Market Structure v1.3
Swing highs and lows labelled HH, HL, LH and LL, with the level
that has to hold drawn and extended until it breaks. A break in the direction of the
trend is a Break of Structure; the first break against it is a Change of Character, and
only the first — every break after that one is a BOS again. Most tools that print
CHoCH print it on every leg, which tells you about direction and nothing about
character.
It is exposed to strategies as a regime filter rather than an entry
signal, because by its own definition it arrives after the turn has started. Use it to
refuse trades against structure, not to take them.

level extended to the break bar.
Order Blocks v2.9
An order block here is a two-candle pattern: a small consolidation
candle followed by a large expansive one. Defining it structurally means the zone comes
from the pattern rather than from where you happened to draw the box, and two traders
running it on the same chart see the same blocks.

Two or three marked blocks where price later returned to the zone.
Fair Value Gaps v1.0
Three-candle imbalances: the gap left when the middle candle's
range clears the wick of the candle before and the candle after. The minimum size is
measured against a volatility yardstick rather than a fixed tick count, so the same
setting means the same thing on NQ as on CL and the gaps too small to matter are never
drawn in the first place.

Several gaps marked, with one that price has returned to fill.
Po3 v2.0
ICT Power of Three mapped onto the session: the opening-range
accumulation, the Judas sweep that traps one side, and the expansion that follows. The
three phases are drawn as they complete, so you can see which one the session is in.

One clean session showing all three phases, accumulation
through expansion.
Swing Zones v1.10
Swing highs and lows clustered into support and resistance zones
scaled by ATR, so a zone is as wide as the instrument's current volatility rather than a
fixed number of ticks. Every edge sits on a price the market actually traded, not on an
average of several.

Overlapping zones with price reacting at an edge.
Swing Bubbles v1.1
A bubble on every confirmed swing high and low, drawn at a fixed
pixel radius so it stays round at any zoom. One dial decides how many you get, and it is
read in minutes rather than bars, so the same density carries from a 1 minute chart to a
15 minute one without being retuned.
Swings too recent to have been confirmed are drawn faint. That is
the candidate so far, not a swing, and the fill is what tells you which you are looking
at.

Trend Lines v1.15
Diagonals found automatically from confirmed swing pivots, then
validated against every bar between their two anchors. A line that price has already cut
through is not drawn, which is the difference between a trend line and a line that
happens to touch two highs.

Several lines at once, so the point that they are found rather
than drawn lands.
Volume Profile Runway v1.1
How many points of clear air sit between price and the next
high-volume node. The profile is read as a runway rather than looked at as a picture:
where the next brake is, and how far away it is, which is the question an open position
actually has to answer.

node.
Entropy v1.0
Permutation entropy and efficiency ratio side by side: one measures
how disordered the sequence of closes is, the other how much of the distance travelled
actually went somewhere. High entropy with low efficiency is chop wearing a trend's
clothes.
This is an instrument for reading the regime, not a signal. It
tells you what kind of market you are in, so you know whether to trust the rest of your
chart or ignore it.
