HTF 3-Candle System (Zeiierman)█ Overview
HTF 3-Candle System (Zeiierman) is a higher-timeframe market structure indicator designed to analyze the relationship between three consecutive HTF candles and identify the price pattern that currently best describes the developing structure.
Instead of looking for a single fixed candlestick formation, the indicator evaluates multiple bullish and bearish three-candle structures simultaneously. Each pattern receives a dynamic quality score based on factors such as candle direction, range, body strength, liquidity sweeps, displacement, imbalance, compression, expansion, and the developing behavior of the live third candle.
The three higher-timeframe candles are defined as:
• C1 = the completed HTF candle two periods back
• C2 = the previous completed HTF candle
• C3 = the current live HTF candle
C3 updates continuously while the higher-timeframe candle is forming, allowing the pattern ranking and projected levels to evolve with current price action.
The System evaluates 12 three-candle structures:
• Bullish Sweep Reversal
• Bearish Sweep Reversal
• Bullish FVG Displacement
• Bearish FVG Displacement
• Bullish PO3 Sequence
• Bearish PO3 Sequence
• Bullish Expansion
• Bearish Expansion
• Bullish Compression Break
• Bearish Compression Break
• Morning Star Reversal
• Evening Star Reversal
The three highest-ranked structures are displayed in the 3-CANDLE SYSTEM table together with their current scores. The highest-ranked pattern also controls the live state message and the projected structural levels.
█ How It Works
⚪ 3-Candle HTF Structure
The indicator analyzes three candles from the selected higher timeframe:
• C1 = two HTF candles back
• C2 = previous HTF candle
• C3 = current live HTF candle
C1 = HTF
C2 = HTF
C3 = current HTF
C1 and C2 are completed candles, while C3 updates live until the current higher-timeframe candle closes.
⚪ Pattern Quality Scoring
The System evaluates 12 bullish and bearish three-candle structures and assigns each one a quality score.
The score combines structural conditions with softer proximity measurements, so a setup can begin ranking before every condition is fully completed.
Factors include liquidity sweeps, candle direction, body strength, range, displacement, FVGs, compression, expansion, and recovery or rejection around key levels.
score = structure + proximity + candle strength
⚪ Top 3 Pattern Ranking
All pattern scores are ranked from highest to lowest.
The strongest structure becomes the active pattern, while the second and third highest scores remain visible for additional context.
patterns.sort(order.descending, sort_field="qualityScore")
⚪ Live Pattern State
The top-ranked structure also shows its current stage, such as:
• sweep or reclaim developing
• FVG live
• breakout or breakdown developing
• compression
• PO3 distribution
• reversal developing
⚪ Projected Pattern Levels
The active pattern projects the levels most relevant to that structure, including sweep levels, breakout levels, FVG boundaries, CE 50%, equilibrium, recovery levels, and invalidation.
Nearby levels can automatically merge to reduce visual clutter.
⚪ Projected HTF Candles
C1, C2 and C3 are reconstructed to the right of price using their actual higher-timeframe OHLC values. C3 updates live as the current HTF candle develops.
⚪ HTF Mapping
The System can map C1, C2 and C3 directly over the lower-timeframe candles that formed them.
High and low dots identify the exact lower-timeframe candles that created each HTF extreme. Completed C1 and C2 levels can also change from Active to Mitigated after being traded through.
█ How to Use
The examples below show how the System behaves across different three-candle structures. The table identifies the highest-ranked pattern, while the bottom row shows the pattern's current live state.
⚪ Bearish Expansion
Here, Bearish Expansion is the highest-ranked pattern at 85.0%, and the state reads BEARISH EXPANSION LIVE.
C1, C2, and C3 progressively shift lower, with C3 extending strongly through the previous structure. The projected levels identify the Breakdown, the level price should Hold Below, and the Invalidation level above.
⚪ Bearish FVG Displacement
In this example, Bearish FVG Displacement reaches a 100.0% score and the state reads BEARISH FVG LIVE.
The strong downside movement leaves C3 separated below C1, creating the bearish imbalance. The System projects the FVG Upper, CE 50%, C3 High, and Invalidation levels around the active structure.
⚪ Bearish FVG With Merged Levels
This is another Bearish FVG Displacement, ranked at 98.1%.
Here, the FVG Upper and CE 50% are close enough to be merged into a single projected level. This demonstrates how the System combines nearby structural references when they overlap.
⚪ Bullish FVG Displacement
This example shows a Bullish FVG Displacement with a 100.0% score and BULLISH FVG LIVE state.
Strong upside displacement leaves the C3 low above the earlier C1 structure. The projected FVG Lower, CE 50%, C3 Low, and Invalidation levels define the active bullish imbalance.
⚪ Bearish Compression Setup
Here, Bearish Compression Break ranks first at 91.2%, but the state still reads COMPRESSION - WATCH RANGE LOW.
This is important because the bearish break has not yet confirmed. C2 is contained within the C1 range and C3 is pressing toward the lower boundary. The Range Low / Breakdown level shows where bearish confirmation would occur, while Equilibrium and Range High define the rest of the compression structure.
⚪ Bullish Power of 3
In this example, Bullish PO3 Sequence ranks first at 85.0%, with the state PO3 DISTRIBUTION LIVE.
The sequence shows a downside manipulation followed by a strong bullish C3 expansion. The System highlights the Manipulation Low, the Distribution level above, and the structural Invalidation level.
⚪ Bearish Sweep Reversal
Here, Bearish Sweep Reversal is ranked first, but the state reads HIGH SWEPT - NEED RECLAIM.
Price has already swept above the C1 high, but the reversal is not yet fully confirmed. The next requirement is for C3 to move back below the projected C3 Close < level. The swept high and invalidation have merged into one structural level.
⚪ Bullish Sweep Reversal
This example shows Bullish Sweep Reversal ranked first at 82.0%, but the state is still WATCHING C1 LOW.
This is an earlier-stage setup. The System is identifying the bullish sweep structure as the best current match, but the C1 low has not yet been swept. The projected Sweep Low + Invalidation level shows the liquidity area being watched, while C3 Close > marks the bullish confirmation level.
⚪ Evening Star Reversal
Here, Evening Star Reversal ranks first at 80.6%, with the state AWAITING REJECTION BELOW C1 MID.
The reversal structure is developing, but C3 has not yet moved far enough below the C1 midpoint to confirm stronger rejection. The projected levels show 50% Rejection, Full Rejection, and Invalidation.
⚪ Bullish Compression Setup
In the final example, Bullish Compression Break ranks first at 84.3%, while the live state reads COMPRESSION - WATCH RANGE HIGH.
C2 remains compressed inside the C1 structure and C3 is moving toward the upper boundary. The bullish breakout is not confirmed until price pushes through the projected Range High / Breakout level. Equilibrium and Range Low provide the remaining structural references.
█ Settings
Higher Timeframe: Selects the higher timeframe used to construct C1, C2 and live C3. The selected timeframe must be higher than the chart timeframe.
Strong Match Threshold: Sets the minimum quality score required for the highest-ranked pattern to be treated as a strong match.
Show Projected HTF Candles: Shows or hides the reconstructed C1, C2 and C3 candles to the right of current price.
Offset: Controls how far the projected candle structure appears from current price.
Candle Spacing: Controls the horizontal spacing between projected C1, C2 and C3.
Merge: Controls how close two projected levels can be before they are combined.
Spacing: Controls horizontal spacing between pattern level labels.

HTF Power of 3 (PO3) with Trailing Stop🔵 OVERVIEW
The HTF Power of 3 (PO3) with Trailing Stop is a technical indicator created by BigBeluga to capture institutional market cycles based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC). Detecting market manipulation phases and structural accumulation zones has always been a major challenge in technical analysis, as traditional breakouts often lead to false signals and whipsaw trades. In order to provide a solution to this problem, this indicator maps higher timeframe (HTF) Power of 3 cycles—breaking price action down into Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution phases—combined with an advanced volatility-based trailing stop engine.
The indicator aims to visualize institutional order-building and subsequent expansions. The core element of its calculation involves tracking HTF session levels alongside a dynamic ATR-based trailing threshold defined as:
trailingStop = close ± currentAtr * trailMultiplier
where currentAtr is the standard Average True Range of period atrPeriod , and trailMultiplier is the sensitivity footprint multiplier. Higher values of accumMultiplier and trailMultiplier allow the indicator to adjust to longer consolidation periods and filter out minor market noise.
🔵 FEATURES
The system utilizes a multi-layered matrix structure to provide actionable market intelligence:
1 — Auto HTF Matrix Mode & Session Engine
Dynamic Timeframe Scaling: When enabled, the indicator automatically scales the higher timeframe matrix dynamically based on your current chart timeframe context.
Session Tracking: Continuously calculates local open, high, low, and close parameters across higher timeframe layers to project real-time structural candles on the right side of your chart.
2 — Power of 3 (PO3) Phase Breakdown & Peak Labels
Accumulation Phase: Maps the initial consolidation boundary lines over a defined accumMultiplier bar count, outlining the high and low thresholds where institutional orders cluster.
Manipulation Phase & Peak Labels: Triggers automatically when price breaks out of the accumulation boundaries, identifying fakeouts and plotting a peak manipulation label marked with an M at the extreme high or low.
Distribution Phase & Peak Labels: Transitions into the expansion phase once the trailing stop is breached, tracking the final leg of the institutional delivery cycle and plotting a peak distribution label marked with a D .
3 — Dynamic Trailing Stop & Cloud Fill
Volatility Boundaries: Employs a robust ATR trailing line that shifts dynamically to lock in profits and signal shifts in market bias.
Visual Cloud Fills: Dynamically colors and fills the space between price action and the trailing stop line to offer clear visual confirmation of trend direction.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Apart from the basic visualization of institutional market cycles, this tool can also act in alternative ways to support decision-making:
Identify Accumulation Zones: Monitor the orange accumulation channel during the early stages of an HTF session to spot tight consolidation ranges before an expansion.
Trade the Manipulation Breakout: Wait for price to sweep outside the accumulation boundaries to trigger a "Manipulation" label and an M peak marker, signaling an institutional run on liquidity before the true directional move.
Manage Risk with Trailing Stops: Use the dynamic trailing stop line, cloud fill, and subsequent D distribution peak markers as a trailing stop loss mechanism to guide entries, manage open positions, and catch the final distribution leg.
🔵 NOTES
Why this implementation is unique:
It automates complex multi-timeframe ICT concepts directly onto lower timeframe charts without requiring manual chart reconfiguration.
The right-aligned visual projection engine gives traders a clear look at the developing higher timeframe candle and session metrics without cluttering active price history.
The script is fully optimized for Pine Script version 6, integrating seamless label sizing and automated line management for maximum rendering performance.

Goldbach + PO3 Grid [GBB]Goldbach + PO3 Grid
An open-source visualization of two ICT concepts — the Goldbach dealing-range grid and the daily Power of 3 (PO3) cycle — combined with a transparent confluence signal layer. The Pine source is published as a "Free open-source script" so you can read every line, fork it, audit the math, and confirm the signals are computed exactly as documented.
This is a tool, not a strategy. Use it to make ICT structure visible on your chart at any timeframe, and to flag the moments when a Goldbach level tap aligns with a resolved PO3 bias.
What it draws
Goldbach grid (canonical zone-based implementation).Once an IPDA (Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm — ICT terminology for the n-bar high/low window used as the dealing-range basis) range is established, the script overlays 14 prime-partition lines plus equilibrium and speed-bump references on it. The lines sit at the canonical Goldbach percentages — pairs of primes that sum to 100, per Goldbach's conjecture: 3+97, 11+89, 17+83, 29+71, 41+59, 47+53, plus the trivial 0/100 boundary.
Per ICT teaching, roles are zones between adjacent prime-partition lines, not the lines themselves. The teaching documents the rule explicitly: "To map the levels to an ICT concept, like rejection block, order block, we take the value of the level just below it until the current value." Each zone has a trigger line at its equilibrium-facing edge:
RB (Rejection Block) — zone 0-3 / 97-100, triggers at 3 / 97
OB (Order Block) — zone 3-11 / 89-97, triggers at 11 / 89
FVG (Fair Value Gap) — zone 11-17 / 83-89, triggers at 17 / 83
LV (Liquidity Void) — zone 29-41 / 59-71, triggers at 41 / 59
BRK (Breaker) — zone 41-47 / 53-59, triggers at 47 / 53
EQ (Equilibrium) at 50 — boundary between premium and discount, derived as midpoint between MB pair
EXT — range extremes at 0 / 100
The 17-29 / 71-83 region between FVG and LV has no canonical role name in ICT teaching; the script draws the 29 / 71 lines as neutral boundary markers. Within the LV zone, the script also draws non-prime "speed bump" lines at 35 and 65 — taught by ICT as partial-profit reference points, not as entry triggers. They are visual references only and do not generate signals.
Premium territory (above EQ) is tinted; discount territory (below EQ) is tinted in the inverse color. The grid updates automatically when the underlying IPDA range shifts.
Three range sources are available:
PDA Lookback (default) — highest high and lowest low of the past 60 HTF bars. Computed natively in the chart's timeframe when the lookback fits Pine's max_bars_back budget (1H and above with daily HTF). Falls back to `request.security` on the HTF directly when the native lookback would exceed the budget (e.g., 15m with daily HTF needs 5,760 native bars; the fallback uses 60 daily bars instead). The status table shows which path is active.
HTF Swing — most recent confirmed pivot high and pivot low on a higher timeframe.
Manual— user-set price bounds.
Power of 3 module
The script anchors a daily PO3 cycle at NY midnight, then tracks three phases — Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution — based on a Judas swing detection (false move beyond a recent extreme) followed by displacement (FVG-confirmed move in the opposite direction). Phase state, Judas direction, and resolved PO3 bias are shown in the on-chart status table. Historical Judas/Distribution markers are rendered for past periods so you can see how the cycle resolved historically.
Signal layer (optional)
When a Goldbach trigger line is tapped and the current PO3 bias agrees with the trade direction implied by that tap (e.g., bearish PO3 + premium tap → short setup), a signal fires. Three presets control which roles qualify:
Strict — OB and FVG triggers only (lines 11 / 17 / 83 / 89). Requires bias resolved + dispMult ≥ 1.5× ATR + HTF bias agreement.
Standard — adds LV and BRK triggers (lines 41 / 47 / 53 / 59). Requires bias resolved. HTF bias filter optional. This is what the backtest below was run on.
Loose — adds RB and MB/EQ triggers (lines 3 / 50 / 97). Requires Manipulation or Distribution phase active. Speed bumps and boundary lines (35/65, 29/71) never trigger.
Signals appear as triangles, a one-line label noting the role and PO3 bias, and a translucent vertical highlight on the firing bar. A 9-condition alert suite covers each signal type for automation.
Settings walkthrough
The settings panel is grouped into modules. Defaults are tuned to match ICT-canonical conventions where they exist; everything else is what we used during backtesting. None of the values below were tuned against our test data, so they're starting points rather than optimized parameters.
Three choices for how the dealing range is determined:
IPDA Lookback (default) — highest high and lowest low over the configured lookback window. Reproducible regardless of how much chart history is loaded. This is what the backtesting was done on.
HTF Swing — uses the most recent confirmed pivot high and pivot low on a higher timeframe. Reactive to recent structure rather than a fixed window. Useful if you trade off explicit swing structure rather than a rolling N-day range.
Manual — you set the high and low yourself. Use when you've already mapped a dealing range and just want the Goldbach grid drawn on it.
HTF Timeframe . The reference timeframe for both IPDA Lookback and HTF Swing. Default `D` (daily). Pick a timeframe higher than your chart timeframe — the indicator does not warn you if you set HTF below chart, but the result is meaningless. For 15m/1H charts, daily is appropriate. For 4H/D charts, weekly may make more sense.
HTF Pivot Length . Used only by HTF Swing. Number of bars left and right needed to confirm a swing pivot on the HTF timeframe. Default 5. Lower values produce more reactive swings but more false swings; higher values produce more stable swings but lag.
IPDA Lookback (bars) . Used only by IPDA Lookback. Number of HTF bars to scan for the highest high and lowest low. ICT canonically teaches three values: 20, 40, and 60. We used 60 for backtesting (60 daily bars ≈ 60 days of price action regardless of chart timeframe). Lower the value for a tighter, more reactive range; raise it for a more stable range that updates less often.
Manual: Range High / Range Low . Used only when Range Source is `Manual`. Numeric prices for the range bounds. Default 0.0 (placeholder); set to your desired values when using the Manual source.
Goldbach Grid
Show Grid / Show Labels / Show Tints. Independently togglable. Show Grid draws the 17 horizontal lines (14 prime-partition lines, EQ at 50, plus speed bumps at 35/65). Show Labels adds the role text (OB_HIGH, FVG_LOW, LV_HIGH, BRK_LOW, RB_HIGH, etc.) at the right edge. Show Tints fills the premium half (above EQ) and discount half (below EQ) with colored overlay boxes.
Invert on Bear. When on, the role labels flip vertically when the underlying range formed bearishly (low after high rather than high after low). The math doesn't change; only the labels swap. Most traders leave this on.
PO3
Enable PO3. Master toggle for the entire daily cycle module. When off, the Goldbach grid still draws but no PO3 detection or signaling happens.
Anchor. When the daily cycle "starts." ICT canon is `Daily NY Midnight` — 00:00 New York time. The other option is `Session: Custom`, which lets you set an arbitrary anchor time for non-equity sessions or alternative trading regimes. For 24/7 crypto, the default works.
Custom Anchor Time. Used only when Anchor is set to `Session: Custom`. HH:MM format in chart timezone.
Accumulation Threshold (× ATR). During the early hours of the daily period, price is considered "still accumulating" if it stays within this multiple of ATR from the open. Default 0.5. Raise it for more permissive accumulation (longer manipulation phase delay); lower it for stricter accumulation.
Displacement Multiplier (× ATR). Required size of the displacement candle that confirms a transition into Distribution phase. Default 1.0. Higher values require more decisive moves to confirm bias; lower values accept smaller candles as confirmation. Strict preset overrides this with 1.5.
Require FVG Confirmation. When on, the displacement step also requires a fair value gap of the correct polarity within the last 3 bars before bias is resolved. Default on. This is a meaningful filter — turning it off roughly doubles signal frequency but reduces signal quality.
Max Historical Periods. Cap on how many past PO3 periods retain their visual markers (J↑/J↓ Judas labels and D Distribution labels) on the chart. Default 50. Lower for cleaner charts; higher to see further back. Old markers are deleted as new ones close.
Signal Layer
Preset. Three confluence configurations:
trict — only OB and FVG triggers qualify (lines at 11/17/83/89). Requires resolved PO3 bias, displacement ≥ 1.5× ATR, and HTF bias agreement. Highest signal-to-noise ratio, lowest signal frequency.
Standard (default) — adds LV and BRK triggers (lines at 41/47/53/59). Requires resolved PO3 bias. HTF bias filter is optional. This is what the backtesting was done on.
Loose — adds RB and MB/EQ triggers (lines at 3/50/97). Requires Manipulation or Distribution phase active. Speed bump levels (35/65) and boundary lines (29/71) are excluded from all presets — they are visual references only.
The presets aren't magic — they're three reasonable points on a precision/recall curve. Strict misses many real setups; Loose generates many false ones. I used Standard as the middle ground.
Require HTF Bias Filter. When on, signals only fire if the higher-timeframe trend (measured by HTF SMA slope) agrees with the signal direction. Always on for Strict, always off for Loose, optional for Standard. Useful in trending markets to avoid counter-trend signals; restrictive in choppy markets.
Signal Cooldown (bars) . Minimum bars between consecutive signals. Default 10. Prevents rapid-fire repeat signals against the same level when price oscillates around it.
Show Signal Labels . When on, every signal gets a verbose one-line label noting the role tapped, the PO3 bias, and the active preset (e.g., "OB_HIGH 89% • Bear • Standard"). When off, only the triangle marker appears.
Highlight Signal Bar. Translucent vertical strip behind the firing bar. Makes signals identifiable at any zoom level. Default on.
Style & Display
Show Period Boxes. Renders historical PO3 period markers (Judas direction labels, distribution markers, period borders). Useful for studying past cycle resolutions.
Show True Open Line. Draws a horizontal line at the daily open price, extended through the day. Reference for premium/discount intraday.
Status Table Position . Where the on-chart status table sits. Default top-right. The table shows current range, EQ price, position percentage, current PO3 phase, and most recent signal — keep it visible.
Status Table Text Size. Self-explanatory. Smaller is less obtrusive but harder to read on high-DPI displays.
Colors. All colors (premium tint, discount tint, level role colors, period borders, signal markers) are configurable per-element. The defaults are designed for dark charts; on light charts you'll likely want to adjust the tints to lower opacity.
Alerts
The script defines 9 named alertconditions, each subscribable separately in TradingView's alert dialog:
Goldbach: EQ tap — price tapped equilibrium (the 50% line)
Goldbach: Premium tap — any tap in the premium half
Goldbach: Discount tap — any tap in the discount half
Goldbach: Sweep — tap of the 0% or 100% extreme
PO3: Manipulation phase entered
PO3: Distribution confirmed bullish
PO3: Distribution confirmed bearish
Signal: Long
Signal: Short
In the alert creation dialog, select this indicator, then pick the specific condition you want. All alerts include `{{ticker}}` and `{{interval}}` placeholders so the message identifies the chart. You can run multiple alerts on the same chart simultaneously (e.g., one for Long signals and one for Distribution-confirmed-bearish).
Notes for first-time use
After adding the indicator to your chart, scroll back to load enough history for the IPDA Lookback computation to populate (typically a few seconds on a fully-loaded chart). The grid will appear once range data is available. The status table on the right shows current range bounds, EQ price, position percentage, current PO3 phase, and most recent signal — use this as a quick health check that the indicator is reading the chart correctly.
If grid lines or labels appear misaligned with price candles, the indicator may be pinned to a separate price scale. The script declares `linktoseries=true` to prevent this, but if you encounter it: right-click the indicator name → Pin to Scale → match the scale your price chart uses.

ICT Power Of Three | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Power Of Three Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Power Of Three" strategy. This strategy makes use of these 3 key smart money concepts : Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution. Each step is explained in detail within this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Power Of Three Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Power Of Three Strategy
Different Algorithm Modes
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The "Power Of Three" comes from these three keywords "Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution". Here is a brief explanation of each keyword :
Accumulation -> Accumulation phase is when the smart money accumulate their positions in a fixed range. This phase indicates price stability, generally meaning that the price constantly switches between up & down trend between a low and a high pivot point. When the indicator detects an accumulation zone, the Power Of Three strategy begins.
Manipulation -> When the smart money needs to increase their position sizes, they need retail traders' positions for liquidity. So, they manipulate the market into the opposite direction of their intended direction. This will result in retail traders opening positions the way that the smart money intended them to do, creating liquidity. After this step, the real move that the smart money intended begins.
Distribution -> This is when the real intention of the smart money comes into action. With the new liquidity thanks to the manipulation phase, the smart money add their positions towards the opposite direction of the retail mindset. The purpose of this indicator is to detect the accumulation and manipulation phases, and help the trader move towards the same direction as the smart money for their trades.
Detection Methods Of The Indicator :
Accumulation -> The indicator detects accumulation zones as explained step-by-step :
1. Draw two lines from the lowest point and the highest point of the latest X bars.
2. If the (high line - low line) is lower than Average True Range (ATR) * accumulationConstant
3. After the condition is validated, an accumulation zone is detected. The accumulation zone will be invalidated and manipulation phase will begin when the range is broken.
Manipulation -> If the accumulation range is broken, check if the current bar closes / wicks above the (high line + ATR * manipulationConstant) or below the (low line - ATR * manipulationConstant). If the condition is met, the indicator detects a manipulation zone.
Distribution -> The purpose of this indicator is to try to foresee the distribution zone, so instead of a detection, after the manipulation zone is detected the indicator automatically create a "shadow" distribution zone towards the opposite direction of the freshly detected manipulation zone. This shadow distribution zone comes with a take-profit and stop-loss layout, customizable by the trader in the settings.
The X bars, accumulationConstant and manipulationConstant are subject to change with the "Algorithm Mode" setting. Read the "Settings" section for more information.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suite for the ICT's Power Of Three concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Algorithm Mode -> The indicator offers 3 different detection algorithm modes according to your needs. Here is the explanation of each mode.
a) Small Manipulation
This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a lower manipulation constant, meaning that slighter imbalances in the price action can be detected as manipulation. This setting can be useful on tickers that have lower liquidity, thus can be manipulated easier.
b) Big Manipulation
This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a higher manipulation constant, meaning that heavier imbalances on the price action are required in order to detect manipulation zones. This setting can be useful on tickers that have higher liquidity, thus can be manipulated harder.
c) Short Accumulation
This mode has a ~70% lower bar length requirement for accumulation zone detection, and the default manipulation constant. This setting can be useful on tickers that are highly volatile and do not enter accumulation phases too often.
Breakout Method -> If "Close" is selected, bar close price will be taken into calculation when Accumulation & Manipulation zone invalidation. If "Wick" is selected, a wick will be enough to validate the corresponding zone.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
