Inverse FVG with Rejections [TFO]This indicator is made to look for Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) and show rejections from relevant areas. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are created when there is an energetic move that leaves a gap between the preceding and following candle's wicks. When that area is violated, we may consider that area as an Inverse FVG, treating it along the lines of a "support turned resistance" type setup with proper context.
Once a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is found with sufficient user-defined displacement, it is saved until price fully closes through that area, at which point it becomes an IFVG, which is also saved until price once again closes through that area.
Users can select a specific time period from which to look for and save FVGs, such as during the New York trading session in the following example.
Lastly, users can enable rejections that look for swing lows in bullish FVGs/IFVGs and swing highs in bearish FVGs/IFVGs. The following picture shows an instance of rejections from both regular and inverse FVGs, meaning the pivots were formed in a mutually shared area between a FVG and IFVG.

Introducing the dR-Algo's ICT Kill Zones Indicator – a tool meticulously crafted to blend with the elegance of the ICT Concept of Kill Zones. Built for traders who seek clarity and focus, this unique indicator is tailored to highlight the essential time frames while ensuring minimal distraction from the core price action.
Key Features:
Three Kill Zones:
London Kill Zone: Kickstart your trading day with the London Kill Zone, highlighting the critical period between 03:00 to 04:00 (UTC-4). The London session, known for its volatility due to the overlapping of the Asian session, is captured precisely for your benefit.
NY AM Session: As the European markets gear towards close and the US markets come alive, our indicator emphasizes the activity from 10:00 to 11:00 (UTC-4). It’s a window where significant market moves often originate.
NY PM Session: Capture the late-day trading action between 14:00 to 15:00 (UTC-4). As markets prepare to close, this time frame can offer last-minute opportunities.
Subtle Yet Effective Visualization: Unlike many other indicators that bombard traders with an array of colors, our ICT Kill Zones Indicator is intentionally designed to be subtle. It provides just the right amount of visual emphasis without overwhelming the chart. The primary goal is to let traders focus on what truly matters: the price action.
User-Friendly Customization: The indicator's settings can be easily tailored to align with individual trading styles, allowing traders to adjust and tweak as per their preference.

Previous Days High & Low With AlertsAlerts: The updated script includes alerts for when the current price touches either the previous day's high (PDH) or low (PDL). This allows traders to receive notifications when these levels are breached.
Observing PDH/PDL: The script will display a single horizontal line representing both the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) from yesterday on the chart.
Alert Notifications: If you enabled alerts (by setting the "Enable Alerts" input to "true"), the script will trigger alerts when the current price action touches either the PDH or PDL.
daily bias @ttrades x joshuuuDaily bias is one of the most powerful tools when it comes to intraday trading.
Ttrades published a youtube video, in which he showcases his mechanical way of determing the daily bias based on ICTs and the MMXM Traders Teachings.
This indicator is based on those concepts.
The rules for this indicator are simple.
scenario 1 - first line of table
Close above previous days high gives a bullish bias.
Close below previous days low gives a bearish bias.
scenario 2 - second line of the table
Wick below previous days low and close within previous days body or above gives a bullish bias.
Wick above previous days high and close within previous days body or below gives a bearish bias.
"Bullish" bias is valid until previous daily high (pdh) is reached.
"Bearish" bias is valid until previous daily low (pdl) is reached.
If none of the above mentioned conditions is met OR the target (pdh/pdl) is reached, the bias is set to "Neutral".
On the daily timeframe, probabilities are visible on the table to reach pdh when the bias is "Bullish" or to reach pdl when the bias is "Bearish".
If the bias is bullish, the ideal buy would be below ny midnights opening price.
If the bias is bearish, the ideal sell would be above the ny midnights opening price.
ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter°The Average Daily Range (ADR) is a common metric used to measure volatility in an asset. It calculates the average difference between the highest and lowest price over a time interval – normally five days.
The Inner Circle Trader teaches the importance of this metric from an algorithmic point of view; in particular the 1/3ADR price level is deemed to be a threshold used to determine the area at which a Judas Swing – false move to trick market participants, protraction, manipulation – might exhaust. Another key difference in the ICT-use of this metric compared to the classic approach is that the average range is calculated from New York midnight Time, rather than the daily candle's open .
It is crucial to remember that the elements of Time are key when it comes to interpreting how price action will, or won't, react to this level: what Time of the day is it? what day of the week? what week of the month?
Let's consider the Time of the day. If one thinks about the Power of Three of the daily candle (Accumulation, Manipulation Distribution), it is highly unlikely that a Manipulation event will happen later in the day – whereas seeing the 1/3ADR hold in London session or New York open gives undeniable edge to an Analyst.
Apart from the 1/3ADR level seen from a Judas perspective, the opposing 1/3 level, and the full ADR projections, are excellent algorithmic levels at which we will see orderflow or reactions worth studying. These can be take profit targets, reversal opportunities, pyramid entries, ... Study them, and find what works for you!
Features:
Display a table with the previous N days' ranges and the current ADR value
Decide whether to consider daily candles, or New York (00:00 to 00:00 NY Time) for the basis of the calculation
See the ADR Range, the ADR price levels and 1/3ADR price levels by hovering over the text labels
Plot the ADR levels from the Midnight Anchor, or as offset markers on the side for a cleaner look
Show/Hide all elements individually
Examples:
– CBOT_MINI:YM1! at Equity Open
– INDEX:BTCUSD Perfect Buy Day Signature
– FX:EURUSD Clean Break = No Judas
– TSX:GC Repeated Attempts = Liquidity Engineering
SMC Structures and FVGThe SMC Structures and FVG indicator allows the user to easily identify trend continuations (Break Of Structure) or trend changes (CHange Of CHaracter) on any time frame. In addition, it display all FVG areas, whether they are bullish, bearish, or even mitigated.
Fair Value Gap :
The FVG process shows every bullish, bearish or even mitigated FVG liquidity area. When a FVG is fully mitigated it will directly be removed of the chart.
There is an history of FVG to show. By selecting specific number of FVG to show in the chart, the user can focus its analysis on lasts liquidity area.
Here's the rules for FVG color :
Green when it's a bullish FVG and has not been mitigated
Red when it's a bearish FVG and has not been mitigated
Gray when the bullish / bearish FVG has been mitigated
Removed when the FVG has been fully mitigated
Structures analysis:
The Structure process show BOS in grey lines and CHoCH in yellow lines. It shows to the user the lasts price action pattern.
The blue lines are the high value and the low value of the current structure.
ICT Daily Bias Finder [DTCC]What is This?
The ICT Daily Bias Finder uses a method called "DTCC" to identify the London and New York session's bias, bullish or bearish. This indicator should only be relied on for 5 minute, and not other timeframes.
How do I use it?
Look at the previous days two boxes (labeled DTCC Bear/DTCC Bull), if both are bullish or both are bearish it is NOT recommended to rely on DTCC for that day. If the first one is bullish and second one is bearish, the DTCC for the next day says that London session will turn ABOVE midnight opening price, while New York will turn UNDER midnight opening price (longs in London, shorts in New York). If the second one is bearish and the first is bullish, the DTCC for the next day says that London session will turn UNDER midnight opening price, while New York will turn ABOVE midnight opening price (shorts in London, longs in New York)
Emoji guide to DTCC indicator:
🟢🟢: Don't trust DTCC for that day
🔴🔴: Don't trust DTCC for that day
🟢🔴: Longs in London above Midnight Opening Price, Shorts in New York under Midnight Opening Price
🔴🟢: Shorts in London under Midnight Opening Price, Longs in New York under Midnight Opening Price
Reminder: NEVER rely solely on DTCC, DTCC can be wrong and is not right 100% of times.
ICT Institutional Order Flow (fadi)ICT Institutional Order Flow indicator is intended to provide wholistic view to better analyze order flow and where price may go to next. The concept follows ICT principles.
ICT Market Structure
ICT breaks down Pivot points into three categories:
Short Term High/Low (STH/STL) is a 3 candle pattern with a low with higher low on each side (STL), or a high with lower high on each side (STH)
Intermediate Term High/Low (ITH/ITL) uses the calculated STH/STL and marks any STH that has lower or STH on each side, and STL that has higher STL on each side
Long Term High/Low (LTH/LTL) uses the calculated ITH/ITL and marks any ITH that has lower or ITH on each side, and ITL that has higher ITL on each side
Note: ICT also states that if a STH wicks into and closes (almost?) a FVG, he marks it as ITH even if it does not have STH on reach side. This scenario is not covered by this indicator
Liquidity
liquidity is usually present under pivot points. The more prominent the pivot point, the more likely higher values liquidity pools reside under/above it. Liquidity under ITL and LTL as an example, will have better indication of which liquidity the price may seek next.
Displacement
Displacement registers above average move in the price resulting in strong visible move. If requiring a FVG is enabled (in settings), then the displacement could possibly (but never guaranteed) be used to visually recognize a move as it develops.
Full Credit: The calculation for Displacement is derived from TFO's Visualizing Displacement
Imbalances
Imbalances can come in different forms. This indicator identifies three type of imbalances:
1. FVG
2. Volume Imbalance
3. Open Gaps
Imbalances completes the picture by help visualize strong moves, where possible pivot points may develop, and how to enter or manage a trade.
SMT @joshuuuSmart Money Tool / Smart Money Technique is a concept taught by ICT (The InnerCircleTrader).
It compares correlated assets and if the correlation gets disrupted, we call it a smt divergence.
Correlated assets are for example the nasdaq, the sp500 and the dow.
A bullish scenario would be if one of those three makes a lower low and the other two make a higher low. In this case, that would form a divergence.
Another example would be the dxy (dollar-index), the eurusd and gbpusd. what's special about dxy compared to eurusd or gbpusd, is that dxy is inversely correlated to eurusd and gbpusd.
For inversely correlated assets the script has the option to inverse symbols.
Besides the option to inverse symbols, the script is also able to track smts between the two other symbols, that are not on the current chart and it's possible to filter smts only for certain time periods.
Options for those time periods are
ICT Killzones (all mentioned times are in ny time)
London Killzone : 0200-0500
forex:
NewYork Killzone : 0700-1000
indices:
NYAM Killzone : 0830-1100
NYPM Killzone : 1330-1600
ICTs Index SMT Times
AM - 0500-0930
PM - 1200-1500
To detect smts, the script compares swing highs with previous swing highs and swing lows with previous swing lows on all three symbols. To determine swing points, the user is able to input the amount of
candles to detect swing points, usually 1-3 is enough.

PURPOSE INDICATOR & UNIQUENESS
The concepts used in this indicator are widely variated from teachings by 'The Inner Circle Trader' the purpose of this indicator is to give the 'ICT community' the
resourse to automate the visualization of the daily ranges in New York Time. The highs and lows from 00:00 - 00:00 [New York Time) will be horizontally plotted along
with vertical daily dividers. The indicator solves the struggle of having Tradingview's editor's 'normal' daily highs and lows which opens at 05.00 PM New York Time.
The indicator has flexible settings, so you can enable/disable whatever feature you'd like to have displayed. There is no other indicator which will give you the
daily range in New York Time. The previous daily range percentiles in new york time are the 25%, 50%, and 75% levels measured from the previous daily range
high and low , they are extended to the current day, this to measure whether price is in a premium or discount, and to converge it with PD Array's.
This feature alone, is nowhere to be seen... The concept of dividing daily ranges starting from 00.00 New York Time brought by ICT, can open a whole new world to
reading price action. This indicator enables it to plot these levels out automatically, without worrying about the 'normal daily open' at 05.00 PM New York Time.
The other features in the indicator such as TGIF, Weekly Range, 5ADR, Midnight Open, and more are mainly build to give you an intraweek perspective about
the behaviour of price action during specific times and 'time' levels, such as the opening price at midnight or the previous daily equilibrium .
TIMEFRAME & MARKETS
Since this indicator is made with the purpose of giving you an intra-week perspective, the author of this script would advice you to use anything in between
the '15m-1h' timeframe. The indicator is made mainly for Forex Pairs, however feel free to use it on other markets too.
WHAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF THIS INDICATOR
As the name tells you 'ICT Playbook'; it's a playbook of concepts by ICT for you to 'play around' with, so for study and educational purposes. This indicator IS NOT
a trading system, or a signal provider. Nor is it a roadmap of what's happening to the markets... Without a background in ICT his lectures, you won't have any idea
what kind of value this indicator provides. You will only understand this indicator if you are an intermediate ICT student.
FEATURES INSTRUCTION
1. New York Daily Ranges: This feature will plot 2 horizontal lines each day starting from 00.00 , 1 placed at the low and 1 placed at the high.
It will also plot vertical dividers in between. The line color and style are adjustable in the settings.
2. Time Window: This feature will plot a colored and transparent background to highlight the 08:00-12:00 New York Time window, which is often a time window
where a lot of volume enters the market. The 8.30-9.30 is extra highlighted, cause of the news embargo's and equities open will often bring 'Manipulation'.
3. New York Day of Week Divider: Will plot the names of the days above the chart
4. Weekly high/low + EQ: This feature will plot the current low and high of the week. Also, it will plot the EQ, which stands for the 'Equilibrium' of the weekly range
.
5. TGIF: 'Thank God It's Friday'; a concept of ICT where if we had consecutive up-days/down-days it will plot the 20%-30% of the weekly range .
6. Monday + Thursday Range Extended: ICT explained algorithmic principles coupled to these days. For example: "In a bullish week we can use Monday's high as support".
7. Weekly Open: Opening price of the weekly candle.
8. Midnight Open: Opening price of New York Midnight / True Day Open.
9. Previous Daily Range Percentiles: 25%, 50%, and 75% levels extended of the previous daily range .
10. ADR: 'Average Daily Range', the average range of 5 daily candles, the current daily range, and the previous daily range plotted in a table.

HTF Liquidity Dashboard [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to server as a multi-symbol scanner that indicates when user-defined symbols have exceeded their previous Day/Week/Month highs and lows.
By default, the dashboard will use a compact view where the green ✔ means that price has swept and is currently exceeding the level of interest, the red ❌ implies that price swept the level but reversed back into the original range, and - indicates that the level hasn't been reached. However, the dashboard text can be toggled to show the numerical values of the highs and lows instead of these compact strings, as shown in the following image.
These levels may be shown and customized on the current chart as well via the Show Levels option. By default, levels from the selected timeframes will initially be plotted as black, and will change to red once traded through. Users can optionally increase the Session Limit parameter to show more than one previous high/low on their chart, for each selected timeframe.
Optionally, we can also plot labels to show when any of the user-defined symbols have exceeded their respective highs and lows, for any of the selected timeframes. Alerts can be created for these events as well; simply select the desired symbols and timeframes, create a new alert using this indicator, and you should be alerted when highs and lows are traded through. Note: if you encounter any issues with duplicate alerts, try deleting the alert, navigating to a lower timeframe such as the 1m, and making a new alert.
ICT Friday's Asian Range°This concept was engineered and taught by the Inner Circle Trader .
The goal of this script is to outline a potential draw on liquidity for the next trading week. It gives a parameter for ICT PD Arrays to be located above and below the marketplace and should be used in conjunction with the higher Timeframe Arrays as defined by ICT.
If there is a higher Timeframe array with a standard deviation confluence of the Friday Asian Range it is considered high probability for price to reach up/down to that level, and present a potential retracement or reversal.
The Asian Range is defined as the window of Time between 7PM to Midnight New York Time. In this case we will be only using the Friday's Asian Range which will take place on Thursday between these Times.
We have two ranges: a Body range made of the highest and lowest candle bodies, and a Wick range made by the highest and lowest candle wicks.
ICT teaches that we only want to apply this concept to the 5minute and 15minute chart.
THIS SCRIPT WILL NOT WORK ON ANY OTHER TIMEFRAME OUT OF THE BOX
Framework:
Visualization:
Example:
Liquidity Voids (FVG) [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Voids (FVG) indicator is designed to detect liquidity voids/imbalances derived from the fair value gaps and highlight the distribution of the liquidity voids at specific price levels.
Fair value gaps and liquidity voids are both indicators of sell-side and buy-side imbalance in trading. The only difference is how they are represented in the trading chart. Liquidity voids occur when the price moves sharply in one direction forming long-range candles that have little trading activity, whilst a fair value is a gap in price.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidity can help you to determine where the price is likely to head next. In conjunction with higher timeframe market structure, and supply and demand, liquidity can give you insights into potential price movement. It's essential to practice using liquidity alongside trend analysis and supply and demand to read market conditions effectively.
The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up. And by “filling”, we mean the price returns to the origin of the gap. The reason for this is that during the gap, an imbalance is created in the asset that has to be made up for. The erasure of this gap is what we call the filling of the void. And while some voids waste no time in filling, some others take multiple periods before they get filled.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and detects the liquidity voids based on them, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.
🔹 Liquidity Detection
Liquidity Voids Threshold: Act as a filter while detecting the Liquidity Voids. When set to 0 basically means no filtering is applied, increasing the value causes the script to check the width of the void compared to a fixed-length ATR value
Bullish: Color customization option for Bullish Liquidity Voids
Bearish: Color customization option for Bearish Liquidity Voids
Labels: Toggles the visibility of the Liquidity Void label
Filled Liquidity Voids: Toggles the visibility of the Filled Liquidity Voids
🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization
# Bars: Lookback length customization, in case Mode is set to Present

Opening Range Gap + Std Dev [starclique]The ICT Opening Range Gap is a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader and is discussed in the videos: 'One Trading Setup For Life' and 2023 ICT Mentorship - Opening Range Gap Repricing Macro
ORGs, or Opening Range Gaps, are gaps that form only on the Regular Trading Hours chart.
The Regular Trading Hours gap occurs between 16:15 PM - 9:29 AM EST (UTC-4)
These times are considered overnight trading, so it is useful to filter the PA (price action) formed there.
The RTH option is only available for futures contracts and continuous futures from CME Group.
To change your chart to RTH, first things first, make sure you’re looking at a futures contract for an asset class, then on the bottom right of your chart, you’ll see ETH (by default) - Click on that, and change it to RTH.
Now your charts are filtering the price action that happened overnight.
To draw out your gap, use the Close of the 4:14 PM candle and the open of the 9:30 AM candle.
How is this concept useful?
Well, It can be used in many ways.

How To Use The ORG
One of the ways you can use the opening range gap is simply as support and resistance
If we extend out the ORG from the example above, we can see that there is a clean retest of the opening range gap high after breaking structure to the upside and showing acceptance outside of the gap after consolidating within it.
The ORG High (4:14 Candle Close in this case) was used as support.
We then see an expansion to the upside.
Another way to implement the ORG is by using it as a draw on liquidity (magnet for price)
In this example, if we looked to the left, there was a huge ORG to the downside, leaving a massive gap.
The market will want to rebalance that gap during the regular trading hours.
The market rallies higher, rejects, comes down to clear the current days ORG low, then closes.
That is one example of how you can combine liquidity & ICT market structure concepts with Opening Range Gaps to create a story in the charts.
Now let’s discuss standard deviations.
---
Standard Deviations
Standard Deviations are essentially projection levels for ranges / POIs (Point of Interests)
By this I mean, if you have a range, and you would like to see where it could potentially expand to, you’d place your fibonacci retracement tool on and high and low of the range, then use extension levels to find specific price points where price might reject from.
Since 0 and 1 are your Range High and Low respectively, your projection levels would be something like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, for the extension from your 1 Fib Level, and -0.5, -1, -1.5, and -2 for your 0 Fib level.
The -1 and 2 level produce a 1:1 projection of your range low and high, meaning, if you expect price to expand as much as it did from the range low to range high, then you can project a -1 and 2 on your Fib, and it would show you what ICT calls “symmetrical price”
Now, how are standard deviations relevant here?
Well, if you’ve been paying attention to ICT’s recent videos, you would’ve caught that he’s recently started using Standard Deviation levels on breakers.
So my brain got going while watching his video on ORGs, and I decided to place the fib on the ORG high and low and see what it’d produce.
The results were very interesting.
Using this same example, if we place our fib on the ORG High and Low, and add some projection levels, we can see that we rejected right at the -2 Standard Deviation Level.
---
You can see that I also marked out the EQ (Equilibrium, 50%, 0.5 of Fib) of the ORG. This is because we can use this level as a take profit level if we’re using an old ORG as our draw.
In days like these, where the gap formed was within a consolidation, and it continued to consolidate within the ORG zone that we extended, we can use the EQ in the same way we’d use an EQ for a range.
If it’s showing acceptance above the EQ, we are bullish, and expect the high of the ORG to be tapped, and vice versa.
---
Using The Indicator
Here’s where our indicator comes in play.
To avoid having to do all this work of zooming in and marking out the close and open of the respective ORG candles, we created the Opening Range Gap + Standard Deviations Indicator, with the help of our dedicated Star Clique coder, a1tmaniac.
With the ORG + STD DEV indicator, you will be able to view ORG’s and their projections on the ETH (Electronic Trading Hours) chart.

ICT - NY Session Open + Daily High/Low Markers [1m Chart]For ICT lovers, this marks the swing low, swing high of NY opening so you can scalp the open.
Average Range Levels [Pro+]Description:
The Average Range Levels builds on the concepts of ADR projections showcased in its lite version.
Average Daily Range (ADR) is a common metric used to measure volatility in an asset. It calculates the average difference between the highest and lowest price over a time interval – normally five days.
The Inner Circle Trader teaches the importance of this metric from an algorithmic point of view; in particular the 1/3ADR price level is deemed to be a threshold used to determine the area at which a Judas Swing – false move to trick market participants, protraction, manipulation – might exhaust.
Another key difference in the ICT-use of this metric compared to the classic approach is that the average range is calculated from New York midnight Time, rather than the daily candle's open.
This exact concept was upscaled to higher Timeframe fractals obtaining the Average Weekly Range (AWR) and the Average Monthly Range (AMR). The latter two metrics are anchored at the first Monday’s midnight (New York Time) of the respective interval – however they also have the option to be anchored at the True Week Open (Tuesday’s Daily Open) and True Month Open (Second Week Open).
It is crucial to remember that the elements of Time are key when it comes to interpreting how price action will, or won't, react to these levels: what Time of the day is it? what day of the week? what week of the month?
If one thinks about the Power of Three of a candle (Accumulation, Manipulation Distribution), it is highly unlikely that a Manipulation event will happen later in the candle’s development – seeing the 1/3ADR hold in London session or New York open, seeing the 1/3AWR hold on Tuesday or Wednesday, or seeing price race to the 1/3AMR early on in the month gives undeniable edge to an Analyst.
Apart from the 1/3 level seen from a Judas perspective, the opposing 1/3 level, and the full AR projections, are excellent algorithmic levels at which we will see orderflow or reactions worth studying. These can be take profit targets, reversal opportunities, pyramid entries, …
Last but not least, the tool is equipped with a Data Table. You have a clear narrative but you are unsure of when price will expand? Track the previous 5 ARs and the current Range for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly – the smaller the AR the higher the chance for an expansion, the larger the AR the higher the chance for a consolidation.

In the Idea below, you can see how INDEX:BTCUSD hit the 1/3AMR level at the end of the second week of the month. The subsequent rejection from this level suggests we might have witnessed a Judas Swing, hence we flip to bullish bias.
In the more recent AWR levels, we can see how price did not touch any level until friday – this is a consolidation week with low probability setups. This was expected, if one looks at the precious two week's ranges and respective average ranges in the Data Table: both breached the AR value, due to to the great expansion higher.
Lastly for the ADR levels we can see how the Judas higher got beautifully stopped at the 1/3 level, and the full ADR level on the opposite side catches price while it falls.

Smart money means the funds invested by large financial institutions such as banks, institutional traders/investors, market makers, hedge funds etc. contrary to retail traders/investors' money.
It is important to note that there is no proof or evidence that those institutions move the market as described in Smart Money Concepts.
Personally speaking, it is one of the interpretation of the market and another angle to view the market just like other technical analysis methodologies such as Elliott Wave Principle, Gann Theory, Wyckoff Method and even traditional price action trading.
Importance of MTF Analysis
MTF analysis(a.k.a Topdown analysis) is the foundation to technically analyze charts and the most fundamental skill in trading because lower timeframes are always influenced by upper timeframes where large financial institutions operate.
How to use
This indicator is designed to help traders analyze how the market moves in terms of SMC and price action with multi-timeframes and color visualization of the market structures, which makes this indicator unique and different from other indicators.
There is two key settings that you can use based on your trading style.
1.Upper timeframe selection
You have two options to determine upper timeframe; Auto mode and Manual mode.
When Auto mode selected, upper timeframe will be determined based on chart timeframe as follows.
Chart timeframe => Upper timeframe
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
If you select Manual mode, you can fix an upper timeframe.
2.High/low settings
This affects all other settings of the indicator and most importantly designs the market structure.
This is the key setting to determine how you view the market as price action trading is all about highs and lows and story of how highs and lows have been created with the market structure.
You can specify left bars and right bars to identify swing highs/lows and these highs/lows become the basis to design the market structure and determine how SMC elements are displayed.
Example:
Left bar&right bar: 10
You can see bigger wave(magenta line) in the market structure(stepped line).
(Magenta line is a drawn object by manual)
Left bar&right bar: 4
With this setting, you can see smaller wave in the market structure.
Since market moves like wave as there is a lot of wave theories in financial investment/trading industry such as Elliott wave, Wolf wave etc., users can define market structure with this setting depending on what degree of wave they aim to trade.
Functions:
MTF Order Block
Concept
Order block is a block of orders where buying orders and selling orders are accumulated. Order blocks are created when the institutions move the market up and down, temporality placing orders in an opposite direction to the way they want to move, in order to match their own orders with counter-orders.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's order blocks and upper timeframe's order blocks(MTF).
You can also select from two options how to display order blocks;
1. Show all order blocks
2. Show strong order blocks only
Note: Strong order blocks mean order blocks created at strong highs/lows. See also strong high/low below.
Alerts can be set when prices reach strong order blocks.
MTF Fair Value Gap(FVG)/Imbalance
Concept
Fair Value Gap(FVG)(Imbalance) is a void generated among three consecutive candlesticks.
FVG(s) is created when the market moves so rapidly generating buy side or sell side order imbalances.
FVG(s) is characterized by price action that prices tend to come back to the area where FVG(s) exists, filling in the space among the candlesticks.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's FVG and upper timeframe's FVG.
MTF Liquidity Grab
Concept
Liquidity grab is price action to sweep liquidity for the institutions to move the market.
This price action often happens because the size of their orders is so huge and they need a bunch of counter-orders to match their orders. This is why prices sometimes come to areas where liquidity rest and swipe them before the market goes up/down.
Liquidity visualization
Where does liquidity rest?
The answer is above highs(buy side liquidity) and below lows(sell side liquidity).
Among all highs and lows, swing highs and lows are where liquidity is accumulated the most because swing highs and lows can be created only by the institutions, therefore massive liquidity is indicated.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays liquidity dots so that users can easily identify where liquidity rests and liquidity grab of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
Alerts can be set when liquidity grab happens.
MTF Strong High/Low
Concept
Strong high/low literally means strong highs and lows among all highs and lows including swing highs and lows.
There is a few different definitions of strong high/low in price action trading and the definition in this indicator is as follows.
Strong high
A high that that breaks higher low or lower low
Strong low
A low that breaks lower high or higher high
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays strong highs and lows of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
MTF Market Structure Visualization
Concept
Market structure is a series of price movement with highs and lows which outlines the way the market directs. It is a basis to see trend occurrence, trend reversal and sideways and analyzing the market structures in multi-timeframes is the most fundamental technical skill in trading/investment.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays market structures of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe and provide color visualization depending on bullish and bearish market structures.
The definition of bullish and bearish market structure is as follows.
Bullish market structure
When a price breaks a Lower High or Higher High
Bearish market structure
When a price breaks a Higher Low or Lower Low
Settings
All the functions above, colors and line settings are parameterized and can be turned on/off depending on users’ needs.

概要
Smart Money Concepts(SMC)およびプライスアクショントレードにおける重要な要素をマルチタイムフレームで表示することのできるインジケーターです。
相場構造(Market structure)をマルチタイムフレームで表示し、相場構造の強弱を色で可視化することができます。
Smart Money Concepts(スマートマネーコンセプト)とは？
Smart Money Concepts(以下SMC) は金融市場がどのように動くかを解釈し、分析し、取引を執行するための相場理論の一つであり、Liquidity(リクイディティ)および機関投資家のオーダーフロー(注文の流れ)に焦点を置いていることが特徴です。
Smart Money(スマートマネー)とは、銀行や機関投資家、マーケットメーカー、ヘッジファンドといった金融機関が動かす資金を意味し、個人投資家の資金と対をなす概念です。
重要な点は、実際に上記の金融機関がSmart Money Conceptsで語られているような相場の動かし方をしているかどうかを証明する明確なエビデンスはないということです。
個人的には、エリオット波動理論やギャン理論、ワイコフ理論、伝統的なプライスアクショントレーディングの方法論と同様に、マーケットの動きを解釈するための一つの方法論であり、マーケットの動きを別の角度から見る枠組みと捉えています。
マルチタイムフレーム(MTF)分析の重要性
MTF分析はチャートをテクニカルに分析する上での基礎であり、トレードにおいて最も重要なスキルです。なぜなら下位のタイムフレームは上記のような金融機関が資金運用を行う上位のタイムフレームの影響を常に受けるためです。
使い方
このインジケーターは、SMCまたはプライスアクショントレードの観点から、トレーダーがマーケットをマルチタイムフレームで分析することを支援するために開発しています。
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)を方向性に応じて色で可視化することができるため、視覚的に相場の構造を判断できることがこのインジケータのユニークな点であり、他のインジケーターと異なる点です。
ユーザーのトレードスタイルに応じて、以下の二つの設定を行うことができます。
1.上位足の決定方法
ユーザーは上位足のタイムフレームを決定するにあたり、AutoモードとManualモードを選択することができます。
Autoモードを選択した場合、上位足はチャートのタイムフレームに応じて以下のように決定されます。
チャートタイムフレーム => 上位足タイムフレーム
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
Manualモードを選択すると上位足のタイムフレームを固定することができます。
2.High/low(高値/安値) 設定
当設定はインジケーターの他の全ての機能に影響し、また最も重要である相場構造の定義に影響します。
当設定はユーザーがマーケットをどのように見るか(=どの程度の粒度)を決定する重要な設定です。なぜならプライスアクショントレードは、高値、安値とそれらが相場構造をどのように構築してきたかの一連の流れを分析することが全てだからです。
ユーザーは相場構造を決定付けるスイングハイ·スイングローを特定するためのバーの本数を設定することができます。ここで設定した内容が、相場構造を定義し、以下で説明するSMCの要素の表示を決定することになります。
例:
Left bar&right bar(左右のバーの数): 10
この場合、ステップラインで示した相場構造の中に大きな波(マゼンタの波)を見ることができます。
(マゼンタのラインは手動で描いたオブジェクト)
Left bar&right bar: 4
この設定では、上記に比べて小さい波を描いていることが確認できます。
相場理論の中にエリオット波動理論やウォルフ波動といった数多くの波動理論があることからわかるように、相場は波として動きます。どの粒度の波を狙うかというトレーダーのスタイルに応じて、設定を変更することができます。
機能
MTFオーダーブロック
コンセプト
オーダーブロックとは買い注文と売り注文が一連となって蓄積されたオーダー(注文)のブロックのことです。
オーダーブロックは機関投資家が相場を動かす際に、本来意図する方向とは一時的に逆に動かすことで、彼ら自身の注文をマッチングさせるための反対注文を発生させることで形成されます。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのオーダーブロックと上位足のオーダーブロックの両方を表示することができます。
また、オーダーブロックの表示オプションとして、
1.全てのオーダーブロックを表示
2.Strong(ストロング)オーダーブロックのみを表示
を選択することが可能です。
注: StrongオーダーブロックはStrong High/Lowで形成されるオーダーブロックを指します。(下記参照)
また、オーダーブロック到達でのアラート設定も可能です。
MTFフェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランス
コンセプト
フェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランスとは連続する3つのローソク足の間に形成される溝(Gap)のことです。
フェアーバリューギャップはマーケットが非常に早く動いたことにより、買いオーダーと売りオーダーの需給バランスが崩れることによって発生します。
フェアーバリューギャップには、価格がフェアーバリューギャップが発生したエリアまで戻ってくる傾向があるという特徴が存在します。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのフェアーバリューギャップと上位足のフェアーバリューギャップの両方を表示することができます。
MTF Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)
コンセプト
Liquidity(リクイディティ)とはマネー、つまり注文です。
Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)とは、機関投資家がマーケットを動かす際にLiquidityを取得するプライスアクションのことを指します。
このプライスアクションは、機関投資家が処理する注文サイズが非常に大きいため、自身の注文を出す際に大量の反対注文を必要とすることからしばしば発生します。
これが、価格がLiquidity(注文)の集まっているエリアに接近し、それら注文をスワイプ(狩り取る)した後に上昇·下落する理由です。
Liquidityの可視化
一般的にLiquidityは高値の上(buy side liquidity)、安値の下(sell side liquidity)に存在します。
全ての高値·安値の中で、スイングハイ·ローがliquidityが最も蓄積されているエリアということができます。なぜならスイングハイ·ローは機関投資家の注文によってのみ形成されるからです。
インジケーターによる表示
ユーザーがLiquidityポイントを簡単に識別できるようにLiquidityをドット表示することが可能です。またチャートタイムフレームと上位足の両方のLiquidity Grabを表示することができます。
Liquidity Grab発生時にアラートも設定可能です。
MTF Strong High/Low(ストロングハイ·ロー)
コンセプト
Strong high/lowは文字通り、強い高値·安値のことを指します。
トレーダーの間でいくつかの異なる定義が存在しますが、当インジケーターでの定義は以下の通りです。
Strong high
Higher low(ハイアーロー) または Lower low(ロワーロー)をブレイクした高値
Strong low
Lower higher (ロワーハイ) または Higher High(ハイアーハイ)をブレイクした安値
インジケーターによる表示
チャートタイムフレーム、上位足のStrong High/Lowを表示することが可能です。
相場構造可視化
コンセプト
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)とは、相場の流れを成り立たせる高値と安値を元にした一連の値動きです。建物における骨組みに該当します。
トレンドの発生、転換、レンジを見極めるための基礎であり、マルチタイムフレームで相場構造を分析することは、投資·トレードにおいて最も重要なテクニカルスキルです。
インジケーターによる表示
チャートタイムフレームと上位足タイムフレーム両方の相場構造を表示することができます。
また、相場構造が強気の状態か弱気の状態かを色で可視化するため、上位足含めた相場の流れを視覚的に判断することが可能です。
相場構造の強弱の定義は以下の通りです。
強気の相場構造(Bullish market structure)
価格がLower HighまたはHigher Highをブレイクしたとき
弱気の相場構造(Bearish market structure)
価格がHigher LowまたはLower Lowをブレイクしたとき
設定
上記の全ての機能は色やライン設定含めパラメーターで設定が可能です。またユーザの必要に応じて表示·非表示を切り替えることができます。
FX4Model° [fx4_living x toodegrees]Introducing the FX4 Model, an advanced automated trading framework designed to optimize your trading positions made by the trader fx4_living. This model integrates the previous day's high and low, and half of that range, to identify premium and discount zones.
The FX4 Model incorporates the ICT Asian range, spanning from 20:00 (New York time) to the midnight open. This period constitutes part of the day's accumulation range, during which a large volume of orders is processed. This implies that the high and low of this range are perceived as crucial liquidity pool zones.
The FX4 Model features a time-based dashboard. This dashboard presents key information such as the close of the previous candle. It also indicates the remaining time before certain significant candle closes (price and time).
With this tool, you gain a robust trading framework that empowers you to capitalize on profitable trading opportunities.
The FX4 accumulation range spans from the previous day's close to 2 AM New York local time. This range is part of the day's accumulation period, during which a lot of orders are triggered. Therefore, the high and the low of this range are seen as vital liquidity pool zones.
The ICT midnight open is marked with a vertical line at 00:00. This refers to the opening price of a financial instrument at midnight New York time. This opening price is significant as it serves as a reference point for trading strategies.
Time-To-Close Dashboard
This outstanding Dashboard displays the Time Frame and its "Time-To-Close".
It shows the Previous Candle Close (Bullish or Bearish).
The Time will appear in Red when there's 5 minutes left before the candle closes.
Previous Day Range (High-Low + 50%)
The previous day's high and low (PD) ranges can be leveraged in your trading strategy for the current day, using them as reference points for potential trading opportunities. The 50% division creates premium and discount zones within the previous day's range. If the price is in the discount zone, you should look for a buy opportunity, whereas if the price is in the premium zone, a sell opportunity should be considered.
FX4 Accumulation Range (High-Low + 50%)
The accumulation range's high and low points provide the most recent liquidity zone for the current day. These points can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities. The 50% division here also creates premium and discount zones within the accumulation range. If the price is in the discount zone, a buy opportunity should be considered, and if the price is in the premium zone, a sell opportunity should be considered.
Other features:
Automatic Time Zone: As the title suggests, the automatic time zone feature means that you'll never need to adjust any GMT or hour settings. Everything updates automatically, even if you don't live on the East Coast of the United States.
Automatic Dark/Light Mode All graphics will automatically adapt their color based on your background. There's no need to tweak any settings; they're designed to provide consistent visuals.
ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize 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
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
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.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.

Liquidity Sweeps and RaidsThis basic script calculates and plots runs on liquidity levels through Raids and Sweeps. When the price violates the 3 fractal level, a raid or sweep occurs. You can use it to automate markup, understand liquidity levels, and reduce human error in your analysis. Additionally, you can set up an alarm to notify you when new sweeps or raids occur. Combine it with your current strategy or try any price action theory you prefer. Essentially, the price always seeks liquidity, so when some of it is taken, it makes sense to look for a reaction and potential reversal. Stay ahead by capitalizing on liquidity insights for potential reversals. Cheers, Cancamurria.
ICT Sessions_One Setup for Life [MK]The script plots the High/Low of the following trading sessions:
London - 02:00-05:00
NY AM - 09:30-12:00
New York Lunch - 12:00-13:30
New York PM - 13:30-16:00
Due to the high level of liquidity (resting orders), highs and lows of these sessions may be used as buy/sell areas and also as profit target areas. Typically, buy orders would be initiated below a session low and sell orders would be initiated above a
session high.
The script also plots 'RTH (Regular Trading Hours) Opening Gaps'. The RTH gaps are drawn from the closing price of regular trading at 16:15 (EST) to the open price of regular trading at 09:30 (EST). Gaps can be areas that traders might anticipate to be filled at some time in the future. A gap 'midline' is available if needed and yesterday RTH close line can be shown and extended to the current bar.
This script is simply a means to draw boxes around certain areas/periods on the charts. It is in no way a trading strategy and users should spend much time to study the concept and should also perform extensive back-testing before taking any trades.
By setting the lookback value to a much higher value then the default of 6, users can utilise the script to perform their own backtesting studies.
The above chart shows the default setup of the indicator. Note that the user has to choose how far (in days) to lookback and draw the sessions/gaps.
It is also possible to show the session high//low lines and extend them to the current bar time. If this is used it is advised to keep the lookback period as low as possible to ensure charts stay clean/uncluttered.
All boxes/lines styles/colors are fully customisable.
ICT Killzones + Pivots [TFO]Designed with the help of TTrades and with inspiration from the ICT Everything indicator by coldbrewrosh, the purpose of this script is to identify ICT Killzones while also storing their highs and lows for future reference, until traded through.
There are 5 Killzones / sessions whose times and labels can all be changed to one's liking. Some prefer slight alterations to traditional ICT Killzones, or use different time windows altogether. Either way, the sessions are fully customizable. The sessions will auto fit to keep track of the highs and lows made during their respective times, and these pivots will be extended until they are invalidated.
There are also 4 optional Open Price lines and 4 vertical Timestamps, where the user can change the time and style of each one as well.
To help maintain a clean chart, we can implement a Cutoff Time where all drawings will stop extending past a certain point. The indicator will apply this logic by default, as it can get messy with multiple drawings starting and stopping throughout the day at different times.
Given the amount of interest I've received about this indicator, I intend to leave it open to suggestions for further improvements. Let me know what you think & what you want to see added!
h/l raid @joshuuuThis indicator shows, when important liquidity pools have been taken out.
Which liquidity pools are important and how should I use them?
The day can be divided into different session. asia, london and new york session, those sessions can be narrowed down even further into killzones, taught by ict.
The times for those killzones are:
Asia - 2000-0000 ny time
London - 0200-0500 ny time
ny am - 0830-1100 ny time
nypm - 13.30-1600 ny time
Highs/Lows that have been created within those killzones (sessions with highest volume) should hold some liquidity.
That's why this indicator displays arrows with different colors to highlight once those highs/lows get taken out.
Additionally, the indicator also shows raids (liquidity grabs) of the previous daily, previous weekly and previous monthly high/low.
All colors are adaptable.
How do I use that indicator for my trading.
Once those important liquidity pools are taken out, we often see a reversal in the marketplace. One can wait for a raid and then watch for a potential market structure shift into the opposite direction to anticipate a reversal.
Note:
It is possible to create alerts for those kind of raids.
Examples:
ES:
Price takes out Asia High (red triangle) and London High (blue triangle). Price then forms a market structure shift (lower low after a series of higher lows) and creates a fair value gap while doing so.
That would be a valid setup. Again, all these are concepts by TheInnerCircleTrader.
EU:
On this EurUsd Chart, we can see, how the triangles (liquidity grabs) can be an early indication for potential reversals.
Asia high and london high has been taken out. market structure shift (light bulb) and then a fairvalue gap.
