BB latif Multi MAThis is a version of the Bollinger Band with the addition of the "but" averaging method. It gives good results in different timeframes and I think it's better than simple or exponential averaging. I use the values 20-2.4-40.

TedAlpha – Structure / FVG / OB Sessions:
Only looks for trades when price is inside your defined London or NY time blocks.
CHOCH:
Uses pivots to track swing highs/lows, then flags a bullish CHOCH when structure flips from LL/LH to HH/HL, and vice versa for bearish.
FVG:
Detects 3-candle imbalance and keeps the zone “active” for fvgLookback bars, then checks if price trades back into it.
Order Blocks:
On a CHOCH, grabs the last opposite candle (bearish before bull CHOCH = bullish OB, bullish before bear CHOCH = bearish OB) and marks its body as the OB zone.
Signal:
A valid long = bull CHOCH + in session + (price inside bullish FVG and/or bullish OB, depending on toggles).
Short is the mirror image.
RR 1:3:
SL uses the last swing low (for longs) or last swing high (for shorts), TP is auto-set at 3× that distance and plotted as lines.
CRR HUT NEON TARGET You look for this combo:
Trend up
White EMA 20 above red EMA 200.
Price above EMA 20 and EMA 30.
HUD BUY status
Row says:
“COMPRA MICRO 10-20p” (aggressive scalp) or
“COMPRA SCALPING” or
“COMPRA NORMAL”
Green / teal text and green “●” on the left.
Micro engine conditions
Multi-TF bullish (1m–5m–15m–30m agree, multiTfBull = true).
RSI > 50 and MACD bullish on 1m.
ATR filter OK (sufAtrBuy = true) → volatility is not dead.
If aggressive mode ON: it accepts big bullish candle (pump) + at least not bearish on 15m.
Fibo Long Zone (extra confluence, not mandatory)
Last big up move detected.
Green 0–25% band (long zone).
Best: price pulls back into that 0–25% long zone and HUD gives BUY (green bar / triangle).
Execution (Block A – Fibo Targets)
When longSignal triggers, script draws:
ENTRY LONG line at entryPrice.
SL below low – ATR * SLmult.
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 = +1R / +2R / +3R.
Stop moves to break-even and then trails as TP1/TP2/TP3 are hit.
👉 Summary BUY sentence:
Buy when trend is UP, HUD shows green BUY (COMPRA MICRO/SCALPING/NORMAL), volatility is enough, and (ideally) price is in the green 0–25% pullback zone of the last strong up move.
3. WHEN TO SELL (SHORT)
Mirror logic:
Trend down
White EMA 20 below red EMA 200.
Price below EMA 20 and EMA 30.
HUD SELL status
Row says:
“VENTA MICRO 10-20p” (aggressive scalp) or
“VENTA SCALPING” or
“VENTA NORMAL”
Red / orange text and red “●” on the right.
Micro engine conditions
Multi-TF bearish (1m–5m–15m–30m agree, multiTfBear = true).
RSI < 50 and MACD bearish on 1m.
ATR filter OK (sufAtrSell = true).
If aggressive mode ON: it accepts big bearish candle (drop) + at least not bullish on 15m.
Fibo Short Zone (extra confluence)
Last big down move detected.
Red 0–25% band (short zone).
Best: price pulls back into that 0–25% short zone and HUD gives SELL.
Execution (Block A – Fibo Targets)
When shortSignal triggers, script draws:
ENTRY SHORT line at entryPrice.
SL above high + ATR * SLmult.
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 = –1R / –2R / –3R.
Stop moves to break-even and then trails as TP1/TP2/TP3 are hit.
👉 Summary SELL sentence:
Sell when trend is DOWN, HUD shows red SELL (VENTA MICRO/SCALPING/NORMAL), volatility is enough, and (ideally) price is in the red 0–25% pullback zone of the last strong down move.
4. EXTRA FILTERS / CONFIRMATIONS
Use these only as extra confluence, not as the main trigger:
SMC (BOS + Liquidity) filter
Optional: useSMCfilter = true.
Longs: recent BOS UP + liquidity sweep low (SWEEP LOW).
Shorts: recent BOS DOWN + liquidity sweep high (SWEEP HIGH).
Trendline Breakouts (ChartPrime block)
Long: green “Target” label above price + breakout arrow below bar → extra confirmation to follow an up breakout.
Short: red “Target” label below price + breakout arrow above bar.
Angle Market Structure (BigBeluga)
Green counts 1–2–3 above highs → bullish strength zones.
Pink counts 1–2–3 below lows → bearish strength zones.
Buy closer to +1/+2 after demand; sell closer to –1/–2 after supply.
Target Trend (TT)
TT candles green → bullish bias, TT Up triangles below price.
TT candles brown → bearish bias, TT Down triangles above price.
Best: BUY when HUD BUY + TT is green/up; SELL when HUD SELL + TT is brown/down.
5. WHEN TO STAY OUT
Don’t trade when:
HUD shows “NEUTRO (NO COMPRA)” and “NEUTRO (NO VENTA)”.
ATR filters fail (low volatility) → sufAtrBuy or sufAtrSell false.
Multi-TF is mixed (no clear bull or bear alignment).
Price is far from Fibo zones and far from EMAs (chasing extended move).
CRR Dashboard 1-5-15-1D1. What this indicator does (simple)
It’s a multi-timeframe institutional dashboard for XAU (or any pair) that tells you:
Trend & action on 1m / 5m / 15m / 1D
Best sessions & hours to trade (Asia, London, NY)
If the market is Institutional ON or just Retail zone
Smart Money structure (HH/HL/LL/LH, BOS, ChoCH, Fibo zones, mitigation boxes)
No-pullback entries (SIN RETRO) with automatic TP1–TP3
Extra BUY/SELL filters to block stupid trades (anti-stupid buy/sell)
You don’t need to understand every line of code. You just need to read the HUD + labels.
2. When NOT to trade
Before thinking BUY/SELL, look at the HUD (top center):
Time advice row (HORARIO)
If it says things like:
“NO OPERAR (ROLLOVER)”
“NO OPERAR (HORAS MUERTAS)”
“NO OPERAR (DESPUÉS 3:30 PM)”
👉 Do not trade.
Global status (top right of HUD)
If it shows:
“BUY BLOQ”, “SELL BLOQ”, or “BUY/SELL BLOQ”
👉 Market is dangerous for that side. Avoid entries in that direction.
Institutional status text (SR row, column “INST”)
If it says “RETAIL ZONE”, the move is weak / choppy.
👉 Only A+ setups, or better: skip.
3. BUY – how to use it (step-by-step)
A) Time & session
In the HUD, check:
Session name: LONDON or NEW YORK (or strong Asia scalp).
Time advice:
✅ “OPERAR ✔ LONDRES 3:00–5:00”
✅ “OPERAR ✔ NY OPEN 8:30–10:30”
✅ “OPERAR ✔ NY PM 1:30–3:30”
Institutional text:
✅ “INSTITUTIONAL ON – Momento pro…”
👉 If sessionStrong + Institutional ON = good environment to BUY.
B) Trend & bias
Look at the TF rows in the HUD:
1m / 5m / 15m / 1D:
TENDENCIA: should be mostly ALCISTA (green background).
ACCIÓN: should say “COMPRA” (not “VENTA” and not “BLOQ BUY”).
Mode box:
If MODO says:
“ALCISTA – SOLO COMPRAS” → you only look for BUY.
Global status (top right):
Best BUY statuses:
“BUY PRO ✅”
“BUY REV LL ✅”
or at least “BIAS BUY”
If you see “BUY TRAP ❌”, do NOT buy.
C) Entry types for BUY
You basically have 3 BUY styles:
1️⃣ BUY SIN RETRO (pure momentum)
Internal condition: entryBuyNoRetro
On chart:
You will see “BUY SIN RETRO” in the SR row (HUD)
And alert: “CRR BUY INSTITUCIONAL 1M”
Use it like this:
Trend up on 1m EMAs (15 > 30 > 200)
MACD gives bullish shift
Price crosses above EMA200
Session strong + Institutional ON
👉 You take the BUY with no pullback, pure breakout.
2️⃣ BUY PRO INSTITUCIONAL (full checklist)
Internal: fullBuySetup
You’ll see label “BUY PRO” below the candle.
Global status often shows: “BUY PRO ✅”
This is a mega-filtered BUY:
Institutional context OK (allowBuyInst = true)
Candle is bullish institutional pattern (engulfing, strong body, hammer, etc.)
Multi-TF bias bullish
Session strong
No blockers (not buyBlockerOn, not sellBlockerOn)
👉 This is your A+ professional BUY.
3️⃣ BUY REVERSAL LL (from discount & LL)
Internal: buyReversalLL
You’ll see label: “BUY REV LL” under the candle.
Global status may show: “BUY REV LL ✅”
Logic:
Market had bearish SMC (LLs)
You are near discount Fibo zone (38–61–78%)
Recent LL (support)
Price now above EMA200
Bullish candle pattern + strong session
👉 Reversal BUY from discount zone after taking liquidity.
D) Stop loss & take profits for BUY
When a valid Buy SIN RETRO signal appears:
Script automatically sets:
Entry price
SL (below swing low)
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 using your RR settings (tp1RR, tp2RR, tp3RR)
You see them in HUD:
Row: “ENTRADA / SL / TP1–3”
Text like:
BUY E: 2420.00 SL: 2415.00 T1: 2425.00 T2: 2427.50 T3: 2430.00
Basic management idea:
At TP1: close part, move SL to breakeven.
At TP2 / TP3: trail or close more.
4. SELL – how to use it (mirror of BUY)
Same idea but opposite side.
A) Time & session
Same rules: only when timeAdvice says OPERAR ✔ and Institutional ON.
Avoid rollover / dead hours / after 3:30 PM.
B) Trend & bias for SELL
TF rows (1m/5m/15m/1D):
TENDENCIA: mostly BAJISTA (red).
ACCIÓN: “VENTA”, not “COMPRA”, and not “BLOQ SELL”.
MODO: ideally “BAJISTA – SOLO VENTAS”.
Global status:
Best: “SELL PRO ✅”, “SELL REV HH ✅”, or “BIAS SELL”.
If you see “BUY BLOQ” it’s fine for sells; if “SELL BLOQ”, don’t sell.
C) Entry types for SELL
1️⃣ SELL SIN RETRO
Momentum no-pullback sell
MACD shift bearish + EMA200 break down
Strong session + institutional ON
👉 Use when entrySellNoRetro is true and “SELL SIN RETRO” appears.
2️⃣ SELL PRO INSTITUCIONAL
Label: “SELL PRO” above candle.
Global: “SELL PRO ✅”.
Full SMC + Fibo + multi-TF + candle + session confirmation.
3️⃣ SELL REVERSAL HH
Label: “SELL REV HH” above candle.
From premium zone (Fibo 61–78%) near a recent HH.
Bearish institutional candle from liquidity sweep high.
D) SL & TP for SELL
On Sell SIN RETRO, script sets:
Entry = close
SL = above swing high
TP1/TP2/TP3 below
Managed exactly like BUY but inverted.
5. Ultra-short “How to use” checklist (English)
For BUY:
Trade only when HUD time says “OPERAR ✔ …” and INSTITUTIONAL ON.
Mode near “ALCISTA – SOLO COMPRAS”, most TF rows show COMPRA.
Global status is BUY PRO ✅, BUY REV LL ✅ or BIAS BUY (not BUY BLOQ, not BUY TRAP ❌).
Take entries on:
BUY SIN RETRO,
BUY PRO,
or BUY REV LL,
with clear candle pattern + SL/TP line in HUD.
For SELL:
Same hours & Institutional ON.
Mode near “BAJISTA – SOLO VENTAS”, TF rows mostly VENTA.
Global status SELL PRO ✅, SELL REV HH ✅ or BIAS SELL (not SELL BLOQ).
Take SELL SIN RETRO, SELL PRO, or SELL REV HH with SL/TP from HUD.
MTF Switch Level (Single TF)Multi-timeframe Switch Level (Single TF)
This indicator marks the most recent “switch level” created by breakout / breakdown behaviour on the current timeframe.
How it works
– After a bullish breakout (close above the previous bar’s high), the script sets a bearish switch level at that previous high.
– After a bearish breakdown (close below the previous bar’s low), it sets a bullish switch level at that previous low.
– A single horizontal line extends from the latest switch level.
– The line and “S” label turn bullish when price is above the level and bearish when price is below it.
– Optional alerts fire when price crosses the active switch level.
Use-cases
– Visualise where breakout traders are likely trapped.
– Define a simple “above = bullish / below = bearish” bias line.
– Combine with higher-timeframe analysis or other tools for context.
Inputs
– Enable/disable bullish and bearish switch conditions.
– Line length, colour, style, thickness.
– Label position and offsets.
– Alert conditions for crosses.

VCAI Volume & Liquidity Map LiteVCAI Volume & Liquidity Map Lite visualises recent market participation using a horizontal liquidity/volume histogram plotted beside current price.
It shows where trading activity has clustered, where the chart is thin, and how much of that activity came from buying vs selling pressure.
This Lite edition keeps the tool simple and fast:
Yellow = buy-side volume (aggressive buyers / upward pressure)
Purple = sell-side volume (aggressive sellers / downward pressure)
Thicker sections = higher traded volume at that price
POC line (purple) marks the price with the highest volume concentration
Value Area lines (yellow dashed) mark where ~70% of volume has traded
Bars extend outward to the right of price for a clean, unobstructed chart
Lookback setting controls how many candles the map is built from
Use it to quickly identify:
high-interest price zones
low-liquidity areas where price can move fast
likely reaction levels
where momentum may slow, reverse, or break through
Designed as a lightweight, open-source tool for anyone wanting a clean liquidity/volume map without complex settings.
Part of the VCAI Lite Series.
VCAI Volume LiteVCAI Volume Lite is a clean, modern take on volume analysis designed for traders who want a clearer read on participation without loading multiple indicators.
This Lite edition focuses on the essentials:
real activity vs dead sessions
expansion vs contraction
momentum shifts around breakouts and pullbacks
No hype, no filters, no hidden logic — just a straightforward volume tool rebuilt with the VCAI visual framework.
Use it to quickly spot:
stronger moves backed by genuine participation
weak pushes running on low volume
areas where momentum may stall or accelerate

FOMC Federal Fund Rate Tracker [MHA Finverse]The FOMC Rate Tracker is a comprehensive indicator that visualizes Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and tracks market behavior during FOMC meeting periods. This tool helps traders analyze historical rate changes and anticipate market movements around Federal Open Market Committee announcements.
Key Features:
• Visual FOMC Periods - Automatically highlights each FOMC meeting period with colored boxes spanning from announcement to the next meeting
• Complete Rate Data - Displays actual rates, forecasts, previous rates, and rate differences for every meeting from 2021-2026
• Multiple Color Modes - Choose between cycle colors for visual distinction or rate difference colors (green for hikes, red for cuts, gray for holds)
• Smart Filtering - Filter periods by rate hikes only, cuts only, no change, or surprise moves to focus on specific market conditions
• Performance Metrics - Track average returns during rate hikes, cuts, and holds to identify historical patterns
• Volatility Analysis - Measure and compare price volatility across different FOMC periods
• Statistical Dashboard - View total hikes, cuts, holds, surprises, and longest hold streaks at a glance
• Built-in Alerts - Get notified 1 day before FOMC meetings, on meeting day, or when rates change
How It Works:
The indicator divides your chart into distinct periods between FOMC meetings, with each period showing a labeled box containing the meeting date, actual rate, forecast, previous rate, and rate difference. Future meetings are marked as "UPCOMING" to help you prepare for scheduled announcements.
Use Cases:
- Analyze how markets typically react to rate hikes vs. cuts
- Identify volatility patterns around FOMC announcements
- Backtest strategies based on monetary policy cycles
- Plan trades around upcoming Federal Reserve meetings
- Study the impact of surprise rate decisions on price action
Customization Options:
- Adjustable box transparency and outlines
- Customizable label sizes and colors
- Toggle individual dashboards on/off
- Filter specific types of rate decisions
- Configure alert preferences
This indicator is ideal for traders who incorporate fundamental analysis and monetary policy into their trading decisions. The historical data provides context for understanding market reactions to Federal Reserve actions.
FluxPulse Momentum [JOAT]FluxPulse Momentum - Adaptive Multi-Component Oscillator
FluxPulse Momentum is a composite oscillator that blends three distinct momentum components into a single, smoothed signal line. Rather than relying on a single indicator, it synthesizes adaptive RSI, normalized rate of change, and a Kaufman-style efficiency ratio to provide a multi-dimensional view of momentum.
What This Indicator Does
Combines RSI, Rate of Change (ROC), and Efficiency Ratio into one weighted composite
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness
Displays overbought/oversold zones with optional background highlighting
Generates buy/sell signals when the oscillator crosses its signal line in favorable zones
Provides a real-time dashboard showing current state, momentum direction, and efficiency
Core Components
Adaptive RSI (50% weight) — Standard RSI calculation normalized around the 50 level
Normalized ROC (30% weight) — Rate of change scaled relative to its recent maximum range
Efficiency Ratio (20% weight) — Measures directional movement efficiency, inspired by Kaufman's adaptive concepts
The final composite is smoothed twice using EMA to create both a fast line and a signal line.
Signal Logic
// Buy signal: crossover in lower half
buySignal = ta.crossover(qmo, qmoSmooth) and qmo < 50
// Sell signal: crossunder in upper half
sellSignal = ta.crossunder(qmo, qmoSmooth) and qmo > 50
Signals are generated only when the oscillator is positioned favorably—buy signals occur below the 50 midline, sell signals occur above it.
Dashboard Information
The on-chart table displays:
Current oscillator value with gradient coloring
Momentum state (Overbought, Oversold, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
Momentum direction and acceleration
Efficiency ratio percentage
Active signal status
Inputs Overview
RSI Length — Period for RSI calculation (default: 14)
ROC Length — Period for rate of change (default: 10)
Smoothing Length — EMA smoothing period (default: 3)
Overbought/Oversold Levels — Threshold levels for zone detection
Await Bar Confirmation — Wait for bar close before triggering alerts
How to Use It
Watch for crossovers between the main line and signal line
Use overbought/oversold zones to identify potential reversal areas
Monitor the histogram for momentum acceleration or deceleration
Combine with price action analysis for confirmation
Alerts
Buy Signal — Bullish crossover in the lower zone
Sell Signal — Bearish crossunder in the upper zone
Overbought/Oversold Crosses — Level threshold crossings

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```

## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)

## 📈 TIMEFRAME SELECTION GUIDE
| Your Timeframe | What You See | Best For |
|---------------|--------------|----------|
| **1-minute** | Every tick, high noise | Scalping, precision entries |
| **5-minute** | Balanced clarity | Day trading (RECOMMENDED) |
| **15-minute** | Clean structure | Swing positions |
| **30-minute** | Too compressed | Not recommended (can't see ORB form) |

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 📊 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The 2-System Confluence Method:**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 1: SNIPER ORB → Defines "Zones That Matter" │
│ • 30min ORB = primary institutional range │
│ • VWAP = fair value anchor │
│ • Targets = profit zones │
│ • 5min/15min = early warning signals │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER → Triggers precise entry │
│ • Wait for GOD MODE signal AT 30min ORB boundary │
│ • 6-gate filter: Score ≥9, fat body ≥70%, delta ≥70% │
│ • Candle Dominance Index (CDI) ≥7 │
│ • Intrabar pressure consistent throughout formation │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 3: EXECUTE TRADE │
│ • ORB breakout + GOD MODE = MAXIMUM PROBABILITY │
│ • Enter ONLY when BOTH systems align │
│ • This is TRUE "sniper" trading (2-5 trades/day max) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```

## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles

END OF SNIPER ORB TRADING CHEAT SHEET v1.0
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
UNDETECTED FX - Psychologic LevelsThis indicator automatically plots major 250-pip psychological levels on XAUUSD and highlights the price zones around them. These levels act as strong reaction points where liquidity, reversals, and institutional activity commonly occur.
What the Indicator Does
✔ Plots every 250-pip level starting from a user-defined base (e.g., 4050 → 4075 → 4100 → 4125 → …)
✔ Each level is represented by a thick black horizontal line for maximum visual clarity
✔ Around every 250-pip level, the indicator draws a liquidity zone
Top of zone: +200 pips
Bottom of zone: –200 pips
(configured as ± zoneHalf in settings)
✔ Uses extend: both, so levels stretch across the entire chart and stay fixed, no matter how far you scroll
✔ Zones are filled with a customizable color for clear premium/discount visualization
✔ The indicator never repaints and requires no updates after drawing — all levels are fixed on their price coordinates
Why It’s Useful
🔹 Helps quickly identify institutional levels where gold often reacts
🔹 Acts as a framework for scalping, intraday trading, and swing bias
🔹 Makes it easy to spot liquidity sweeps, rejections, and premium/discount areas
🔹 Clearly shows market structure breaks around key psychological levels
🔹 Forces discipline by creating predefined, fixed levels for trading decisions
Best Use Case
XAUUSD scalpers
Intraday traders who rely on precision entries
Traders who use psychological levels, liquidity grabs, or smart-money concepts
Anyone wanting a clean, non-cluttered chart with high-impact levels only
CRR Bill Williams These are SMMA based on the average price (high+low/2):
Jaw – Blue
Slow line, the base of the trend.
Teeth – Red
Medium speed.
Lips – Green/Lime
The fast one, the one that touches the price first.
Trend reading with the Alligator:
🟢 Uptrend (trendUpAlligator):
Lips (green) > Teeth (red) > Jaw (blue)
The alligator is awake and eating UP.
🔴 Downtrend (trendDownAlligator):
Lips (green) < Teeth (red) < Jaw (blue)
The alligator is eating DOWN.
⚪ Range / sleeping market (trendNeutral):
The lines cross, get tangled, without a clear order → better NOT to trade aggressively there.
In the HUD it shows it as:
UPTREND (green)
DOWNTREND (red)
RANGE (gray)
2️⃣ Fractals (▲ and ▼ arrows)
Fractal High (▲ green): possible local top (resistance).
Fractal Low (▼ red): possible local bottom (support).
They serve as:
Points where the price can break through to continue.
Areas where you can place stop losses or breakouts.
3️⃣ AO and AC (trend strength)
AO (Awesome Oscillator): difference of moving averages (5 and 34 of the average price).
AO > 0 → bullish pressure.
AO < 0 → bearish pressure.
AC (Accelerator): AO – average of AO.
AC > 0 → acceleration in favor of the movement.
AC < 0 → the movement slows down or goes against the trend.
In the HUD you see:
AO > 0 | AC > 0 → good tailwind.
AO < 0 | AC < 0 → strong headwind. 4️⃣ Bill Williams MFI (GREEN, FADE, FAKE, SQUAT)
This MFI is based on the candle range/volume and then compares it to the previous candle:
GREEN (Lime) → mfiUp + volUp
Price and volume rise together → real, strong momentum.
FADE (Gray) → mfiDown + volDown
Everything is dying down, price and volume fall → exhaustion.
FAKE (Orange) → mfiUp + volDown
Price rises but volume falls → deceptive movement.
SQUAT (Fuchsia) → mfiDown + volUp
Strong fight between buyers and sellers → explosive zone.
The color you see in the "MFI" HUD is:
Green → healthy momentum
Gray → fading out
Orange → deception
Fuchsia → strong fight, a big move may be coming
5️⃣ Candle Colors (barcolor)
Your script paints the candles like this:
💚 StrongBull (strong buying)
Bullish Alligator (Lips > Teeth > Jaw)
AO > 0
AC > 0
MFI = "GREEN"
→ Bright LIME candle:
👉 strong upward trend, ideal time to look for buying opportunities.
❤️ StrongBear (strong selling)
Bearish Alligator (Lips < Teeth < Jaw)
AO < 0
AC < 0
MFI = "GREEN"
→ Strong RED candle:
👉 strong downward trend, ideal for looking for selling opportunities.
🩵 Normal bullish trend:
Bullish Alligator but without all the strength conditions → TEAL (bluish-green) candle.
🟥 Normal bearish trend:
Bearish Alligator but without full strength → MAROON candle.
⚪ Sideways market:
Everything mixed → translucent GRAY candle (color.gray 60).
👉 Not the best time to enter aggressively. 6️⃣ BUY / SELL Signals (triangles)
✔️ BUY Condition (longSignalCond)
The code requires:
Bullish Alligator → Lips > Teeth > Jaw
AO > 0
AC > 0
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT
close > Lips (green lips) → the price is already above the fast moving average.
When fulfilled:
A green “BUY” triangle appears below the candle.
In the HUD:
Trend: BULLISH (green)
AO / AC: > 0
MFI: GREEN or SQUAT
BW Setup: “SIGNAL: BUY”
Context: “Buying Pressure”
👉 Idea for making money (buys):
Wait for the Alligator to be in a bullish order.
Check that the HUD says BULLISH and AO/AC > 0.
Check MFI: GREEN or SQUAT.
As soon as the BUY triangle appears and the candle is lime/teal, you can:
Enter a buy position.
Place the stop loss below the last fractal low (▼).
Close partially when:
MFI changes to FADE/FAKE or
The candles change to gray/maroon or
The Alligator becomes entangled (loses its order).
❌ SELL Condition (shortSignalCond)
The code requires:
Bearish Alligator → Lips < Teeth < Jaw
AO < 0
AC < 0
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT (strength but downwards)
close < Lips → price below the lips.
When fulfilled:
A red “SELL” triangle appears above the candle.
In the HUD:
Trend: BEARISH
AO / AC: < 0
MFI: GREEN / SQUAT
BW Setup: “SIGNAL: SELL”
Context: “Selling Pressure”
👉 Idea for making money (sells):
Wait for the Alligator to be in a bearish order.
HUD in BEARISH, AO/AC < 0.
MFI in GREEN or SQUAT.
When the SELL triangle appears with a red/maroon candle:
Enter a sell position. Stop above the last fractal high (▲).
Partial exit when:
MFI changes to FADE/FAKE,
The candles turn gray/teal,
Or the Alligator becomes tangled.
7️⃣ When NOT to trade
Avoid:
HUD → “RANGE”
Mostly gray candles.
AO and AC mixed (one >0 and the other <0).
MFI constantly in FAKE/FADE.
In these situations, the system tells you: slow or deceptive market → not suitable for serious trades.
8️⃣ Ultra-short summary (golden rule)
BUY:
Alligator ordered UP (green > red > blue).
AO > 0 and AC > 0.
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT.
Strong green candle (lime/teal) + BUY triangle.
Even better if it breaks a previous fractal low upwards.
SELL:
Alligator ordered DOWN (green < red < blue).
AO < 0 and AC < 0.
MFI = GREEN or SQUAT.
Red/maroon candle + SELL triangle.
Even better if it breaks a fractal high downwards.

**KEY DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER ORB INDICATORS:**
- You see **ALL 3 ORB PERIODS SIMULTANEOUSLY** (5min, 15min, 30min)
- Targets calculated from **30min ORB ONLY** (not 5min or 15min)
- **NO BOX FILLS** - clean line-only display for sniper precision
- Auto-disappears at session end (no clutter from old sessions)

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background

## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```

## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing Matrix**
```
Account Size: $50,000 example
Risk Per Trade: 1-2% max
ORB Range | Stop Distance | Position Size (1% risk) | YM Contracts
-------------|---------------|-------------------------|-------------
50 points | 50 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
100 points | 100 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
150 points | 150 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
200 points | 200 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per point) = Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule**
```
✅ Strike 1: Full position size
❌ Stop hit → Strike 2: Half position size
❌ Stop hit → Strike 3: 1/4 position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE for the session
```
### **Profit Taking Strategy**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1x): Take 30% off, trail stop 20 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x): Take 15% off, let 5% run to 2x-3x
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (wait until 10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
🚫 ORB range < 30 points YM (too tight, likely fake breakout)
🚫 ORB range > 300 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (walk away)
🚫 Price whipsawing violently (wait for structure)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, or distracted

## 🧠 PATTERN RECOGNITION QUICK GUIDE
### **Bullish ORB Patterns**
```
1. "Staircase" → Price respects each target as new support
2. "Rocket Launch" → Clean break through all targets no pullback
3. "VWAP Bounce" → Pullback to VWAP, then continuation higher
4. "Triple Compression" → All ORBs converge then explosive breakout
```
### **Bearish ORB Patterns**
```
1. "Waterfall" → Price cascades through all downside targets
2. "Failed High" → Breaks top, immediately reverses to bottom
3. "VWAP Rejection" → Hits VWAP from above, hard rejection down
4. "Slow Bleed" → Gradual drift lower, respecting each target
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns**
```
1. "Ping Pong" → Price bouncing between ORB high/low repeatedly
2. "Flat VWAP" → VWAP horizontal, price hugging it (no trade)
3. "Wide Range" → ORB > 300 points, too much uncertainty
4. "Gap Confusion" → Opens far outside all ORBs, wait for reset
```
---
## 📊 CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
**Rate Each Trade 1-10 Before Entry:**
```
Breakout confirmed (30min ORB): +2 points
VWAP alignment: +2 points
Volume spike on breakout: +1 point
All 3 ORBs align: +1 point
Clean candle close beyond ORB: +1 point
Your YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal: +2 points
Time: 10:00-11:30 AM ET window: +1 point
SCORING:
9-10 points = SNIPER SETUP (maximum size)
7-8 points = GOOD TRADE (standard size)
5-6 points = MARGINAL (half size or skip)
< 5 points = NO TRADE (wait for better)
```
---
## 🎯 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The Perfect Confluence:**
```
STEP 1: SNIPER ORB identifies the STRUCTURE
→ 30min ORB defines "Zones That Matter"
→ VWAP shows institutional bias
→ Targets define profit zones
STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER triggers the ENTRY
→ Wait for GOD MODE signal at ORB boundary
→ 6-gate system confirms institutional pressure
→ Score ≥9.0, fat body ≥70%, delta dominance ≥70%
STEP 3: Execute with PRECISION
→ ORB break + GOD MODE = highest probability
→ Enter only when BOTH systems align
→ This is TRUE "sniper" trading
```
---
## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
```
❌ Entering BEFORE 30min ORB completes
✅ Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London)
❌ Ignoring VWAP position
✅ Always check: is VWAP confirming your directional bias?
❌ Chasing breakouts after 50+ point move
✅ Wait for pullback to VWAP or first target
❌ Trading during lunch (12-1 PM ET)
✅ Volume dies, false signals increase
❌ Using same target % in all conditions
✅ Adjust: 30-40% in chop, 50-75% in trends
❌ Forgetting to move stop to breakeven at Target 1
✅ NEVER give back a winning trade
❌ Overtrading on slow days
✅ Some days only have 1-2 clean setups, that's okay!
❌ Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ 3 losses = done, come back tomorrow

## 🏆 WINNING TRADER MINDSET
```
"I don't need to trade every ORB breakout.
I only need the HIGH-PROBABILITY setups.
3-5 trades per day is enough.
90%+ win rate on those 3-5 trades = success.
Patience + Precision = Profitability"
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**Indicator Not Showing?**
- Check max_boxes/max_lines limits in code
- Verify you're on 1min-30min timeframe
- Ensure TradingView session is 9:30-17:00 ET
**ORBs Look Wrong?**
- Verify timezone: should be "America/New_York"
- Check if market has DST adjustment today
- Confirm broker chart time matches indicator
**VWAP Disappeared?**
- Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" in settings
- Check if session ended (auto-disappears at 5 PM)
- Verify you're not in pre-market hours
**Targets Too Close/Far?**
- Adjust "Target % Increment" setting
- 30% = tighter, 75% = wider
- Default 50% works for most conditions

IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro [FXSMARTLAB]🔥 IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro
IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro is a precision toolkit for intraday traders who rely on objective daily structure instead of repainting indicators and noisy signals.
Every level plotted by IDLP is derived from one simple rule:
Today’s trading decisions must be based on completed market data only.
That means:
✅ No use of the current day’s unfinished data for levels
✅ No lookahead
✅ No hidden repaint behavior
IDLP reconstructs the previous trading day from the intraday chart and then projects that structure forward onto the current session, giving you a stable, institutional-style intraday map.
🧱 1. Previous Daily Levels (Core Structure)
IDLP extracts and displays the full previous daily structure, which you can toggle on/off individually via the inputs:
Previous Daily High (PDH)
Previous Daily Low (PDL)
Previous Daily Open
Previous Daily Close,
Previous Daily Mid (50% of the range)
Previous Daily Q1 (25% of the range)
Previous Daily Q3 (75% of the range)
All of these come from the day that just closed and are then locked for the entire current session.
What these levels tell you:
PDH / PDL – true extremes of yesterday’s price action (liquidity zones, breakout/reversal points).
Previous Daily Open / Close – how the market positioned itself between session start and end
Mid (50%) – equilibrium level of the previous day’s auction.
Q1 / Q3 (25% / 75%) internal structure of the previous day’s range, dividing it into four equal zones and helping you see if price is trading in the lower, middle, or upper quarter of yesterday’s range.
All these levels are non-repaint: once the day is completed, they are fixed and never change when you scroll, replay, or backtest.
🎯 2. Previous Day Pivot System (P, S1, S2, R1, R2)
IDLP includes a classic floor-trader pivot grid, but critically:
It is calculated only from the previous day’s high, low, and close.
So for the current session, the following are fixed:
Pivot P – central reference level of the previous day.
Support 1 (S1) and Support 2 (S2)
Resistance 1 (R1) and Resistance 2 (R2)
These levels are widely used by institutional desks and algos to structure:
mean-reversion plays, breakout zones, intraday targets, and risk placement.
Everything in this section is non-repaint because it only uses the previous day’s fully closed OHLC.
📏 3. 1-Day ADR Bands Around Previous Daily Open
Instead of a multi-day ADR, IDLP uses a pure 1-Day ADR logic:
ADR = Range of the previous day
ADR = PDH − PDL
From that, IDLP builds two clean bands centered around the previous daily Open:
ADR Upper Band = Previous Day Open + (ADR × Multiplier)
ADR Lower Band = Previous Day Open − (ADR × Multiplier)
The multiplier is user-controlled in the inputs:
ADR Multiplier (default: 0.8)
This lets you choose how “tight” or “wide” you want the ADR envelope to be around the previous day’s open.
Typical use cases:
Identify realistic intraday extension targets, Spot exhaustion moves beyond ADR bands, Frame reversals after reaching volatility extremes, Align trades with or against volatility expansion
Again, since ADR is calculated only from the completed previous day, these bands are totally non-repaint during the current session.
🔒 4. True Non-Repaint Architecture
The internal logic of IDLP is built to guarantee non-repaint behavior:
It reconstructs each day using time("D") and tracks:
dayOpen, dayHigh, dayLow, dayClose for the current day
prevDayOpen, prevDayHigh, prevDayLow, prevDayClose for the previous day
At the moment a new day starts:
The “current day” gets “frozen” into prevDay*
These prevDay* values then drive: Previous Daily Levels, Pivots, ADR.
During the current day:
All these “previous day” values stay fixed, no matter what happens.
They do not move in real time, they do not shift in replay.
This means:
What you see in the past is exactly what you would have seen live.
No fake backtests.
No illusion of perfection from repainting behavior.
🎯 5. Designed For Intraday Traders
IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro is made for:
- Day traders and scalpers
- Index and FX traders
- Prop firm challenge trading
- Traders using ICT/SMC-style levels, liquidity, and range logic
- Anyone who wants a clean, institutional-style daily framework without noise
You get:
Previous Day OHLC
Mid / Q1 / Q3 of the previous range
Previous-Day Pivots (P, S1, S2, R1, R2)
1-Day ADR Bands around Previous Day Open
All calculated only from closed data, updated once per day, and then locked.
TRI - Multi-Timeframe FVGTRI - MULTI-TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS v1.0.0
DESCRIPTION:
Advanced multi-timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator that displays FVG zones from higher timeframes
on your current chart. Supports automatic or manual timeframe selection with comprehensive visualization
and alert system.
KEY FEATURES:
Multi-timeframe FVG detection - view FVG from any higher timeframe
Automatic timeframe selection - configure different FVG timeframes for each chart timeframe
Automatic mitigation detection - zones change color when price mitigates them
Configurable FVG threshold - filter out small gaps
Customizable visualization - colors, borders, labels, text colors
Smart zone inclusion - larger zones automatically remove smaller included zones
Memory efficient - automatic cleanup of expired zones
HOW IT WORKS:
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is detected when there's a 3-candle pattern with a gap between candle 1 and
candle 3, indicating institutional order flow imbalances. Bullish FVG occurs when candle 3's low is
above candle 1's high (gap up), creating a demand zone shown in green. Bearish FVG occurs when candle
3's high is below candle 1's low (gap down), creating a supply zone shown in red.
The indicator uses request.security() to fetch data from the selected higher timeframe, detects FVG
patterns on that timeframe, and displays them on your current chart. FVG zones remain active until
price closes through them (mitigation), then change color and remain visible for a configurable
number of bars before disappearing.
TIMEFRAME CONFIGURATION:
Configure different FVG timeframes based on current chart timeframe:
1m-5m charts → Default 4h FVG
15m charts → Default 4h FVG
30m-1h charts → Default 4h FVG
4h charts → Default 4h FVG
Daily charts → Default Daily FVG
Weekly charts → Default Weekly FVG
Monthly charts → Default Monthly FVG
All timeframes are configurable via input settings.
BEST USE:
Works on all timeframes and asset classes. Particularly useful for intraday traders who want to see
higher timeframe FVG zones on their lower timeframe charts. FVG zones often act as support/resistance
and are frequently filled by price returning to rebalance the imbalance. Use them to identify potential
entry/exit points, stop-loss placement, and institutional order flow areas.

Multi-EMA Slope DashboardThis script provides a comprehensive dashboard displayed directly on the chart, allowing you to analyze the underlying trend using 8 Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) ranging from period 20 to 55.
Unlike classic indicators that simply check if the price is above or below the EMA, this tool analyzes the slope of each moving average to determine the true market dynamics.
The indicator calculates the status of 8 distinct EMAs (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55). For each EMA, the script determines the direction using the following logic:
Slope Calculation: It compares the current EMA value with its value 3 bars ago (variable nb_bougies).
Neutrality Threshold: To avoid false signals in ranging (flat) markets, a neutrality filter is applied (0.01% of the EMA value).
Dashboard Interpretation
The table is located at the top right of your screen and displays three columns:
EMA: The moving average period (e.g., 20, 55).
State:
H (Hausse / Up): The slope is positive and above the threshold.
B (Baisse / Down): The slope is negative and below the negative threshold.
N (Neutre / Neutral): The slope is weak, indicating no clear trend.
COL (Color): Quick visual indicator.
🔵 Blue: Bullish trend.
🟠 Orange: Bearish trend.
⚪ Gray: Neutral Trend / Ranging.
Trading Usage
Trend Confirmation: Use the "Totaux" (Totals) counter at the bottom of the table. If you see 8/8 H (Blue), the bullish trend is strong and aligned across all timeframes (short and medium term).
Reversal Detection: If fast EMAs (20, 25) turn Orange (B) while slow ones (50, 55) are still Blue (H), this may signal the beginning of a correction or a trend reversal.
Liquidity Heatmap [Eˣ]💧 Liquidity Heatmap - Free Indicator
Overview
The Liquidity Heatmap reveals where stop losses are clustered in the market - the hidden liquidity zones that smart money targets. This indicator automatically identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above price and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below price, showing you exactly where institutional traders are likely to hunt for stops before major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Identifies Liquidity Zones:
• Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) - Stop losses from SHORT positions clustered above price
• Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) - Stop losses from LONG positions clustered below price
• Automatically clusters nearby levels into high-probability zones
• Shows liquidity strength (1-5+) - higher numbers = more stops = bigger target
• Removes swept liquidity in real-time as price takes out stops
Visual Display:
• 🔴 Red Zones Above Price = Buy-Side Liquidity (shorts' stops)
• 🟢 Green Zones Below Price = Sell-Side Liquidity (longs' stops)
• Thicker/Darker Zones = Higher liquidity concentration
• BSL/SSL Labels = Show exact strength count
• Triangle Markers = Liquidity sweep alerts (when price takes stops)
Smart Features:
• Auto-removes old liquidity (customizable lookback period)
• Clusters nearby levels to reduce noise
• Tracks liquidity strength and age
• Updates in real-time as new swing points form
• Alerts when major liquidity zones are swept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Understanding Liquidity Concepts
What is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to clusters of stop loss orders sitting in the market. These stops represent:
• Long traders' stop losses (below support) = Sell-Side Liquidity
• Short traders' stop losses (above resistance) = Buy-Side Liquidity
Why Does This Matter?
• Institutions NEED liquidity to fill large orders
• Price often "sweeps" liquidity zones before reversing
• Major liquidity = major target for smart money
• Understanding liquidity = understanding market maker behavior
The Liquidity Cycle:
1. Retail traders place stops at obvious levels (swing highs/lows)
2. Smart money identifies these clusters
3. Price is pushed to sweep the stops (liquidity grab)
4. Institutions fill their orders with this liquidity
5. Price reverses in the opposite direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Sweep Reversals
Best For: Swing trading, catching reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Identify strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone below price
2. Wait for price to sweep down into the SSL zone
3. Look for rejection/reversal candle pattern (pin bar, engulfing)
4. Enter LONG after sweep and reversal confirmation
5. Stop loss: Below the swept liquidity zone
6. Target: Opposite liquidity zone or key resistance
Why It Works: Smart money sweeps stops to fill buy orders, then pushes price higher
Example:
• SSL zone at $45,000 with strength 3
• Price drops to $44,950, sweeps the SSL
• Strong bullish reversal candle forms
• Enter long at $45,100
• Target: BSL zone at $47,000
Strategy 2: Liquidity-to-Liquidity Runs
Best For: Day trading, scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Entry Setup:
1. Price sweeps Sell-Side Liquidity below and reverses up
2. Identify Buy-Side Liquidity zone above
3. Enter LONG targeting the BSL zone above
4. Exit near/at the BSL zone (don't wait for sweep)
5. Stop loss: Below recent swing low
Why It Works: Price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
Variation - Reverse for Shorts:
• BSL sweep above → Look for SSL zone below
• Enter short targeting lower liquidity
Strategy 3: Liquidity Avoidance (Stop Placement)
Best For: Improving win rate on existing strategies
Timeframes: All
Rules:
1. NEVER place stops exactly at obvious liquidity zones
2. Place stops beyond the liquidity zone with buffer
3. Or place stops before the liquidity zone (tighter, riskier)
4. Monitor liquidity strength - avoid zones with strength 3+
Why It Works: Market makers hunt obvious stop clusters
Example:
• Trading long, swing low at $100 (SSL zone, strength 4)
• Bad: Stop at $99.50 (will get swept)
• Better: Stop at $98.50 (beyond the liquidity)
• Alternative: Stop at $100.50 (tighter, before sweep zone)
Strategy 4: Confluence Trading
Best For: High probability setups
Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Find liquidity zone that aligns with:
• Major support/resistance level
• Fibonacci retracement (0.618, 0.786)
• Trendline
• Round psychological number ($50,000, $2,000, etc)
2. Wait for sweep of this high-confluence zone
3. Enter on reversal with multiple confirmations
4. Larger position size justified by confluence
Why It Works: Multiple factors = institutional interest = higher probability

⚙️ Settings Explained
Core Settings
Swing Detection Length (Default: 10)
• Number of bars left/right to identify swing highs and lows
• Lower values (5-8): More sensitive, more liquidity zones, more noise
• Higher values (12-20): Less sensitive, only major swings, cleaner chart
• Recommended: 8-10 for intraday, 10-15 for swing trading
Liquidity Lookback Bars (Default: 100)
• How many historical bars to track liquidity zones
• Lower values (50-75): Shows only recent liquidity
• Higher values (100-200): Shows longer-term liquidity clusters
• Zones older than this are automatically removed
• Recommended: 100-150 for most timeframes
Zone Proximity % (Default: 0.5)
• Percentage threshold to group nearby levels into single zone
• Lower values (0.2-0.4): Keeps levels separate, more zones
• Higher values (0.6-1.0): Aggressive clustering, fewer zones
• Recommended: 0.4-0.6 for crypto, 0.3-0.5 for forex, 0.5-0.8 for stocks
Visualization Settings
Show Buy-Side Liquidity
• Toggle ON/OFF red zones above price
• Turn OFF if only interested in downside liquidity
Show Sell-Side Liquidity
• Toggle ON/OFF green zones below price
• Turn OFF if only interested in upside liquidity
Show Liquidity Labels
• Toggle BSL/SSL labels with strength numbers
• Turn OFF for cleaner chart appearance
• Keep ON to see exact liquidity strength
Display Style
• Boxes: Filled rectangular zones (best for visualizing strength)
• Lines: Horizontal dashed lines (minimal, clean look)
• Both: Boxes + Lines (maximum visibility)
Color Intensity
• Low: 85% transparency (subtle, less distracting)
• Medium: 75% transparency (balanced visibility)
• High: 65% transparency (bold, maximum visibility)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Info Panel Guide
Located in the top-right corner, the info panel provides real-time liquidity statistics:
Buy-Side Zones
• Count of active BSL zones above current price
• Higher number = More upside targets for price
Sell-Side Zones
• Count of active SSL zones below current price
• Higher number = More downside targets for price
Total Zones
• Combined count of all active liquidity
• Useful for gauging overall market structure
Nearest BSL
• Distance in % to closest Buy-Side Liquidity above
• Example: +2.5% means BSL is 2.5% above current price
• Quick reference for next upside target
Nearest SSL
• Distance in % to closest Sell-Side Liquidity below
• Example: -1.8% means SSL is 1.8% below current price
• Quick reference for next downside target
Liquidity Bias
• ⬆️ Bullish : More BSL than SSL (upside targets dominate)
• ⬇️ Bearish : More SSL than BSL (downside targets dominate)
• ↔️ Balanced: Equal liquidity on both sides (range-bound)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Understanding Liquidity Strength
What Do The Numbers Mean?
Strength 1 : Single swing point
• Light liquidity, minor target
• Can be ignored in trending markets
• Useful in ranging/choppy conditions
Strength 2-3 : Moderate liquidity cluster
• Multiple nearby swing points merged
• Decent target for intraday moves
• Watch for potential sweeps
Strength 4-5 : Strong liquidity cluster
• Major cluster of stops
• High-probability target for institutions
• Expect reactions when swept
Strength 6+ : Extreme liquidity pool
• Massive stop cluster (rare)
• Critical zone - high probability of sweep
• Often marks major support/resistance
• Ideal for confluence setups
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Alert Setup
This indicator includes 2 powerful alert types:
1. Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps BSL zone above
• Shows potential bullish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes upward continuation after sweep
2. Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps SSL zone below
• Shows potential bearish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes downward continuation after sweep
To Set Up Alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in TradingView
2. Condition: Select "Liquidity Heatmap"
3. Choose alert type: BSL Sweep or SSL Sweep
4. Configure notification method (push, email, webhook)
5. Click "Create"
Pro Tip: Set alerts for both BSL and SSL sweeps to catch opportunities in both directions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for confirmation - Don't enter immediately on sweep, wait for reversal pattern
• Combine with trend - SSL sweeps in uptrends = higher probability longs
• Check multiple timeframes - 1H liquidity + 4H liquidity = strongest zones
• Monitor strength - Focus on zones with strength 3+
• Use proper risk management - Liquidity sweeps can go further than expected
• Watch for re-sweeps - Sometimes liquidity zones get swept multiple times
• Consider volume - High volume sweeps = stronger reversal potential
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't fade strong trends - In strong trends, sweeps often continue rather than reverse
• Don't overtrade - Not every sweep is a tradeable setup
• Don't ignore context - Check broader market conditions and news
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance, and other analysis
• Don't place stops at liquidity - Your stops will be hunted
• Don't expect perfection - Some sweeps fail, some zones never get hit
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5min, 15min (fast moves, frequent sweeps)
• Day Trading: 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Trading: 1H, 4H, Daily (major liquidity zones)
• Position Trading: 4H, Daily, Weekly (institutional liquidity)
🔥 Best Markets:
• Crypto (high volatility, frequent liquidity grabs)
• Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD - liquid pairs)
• Futures (ES, NQ, CL - high liquidity contracts)
• Stocks (large caps with high volume)
⏰ Best Times:
• Market opens (high volatility = liquidity hunting)
• Before/after major news events
• Session overlaps (London/NY for forex)
• First hour and last hour of trading

• Auto-Cleanup - Removes swept and old liquidity automatically
• Visual Clarity - Instant understanding of market structure
• Actionable - Clear targets and reversal zones for trading
• Real-Time Updates - Adapts as market structure evolves
Based On Professional Concepts:
• Order flow analysis
• Market maker behavior
• Institutional trading techniques
• Liquidity engineering principles

📈 Common Liquidity Patterns
Pattern 1: The Double Sweep
• Price sweeps SSL below, reverses up
• Price sweeps BSL above, reverses down
• Back to original range
• Trading: Fade the second sweep for mean reversion
Pattern 2: The Cascade
• Multiple SSL zones stacked below
• Price sweeps first zone, continues to next
• Chain reaction of stop losses triggering
• Trading: Ride the momentum to lowest zone
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price approaches liquidity but doesn't quite sweep
• Reverses before hitting the zone
• "Scared money" didn't wait for full sweep
• Trading: Wait for actual sweep, don't anticipate
Pattern 4: The Absorption
• Price sweeps major liquidity zone (strength 5+)
• No reversal, just consolidation
• Institutions absorbed all liquidity
• Trading: Wait for breakout direction, likely continuation

Overview
The Cash Detector is a comprehensive trading strategy that combines momentum analysis with price action confirmation to identify high-probability entry points. This strategy is designed to capture trend reversals and continuation moves by requiring multiple confirming signals before entry, significantly reducing false signals common in single-indicator systems.
Strategy Background
The strategy is built on the principle of confluence trading requiring multiple technical factors to align before taking a position. It focuses on two critical phases of market rotation:
Q2 Momentum Phase: Uses MACD crossovers to identify shifts in market momentum, signaling when bulls or bears are gaining control.
Q4 Trigger Phase: Employs engulfing candlestick patterns to confirm strong directional pressure and validate the momentum signal with actual price action.
By combining these elements, the strategy filters out weak signals and focuses only on setups where both momentum AND price action agree on direction.
Key Features
Dual Confirmation System: Requires both MACD momentum shift and engulfing candle pattern
RSI Filter: Optional overbought/oversold filter to avoid extreme conditions
Built-in Risk Management: Configurable stop loss and take profit levels
Performance Dashboard: Real-time ROI metrics displayed on chart
Full Backtesting: Strategy mode allows historical performance analysis
