Trade Model

The whole picture in one window

Trade Model Indicator

You stay on one timeframe — whichever suits you — and read the picture from all the others on it: higher-timeframe direction and imbalances, lower-timeframe structure breaks and untested order-flow zones. No chart switching — and no way to keep track of all that by eye. You can get an idea as soon as point A appears, and the trade decision stays yours.

One window

One working chart — the picture from every timeframe

What the frame shows: an impulse from the swing high to the swing low, order-flow zones and imbalances along the way, a pullback up to point A at the end. All on a single EURUSD weekly chart. The numbers were added by us — the indicator does not draw them.

The EURUSD weekly chart with Trade Model markup: at the top of the pullback up, the orange Point A · IFC + choch 1h label over the IFC block candle in its frame, to the right the purple choch 1h and choch 4h break labels; the LH swing high and the LL swing low joined by the blue impulse line, OF ★ and OF ★★ order-flow zones, grey M FVG monthly imbalances, pink 1M monthly-swing tags; across the frame the grey 50% · premium / discount dashed line drawn in TradingView; the 1W, 1M and 3M direction panel reading SHORT, range statistics in the bottom right corner; numbers 1 to 7 added to the frame mark those elements in the order of the list below
  • 1The direction panel: 1W, 1M and 3M, all reading SHORT.
  • 2The structure: the LH swing high and the LL swing low, the blue impulse line, the orange dashed pullback up.
  • 3Higher-timeframe swings — Show HTF swings: a pink 1M tag is a strong swing of the monthly chart.
  • 4Order-flow zones, with stars from Show zone strength: OF ★ and OF ★★.
  • 5M FVG monthly imbalances — grey: price has already been through them.
  • 6Lower-timeframe breaks: the solid choch 1h has happened, the dashed choch 4h is taking shape.
  • 7Point A — the Point A · IFC + choch 1h label placed by Show IFC blocks.
The working timeframe stays a single one — everything else the indicator pulls onto that same chart by itself. The 50% · premium / discount dashed line was drawn in TradingView: the indicator does not draw it.

Step by step

How an idea comes together

The walkthrough follows the order a chart is actually read in, and every markup element is explained where it is needed. Steps 1 to 3 are one situation on EURUSD: the weekly chart first, then the same episode on the hourly one. Step 4 is a recent example on the EURUSD hourly chart, September to October 2026.

Close-up of the EURUSD weekly chart, 2021–2022: order-flow zones labelled OF ★ and OF ★★ with purple order blocks inside them, grey monthly imbalances labelled M FVG, a pink 1M monthly-swing tag above a highlighted wick, the blue impulse line down to the LL swing low and the start of the orange dashed pullback; the 1W, 1M and 3M direction panel reading SHORT, range statistics in the bottom-right corner

The EURUSD weekly chart up close, the order-flow zones of 2021–2022. Point A and the breaks are not on this frame — they come in step 3.

Step 1

The context: the range and the order-flow zones

On the EURUSD weekly chart the impulse runs down to the LL swing low, and the 1W, 1M and 3M panel reads SHORT. Show zone strength gives order-flow zones zero to two stars, and Show order blocks marks the untested order blocks inside them — the purple rectangles. Show HTF swings tags higher-timeframe swings: a pink 1M tag is a strong swing of the monthly chart as well.

EURUSD hourly chart, 11 July to 1 August 2023: green HH and HL labels of a rising structure, the blue impulse line up to a red LH label at the 18 July high, then a drop to a red LL label below the HL; along the way OF ★ order-flow zones, 4h FVG and D FVG imbalances, 4h and 4h+1d higher-timeframe swing tags, and a dashed choch 1m break at the right edge; direction panel: 1H SHORT, 4H and 1D LONG, range statistics in the bottom-right corner

The same episode on the EURUSD hourly chart, 11 July to 1 August 2023. The panel already reads SHORT for 1H, while 4H and 1D still read LONG: the lower timeframe turned first.

Step 2

The confirmation: the hourly structure breaks

The same episode on the hourly chart: the LH high of 18 July is the top of the weekly pullback. The drop went below the HL, and the labels turned from green HH and HL to red LH and LL — the hourly structure broke down. On the weekly chart the indicator labels this break choch 1h.

Close-up of point A on the same weekly chart: an orange Point A · IFC + choch 1h label, under it the IFC block candle in an orange frame at the top of the orange dashed pullback; to the right purple choch 1h and choch 4h labels at a solid and a dashed line; the grey dashed middle of the range; at the bottom left the LL swing low and the edge of an order-flow zone

Point A up close: the IFC block candle in its frame, the break levels on the right. The grey dashed line is the middle of the range, drawn in TradingView; level B is not calculated by the indicator and is not a recommendation.

Step 3

The idea comes together

The indicator placed point A itself: Show IFC blocks marked the high of the weekly candle of 17 July 2023, with the Point A · IFC + choch 1h label. On the right are the break levels: the solid choch 1h line — the break has happened, the dashed choch 4h — it is only taking shape. The second way to place A is Track imbalance test reaction; both functions are off by default, and without them A, like B at the LL swing low, is the trader's to place.

EURUSD hourly chart, 11 September to 16 October 2026: a series of descending ranges — pairs of red LH and LL labels joined by the blue impulse line; at the right edge price drops below the last LL, turns up from an OF ★ order-flow zone with a green HL label and rises above the last LH; direction panel: 1H LONG, 4H and 1D SHORT, range statistics in the bottom-right corner

A recent example — the EURUSD hourly chart, September to October 2026. It is a different story, not a continuation of 2023.

Step 4

What comes next: the ranges follow the idea

Once an idea has come together, the indicator keeps leading local ranges, and the ones that belong to it point its way — here the red LH and LL pairs, with 4H and 1D reading SHORT. At the right edge price turned up from an OF ★ zone, a green HL label appeared and 1H switched to LONG: reversal or pullback is the trader's call. An idea holds while point A is not taken out and point B is not reached.

Step 5

A notification when a new range appears

The notification arrives at the moment a working range is formed. No need to sit in front of the monitors.

It reports one fact only: the range is there. What to do with it is up to the trader.

Who it fits

One mechanic across different horizons

The walkthrough above runs on two timeframes, the week and the hour. The markup is the same on both; what changes is the direction panel — it is set up for the working chart: on the weekly frames it reads 1W, 1M and 3M, on the hourly ones 1H, 4H and 1D. So the horizon is yours to choose: you watch your own chart and see the picture from the higher ones.

The strategy is yours to choose too: through imbalances, through order flow and order blocks, or by swings. The indicator shows the reaction at every zone of interest, and you decide which reaction fits your strategy.

Intraday

Working chart — 15 minutes or the hour. Higher ones — 4 hours and the day.

Swing

Working chart — 4 hours. Higher ones — the day and the week.

Position trading and investing

Working chart — the day or the week. Higher ones — the week, the month and the quarter.

What this does not change

The horizon is free, the method is not. The indicator is built for traders who already read the market through structure and context.

Settings

The markup can be tuned to your setup

Layers you do not need are switched off, and the palette is repainted for your theme. The frames above were prepared for the demonstration: the functions from the steps are on, some layers are off, strong swings are recoloured pink. The background is a gradient, the TradingView overlays are removed, labels are redrawn larger, and structure labels leave out the higher-timeframe swing tag. The 50% dashed line was drawn in TradingView — the indicator does not draw it.

In the bottom-right corner the indicator shows what share of ranges in the chart's history closed as a success — 60% (6/10), for example. It is a count over past data, not a forecast or a promise of results.

What is drawn and in which colours

The functional groups decide what is drawn: order-flow zones, higher-timeframe imbalances and swings, lower-timeframe structure breaks; a colour group sets the palette. Of the five functions in the walkthrough only Show HTF swings is on by default; the other four are switched on in the Order Flow and HTF Imbalance groups.

The Trade Model settings dialog, Order Flow and HTF Imbalance groups at their defaults: Show zone strength, Show order blocks, Show IFC blocks and Track imbalance test reaction are off; Show untested flows, Show tested flows and Show strength tooltip are on; of the higher-timeframe imbalances, step +2 and tested imbalances are on
Order Flow and HTF Imbalance: where Show zone strength, Show order blocks, Show IFC blocks and Track imbalance test reaction are switched on
The Trade Model settings dialog, HTF Swings group at its defaults: Show HTF swings: step +1 and step +2, Highlight swing wicks and Swing tag are on; Show swing levels, Show weak swings and step +3 are off; below are the LTF Structure Breaks, Win-rate engine (WR) and Alerts (Telegram) groups
HTF Swings: higher-timeframe swings, steps +1 and +2 on by default
The Trade Model settings dialog, colour group: direction-panel cells for LONG, SHORT and no data, order-flow zones base (0–1 star) and strong (2 stars), bullish, bearish and tested imbalances, a confirmed imbalance test, the lower-timeframe break line and tag, the impulse line, the main and inner correction lines, untested and tested order blocks, the IFC block
Colours: base and strong order-flow zones, order blocks, the IFC block
The Trade Model settings dialog, the colour group continued: swings — strong, weak, first, broken and held — and the reaction-imbalance border of an imbalance test

Practical value

What the trader actually gets

The value is not abstract automation. It is a more manageable process, from the moment an idea appears to tracking it.

Less manual markup

Less need to rebuild the same structure visually from scratch every time the market develops.

Lower visual memory load

Ranges and states are easier to keep in view instead of relying only on what you remember from the chart.

Cleaner range awareness

It becomes easier to understand where the current move is inside its active structure.

Fewer missed moments

Important structural transitions and range events are less likely to be overlooked during routine work.

More practical notifications

Notifications help reduce the need to watch the chart constantly without disconnecting from your own plan.

More stable workflow

The scenario is easier to manage consistently from context to correction to continuation.

Important

Where the limits are

What the indicator does not do

  • It does not guarantee profitability.
  • It does not replace context or market logic.
  • It does not build a trading plan for the trader.
  • It is not a “press button and trade” tool.
  • It is not built for traders looking for a blind "buy/sell" button.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it tell you what to buy and when to enter?

No. The indicator marks up the chart, and once point A appears you can get an idea from it, but it gives no ready-made entries: whether to buy or sell and when to enter is the trader's decision.

Is it for finding ideas or managing them?

Both. You can get an idea as soon as point A appears: it is placed by the Show IFC blocks and Track imbalance test reaction functions, which you switch on in the settings. Tracking within the idea stays available by default: the indicator keeps leading local ranges. The trade decision and the trading plan are the trader's.

Can I use Trade Model if I do not want to build the higher-timeframe context myself?

Yes. In that case it makes sense to lean on the analysis: we publish instrument reviews and monthly reports openly, and they set the higher-timeframe context. The indicator helps manage the scenario inside that context.

What is included in the access and how do I get it?

The Trade Model indicator in TradingView — that is the whole of the paid access; the analysis is published openly. The indicator is private (invite-only), so the manager adds your TradingView account to the allowed list by hand. It is not on sale right now — we open access gradually to the people on the queue and write to you when your turn comes.

What the access includes

Do I need a paid TradingView plan?

No. The indicator works on the free TradingView plan.

Which markets and timeframes does the indicator work on?

The indicator works with any TradingView instrument and timeframe. The published analysis currently covers EURUSD, XAUUSD, GER40 and GBPUSD in the market analysis feed, and four instruments in the monthly reports.

Does the markup repaint?

No. The markup does not repaint: labels, ranges and levels already drawn are not changed after the fact.

Where do the notifications arrive?

Notifications are set up with TradingView's own tools: you choose the instruments you want them for. The delivery channels are the ones TradingView provides — email, mobile push, a desktop notification and a webhook. The webhook can optionally be pointed at Telegram.

Can I get a refund?

The indicator is not on sale right now, so there is nothing to pay for and nothing to refund. Joining the queue is free and commits you to nothing. Terms for periods paid for earlier are unchanged and stay in the refund policy.

Where to start

Two stages: from the open indicator to the queue

The path builds up step by step: first the open indicator with no strings attached, then the queue for the full version.

Free Focusprofit Market Structure indicator marking market structure only

Free version: structure markup only

Stage 1

The open indicator in TradingView

Our open indicator Focusprofit. Market Structure is published in the TradingView library. It marks up market structure: HH, HL, LH, LL.

One click to add. No invite, no application, no time limit.

That is where it stops. Higher-timeframe direction, order-flow zones, imbalances and structure breaks come with the full Trade Model.

Stage 2

The queue for full access

Full access is the Trade Model indicator itself: the MTF panel, order-flow zones, imbalances, structure breaks and range alerts inside TradingView.

No paid access yet. The demo is free, on Telegram. What the access includes is on the access page.

If this workflow fits the way you already read the market — join the queue.

Trade Model is most useful for traders who already think in terms of structure, context, ranges, and scenario management. In practice, it adds clarity and a steadier process, from point A to tracking the idea. If the management logic itself fits you but you do not want to build the higher-timeframe context on your own, you can lean on the FocusProfit analysis — we publish it openly.
