Order Blocks v2Order Blocks v2 – Smart OB Detection with Time & FVG Filters
Order Blocks v2 is an advanced tool designed to identify potential institutional footprints in the market by dynamically plotting bullish and bearish order blocks.
This indicator refines classic OB logic by combining:
Fractal-based break conditions
Time-level filtering (Power of 3)
Optional Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation
Real-time plotting and auto-invalidation
Perfect for traders using ICT, Smart Money, or algorithmic timing models like Hopplipka.
🧠 What the indicator does
Detects order blocks after break of bullish/bearish fractals
Supports 3-bar or 5-bar fractal structures
Allows OB detection based on close breaks or high/low breaks
Optionally confirms OBs only if followed by a Fair Value Gap within N candles
Filters OBs based on specific time levels (3, 7, 11, 14) — core anchors in many algorithmic models
Automatically deletes invalidated OBs once price closes through the zone
⚙️ How it works
The indicator:
Tracks local fractal highs/lows
Once a fractal is broken by price, it backtracks to identify the best OB candle (highest bullish or lowest bearish)
Validates the level by checking:
OB type logic (close or HL break)
Time stamp match with algorithmic time anchors (e.g. 3, 7, 11, 14 – known from the Power of 3 concept)
Optional FVG confirmation after OB
Plots OB zones as lines (body or wick-based) and removes them if invalidated by a candle close
This ensures traders see only valid, active levels — removing noise from broken or out-of-context zones.
🔧 Customization
Choose 3-bar or 5-bar fractals
OB detection type: close break or HL break
Enable/disable OBs only on times 3, 7, 11, 14 (Hopplipka style)
Optional: require nearby FVG for validation
Line style: solid, dashed, or dotted
Adjust OB length, width, color, and use body or wick for OB height
🚀 How to use it
Add the script to your chart
Choose your preferred OB detection mode and filters
Use plotted OB zones to:
Anticipate price rejections and reversals
Validate Smart Money or ICT-based entry zones
Align setups with algorithmic time sequences (3, 7, 11, 14)
Filter out invalid OBs automatically, keeping your chart clean
The tool is useful on any timeframe but performs best when combined with a liquidity-based or time-anchored trading model.
💡 What makes it original
Combines fractal logic with OB confirmation and time anchors
Implements time-based filtering inspired by Hopplipka’s interpretation of the "Power of 3"
Allows OB validation via optional FVG follow-up — rarely available in public indicators
Auto-cleans invalidated OBs to reduce clutter
Designed to reflect market structure logic used by institutions and algorithms
💬 Why it’s worth using
Order Blocks v2 simplifies one of the most nuanced parts of SMC: identifying clean and high-probability OBs.
It removes subjectivity, adds clear timing logic, and integrates optional confluence tools — like FVG.
For traders serious about algorithmic-level structure and clean setups, this tool delivers both logic and clarity.

Support and Resistance Power Channel [ChartPrime]The Support and Resistance Power Channel indicator helps traders visualize key support and resistance zones, along with buy and sell power within those zones. By identifying the highest and lowest prices within a defined range, this indicator provides insight into potential price reversals and market strength. It calculates the strength of buy and sell pressure within the zones and includes additional features like midline values and delayed signals to reduce false breakouts.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Support and Resistance Zones :
This indicator identifies dynamic support (lower zone) and resistance (upper zone) levels, allowing traders to easily visualize key price levels. These zones are customizable with settings for the length of the channel and how far the zones extend into the future. The zones can be used to predict areas of potential price reversal or consolidation.
⯌ Buy and Sell Power :
Within the upper resistance zone, the indicator calculates Sell Power based on the number of bearish candles, while the lower support zone calculates Buy Power based on bullish candles. This feature helps traders understand the strength of buying or selling activity within each zone.
Example of buy and sell power tracking:
⯌ Highest, Lowest, and Mid Price Levels :
The indicator marks the highest and lowest price levels within the channel with an "X," and displays these values at the end of the channel. Additionally, the midline (average of the high and low) is plotted with a dotted line, showing a key area that the price often retests during trends.
⯌ Delayed Signal Markers :
To prevent false breakouts, the indicator includes a 2-bar delay for signals. These signals are plotted when the price crosses above or below the resistance or support zones, confirming potential reversals or breakouts. Arrows or diamonds are used to mark these signals on the chart.
Example of delayed breakout signals on the chart:
⯌ Extend Zones into the Future :
In the settings, traders can extend the support and resistance zones further into the future, allowing for ongoing analysis even after the initial levels have been identified. This feature can help with forward-looking trade planning.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the number of bars used to calculate the support and resistance zones.
Extend : Sets how far the support and resistance zones should be extended into the future.
Top and Bottom Colors : Allows customization of the colors for the support and resistance zones.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Support and Resistance Power Channel indicator provides a powerful and visually intuitive way to track key market levels, buy and sell pressure, and potential reversals. With its real-time zone plotting and the calculation of power within each zone, it offers traders essential insights for making more informed trading decisions.

TrendSync Pro (SMC)📊 TrendSync Pro (SMC) – Advanced Trend-Following Strategy with HTF Alignment
Created by Shubham Singh
🔍 Strategy Overview
TrendSync Pro (SMC) is a precision-based smart trend-following strategy inspired by Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It combines: Real-time pivot-based trendline detection
Higher Time Frame (HTF) filtering to align trades with dominant trend
Risk management via adjustable Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP)
Directional control — trade only bullish, bearish, or both setups
Realistic backtesting using commissions and slippage
Pre-optimized profiles for scalpers, intraday, swing, and long-term traders
🧠 How It Works:
🔧 Strategy Settings Image:
beeimg.com
The strategy dynamically identifies trend direction by using swing high/low pivots. When a new pivot forms: It draws a trendline from the last significant pivot
Detects whether the trend is up (based on pivot lows) or down (based on pivot highs)
Waits for price to break above/below the trendline
Confirms with HTF price direction (HTF close > previous HTF close = bullish)
Only then it triggers a long or short trade
It exits either at TP, SL, or a manual trendline break
🛠️ Adjustable Parameters:
Trend Period: Length for pivot detection (affects sensitivity of trendlines)
HTF Timeframe: Aligns lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe direction
SL% and TP%: Customize your risk-reward profile
Commission & Slippage: Make backtests more realistic
Trade Direction: Choose to trade: Long only, Short only, or Both
🎛️ Trade Direction Control:
In settings, you can choose: Bullish Only: Executes only long entries
Bearish Only: Executes only short entries
Both: Executes both long and short entries when conditions are met
This allows you to align trades with your own market bias or external analysis.
📈 Entry Logic: Long Entry:
• Price crosses above trendline
• HTF is bullish (HTF close > previous close)
• Latest pivot is a low (trend is considered up)
Short Entry:
• Price crosses below trendline
• HTF is bearish (HTF close < previous close)
• Latest pivot is a high (trend is considered down)
📉 Exit Logic: Hit Take Profit or Stop Loss
Manual trendline invalidation: If price crosses opposite of the trend direction
⏰ Best Timeframes & Recommended Settings:
Scalping (1m to 5m):
HTF = 15m | Trend Period = 7
SL = 0.5% | TP = 1% to 2%
Intraday (15m to 30m):
HTF = 1H | Trend Period = 10–14
SL = 0.75% | TP = 2% to 3%
6 Hour Trading (30m to 1H):
HTF = 4H | Trend Period = 20
SL = 1% | TP = 4% to 6%
Swing Trading (4H to 1D):
HTF = 1D | Trend Period = 35
SL = 2% | TP = 8% to 12%
Long-Term Investing (1D+):
HTF = 1W | Trend Period = 50
SL = 3% | TP = 15%+
Note: These are recommended base settings. Adjust based on volatility, asset class, or personal trading style.
📸 Testing Note:
beeimg.com
TradingView limits test length to 20k bars (~40 trades on smaller timeframes). To show long-term results: Test on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D)
Share images of backtest result in description
Host longer test result screenshots on Imgur or any public drive
📍 Asset Behavior Insight:
This strategy works on multiple assets, including BTC, ETH, etc.
Performance varies by trend strength:
Sometimes BTC performs better than ETH
Other times ETH gives better results
That’s normal as both assets follow different volatility and trend behavior
It’s a trend-following setup. Longer and clearer the trend → better the results.
✅ Best Practices: Avoid ranging markets
Use proper SL/TP for each timeframe
Use directional filter if you already have a directional bias
Always forward test before going live

Imbalance(FVG) DetectorImbalance (FVG) Detector
Overview
The Imbalance (FVG) Detector is a technical analysis tool designed to highlight price inefficiencies by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These gaps occur when rapid price movement leaves an area with little to no traded volume, which may later act as a zone of interest. The indicator automatically detects and marks these imbalances on the chart, allowing users to observe historical price behavior more effectively.
Key Features
- Automatic Imbalance Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish imbalances based on a structured three-bar price action model.
- Customizable Sensitivity: Users can adjust the minimum imbalance percentage threshold to tailor detection settings to different assets and market conditions.
- Real-time Visualization: Marked imbalances are displayed as colored boxes directly on the chart.
- Dynamic Box Updates: Imbalance zones extend forward in time until price interacts with them.
- Alert System: Users can set alerts for when new imbalances appear or when price tests an existing imbalance.
How It Works
The indicator identifies market imbalances using a three-bar price structure:
- Bullish Imbalance: Occurs when the high of three bars ago is lower than the low of the previous bar, forming a price gap.
- Bearish Imbalance: Occurs when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of the previous bar, creating a downward gap.
When an imbalance is detected:
- Green Boxes indicate bullish imbalances.
- Red Boxes indicate bearish imbalances.
- Once price interacts with an imbalance, the box fades to gray, marking it as tested.
! Designed for Crypto Markets
This indicator is particularly useful in crypto markets, where frequent volatility can create price inefficiencies. It provides a structured way to visualize gaps in price movement, helping users analyze historical liquidity areas.
Customization Options
- Min Imbalance Percentage Size: Adjusts the sensitivity of the imbalance detection.
- Alerts: Users can enable alerts to stay notified of new or tested imbalances.
Important Notes
- This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not provide trading signals or financial advice.
- It does not predict future price movement but highlights historical price inefficiencies.
- Always use this tool alongside other market analysis methods and risk management strategies.
MTF Fractals [RunRox]🔽 MTF Fractals is a powerful indicator designed to visualize fractals from multiple timeframes directly on your chart, highlight liquidity sweeps at these fractal levels, and provide several additional features we’ll cover in detail below.
We created this indicator because we couldn’t find a suitable tool that met our specific needs on TradingView. Therefore, we decided to develop a valuable indicator for the entire TradingView community, combining simplicity and versatility.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📙 FRACTAL FORMATION
Here’s how fractals form depending on your chosen setting (3, 5, 7, or 9):
▶️ 3-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher (for highs) or lower (for lows) than one candle on each side.
▶️ 5-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower than two candles on both sides.
▶️ 7-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower compared to the three candles on each side.
▶️ 9-bar fractal – forms similarly but requires four candles on each side, making the fractal significantly more reliable and robust.
A higher number of bars ensures stronger fractal levels, highlighting more significant potential reversal points on the chart.
Now that we’ve covered the theory behind fractal formation, let’s explore the indicator’s functionality in more detail.
Below, I’ll explain each feature clearly and illustrate how you can effectively utilize this indicator in your trading.
🕐 MULTI-TIMEFRAME FRACTALS
We realized that displaying fractals only from the current timeframe isn’t always convenient, so we’ve introduced Multi-Timeframe Fractals into this indicator.
Now you can easily display fractals from higher timeframes directly on your current chart, providing you with broader market context and clearer trading signals.
Fractals from Current Timeframe – Fractals identified directly on the chart’s current timeframe.
Fractals from Higher Timeframes – Fractals sourced from higher timeframes and displayed clearly on your current chart for enhanced market perspective.
📈 FRACTAL LINES
Since fractals represent areas of high liquidity, we’ve added an option to extend fractal levels horizontally as Fractal Lines across your chart.
This feature allows you to clearly visualize critical liquidity areas from higher timeframes, directly on your current timeframe chart, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.
With this approach, you can clearly visualize significant fractal levels from higher timeframes directly on your current chart - for example, projecting fractals from the 1-hour (1H) timeframe onto a 3-minute (3m) chart. ✅ This helps you easily identify critical liquidity areas and potential reversal zones without the need to switch between multiple timeframes.
💰 LIQUDITY SWEEP (LIQUDITY GRAB)
To enhance your trading experience, we’ve introduced a feature that clearly identifies liquidity sweeps of fractal levels.
A Liquidity Sweep occurs when a candle closes beyond a fractal line, leaving a wick that pierces through it, signaling that liquidity has been collected at this level.
Below, you’ll find two examples illustrating this functionality:
▶️ Fractal lines from the current timeframe
▶️ Fractal lines projected from higher timeframes
The first example illustrates liquidity being swept from fractals on the current timeframe .
Here, the candle clearly closes beyond the fractal line, leaving a wick through it. This indicates a liquidity sweep at the fractal level, visually highlighting a potential reversal or continuation opportunity directly on your chart.
In the second example, fractals from the higher timeframe are projected onto your current chart.
When a candle on your current timeframe closes beyond an HTF fractal line - leaving a wick through this level - the indicator highlights it clearly. This signals to traders a potential reversal zone, indicating that liquidity has been swept, and price may reverse or significantly react from this area.
You can also enable the display of additional labels on the chart. These labels clearly mark liquidity sweeps at fractal levels, making it easier to visually identify potential reversal points directly on your chart.
⚙️ SETTINGS

Market Structure Trend Targets [ChartPrime]The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator is designed to identify trend direction and continuation points by marking significant breaks in price levels. This approach helps traders track trend strength and potential reversal points. The indicator uses previous highs and lows as breakout triggers, providing a visual roadmap for trend continuation or mean reversion signals.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Breakout Points with Numbered Markers :
The indicator identifies key breakout points where price breaks above a previous high (for uptrends) or below a previous low (for downtrends). The initial breakout (zero break) is marked with the entry price and a triangle icon, while subsequent breakouts within the trend are numbered sequentially (1, 2, 3…) to indicate trend continuation.
Example of breakout markers for uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Percentage Change Display Option :
Traders can toggle on a setting to display the percentage change from the initial breakout point to each subsequent break level, offering an easy way to gauge trend momentum over time. This is particularly helpful for identifying how far price has moved in the current trend.
Percentage change example between break points:
⯌ Dynamic Stop Loss Levels :
In uptrends, the stop loss level is placed below the price to protect against downside moves. In downtrends, it is positioned above the price. If the price breaches the stop loss level, the indicator resets, indicating a potential end or reversal of the trend.
Dynamic stop loss level illustration in uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Mean Reversion Signals :
The indicator identifies potential mean reversion points with diamond icons. In an uptrend, if the price falls below the stop loss and then re-enters above it, a diamond is plotted, suggesting a possible mean reversion. Similarly, in a downtrend, if the price moves above the stop loss and then falls back below, it indicates a reversion possibility.
Mean reversion diamond signals on the chart:
⯌ Trend Visualization with Colored Zones :
The chart background is shaded to visually represent trend direction, with color changes corresponding to uptrends and downtrends. This makes it easier to see overall market conditions at a glance.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the number of bars used to identify pivot highs and lows for trend breakouts.
Display Percentage : Option to toggle between showing sequential breakout numbers or the percentage change from the initial breakout.
Colors for Uptrend and Downtrend : Allows customization of color zones for uptrends and downtrends to match individual chart preferences.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator offers a strategic way to monitor market trends, track breakouts, and manage risk through dynamic stop loss levels. Its clear visual representation of trend continuity, alongside mean reversion signals, provides traders with actionable insights for both trend-following and counter-trend strategies.
ADR/AWR/AMR Average Daily+Weekly+Monthly Range[Traders Reality]Advanced ADR/AWR/AMR indicator created for Traders Reality community, as well as the greater trading community.

If you just want the average daily range lines for example, you can just disable everything else. You can choose how many days to look back; as well as for weeks or months.
Check out Traders Reality on YouTube if you want to see this implemented as part of Tino's strategy that utilizes market manipulation, imbalances, times of day etc.
Price regularly reverses from ADR, making it one of the few highly valuable indicators in price action/smart money trading.
Smart Money Index (SMI)It came to my attention that one very common implementation of SMI was incorrect; rather than subtracting the first hour delta and adding the last hour delta it subtracts the whole day delta and adds the last 30m delta. While this indicator might have had some use, it is not what I understand to be the actual Smart Money Index and so I post this as a correction for use in other scripts.
Smart Money Index (50)Added MA50 to help interpret Smart Money Flow Index. Original SMI script by HPotter, idea of MA50 gotten from Troy Bombardia.
Smart Money Index (SMI)Smart money index (SMI) or smart money flow index is a technical analysis indicator demonstrating investors sentiment.
The index was invented and popularized by money manager Don Hays. The indicator is based on intra-day price patterns.
The main idea is that the majority of traders (emotional, news-driven) overreact at the beginning of the trading day
because of the overnight news and economic data. There is also a lot of buying on market orders and short covering at the opening.
Smart, experienced investors start trading closer to the end of the day having the opportunity to evaluate market performance.
Therefore, the basic strategy is to bet against the morning price trend and bet with the evening price trend. The SMI may be calculated
for many markets and market indices (S&P 500, DJIA, etc.)
The SMI sends no clear signal whether the market is bullish or bearish. There are also no fixed absolute or relative readings signaling
about the trend. Traders need to look at the SMI dynamics relative to that of the market. If, for example, SMI rises sharply when the
market falls, this fact would mean that smart money is buying, and the market is to revert to an uptrend soon. The opposite situation
is also true. A rapidly falling SMI during a bullish market means that smart money is selling and that market is to revert to a downtrend
soon. The SMI is, therefore, a trend-based indicator.
Some analysts use the smart money index to claim that precious metals such as gold will continually maintain value in the future.
