Institutional Terminal [PSTV] - Smart Liquidity & Kill ZonesThe Institutional Terminal is not just an indicator; it is a complete decision-support system designed to replicate the logic of institutional algorithms and market makers. Unlike standard SMC tools that clutter your chart with endless lines, this script focuses on Liquidity Quality and Context.
It filters out noise to show you exactly where the "Smart Money" is stacked, when they are active, and the volume behind their moves.
Key Features & Logic
1. Smart Liquidity Classification (The Hierarchy)
Not all Order Blocks (OB) are created equal. The algorithm automatically scans the market structure to classify zones:
Solid Lines (Extreme Liquidity): These are the Extreme Price Levels (Lowest Lows for Buys, Highest Highs for Sells). This is the "Kill Zone" where institutions place their resting limit orders.
Dashed Lines (Inducement/Liquidity Pools): These are internal blocks that sit in front of the extreme. Be careful here—these zones often act as "Inducement" (Traps) to be swept before the real move happens.
2. Volume-Weighted Order Blocks
The script integrates Volume Analysis directly into the structure:
Thick Borders: The candle creating this zone had High Volume (1.5x above average). This indicates heavy institutional participation and a high probability of a reaction.
Thin Borders: Standard volume. Valid, but requires more confirmation.
3. Institutional Kill Zones (Time)
Market Makers operate during specific hours. The background changes color to visualize high-volatility sessions (Default: UTC+7 / WIB):
Teal Background: London Open (Accumulation/Manipulation).
Red Background: New York Session (Expansion/Reversal).
No Color: Low Volatility / Asian Session (Consolidation).
4. The Institutional Terminal (Dashboard)
A professional heads-up display in the top-right corner providing real-time macro data:
Session: Detects active market session.
Algo Bias: Combines Structure, EMA Trend, and VWAP to determine if the market is Strong Buy, Weak Buy, Neutral, Weak Sell, or Strong Sell.
Structure: Tracks the invisible Swing Points to determine the sequence (Bullish/Bearish).
Confluence: Checks for High Volume spikes or DXY (Dollar Index) correlation divergence.
How to Trade with This Tool
Check the Terminal Bias: Is the Algo Bias matching your trade idea? (e.g., Green Bias for Buys).
Wait for the Kill Zone: Are you in the London or NY session? Avoid trading during the "No Color" dead zones.
Identify the Sweep:
Watch price react to Dashed Lines (Inducement). Ideally, wait for them to be broken (Swept).
Look for entries at the Solid Lines (Extreme OB).
Confirm with Volume: A Thick-Bordered box at an Extreme level is the highest probability setup (Golden Setup).
Settings & Customization
Visual Liquidity: Customize colors for Bullish/Bearish zones and the transparency of the dashboard.
OB Extension: Control how far the boxes extend to the right (default: 25 bars) to keep your chart clean.
Time & Sessions: Fully customizable session times. Default is set to UTC+7 (WIB), but can be adjusted to your local exchange time.
Trend Filters: Option to toggle DXY correlation integration for Forex/Gold traders.

Elliott Wave Risk MetricThis indicator combines two complementary risk engines into a single framework. Engine A (the BTC Risk Metric) produces a normalized 0–1 risk line by measuring Bitcoin’s logarithmic distance from a long-term trend (a 377-day simple moving average), scaled by time to account for Bitcoin’s exponential growth. This core line is excellent at identifying low-risk accumulation zones near major cycle bottoms and provides a consistent, regime-aware baseline that allows different market cycles to be compared on the same scale.
Engine B evolves the model by adding an Elliott Wave– and Fibonacci-based extension framework. Instead of relying on momentum or trend deviation, it measures how far price has extended from meaningful local and macro anchor lows, using prior impulse lengths as the projection unit. These extensions are mapped into Fibonacci risk zones and converted into a 0–1 extension risk score. The plotted line remains Engine A’s core risk, but its colour is driven by a weighted blend of Engine A and Engine B (default 30% / 70%), allowing late-cycle price peaks—especially fifth waves—to correctly display elevated risk even when momentum is fading.
Why the Bitcoin Risk Metric needed to evolve
The original Bitcoin Risk Metric is structurally biased toward momentum and trend deviation, which makes it very effective at identifying cycle lows but less effective at distinguishing relative risk between late-cycle highs. In strong bull markets, third waves often produce the highest momentum and the greatest distance from the long-term average, causing the metric to peak early. As the market transitions into later fifth-wave advances, price may reach higher levels, but with weaker momentum and slower rate-of-change, leading the metric to print lower highs despite price being objectively riskier.
In other words, the original metric answers the question “How stretched is price relative to its long-term trend?” rather than “How extended is price within its current market structure?” This results in under-warning near late-cycle tops and blow-off phases, particularly in assets that move in clear impulsive waves like Bitcoin. By adding Engine B, the model now incorporates structural extension risk, ensuring that risk remains elevated when price is far advanced from meaningful cycle lows—even if momentum has already rolled over. The result is an evolved risk framework that preserves the strengths of the original metric while correcting its primary blind spot at major and late-stage market tops.
Overbought/Oversold - TheTechnicalTraders.comTheTechnicalTraders.com 30-minute overbought and oversold indicator shows where price generally slows and reverses direction. During an uptrend (green bars), focus on oversold levels as support and entry points. During a downtrend (red bars), focus on overbought levels to exit longs, or buy inverse ETFs.
Phantom Fibonacci Engine [PT-ENG- Fibo .001]Phantom Fibonacci Engine is a clean, research-grade Fibonacci tool that combines Price Retracements + Price Extensions + Time Fibonacci projections in one structured layout — with a clear Golden Zone highlight and a compact HUD panel to keep your workflow fast and consistent.
It does not generate buy/sell signals.
It helps you map pullback zones, projection targets, and timing windows so you can align entries, targets, and risk planning with a single swing.
Key Features
1) Auto Swing Detection (Core Engine)
Automatically identifies the most relevant swing using your Swing Lookback Bars.
Optional SMA trend filter to keep swings aligned with market bias.
2) Price Fibonacci (Retracement)
Plots core retracement levels:
0% / 23.6% / 38.2% / 50% / 61.8% / 78.6% / 100%
Highlights the Price Golden Zone (default 0.50 – 0.618) as a clean pullback area.
3) Price Extensions (Targets)
Projects extension targets from the swing (commonly used as take-profit zones):
Default: 1.272 / 1.618 / 2.0 / 2.618
Works perfectly for:
trend continuation targets
breakout target mapping
scaling out plans
4) Time Fibonacci (Classic + Projected) + UTC Dates
Adds Time Fib projections using ratios such as:
0.382 / 0.5 / 0.618 / 1.0 / 1.272 / 1.618
Draws time projections as vertical lines (not just labels).
Shows the projected dates in real UTC for consistency across all users.
5) Time Golden Window
Highlights a Time Golden Window (default 0.50 – 0.618) to mark the most important timing range for a reaction, continuation, or acceleration.
6) Clean HUD Panel (Bottom-Right)
A stacked HUD shows:
Price Fib values + current swing direction
Price Golden Zone status (IN / OUT)
Time Fib swing length (bars)
Time Golden Window UTC range
Time Window status (IN / OUT)
Overall status (Confluence / —)
7) Full Visual Customization
Toggle Price Labels and Time Labels
Custom colors for:
fib levels
extensions
time lines (classic/projected)
golden zone boxes
How to Use (Practical Workflow)
A) Price Golden Zone Pullbacks
In an uptrend: watch pullbacks into 0.50–0.618
In a downtrend: watch rallies into the same zone (in reverse swing context)
Confirm using your own tools (structure, liquidity, volume, order blocks…)
B) Extension Targets
Use Ext 1.272 / 1.618 as realistic continuation targets
Use 2.0 / 2.618 for strong momentum phases
Great for planning partial take-profits and trailing logic
C) Time Fib for Timing
Time projections are not prediction — they highlight when the market is statistically more likely to react.
If price reaches a key level inside the Time Golden Window, it’s a stronger context for:
reversal attempts
continuation impulses
volatility expansion
D) Golden Confluence (Price + Time)
The strongest scenario is when:
price is inside Price Golden Zone
and current bar is inside Time Golden Window
That’s your best “context layer” to execute your own setup with higher confidence.
Best Settings (Recommended)
For Swing Accuracy (Core)
Swing Lookback Bars
Intraday (5m–30m): 120–300
1H–4H: 200–400
Daily: 30–120 (depends on how long you want the swing)
Use SMA Trend Filter: ON (recommended)
SMA Short / Long: default (20/55) works well as a general filter
For Time Fib Visibility
Max Future Bars to Draw: 450–2000 (increase if you want projections far right)
Shift Time Projections Forward: ON (recommended)
Ensures time levels always appear on the right side.
Default Zones (Most Common)
Price Golden Zone: 0.50–0.618
Time Golden Window: 0.50–0.618
Important Notes
This is a mapping tool, not a signal generator
Fibonacci levels work best when combined with:
structure (BOS/CHoCH)
liquidity zones & stop hunts
volume confirmation
Use this engine as part of your risk management plan.

Seven Campbell - Harmonia Auction LadderHarmonia Auction Ladder
Equilibrium-Based Probability & Execution Framework for Futures
🔍 What Is Harmonia?
Harmonia is an auction-based execution framework designed for intraday futures traders.
It maps where price is statistically balanced, where it is likely to expand, and where it becomes over-extended, using a rolling historical distribution — not indicators, oscillators, or predictions.
This tool does not tell you what to trade.
It tells you when not to trade, and where trades actually make sense.
🧠 Core Philosophy
Markets move as an auction:
They rotate around balance (equilibrium)
They expand in measured phases
They exhaust at extremes
Harmonia visualizes this process using probability ladders built from real historical behavior — not assumptions.
🧭 Key Components
🟡 EQ — Equilibrium (Yellow Line)
The midpoint of the rolling range
Represents balance
No-trade zone
If price is at EQ → WAIT
🟢🔴 Probability Bands (Always Visible)
Harmonia plots symmetrical probability levels above and below EQ:
Level Meaning Usage
20% - Early expansion - Primary entry zone
50% - Common reach - Partial / risk-off
80% - Frequent extension - Target / decision
100% - Historical max - Over-extended / tail risk
These levels are always visible, regardless of current price, so you always know:
Where trades would occur
Where profits should be taken
Where risk increases sharply
🪜 Auction Ladder Guides
Faint ladder guides visually connect:
EQ → 20 → 50 → 80 → (100)
They act as a mental map, making it instantly clear where price sits in the auction — without staring at numbers.
🟣 100% Over-Extended (Optional)
Based on the maximum historical excursion
Not a probability — a boundary
Marks tail risk and exhaustion
New entries beyond 100% are discouraged
Management and exits are prioritized here
📊 Execution Hint Table (Top-Right)
Instead of cluttering the chart, Harmonia uses a small table that updates in real time:
Current session (Asia / London / NY AM / NY PM)
Market state:
WAIT — BALANCE
ROTATION ZONE
CONTINUATION ZONE
EXTREME / FADE ONLY
This keeps guidance visible without blocking price action.
🎯 How Harmonia Is Traded
❌ What You Don’t Do
Trade at EQ
Chase breakouts
Fade randomly
Use indicators for direction
✅ The Core Trade Logic
Wait at EQ → Enter at 20% → Pay at 50% → Decide at 80%
Example (Long)
Price leaves EQ
Pulls back into upper 20%
Entry with defined risk
Partial at 50%
Target or decision at 80%
Risk management near 100%
Same logic applies inversely for shorts.
⏱️ Session-Aware Behavior
Harmonia adapts naturally to session characteristics:
Asia: balance & rotations
London: expansions & false breaks
NY AM: continuation & range extension
NY PM: exhaustion & fades
The framework stays the same — behavior changes, not rules.
⚖️ What Makes Harmonia Different
No lagging indicators
No predictions
No signals
No repainting
No over-optimization
Just structure, probability, and discipline.
Harmonia exists to:
Keep you out of chop
Define high-quality locations
Standardize execution
Reduce emotional trading
🏁 Who This Is For
Futures traders (ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL)
Intraday scalpers & day traders
Traders who value structure over indicators
Anyone tired of over-trading balance
🧠 Final Thought
Price does not need to be predicted — it needs to be placed.
Harmonia doesn’t guess direction.
It shows you where trades make sense and where they don’t.
That’s the edge.

Wave Dynamics - Neural Adaptive Engine🌊 WAVE DYNAMICS - NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
The Official Reference Manual & Trading Protocol
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 PREFACE: THE END OF STATIC ANALYSIS
The financial markets are not linear; they are fractal. They do not move in straight lines; they breathe. They expand in trending volatility and contract in chopping noise.
The fundamental failure of traditional technical analysis is Static Sensitivity .
• A 14-period RSI works beautifully in a range but fails in a trend.
• A 12,26 MACD captures trends but destroys capital in chop.
Wave Dynamics solves this by treating the market as a living organism. At its core is a Neural Adaptive Engine that calculates the Hurst Exponent (Fractal Dimension) in real-time. It measures the "roughness" of price action and automatically adjusts the lookback periods of every subsystem—Waves, Ribbons, and Oscillators—to match the current market regime.
This manual is your guide to navigating this adaptive framework.
PART 1: THEOLOGY & MARKET PHYSICS
To use this tool, you must understand the three pillars of its logic:
1. The Hurst Exponent (Chaos Theory)
The engine continuously calculates H (Hurst) on a rolling window.
• Persistent Regime (H > 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to continue." The market is trending. The Engine Tightens sensitivity to catch fast pullbacks.
• Anti-Persistent Regime (H < 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to reverse." The market is chopping/ranging. The Engine Widens sensitivity to filter out noise and stop runs.
2. The Elliott Wave Cycle (Crowd Psychology)
Price moves in 5-wave motive sequences followed by corrections.
• Waves 1 & 3: Institutional Accumulation/Mark-up.
• Waves 2 & 4: Profit Taking (The Pullback). These are the only safe entry points.
• Wave 5: Retail FOMO (The Trap). Identified by Momentum Divergence .
3. Smart Money Concepts (Liquidity)
Price moves from liquidity to liquidity.
• Order Blocks: Where institutions initiated the move.
• Breakers: Where institutions trapped traders (Support flips to Resistance).
• Fair Value Gaps: Where price moved too fast, leaving inefficiency.
PART 2: VISUAL INTELLIGENCE (COLOR THEORY)
The chart communicates instantly through a strict color-coded language.
🎨 THE RIBBON (Adaptive Equilibrium)
The background "Cloud" is an Adaptive EMA ribbon.
• Neon Green (#00FF88): Bullish Trend. Only look for Longs. Price is above the equilibrium mean.
• Neon Red (#FF3366): Bearish Trend. Only look for Shorts. Price is below the equilibrium mean.
• Grey/Narrow: Compression. The market is deciding. Do not trade inside a grey ribbon.
🎨 INSTITUTIONAL ZONES
• Green/Red Boxes (Order Blocks): Standard Support/Resistance. Valid entry zones, but lower probability.
• Vivid Purple Boxes (#9C27B0) - THE BREAKER: CRITICAL. This appears when a Green Order Block is smashed through by price. It turns Purple to signify it has flipped from Support to Resistance (or vice versa). A retest of a Purple Zone is the highest probability setup in the system.
• Dotted Outlines (FVG): Magnets. Do not place stops inside these; price will likely travel through them.
🎨 WAVE ANATOMY
• Cyan Lines: Valid Impulse Waves (1, 3, 5).
• Orange Lines/Dots: EXHAUSTION. If a wave line turns Orange, Angular Momentum is decaying. The trend is dying.
• Diamonds (◆): DIVERGENCE. Price made a Higher High, but the internal oscillator (MPI) made a Lower Low. Immediate reversal warning.
🎨 SIGNALS
• Triangles: Confirmed Entries. (Green = Long, Red = Short).
• Labels (e.g., A+): The Grade of the trade based on Confluence.
• A+: Perfect Confluence (Trend + Structure + Zone + Momentum).
• C: Counter-trend or Weak.
PART 3: THE DASHBOARD ECOSYSTEM
Three panels provide Total Situational Awareness. You must read them in order: Top Right → Bottom Left → Bottom Right.
1. MISSION CONTROL (Top Right)
This panel tells you the "Weather Report."
• Neural Status:
• 🧠 TREND: Safe to trade breakout and trend-following strategies.
• 🧠 CHOP: Danger. Use mean-reversion or stay out.
• 🧠 RND (Random): No clear edge.
• Phase: Displays the Bias (Bull/Bear) and Strength. "WEAK BEARISH" usually signals a bottom is forming.
• Score Bar: A live visual meter of the Confluence Score (0-100%).
2. THE ASSISTANT (Bottom Left)
This panel acts as your co-pilot, translating data into English.
• Situation:
• "💎 BULL GEM": You are in a range, at the bottom, showing exhaustion. Buy immediately.
• "🔥 COMPRESSION": Volatility squeeze. A violent move is imminent.
• Action: Tells you exactly what to do (e.g., "Wait for confluence," "Trail Stop," "Let it develop").
• Pro Metrics (Simulated):
• Win Rate: The percentage of signals on the current visible chart that hit Target 1.
• Profit Factor: Gross Win / Gross Loss. If this is < 1.0, stop trading this asset immediately.
• Buckets: Shows the win rate of A-Grade signals vs. C-Grade signals.
3. WAVE INTELLIGENCE (Bottom Right)
This panel provides structural context.
• Channel Gauge (0-100%):
• 0-20%: Oversold / Channel Bottom.
• 80-100%: Overbought / Channel Top.
• 50%: Equilibrium.
• W3/W1 Ratio: The "Health Check" of the trend.
• < 1.0: Weak. Wave 3 is shorter than Wave 1. The trend is struggling.
• > 1.618: Extended. The move is parabolic. Expect a snap-back.
• Trend Health (0-100): Composite score of sub-wave physics. If Health < 30, the trend is effectively dead.
PART 4: PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION (THE INPUTS)
Every input allows you to tune the engine. Here is the deep dive:
🧠 NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
• Enable Neural Adaptive Engine: Master switch for the Hurst calculation.
• Hurst Period (100):
• Adjustment: Increase to 200 for Crypto/Alts (too much noise). Decrease to 50 for
Forex/Indices (need speed).
• How to tell: If the dashboard says "TREND" but the chart is sideways, INCREASE this value.
• Min/Max Lookback: Defines the constraints. Only adjust if you are an advanced user creating a custom scalping setup (e.g., Min 3 / Max 10).
🌊 WAVE & STRUCTURE
• Base Swing Detection (8): The "Anchor."
• Scalpers (1m-5m): Set to 5-8.
• Swing Traders (1H-4H): Set to 15-20.
• Min Wave Size (ATR): Prevents the script from labeling tiny wicks as waves. Increase this during high-volatility news events.
🔗 MTF STRUCTURE MAPPING
• Require Macro Align: Strict Mode. If enabled, the script checks the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H). If 4H is Bearish, it BLOCKS all Long signals on the 5m chart. Use this to prevent counter-trend losses.
🏦 SMART MONEY CONCEPTS
• Enable Breakers: ALWAYS ON. This turns failed Order Blocks into Breaker Zones (Purple).
• Institutional Mode: ULTRA STRICT. If enabled, signals will ONLY fire if price is physically touching an Order Block, FVG, or Breaker. This creates very few, very high-quality signals.
🎯 SIGNAL ENGINE
• Signal Mode:
• Strict: Grades A+ and A only.
• Balanced: Grades B and above.
• Aggressive: Includes counter-trend scalps (Grade C).
• Min Confluence Score (5-35): The raw points needed to trigger. 5 is standard. 10 is conservative.
PART 5: TRADE EXECUTION PLAYBOOKS
PLAYBOOK A: THE "BREAKER RETEST" (Highest Probability)
1. Context: Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price creates a Red Order Block, then smashes upward through it.
3. Change: The Red Block turns Purple (Bullish Breaker).
4. Trigger: Price pulls back down to touch the top of the Purple Box.
5. Signal: Green Triangle appears.
6. Action: Max Size Entry. Stop Loss below the Purple Box. Target Wave 3 Projection.
PLAYBOOK B: THE "WAVE 4 DIP" (Trend Following)
1. Context: Wave count shows "3". Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price pulls back towards the Ribbon.
3. Wave Panel: Wave count flips to "4".
4. Trigger: Price touches Ribbon, prints Green Triangle.
5. Action: Standard Size Entry. Stop Loss at Swing Low. Target New High (Wave 5).
PLAYBOOK C: THE "HIDDEN GEM" (Range Reversal)
1. Context: Ribbon is Grey (Consolidation). Neural Status is CHOP.
2. Wave Panel: Channel Gauge is < 10% (Extreme Bottom).
3. Visuals: Orange Exhaustion Dot + Divergence Diamond (◆).
4. Assistant: Reads "💎 BULL GEM".
5. Action: Half Size Entry. This is a counter-trend trade. Target the middle of the range (50% Channel).
PLAYBOOK D: THE "BULL TRAP" (When to Fold)
1. Context: Wave Count is "5".
2. Wave Panel: Trend Health < 30. W3/W1 Ratio > 1.618 (Extended).
3. Visuals: Orange Line appears on price high.
4. Signal: Green Triangle appears (Grade C).
5. Action: NO TRADE. The system is warning you that even though a signal fired, the structural physics indicate exhaustion.
PART 6: GRADING & SCORING MATRIX
Every signal is graded on a 35-point scale. Know what you are buying.
• Trend Alignment (5 pts): Ribbon & HTF agreement.
• Structure (5 pts): BOS (Break of Structure) & Higher Highs.
• Physics (5 pts): MPI (Volume Flow) & Angular Velocity.
• Institutional Location (10 pts):
• Inside Order Block: +3 pts
• Inside Breaker: +4 pts
• Wave 2/4 Pullback: +3 pts
• Penalty: Wave 5 Extension (-3 pts).
Grade Scale:
• A+ (Score ≥ 70%): "All In" Setup.
• A (Score 55-69%): Strong Setup.
• B (Score 40-54%): Standard Setup.
• C (Score < 40%): Dangerous.
PART 7: RISK DISCLOSURE & LIMITATIONS
1. The Reality of Adaptation (Redrawing):
The Neural Engine is dynamic. As new data arrives, the calculation of "Chaos" changes. This means historical channel lines or wave labels may shift to fit the matured trend. HOWEVER: Entry Signals (Triangles) NEVER repaint once the bar is closed.
2. Simulation vs. Reality:
The Dashboard metrics (Win Rate, Profit Factor) are Simulations run on the historical data visible on your chart. They do not account for spread, slippage, or liquidity. They are a tool to gauge the current market personality, not a promise of future returns.
3. No Financial Advice:
Wave Dynamics is a tool for structural analysis. It helps you see the market, but it cannot trade for you. You are responsible for your own risk management.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Wave Dynamics is not just an indicator; it is a lens. It allows you to see the market not as a random walk of candles, but as a structured, breathing entity.
Trust the Neural Status. Respect the Breakers. Fear the Exhaustion.
Taking you to school. — Dskyz, Trade with insight. Trade with anticipation.
Universe_Advanced Wave System**Universe_Advanced Wave System**
This indicator is an advanced market structure analyzer designed to identify complex wave patterns based on price symmetry, time, and Fibonacci relationships. It is inspired by advanced wave theories (including concepts similar to NeoWave and Elliott Wave) but utilizes a custom "Confirmed Pivot" algorithm to filter market noise.
** Key Features:**
* **Automatic Pattern Recognition:** Detects Impulse, Zigzag, Flat, Triangle, and complex structures like Diametric/Symmetrical patterns.
* **Smart Defense Line (Yellow):** A dynamic trailing stop mechanism that adjusts based on price action to protect gains.
* **Target Zones (Green Boxes):** Automatically projects potential reversal or take-profit zones based on Fibonacci extensions.
* **Pattern Scoring (Confidence):** Assigns a 'Confidence Score' to patterns based on strict rule adherence.
* **Logic:** The higher the score, the closer the pattern is to a "perfect" structure. **Higher scores generally indicate higher probability trade setups.**
* **Clean Visualization:** Filters out micro-structures to keep the chart clean, focusing on major moves.
** How to Use:**
1. **Trend Identification:** Use the wave labels to understand the current market cycle.
2. **Entry Confirmation:** Look for "BUY" or "SELL" labels. Prefer signals accompanied by a **High Confidence Score** for safer entries.
3. **Risk Management:** Use the Yellow Line as a trailing stop-loss level.
4. **MTF Panel:** The panel on the top right shows the trend direction of the higher timeframe (default: 4H).
** Recommended Deviation Settings:**
Since volatility varies across markets, adjusting the "Deviation" setting is crucial for accurate wave detection:
* **Forex (Low Volatility):** 0.2% - 0.5% (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD)
* **Indices & Stocks (Medium Volatility):** 0.5% - 1.0% (e.g., SPX500, AAPL)
* **Crypto (High Volatility):** 1.5% - 3.0% (e.g., BTCUSD, ETHUSD)
* *Tip: Decrease deviation for lower timeframes (5m, 15m) and increase for higher timeframes (4H, 1D).*
** IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER & REPAINT WARNING:**
This script is based on **ZigZag logic**. By definition, wave analysis requires the completion of a move to identify a high or low. Therefore, the last leg of the ZigZag and the most recent labels **may recalculate (repaint)** as the price evolves. This is a mathematical necessity for wave theory, not a bug.
* The signals are generated based on "Confirmed Pivots" (after a pullback occurs) to minimize false entries, but they are not strictly non-repainting.
* Always use proper risk management.
* This tool is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
* This is a custom interpretation of wave mechanics and is not an official product of any specific wave theory institute.

ICT/SMC HUDOverview
This indicator is an ICT/SMC-inspired market structure tool that detects:
Swing Structure (pivot-based)
BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character)
Liquidity Sweeps (buy-side & sell-side)
Premium/Discount filter using a simple equilibrium (EQ) midpoint
A Hold Score (0–5) system calculated from a higher timeframe (HTF)
Optional TP/SL visualization box (with TP2 expansion when Hold Score is strong)
⚠️ This is an educational tool, not a guaranteed trading system.
Core Logic (Where signals come from)
This script builds a simplified ICT/SMC framework using 3 layers:
1) Market Structure via Swings (Pivot High/Low)
The script finds swing highs/lows using:
ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen)
ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen)
These swings become the reference points for structure breaks.
2) BOS / CHoCH Detection
BOS Up = price closes above the last swing high
BOS Down = price closes below the last swing low
trend updates to 1 (bullish) or -1 (bearish) based on BOS
CHoCH triggers when BOS occurs against the current trend
CHoCH Up = trend was bearish, then BOS Up happens
CHoCH Down = trend was bullish, then BOS Down happens
3) Liquidity Sweep + Premium/Discount Filter
Sell-side sweep: low breaks below last swing low, but closes back above it
Buy-side sweep: high breaks above last swing high, but closes back below it
Equilibrium (EQ) midpoint is:
(lastSwingHigh + lastSwingLow) / 2
Discount = price below EQ
Premium = price above EQ
Signal Rules (Buy / Sell)
Buy Signal
Sell-side sweep + (CHoCH Up or BOS Up)
OR
BOS Up while price is in Discount
Sell Signal
Buy-side sweep + (CHoCH Down or BOS Down)
OR
BOS Down while price is in Premium
Hold Score System (0–5) — HTF confirmation
The script calculates a Hold Score from HTF using 5 checks:
HTF EMA Bias
Bullish hold bias: EMA Fast > EMA Mid
Bearish hold bias: EMA Fast < EMA Mid
Volatility Expansion
Uses HTF Bollinger Band width; if width is increasing, expansion is “OK”
Mid Acceptance
HTF close relative to HTF BB basis (SMA)
Follow-through after Entry
Requires N consecutive bars closing in favor of the entry direction
No Opposite Break
Avoid holding if opposite BOS/CHoCH appears
Hold Score = sum of the 5 checks (0–5)
TP/SL Box (Optional)
When a new Buy/Sell signal occurs:
Entry is set at current close
SL uses:
Swing-based stop (lowest/ highest of last N bars)
optional ATR buffer
TP1 and TP2 are set using Risk:Reward ratios
TP2 Expansion (Optional)
If Hold Score ≥ threshold:
TP2 RR increases by extraRRonHold
Can be set to expand only (never shrink)
Auto-hide TP/SL Drawings (Optional)
If enabled, the TP/SL box/lines/labels will automatically disappear after N bars.
This is useful for clean charts while still keeping Hold Score logic running.
Best Use Cases
✅ Works best during liquidity sessions:
London Killzone
New York Killzone
✅ Recommended timeframes:
Structure: 15m / 1h
Entry refinement: 5m / 1m
Hold Score HTF: 1h or 4h
Inputs Guide (Quick)
Swing length (Structure): controls swing sensitivity (higher = fewer swings)
Hold Score HTF: HTF used for Hold Score confirmation
TP/SL Box: visualization tool, not order execution
Auto-hide: removes drawings after N bars for clean charts
TP2 Expand: increases TP2 target when Hold Score is strong

Zig Zag ++ SG (Premium)🔥 Zig Zag ++ SG
Professional Market Structure & Cycle Analyzer
Zig Zag ++ SG is an advanced, research-grade market structure indicator built on top of a refined ZigZag engine, designed for traders and investors who want to understand price cycles, not chase candles.
This is not a buy-sell arrow tool.
It is a decision-support system used to analyze trend strength, exhaustion, pullback depth, and cycle behavior across any market and timeframe.
🧠 What Makes Zig Zag ++ SG Different?
Most ZigZag indicators only draw lines.
Zig Zag ++ SG answers the real questions:
Is the trend getting stronger or weaker?
Are higher highs still meaningful?
How deep are pullbacks in percentage terms?
Which stocks recover fast vs stay weak?
Is this accumulation, distribution, or reversal?
It does this by combining:
Market Structure (HH / HL / LH / LL)
Consecutive structure counting
Gain & fall percentage per swing
Clean visual logic (no repaint confusion)
📌 Core Features
✅ 1. Automatic Market Structure Detection
Labels every major swing as:
HH – Higher High
HL – Higher Low
LH – Lower High
LL – Lower Low
This instantly shows whether the market is:
Trending
Consolidating
Distributing
Reversing
✅ 2. Consecutive Structure Count (ON by default)
Each structure type is counted sequentially:
HH (1), HH (2), HH (3)…
HL (1), HL (2)…
This reveals:
Trend maturity
Exhaustion zones
Early breakdown warnings
Example:
HH (4) = trend may be overextended
HL (3) = healthy trend continuation
✅ 3. Gain & Fall % on Every Swing (ON by default)
Every HH, HL, LH, LL shows:
Exact % move from the previous pivot
This allows you to:
Compare pullback depth across stocks
Identify leaders (shallow HLs)
Spot weak stocks (deep HLs / LHs)
Study cycle symmetry
Example label:
HL (2)
-6.4%
✅ 4. Clean, Readable Visual Design
🟩 Green labels → White text
🟥 Red labels → High-contrast white text
Optional background trend shading (OFF by default)
Works perfectly in dark & light mode
Designed for long chart study sessions, not flashy screenshots.
✅ 5. Safe Repaint Logic (Transparent by Design)
Uses ZigZag logic intentionally
No fake “non-repainting” claims
Ideal for analysis, research & planning
What you see is structurally correct
This indicator is for thinking traders, not signal chasers.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
NYC MIDNIGHT FEDWIRE + FIBONACCI PRO VERSION - COMPLETE TRADING GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This is the COMPLETE INSTITUTIONAL TRADING SYSTEM - the most advanced NYC Midnight indicator available. It combines:
1. 4 Critical NYC Time Windows (Hour 1-4 covering midnight to market close)
2. 10-Level Fibonacci Grading System (from Golden Zone to Expert Level)
3. Federal Reserve Fedwire Hours (08:30-09:30 and 09:30-10:30)
4. Smart Midline Touch Detection (automatic alerts when key levels are hit)
5. Multiple Visual Modes (Golden Zones or Graded Setups for different trading styles)
Think of it as having the complete institutional playbook on your chart. You see WHERE the big money operates (time windows), WHAT levels they defend (Fibonacci zones), and WHEN they're active (midline crosses).
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE FOUR-HOUR INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Unlike simpler indicators that only show Hour 1, this PRO VERSION tracks FOUR CRITICAL TIME WINDOWS that institutions use throughout the trading day:
HOUR 1: NYC MIDNIGHT (00:00-01:00 EST) - Yellow Box
• What it is: The foundation - establishes the daily reference range
• Who's active: Asian-to-London handoff, early positioning
• What happens: Low liquidity creates the range institutions will reference all day
• Importance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE ANCHOR POINT
• Visual: Thick yellow box with vertical edges, stops at 01:00
• Trading value: Most reliable levels of the day
HOUR 2: LONDON EARLY (01:00-02:00 EST) - Gray Range
• What it is: First hour after midnight, London traders react
• Who's active: European banks, London prop desks, early institutional flow
• What happens: First test of Hour 1 levels, volatility increases
• Importance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Visual: Gray lines extending from 01:00 to 08:30 (when Fedwire opens)
• Trading value: Shows if Hour 1 range will hold or expand
HOUR 3: FEDWIRE OPEN (08:30-09:30 EST) - Blue Range
• What it is: Federal Reserve Fedwire system opens for institutional settlements
• Who's active: Central banks, major institutions, treasury operations
• What happens: Economic data releases (NFP, CPI, Fed decisions), massive moves
• Importance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HIGHEST VOLATILITY
• Visual: Blue lines from 08:30-09:30
• Trading value: Major breakouts or reversals happen here
HOUR 4: NY SESSION (09:30-10:30 EST) - Purple Range
• What it is: Stock market open, full US participation
• Who's active: ALL market participants - maximum liquidity
• What happens: Trends develop, Hour 1-3 levels get confirmed or broken
• Importance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MAIN TRADING SESSION
• Visual: Purple lines from 09:30-10:30
• Trading value: Highest probability setups when aligned with earlier hours
KEY INSIGHT: When multiple hours align at the same price level (example: Hour 1 high = Hour 2 high = Hour 3 test point), that level becomes institutional concrete - it WILL be defended or cause explosive moves when broken.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL MODES - CHOOSING YOUR PERSPECTIVE
The indicator offers TWO VISUAL MODES that fundamentally change how you see the market:
MODE 1: GOLDEN ZONES (Neutral/Sacred View)
• What it looks like: All Fibonacci zones are YELLOW
• Philosophy: "Every Fibonacci level is equally sacred"
• When to use: Range-bound markets, uncertain direction, learning phase
• Trading mindset: "I'll let price tell me which way to trade"
• Advantages: No bias, see all levels equally, better for mean reversion
• Best for: Forex, Gold, ranging crypto
• Visual clarity: Clean, simple, no color overload
MODE 2: GRADED SETUPS (Directional/Quality View)
• What it looks like: Zones ABOVE Hour 1 high = RED (customizable), zones BELOW Hour 1 low = GREEN/LIME (customizable)
• Golden Zone stays YELLOW (always sacred)
• Grade darkness: Zones get DARKER as grade increases (S++ and EXPERT are darkest = highest quality)
• Philosophy: "Grade the quality of the move by visual darkness"
• When to use: Trending markets, breakout scenarios, clear directional bias
• Trading mindset: "I'm hunting specific grade setups"
• Advantages: Instantly see high-quality zones, directional clarity, S++ zones POP visually
• Best for: Crypto breakouts, indices during news, trending forex
• Visual clarity: Darker = better trade (S++ zones are SOLID red/green)
PRO TIP: In Graded Setups mode, the midlines are BRIGHT (0% transparency), making them stand out clearly. In Golden Zones mode, midlines are subtle (30% transparency). This helps you focus on key entry points in trending markets.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SMART MIDLINE TOUCH DETECTION
One of the most powerful features: the indicator automatically detects and marks when price touches the midline of ANY Fibonacci zone.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Each Fibonacci zone has a dashed midline running through its center
2. When price touches this midline, a YELLOW LABEL appears
3. Label shows the grade (GZ, D+, C+, B+, A+, S+, S++, S+++, PRO, EXPERT)
4. You can choose LABELS mode (text) or EMOJIS mode (⭐💎🔥⚡👑✨🌟🏆🚀)
DETECTION MODES:
First Touch Only (Recommended)
• Shows ONLY the first time price touches each midline after midnight
• Why this matters: First touch is usually the highest probability setup
• Best for: Clean charts, focusing on quality over quantity
• Example: Price hits A+ midline once at 3 AM = Label appears. Hits again at 5 AM = No label (already marked)
Multiple Touches (Advanced)
• Shows every touch up to max labels (default: 20 per midline)
• Why use this: See accumulation patterns, repeated tests, price "magnet" levels
• Best for: Scalping, studying price behavior at levels
• Example: Price hits A+ midline 5 times = 5 labels appear, showing strong support/resistance
LABEL POSITIONING:
• If price is ABOVE Hour 1 range = Label at candle HIGH (pointing down)
• If price is BELOW Hour 1 range = Label at candle LOW (pointing up)
• If price is INSIDE Hour 1 range = Label at wick (high or low depending on which side of midline)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
READING THE CHART - VISUAL GUIDE
PERFECT CHART ANATOMY:
At NYC Midnight (00:00 EST):
• Orange vertical line appears (daily separator)
• Hour 1 starts building (yellow box begins forming)
• Two black lines extend from the first candle (open and close)
At 01:00 EST (Hour 1 Complete):
• Yellow box is finalized with vertical edges (left edge at 00:00, right edge at 01:00)
• Yellow high/low lines extend to current price (these continue all day)
• Yellow dashed midline extends through the middle
• 10 Fibonacci zones appear (5 above, 5 below) - only AFTER Hour 1 completes
• "NYC 00:00" label appears on left side of Hour 1 box
During the Day (After 01:00):
• Candle colors change based on position:
- Yellow: During Hour 1 (00:00-01:00) only
- Green: Above Hour 1 high (bullish territory)
- Red: Below Hour 1 low (bearish territory)
- Gray: Inside Hour 1 range (consolidation/indecision)
• Yellow labels appear when price touches Fibonacci midlines
• Hour 2, 3, 4 ranges build and display their boundaries
Key Visual Elements:
• Thick yellow lines (Hour 1): Width 3, most important
• Thinner colored lines (Hour 2-4): Width 2, secondary reference
• Black lines: First candle open/close (directional bias)
• Dashed lines: Midlines (entry points)
• Boxes with borders: Only drawn from Hour 1 start to Hour 1 end
• Background shading: Extends from Hour 1 start to current bar
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGIES - THE COMPLETE PLAYBOOK
STRATEGY 1: THE GOLDEN ZONE REVERSAL ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highest Win Rate (75-85%)
Concept: The Golden Zone (0.618-0.786) is the single most reliable reversal area in all of technical analysis. When price reaches GZ above or below Hour 1, institutions step in.
LONG SETUP:
1. Hour 1 completes at 01:00 EST
2. Price moves down toward Golden Zone BELOW Hour 1 low
3. Watch for GZ or ⭐ label to appear (midline touch)
4. Confirmation signals:
- Bullish engulfing candle
- Long lower wick (rejection)
- Volume spike
- Hour 2 or 3 boundaries align nearby
5. Entry: Break of reversal candle high OR next candle open
6. Stop loss: Below GZ (below 0.50 Fib level) - typically 20-40 pips
7. Targets:
- Target 1: Hour 1 midline (quick 50-100 pips)
- Target 2: Hour 1 high (100-200 pips)
- Target 3: Opposite GZ (above Hour 1) - let it run
SHORT SETUP:
1. Hour 1 completes
2. Price moves up toward Golden Zone ABOVE Hour 1 high
3. Watch for GZ or ⭐ label
4. Confirmation signals:
- Bearish engulfing
- Long upper wick (rejection)
- Volume spike
5. Entry: Break of reversal candle low OR next candle open
6. Stop loss: Above GZ (above 0.79 Fib level)
7. Targets: Hour 1 midline then Hour 1 low then Opposite GZ
Best times:
• 02:00-05:00 EST (London session - cleanest moves)
• 08:30-10:00 EST (Fedwire hour - big bounces)
Risk/Reward: Minimum 1:3, often 1:5+
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 2: MULTI-HOUR CONFLUENCE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Institutional Precision
Concept: When multiple hour ranges align at the same price level, that level becomes institutional concrete. It's where ALL the big money is watching.
THE SETUP:
1. Wait for Hour 1, 2, and 3 to all complete
2. Look for alignment patterns:
- Hour 1 high = Hour 2 high
- Hour 1 low = Hour 3 test point
- Hour 2 range contained within Hour 1
- Hour 3 (Fedwire) respects Hour 1 boundaries
POWER ALIGNMENT EXAMPLE:
• Hour 1: $50,000 - $50,500 (500 range)
• Hour 2: $49,800 - $50,500 (respects Hour 1 high)
• Hour 3: Price tests $50,500 three times during 08:30-09:30
• CONCLUSION: $50,500 is defended by institutions across 3 time windows
HOW TO TRADE:
• At the aligned level: Enter in the direction that level is defending
• If $50,500 is resistance: Short when price approaches, stop above Hour 2 high
• If $50,500 breaks: Wait for retest, then trade the breakout direction
• Target: Opposite boundary of the aligned ranges
WHY IT WORKS:
• Banks trade off Fedwire levels (Hour 3)
• Algorithms reference NYC midnight (Hour 1)
• Market makers defend key ranges (Hour 2)
• When all three agree = highest probability level of the day
Win rate: 80-90% when all 3 hours align
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 3: GRADE A+ / S+ REVERSAL HUNTING ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Elite Setups
Concept: When price extends to A+ or S+ zones, it's overextended. These zones offer 1:5 to 1:8 risk/reward setups.
IDENTIFICATION:
1. Price moves 3.5x-5x the Hour 1 range (A+ or S+ territory)
2. Look for A+ or S+ label to appear (or ⚡👑 emojis)
3. Watch for rejection signals:
- Massive wick (2-3x candle body)
- Doji at the zone
- Engulfing reversal
- Volume exhaustion
A+ TRADE EXAMPLE (Long):
• Hour 1: $100 range
• Price drops 400 points below Hour 1 low (4x range = A+ zone)
• A+ label appears at 3:45 AM
• 15-min candle shows massive lower wick, closes green
• Entry: $-395 (above reversal candle)
• Stop: $-420 (below A+ zone) = 25 point risk
• Target 1: Hour 1 low (+395 points) = 15:1 R:R
• Actual result: Price reaches Hour 1 midline (+250 points) = 10:1 R:R
S+ TRADE EXAMPLE (Short):
• Hour 1: $50 range
• Price rallies 250 points above Hour 1 high (5x range = S+ zone)
• S+ label (👑 emoji) appears at 9:42 AM during NY open
• 5-min candle closes with huge upper wick, bearish engulfing
• Entry: +245 (below reversal candle)
• Stop: +260 (above S+ zone) = 15 point risk
• Target 1: Hour 1 high (+0) = 16:1 R:R
CRITICAL RULES:
• NEVER enter without confirmation - wait for reversal candle
• ALWAYS check for confluence - previous day high/low, round numbers, trendlines
• Use tight stops - these zones should hold; if they don't, get out fast
• Scale out - take 1/3 profit at Hour 1 boundary, let rest run
Frequency:
• A+: 3-5 times per week (crypto), weekly (forex)
• S+: 1-2 times per week (crypto), monthly (forex)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 4: FEDWIRE BREAKOUT (Hour 3 Explosive Move) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
News Trading
Concept: 08:30 EST is when everything happens - economic data releases AND Federal Reserve Fedwire opens. This creates the most explosive moves of the day.
PRE-SETUP (Before 08:30):
1. Note Hour 1 high/low
2. Note Hour 2 range
3. Identify nearby Fibonacci zones (C+, B+, A+ likely targets)
4. Check first candle bias (black lines):
- If first candle closed bullish (close > open) = Bias for longs
- If first candle closed bearish (close < open) = Bias for shorts
AT 08:30 (News Release):
1. Data drops (NFP, CPI, Fed decision, etc.)
2. Price explodes - watch which way
3. Decision matrix:
SCENARIO A: CLEAN BREAKOUT
• Price closes strongly above Hour 1 high (or below low)
• No major wick (confirms real breakout, not fake-out)
• Hour 3 blue box starts forming ABOVE Hour 1 (bullish) or BELOW Hour 1 (bearish)
• Trade: Enter in breakout direction
• Target: Next Fibonacci zone (C+ or B+)
• Stop: Hour 1 midline (or back inside Hour 1 range)
SCENARIO B: FAKE-OUT THEN REVERSAL
• Price spikes to A+ or S+ zone then violently reverses
• Label appears at the extreme (A+ or S+)
• Hour 3 box starts forming back toward Hour 1
• Trade: Fade the spike, enter reversal
• Target: Hour 1 midline or opposite side
• Stop: Beyond the spike high/low
REAL EXAMPLE:
• NFP at 08:30 EST
• Hour 1: $50,000-$50,500
• Initial spike to $51,300 (A+ zone above, +800 from high)
• A+ label appears, massive rejection wick
• Price crashes back to $50,700 in 15 minutes
• Trade: Short at $51,200 (below A+ zone), stop $51,400 (200 risk)
• Result: Exit at $50,700 (500 profit) = 2.5:1 R:R in 15 minutes
PRO TIPS:
• Use limit orders to avoid slippage during news
• Wait for Hour 3 box to confirm direction (if blue box forms above Hour 1 = bullish confirmed)
• Don't chase - let the initial spike settle (first 2-3 candles)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 5: MIDLINE CROSS SCALPING ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Active Trading
Concept: The yellow labels are your trade alerts. When a label appears, price has hit a critical level - act immediately.
SETUP:
1. Enable "Show Fibonacci Midline Crosses" (default ON)
2. Set "First Touch Only" to FALSE (to see all touches)
3. Watch the chart like a hawk
WHEN A LABEL APPEARS:
1. Note the grade: GZ, C+, B+, A+, S+, etc.
2. Check the candle:
- Wick rejecting the midline? = BOUNCE trade
- Body closing through the midline? = BREAKOUT trade
BOUNCE SCALP:
• Signal: S+ label appears, candle closes with long wick rejecting the level
• Entry: Market order OR limit at the midline on retest
• Stop: 10-20 pips beyond the zone (tight!)
• Target: Previous zone midline (quick 30-60 pip scalp)
• Hold time: 15-60 minutes
BREAKTHROUGH SCALP:
• Signal: D+ label appears, price blasts through without hesitation
• Entry: On the break, ride to next zone
• Stop: Back below/above the midline (tight!)
• Target: Next zone midline (quick 40-80 pip scalp)
• Hold time: 10-45 minutes
BEST PAIRS FOR SCALPING:
• BTC/USD: 5-min chart, 50-150 point moves between zones
• EUR/USD: 1-min chart, 10-30 pip moves between zones
• ES futures: 1-min chart, 10-25 point moves between zones
Best times:
• London open (02:00-05:00 EST)
• NY open (09:30-11:00 EST)

ADVANCED TRADING CONCEPTS
1. THE FIRST CANDLE BIAS (Black Lines)
The two black lines extending from midnight represent the OPEN and CLOSE of the very first 00:00 EST candle.
HOW TO READ IT:
• Close ABOVE Open (upper black line higher) = BULLISH BIAS
Look for LONGS at Hour 1 low, GZ below, bounces
• Close BELOW Open (lower black line higher) = BEARISH BIAS
Look for SHORTS at Hour 1 high, GZ above, rejections
• Large gap between lines = STRONG CONVICTION
• Small gap (nearly touching) = CHOPPY DAY ahead
WHY IT MATTERS:
• First candle = institutional intent
• If big money opens with a bullish candle, they're likely buying all day
• Trade WITH the first candle bias, not against it
STATISTICAL EDGE:
• Trades aligned with first candle bias: 70-75% win rate
• Trades against first candle bias: 45-50% win rate
• Moral: Don't fight the first candle!
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2. ZONE STACKING - THE CONFLUENCE MULTIPLIER
When multiple factors align at a Fibonacci zone, the setup becomes exponentially more powerful.
PERFECT CONFLUENCE CHECKLIST:
✅ Price at A+ or S+ Fibonacci zone
✅ Aligns with previous day high/low
✅ Aligns with Hour 2 or Hour 3 boundary
✅ Round number nearby (100.00, 2000.00, 50000.00)
✅ Trendline from daily/weekly chart
✅ Volume spike on approach
✅ First candle bias supports the trade
EXAMPLE OF PERFECT STACK:
• Hour 1 high: $5000
• A+ zone: $5360 (3.6x range above)
• Previous day high: $5355
• Round number: $5350-$5400 zone
• Weekly trendline resistance: $5370
• First candle: Bearish (supports shorts)
• = $5350-$5370 is a MONSTER reversal zone
HOW TO TRADE THE STACK:
• Enter short at $5350-5360 with high confidence
• Stop: $5380 (tight, above all confluence)
• Target: $5000 (Hour 1 high) = 350-360 profit / 20-30 risk = 12:1 R:R
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3. THE HOUR 4 BIAS CONFIRMATION
Hour 4 (09:30-10:30 EST) is when the real trend reveals itself.
BULLISH CONFIRMATION:
• Hour 4 purple box opens ABOVE Hour 1 high
• Price holding above Hour 1 or Hour 2 highs
• Trade: Buy dips to Hour 1 high, Hour 2 high, or Fibonacci retracements
• Target: B+, A+, or S+ zones above
BEARISH CONFIRMATION:
• Hour 4 purple box opens BELOW Hour 1 low
• Price holding below Hour 1 or Hour 2 lows
• Trade: Sell rallies to Hour 1 low, Hour 2 low, or Fibonacci retracements
• Target: B+, A+, or S+ zones below
RANGE CONFIRMATION:
• Hour 4 opens INSIDE Hour 1 range
• Trade: Fade the extremes (sell Hour 1 high, buy Hour 1 low)
• Target: Hour 1 midline (quick scalps)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
❌ Trading before Hour 1 completes - Fibonacci zones don't exist until 01:00 EST - be patient!
❌ Ignoring the first candle bias - If first candle is bullish, don't force shorts all day
❌ Chasing without confirmation - Wait for labels + reversal patterns, don't FOMO
❌ Trading low-grade zones (D+) without confluence - D+ alone is weak - need multiple factors aligning
❌ Not using stops - Fibonacci zones should hold - if they don't, exit immediately
❌ Overcomplicating with all 4 hours - If confused, just use Hour 1 + Fibonacci - that's 80% of the edge
❌ Using wrong visual mode for market conditions - Ranging market? Use Golden Zones. Trending market? Use Graded Setups
❌ Ignoring Hour 3 (Fedwire) - 08:30-09:30 is the WILDEST hour - respect it
❌ Not scaling out profits - Take partial profits at zone boundaries, let winners run
❌ Fighting multi-hour alignment - When Hour 1, 2, 3 all agree on a level, don't fade it

PRO TIPS FROM THE TRENCHES
💡 Hour 1 is the anchor - Everything references Hour 1 - if you only remember one thing, remember this
💡 First candle = daily bias - Trade with it, not against it - 70%+ win rate boost
💡 S+ zones are magnets - When reached, they almost always reverse - 75-80% win rate
💡 Multi-hour alignment is king - When Hour 1, 2, 3 all defend the same level = 85%+ hold rate
💡 Fedwire hour is unpredictable - 08:30-09:30 can do anything - use wider stops, wait for confirmation
💡 Labels are your trade alerts - When yellow label appears, stop what you're doing and evaluate
💡 In Graded Setups mode, darker = better - S++ and EXPERT zones are SOLID color = highest quality
💡 Golden Zone + first touch = 80% win rate - First GZ touch after midnight is the best trade of the day
💡 Don't overtrade Hour 1 - Let it complete, then trade with patience
💡 This system works on all timeframes - 1-min for scalping, 5-min for day trading, 15-min for swing trading
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What's the difference between this and the other NYC indicators?
A: This is the COMPLETE SYSTEM. It has 4 hours (not just 1), 10 Fibonacci zones (not just 2), automatic midline detection, and multiple visual modes. It's the professional version.
Q: Which visual mode should I use?
A: Graded Setups for trending/breakout trading (crypto, indices). Golden Zones for ranging/mean-reversion trading (forex, gold).
Q: Do I need all 4 hours?
A: No. Hour 1 + Hour 3 are most important. You can disable Hour 2 and 4 if chart is too busy.
Q: What's the best Fibonacci zone?
A: Golden Zone (highest win rate 75-85%), A+ (best risk/reward), S+ (biggest moves).
Q: How do I know which zone to trade?
A: Wait for the yellow label to appear - that's your signal price has hit the zone midline.
Q: Can I use this on stocks?
A: Yes, but it works best on 24-hour markets (crypto, forex, futures). Individual stocks don't have true NYC midnight ranges.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: 5-minute for most trading. 1-minute for scalping. 15-minute for swing trading.
Q: Why is Hour 4 only 09:30-10:30 and not 09:30-16:00?
A: The PRO VERSION focuses on the first hour of the NY session (09:30-10:30) as that's when the most important moves happen. If you want coverage until 16:00, you can adjust the settings or use the standard Fedwire version.
Q: What's "First Touch Only" mode?
A: It only shows the first time each midline is touched after midnight. Keeps charts clean and focuses on highest-probability setups.
Q: How often do S+ or S++ zones get hit?
A: Crypto: S+ weekly, S++ monthly. Forex: S+ monthly, S++ quarterly. When they hit, they're huge.
Q: Can zones be wrong?
A: Yes, rarely. That's why you always use stops and wait for confirmation (reversal patterns, volume, confluence).

NYC MIDNIGHT LIQUIDATIONS PRO INDICATOR - COMPLETE TRADING GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This is an advanced version of the NYC Midnight indicator that adds liquidation zones - strategic price levels where leveraged traders get liquidated (forced out of positions). It combines the Hour 1 range concept with crypto/forex liquidation hunting strategies.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CORE COMPONENTS

• Yellow box showing 00:00-01:00 EST high/low
• Black lines for first candle open/close
• Yellow midline (dashed)
• Orange daily separator
• Candle coloring (yellow/green/red/gray)
2. Liquidation Zones (NEW)
Multiple zones stacked above and below the Hour 1 range, each representing where traders using different leverage levels will be liquidated.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIQUIDATION ZONE HIERARCHY
The indicator shows 10 liquidation zones (or 11 in "Thin" mode), ordered from closest to furthest from Hour 1 range:
GOLDEN ZONE (GZ LIQ) - Closest to range

VISUAL MODES EXPLAINED
1. GOLDEN ZONES (Default)
• All zones = YELLOW
• Best for: Neutral trading, seeing all liquidation levels equally
• Philosophy: "All liquidations are opportunities"
2. GRADED SETUPS
• Upward zones = GREEN
• Downward zones = RED
• Best for: Directional trading
• Philosophy: "Trade with the trend"
3. INVERSE LIQS
• Upward zones = RED (short opportunities)
• Downward zones = GREEN (long opportunities)
• Best for: Contrarian/reversal trading
• Philosophy: "Fade the liquidation cascade"
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO TRADE LIQUIDATION ZONES
STRATEGY 1: LIQUIDATION HUNTING (Most Profitable)
When price reaches a liquidation zone, it often:
1. Wicks into the zone (liquidates traders)
2. Reverses sharply (no more sellers/buyers)
3. Returns toward Hour 1 range
LONG SETUP (at lower zones):
1. Wait for price to enter a liquidation zone (S+, S++, or A+)
2. Look for rejection wick or reversal candle
3. Enter on confirmation (bullish engulfing, hammer, etc.)
4. Stop loss: Below the liquidation zone
5. Target: Hour 1 midline OR opposite side of range
SHORT SETUP (at upper zones):
1. Wait for price to enter a liquidation zone
2. Look for rejection at zone midline
3. Enter on bearish confirmation
4. Stop loss: Above the liquidation zone
5. Target: Hour 1 midline OR opposite side
Best zones for this strategy: S+, S++, S+++, A+
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 2: LIQUIDATION CASCADE RIDING
Sometimes price blows through multiple zones (liquidation cascade). Ride the momentum:
Setup:
1. Price breaks through GZ or C+ cleanly
2. Enter in direction of break
3. Hold until S+ or S++ zone
4. Target: Next liquidation zone
5. Stop: Behind previous zone
Warning: This is aggressive. Use tight stops.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 3: CROSS LABEL TRADING
The indicator shows yellow labels when price crosses liquidation zone midlines (if enabled).
How to use:
1. Enable "Show Liq Zone Cross Labels"
2. When you see a label appear (e.g., "S+"), price just crossed that zone
3. Reversal trade: Fade the move back to Hour 1
4. Continuation trade: Wait for retest and continue in that direction
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 4: ZONE STACKING
When multiple liquidation zones align with other technical confluences:
Perfect setup checklist:
✅ Price at S+ or S++ liquidation zone
✅ Previous day high/low nearby
✅ Fibonacci level (0.618, 0.786)
✅ Round number (e.g., 100.00, 2000.00)
✅ Trendline or support/resistance
= MONSTER TRADE SETUP
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS GUIDE
LIQUIDATION ZONE MODE:
"Expanded Liq Zones" (Default)
• Zones spread out more
• S+ at 2.0-2.5%, PRO at 6.67-10%
• Best for: Volatile markets (crypto, indices)
• Use when: Hour 1 range is small (<0.5%)
"Thin Liq Zones"
• Zones closer together
• Adds GURU zone (22x-24x)
• S+ at 1.818-2%, PRO at 3.03-3.333%
• Best for: Forex, stable markets
• Use when: Hour 1 range is large (>1%)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TRADING TIPS
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Position size: Risk 1-2% per trade
• Stop placement: Just beyond the liquidation zone (10-20 pips)
• Profit targets: 2-3x your risk minimum
BEST TIMES TO TRADE
1. 2:00-5:00 EST (London session) - Highest volatility
2. 8:00-11:00 EST (NY/London overlap)
3. 20:00-00:00 EST (Asian session for crypto)
MARKET-SPECIFIC TIPS
Crypto (BTC, ETH):
• Use "Expanded Liq Zones"
• Focus on S+, S++, S+++ zones
• Liquidation cascades are common
• Best on 5-15 minute charts
Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD):
• Use "Thin Liq Zones"
• A+ and B+ zones work best
• More mean-reverting behavior
• Best on 5-minute charts
Indices (ES, NQ, SPY):
• Either mode works
• Respect PRO zone during news
• More reliable liquidation hunts
• Best on 1-5 minute charts
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
READING THE CHART
Yellow Labels at Top/Bottom
• Appear when price crosses a zone midline
• Quick visual confirmation of liquidation levels being hit
• Use for entry timing
Dashed Midlines
• These are your precise entry levels
• Price often reacts strongest at midlines
• Watch for rejection candles here
Shaded Background
• Yellow shading after 01:00 EST = still inside Hour 1 range
• Shows where consolidation zone is
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
COMMON TRADE SCENARIOS
SCENARIO 1: Clean Liquidation Hunt
1. Price breaks Hour 1 high at 3:00 EST
2. Reaches S+ zone, shows rejection wick
3. Trade: Short back to Hour 1 midline
4. R:R: 1:3 (25 pips risk, 75 pip target)
SCENARIO 2: Cascade to PRO
1. Major news event at 8:30 EST
2. Price blasts through all zones to PRO
3. Trade: Enter continuation at S++ retest
4. Target: PRO zone
SCENARIO 3: Double Liquidation
1. Price hits S+ up, reverses
2. Then hits S+ down, reverses
3. Trade: Fade the extremes, play the range
4. Best on: Low volatility days
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PRO TIPS
✅ The S zones (S+, S++, S+++) are the sweet spot - Most reliable reversals
✅ Combine with Hour 1 midline - When liquidation zone aligns with midline = strong level
✅ Watch volume - High volume at liquidation zones = stronger reversal
✅ Use alerts - Set price alerts at key liquidation zones
✅ Don't overtrade GZ and C+ - Too close to range, too choppy
✅ PRO zone = respect it - If price reaches PRO, it's a strong move (10%+ from Hour 1)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT NOT TO DO
❌ Don't enter blindly when price hits a zone - wait for confirmation
❌ Don't hold through multiple zones without trailing stops
❌ Don't ignore the Hour 1 range - it's still the foundation
❌ Don't trade liquidation zones in low liquidity (Sunday nights, holidays)
❌ Don't use the same position size for all zones - further zones = larger moves
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY DIFFERENCES FROM LITE VERSION
Feature LITE Liquidations
Liquidation zones ❌ ✅ (10-11 zones)
Cross labels ❌ ✅
Visual modes ❌ ✅ (3 modes)
Zone modes ❌ ✅ (Expanded/Thin)
Complexity Beginner Advanced
Best for Learning Hunting liquidations
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BOTTOM LINE
This indicator is a liquidation hunting machine . It shows you exactly where over-leveraged traders will be forced out of their positions, creating explosive reversal opportunities. The S+/S++/S+++ zones are where the magic happens. Master these zones, and you'll never look at price action the same way again.
Remember: Liquidations create volatility and opportunity , but they also create risk . Always use stops and proper position sizing!

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
NYC MIDNIGHT PRO + LARGE ORDER DETECTION 🐳 - COMPLETE TRADING GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This is the ULTIMATE WHALE HUNTING SYSTEM that combines:
1. NYC Midnight Hour 1 Range (the foundation - 00:00-01:00 EST)
2. Large Order Detection (real-time institutional volume tracking)
3. Smart Emoji Alerts (visual whale spotting system)
4. Volume-Based Classification (4 tiers from small fish to whales)
Think of it as having X-ray vision into institutional order flow combined with the proven NYC Midnight framework. You'll see EXACTLY when big money enters or exits, and where they're doing it relative to the daily range.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE TWO-COMPONENT SYSTEM
COMPONENT 1: NYC MIDNIGHT (The Map)
• Yellow box: Hour 1 range (00:00-01:00 EST)
• Yellow lines: High and low boundaries extending to current price
• Black lines: First candle open and close (directional bias)
• Orange line: Daily separator at midnight
• Candle colors: Yellow (Hour 1), Green (above), Red (below), Gray (inside)
This shows you WHERE the institutional levels are
COMPONENT 2: LARGE ORDER DETECTION (The Whales)
• Real-time volume analysis: Compares current volume to 50-bar average
• 4 size classifications: Small, Normal, Large, Huge
• Buy/Sell identification: Green candles = buys, Red candles = sells
• Visual alerts: Emojis appear on chart when whales trade
This shows you WHEN the big money is moving
THE MAGIC: When a WHALE (large order) appears AT an NYC level (Hour 1 high/low/mid), that's your ULTIMATE TRADE SIGNAL .
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
UNDERSTANDING LARGE ORDERS - THE WHALE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
The indicator analyzes volume and classifies orders into 4 TIERS :
🐟 SMALL ORDERS (Minnows)
• Volume threshold: 2.0x average volume
• Who's trading: Retail traders, small funds
• Market impact: Minimal - background noise
• Emoji (Classic): 🐟 (small fish)
• Emoji (Freestyle): 🌱 (buy) / 🍂 (sell)
• Trade significance: ⭐ - Usually ignore unless at key level
• Colors: Lime (buy) / Orange (sell)
🐬 NORMAL ORDERS (Dolphins)
• Volume threshold: 3.0x average volume (1.5x threshold × 2.0 multiplier)
• Who's trading: Small institutions, active funds
• Market impact: Moderate - can move price short-term
• Emoji (Classic): 🐬 (dolphin)
• Emoji (Freestyle): 💹 (buy) / 🧨 (sell)
• Trade significance: ⭐⭐⭐ - Pay attention at NYC levels
• Colors: Green (buy) / Red (sell)
🐋 LARGE ORDERS (Whales)
• Volume threshold: 4.0x average volume (2.0x threshold × 2.0 multiplier)
• Who's trading: Large institutions, hedge funds, market makers
• Market impact: Significant - often marks reversals or breakouts
• Emoji (Classic): 🐋 (whale)
• Emoji (Freestyle): 🚀 (buy) / 🛑 (sell)
• Trade significance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HIGH PRIORITY
• Colors: Teal (buy) / Maroon (sell)
🐳 HUGE ORDERS (Blue Whales / Orcas)
• Volume threshold: 6.0x average volume (3.0x threshold × 2.0 multiplier)
• Who's trading: Central banks, sovereign wealth funds, mega institutions
• Market impact: MASSIVE - often defines the move for hours/days
• Emoji (Classic): 🐳 (blue whale) for buys, 🐙 (octopus) for sells (Freestyle)
• Emoji (Freestyle): 🐳 (buy) / 🐙 (sell)
• Trade significance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LEGENDARY - DROP EVERYTHING
• Colors: Blue (buy) / Purple (sell)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW THE VOLUME DETECTION WORKS
THE MATH:
1. Indicator calculates 50-bar average volume (default lookback period)
2. Current bar's volume is compared to this average
3. Threshold multiplier (default 2.0x) determines sensitivity
4. Orders are classified based on how much they exceed the threshold
EXAMPLE:
• Average volume: 100,000 contracts
• Threshold: 2.0x = 200,000 contracts
Classifications:
• 🐟 Small: 200,000 - 300,000 (2.0x - 3.0x threshold)
• 🐬 Normal: 300,000 - 400,000 (3.0x - 4.0x threshold)
• 🐋 Large: 400,000 - 600,000 (4.0x - 6.0x threshold)
• 🐳 Huge: 600,000+ (6.0x+ threshold)
BUY vs SELL IDENTIFICATION:
• Bullish candle (close > open) = Buy order
• Bearish candle (close < open) = Sell order
• Doji candle (close = open) = Split 50/50 buy/sell
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
DISPLAY MODES EXPLAINED
The indicator offers 3 VISUAL STYLES for displaying whale alerts:
MODE 1: EMOJI ONLY (Default - Clean & Simple)
• Shows only the emoji
• Emoji is colored based on order type
• Background label has subtle colored glow
• Size increases with order size (normal → large → huge)
Best for: Clean charts, experienced traders who know what each emoji means
Example:
• 🐟 = Small buy at low
• 🐳 = Huge buy at low
• 🐙 = Huge sell at high
MODE 2: EMOJI + LABEL (Balanced)
• Shows the emoji inside a colored label box
• Label background color matches order type
• Slightly larger than emoji-only mode
Best for: Most traders - good balance of clarity and cleanliness
Example:
• Lime box with 🐟 inside = Small buy
• Blue box with 🐳 inside = Huge buy
MODE 3: LABELED EMOJI (Full Information)
• Shows emoji + text description
• Text says "Small Buy", "Large Sell", "Huge Buy", etc.
• Takes more chart space but is crystal clear
Best for: Learning, demo trading, presentations
Example:
• 🐟 Small Buy
• 🐳 Huge Buy
• 🐙 Huge Sell
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

READING THE CHART - VISUAL GUIDE
PERFECT SETUP EXAMPLE:
Imagine you're looking at your chart at 3:00 AM EST:
1. Yellow box shows Hour 1 range: High at $50,000, Low at $49,500
2. Yellow lines extend to current price showing these levels are still active
3. Black lines show first candle closed bearish (sell pressure at open)
4. Price drops to $49,500 (Hour 1 low)
5. A HUGE BLUE WHALE 🐳 appears at $49,500 (massive buy order)
6. Next candle closes green above $49,600
What just happened?
• Institutions defended the Hour 1 low
• A 6.0x+ average volume BUY came in at the exact level
• This is your signal: GO LONG
Your trade:
• Entry: $49,550 (above the whale)
• Stop: $49,400 (below Hour 1 low)
• Target: $50,000 (Hour 1 high) = 450 point gain for 150 point risk (1:3 R:R)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGIES - THE WHALE HUNTING PLAYBOOK
STRATEGY 1: WHALE AT HOUR 1 BOUNDARIES ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Setup
Concept: When a LARGE or HUGE order appears right at Hour 1 high or low, institutions are defending that level .
LONG SETUP - Whale at Hour 1 Low:
1. Hour 1 range established (01:00 EST passed)
2. Price drops to Hour 1 low
3. 🐋 WHALE or 🐳 HUGE WHALE appears (teal or blue emoji)
4. Candle closes green (bullish reversal)
5. Entry: Next candle open OR break of reversal candle high
6. Stop loss: 10-20 points below Hour 1 low
7. Target 1: Hour 1 midline
8. Target 2: Hour 1 high
9. Target 3: Let it run if strong momentum
SHORT SETUP - Whale at Hour 1 High:
1. Hour 1 range established
2. Price rallies to Hour 1 high
3. 🐋 WHALE or 🐙 HUGE SELL appears (maroon or purple emoji)
4. Candle closes red (bearish rejection)
5. Entry: Next candle open OR break of reversal candle low
6. Stop loss: 10-20 points above Hour 1 high
7. Target 1: Hour 1 midline
8. Target 2: Hour 1 low
9. Target 3: Let it run if strong momentum
Why it works:
• Hour 1 levels are institutional reference points
• Large orders at these levels = smart money positioning
• The combination is double confirmation
Win rate: 75-85% with proper entry
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5 (excellent)
Best markets: Crypto (BTC, ETH), Indices (ES, NQ)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 2: WHALE REVERSAL AT MIDLINE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Probability
Concept: The Hour 1 midline (yellow dashed line) is a magnetic level . Whales often enter there.
Setup:
1. Price is trading inside Hour 1 range (gray candles)
2. Price approaches Hour 1 midline
3. 🐋 LARGE or 🐳 HUGE order appears AT the midline
4. Decision:
• If BUY whale (teal/blue) appears → Go LONG
• If SELL whale (maroon/purple) appears → Go SHORT
LONG ENTRY:
• Whale: 🐋 or 🐳 appears at midline
• Confirmation: Bullish candle close
• Entry: Above the whale candle high
• Stop: Hour 1 low
• Target: Hour 1 high
SHORT ENTRY:
• Whale: 🐋 or 🐙 appears at midline
• Confirmation: Bearish candle close
• Entry: Below the whale candle low
• Stop: Hour 1 high
• Target: Hour 1 low
Pro tip: The first whale at midline usually marks the direction for the next few hours.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 3: WHALE BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trending Markets
Concept: When price breaks Hour 1 high or low, a whale order confirms the breakout is real and not a fake-out .
BREAKOUT ABOVE HOUR 1 HIGH:
1. Price approaches Hour 1 high
2. Candle closes above Hour 1 high
3. Look for: 🐋 or 🐳 BUY order on the breakout candle OR next candle
4. If whale appears: Breakout is REAL → Enter long
5. If NO whale: Possible fake-out → Wait for confirmation
Trade setup:
• Entry: Above Hour 1 high + whale confirmation
• Stop: Hour 1 midline (or back inside Hour 1 range)
• Target: 2x-3x Hour 1 range size
BREAKOUT BELOW HOUR 1 LOW:
1. Price approaches Hour 1 low
2. Candle closes below Hour 1 low
3. Look for: 🐋 or 🐙 SELL order on the breakout candle OR next candle
4. If whale appears: Breakout is REAL → Enter short
5. If NO whale: Possible fake-out → Wait for confirmation
Trade setup:
• Entry: Below Hour 1 low + whale confirmation
• Stop: Hour 1 midline (or back inside Hour 1 range)
• Target: 2x-3x Hour 1 range size
Why it works: Institutions don't waste big orders on fake-outs. If they're committing large volume to a breakout, they know something .
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 4: WHALE ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swing Trading
Concept: Multiple whales appearing in the same direction at similar price levels = smart money positioning for a bigger move.
ACCUMULATION (Multiple Buy Whales):
1. Price inside Hour 1 range or near Hour 1 low
2. 2-3 WHALE 🐋 or HUGE 🐳 BUY orders appear within 10-20 bars
3. Price not moving much (absorption happening)
4. Signal: Institutions are accumulating before a big up move
How to trade:
• Entry: After 2nd or 3rd whale, on bullish candle close
• Stop: Below the lowest whale order
• Target: Hour 1 high + extension beyond (swing trade)
• Hold time: Several hours to days
DISTRIBUTION (Multiple Sell Whales):
1. Price inside Hour 1 range or near Hour 1 high
2. 2-3 WHALE 🐋 or HUGE 🐙 SELL orders appear within 10-20 bars
3. Price not dropping much yet (distribution happening)
4. Signal: Institutions are distributing before a big down move
How to trade:
• Entry: After 2nd or 3rd whale, on bearish candle close
• Stop: Above the highest whale order
• Target: Hour 1 low + extension beyond (swing trade)
• Hold time: Several hours to days
Pro tip: This is how smart money front-runs major moves. By the time retail sees the move, institutions are already positioned.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 5: IGNORE THE NOISE (Small Fish Filter) ⭐⭐⭐ Risk Management
Concept: NOT every whale is a trade . Learn to filter the signals.
IGNORE THESE:
❌ Small orders (🐟) in the middle of nowhere
• These are retail traders
• No predictive value
• Just noise
❌ Normal orders (🐬) not at key levels
• Small institutions or active funds
• Only relevant at Hour 1 boundaries or midline
❌ Whales during low volume hours
• Asian session (20:00-23:00 EST)
• Late NY session (15:00-16:00 EST)
• Weekends
• Low liquidity = less reliable signals
❌ Single whale against the trend
• If trend is up and you see one 🐋 sell, don't fade the trend
• Wait for multiple whales or huge whale
ONLY TRADE THESE:
✅ Large (🐋) or Huge (🐳/🐙) orders at Hour 1 boundaries
✅ Any whale at Hour 1 midline
✅ Whales confirming breakouts
✅ Multiple whales in same direction (accumulation/distribution)
✅ Whales during high-volume sessions (London, NY open)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED CONCEPTS
1. THE WHALE SANDWICH
What it is: When you see BUY whales at Hour 1 low AND SELL whales at Hour 1 high , the range is defended by institutions .
How to trade:
• Fade strategy: Buy at low, sell at high, repeat
• This is a ranging day
• Don't try to break out
• Target: Hour 1 midline each time
Example:
• 🐳 Huge BUY at $49,500 (Hour 1 low)
• 🐙 Huge SELL at $50,000 (Hour 1 high)
• = Trade the range between these levels
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2. THE WHALE STACK
What it is: Multiple whales stacking at the same price level in the same direction .
Example:
• 9:30 AM: 🐋 BUY at $49,500
• 9:45 AM: 🐋 BUY at $49,510
• 10:00 AM: 🐳 BUY at $49,500
= MAJOR SUPPORT ZONE AT $49,500
How to trade:
• Enter when price returns to the whale stack level
• This level will likely hold multiple times
• Each test is a trade opportunity
• Only invalidated if price closes significantly below/above
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3. THE FIRST CANDLE + WHALE COMBO
What it is: Using the first candle bias (black lines) with whale signals for directional confirmation .
Bullish First Candle Setup:
• First candle (00:00 EST) closes above open (black lines show this)
• Look for BUY whales at Hour 1 low or midline
• Avoid sell whales (fighting the bias)
• Bias: Long all day
Bearish First Candle Setup:
• First candle closes below open
• Look for SELL whales at Hour 1 high or midline
• Avoid buy whales (fighting the bias)
• Bias: Short all day
Pro tip: First candle + whale alignment = 80%+ win rate

• Lookback: 50 bars
• Best timeframe: 5-minute
• Whale frequency: 5-10 per day

• Higher (70-100): Less sensitive, only biggest whales (cleaner)
• Recommendation: 50 bars for most markets, 100 for very volatile crypto
Volume Spike Threshold (Default: 2.0x)
• What it does: Multiplier for what qualifies as a "spike"
• Lower (1.5x): More signals (catches smaller fish too)
• Higher (2.5x-3.0x): Fewer signals (only true whales)
• Recommendation: 2.0x for crypto/indices, 1.5x-1.8x for forex
DISPLAY SETTINGS:
Display Mode
• EMOJI ONLY: Cleanest, for experienced traders
• EMOJI + LABEL: Balanced, recommended for most

• Keep ON: Helps you spot whales from across the room
• Turn OFF: If chart looks too busy
NYC MIDNIGHT SETTINGS:
Enable NYC Midnight (Default: ON)
• Turn this OFF if you only want whale detection
Show Hour 1 Box / Midline / Labels
• Keep all ON for full system
• Midline is critical for whale strategies

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
❌ Chasing every whale
• Not every emoji is a trade signal
• Only trade whales at key levels (Hour 1 boundaries, midline, breakouts)
❌ Ignoring the NYC context
• Whale at Hour 1 low = TRADE
• Whale in middle of nowhere = SKIP
❌ Trading against first candle bias
• If first candle is bullish, don't take sell whale signals
• Trade with the bias, not against it
❌ Using wrong threshold for your market
• Forex needs lower threshold (1.5x-1.8x)
• Crypto/indices use standard (2.0x)
• Adjust based on market conditions
❌ Trading small fish (🐟)
• These are retail orders, not institutional
• Only trade 🐬 Normal or larger
❌ Not waiting for confirmation
• See a whale → Wait for candle close → Then enter
• Don't FOMO into the whale candle itself
❌ Overtrading during low volume
• Asian session whales are less reliable
• Focus on London and NY sessions
❌ Ignoring risk management [/b>
• Always use stops (10-20 points from entry)
• Position size: 1-2% risk per trade
• Don't bet the farm on one whale

PRO TIPS FROM THE WHALE HUNTERS
💡 Huge whales (🐳/🐙) are rare
• You might see only 1-3 per day
• When they appear, drop everything
• These often mark major turning points
💡 Multiple whales beat single whales
• 3 normal whales (🐬) in same direction = 1 huge whale (🐳)
• Watch for accumulation patterns
💡 Whales appear at turning points
• End of trends
• Reversals at key levels
• Breakout confirmations
• They don't appear during smooth trends
💡 Color matters
• Blue/Teal = Bullish institution
• Purple/Maroon = Bearish institution [/b>
• The brighter the color, the bigger the order
💡 First whale sets the tone
• First large whale of the day often predicts direction
• If first whale is at Hour 1 low (buy), expect bullish day
• If first whale is at Hour 1 high (sell), expect bearish day
💡 Whales at midline = range continuation
• If whales keep appearing at Hour 1 midline, the range is defended
• Trade bounces off midline until it breaks
💡 No whales = no institutions = be careful
• If you don't see whales for hours, market is retail-driven
• Retail markets are choppy and unpredictable
• Sit on hands until whales return
💡 Background highlight helps
• Keep "Highlight Large Orders Background" ON
• You can spot whale bars from across the room
• This is your "someone just traded big" alarm
💡 Emoji size = importance
• 🐟 (small) = Ignore
• 🐬 (normal) = Note it
• 🐋 (large) = Pay attention
• 🐳 (huge) = TRADE IT
💡 Whales don't guarantee winners
• They're high probability signals , not certainties
• Always use stops
• Always manage risk
• Whales can be wrong too (rarely, but it happens)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What's the difference between this and the other NYC indicators?
A: This adds LARGE ORDER DETECTION . The others just show NYC ranges. This shows you when institutional money is moving AND where (relative to NYC levels).
Q: Is volume data reliable?
A: YES for crypto and futures (ES, NQ). LESS SO for forex (estimated volume). BEST on crypto exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Bybit.
Q: Can I use this without the NYC component?
A: Yes, turn off "Enable NYC Midnight". But you'll lose the context . Whales are most meaningful at NYC levels.
Q: How many whales should I see per day?
A:
• Crypto: 5-15 large/huge whales
• Indices: 8-15 large/huge whales
• Forex: 3-8 large/huge whales
• If you see 50+, your threshold is too low (increase it)
Q: What if I see a huge buy AND huge sell at the same level?
A: BATTLE ZONE . Institutions are fighting. Wait for one side to win (multiple whales on one side, or breakout).
Q: Should I trade every whale I see?
A: NO. Only trade whales at:
• Hour 1 high/low/midline
• Breakout confirmations
• Accumulation/distribution patterns
• First candle bias alignment
Q: Can I use this on stocks?
A: Yes, but individual stocks have less reliable volume. Best on: SPY, QQQ, major ETFs. Avoid: Low-volume small caps.
Q: What's the best emoji theme?
A: Classic Fish if you like the traditional whale hunting metaphor. Freestyle Creative if you want more "action" visuals. Try both, see what clicks.
Q: What if I don't see any whales all day?
A: Low institutional participation . Either:
• Market holiday
• Weekend (crypto)
• Post-major event (institutions waiting)
• Don't force trades - wait for whales to return
Q: Can whales be wrong?
A: Yes, rarely. Institutions are smart but not perfect. That's why we:
• Wait for confirmation (candle close)
• Use stops (always)
• Look for multiple signals (whale + NYC level + first candle bias)
Q: What's the biggest trade you've seen with this?
A: Real example: BTC at Hour 1 low ($48,500), 🐳 Huge Buy appeared, held for 12 hours, exit at Hour 1 high + 2x extension ($52,000) = $3,500 move, 1:7 R:R. This is what we hunt for.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FINAL WORDS - THE WHALE HUNTER'S CREED
This indicator gives you institutional X-ray vision .
You see:
• WHERE the smart money is (NYC Hour 1 levels)
• WHEN the smart money moves (whale alerts)
• HOW MUCH they're moving (4-tier classification)
• DIRECTION they're moving (buy vs sell)
Your edge:
• Patience - Wait for whales at key levels
• Confirmation - Don't jump early, let the setup develop
• Discipline - Only trade the best setups
• Risk management - Always use stops, always size properly
Remember:
• 🐟 Small fish = Noise (ignore)
• 🐬 Dolphins = Context (note it)
• 🐋 Whales = Opportunity (trade it)
• 🐳 Blue whales = GOLD (drop everything)
The market is an ocean. You're not fishing for minnows. You're hunting whales.
When a blue whale (🐳) appears at Hour 1 low or high, that's your signal.
The institutions are positioning. Will you follow them, or fight them?
Hunt smart. Hunt with the whales. 🐳

VISUAL MODES EXPLAINED
The indicator offers TWO visual modes to suit your trading style:
1. GOLDEN ZONES MODE (Default)
• All zones display in YELLOW
• Best for: Neutral analysis, seeing all levels equally
• Philosophy: "Every Fibonacci level is sacred"
• When to use: Range-bound markets, uncertainty
• Mental approach: "Let price tell me which way to trade"
2. GRADED SETUPS MODE
• Zones ABOVE Hour 1 high = RED (darker as grade increases)
• Zones BELOW Hour 1 low = GREEN/LIME (darker as grade increases)
• Golden Zone stays YELLOW (always sacred)
• Best for: Directional bias, visual clarity
• Philosophy: "Grade the quality of the move"
• When to use: Trending markets, breakout scenarios
• Mental approach: "I'm looking for specific grade setups"
Pro Tip: In Graded Setups mode, the S++ and S+++ zones are the DARKEST colors - they stand out visually when extreme moves happen.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGIES - THE COMPLETE PLAYBOOK
STRATEGY 1: THE GOLDEN ZONE BOUNCE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highest Win Rate
Concept: The Golden Zone (0.618-0.786) is the highest probability reversal area in all of trading.
LONG SETUP:
1. Hour 1 completes at 01:00 EST
2. Price moves DOWN toward the Golden Zone below Hour 1 low
3. Watch for midline touch (you'll see "GZ" label appear)
4. Entry: When price touches GZ midline + bullish candle pattern
5. Stop loss: Below the GZ zone (below the 0.50 level)
6. Target 1: Hour 1 midline
7. Target 2: Hour 1 high
8. Target 3: Opposite GZ zone (above Hour 1)
SHORT SETUP:
1. Hour 1 completes at 01:00 EST
2. Price moves UP toward the Golden Zone above Hour 1 high
3. Watch for midline touch (you'll see "GZ" label appear)
4. Entry: When price touches GZ midline + bearish candle pattern
5. Stop loss: Above the GZ zone (above the 0.79 level)
6. Target 1: Hour 1 midline
7. Target 2: Hour 1 low
8. Target 3: Opposite GZ zone (below Hour 1)
Best times to trade this:
• 02:00-05:00 EST (London session)
• 08:30-10:00 EST (NY open)
• After news releases
Win rate: 70-80% with proper confirmation
Risk/Reward: 1:3 minimum (targeting Hour 1 midline)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 2: GRADE A+ / B+ / C+ REVERSALS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Probability
Concept: When price extends 1.5-4x the Hour 1 range, it's overextended and due for a reversal.
The Setup:
1. Hour 1 range established
2. Price breaks out and reaches B+, A+, or even S+ zones
3. Wait for a midline touch (B+, A+, or S+ label appears)
4. Look for rejection signals:
• Long upper/lower wicks
• Doji or pin bar
• Engulfing pattern
• Volume spike
LONG ENTRY (at lower zones):
• Price in B+, A+, or S+ zone BELOW Hour 1 low
• Midline touch occurs
• Bullish reversal pattern
• Entry: Next candle open or break of reversal candle high
• Stop: Below the zone (tight 10-20 pips)
• Target: Previous zone midline → Hour 1 low → Hour 1 mid
SHORT ENTRY (at upper zones):
• Price in B+, A+, or S+ zone ABOVE Hour 1 high
• Midline touch occurs
• Bearish reversal pattern
• Entry: Next candle open or break of reversal candle low
• Stop: Above the zone (tight 10-20 pips)
• Target: Previous zone midline → Hour 1 high → Hour 1 mid
Pro Tips:
• A+ setups (3.618-4.0x) have the best risk/reward
• S+ setups (4.618-5.0x) are rare but explosive
• B+ setups (2.618-3.0x) are most common during trending days
• Always check for confluence with previous day high/low
Best markets: Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), Indices (ES, NQ)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 3: MULTI-HOUR RANGE ALIGNMENT ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Institutional Play
Concept: When multiple hour ranges align or overlap, those levels become magnetic price zones.
What to look for:
• Hour 1 high aligns with Hour 2 low
• Hour 3 (Fedwire) range respects Hour 1 boundaries
• Hour 4 (NY session) stays within expanded range
POWER SETUP - Triple Alignment:
1. Hour 1 high = $4500
2. Hour 2 range: $4495-$4510 (overlaps Hour 1 high)
3. Hour 3 (Fedwire) tests $4500 multiple times
4. This means $4500 is a MAJOR level
How to trade it:
• If price is BELOW $4500: Buy when it approaches, stop below Hour 1 low
• If price is ABOVE $4500: Sell when it approaches, stop above Hour 2 high
• Target: Opposite boundary of the aligned ranges
Why it works: Multiple institutions are watching the same levels. Banks trade off Fedwire levels, algos trade off Hour 1, market makers defend key ranges.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 4: FEDWIRE BREAKOUT (Hour 3 Play) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ News Trading
Concept: 08:30 EST is economic data release time AND when the Federal Reserve Fedwire system opens. This creates explosive volatility.
Pre-Setup (before 08:30):
1. Hour 1 and Hour 2 ranges established
2. Note where Hour 1 high/low sits
3. Identify which Fibonacci zones are nearby
4. Bias: Look at first candle (black lines) - bullish or bearish close?
The Play (08:30-09:30 - Hour 3):
1. News drops at 08:30 (NFP, CPI, Fed decision, etc.)
2. Price violently breaks Hour 1 range
3. Decision point:
• If price clears Hour 1 high/low cleanly → Ride the breakout
• If price fakes out then reverses → Fade the move
BREAKOUT TRADE:
• Entry: Price closes above Hour 1 high (for longs)
• Confirmation: Hour 3 (blue box) forms ABOVE Hour 1
• Stop: Hour 1 midline
• Target: B+ or A+ Fibonacci zone (2.618x-4.0x range)
FADE TRADE:
• Entry: Price spikes into A+ or S+ zone then reverses back into Hour 1
• Confirmation: Rejection wick + label appears
• Stop: Beyond the spike high/low
• Target: Hour 1 midline or opposite side
Risk warning: News can cause slippage. Use limit orders or wait for confirmation.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 5: NY SESSION TREND CONTINUATION (Hour 4) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swing Trading
Concept: The 09:30-16:00 session (Hour 4 - purple) is when real trends develop. Use earlier hours as a roadmap.
Setup:
1. By 09:30, you have Hours 1, 2, and 3 established
2. Identify the dominant direction:
• Price consistently ABOVE Hour 1 high = Bullish day
• Price consistently BELOW Hour 1 low = Bearish day
• Price INSIDE Hour 1 range = Ranging day
BULLISH DAY CONTINUATION:
• Hour 4 opens above Hour 1 high
• Wait for pullback to Hour 1 high or Hour 2 high
• Entry: Bounce off previous hour's high
• Stop: Hour 1 midline
• Target: B+ or A+ zone (aggressive), C+ zone (conservative)
BEARISH DAY CONTINUATION:
• Hour 4 opens below Hour 1 low
• Wait for rally to Hour 1 low or Hour 2 low
• Entry: Rejection off previous hour's low
• Stop: Hour 1 midline
• Target: B+ or A+ zone (aggressive), C+ zone (conservative)
RANGING DAY FADE:
• Hour 4 price action stays inside Hour 1 range
• Strategy: Fade the extremes
• Sell: Hour 1 high tests
• Buy: Hour 1 low tests
• Target: Hour 1 midline (quick scalps)
Best for: Indices (ES, NQ, SPY), Forex majors
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 6: MIDLINE TOUCH SCALPING ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Active Trading
Concept: The dashed midlines through each Fibonacci zone act as micro support/resistance. The yellow labels tell you exactly when to pay attention.
How it works:
1. Enable "Show Fibonacci Midline Crosses" (default is ON)
2. Set "First Touch Only" to FALSE (to see all touches)
3. Watch for yellow labels to appear: GZ, D+, C+, B+, A+, S+
The Trade:
• Label appears = Price just hit a critical midline
• Decision: Will it bounce or break through?
BOUNCE SCALP:
• Label appears at S+, A+, or B+ zone
• Price shows immediate rejection (wick)
• Entry: Market or limit at the midline
• Stop: 10-15 pips beyond the zone
• Target: Previous zone midline (quick 20-40 pip scalp)
BREAKTHROUGH SCALP:
• Label appears at lower grade (D+, C+)
• Price blasts through without hesitation
• Entry: On the break, ride to next zone
• Stop: Back below/above the midline
• Target: Next zone midline
Best timeframes: 1-minute, 5-minute (for active scalping)
Best sessions: London (02:00-05:00), NY Open (09:30-11:00)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TRADING CONCEPTS
1. THE FIRST CANDLE BIAS (Black Lines)
The two black lines extending from midnight represent the OPEN and CLOSE of the very first 00:00 EST candle.
Reading the signal:
• Close ABOVE Open (upper line higher) = Bullish session likely
• Close BELOW Open (lower line higher) = Bearish session likely
• Large gap between lines = Strong directional intent
• Small gap between lines = Choppy/ranging day ahead
How to use it:
• If bullish candle: Look for longs at Hour 1 low, Golden Zone below
• If bearish candle: Look for shorts at Hour 1 high, Golden Zone above
• These lines often act as intraday support/resistance
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2. ZONE STACKING - THE CONFLUENCE MULTIPLIER
When multiple technical factors align at a Fibonacci zone, the setup quality exponentially increases.
Perfect Setup Checklist:
✅ Price at A+ or S+ Fibonacci zone
✅ Aligns with previous day high/low
✅ Aligns with Hour 2 or Hour 3 boundary
✅ Round number nearby (e.g., 100.00, 2000.00, 4500.00)
✅ Trendline confluence
✅ Volume spike
✅ Time confluence (London open, NY open, news)
Example:
• Hour 1 high: $5000
• A+ zone above: $5180
• Previous day high: $5175
• Round number: $5200
• = $5180-$5200 is a MONSTER reversal zone
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3. MANAGING TRADES THROUGH MULTIPLE ZONES
When you enter at one zone and price travels through multiple zones:
Profit-Taking Strategy:
• Entry: Golden Zone reversal
• Target 1 (33%): Hour 1 midline - take partial profit
• Target 2 (33%): Hour 1 high/low - move stop to breakeven
• Target 3 (34%): Opposite D+ or C+ zone - let it run
Stop Loss Management:
• Start: Beyond entry zone
• After Target 1: Move to breakeven
• After Target 2: Trail below/above each zone's midline
• Final: Lock in profits at each Fibonacci level

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
❌ Trading before Hour 1 completes - Wait until 01:00 EST. The range MUST be established first.
❌ Ignoring the first candle bias - If the first candle closes bullish, don't force shorts. Trade with the bias.
❌ Chasing breakouts without confirmation - Wait for a zone touch + reversal pattern. Don't FOMO into moves.
❌ Taking every midline cross signal - Not every label is a trade. Wait for high-grade setups (A+, S+, Golden Zone).
❌ Using the same position size for all zones - S+ zones are rarer → Larger size, wider stop. D+ zones are common → Smaller size, tighter stop.
❌ Overcomplicating with all 4 hours - If confused, just use Hour 1 + Fibonacci zones. That's 90% of the edge.
❌ Not adjusting for market conditions - High volatility (news day): S+ and A+ zones hit frequently. Low volatility (weekend, holiday): Stick to Golden Zone and Hour 1 range.
❌ Fighting the Fedwire hour - 08:30-09:30 EST is the wildest hour. Respect the blue box (Hour 3).

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PRO TIPS FROM THE TRENCHES
💡 The Golden Zone is sacred - If price reaches GZ and you miss the entry, don't chase. Wait for it to come back or move to the next zone.
💡 S+ zones are magnets - When price hits S+, S++, or S+++, it usually reverses hard. These are career-making trades.
💡 First candle = daily roadmap - Bullish first candle (close > open) = Long bias all day. Bearish first candle (close < open) = Short bias all day. Trade with the first candle, not against it.
💡 Fedwire hour is king - The 08:30-09:30 hour (blue box) is where institutions move big money. Respect this hour.
💡 Use confluence - A+ zone + previous day high + round number = triple confluence = TRADE OF THE DAY
💡 Grade means distance, not quality - Don't think "D+ is bad." It means distance from Hour 1. A D+ reversal can be just as profitable as an A+ one.
💡 Graded Setups mode for trends - When market is trending, use Graded Setups visual mode. The darker zones (S++, S+++) will POP visually.
💡 Golden Zones mode for ranging - When market is choppy, use Golden Zones mode. All yellow = treat all levels equally.
💡 Labels are your trade alerts - When a yellow label appears (GZ, C+, A+, S+), that's your notification to pay attention. Check the setup immediately.
💡 Multi-hour alignment is institutional - When Hour 1, Hour 2, and Hour 3 all stack at the same price, that level will hold or break violently. Big money is watching.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Which visual mode should I use?
A: Golden Zones for ranging/choppy markets (all yellow). Graded Setups for trending markets (color-coded by direction). Start with Graded Setups - it's more intuitive.
Q: Do I need all 4 hours enabled?
A: No. Hour 1 + Hour 3 are the most important. Hour 2 and Hour 4 add context but aren't mandatory.
Q: What's the best Fibonacci zone to trade?
A: Golden Zone (GZ) has the highest win rate (70-80%). Grade A+ has the best risk/reward. Grade S+ has the biggest moves but is rarest.
Q: Should I trade during Hour 1 (00:00-01:00)?
A: Generally no. Wait for Hour 1 to complete at 01:00 EST. The range needs to be established first.
Q: What if price never leaves Hour 1 range all day?
A: It's a ranging day. Fade the extremes - sell at Hour 1 high, buy at Hour 1 low, target the midline. Don't force breakout trades.
Q: Can I use this on stocks?
A: Yes, but it works best on indices and forex because they trade 24 hours. Individual stocks don't have a true midnight range.
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: 5-minute for entries and exits. 15-minute for structure and context. 1-minute for active scalping.
Q: How do I know if a midline touch is a good trade?
A: Look for confirmation:
• Rejection wick (long tail)
• Reversal candle pattern (engulfing, pin bar)
• Volume spike
• Confluence with other levels
Q: What's the difference between this and the Liquidations indicator?
A: Liquidations uses leverage-based zones (for crypto). Fedwire + Fibonacci uses institutional time windows + classic Fibonacci math. Liquidations = crypto focus. Fedwire = all markets.
Q: Why are S++/S+++/PRO/EXPERT zones so far away?
A: They're extreme move zones. They only get hit during:
• Major news events
• Market crashes/spikes
• Central bank interventions
• Black swan events
• When they DO get hit, the trades are legendary
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FINAL WORDS - THE TRADING PHILOSOPHY
This indicator is not a crystal ball. It's a framework.
It shows you:
• WHERE institutional levels are (Fibonacci zones)
• WHEN institutions trade (4 NYC hour windows)
• HOW FAR price has moved (grade system)
• WHAT the bias is (first candle, visual modes)
Your job as a trader:
1. Wait for Hour 1 to complete (patience)
2. Identify high-grade setups (A+, S+, Golden Zone)
3. Wait for confirmation (price action, confluence)
4. Execute with discipline (proper stops, targets)
5. Manage the trade through zones (scale out, trail stops)
Remember:
• Golden Zone = Highest win rate
• A+ / S+ zones = Best risk/reward
• Fedwire hour = Biggest institutional moves
• First candle = Daily bias
• Multi-hour alignment = Magnetic levels
Trade smart. Trade with the institutions. Trade the NYC Midnight Fedwire + Fibonacci way.

NYC Midnight Liquidations LITE
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This is an advanced version of the NYC Midnight indicator that adds liquidation zones - strategic price levels where leveraged traders get liquidated (forced out of positions). It combines the Hour 1 range concept with crypto/forex liquidation hunting strategies.

• Black lines for first candle open/close
• Yellow midline (dashed)
• Orange daily separator
• Candle coloring (yellow/green/red/gray)
2. Liquidation Zones (NEW)
Multiple zones stacked above and below the Hour 1 range, each representing where traders using different leverage levels will be liquidated.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIQUIDATION ZONE HIERARCHY
The indicator shows 10 liquidation zones (or 11 in "Thin" mode), ordered from closest to furthest from Hour 1 range:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO TRADE LIQUIDATION ZONES
STRATEGY 1: LIQUIDATION HUNTING (Most Profitable)
When price reaches a liquidation zone, it often:
1. Wicks into the zone (liquidates traders)
2. Reverses sharply (no more sellers/buyers)
3. Returns toward Hour 1 range
LONG SETUP (at lower zones):
1. Wait for price to enter a liquidation zone (S+, S++, or A+)
2. Look for rejection wick or reversal candle
3. Enter on confirmation (bullish engulfing, hammer, etc.)
4. Stop loss: Below the liquidation zone
5. Target: Hour 1 midline OR opposite side of range
SHORT SETUP (at upper zones):
1. Wait for price to enter a liquidation zone
2. Look for rejection at zone midline
3. Enter on bearish confirmation
4. Stop loss: Above the liquidation zone
5. Target: Hour 1 midline OR opposite side
Best zones for this strategy: S+, S++, S+++, A+
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 2: LIQUIDATION CASCADE RIDING
Sometimes price blows through multiple zones (liquidation cascade). Ride the momentum:
Setup:
1. Price breaks through GZ or C+ cleanly
2. Enter in direction of break
3. Hold until S+ or S++ zone
4. Target: Next liquidation zone
5. Stop: Behind previous zone
Warning: This is aggressive. Use tight stops.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 3: CROSS LABEL TRADING
The indicator shows yellow labels when price crosses liquidation zone midlines (if enabled).
How to use:
1. Enable "Show Liq Zone Cross Labels"
2. When you see a label appear (e.g., "S+"), price just crossed that zone
3. Reversal trade: Fade the move back to Hour 1
4. Continuation trade: Wait for retest and continue in that direction
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STRATEGY 4: ZONE STACKING
When multiple liquidation zones align with other technical confluences:
Perfect setup checklist:
✅ Price at S+ or S++ liquidation zone
✅ Previous day high/low nearby
✅ Fibonacci level (0.618, 0.786)
✅ Round number (e.g., 100.00, 2000.00)
✅ Trendline or support/resistance
= MONSTER TRADE SETUP
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS GUIDE
LIQUIDATION ZONE MODE:
"Expanded Liq Zones" (Default)
• Zones spread out more
• S+ at 2.0-2.5%, PRO at 6.67-10%
• Best for: Volatile markets (crypto, indices)
• Use when: Hour 1 range is small (<0.5%)
"Thin Liq Zones"
• Zones closer together
• Adds GURU zone (22x-24x)
• S+ at 1.818-2%, PRO at 3.03-3.333%
• Best for: Forex, stable markets
• Use when: Hour 1 range is large (>1%)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TRADING TIPS
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Position size: Risk 1-2% per trade
• Stop placement: Just beyond the liquidation zone (10-20 pips)
• Profit targets: 2-3x your risk minimum
BEST TIMES TO TRADE
1. 2:00-5:00 EST (London session) - Highest volatility
2. 8:00-11:00 EST (NY/London overlap)
3. 20:00-00:00 EST (Asian session for crypto)
MARKET-SPECIFIC TIPS
Crypto (BTC, ETH):
• Use "Expanded Liq Zones"
• Focus on S+, S++, S+++ zones
• Liquidation cascades are common
• Best on 5-15 minute charts
Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD):
• Use "Thin Liq Zones"
• A+ and B+ zones work best
• More mean-reverting behavior
• Best on 5-minute charts
Indices (ES, NQ, SPY):
• Either mode works
• Respect PRO zone during news
• More reliable liquidation hunts
• Best on 1-5 minute charts
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
READING THE CHART
Yellow Labels at Top/Bottom
• Appear when price crosses a zone midline
• Quick visual confirmation of liquidation levels being hit
• Use for entry timing
Dashed Midlines
• These are your precise entry levels
• Price often reacts strongest at midlines
• Watch for rejection candles here
Shaded Background
• Yellow shading after 01:00 EST = still inside Hour 1 range

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
COMMON TRADE SCENARIOS
SCENARIO 1: Clean Liquidation Hunt
1. Price breaks Hour 1 high at 3:00 EST
2. Reaches S+ zone, shows rejection wick
3. Trade: Short back to Hour 1 midline
4. R:R: 1:3 (25 pips risk, 75 pip target)
SCENARIO 2: Cascade to PRO
1. Major news event at 8:30 EST
2. Price blasts through all zones to PRO
3. Trade: Enter continuation at S++ retest
4. Target: PRO zone
SCENARIO 3: Double Liquidation
1. Price hits S+ up, reverses
2. Then hits S+ down, reverses
3. Trade: Fade the extremes, play the range
4. Best on: Low volatility days
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
PRO TIPS
✅ The S zones (S+, S++, S+++) are the sweet spot - Most reliable reversals
✅ Combine with Hour 1 midline - When liquidation zone aligns with midline = strong level
✅ Watch volume - High volume at liquidation zones = stronger reversal
✅ Use alerts - Set price alerts at key liquidation zones
✅ Don't overtrade GZ and C+ - Too close to range, too choppy
✅ PRO zone = respect it - If price reaches PRO, it's a strong move (10%+ from Hour 1)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT NOT TO DO
❌ Don't enter blindly when price hits a zone - wait for confirmation
❌ Don't hold through multiple zones without trailing stops
❌ Don't ignore the Hour 1 range - it's still the foundation
❌ Don't trade liquidation zones in low liquidity (Sunday nights, holidays)
❌ Don't use the same position size for all zones - further zones = larger moves

BOTTOM LINE
This indicator is a liquidation hunting machine . It shows you exactly where over-leveraged traders will be forced out of their positions, creating explosive reversal opportunities. The S+/S++/S+++ zones are where the magic happens. Master these zones, and you'll never look at price action the same way again.
Remember: Liquidations create volatility and opportunity , but they also create risk . Always use stops and proper position sizing!

Strategy #3 Stacking Signals [Rider Algo]Strategy #3 — Stacking Signals — Description (TradingView)
Overview
Strategy #3 is a confirmation/stacking indicator that highlights moments when multiple bullish or bearish signals cluster within a short period.
It is designed to help you spot higher-conviction setups by requiring signal confluence instead of reacting to a single trigger.
What it Detects
The indicator monitors three signal sources and checks if 3 or more signals of the same direction occurred within a rolling window (default 10 bars ):
Bullish cluster sources
Attention/Warning bullish condition
Bullish SS condition
Bullish SS condition
Bearish cluster sources
Attention/Warning bearish condition
Bearish SS condition
Bearish SS condition
When the minimum count is reached inside the selected window, it prints a label:
“Strat. #3” (Bullish) below the candle
“Strat. #3” (Bearish) above the candle
To avoid noise, it triggers only once per cluster event (it will not print on every bar while the condition remains true).
Inputs (Settings)
Show Strategy #3 Indicator : Enables/disables Strategy #3 signals.
Cluster window (bars) : Number of bars used for the rolling count (default 10 ).
Min signals in window : Minimum signals required to trigger (default 3 ).
Solo Cluster (hide others) : Hides other visual elements and leaves only Strategy #3 on the chart (Strategy #3 remains fully functional).
Alerts
Two alert conditions are included:
Strategy #3 – Bullish Cluster
Strategy #3 – Bearish Cluster
Use them to receive notifications the moment a new cluster event is detected.
How to Use
Bullish “Strat. #3” suggests stacked bullish confirmations in a short time window ( potential continuation or reversal depending on context ).
Bearish “Strat. #3” suggests stacked bearish confirmations in a short time window.
For best results, combine with market structure , key levels , and a defined risk plan .
Practical Use (How I would use Strategy #3)
I use Strategy #3 to identify potential reversal waves after an extended trend, but not as a standalone signal .
Its strength is highlighting short-term counter-moves driven by stacked confirmations.
1) Reversal timing after a long trend
When an asset has been trending for a long time, a “Strat. #3” print can suggest exhaustion + a probable opposing impulse (a reversal wave).
This does not guarantee a full trend change—only an increased probability of a meaningful move in the opposite direction.
2) Confluence with higher timeframes
Before acting, I confirm alignment with:
Higher timeframe structure (HTF support/resistance, HTF trend condition)
Whether the market is extended from key HTF areas
If HTF conditions support the idea, Strategy #3 becomes significantly more actionable.
3) Confirmation with the leading asset / market context
For altcoins, I confirm with the leading asset (e.g., Bitcoin ):
If ADA prints Strategy #3 bullish, I check whether BTC is holding support or stabilizing.
If BTC is defending a key level and Strategy #3 prints on the alt, the probability improves.
4) Profit-taking tool (partial exits)
I also use Strategy #3 for partial profit-taking when I am holding an asset:
After a strong move, a Strategy #3 signal can indicate a counter-wave is likely.
I take partial profits , not a full exit, because the indicator is designed to anticipate a push against the current move, not a confirmed macro trend reversal.
5) Confirming a true trend change (use other tools)
To evaluate whether the reversal wave becomes a real trend shift, I rely on additional confirmation tools—e.g., Moving Average Master (Rider Algo #2) —instead of expecting Strategy #3 to predict an absolute trend reversal on its own.
