with liquidity grabs, order blocks, and fair value gaps to refine your strategy.
🔹 Universal Market Compatibility – Works for Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, and even Stocks, giving you flexibility in different markets.
Final Thoughts
The SMT Divergences is a must-have tool for traders who rely on Smart Money Techniques (SMT) and ICT methodologies. By identifying SMT divergences across multiple correlated markets, this indicator provides unparalleled insights into institutional trading behavior and enhances your ability to trade with Smart Money.
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or position trader, this indicator will help you make more informed decisions, avoid liquidity traps, and improve your overall profitability.
