Internal Market StructureInternal Market Structure Indicator (Based on Bearish/Bullish Candle Patterns)
This custom market structure indicator is designed to help traders identify key shifts in market pressure based on bullish and bearish candle patterns. The indicator tracks consecutive bullish and bearish candles and identifies significant points where the price action suggests a potential reversal or continuation of the current market trend.
Key Features:
1. Bullish & Bearish Candle Recognition: The indicator monitors individual candles to determine if they are bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open), and uses this information to track price direction over consecutive candles.
2. Consecutive Candle Tracking: It tracks consecutive bullish and bearish candles, giving insight into the strength of the prevailing trend. The number of consecutive candles can be adjusted to refine the analysis based on market conditions.
3. Engulfing Candle Detection: The indicator identifies Bullish and Bearish Engulfing signals when a reversal pattern is detected. These are plotted as triangle shapes on the chart:
-Bullish Engulfing: Indicates a potential reversal or continuation of an upward move, where a bullish candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle.
-Bearish Engulfing: Indicates a potential reversal or continuation of a downward move, where a bearish candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle.
4. Internal Shifts: The indicator also tracks Internal Shifts, which occur when the price closes beyond the highest or lowest levels of previous bullish or bearish sequences, signaling a potential trend change:
-Bullish Internal Shift: A shift indicating the market may be turning bullish.
-Bearish Internal Shift: A shift indicating the market may be turning bearish.
5. Alerts: Custom alerts are included to notify traders when any of the above conditions are met:
-Bullish Pressure Change Alert
-Bearish Pressure Change Alert
-Bullish Internal Shift Alert
-Bearish Internal Shift Alert
Plotting:
The indicator visually marks these key price levels with shapes on the chart:
-Green Triangle Up: Bullish Engulfment
-Red Triangle Down: Bearish Engulfment
-Blue Triangle Down: Bearish Internal Shift
-Orange Triangle Up: Bullish Internal Shift
Usage:
This indicator can be used to spot potential reversals, continuation patterns, and shifts in market sentiment. Traders can combine these signals with other technical indicators to form a more robust trading strategy.
By focusing on candle patterns and market structure, this indicator offers a clear, actionable framework for understanding market behavior and making more informed trading decisions.
*NOTE*
The polyline and horizontal trend lines drawn are not included in this indicator, but are there to show how this indicator can be used to illustrate the internal market structure of the given timeframe.

Trapped Traders Order BlocksHow It Works
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator identifies specific price action patterns that suggest large market participants ("big money") have been trapped in losing positions after significant price sweeps, creating potential opportunities for reversals. The indicator detects both "bullish trap blocks" (where bearish traders are trapped) and "bearish trap blocks" (where bullish traders are trapped). Here’s the step-by-step process for each:
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A bearish candle (Candle A) must sweep the high of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its high exceeds the high of the prior candle.
This bearish candle must have a longer upper wick than its lower wick, indicating rejection of higher prices.
The candle must not be a doji (i.e., it must have a significant body, defined as the body being at least 10% of the candle's range).
The next candle (Candle C) must close above the body of the bearish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bearish sweep, potentially trapping bearish traders who entered short positions expecting a downward move.
The body of the bearish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bullish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bullish Trap") is placed below it.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A bullish candle (Candle A) must sweep the low of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its low is below the low of the prior candle.
This bullish candle must have a longer lower wick than its upper wick, indicating rejection of lower prices.
The candle must not be a doji.
The next candle (Candle C) must close below the body of the bullish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bullish sweep, potentially trapping bullish traders who entered long positions expecting an upward move.
The body of the bullish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bearish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bearish Trap") is placed above it.
Dynamic Box Extension:
For both bullish and bearish trap blocks, the box extends dynamically to the current bar unless it exceeds a user-defined age (default is 52 bars), at which point it stops at the maximum age.
Sweep Detection:
Bullish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is above the top of the box.
The low is below the top of the box.
The close is above the top of the box.
The lower wick is longer than the upper wick (indicating rejection of lower prices).
The close is above 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bullish bias).
When a bullish sweep occurs, a label ("Bullish Sweep") is placed at the low of the candle, pointing upward, and an alert is triggered.
Bearish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is below the bottom of the box.
The high is above the bottom of the box.
The close is below the bottom of the box.
The upper wick is longer than the lower wick (indicating rejection of higher prices).
The close is below 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bearish bias).
When a bearish sweep occurs, a label ("Bearish Sweep") is placed at the high of the candle, pointing downward, and an alert is triggered.
When to Be Used
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is best used in the following scenarios:
Reversal Trading:
Use this indicator to identify potential reversal points in the market. Bullish trap blocks suggest that trapped bears may unwind their short positions, leading to a potential bullish move. Bearish trap blocks suggest that trapped bulls may unwind their long positions, leading to a potential bearish move.
Look for sweeps of these blocks as confirmation of a directional move. A bullish sweep indicates a potential upward move, while a bearish sweep indicates a potential downward move.
Range-Bound Markets:
In sideways or ranging markets, trapped blocks can highlight key levels where large players have been caught off-guard. These levels often act as support or resistance, and a sweep of the block can signal a breakout or continuation in the direction of the sweep.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
Combine the trapped blocks with other technical analysis tools, such as support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis, to increase the probability of a successful trade. For example, a bullish trap block near a strong support level with a bullish sweep can provide a high-probability setup for a long position, while a bearish trap block near a strong resistance level with a bearish sweep can signal a short opportunity.
Timeframes:
The indicator is most effective on higher timeframes such as 1-day (1D), 1-week (1W), and 1-month (1M) charts. These timeframes are more likely to capture significant moves involving large market participants, reducing noise and false signals compared to lower timeframes. While it can be used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), the signals may be less reliable due to increased market noise.
Logic Behind It
The logic behind the Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is rooted in market psychology and the behavior of large market participants ("big money"). When a large sweep candle occurs where price spikes in one direction but then quickly reverses it often indicates that traders have entered positions in the direction of the sweep, expecting a continuation. However, if the price immediately moves against them, these traders are now trapped in losing positions.
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A large bearish sweep candle (spiking upward but closing lower) suggests that bearish traders (bears) have entered short positions at the top of the move, expecting a downward continuation. If the next candle closes above the bearish candle's body, these bears are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bearish candle becomes a "bullish trap block" because the trapped bears are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just above the high of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by buying back their shorts, which can drive the price higher. This unwinding process often attracts new buyers, leading to a potential bullish reversal or continuation.
The bullish sweep conditions (e.g., close > box top, longer lower wick, and close above 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bullish momentum and rejection of lower prices, confirming the potential for a move higher.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A large bullish sweep candle (spiking downward but closing higher) suggests that bullish traders (bulls) have entered long positions at the bottom of the move, expecting an upward continuation. If the next candle closes below the bullish candle's body, these bulls are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bullish candle becomes a "bearish trap block" because the trapped bulls are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just below the low of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by selling their longs, which can drive the price lower. This unwinding process often attracts new sellers, leading to a potential bearish reversal or continuation.
The bearish sweep conditions (e.g., close < box bottom, longer upper wick, and close below 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bearish momentum and rejection of higher prices, confirming the potential for a move lower.
Summary
Bullish Trap Block: Occurs when bears get trapped after a bearish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bullish candle, indicating a potential reversal as trapped bears may unwind their positions.
Bearish Trap Block: Occurs when bulls get trapped after a bullish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bearish candle, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
Use Case: Ideal for identifying reversal opportunities, especially in range-bound markets or at key support/resistance levels on higher timeframes like 1D, 1W, and 1M, and can be combined with other indicators for confluence.
Logic: Large sweep candles followed by an immediate reversal suggest that big money has been trapped, and these traders may unwind their positions at break-even in the near future, driving price in the opposite direction of their initial trade.
This indicator provides a visual and actionable way to identify these trapped trader scenarios, with customizable settings for box display, sweep visuals, and alerts to help traders capitalize on these opportunities, particularly on higher timeframes where the signals are most reliable.

Combined Support & Resistance IndicatorsPivot Points Calculation:
The script calculates the Pivot Point as the average of the high price (high), low price (low), and closing price (close) of the current bar.
The Pivot Point is plotted on the chart as a red line.
Support and Resistance Levels:
The Support Level is calculated as the lowest price over the last lookback bars.
The Resistance Level is calculated as the highest price over the last lookback bars.
These levels are displayed on the chart using horizontal lines: green for support and red for resistance.
Momentum Indicators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): A momentum oscillator calculated based on the closing price over the last 14 bars. It is plotted as a yellow line.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): An indicator consisting of the MACD line (blue) and the signal line (orange). It is calculated based on the closing price.
Moving Averages:
SMA 20: A simple moving average over the last 20 bars. It is plotted as a green line.
SMA 50: A simple moving average over the last 50 bars. It is plotted as a red line.
Dynamic Levels Drawing:
Instead of using hline (which does not support dynamic values), the script uses line.new to draw dynamic support and resistance levels. These lines are updated on each bar.
BCVC - Volume & Big Candle ColorThe BCVC (Volume & Big Candle Color) indicator helps traders identify significant price movements accompanied by unusual volume activity. By dynamically coloring bars based on volume spikes and candle size, it highlights potential momentum shifts, breakouts, or reversals. This tool is ideal for traders who want to:
Spot institutional buying/selling activity.
Confirm trend strength using volume and price volatility.
Filter noise by focusing on high-impact bars.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection:
Compares current volume to a moving average (EMA) of volume.
Highlights bars where volume exceeds the average by a user-defined multiplier.
Big Candle Detection:
Identifies bars with a range (high-low) larger than the historical average range (EMA of candle ranges).
Thresholds for "big candles" are customizable.
Color-Coded Logic:
White Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bullish (close > open).
Orange Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bearish (close < open).
Blue Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bullish.
Maroon Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bearish.
Input Parameters
Volume Settings:
Volume Period: EMA length for average volume calculation (default: 20).
Volume Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for volume spikes (e.g., 1.25 = 25% above average).
Candle Size Settings:
Lookback Period: EMA length for average candle range (default: 7).
Big Candle Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for large candles (e.g., 1.3 = 30% above average range).
How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates an EMA of volume over the specified period.
If the current bar’s volume exceeds Average Volume × Volume Multiplier, it’s flagged as a high-volume bar.
Candle Range Analysis:
The average candle range (high-low) is calculated using an EMA over the lookback period.
A "big candle" is identified when the current bar’s range exceeds Average Range × Big Candle Multiplier.
Combined Signals:
High-volume bars are colored based on whether they are bullish/bearish and whether their range exceeds the big-candle threshold.
Example: A white bar (high volume + big candle + bullish) suggests strong buying pressure with institutional participation.
Usage Scenarios
Breakout Confirmation: A white/orange bar at a support/resistance level may validate a breakout.
Reversal Signals: A maroon/orange bar after a long trend could indicate exhaustion and potential reversal.
Trend Strength: Clusters of blue/white bars during uptrends (or maroon/orange in downtrends) confirm momentum.
Benefits
Visual Clarity: Instantly spot high-impact bars without manually scanning volume or candle size.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust multipliers to filter noise (e.g., increase for fewer signals).
Universal Application: Works on all timeframes and instruments (stocks, forex, crypto).
Notes
Best Paired With: Trendlines, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI).
Avoid False Signals: Use higher multipliers (e.g., 1.5) on lower timeframes to reduce noise.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an imbalance in price action that occurs when there is a strong displacement (big movement) in the market, leaving a gap between wicks. This gap represents an area where price moved too quickly, and liquidity was not fully filled.
Traders use FVGs as potential areas where price might retrace and react before continuing in the original direction.
7 Inside Bars with Full Range Box (15m)his indicator detects periods of extreme price compression by identifying 7 consecutive inside bars on the 15-minute timeframe. An inside bar is a candle that forms within the high and low of the previous candle. When 7 such bars occur in a row, it's a strong signal of market indecision and potential breakout.
What it does:
Detects if the last 7 candles are all inside the range of the 8th candle (the outer bar).
Highlights the consolidation zone by drawing a fuchsia-colored box from the high to low of the outer candle.
Marks the final candle in the sequence with a small "7IN" label below the bar.
This setup can help traders spot high-probability breakout zones and prepare for potential volatility after extended consolidation.
🔍 Best Used For:
Breakout trading
Volatility expansion strategies
Trade setups following tight consolidation

fractal candle The fractal candle technical indicator to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets. It works by counting a series of price bars and looking for specific patterns that indicate when a trend is likely to reverse.
How the Indicator Works:
Counting Candles:
The indicator compares the closing price of the current candle with the closing price from 4 candles ago.
If the current close is higher, the bullish (buy) count increases.
If the current close is lower, the bearish (sell) count increases.
When a count reaches 9 or 13, it may signal a trend reversal.
Buy and Sell Setup:
A buy setup occurs when there have been 9 consecutive candles where each close is lower than the close 4 candles before. This suggests a possible bullish reversal.
A sell setup occurs when there have been 9 consecutive candles where each close is higher than the close 4 candles before. This suggests a possible bearish reversal.
Support and Resistance Levels:
The indicator tracks previous highs and lows during buy/sell setups to identify potential support and resistance levels.
These levels can help traders decide where price might reverse or consolidate.
Candle Coloring for Visual Aid:
The script changes candle colors:
Red for sell signals 📉
Green for buy signals 📈
Different shades for overshoot conditions (extended trends)
ETH/USDT EMA Crossover Strategy - OptimizedStrategy Name: EMA Crossover Strategy for ETH/USDT
Description:
This trading strategy is designed for the ETH/USDT pair and is based on exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers combined with momentum and volatility indicators. The strategy uses multiple filters to identify high-probability signals in both bullish and bearish trends, making it suitable for traders looking to trade in trending markets.
Strategy Components
EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages):
EMA 200: Used to identify the primary trend. If the price is above the EMA 200, it is considered a bullish trend; if below, a bearish trend.
EMA 50: Acts as an additional filter to confirm the trend.
EMA 20 and EMA 50 Short: These short-term EMAs generate entry signals through crossovers. A bullish crossover (EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50 Short) is a buy signal, while a bearish crossover (EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50 Short) is a sell signal.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is used to avoid overbought or oversold conditions. Long trades are only taken when the RSI is above 30, and short trades when the RSI is below 70.
ATR (Average True Range):
The ATR is used as a volatility filter. Trades are only taken when there is sufficient volatility, helping to avoid false signals in quiet markets.
Volume:
A volume filter is used to confirm sufficient market participation in the price movement. Trades are only taken when volume is above average.
Strategy Logic
Long Trades:
The price must be above the EMA 200 (bullish trend).
The EMA 20 must cross above the EMA 50 Short.
The RSI must be above 30.
The ATR must indicate sufficient volatility.
Volume must be above average.
Short Trades:
The price must be below the EMA 200 (bearish trend).
The EMA 20 must cross below the EMA 50 Short.
The RSI must be below 70.
The ATR must indicate sufficient volatility.
Volume must be above average.
How to Use the Strategy
Setup:
Add the script to your ETH/USDT chart on TradingView.
Adjust the parameters according to your preferences (e.g., EMA periods, RSI, ATR, etc.).
Signals:
Buy and sell signals will be displayed directly on the chart.
Long trades are indicated with an upward arrow, and short trades with a downward arrow.
Risk Management:
Use stop-loss and take-profit orders in all trades.
Consider a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Backtesting:
Test the strategy on historical data to evaluate its performance before using it live.
Advantages of the Strategy
Trend-focused: The strategy is designed to trade in trending markets, increasing the probability of success.
Multiple filters: The use of RSI, ATR, and volume reduces false signals.
Adaptability: It can be adjusted for different timeframes, although it is recommended to test it on 5-minute and 15-minute charts for ETH/USDT.
Warnings
Sideways markets: The strategy may generate false signals in markets without a clear trend. It is recommended to avoid trading in such conditions.
Optimization: Make sure to optimize the parameters according to the market and timeframe you are using.
Risk management: Never trade without stop-loss and take-profit orders.

Intraday Low Engulf Line This indicator currently work on Future product as it track the intraday low for the daily session from 6pm to 5pm EST. You may have to manually adjust the code if there is a time difference, or day light saving.
This indicator will track all new intraday low through out the session. Once a new intraday low is made, the indicator will display the high of that candle as an engulf target.
If the next candle making a intraday low, this engulf target will be updated. Until there is no more intraday low is made, we will see a engulf target line which is the high of the candle that make the most recent intraday low.
If there is any candle body is below the intraday low engulf life, you can expect to place a buy stop order to trade the bullish reversal.
You may want to use 5m or 15m, or 30M timeframe to reduce the noise of this indicator.
Your stop loss will be set at the intraday low. Therefore a higher time frame 5m is better for entry, however 1m timeframe will give you the best reward.
The idea is that Indraday low engulf line can be a target for bullish reversal or a bullish retest.
Another way to use this this intraday low engulf line is to treat it as a support. If the support break, the trend can be bearish too.
You have to develop your own price action strategy how to trade this.
I will also add an intraday High engulf indicator later.

ALMA 20, 50, 200The ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) crossover strategy uses two ALMA lines (fast and slow) to generate buy/sell signals, aiming to reduce lag and noise compared to traditional moving averages, and is often combined with volume filters for improved accuracy.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
The ALMA indicator is a moving average (MA) variant designed to reduce lag and improve responsiveness while maintaining a smooth curve, using a Gaussian filter.
How it works:
ALMA calculates two moving averages, one from left to right and one from right to left, and then processes the output through a customizable formula for increased smoothness or responsiveness.
Crossover Strategy:
A common ALMA strategy involves using two ALMA lines with different lengths (fast and slow). A buy signal is generated when the fast ALMA crosses above the slow ALMA, and a sell signal when the fast ALMA crosses below the slow ALMA.
Benefits:
ALMA offers advantages like reduced lag, smoothness, and filtering capabilities, making it useful for identifying trends and potential reversals.
Potential Risks:
Like any indicator, ALMA can produce false signals, so it's crucial to combine it with other indicators and analyze price action.
Parameters:
ALMA has parameters like "Length" (number of periods), "Sigma" (filter's range, affecting responsiveness), and "Offset" (for accessing data of different candles).
Other uses:
ALMA can also be used for trend identification, dynamic support and resistance, and combined with other indicators to enhance trading strategies.
Big Candles FilterHow It Works
A candle is considered "big" only if its body (distance from open to close) exceeds the barHeight value.
** NOT calculated by Range !!!
Features :
Bullish candles (close > open) are marked with a green "Buy" triangle if the body is large enough.
Bearish candles (close < open) are marked with a red "Sell" triangle if the body is large enough.
The bars are colored for big candles, and optional labels show the open and close prices.
Dynamic Candle Range Point IndicatorThe "Dynamic Candle Range Point Indicator" (DCRPI) does two important jobs at once. For each candle on your chart, it shows you exactly how many points the price moved in two different ways:
1. At the top of each candle, you'll see how many points the price moved from open to close (the body range)
2. At the bottom, you'll see the total movement from the highest to lowest point (the full range)
The really smart part is how it colors the borders of candles based on how much the price moved. This gives you a quick visual way to spot significant price movements:
- Small movements keep the standard green/red colors
- Medium movements (25-30 points) show as yellow
- Larger movements get more unique colors (orange, purple, blue, etc.)
This makes it easy to instantly identify which candles had the most significant price movement without having to read all the numbers. You can quickly spot the most volatile candles across your chart by their distinctive border colors.
The indicator is lightweight and should run smoothly on most charts without causing performance issues.
RSI Disparity SignalRSI Disparity Signal Indicator
Overview:
This TradingView indicator detects when the RSI is significantly lower than its RSI-based moving average (RSI MA). Whenever the RSI is 20 points or more below the RSI MA, a signal (red dot) appears above the corresponding candlestick.
How It Works:
Calculates RSI using the default 14-period setting.
Calculates the RSI-based Moving Average (RSI MA) using a 14-period simple moving average (SMA).
Measures the disparity between the RSI and its MA.
Generates a signal when the RSI is 20 points or more below the RSI MA.
Plots a red circle above the candlestick whenever this condition is met.
Customization:
You can modify the RSI length and MA period to fit your trading strategy.
Change the plotshape() style to use different symbols like triangles or arrows.
Adjust the disparity threshold (currently set at 20) to make the signal more or less sensitive.
Use Case:
This indicator can help identify potentially oversold conditions where RSI is significantly below its average, signaling possible price reversals.

Quarterly Theory ICT 03 [TradingFinder] Precision Swing Points🔵 Introduction
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a divergence pattern in the closing of candles between two correlated assets, which can indicate a potential trend reversal. This structure appears at market turning points and highlights discrepancies between the price behavior of two related assets.
PSP typically forms in key timeframes such as 5-minute, 15-minute, and 90-minute charts, and is often used in combination with Smart Money Concepts (SMT) to confirm trade entries.
PSP is categorized into Bearish PSP and Bullish PSP :
Bearish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous high, and its middle candle closes bullish, while the correlated asset closes bearish at the same level. This divergence signals weakness in the uptrend and a potential price reversal downward.
Bullish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous low, and its middle candle closes bearish, while the correlated asset closes bullish at the same level. This suggests weakness in the downtrend and a potential price increase.
🟣 Trading Strategies Using Precision Swing Point (PSP)
PSP can be integrated into various trading strategies to improve entry accuracy and filter out false signals. One common method is combining PSP with SMT (divergence between correlated assets), where traders identify divergence and enter a trade only after PSP confirms the move.
Additionally, PSP can act as a liquidity gap, meaning that price tends to react to the wick of the PSP candle, making it a favorable entry point with a tight stop-loss and high risk-to-reward ratio. Furthermore, PSP combined with Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps in higher timeframes allows traders to identify stronger reversal zones.
In lower timeframes, such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts, PSP can serve as a confirmation for more precise entries in the direction of the higher timeframe trend. This is particularly useful in scalping and intraday trading, helping traders execute smarter entries while minimizing unnecessary stop-outs.
🔵 How to Use
PSP is a trading pattern based on divergence in candle closures between two correlated assets. This divergence signals a difference in trend strength and can be used to identify precise market turning points. PSP is divided into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each applicable for long and short trades.
🟣 Bullish PSP
A Bullish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bearish while the correlated asset closes bullish. This discrepancy indicates weakness in the downtrend and a potential price reversal upward.
Traders can use this as a signal for long (buy) trades. The best approach is to wait for price to return to the wick of the PSP candle, as this area typically acts as a liquidity level.
f PSP forms within an Order Block or Fair Value Gap in a higher timeframe, its reliability increases, allowing for entries with tight stop-loss and optimal risk-to-reward ratios.
🟣 Bearish PSP
A Bearish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bullish while the correlated asset closes bearish. This indicates weakness in the uptrend and a potential price decline.
Traders use this pattern to enter short (sell) trades. The best entry occurs when price retests the wick of the PSP candle, as this level often acts as a resistance zone, pushing price lower.
If PSP aligns with a significant liquidity area or Order Block in a higher timeframe, traders can enter with greater confidence and place their stop-loss just above the PSP wick.
Overall, PSP is a highly effective tool for filtering false signals and improving trade entry precision. Combining PSP with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes allows traders to execute higher-accuracy trades with lower risk.
🔵 Settings
Mode :
2 Symbol : Identifies PSP and PCP between two correlated assets.
3 Symbol : Compares three assets to detect more complex divergences and stronger confirmation signals.
Second Symbol : The second asset used in PSP and correlation calculations.
Third Symbol : Used in three-symbol mode for deeper PSP and PCP analysis.
Filter Precision X Point : Enables or disables filtering for more precise PSP and PCP detection. This filter only identifies PSP and PCP when the base asset's candle qualifies as a Pin Bar.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
🔵 Conclusion
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a powerful analytical tool in Smart Money trading strategies, helping traders identify precise market turning points by detecting divergences in candle closures between correlated assets. PSP is classified into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each playing a crucial role in detecting trend weaknesses and determining optimal entry points for long and short trades.
Using the PSP wick as a key liquidity level, integrating it with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps, and analyzing higher timeframes are effective techniques to enhance trade entries. Ultimately, PSP serves as a complementary tool for improving entry accuracy and reducing unnecessary stop-outs, making it a valuable addition to Smart Money trading methodologies.
Gold Scalping BOS & CHoCHThis strategy is designed for scalping gold (XAU/USD) on the 3-minute timeframe, utilizing Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) to identify high-probability trade setups. Unlike traditional SMA crossover strategies, this method focuses purely on price action and market structure shifts, allowing for early entries and better risk management.
Core Concepts:
Break of Structure (BOS) – Confirms a continuation of the trend when price breaks the last swing high (bullish) or last swing low (bearish).
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Detects possible trend reversals by identifying a shift in market momentum.
Dynamic Support & Resistance – Uses the last 10-bar highs and lows to determine adaptive stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio (1:2 RR) – Ensures trades are executed with a favorable risk/reward ratio.
Entry Conditions:
Buy Entry:
BOS (Bullish) confirmed (price breaks the previous swing high).
CHoCH (Bullish) confirms trend shift.
Price crosses back above the last swing low (confirmation of support).
Sell Entry:
BOS (Bearish) confirmed (price breaks the previous swing low).
CHoCH (Bearish) confirms trend shift.
Price crosses back below the last swing high (confirmation of resistance).
Exit Conditions:
Stop Loss (SL): Set at the most recent dynamic support (for buys) or resistance (for sells).
Take Profit (TP): 2x the risk (1:2 risk-reward ratio).
Advantages of This Strategy:
✅ No lagging indicators – Uses price action for real-time entries.
✅ High probability setups – Focuses only on strong structural breaks.
✅ Adaptive SL/TP – Uses real market structure instead of fixed values.
✅ Optimized for Scalping – Best suited for quick in-and-out trades.
Best Time to Trade:

Grease Trap V1.0The Grease Trap V1.0 indicator is a dynamic, Fibonacci-based strategy that calculates unique moving averages to generate trading signals. Below is an overview of its main components and functionality:
How It Works
Fibonacci Grouped Averages:
Dynamic Fibonacci Sequence:
The indicator uses a custom function that dynamically builds a Fibonacci sequence. The user can set the number of Fibonacci elements for two separate calculations:
One for the Indicator Average (default: 9 elements).
One for the Base Average (default: 14 elements).
Grouped Averaging:
Using these Fibonacci numbers, the script groups historical closing prices into segments. For each group (with a length determined by a Fibonacci number), it computes an average. These individual group averages are then averaged together to produce a single dynamic average.
Plotting and Visual Cues:
Two Lines:
The indicator plots two lines on the chart:
Primary Dynamic Fibonacci Grouped Average
Base Dynamic Fibonacci Grouped Average
Color Coding:
The colors of these lines change based on their relationship to the current high price and to each other. For example, if the primary average is above the high or crosses above the base average, it might be shown in green or yellow, whereas certain conditions trigger red, signaling caution.
Crossover Dots:
When the primary average crosses above the base (a bullish signal), a green dot is plotted. Conversely, when it crosses below (a bearish signal), a red dot is displayed. These dots help visually pinpoint the moments of potential trade entry or exit.
Trading Signals and Orders:
Buy Signal:
Triggered when the primary average crosses above the base average. On a buy signal:
If in a short position, it closes that position.
Then, it enters a long position.
Sell Signal:
Triggered when the primary average crosses below the base average. On a sell signal:
If in a long position, it closes that position.
Then, it enters a short position.
Profit Target Management:
The indicator includes automated profit management:
For long positions, it sets an exit order when the price rises by a user-defined percentage (default: 2%).
For short positions, it sets an exit order when the price falls by a similar percentage.
Alerts:
The script is equipped with alert conditions. Traders receive notifications whenever a buy or sell signal is generated, helping them stay on top of potential trading opportunities.
Customization
User Inputs:
Traders can adjust:
The number of Fibonacci elements for each average calculation.
Profit target percentages for both long and short positions.
Data Length Requirement:
The script ensures it uses at least 200 data points (or the total number of available bars, whichever is greater) for a robust calculation of the averages.
In Summary
The Grease Trap V1.0 indicator combines the mathematical elegance of Fibonacci sequences with dynamic grouped averaging. It offers:
Innovative Moving Averages: Based on Fibonacci groupings of historical price data.
Clear Visual Cues: Through color-coded lines and crossover dots.
Automated Trading Actions: With built-in order management and profit targets.
Alert Notifications: So traders are instantly aware of key market signals.
This makes the Grease Trap V1.0 a comprehensive tool for both signal generation and automated strategy execution, suitable for traders looking to integrate Fibonacci principles into their trading systems.
