ICT Tool-Kit

ICT TOOL-KIT INDICATOR DESCRIPTION

This toolkit consolidates essential ICT market structure and price action tools into a single, clean indicator. Built for traders focused on session analysis, order block identification, and HTF confirmation through multiple timeframe perspectives.

WHAT IT DOES

The indicator tracks macro session ranges across Asia, London and NY trading hours, identifies fair value gaps at session opens, displays higher timeframe candle structure with Fibonacci retracement levels, and marks sweeps across selected timeframes. Non-RTH activity can be highlighted separately if needed. All tools are designed to operate cleanly alongside price action without cluttering the chart.

SECTION 1: MACRO CYCLES

The macro cycle section displays the high and low range for each trading session. These ranges represent where price moved during each region's primary trading window.

Max Timeframe (minutes)
- Controls which timeframes display the macro ranges
- Set to 5 minutes by default, macros won't show on 15m and higher
- Useful for filtering out higher timeframe noise when trading intraday
- Example: Set to 240 for 4h and below, 1440 for daily and below

Show Asia/London/NY Macro
- Toggle each session on or off
- Asia and London are off by default, NY is on
- Use these toggles based on what your strategy focuses on

Macro Cycles Timeframe
- Leave blank to use your chart's current timeframe
- Or lock to a specific timeframe for consistent range calculations

Range Area Transparency
- Controls how opaque the session boxes are
- Lower value = more visible, higher value = more transparent
- Default at 85 keeps them subtle in the background

Range Outline / Range Label
- Toggle the border of the boxes and the session name label on or off

UTC Offset
- Set your timezone offset from UTC
- Or enable "Use Exchange Timezone" to automatically detect

SECTION 2: FVG GENERAL

First Presented Fair Value Gaps are identified at the open of major sessions. These boxes mark where price moved but left a gap in the structure, creating inefficiency that price often returns to fill.

The indicator searches for FVGs during the NY Open (9:32-10:30), NY PM (1:32-2:30), and Weekly Open (6:02 PM-8:00 PM) windows. Detection is forced to the 1m timeframe for accuracy regardless of your chart timeframe.

Infinite Extension
- When enabled, FVG boxes extend infinitely to the right, following live price
- When disabled, boxes contract to 3 bars for a cleaner look while price moves past them
- Default is off to keep the chart clean

Max Total FVG Boxes
- Limits how many FVG boxes can exist on screen at once
- Default is 3, oldest boxes are deleted when limit is reached

FVG Label Size
- Controls the text size of the FVG labels
- Options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large

NY Open (AM) / NY PM (1:30) / Weekly Open
- Each has its own color settings for the box and label text
- Adjust colors to match your preference or chart theme

SECTION 3: HTF CANDLE WITH FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT

This section displays candle structure from a higher timeframe on your current chart. Useful for understanding the larger move while trading smaller timeframes.

---

FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT

NDOG (Next Day Opening Gap) / Gap Rectangle

The NDOG displays the gap between the previous candle's close and the current candle's open. This highlights where the gap filled or remained unfilled overnight.

- Default is on

NDOG Color
- Controls the color and opacity of the rectangle
- Set to black with 80 transparency by default for clean appearance
