ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of tools crafted to aid traders in pinpointing crucial trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context. The toolkit integrates commonly used price action tools to be utilized in conjunction with the Immediate Rebalance patterns, enriching the capacity to discern context for improved trading decisions.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit encompasses the following Price Action components:
ICT Immediate Rebalance
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Liquidity Voids
ICT Macros
🔶 USAGE
🔹 ICT Immediate Rebalance
What is an Immediate Rebalance?
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Rule of Thumb
After an immediate rebalance, the expectation is for two extension candles to follow; otherwise, the immediate rebalance is considered failed. It's important to highlight that both failed and successful immediate rebalances, when considered within a context, are significant signatures in trading.
Immediate rebalances can occur anywhere and in any timeframe.
🔹 Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity primarily refers to the presence of stop losses or pending orders, that indicate concentrations of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Institutional traders, like banks and large financial entities, frequently aim for these liquidity levels or pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
Buyside liquidity denotes a chart level where short sellers typically position their stops, while Sellside liquidity indicates a level where long-biased traders usually place their stops. These zones often serve as support or resistance levels, presenting potential trading opportunities.
The presentation applied here is the multi-timeframe version of our previously published Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity script.
🔹 Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks hold significant importance in technical analysis and play a crucial role in shaping market behavior.
Order blocks are fundamental elements of price action analysis used by traders to identify key levels in the market where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These blocks represent areas on a price chart where institutional traders, banks, or large market participants have placed substantial buy or sell orders, leading to a temporary imbalance in supply and demand.
Breaker blocks, also known as liquidity clusters or pools, complement order blocks by identifying zones where liquidity is concentrated on the price chart. These areas, formed from mitigated order blocks, often act as significant barriers to price movement, potentially leading to price stalls or reversals in the future.
🔹 Liquidity Voids
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers.
Here is our previously released Liquidity-Voids script.
🔹 ICT Macros
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
Here is our previously released ICT-Macros script.

ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

ICT SIlver Bullet Trading Windows UK times🎯 Purpose of the Indicator
It’s designed to highlight key ICT “macro” and “micro” windows of opportunity, i.e., time ranges where liquidity grabs and algorithmic setups are most likely to occur. The ICT Silver Bullet concept is built on the idea that institutions execute in recurring intraday windows, and these often produce high-probability setups.
🕰️ Windows
London Macro Window
10:00 – 11:00 UK time
This aligns with a major liquidity window after the London equities open settles and London + EU traders reposition.
You’re looking for setups like liquidity sweeps, MSS (market structure shift), and FVG entries here.
New York Macro Window
15:00 – 16:00 UK time (10:00 – 11:00 NY time)
This is right after the NY equities open, a key ICT window for volatility and liquidity grabs.
Power Hour
Usually 20:00 – 21:00 UK time (3pm–4pm NY time), the last trading hour of NY equities.
ICT often refers to this as another manipulation window where setups can form before the daily close.
🔍 What the Indicator Does
Draws session boxes or shading: so you can visually see the London/NY/Power Hour windows directly on your chart.
Macro vs. Micro time frames:
Macro windows → The ones you set (London & NY) are the major daily algo execution windows.
Micro windows → Within those boxes, ICT expects smaller intraday setups (like a Silver Bullet entry from a sweep + FVG).
Guides your trade selection: it tells you when not to hunt trades everywhere, but instead to wait for price action confirmation inside those boxes.
🧩 How This Fits ICT Silver Bullet Trading
The ICT Silver Bullet strategy says:
Wait for one of the macro windows (London or NY).
Look for liquidity sweep → market structure shift → FVG.
Enter with defined risk inside that hour.
This indicator essentially does step 1 for you: it makes those high-probability windows visually obvious, so you don’t waste time trading random hours where algos aren’t active.

ICT Sessions and Kill Zones
What They Are:
ICT Sessions: These are specific times during the trading day when market activity is expected to be higher, such as the London Open, New York Open, and the Asian session.
Kill Zones: These are specific time windows within these sessions where the probability of significant price movements is higher. For example, the New York AM Kill Zone is typically from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM EST.
How to Use Them:
Identify the Session: Determine which trading session you are in (London, New York, or Asian).
Focus on Kill Zones: Within that session, focus on the kill zones for potential trade setups. For instance, during the New York session, look for setups between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM EST.
Silver Bullets
What They Are:
Silver Bullets: These are specific, high-probability trade setups that occur within the kill zones. They are designed to be "one shot, one kill" trades, meaning they aim for precise and effective entries and exits.
How to Use Them:
Time-Based Setup: Look for these setups within the designated kill zones. For example, between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the New York AM session .
Chart Analysis: Start with higher time frames like the 15-minute chart and then refine down to 5-minute and 1-minute charts to identify imbalances or specific patterns .
Macros
What They Are:
Macros: These are broader market conditions and trends that influence your trading decisions. They include understanding the overall market direction, seasonal tendencies, and the Commitment of Traders (COT) reports.
How to Use Them:
Understand Market Conditions: Be aware of the macroeconomic factors and market conditions that could affect price movements.
Seasonal Tendencies: Know the seasonal patterns that might influence the market direction.
COT Reports: Use the Commitment of Traders reports to understand the positioning of large traders and commercial hedgers .
Putting It All Together
Preparation: Understand the macro conditions and review the COT reports.
Session and Kill Zone: Identify the trading session and focus on the kill zones.
Silver Bullet Setup: Look for high-probability setups within the kill zones using refined chart analysis.
Execution: Execute the trade with precision, aiming for a "one shot, one kill" outcome.
By following these steps, you can effectively use ICT sessions, kill zones, silver bullets, and macros to enhance your trading strategy.
Usage:
To maximize your experience, shrink the pane where the script is drawn. This minimizes distractions while keeping the essential time markers visible. The script is designed to help traders by clearly annotating key trading periods without overwhelming their charts.

ICT Complex[Iss2k]📘 ICT Complex — Smart Money Concepts Indicator
Overview
The ICT Complex indicator is a comprehensive Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT-based analysis tool designed to visualize institutional trading concepts such as Order Blocks, Liquidity Voids, Swing Structure, and Market Direction.
It combines multiple elements from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology to help traders identify potential market reversals, liquidity grabs, and premium/discount trading zones.
🧩 Main Features
1. Order Blocks (OB)
Automatically detects bullish and bearish order blocks based on pivot highs and lows.
Displays order block zones as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Optional auto-deletion: an OB zone disappears once price breaks through it.
Zones are confirmed (locked) when retested, providing confluence for trade entries.
2. Swing Highs & Lows (Market Structure)
Detects swing highs (SH) and swing lows (SL) to visualize market structure shifts.
Draws horizontal lines at each confirmed swing point.
When price breaks above a swing high or below a swing low, the indicator signals potential bullish or bearish market structure shifts (MSS).
3. Liquidity Voids (Imbalances / Fair Value Gaps)
Identifies liquidity voids (imbalances) — areas where price moved too quickly and left inefficiency in the market.
Marks these zones with transparent colored boxes:
🟩 Green for bullish voids
🟥 Red for bearish voids
Can optionally label each void for better visualization.
4. Trend Confirmation (EMA 200)
Includes an EMA200 trend filter to identify overall market direction.
The EMA line changes color:
🟩 Green when trending up
🟥 Red when trending down
Used to filter signals in the direction of institutional order flow.
5. DI Strength & Candle Coloring
Uses a modified Directional Index (DI) to color candles based on strength and direction:
🟩 Green = bullish momentum
🟥 Red = bearish momentum
🟪 Purple = neutral
6. Range Filter Logic
A smoothed range filter helps confirm breakout conditions and trend continuation.
Generates Buy (A / A+) or Sell (A / A+) labels when market structure and filter direction align.
Displays real-time peak profit tracking, showing how far price has moved from the entry signal in percentage.
7. Alerts
Configurable Buy and Sell alerts when valid signals are confirmed on the bar close.
💡 How to Use
Apply the indicator to any timeframe (best results on 15m–4h).
Use Order Blocks and Liquidity Voids to identify institutional areas of interest.
Wait for structure shifts (SH/SL breaks) to confirm direction.
Filter trades with EMA200 and Range Filter signals.
Use Buy/Sell alerts as confirmations, not standalone signals.
⚙️ Customization Options
Toggle visibility for each feature: Order Blocks, Liquidity Voids, Swing Signals, Range Labels, etc.
Adjust sensitivity for swing detection and liquidity voids.
Change colors and maximum number of visual elements to suit your chart style.
📈 Summary
The ICT Complex indicator provides an all-in-one framework for Smart Money trading analysis.
It helps traders understand how institutional liquidity, order flow, and market structure interact — aligning your trades with the principles of ICT and Smart Money Concepts.
ICT Silver Bullet with signals
The "ICT Silver Bullet with signals" indicator (inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT)),
goes a step further than the ICT Silver Bullet publication, which I made for LuxAlgo :
• uses HTF candles
• instant drawing of Support & Resistance (S/R) lines when price retraces into FVG
• NWOG - NDOG S/R lines
• signals
The Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When price goes back to the FVG, without breaking it, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn immediately.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (03 AM — 04 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (02 PM — 03 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
This technique can visualise potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
When HTF candles forms an FVG, the FVG will be drawn at the end (close) of the last HTF candle.
To make it easier to visualise the 2 HTF candles that form the FVG, you can enable
• SHOW -> HTF candles
During the SB session, when a FVG is broken, the FVG will be removed, together with its S/R lines.
The same goes if price did not retrace into FVG at the last bar of the SB session
Only exception is when "Remove broken FVG's" is disabled.
In this case a FVG can be broken, as long as price bounces back before the end of the SB session, it will remain to be visible:
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
S/R target lines are drawn immediately when price retraces into the FVG.
They will remain updated until they are broken (target hit)
Potential S/R lines are formed by:
• previous swings (swing settings (left-right)
• New Week Opening Gap (NWOG): close on Friday - weekly open
• New Day Opening Gap (NWOG): close previous day - current daily open
Only non-broken lines are included.
Broken =
• minimum of open and close below potential S/R line
• maximum of open and close above potential S/R line
NDOG lines are coloured fuchsia (as in the ICT lectures), NWOG are coloured white (darkmode) or black (lightmode ~ ICT lectures)
Swing line colour can be set as desired.
Here S/R includes NDOG lines:
The same situation, with "Extend Target-lines to their source" enabled:
Here with NWOG lines:
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs
The minimum distance (if applicable) can be shown by enabling "Show" - "Minimum Trade Framework" -> blue arrow from close to mTFW
Potential S/R lines needs to be higher (bullish) or lower (bearish) than mTFW.
🔶 SETTINGS
(check USAGE for deeper insights and explanation)
🔹 Only last x bars: when enabled, the script will do most of the calculations at these last x candles, potentially this can speeds calculations.
🔹 Swing settings (left-right): Sets the length, which will set the lookback period/sensitivity of the ZigZag patterns (which directs the trend and points for S/R lines)
🔹 FVG
HTF (minutes): 1-15 minutes.
• When the chart TF is equal of higher, calculations are based on current TF.
• Chart TF > 15 minutes will give the warning: "Please use a timeframe <= 15 minutes".
Remove broken FVG's: when enabled the script will remove FVG (+ associated S/R lines) immediately when FVG is broken at opposite direction.
FVG's still will be automatically removed at the end of the SB session, when there is no retrace, together with associated S/R lines,...
~ trend: Only include FVG in the same direction as the current trend
Note -> when set 'right' (swing setting) rather high ( > 3), he trend change will be delayed as well (default 'right' max 5)
Extend: extend FVG to max right side of SB session
🔹 Targets – support/resistance
Extend Target-lines to their source: extend lines to their origin
Colours (Swing S/R lines)
🔹 Show
SB session: show lines and labels of SB session (+ colour)
• Labels can be disabled separately in the 'Style' section, colour is set at the 'Inputs' section
Trend : Show trend (ZigZag, coloured ~ trend)
HTF candles: Show the 2 HTF candles that form the FVG
Minimum Trade Framework: blue arrow (if applicable)
🔶 ALERTS
There are 4 signals provided (bullish/bearish):
FVG Formed
FVG Retrace
Target reached
FVG cancelled
You can choose between dynamic alerts - only 1 alert needs to be set for all signals, or you can set specific alerts as desired.

ICT Market Structure and OTE ZoneThis indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, and it helps identify daily market structure and the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
To read and interpret this indicator, follow these steps:
Daily High and Low: The red line represents the daily high, while the green line represents the daily low. These lines help you understand the market structure and the range within which the price has moved during the previous day.
OTE Zone: The gray area between two gray lines represents the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone. This zone is calculated using Fibonacci retracement levels (in this case, 61.8% and 78.6%) applied to the previous day's high and low. The OTE zone is an area where traders might expect a higher probability of a price reversal, following the ICT concepts.
To use this indicator for trading decisions, you should consider the following:
Identify the market structure and overall trend (uptrend, downtrend, or ranging).
Watch for price action to enter the OTE zone. When the price reaches the OTE zone, it may indicate a higher probability of a price reversal.
Combine the OTE zone with other confluences, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or additional ICT concepts like order blocks and market maker profiles, to strengthen your trading decisions.
Always use proper risk management and stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market moves against your trade.
Keep in mind that the provided indicator is a simple example based on the ICT concepts and should not be considered financial advice. The ICT methodology is vast, and traders often combine multiple concepts to develop their trading strategies. The provided indicator should be treated as a starting point to explore and implement the ICT concepts in your trading strategy.

ICT NWOG/NDOG Gaps [TradingFinder] New Opening Gaps🔵 Introduction
🟣 Understanding ICT Opening Gaps
In the realm of technical analysis, mastering the art of recognizing market behavior and pinpointing key price levels is vital for making sound trading decisions. Among the array of tools available, the concept of opening gaps stands out for its ability to provide crucial insights.
The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology offers a distinctive approach to understanding the importance of New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG), New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG), and New Monthly Opening Gaps (NMOG).
These gaps, representing the price differences between the close of a previous period and the open of the next, serve as key reference points that can greatly impact price movements.
The ICT trading approach highlights these gaps as potential zones of support and resistance. Prices often respond to these areas, either bouncing off or passing through and then retesting them. Within these gaps, significant levels such as the high and low are particularly important.
Additionally, the Event Horizon PD Array (EHPDA) concept, which is an intermediate level calculated from the average of neighboring NWOGs or NDOGs, adds another layer to this analysis.
This guide delves into ICT's New Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Opening Ranges, showing how these gaps can be effectively utilized in trading. By grasping the nuances of these gaps, traders can better forecast market behavior, identify key support and resistance levels, and refine their trading strategies.
🟣 The Gaps
1. New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) : The NWOG is the price gap between Friday's closing price and Sunday's opening price. This gap is particularly crucial for traders who monitor weekly trends. Depending on the direction of the gap, the NWOG often serves as a pivotal support or resistance level.
2. New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) : The NDOG signifies the price difference between the closing price of the previous day and the opening price of the current day. Much like the NWOG, the NDOG is a key reference point for intraday traders.
Prices typically react to these levels, either reversing or continuing through the gap after a retest. NDOGs are instrumental in identifying short-term support and resistance levels, aiding traders in making decisions based on daily price movements.
3. New Monthly Opening Gap (NMOG) : The NMOG represents the gap between the closing price of the previous month and the opening price of the current month.
This gap is especially valuable for traders focusing on long-term trends and macroeconomic factors. As with NWOGs and NDOGs, the NMOG can act as a significant support or resistance level.
🔵 How to Use
Identifying Support and Resistance : Opening gaps often indicate potential zones where prices might reverse or find support/resistance. For example, if a new day opens below the previous day’s close (creating a NDOG), this gap could act as resistance, prompting traders to consider short positions if the price retests this level without breaking through.
Conversely, if the price opens above the previous day’s close, the gap might serve as support, offering a potential entry point for long trades.
Gap Fill Strategy : A popular strategy associated with opening gaps is the "gap fill" approach, where traders anticipate that the price will eventually return to fill the gap.
For instance, if there’s a significant NDOG at market open, a trader might expect the price to retrace back to the previous day’s close, effectively "filling" the gap. This strategy is particularly effective in markets that exhibit mean-reverting behavior.
Combining Gaps with Other Indicators : Traders often enhance their analysis of NDOG, NWOG, and NMOG by integrating other technical indicators. Aligning gap levels with tools such as Fibonacci retracements, moving averages, or existing support and resistance zones can provide additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔵 Setting
Show and Color : You can control the display or non-display of the range as well as the color of the range.
Max Opening Range Update Method : You can control the number of ranges that are updated. If it is "All", all ranges that are not mitigated will be displayed. If "Custom", the ranges will be updated based on the number you specify.
Max Opening Range Update : The number of ranges to update.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT New Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Opening Ranges provide traders with a systematic approach to understanding market dynamics and identifying critical support and resistance levels.
By analyzing these gaps, traders can gain deeper insights into potential price movements, spot high-probability trade setups, and strengthen their overall trading strategy. Whether you are focused on short-term day trading or long-term market trends, incorporating NDOG, NWOG, and NMOG analysis into your trading plan can be a powerful addition to your toolkit.

ICT Sessions [TradeWithRon]
ICT Sessions and killzones maps three intraday sessions on your chart (Asia, London, NY), tracks each session’s live high/low, draws optional session range boxes, and projects ICT OTE zones in real time—with granular styling, touch/mitigation logic, and alerting.
What it does
Live Session high/low tracking.
Historical session lines:
When a session ends, its final High/Low are preserved as tracked lines (with optional labels) for a configurable number of recent sessions.
Session boxes (ranges):
Draws a shaded box from session start to end that expands with new highs/lows. Limit how many recent boxes remain on chart.
ICT OTE zones (live):
For the currently active session, projects user-defined Fibonacci OTE levels (e.g., 61.8%, 70.5%, 78.6) between the session’s running high and low. Zones update tick-by-tick and can show labels. You can retain a history of recent sessions’ OTE levels.
Break visualization (mitigation):
Optionally color the bar when price breaks a stored session High/Low. You can:
Require a body close through the level (vs. any touch)
Auto-remove the line and/or label on touch/close
Use custom break colors per session and side (high/low)
Timestamps:
Add up to two recurring vertical timestamp markers (e.g., 08:00, 09:30), plus an opening horizontal marker (e.g., 09:30) with label that extends until the next occurrence.
Alerts:
Built-in alerts for:
Touch of Session 1/2/3 High/Low (Asia/London/NY)
Touch of OTE levels (per session)
Key inputs:
Time & Limits
Timezone (e.g., GMT-4)
Timeframe limit: hide all drawings on and above a specified TF
Sessions
Session windows (default):
Session 1 (Asia): 18:00–00:00
Session 2 (London): 00:00–06:00
Session 3 (NY): 08:00–12:00
How many to keep (lines/boxes)
Line width, colors, and label suffixes (“High”/“Low”)
Labels: toggle, text (“Asia”, “London”, “NY”), size, and colors
Boxes: toggle per session and background colors
ICT OTE Zones
Toggle per session (Asia/London/NY)
Levels (comma-separated %s, e.g., 61.8,70.5,78.6)
History: number of past sessions to retain
Opacity, line width/style, and label size
Custom label text per session (e.g., “Asia OTE”)
Break/Mitigation Behavior:
Enable Mitigated Candles (bar color on break)
Remove line on touch and/or remove label on touch
Require body close (vs. wick touch)
Custom break colors by session and side
Timestamps
Opening horizontal line (time, style, width, color, label text/size, drawing limit)
Two vertical timestamps (times, style, width, color, drawing limit)
Alerts
Master Enable Alerts
Per-session toggles for High/Low touches
OTE touch alerts
How it works (under the hood)
Detects session state via input.session() windows in the chosen timezone.
Live session High/Low lines and labels update in real time; on session end, final levels are stored with optional labels and tracked length.
OTE zones are live-computed from current session High↔Low and refreshed every bar; a compact rolling history is enforced.
Bar coloring reacts to break events (touch or body-close, per your setting) and uses session-specific colors when enabled.
Timestamp lines/labels are created on each occurrence and trimmed to a drawing limit for performance.
Tips:
To hide session lines but keep boxes, set line color opacity to 0.
Use Timeframe Limit to keep higher-TF charts clean.
Fine-tune OTE Levels and History to balance clarity and performance.
For stricter break logic, enable Require Body Close.
Note: The script reserves high limits for lines/labels/boxes to keep recent context visible while managing cleanup automatically. Adjust “Session Number” and “Number Of Boxes” to suit your workflow.

ICT Concepts(Liquidity, FVG & Liquidity Sweeps)📄 Description:
A Smart Money Concept (SMC)-based utility that blends ICT-style Liquidity Sweeps, Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping, and Swing Structure proxies – designed for traders seeking clean precision in price imbalance analysis.
⸻
🔍 1. What This Script Does
T his indicator brings together three core Institutional Concepts:
• Liquidity Sweep Detection : Identifies buy/sell-side liquidity grabs (fakeouts) confirmed by volume spikes – a common precursor to institutional order flow shifts.
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlights inefficiencies between price legs using strict ICT-style 3-candle or gap-based rules. These are areas institutions often revisit.
• Swing Structure Proxy (OB Mapping) : Tracks dynamic swing highs/lows to act as proxy zones for potential order blocks and structural boundaries.
It also includes a cooldown-based signal filtering engine to prevent overfitting and noise, helping traders avoid false positives in choppy markets.
⚙️ 2. How It Works (Core Logic)
✅ A. Liquidity Sweep Engine
• Looks back N bars to find Equal Highs or Equal Lows.
• Triggers a signal only if price sweeps the level and closes on the other side with a volume spike.
• Customizable volume threshold (e.g., 1.5x average volume).
• Includes a signal cooldown period to reduce clutter and boost quality.
Bullish Sweep = Price dips below equal lows but closes higher
Bearish Sweep = Price spikes above equal highs but closes lower
Visuals: Signal arrows with alerts (BUY LQ / SELL LQ)
⸻
✅ B. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Zones
• Detects FVGs using:
• Sequential logic: Low > High (bullish), High < Low (bearish)
• Gap logic: Open gaps at bar open
• Dynamic box drawing:
• Automatically extends FVG zones until price fully closes through them.
• Different color coding for bullish (teal) and bearish (orange) gaps.
• Customizable:
• Opacity control
• Option to include/exclude gap-based FVGs
• Hide filled zones
• Limit total zones rendered (for performance)
⸻
✅ C. Swing High/Low Structure
• Uses a lookback period to find latest swing high/low levels.
• Acts as a proxy for Order Block zones or structural shift reference points.
• Plotted as red (high) and green (low) lines.
⸻
🚀 3. How to Use It
• Scalpers and Intraday Traders can use Liquidity Sweep + FVG Confluence to time reversals or catch early entries into trend continuation moves.
• Swing Traders can observe swing OB proxies and recent FVG zones to frame directional bias and target zones.
• Volume-Aware Traders benefit from the volume filter that confirms sweeps are meaningful – not just random stop hunts.
🔔 Set alerts on:
• Bullish Liquidity Sweeps
• Bearish Liquidity Sweeps
You can use this in combination with your own trend filters, or even confluence it with Order Blocks, VWAP, or EMA trend tools.
⸻
💡 What Makes It Original?
• The script doesn’t merely combine standard tools — it builds a cohesive ICT-style detection system using:
• A custom volume-confirmed liquidity sweep filter
• Dynamic FVG rendering with filled logic + performance optimization
• Visual hierarchy to avoid clutter: clean line plots, contextual boxes, and conditional signals
• Highly customizable yet lightweight, making it suitable for fast-paced decision making.
⸻
✅ Notes
• Invite-only script for serious traders interested in Smart Money and ICT concepts.
• Does not repaint signals.
• All visuals are dynamically managed for clarity and performance.
ICT OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) IndicatorWhat This Indicator Does:
This is an ultra-clean ICT (Inner Circle Trader) indicator that shows only ONE high-probability signal at a time when multiple confluences perfectly align. It eliminates chart clutter and focuses on the absolute best trading opportunities.
How It Takes Positions:
🔍 Signal Requirements (ALL Must Align):
Market Structure Break - Significant swing high/low break with volume confirmation
Fair Value Gap (FVG) - Large price imbalance/gap (minimum 0.5% size)
Order Block - Institutional supply/demand zone from recent rejection candle
OTE Sweet Spot - Price retraces to 70.5% Fibonacci level (optimal entry zone)
Volume Confirmation - 50% above 50-bar average volume
Rejection Candle - Proper candle formation showing rejection at the level
📊 Position Entry Logic:
BUY Signal Triggers When:
Price breaks above a significant swing high (bullish structure break)
Price retraces back down into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block
Retracement reaches exactly the 70.5% optimal level
Volume spike confirms institutional interest
Rejection candle forms (closes higher than it opened during retracement)
No other signal has been active in the last 50 bars (cooldown system)
SELL Signal Triggers When:
Price breaks below a significant swing low (bearish structure break)
Price retraces back up into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block
Retracement reaches exactly the 70.5% optimal level
Volume spike confirms institutional interest
Rejection candle forms (closes lower than it opened during retracement)
No other signal has been active in the last 50 bars (cooldown system)
⚡ Key Features:
Ultra-Strict Filtering: Only 2-4 signals per month on average (quality over quantity)
One Signal Rule: Only one active signal at a time - no confusion
50-Bar Cooldown: Prevents signal spam and overtrading
Perfect Confluence: Requires 3+ ICT concepts to align simultaneously
Clean Chart: No boxes, lines, or visual clutter - just clear BUY/SELL labels
🎯 Trading Strategy:
Wait for Signal: Large BUY or SELL label appears on chart
Entry: Enter immediately when signal appears (all confluences already confirmed)
Stop Loss: Place beyond the Fair Value Gap or Order Block (typically 1-2% risk)
Take Profit: Target previous swing high/low or major liquidity levels

ICT MACRO MAX RETRI ( ALERT )🖤 ICT Reversal Detector – Minimalist Edition
This indicator is designed for traders who follow Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, particularly focused on liquidity sweeps and displacement reversals.
It detects:
• Swing Highs & Lows that occur during the most reactive windows of each hour
→ Specifically the last 20 minutes and first 15 minutes
(ICT teaches these moments often reveal macro-level reversals. I’ve expanded the window slightly to give the indicator more room to catch valid setups.)
• Liquidity Sweeps of previous highs/lows
• Displacement (State Change): defined as a manipulation wick followed by 1–3 strong candles closing in the opposite direction
Visually:
• Clean black lines pointing right from the liquidity sweep wick
• White triangle markers inside black label boxes only when valid displacement occurs
• No clutter, no unnecessary shapes — just focused signal
Built for:
• 5-minute charts, especially NASDAQ (NAS100) and S&P 500 (SPX500)
• Confirm setups manually on the 15-minute chart for extra precision
This is a partial automation tool for ICT-style reversal traders who prefer clarity, minimalism, and sharp intuition over noise.
Let it alert you to setups — then decide like a sniper.

ICT Smart Money Liquidity LevelsThe ICT Smart Money Liquidity Levels indicator is designed to visualize key liquidity areas across multiple timeframes. Based on ICT concepts, this tool can help traders analyze price movement, liquidity sweeps, and expansion levels without switching between timeframes.
This indicator highlights liquidity levels at significant highs and lows, allowing users to track potential areas of interest where price may react. By also incorporating historical measurements, it also provides forecasted average sweep and expansion zones.
Features:
- Liquidity Levels
Plots previous HTF candle highs and lows. Available for 1H, 4H, Daily.
- Major Liquidity Levels
Highlights areas where price previously reached a significant high or low within 10 HTF candles. Available for 1H, 4H, Daily.
- Sweep and Expansion Forecast
Uses historical price data to forecast the average sweep and expansion levels for the next HTF candle. Available for 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
Why Is This Indicator Useful?
Based on ICT concepts, price seeks liquidity, often targeting trapped stops above highs and below lows before reversing or continuing its trend. High-timeframe (HTF) highs and lows, such as 1H, 4H, and Daily liquidity levels, act as natural draw points where price is likely to react. These levels represent areas where stop hunts, liquidity grabs, and institutional order flow often take place. By marking these zones, traders can anticipate where price may seek liquidity before making a significant move.
Additionally, historical liquidity sweeps and expansion zones provide insight into how price has behaved in similar situations in the past. According to ICT methodology, price often manipulates liquidity before expanding in the intended direction. By tracking average sweep and expansion levels, traders can forecast potential price movement, aligning their entries with areas where liquidity has historically been taken or distributed.

ICT AMDWhat the indicator does
This indicator, named "ICT AMD indicator", is designed for traders who follow the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) theory, focusing on identifying and visualizing phases of market structure related to Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution. These phases are crucial for understanding the market's direction and potential turning points. The indicator:
Draws boxes on the chart to represent Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution areas, providing a visual representation of these key market phases.
Highlights areas where the market is likely accumulating assets before a big move, manipulating prices to trigger retail stop losses, and distributing assets after a significant price move.
How the indicator does it
The indicator implements its functionality through a series of calculated steps and conditions:
Utilizes pivot points to identify potential swing highs and lows within the market, which serve as the basis for determining the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Allows users to customize the pivot range and whether to include wicks in the pivot calculation, giving flexibility in identifying swing points based on personal trading style or strategy.
Creates visual boxes on the chart where these phases are identified:
Accumulation boxes are drawn when the market is perceived to be gathering assets, indicated by a specific price behavior around swing lows.
Manipulation boxes appear around price levels where the market is likely pushing beyond key accumulation or distribution zones, possibly to trigger stop-loss orders.
Distribution boxes are established following the manipulation phase, indicating areas where the market is offloading assets post-accumulation.
Adjusts the right edge of these boxes as new price information becomes available, ensuring they remain relevant and accurate to current market conditions.
Employs color coding (green for Accumulation, red for Manipulation, and blue for Distribution) to make the distinction between different market phases clear and intuitive.
How traders can use it
Traders can leverage the "ICT AMD indicator" to enhance their market analysis and decision-making process:
Identify potential entry and exit points by observing the transitions between Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution phases.
Adjust their risk management strategies based on the identification of Manipulation areas, which could indicate areas of high stop-loss activity.
Use the Accumulation and Distribution boxes to gauge the strength of a trend or potential reversal points, as these areas often precede significant market moves.
Incorporate the indicator's insights with other analysis tools or indicators to confirm trade hypotheses or to refine entry and exit strategies.
Apply the visual cues provided by the indicator to anticipate market moves based on historical patterns of Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution, aligning their trading strategies with the inferred market psychology.
By understanding and utilizing the visual and analytical insights provided by the "ICT AMD indicator", traders can potentially improve their trading outcomes by aligning their strategies with the underlying market dynamics it reveals.
