CandelaCharts - Unicorn Model

10 Haz

📝 Overview

The Unicorn Model is an advanced indicator that pinpoints high-probability reversal setups based on the ICT Unicorn formation. It uses a zigzag-based structure to detect engineered liquidity grabs followed by sharp displacements in the opposite direction—ideal for fade entries or the start of new trends.

The indicator is enhanced with macro time filters, allowing it to align model detections with key trading sessions and institutional flow windows.



The ICT Unicorn Model is a precision-driven intraday strategy rooted in smart money concepts. It combines time-of-day sensitivity, engineered liquidity runs, and institutional order flow to uncover high-quality trading opportunities.

📦 Features

• Liquidity Levels: Projects forward-looking liquidity zones after a Unicorn model is confirmed, highlighting potential price targets. These zones act as magnet areas where price is likely to be drawn, helping traders manage exits, partials, and re-entries with greater precision.
  
• Unicorn: The Unicorn formation utilizes a smart money framework and a dynamic zigzag detection method to identify engineered liquidity grabs—sharp sweeps of previous highs or lows—followed by impulsive reversals.
  
• Macros: These time-based intervals represent key moments when institutional algorithms are most active, seeking liquidity, rebalancing, or delivering price to key levels like fair value gaps and liquidity pools.
  
• Custom TF Pairing: Choose your preferred combination of entry timeframe and context timeframe. For example, trade 5m setups within a 1h HTF bias, allowing precise alignment of microstructure with broader directional intent.
  
• HTF & LTF PD Arrays: Displays high- and low-timeframe PD Arrays (e.g., Fair Value Gaps, Inversion Fair Value Gaps) that act as zones of interest or rejection, enhancing confluence and risk control.
  
• History: Backtest previous Unicorn setups directly on the chart. Toggle historical models to analyze past behavior, improve your confidence, and fine-tune your trade execution across varying market regimes.
  
• Killzone Filter: Restrict signal generation to specific trading sessions or killzones (e.g., London Open, New York AM). This minimizes false positives in low-volume or overlapping ranges.
  
• Standard Deviation: Dynamically calculates and plots four deviation bands from the model confirmation point. These levels offer insight into stretch targets, volatility bands, and potential mean-reversion zones.
  
• Dashboard: A real-time control panel showing the active model, HTF candle timer, current directional bias, asset name, and session date—offering clarity and fast decision-making at a glance.

💡 Framework

The Unicorn Model analyzes price action by combining key elements to identify high-probability trade setups. It detects liquidity sweeps and uses a zigzag method to spot Breaker Blocks. The model maps PD Arrays like Fair Value Gaps and Inversion FVGs for precision zones, integrates macro time filters for context, and projects forward price targets based on liquidity clusters. Together, these components provide a clear framework to anticipate market trends and optimize entries and exits.

The model incorporates the following timeframe pairing:

• 15s - 5m
  
• 1m - 15m
  
• 1m - 30m
  
• 2m - 20m
  
• 3m - 30m
  
• 3m - 60m
  
• 5m - 1H
  
• 15m - 4H
  
• 15m - 8H
  
• 30m - 9H
  
• 30m - 12H
  
• 1H - 1D
  
• 2H - 2D
  
• 3H - 3D
  
• 4H - 1W
  
• 8H - 2W
  
• 12H - 3W
  
• 1D - 1M
  
• 2D - 2M
  
• 1W - 3M
  
• 2W - 6M
  
• 3W - 9M
  
• 1M - 12M
  

Below are the key components that make up the model:

• Sweep
  
• D-purge
  
• Zigzag (Breaker)
  
• PD Arrays (FVG, IFVG)
  
• Macros
  
• Standard Deviation
  
• Liquidity
  

The Unicorn Model operates through a defined lifecycle that tracks its current stage, helping to assess the validity of potential trade opportunities.

The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:

• Formation (grey)
  
• Invalidation (red)
  
• Success (green)
  

Through the phases of Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can effectively manage positions, minimize risk, and capitalize on the high-probability setups presented by the Unicorn Model.

⚡️ Showcase

The Unicorn Model is an advanced trading framework designed to elevate your market analysis and increase your trading edge. By leveraging smart money concepts and sophisticated pattern detection, it helps you spot key liquidity sweeps, reversal zones, and high-probability setups, enabling more precise entries, exits, and risk management tailored to market structure.

LTF PD Array

LTF PD Arrays are crucial to the Unicorn Model and must align with the Zigzag Breaker for the setup to be considered valid.



HTF PD Array

Higher-Timeframe PD Arrays deliver essential macro context, serving to validate both the direction and momentum of potential reversals.



Timeframe Alignment

Timeframe alignment is a fundamental element of the Unicorn trading model. By integrating multi-timeframe context, the model effectively identifies high-probability models.



Killzone Filters

Filter Unicorn Models according to key market sessions—Asia, London, New York AM, New York Launch, and New York PM—to target periods of high liquidity. This approach improves the accuracy and timing of trade setups by capturing moments when smart money is most active.



Macros

The Unicorn Model uses ICT Macro Times to identify key trading periods when institutional activity is most intense. By syncing setups with these critical windows, the model improves accuracy and provides better context for entries, risk management, and potential reversals.



Gain a trading advantage with the Unicorn Model — your essential tool for clearer insights, smarter decision-making, and more confident trade execution.
