Candlestick analysis
Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator.
It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time.
With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest.
This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact.
Core Features
📊 Market Structure Detection:
Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time.
💧 Liquidity Mapping:
Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation.
🧱 Order Block Visualization:
Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone.
⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner:
Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.

DRACO Tomas Delta (Custom/Monthly)🐉 DRACO Delta SessionBox (Custom / Monthly)
Overview
The DRACO Delta SessionBox is an advanced visual and analytical tool designed to measure and display cumulative buying and selling pressure (Δ — delta) within a user-defined time window, such as a specific custom date range, a recurring monthly period, or the entire current month.
It visually represents market accumulation or distribution phases by calculating an approximate delta — the imbalance between bullish and bearish volume — and then aggregates it inside a dynamic “box” that spans only the selected time window.
Core Concept
Delta in this context is an approximation of the real order-flow delta (buy vs sell volume difference).
Since TradingView doesn’t provide raw tick-by-tick trade direction data, this indicator uses a proxy formula based on OHLC and volume data:
Δ per bar
=
Volume
×
(
Close
−
Open
)
max
(
High
−
Low
,
Tick Size
)
Δ per bar=Volume×
max(High−Low,Tick Size)
(Close−Open)
This gives a very effective approximation of intrabar directional pressure — whether volume was dominated by buyers (Δ > 0) or sellers (Δ < 0).
Modes
The indicator can operate in three distinct modes:
🕒 Custom DateTime
The user manually sets an exact date & time range (From – To).
The box only measures delta and volume accumulation within this window.
Ideal for analyzing specific events, like FOMC weeks, quarterly earnings, or macro periods.
📆 Monthly Window
The user selects start and end days of the month (e.g. 5–20).
The same window repeats automatically every month.
Useful for identifying recurring accumulation or distribution cycles within months.
🧭 Whole Month
Automatically measures and visualizes delta for the entire current calendar month.
The box resets when a new month begins.
Provides a macro-level view of monthly directional bias.
Trading Session Analyzer - Best Trading Hours📊 OVERALL DESIGN & PURPOSE

Trend Entry_0 [TS_Indie]Trend Entry_0 — Mechanism Overview
The core structure of this strategy is based on a price action reversal pattern, as detailed below:
In the case of a Bullish Trend Reversal:
The price initially moves in a bearish direction. When candle A forms a low lower than the previous low, the high of candle A becomes a key reference point.
If the next candle closes above the high of candle A , it confirms a Bullish Trend Reversal.
* Upon a Bullish signal, a Long position is opened at the opening price of the next candle (candle B).
* When a subsequent Bearish signal occurs, the Long position is closed at the opening price of the next candle (candle C).
In the case of a Bearish Trend Reversal:
The price initially moves in a bullish direction. When candle A forms a high higher than the previous high, the low of candle A becomes a key reference point.
If the next candle closes below the low of candle A , it confirms a Bearish Trend Reversal.
* Upon a Bearish signal, a Short position is opened at the opening price of the next candle (candle B).
* When a subsequent Bullish signal occurs, the Short position is closed at the opening price of the next candle (candle C).
Options
* The start and end dates of the backtest can be customized.
* The swing lines of the trend can be displayed as an optional visual aid.
* The user can choose whether to open only Long or Short positions.
Backtest Results and Observations
Based on the backtesting results of this strategy across various assets and timeframes, it has been observed that this approach works best on trending assets such as Gold, BTC, and stocks.
It also performs well on higher timeframes, starting from the Daily timeframe and above, especially when taking Long positions only.
However, when applied to currency pairs such as EUR/USD, the results tend to be less impressive.
I encourage everyone to try backtesting and further developing this strategy — adding new conditions or filters may potentially lead to improved performance.

FVG + CoSD Confirmation Strategy (6:1 RR, 2% Equity Risk)This strategy combines two powerful displacement signals — Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Change of State of Delivery (CoSD) — to capture high-conviction directional moves. It sets a directional bias when either signal appears, but only enters a trade once both FVG and CoSD confirm in the same direction. This dual-filter approach helps reduce noise and improve entry precision.
Key features:
✅ Bias lock on first signal: Directional bias is set by either FVG or CoSD, but trades only trigger when both align.
✅ 6:1 reward-to-risk targeting: Take profit is set at sixtimes the stop distance, allowing for high-RR setups.
✅ Fixed stop buffer: SL is calculated using a static tick buffer for simplicity and consistency.
✅ Exit on opposing signal: Trades are closed when an opposite FVG or CoSD appears, signaling structural reversal.
📈 Optimized for EURUSD on the 4-hour timeframe, where its structural logic and risk parameters are best aligned with market rhythm and volatility.
This strategy is ideal for traders who want to combine price imbalance with structural confirmation, while maintaining disciplined risk management and directional clarity.
FVG + CoSD Confirmation Strategy (4:1 RR)This strategy combines two powerful displacement signals — Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Change of State of Delivery (CoSD) — to capture high-conviction directional moves. It sets a directional bias when either signal appears but only enters a trade once both FVG and CoSD confirm in the same direction. This dual-filter approach helps reduce noise and improve entry precision.
Key features:
✅ Bias lock on first signal: Directional bias is set by either FVG or CoSD, but trades only trigger when both align.
✅ 4:1 reward-to-risk targeting: Take profit is set at four times the stop distance, allowing for high-RR setups.
✅ Fixed stop buffer: SL is calculated using a static tick buffer for simplicity and consistency.
✅ Exit on opposing signal: Trades are closed when an opposite FVG or CoSD appears, signaling structural reversal.
📈 Optimized for EURUSD on the 4-hour timeframe, where its structural logic and risk parameters are best aligned with market rhythm and volatility.
This strategy is ideal for traders who want to combine price imbalance with structural confirmation, while maintaining disciplined risk management and directional clarity.
First FVG Directional Strategy (2:1 RR)This strategy captures directional momentum by trading the first confirmed Fair Value Gap (FVG) and holding that bias until an opposing FVG appears. It’s designed to align with ICT-style displacement logic, entering only when a clear imbalance is confirmed and exiting when the market structure shifts.
Key features:
✅ Directional bias lock: Trades only in the direction of the first FVG. No re-entries until reversal.
✅ FVG confirmation: Requires directional candle confirmation for valid gaps.
✅ 2:1 reward-to-risk targeting: Take profit is set at twice the distance of the stop loss.
✅ Clean, structure-driven logic: No indicators or overlays — just price action and delivery.
📈 Optimized for EURUSD on the 4-hour chart, where its structural logic and risk parameters are best aligned.
This strategy is ideal for traders seeking clarity, discipline, and directional conviction based on price imbalance and displacement.
First CoSD Directional Strategy (4:1 RR)This strategy is optimized for the four hour EURUSD. It captures directional momentum by trading the first confirmed Change of State of Delivery (CoSD) — a structural break above the most recent swing high (bullish) or below the most recent swing low (bearish). Once a CoSD is detected, the strategy enters in that direction and holds the position until an opposing CoSD occurs.
Key features:
✅ Directional bias lock: Only one trade per directional shift. No re-entries until reversal.
✅ Swing-based stop loss: SL is anchored to the most recent structural level — swing low for longs, swing high for shorts.
✅ 4:1 reward-to-risk targeting: TP is calculated as four times the distance between entry and SL.
✅ Clean displacement logic: No indicators, no noise — just price structure and delivery.
This strategy is ideal for traders who want to align with market structure and displacement without overtrading. It’s built for clarity, discipline, and directional conviction.
First CoSD Directional StrategyThis strategy is optimized for EURUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
This strategy captures directional momentum by trading the first confirmed Change of State of Delivery (CoSD) — a structural break above the most recent swing high (bullish) or below the most recent swing low (bearish). Once a CoSD is detected, the strategy enters in that direction and holds the position until an opposing CoSD occurs.
Key features:
✅ Directional bias lock: Only one trade per directional shift. No re-entries until reversal.
✅ Swing-based stop loss: SL is anchored to the most recent structural level — swing low for longs, swing high for shorts.
✅ 2:1 reward-to-risk targeting: TP is calculated as twice the distance between entry and SL.
