This is a professional-grade multi-timeframe (MTF) market analysis tool designed for data visualisation on the cTrader platform. It automates the mapping of structural zones, multi-timeframe structural directional bias, session timing, and candlestick pattern identification to deliver objective, rules-based market analysis for assets such as Gold (XAU/USD), indices, or BTC.
1. Market Data & Conditions Analysed
The tool processes live tick and historical data across multiple layers to assess structural market conditions:
- Multi-Timeframe Directional Bias: Simultaneously evaluates price relative to structural levels across four distinct horizons: Daily, 4-Hour (H4), 1-Hour (H1), and 15-Minute (M15).
- Market Structure & Value: Identifies relative discount vs. premium pricing positions by calculating the current day's midpoint (Equilibrium - EQ). It scans for market structure shifts using Swing pivots and Impulse expansions.
- Imbalance Tracking: Identifies displacement by detecting the presence of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) attached to structural imbalances.
- Volatility Tracking: Monitors the current daily range against the 14-day Average True Range (ATR) to determine statistical overextension.
- Temporal Filters: Identifies core global trading sessions through precise UTC boundaries: Asian Open, London, and New York Open.
2. Visual Elements & Analytical Interpretation
On-chart visual elements map out structural areas where price has historically interacted:
- Structural Zones: Rendered as colored boxes. Standard demand zones feature a green fill with a green border; H1 demand zones display as blue/cyan. Standard supply zones feature a red fill; H1 supply zones display as orange.
- Daily Reference Lines: PDO (Previous Daily Open) displays as a solid white line; PDC (Previous Daily Close) displays as an orange line; Daily EQ (Equilibrium) displays as a yellow line tracking the 50% retracement level of the daily range.
- Session Open Markers: Colored horizontal lines mapping out session openings (Yellow for Asian, Red for London, Green for New York).
Confluence
- Confluence Dashboard: Displays a visual matrix on the dashboard when user-defined technical criteria align simultaneously. For example, a Bullish alignment state is highlighted when price interacts with a fresh demand zone below the Daily Equilibrium while higher-timeframe structures are aligned in a positive direction.
3. Key Settings & Parameters
- Zone Detection Mode (SwingOnly, ImpulseOnly, or Both): Determines the mathematical logic used to define structural zones.
- Require FVG (True/False): When enabled, zones are only plotted if accompanied by a confirmed Fair Value Gap imbalance.
- Zone Retest Max: Defines how many times a zone can be tested before expiring from the chart. Setting this to 0 removes the zone immediately upon the first touch.
- Daily ATR Consumed % (AtrLimit): Default is 0.80 (80%). Provides a filtering mechanism if the asset has already moved beyond 80% of its average daily range, highlighting expansion exhaustion.
4. Technical Workflow Example
When monitoring a chart during market openings, the tool processes data to display concurrent technical factors. If the higher-timeframe matrix indicates a bullish structural alignment, and price subsequently moves below the Daily Equilibrium line into an H1 demand zone, the interface plots a PIN label and updates the dashboard status. This provides the user with an organised, visual summary of the pre-configured rulesets directly on the interface.
5. Target User Profile
- Experience Level: Intermediate to Advanced.
- Analytical Style: System-based analysis, multi-timeframe structural mapping, and session volume tracking.
- Strategic Compatibility: Designed for practitioners of systematic price action models, structural supply/demand frameworks, or multi-timeframe correlation models.
6. Limitations & Usage Notes
- Timeframe Visibility Matrix: Features a built-in visibility filter to maintain chart clarity. Lower-timeframe zones and micro-patterns are restricted to execution views (M1 through M15). Session lines automatically hide above the M30 view, and H1 zones hide above the H1 view.
- Fixed UTC Session Clocks: Session boundary tracking is mapped directly to fixed UTC hours (Asian: 00:00-07:00, London: 07:00-16:00, NY: 12:00-21:00). Settings may require manual adjustment if broker server times diverge from standard UTC.
- Automated Retest Pruning: With
ZoneRetestMax = 0, a minor liquidity wick will remove the zone definition from the display screen. Users should calibrate this setting based on their preference for immediate touches versus sustained mitigation blocks.
