SMC Order Block [Truth Indie]Smart Money Concept (SMC)
For me, SMC is a trading philosophy that stems from those with knowledge and understanding of the structure of the Smart Money group's trading system. It is developed through the observation of price behavior.
SMC is related to the Smart Money group or those entities that can influence the market, such as financial institutions, banks, or funds. Market movements are often driven by market fundamentals or economics. The Smart Money group possesses extensive research data for analyzing the market's fundamentals and has the ability to steer the market in various directions based on market and economic fundamentals at a given time.
The SMC concept is adapted from the ICT concept, and it was developed and shared by The Inner Circle Trader.
I have been studying and trying to understand SMC for some time, and I have many questions I would like to explore. The challenge lies in the fact that different sources of knowledge on this topic often have varying teachings, and my proficiency in the English language is limited. As a result, I haven't had the opportunity to study from the primary source, The Inner Circle Trader.
This indicator was created for the purpose of researching Market Structure and Order Blocks, which are integral parts of the SMC Concept.
The fundamental principle for identifying Order Blocks is as follows:
1.Locate swings that create candlestick imbalances.
2.An imbalance refers to a candlestick that is larger than the preceding one and contains a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
This indicator categorizes Order Blocks into four types, and you are encouraged to customize them to suit your preferences.
OB Type1
1.The closing price of candle has an opposite direction to the candle .
2.Candle has a wick longer than its body, by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a wick longer than candle , by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type1_HTF
-This condition is the same as OB Type1, but it involves analyzing 6 candles instead. This means looking at a larger time frame, twice as big as the original one.
OB Type2
1.The closing price of candle has the opposite direction to candle .
2.Candle has a body larger than its wick by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a body larger than candle by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type2_HTF means observing a larger time frame, specifically twice as big as the previous one.
OB Type3
1.The closing price of candle has the same direction as candle .
2.Candle has a wick longer than its body, by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a wick longer than candle , by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type3_HTF means observing a larger time frame, specifically twice as big as the previous one.
OB Type4
1.The closing price of candle has the same direction as candle .
2.Candle has a body larger than its wick by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a body larger than candle by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type4_HTF is an indicator that involves looking at a larger time frame, specifically twice as big as the original one.
Order Block Setting
1.Click to activate the OB search in different Types.
2.Adjust the body of the candle .
3.Adjust the strength of the candle or the Imbalance candle.
4.You can change the name of OB.
5.Adjust the font size and color.
6.Adjust the color of the OB BOX and History BOX.
7.Adjust the font of OB HTF.
1.It refers to the value of W for a specific candle.
2.It refers to the value of Im for a specific candle.
3.It refers to the values of W and Im in the HTF.
4.For OB Type1 and Type3, a higher W value will search for candles with a larger wick and a smaller body. When the W value is lower, it will search for candles with a smaller wick and a larger body, moving from low to high.
5.For OB Type2 and Type4, a lower W value will search for candles with a smaller wick and a larger body. When the W value is higher, it will search for candles with a larger wick and a smaller body, moving from high to low.
Market Structure
Comprising the process of breaking the price structure, resulting in BOS (Breakout of Structure) or CHoCH (Change of Character High), and creating new High or Low based on the price structure.
1.When the market forms a price structure with High and Low, when the price moves to disrupt the structure in either direction, it will lead to BOS or CHoCH, resulting in a new High or Low. You can adjust the method of breaking the structure using the close, high, or low.
2.When you break the price structure, a High or Low will be formed on one side, and it will lead to an Inducement Swing. When the price moves and collides, it will create a price range of High and Low. You can adjust the method of breaking the structure using the close, high, or low.
3.There is an option for testing Fibonacci (Fibo). Its function is similar to the Inducement Swing. You can adjust the Fibonacci settings.
Premium & Discount Zone
1.The Premium & Discount Zone will appear based on the current price structure. It helps you see the price zones you are interested in.
2.You can adjust the %Premium & Discount as needed.
3.The OB (Order Block) will be displayed when a price structure of High and Low forms within the Premium & Discount Zone. The OB in this indicator is not a recommendation to buy or sell. You need to research and test various conditions before making trading decisions.
Everyone's trading strategies are different, and it comes down to backtesting and selecting the strategy that suits your individual needs. Hopefully, this indicator will assist the TradingView community of traders in their trading endeavors.

neXt Macros - Killzones [cognyto]The MACRO indicator is a valuable tool for traders who want to develop consistency and believe that major macroeconomic events occur at certain times of the day that can affect the market. By showing macro times in advance, allowing alerts to be triggered, and showing previous macros that have occurred, the MACRO indicator provides traders with the information they need to make more informed trading decisions that can be used in conjunction with their own strategies.
What is a MACRO?
A MACRO is a concept introduced by Micheal Huddleston, known as ICT, the -Inner Circle Trader- and he is the one to thank for. It represents some short periods of time during the day that can be used as an advantage for trading due to major economic events, or when the price reaches a certain level of relevance. The indicator is a tool that visually highlights these important periods in advance.
Some of the features of the MACRO indicator are:
The indicator highlights IN ADVANCE the relevant segments of time during the day, known as MACROS. It allows the trader to monitor the price precisely at these times and potentially identify trading opportunities according to his own strategies. All Macro times in the indicator can be modified, enabled or disabled. It is likely that not all MACROS will be relevant to all instruments, so it is recommended that only those relevant to the trader's instrument or market preferences are enabled, disabled or the times adjusted. The News checkbox helps traders to visualise, in a different color, those macros where news are expected to be published and may cause unpredictable high volatility, so it is advisable to have high precautions or as suggested by ICT: "DO NOT TRADE DURING THOSE TIMES OR DAYS !!! " Please note that this feature is optional to be used but certainly has to be updated on a daily basis, since not all days occur the same news events.
In addition to this, it also allows the trader to set the number of minutes that alerts are to be triggered before the start of the next MACRO. This feature allows traders to review, analyse and trade ONLY during MACRO times and prevent them from constantly monitoring the screen. This feature can be of great value to those who need the discipline to gain consistency and only trade when the time is relevant. Please note that the alerts are not triggered by the indicator, this can only be done through TradingView. The checkbox only indicates that the trader wishes to receive alerts of those MACRO times that are enabled. Therefore, it is HIGHLY SUGGESTED to set the alerts in TradingView to the 1 minute timeframe in order to have the required precision for alarming.
Finally, the MACRO indicator also displays previous macros that have occurred in the last few days and with severe settings that allow the trader to precisely implement different strategies. This feature allows traders to back test and analyse the relevance of past macros. By understanding how the market has reacted to similar events in the past, traders can make more informed decisions about how to trade current and future events.
Remember that your cognitive balance is essential and this indicator aims to help you manage your TIME and reduce anxiety by sticking to your rules.
This indicator is for informational purposes only and you should not rely on any information it provides as legal, tax, investment, financial or other advice. Nothing provided by this indicator constitutes a solicitation, recommendation, endorsement or offer by cognyto or any third party service provider to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments in this or any other jurisdiction in which such solicitation or offer would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
Price Action All In One IndicatorIf you are the one who is "Price Action" style & does not want to use many indicators or complex indicators or you are an ICT (The Inner Circle Trader)
student or ICT charter, this simple beautiful All In One Indicator is right for you.
The indicator has the following functions.
TIME ZONE SETTING
The default timezone is New York Time GMT-4, if you leave the time zone setting blank, it will use the symbol timezone. Note that the trading time changes with one hour delay in winter. so if you just trade forex, and leave the time zone setting blank, TradingView will adjust the symbol timezone automatically for you or don't forget to change the timezone setting GMT-4 or GMT-5 depending on daylight saving time.
STATISTIC PANEL
You can choose which panel to show through settings.
Session Info Panel : pips info of ADR, Asian, London, and New York sessions.
Trend Panel : showing trend (up/down) of
5m/15m/1h/4h/D/W time frames (TF)
4MA (default values: SMA with lengths: 20–50–100–200)
Money Management Panel : in trading, money management is very important. Just put the % risk, & stop loss value below, the indicator will calculate a suitable size/amount for each trade.
Size by Lots: input stop loss in pips
Size by Units: input stop loss in % (of price)
(*)Units size is calculated by % stop loss & current bar close price. You have to determine a stop-loss price to convert to % stop loss by yourself.
TIME SEPARATORS
We can choose which time separators we want to display. The indicator has 5 options: Anchor Time/Day/Week/Month/Quarter. Of course, we can choose to show just one or all 5 of them.
With Anchor Time you can choose which time you want to draw a vertical line for better timing analysis. This can show up to 2 Anchor Time lines. The default values are 00:00 (New York Midnight Opening) and 08:30 (New York Session Opening). You also have an option to show the past lines or not.
About Day Separator, cause TradingView has supported Session Breaks in Setting but if you don't like to use it or when enabling, it distracts you, you can use mine. My favorite trading dates are Tuesday & Wednesday.
PRICE LEVELS
For intraday trading, the high/low/close of the previous day, the previous week, ADR (default period is 5) are very important key levels. You can choose which one you like to show for better analysis. Of course, you can change the color & style of the lines. This is also my favorite indicator.
This indicator also has an option to show up to 2 price lines at a specific time, you can choose the price type (high/low/close/open) that you want to display. The default time values are:
Specific Time 1: 0:00. (New York Midnight Opening Price)
Specific Time 2: 8:30 am. (New York Session Opening Price)
ACCUMULATION ZONE
The market tends to reprice the higher/lower to the old high/low or imbalance/fair value price to promote buy/sell stops or to provide smart money pricing for long/short entries. Typically, it redistributes quickly and you must learn to anticipate them at key levels intraday. Weak short/long holders will be squeezed in the retracement.
Except for the open price, the price changes continuously until the closing time, so the accumulation area can also be changed in real-time, but if you combine it with other information when analyzing, you can predict/determine whether the zone has been established or not with high probability. In short, price needs time to be accumulated, I usually don't pay attention to this daily zone till London open/close or New York sessions
Not only daily zone, but the indicator also supports higher timeframes accumulation zone from
SESSION & STD
There are 3 sessions: Asian, London, New York. The default values are below (New York Time).
Asian: 19:00 ~ 00:00
London Open (London KillZone): 01:00 ~ 05:00
New York Open (New York KillZone): 07:00 ~ 10:00
If you do not want to show the label, just leave the label values blank or change them to whatever you want.
This is one of my favorite functions. I use it on 15m, 30m, 1h TF for Forex intraday trading. My favorite trading sessions are London Open & New York Open.
You also can choose to show or not Standard Deviations (STD). The default values are set for Asian Range STD and max STD levels can be shown are 5. I use the following 3 types of STD (New York Time):
CBDR (Central Bank Deviations) STD: 14:00 ~ 20:00
Flout STD: 15:00 ~00:00
Asian Range STD: 19:00 ~ 00:00
LOOKBACK HIGH/LOW/MID
Can show high/low/mid of the data ranges on the daily/4h chart. The default values are:
- 20–40–60 days back from today for daily TF.
- 30–60–90 bars back from the latest bar for 4h TF.
The default anchor bar for calculating the lookback is the latest one but with:
- 4h TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the week.
- Daily TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the month.
The indicator also has options showing the high/low/mid (equilibrium level) lines for better analysis. Especially, on daily TF, we have the option that can show up to 4 lines (25% for each one) of the data range.
Of course, you can change the colors or the style of the high/low/mid lines.
The lookback can be shown on the lower TFs for better detection when the market structure is shifted.
MAGIC BARS
Fractal bar : The bar's color is changed when the divergence occurs between the price & RSI. You can change the RSI period (default value is 14) & RSI source. (open/high/low/close,…)
Imbalance bar or liquidity void or fair value gap - whatever you call it. This is my favorite indicator when trading on all TFs.You can choose to extend the last n imbalance bars if you like in the settings. I make sure I covered all cases of imbalance/fair value gap.
OLD HIGH/LOW
First, this function is not used as the common Support & Resistance that retail traders usually use, so I call it Old High/Low. I usually use it in 2 ways:
Detect the next buy/sell stops that Market Makers aim to manipulate.
Detect whether market structure shifted or not (Break of structure)
In settings you can:
Set the period to detect high/low levels, the default value is 10. My other favorite values are 6 & 2.
On a lower time frame, you might want to set it to a large number to remove noise.
On a higher time frame, a small number is enough, I think.
Choose the numbers of the last lines you want to show on your chart.
Of course, the style of lines can be changed easily.
TRENDLINES
A very simple trendline with default pivot left strength is 10.
By default, trendline uses high/low price but you have the "Using close price" option.
LINEAR REGRESSION CHANNEL
The Linear Regression Channel is a three-line technical indicator used to analyze the upper and lower limits of an existing trend. It is a statistical tool used to predict the future from past data and is used to determine trend direction or when prices may be overextended.
You can choose
To fill the background or not
To show inner/outer lines or not
To change the colors/line styles of upper zone, lower zone, upper lines, lower lines, midline
DIRECTION BOX
Working on all TFs, this looks like the same with lookback function but if you would like to display them in a box for easily focusing/comparing with other symbols or for detecting divergence in a specific period. The indicator also has a setting to show or hide lines connecting between lows or highs.
Another example of how I use High/Low connecting lines to detect divergence between S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.
ZIG ZAG
Can show up to 2 ZigZag lines.
This is suitable for traders who have difficulty in detecting key levels (recent high/low) of the prices to confirm market structure or just for drawing Fibonacci easily at those levels.
MA (Moving Average)
I believe that this is one of the most used indicators for every trader. There are 5 types of MA to choose from: EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA(RMA).
This can show up to 4 MAs. You can choose the source (close/high/low,…) for each one. My favorite values are 34 & 89 EMA.
This indicator also supports MA Bands. You can select which MA you want to display the bands, and the "width" of the bands can be changed via the settings.
WATERMARK
It's just a simple function but I think it's very useful for those who want to add Copyright info to the chart, to prevent others from copying it.
Others/known issues/limitations
In forex or stock (things that are traded only on weekdays), TradingView's does not include the latest bars till Monday so the Day Separator cannot fill that space. Because TradingView deals with those bars as Sunday's ones so I set the color of Sunday the same as Friday for good UI/UX. On Crypto charts, the indicator shows without problems.
If you see "Internal server study error", please try closing the current TradingView tab in your browser and reopening it in a new tab. The error will disappear.
Because TradingView does not provide any detailed error information when such "general error" occurs. It's very difficult to detect which function is causing this error or is there something that caused TradingView "overloaded" through a long time running/loading on that tab? Honestly, I don't know exactly the cause, but in my experience, this error often occurs in the following cases:
When you have the TradingView Tab open for hours. In my case, I usually leave TradingView tab open overnight & when I come back the next day, this error might appear. (I'm a Mac user & I almost never shut down my Mac)
When you change settings too many times, especially settings of drawing objects like line width in a using session, it might cause this error.
So, after changing the setting or when you come back for the next trade, please save & close that TradingView tab, and then open a new one, everything will work fine.
You can see the images below that show I have tested my indicator from 1-minute time frame, enabled all functions, change every setting to max values & everything still works fine.
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
Risk Management: Only trade when signal appears - no guessing or early entries
💡 Why It Works:
This indicator combines ICT's most powerful concepts (market structure, FVGs, order blocks, optimal retracements) into one confluence-based system. It only signals when institutional money is likely moving, giving you the highest probability entries with minimal noise.
Perfect for: Swing traders, day traders, and anyone wanting clean, high-probability ICT signals without chart clutter.

IFVG by Toño# IFVG by Toño - Pine Script Indicator
## Overview
This Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)** on trading charts. It provides advanced analysis of price inefficiencies and their subsequent inversions when mitigated.
## Key Features
### 1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
- **Bullish FVG**: Detected when `low > high ` (gap between current low and high of 2 bars ago)
- **Bearish FVG**: Detected when `high < low ` (gap between current high and low of 2 bars ago)
- Visual representation using colored rectangles (green for bullish, red for bearish)
### 2. Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Creation
- **IFVG Formation**: When a FVG gets mitigated (price fills the gap with candle body), an IFVG is created
- **Color Inversion**: The IFVG takes the opposite color of the original FVG
- Mitigated bullish FVG → Creates red (bearish) IFVG
- Mitigated bearish FVG → Creates green (bullish) IFVG
- **Mitigation Logic**: Uses only candle body (not wicks) to determine when a FVG is filled
### 3. Customizable Display Options
- **Show Normal FVG**: Toggle visibility of regular Fair Value Gaps
- **Show IFVG**: Toggle visibility of Inverted Fair Value Gaps
- **Smart FVG Display**: Even when "Show Normal FVG" is disabled, FVGs that are part of IFVGs remain visible
- **Extension Control**: Option to extend FVGs until they are mitigated
### 4. IFVG Extension Methods
- **Full Cross Method**: IFVG remains active until price completely crosses through it (including wicks)
- **Number of Bars Method**: IFVG remains active for a specified number of bars (1-100)
### 5. Visual Mitigation Signals
- **Cross Markers**: Shows X-shaped markers when IFVGs are mitigated
- Green cross above bar: Bearish IFVG mitigated
- Red cross below bar: Bullish IFVG mitigated
### 6. Comprehensive Alert System
- **IFVG Formation Alerts**: Notifications when new IFVGs are created
- **IFVG Mitigation Alerts**: Notifications when IFVGs are filled/mitigated
- **Separate Controls**: Individual toggles for bullish and bearish IFVG alerts
## How It Works
### Step-by-Step Process:
1. **FVG Detection**: Script continuously scans for 3-bar patterns that create price gaps
2. **FVG Tracking**: Each FVG is stored with its coordinates, type, and status
3. **Mitigation Monitoring**: Script watches for candle bodies that fill the FVG
4. **IFVG Creation**: Upon mitigation, creates an IFVG with opposite polarity at the same location
5. **IFVG Management**: Tracks and extends IFVGs according to chosen method
6. **Visual Updates**: Dynamically updates colors and visibility based on user settings
## Use Cases
- **Support/Resistance Analysis**: IFVGs often act as strong support/resistance levels
- **Market Structure Understanding**: Helps identify how market inefficiencies get filled and reversed
- **Entry/Exit Timing**: Can be used to time entries around IFVG formations or mitigations

PreviousDayHLEQCME_MINI:NQ1!
Indicator Overview: The "PreviousDayHLEQ" indicator is an essential tool for traders employing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, designed to plot the High (H), Low (L), Equilibrium (EQ, the midpoint between high and low), and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) levels at 61.8%, 70%, and 79% of the previous trading day's range. It provides a clear visual reference for potential support, resistance, and entry zones based on the prior day's price action, helping traders anticipate continuations or reversals in the current day. This indicator stands out by incorporating directional OTE auto-detection, adjusting levels based on whether the previous day formed a new high or low relative to the day before, offering insights into market bias without manual recalculation.
Core Functionality: It tracks and displays the previous day's high and low, calculating the EQ as the average for balance points, and OTE levels as percentage retracements of the range. The script uses a user-defined trading day definition (with timezone support) to accurately capture the day's extremes, ensuring alignment with global market sessions. This core setup allows traders to quickly identify key ICT levels like fair value gaps or liquidity pools from the prior day.
Unique OTE Auto Detection: One of the indicator's most innovative features is its automatic detection of OTE direction. If the previous day made a new high compared to the day before, OTE levels are calculated downward from the high to the low (bearish bias), highlighting potential short entries. Conversely, a new low triggers upward OTE levels from the low to the high (bullish bias), signaling long opportunities. This auto-detection is unique, as it dynamically adapts to historical price expansion without user input, a capability not found in standard previous day indicators that typically use fixed directions. It empowers ICT traders to gauge carry-over momentum from the prior day, such as in scenarios where a bullish expansion suggests buying dips to the 61.8% level.
Directional Bias Indication: Beyond plotting levels, the OTE calculation inherently indicates the previous day's bias (expansion upward or downward), providing context for current day trades. This unique bias detection helps traders align with market structure, e.g., favoring shorts if OTE is downward-oriented, enhancing decision-making in ICT frameworks like order block identification.
Left-Side Trimming Innovation: The indicator includes a highly unique left-side trimming option, allowing users to restrict the historical extension of lines to a specified number of bars (e.g., the last 8 bars). This reduces visual clutter on charts with long history, focusing attention on recent and relevant price action—a feature rarely seen in previous day indicators, where lines often span the entire chart and obscure current developments. Traders can toggle trimming on/off and adjust the bar count, making it ideal for clean, professional setups.
Customization and Visual Controls: Users can fully customize line colors (separate for high, low, EQ, and each OTE level), styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and label properties (text color, background color, transparency, size). This level of granularity ensures the indicator fits any chart theme or strategy, with options to enable/disable individual elements like EQ or OTE for minimalistic views. The stick-right label option keeps labels visible as the chart updates, preventing overlap.
Auto-Deletion at Trading Day End: Levels can be automatically cleared at the indicator's calculated market close (17:00 NY time), a unique feature that prevents accumulation of outdated data, keeping the chart fresh for the next day. This is particularly useful for day traders who reset their setups daily.
No External Dependencies: The indicator operates solely on chart price data using built-in Pine Script functions, ensuring reliability and compatibility without needing additional libraries or internet access.
How It Works
Previous Day Data Capture: The script identifies the previous trading day using the user-defined timezone and calculates high, low, EQ, and OTE levels based on that day's range.
OTE Calculation: Levels are computed as percentages of the range, with auto-detection switching direction if a new high/low was made relative to the day before.
Drawing and Trimming: Lines are plotted with user-set padding for extension, and trimming cuts the left side to focus on current action.
Update Mechanism: Levels update in real-time as the previous day's data is fixed, but the script refreshes on chart reloads or new days.
Deletion Logic: At market close, if auto-delete is enabled, all elements are removed to prepare for the next cycle.
Uniqueness and Innovation
Session OTE Auto Detection: Automatically determines OTE direction based on previous day's high/low expansion, a rare feature that provides bias insights not available in basic previous day high/low indicators, aiding ICT traders in identifying entry zones with market context.
Left-Side Trimming: This innovation allows customizable historical line length, solving chart clutter issues unique to previous day indicators that typically show full history, enhancing usability for live trading.
Directional OTE with Multi-Level Support: Combines auto-bias detection with three OTE percentages (61.8%, 70%, 79%), offering more granular entry options than single-level tools, tailored for ICT's focus on range retracements.
Independent Customization per Element: Separate controls for high, low, EQ, and OTE colors/styles, plus transparency and size, provide unmatched flexibility compared to rigid indicators.
Auto-Deletion for Cleanliness: Unique cleanup at market close prevents level buildup, a practical feature for multi-day analysis not commonly implemented in similar tools.
How to Use It
Setup: Add to chart, configure timezone (e.g., "America/New_York"), and enable the indicator.
Customization: Adjust line colors (e.g., blue for high), styles (dashed for OTE), and enable trimming (8 bars for focus).
Interpretation: Use OTE for entries (e.g., buy at 61.8% in bullish bias); EQ for reversion.
Tips: Test on historical data; combine with ICT concepts like CISD, FVG etc.
This indicator elevates ICT trading with its auto-detection and trimming. Use with risk management; trading carries risk
Trading Macro Windows by BW v2
Trading Macros by BW: Integrating ICT Concepts for Session Analysis
This indicator combines two key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts—Change in State of Delivery (CISD) or Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) signals with Macro Time Windows—to provide a unified tool for analyzing intraday price action, particularly during Pacific Time (PT) sessions. Rather than simply merging existing scripts, this integration creates a cohesive visual framework that highlights how macro consolidation periods interact with potential reversal or continuation signals like CISD or IFVG. By overlaying macro candle styling and borders on the chart alongside selectable signal lines, traders can better contextualize setups within ICT's macro narrative, where price often manipulates liquidity during these windows before displacing toward higher-timeframe objectives.
Core Components and How They Work Together:
Macro Time Windows (Inspired by ICT's Macro Periods):
ICT emphasizes "macro" as 30-minute windows (e.g., 06:45–07:15 PT, 07:45–08:15 PT, up to 11:45–12:15 PT) where price tends to consolidate, sweep liquidity, or form key structures like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These periods set the stage for the session's directional bias.
The indicator styles candles within these windows using a user-defined color for wicks, borders, and bodies (translucent for visibility). This visual emphasis helps traders focus on activity inside macros, where reversals or continuations often originate.
Borders are drawn as vertical lines at the start and end of each window (with a +5 minute buffer to capture related activity), using a dotted style by default. This creates a "study zone" that encapsulates macro events, allowing traders to assess if price is respecting or violating these zones in alignment with broader ICT models like the Power of 3 (AMD cycle).
Toggle: "Macro Candles Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to disable styling and borders if focusing solely on signals.
CISD or IFVG Signals (Selectable Mode):
Mode Selection: Choose between "Change in the State of Delivery" (CISD) or "IFVG" (default: IFVG). Both detect shifts in market delivery during specific 30-minute slices (15–45 or 17–45 minutes past the hour in PT sessions).
CISD Mode: Based on ICT's definition of a sudden directional shift, this identifies aggressive displacements after sweeping recent highs/lows. It uses a rolling reference high/low over 6 bars, checks for sweeps (penetrating by at least 2 ticks in the last 2-3 bars), reclamation (closing beyond the reference with at least 50% body), and displacement (50% of prior range or an immediate FVG of 6+ ticks). Signals plot a horizontal line from the close, extending 24 bars right, labeled "CISD."
IFVG Mode: Focuses on Inverted Fair Value Gaps, where a bullish FVG (low > high by 13+ ticks) forms but is inverted (closed below) in the same slice, signaling bearish intent (or vice versa). This targets violations against opposing liquidity, often leading to raids on external ranges. Signals plot similarly, labeled "IFVG."
Shared Logic: Both modes enforce a 55-bar cooldown to prevent clustering, operate only during PT sessions (06:30–13:00), and use tick-based thresholds for precision across instruments. The integration with macros allows traders to see if signals occur within or at the edges of macro windows, enhancing confirmation—for example, a CISD inside a macro might indicate a manipulated reversal toward the session's true objective.
Toggle: "Signals Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to hide all signal lines and labels, isolating the macro visualization.
How Components Interact:
Macro windows provide the "narrative context" (consolidation/manipulation), while CISD/IFVG signals detect the "delivery shift" (displacement). Together, they form a mashup that justifies publication: isolated signals can be noisy, but when filtered by macro periods, they align with ICT's session model. For instance, an IFVG inversion during a macro might confirm a liquidity sweep before targeting PD arrays or order blocks.
No external dependencies; all calculations are self-contained using Pine's built-in functions like ta.highest/lowest for references and time-based sessions for windows.
Usage Guidelines:
Apply to intraday charts (e.g., 1-5 min) or stocks during PT hours.
Look for confluence: A bull IFVG signal post-macro low sweep might target the next macro high or daily bias.
Customize colors/styles for signals (solid/dashed/dotted lines) and macros to suit your chart.
Backtest in replay mode to observe how macros frame signals—e.g., price often respects macro borders as S/R.
Limitations: Timezone-fixed to PT (America/Los_Angeles); signals are directional hints, not trade entries. Combine with ICT tools like order blocks or liquidity pools for full setups.
This script draws from community ICT implementations but refines them into a single, purpose-built tool for macro-driven trading, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing interconnected concepts. Feedback welcome!
Time Cycles SMT Detector📊 Overview
The Time Cycles SMT Detector is an advanced indicator designed to identify Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences across multiple time cycles during the New York trading session. It compares price action between correlated instruments to spot institutional footprints and potential market reversals.
🎯 What is SMT (Smart Money Timing)?
SMT occurs when correlated markets fail to make matching highs or lows, indicating potential institutional manipulation or positioning. This divergence often precedes significant market moves.
⚙️ Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Cycle Analysis:
90-minute cycles (6 cycles per trading day) - Major institutional positioning
30-minute cycles (18 cycles per trading day) - Intermediate market structure
10-minute cycles (54 cycles per trading day) - Intraday momentum shifts
3-minute cycles (180 cycles per trading day) - Scalping opportunities
Intelligent Overlap Prevention
Hierarchical priority system prevents visual clutter
Higher timeframe SMTs take precedence over lower timeframes
Clean, readable charts even with multiple active signals
Dual Correlation Analysis
Compare your main chart with two different instruments simultaneously
Default setup: MES1! (S&P 500) and MYM1! (Dow Jones)

PD RTH Range+ [JJumbo]Introduction:
The PD RTH Range+ indicator is a powerful tool designed to visualize and track previous day and previous day's Regular Trading Hours (RTH) ranges for futures markets. This indicator identifies and plots automatically key price levels established during standard US trading hours (9:30 AM - 4:15 PM ET "RTH") and Globex hours, helping traders identify important key levels and fair value zones.
Just like my other time based range indicator "SDRange+" it works around the same idea but with a different context and different ranges in use, range deviations are still a big part in this framework.
Key features:
Range functions and plot modes:
This tool is equipped with two modes "RTH" range and "Previous day" range, which help you visualize previous day's points of interest and swing high and low essentially helping you framing the current day's daily candle in relation to previous day ranges both RTH and previous day.
Projections feature:
The projection feature in the tool also has two plot modes "Fixed" and "Custom", the Fixed mode projections make use of the rule of thirds (just like the SDRange+) but with two areas 0.33-0.66 and 1.33-1.66, here is where most deviations happen and price exhausts above/below the range.
These are your actionable areas to expect price lose momentum and retrace back into the range.
Dynamic Premium&Discount visualization:
This feature will allow you to identify fair value and equilibrium at current price dynamically updating until out projections or levels have been met and and swing high/low has formed, helping you identify the equilibrium of the market at the current state and where premium or discounted prices are.
Automatic First presentation Fair Value Gap:
A concept idea originated from The Inner Circle Trader (ICT), the feature in the indicator will automatically plot the first presented fair value gap (first FVG present of Regular trading hours) dynamically changing time-frame as well, showing the first presented FVG in any time frame you are visualizing.
This can be used as you area of action as well or targets (during RTH hours).
ETH (Eletronic Trading Hours) candles transparency:
This feature is important for define ETH and RTH hours, removing the color out of the the ETH hours candles helping visualize better the RTH hours, which is where you want base your trading day on.
Customizable inputs:
Fully customizable aesthetics in the input menu
How can traders use this framework and tool effectively in their trading:
Trading range sequences:
This framework is based on IF-THEN statements sequences, it will generate your daily bias by following the sequences.
Sequences: EQ > high/low, high/low > EQ,EQ > fixed projections, fixed projections >EQ.
When following these sequences, you will easily find you daily direction, which are also data-backed by statistics (you can see about it in my X profile, you will find the link in my Trading View profile)
Trading retracements/reversals:
Retracements are often taken from the projections areas until Equilibrium of the dynamic premium and discount feature in the indicator, often participating in the moves to fair value from the deviation of the range.
Reversals are often taken from the projections areas until opposing levels of the range (EQ or high/low)

🎯 The Most Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator on TradingView
Transform Your Trading with Institutional-Grade Multi-Timeframe FVG Analysis
Keywords: Multi Timeframe Indicator, MTF FVG, Fair Value Gap, Imbalance Zones, Supply and Demand, Institutional Trading, Order Flow Imbalance, Price Inefficiency, Smart Money Concepts, ICT Concepts, Volume Imbalance, Liquidity Voids, Multi Timeframe Analysis
📊 WHAT IS THIS INDICATOR?
The Multi Timeframe Fair Value Gap Indicator Pro is the most advanced FVG detection system on TradingView, designed to identify high-probability institutional supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This professional-grade tool automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalance zones, liquidity voids, or inefficiency gaps - the exact areas where institutional traders enter and exit positions.
🔍 What Are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps are three-candle price formations that create imbalances in the market structure. These gaps represent areas where buying or selling was so aggressive that price moved too quickly, leaving behind an inefficient zone that price often returns to "fill" or "mitigate." Professional traders use these zones as high-probability entry points.
Bullish FVG: When the low of candle 3 is higher than the high of candle 1

Kill Zone Restriction: Limits signals to London (default: 7-10 AM UTC) and NY (default: 12-3 PM UTC) sessions for better relevance in active markets.
This strategy is inspired by smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies, aiming to capture venom-like "stings" in price action where liquidity is grabbed before reversals.
How It Works
ATR Calculation: Uses a user-defined ATR length (default: 14) to measure volatility, which scales candle body and range thresholds.
Bias Determination:
Auto: Compares daily close to open (bullish if close > open).
Manual: User selects "Bullish" or "Bearish."
Strong Candles:
Bullish: Green candle with body > 2x ATR (configurable).
Bearish: Red candle with body > 2x ATR.
Small Range Candles:
Candles where high-low < 0.5x ATR (configurable).
Liquidity Hunt:
Bullish Hunt: Strong bearish candle making a new low below the past swing low (default: 10 bars).
Bearish Hunt: Strong bullish candle making a new high above the past swing high.
Signal Generation:
After a hunt, counts 1-3 small-range candles.
Confirms with a strong candle in the opposite direction (e.g., strong bullish after bearish hunt).
Resets if >3 small candles or an opposing strong candle appears.
Kill Zone Filter:
Checks if the current bar's time (in UTC) falls within London or NY Kill Zones.
Only allows final "Buy" (bullish entry) or "Sell" (bearish entry) if bias matches and in Kill Zone.
Plots:
Yellow circle (below): Bullish liquidity hunt.
Orange circle (above): Bearish liquidity hunt.
Blue diamond (below): Raw bullish signal.
Purple diamond (above): Raw bearish signal.
Green triangle up ("Buy"): Filtered bullish entry.
Red triangle down ("Sell"): Filtered bearish entry.
Inputs
Bias: "Auto" (default), "Bullish", or "Bearish" – Controls signal direction based on daily trend.
ATR Length: 14 (default) – Period for ATR calculation.
Swing Length for Liquidity Hunt: 10 (default) – Bars to look back for swing highs/lows.
Strong Candle Body Multiplier (x ATR): 2.0 (default) – Threshold for strong candle bodies.
Small Range Multiplier (x ATR): 0.5 (default) – Threshold for small-range candles.
London Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 7/10 (default) – Customize London session hours.
NY Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 12/15 (default) – Customize New York session hours.
Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-15 min) for intraday trading, especially forex pairs like EURUSD or GBPUSD.
Timezone Adjustment: Inputs are in UTC. If your chart is in a different timezone (e.g., EST = UTC-5), adjust hours accordingly (e.g., London: 2-5 AM EST → 7-10 UTC).
Risk Management: Use with stop-loss (e.g., beyond the hunt low/high) and take-profit based on ATR multiples. Not financial advice—backtest thoroughly.
Customization: Tweak multipliers for different assets; higher for volatile cryptos, lower for stocks.
Limitations: Relies on historical data; may generate false signals in ranging markets. Combine with other indicators like volume or support/resistance.

ICT Breaker BlocksICT Breaker Block Detector
This indicator automatically identifies and displays high-probability ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Breaker Blocks on your chart. It is designed to help traders spot key shifts in market structure where price is likely to react.
What It Does
The indicator's primary function is to find and draw both Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks. These are specific price action patterns that signal a potential reversal after a liquidity sweep.
Bullish Breaker Block (Green): Forms after a low is swept (creating a lower low) and the market structure shifts by breaking above the intermediate swing high. This broken swing high becomes the Bullish Breaker.
Bearish Breaker Block (Red): Forms after a high is swept (creating a higher high) and the market structure shifts by breaking below the intermediate swing low. This broken swing low becomes the Bearish Breaker.
Invalidation: The indicator also tracks these zones in real-time. If price trades completely through a breaker block, the zone is considered invalidated. It will stop extending, its color will change to gray, and an exclamation mark ! will be added to its label.
How It Functions
The script's logic is designed to precisely identify the ICT breaker pattern:
Liquidity Sweep: It first identifies a sequence where a recent swing high is taken out by a higher high (for a bearish setup) or a swing low is taken out by a lower low (for a bullish setup).
Market Structure Shift (MSS): After the sweep, it waits for a clear break in market structure. This occurs when price closes below the intermediate swing low (for a bearish breaker) or above the intermediate swing high (for a bullish breaker).
Drawing the Zone: Once the MSS is confirmed, the indicator draws a box around the range of the swing point that was broken. This box is the Breaker Block, which is then extended into the future to serve as a potential area of interest.
How to Use This Indicator
Settings
Pivot Lookback: This setting determines the sensitivity of the swing point detection. A higher number will identify larger, more significant market structure and result in fewer, but potentially stronger, breaker blocks. A lower number will identify smaller, more immediate patterns.
Color & Display Options: You can customize the colors for the bullish, bearish, and invalidated zones, as well as toggle the visibility of each type of breaker.
Trading Application
Traders can use these automatically drawn zones as high-probability Points of Interest (POI). The common application is to wait for price to return to the breaker block after it has formed. This retest can offer a potential entry opportunity in the direction of the market structure shift.
For a Bullish Breaker, a trader might look for a long entry when the price dips back into the green zone.
For a Bearish Breaker, a trader might look for a short entry when the price rallies back up into the red zone.

Multi-Timeframe SMTSummery
The Multi-Timeframe SMT indicator is designed to identify and visualize Higher Timeframe (HTF) data on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart, allowing traders to see the broader market context without changing their current chart's resolution. It accurately draws pivots and SMT divergences from higher timeframes on the corresponding candles of your current lower timeframe chart.
Its core features include:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Configure and monitor pivots on up to four independent timeframes, from intraday to monthly.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Define the strength of pivots by adjusting the number of bars to the left and right.
SMT Divergence: Automatically identifies bullish and bearish SMT divergences by comparing the price action of the main chart symbol with a chosen correlated asset.
Early SMT Detection: A unique feature that monitors a lower "detection timeframe" to provide early warnings of potential SMT setups before they're confirmed on the main timeframe. Note that this early detection is only shown on timeframes equal to or lower than the "Detection timeframe" you have set.
Visual Cues & Alerts: Clear on-chart labels, lines, and fully customizable alerts notify you of confirmed pivots and SMT divergences, ensuring you don't miss key opportunities.
Important Nuance Regarding Pivot Label Display
Due to a self-imposed limit within this script's drawing management logic, the indicator might quickly reach its drawing capacity if you enable pivot crosses for multiple timeframes simultaneously. When this internal drawing limit is exceeded, the script is designed to automatically remove the oldest drawings to make space for new ones.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance and visibility of the most recent and relevant pivots, it's highly recommended to only enable the "Show Pivot Crosses" option for one timeframe at a time. If you wish to view pivots for a different timeframe, simply disable the pivot crosses for the currently active timeframe and then enable them for your desired one. This approach prevents the rapid cycling and disappearance of pivot labels, providing a clearer and more stable visual experience.
In-Depth Explanation of the Logic
This script is built on two primary concepts: pivot points and Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence. It systematically collects historical data on multiple timeframes, identifies pivots, and then compares them between two assets to find divergences.
Pivot Point Identification
A pivot is a turning point in the market. A pivot high is a candle that has a higher high than the candles to its immediate left and right. Conversely, a pivot low is a candle with a lower low than its neighbors.
How it Works in the Script:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period of the selected timeframe (e.g., for each 4-hour candle). When a new high-timeframe candle closes, it stores that high/low value and its bar index in an array. The checkForPivot() function then checks if a recently stored high or low qualifies as a pivot.
Key Inputs:
Left Strength (leftBars1): The number of candles to the left that must have a lower high (for a pivot high) or higher low (for a pivot low).
Right Strength (rightBars1): The number of candles to the right that must meet the same criteria.
For example, with Left Strength and Right Strength both set to 3, a pivot high is only confirmed when its high is greater than the highs of the 3 previous high-timeframe candles and the 3 subsequent high-timeframe candles. Increasing these values will identify more significant, longer-term pivots.
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence
SMT Divergence is a concept popularized by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It occurs when two closely correlated assets fail to move in sync. For instance, if Asset A makes a higher high but Asset B fails to do so and instead makes a lower high, this creates a bearish SMT divergence. It suggests that the "smart money" may not be supporting the move in Asset A, signaling a potential reversal.
Bearish SMT: Main asset makes a higher high, while the correlated asset makes a lower high. This is a potential sell signal.
Bullish SMT: Main asset makes a lower low, while the correlated asset makes a higher low. This is a potential buy signal.
How it Works in the Script:
Data Request: For each timeframe, the script uses the request.security() function to fetch the high and low data for both the main chart symbol (syminfo.tickerid) and the chosen Comparison Asset.
Pivot Comparison: When a new pivot is confirmed on the main asset, the script checks if a corresponding pivot also formed on the comparison asset at the same time.
Divergence Check: It then compares the direction of the pivots. For a bearish SMT, it checks if the main asset's new pivot high is higher than its previous pivot high, while the comparison asset's new pivot high is lower than its previous one. The logic is reversed for bullish SMT.
Visualization: If a divergence is found, the script draws a red (bearish) or green (bullish) line connecting the two pivots on your chart and places an "SMT" label.
Early SMT Detection
This is a proactive feature designed to give you a heads-up. Waiting for a 4-hour or daily pivot to form can take a long time. The early detection system looks for SMT divergences on a much smaller, user-defined Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute).
How it Works in the Script:
Awaiting Setup: After a primary pivot (Pivot A) is formed on the main timeframe (e.g., a Daily pivot high), the script begins monitoring.
Intraday Monitoring: It then watches the Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute) for smaller intraday pivots.
Potential Divergence: It looks for an intraday pivot that forms a divergence against the primary Pivot A.
Watchline & Alert: When this "potential" divergence occurs, the script draws a dashed white line and triggers a "Potential SMT" alert. This isn't a confirmed SMT on the main timeframe yet, but it's a powerful early warning that one may be forming.
Drawing & Object Management
To keep the chart clean and prevent performance issues, the script manages its drawings (lines and labels) efficiently. It stores them in arrays and uses a drawing limit to automatically delete the oldest drawings as new ones are created, ensuring your TradingView remains responsive.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuration
Enable Timeframes: Use the checkboxes (Enable Timeframe 1, Enable Timeframe 2, etc.) to activate the timeframes you want to monitor. It's often best to start with one or two to keep the chart clean.
Select Timeframes: Choose the higher timeframes you want to analyze (e.g., 240 for 4-hour, D for Daily, W for Weekly).
Set Pivot Strength: The default of 3 for Left/Right strength is a good starting point. Increase it to find more significant market structure points or decrease it for more frequent, shorter-term pivots.
Configure SMT:
Check Enable SMT for the timeframes where you want to detect divergence.
Enter a Comparison Asset . This is crucial. Ensure the assets are correlated.
To use the early warning system, check Enable early SMT detection and select an appropriate Detection timeframe (e.g., 15 or 60 minutes for a Daily analysis).

Noon Curve Box with Quadrants & 1st FVGOverview 📜
The Noon Curve Box with Quadrants & 1st FVG is a comprehensive analysis tool built for intraday traders. It automates the process of identifying and visualizing key time-based concepts popularized by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and other price action methodologies.
While the concepts themselves are public, this script's value lies in its unique automation and clear presentation. It saves you the manual effort of marking session ranges, quadrants, and searching for critical imbalances every single day, allowing you to focus purely on execution.
Underlying Concepts Explained 🧠
This script is built on a few core price action principles:
Time-Based Profiling: The idea that different times of the trading day have different characteristics. The script visually separates the main session into 2-hour quadrants to help you track momentum shifts.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): An FVG is a three-bar pattern that indicates a price imbalance or inefficiency. It's a foundational concept in many institutional trading methods.
A Bullish FVG (or BISI) forms when there is a gap between the first candle's high and the third candle's low:
Candle 1 HighCandle 3 High
"Silver Bullet" Time Windows: This indicator specifically targets the first FVG formed during the high-impact AM session (9:30-10:00 NY Time) and a corresponding PM session (13:30-14:00 NY Time), as these are often considered high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
Key Features & How It Works ✨
Automated Session Box: The script automatically draws a box around the high and low of your specified trading session (default is 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM New York time). This provides an instant view of the day's operating range.
Dynamic Quadrant Analysis: The session is automatically divided into 2-hour quadrants. Each box is colored based on its internal momentum (close vs. open), providing an at-a-glance summary of buying or selling pressure throughout the day.
Precision FVG Detection:
The script's core logic scans for the very first FVG within the AM (9:30-10:00) and PM (13:30-14:00) windows.
It identifies the exact 3-bar pattern and immediately draws a box marking the imbalance zone. Once the first FVG is found for a window, the script stops searching, ensuring your chart remains clean and focused on the most significant, initial imbalance.
The FVG boxes extend to the current bar, keeping these key levels of interest visible all day.
How to Use This Indicator 🎯
Context: Use the Session Box high and low as your primary intraday support and resistance levels.
Momentum: Use the Quadrant Box colors to gauge the flow of the market. A switch from red to green, for example, can signal a potential shift in control.
High-Probability Setups: The AM and PM First FVG boxes are your key points of interest. These imbalances often act as price magnets. Look for price to return to these zones to find potential entries, as they may act as support (bullish FVG) or resistance (bearish FVG).
Settings and Customization ⚙️
You have full control over all visual elements.
Session Control: Adjust the session time and timezone.
Visual Toggles: Enable or disable the Session Box, Quadrants, and AM/PM FVGs.
Color Customization: Match all elements to your personal chart theme.
History: Limit the number of historical FVG boxes displayed to keep your chart clean.
ICT Sensitive Key Levels [Mariinus]Indicator Overview – Inspired by ICT Concepts
This indicator is inspired by the teachings of Inner Circle Trader (ICT), whose philosophies and principles have greatly shaped the way I view price action. One of the most powerful lessons that stuck with me is his quote:
"All you need is OHLC."
Another fundamental concept that underpins this tool is the idea that:
"Price is constantly moving in cycles from Premium or Discount to Equilibrium, from Equilibrium to Discount to Premium."
With these core ideas in mind, this indicator was developed to help traders who are already using an ICT-based framework. In addition to plotting the standard OHLC levels, the ICT Sensitive Key Levels indicator also includes derived levels that provide deeper Market insight. These include the Equilibrium of the full candle range (High to Low) as well as the Equilibrium of the wicks – offering a more nuanced view of price balance and potential turning points, in line with ICT’s core concepts.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
This is not a standalone trading plan.
This is not a buy or sell signal generator.
Instead, this tool is designed to support traders who follow ICT principles by helping them identify higher-probability PD Arrays – the key zones where setups are more likely to occur. If your trading plan includes looking for specific PD Arrays and structural frameworks taught by ICT, then this indicator is a visual aid to refine and focus your attention on the areas where your framework has a higher probability of playing out.
🔁 Backtesting & Daily Preparation
In addition to improving your real-time analysis, this indicator is also a valuable tool for accelerated backtesting . Rather than manually drawing out levels, the indicator automatically provides them, allowing you to analyze past price action faster and more efficiently .
It’s also ideal for preparing your trading day . By loading the indicator before the session starts, you get a clear visual of key levels that may play a role in your strategy. And if you find the chart too cluttered with lines, simply copy the ones that matter to you, draw them manually, and then turn the indicator off to keep your chart clean while keeping your zones intact.
⚙️ Explanation of the Settings
You can combine up to 4 timeframes to monitor their respective levels while operating on a lower timeframe. For each timeframe, you can:
• Set a lookback period to control how far back you want to calculate levels.
• Choose to display or hide the levels of the current candle , which helps you monitor intra-candle ebbs and flows.
Each level (e.g., High, Low, Open, Close, Equilibrium) can be customized:
• Color
• Line style
• Line width
• To hide a level , simply set its opacity to zero.
You can also enable dividers to clearly mark the start and end of higher timeframe candles on your lower timeframe chart. These dividers are also fully customizable:
• Color
• Style
• Width
• And again, if you prefer a cleaner chart, you can set the opacity to zero to hide them completely.
This setup gives you full control over how much or how little visual data you want to see, aligning the tool with your personal trading workflow.
💡 Example Use Cases
These examples are for educational purposes only. This tool is not financial advice and should always be used in conjunction with your own trading plan—whether it involves Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, or a custom combination of ICT-based elements.
• Example 1: A 1H Bearish Fair Value Gap overlapping with the Equilibrium Key Level of the Previous Day's Range – a high-probability zone for reaction.
• Example 2: A 1H Bullish Fair Value Gap in Discount, overlapping with the Equilibrium of Two Days Ago, followed by a move into a 1H Bearish Order Block that coincides with the Previous Day’s Equilibrium.
• Example 3: The same 1H PD Arrays viewed from a 4H chart, alongside Weekly Price Levels – giving you a higher timeframe context that supports or invalidates lower timeframe setups.
• Example 4: A combination of two timeframes for added context. A 4H Bullish Fair Value Gap is nested inside the current Weekly Equilibrium Key Level . On the 15M chart , we observe a reaction that creates an Inversion Fair Value Gap , which aligns with the Equilibrium Key Level of the previous 4H candle .
This indicator doesn’t replace your trading plan—it enhances your ability to execute it. It’s a precision tool made for ICT traders who understand context, structure, and probability.
IME's Community First Presented FVGsIME's Community First Presented FVGs v1.5 - Advanced Implementation
ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
This indicator advances beyond basic Fair Value Gap detection by implementing a sophisticated 24-hour FVG lifecycle management system aligned with institutional trading patterns. While many FVG indicators simply detect gaps and extend them indefinitely, this implementation introduces temporal intelligence that mirrors how institutional algorithms actually manage these inefficiencies.
Key Innovations that set this apart:
- 24-Hour Lifecycle Management: FVGs extend dynamically until 16:59, then freeze until removal at 17:00 next day
- Institutional Day Alignment: Recognizes 18:00-16:59 trading cycles vs standard calendar days
- Multi-Session Detection: Simultaneous monitoring of Midnight, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions
- Advanced Classification System: A.FVG detection with volume imbalance analysis vs classic FVG patterns
- Volatility Settlement Logic: Blocks contamination from opening mechanics (3:01+, 0:01+, 13:31+ rules)
- Visual Enhancement System: C.E. lines, contamination warnings, dark mode support with proper transparency handling
BASED ON ICT CONCEPTS
This indicator implements First Presented Fair Value Gap methodology taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). The original F.P. FVG concepts, timing rules, and session-based detection are credited to ICT's educational material. This implementation extends those foundational concepts with advanced lifecycle management and institutional alignment features.
ICT's Core F.P. FVG Rules Implemented:
- First clean FVG after session opening (avoids opening contamination)
- 3-candle pattern requirement for valid detection
- Session-specific timing windows and volatility settlement
- Consequent Encroachment level identification
IME's Advanced Enhancements:
- Automated lifecycle management with institutional day recognition
- Multi-session simultaneous monitoring with proper isolation
- Advanced visual system with transparency states for aged FVGs
- A.FVG classification with volume imbalance detection algorithms
HOW IT WORKS
Core Detection Engine
The indicator monitors four key institutional sessions using precise timing windows:
- Midnight Session: 00:01-00:30 (blocks 00:00 contamination)
- London Session: 03:01-03:30 (blocks 03:00 contamination)
- NY AM Session: 09:30-10:00 (configurable 9:30 detection)
- NY PM Session: 13:31-14:00 (blocks 13:30 contamination)
During each session window, the algorithm scans for the first valid FVG pattern using ICT's 3-candle rule while applying volatility settlement principles to avoid false signals from opening mechanics.
Advanced Classification System
Classic FVG Detection:
Standard 3-candle wick-to-wick gap where candle 1 and 3 don't overlap, creating an inefficiency that institutions must eventually fill.
A.FVG (Advanced FVG) Detection:
Enhanced pattern recognition that includes volume imbalance analysis (deadpool detection) to identify more significant institutional inefficiencies. A.FVGs incorporate both the basic gap plus additional price imbalances between candle bodies, creating larger, more significant levels.
24-Hour Lifecycle Management
Phase 1 - Dynamic Extension (Creation Day):
From detection until 16:59 of creation day, FVGs extend in real-time as new bars form, maintaining their relevance as potential support/resistance levels.
Phase 2 - Freeze Period (Next Day):
At 16:59, FVGs stop extending and "freeze" at their final size, remaining visible as reference levels but no longer growing. This prevents outdated levels from contaminating fresh analysis.
Phase 3 - Cleanup (17:00 Next Day):
Exactly 24+ hours after creation, FVGs are automatically removed to maintain chart clarity. This timing aligns with institutional trading cycle completion.
Institutional Day Logic
The algorithm recognizes that institutional trading days run from 18:00-16:59 (not midnight-midnight). This alignment ensures FVGs are managed according to institutional timeframes rather than arbitrary calendar boundaries.
Contamination Avoidance System
Volatility Settlement Principle:
Opening mechanics create artificial volatility that can produce false FVG signals. The indicator automatically blocks detection during exact session opening times (X:00) and requires settlement time (X:01+) before identifying clean institutional inefficiencies.
Special NY AM Handling:
Provides configurable 9:30 detection for advanced users who want to capture potential opening range FVGs, with clear visual warnings about contamination risk.
VISUAL SYSTEM
Color Intelligence
- Current Day FVGs: Full opacity with session-specific colors
- Previous Day FVGs: 70% transparency for historical reference
- Special Timing (9:30): Dedicated warning color with alert labels
- Dark Mode Support: Automatic text/line color adaptation
Enhanced Visual Elements
C.E. (Consequent Encroachment) Lines:
Automatically calculated 50% levels within each FVG, representing the most likely fill point based on institutional behavior patterns. These levels extend and freeze with their parent FVG.
Contamination Warnings:
Visual alerts when FVGs are detected during potentially contaminated timing, helping traders understand signal quality.
Session Identification:
Clear labeling system showing FVG type (FVG/A.FVG), session origin (NY AM, London, etc.), and creation date for easy reference.
HOW TO USE
Basic Setup
1. Session Selection: Enable/disable specific sessions based on your trading strategy
2. FVG Type: Choose between Classic FVGs or A.FVGs depending on your analysis preference
3. Visual Preferences: Adjust colors, text size, and enable dark mode if needed
Trading Applications
Intraday Reference Levels:
Use current day FVGs as potential support/resistance for price action analysis. The dynamic extension ensures levels remain relevant throughout the trading session.
Multi-Session Analysis:
Monitor how price interacts with FVGs from different sessions to understand institutional flow and market structure.
C.E. Level Trading:
Focus on the 50% consequent encroachment levels for high-probability entry points when price approaches FVG zones.
Historical Context:
Previous day FVGs (shown with transparency) provide context for understanding market structure evolution across multiple trading days.
Advanced Features
9:30 Special Detection:
For experienced traders, enable 9:30 FVG detection to capture opening range inefficiencies, but understand the contamination risks indicated by warning labels.
A.FVG vs Classic Toggle:
Switch between detection modes based on market conditions - A.FVGs for trending environments, Classic FVGs for ranging conditions.
Best Practices
- Use on 1-minute to 15-minute timeframes for optimal session detection
- Combine with other institutional concepts (order blocks, liquidity levels) for comprehensive analysis
- Pay attention to transparency states - current day FVGs are more actionable than previous day references
- Consider C.E. levels as primary targets rather than full FVG fills

Release Notes
IME's Community First Presented FVGs v1.5.2 - Critical Bug Fixes
Bug Fixes:
v1.5.1 - Fixed 9:30 Contamination Blocking:
Issue: When 9:30 detection toggle was OFF, script still detected 9:30 candles as F.P. FVGs
Fix: Added proper contamination blocking logic that prevents 9:30 middle candle detection when toggle is OFF
Result: Toggle OFF now correctly shows clean F.P. FVGs at 9:31+ (proper ICT volatility settlement)
v1.5.2 - Fixed A.FVG Box Calculation Accuracy:
Issue: A.FVG boxes incorrectly included ALL body levels even when no actual deadpool existed between specific candles
Fix: Implemented selective body level inclusion - only adds body prices where actual volume imbalances exist
Result: A.FVG boxes now accurately represent only areas with real institutional volume imbalances
Impact:
More Accurate Detection: 9:30 contamination properly blocked when disabled
Precise A.FVG Zones: Boxes only include levels with actual deadpools/volume imbalances
Institutional Accuracy: Both fixes align detection with true institutional trading principles
Technical Details:
Enhanced contamination blocking checks middle candle timing in normal mode
A.FVG calculation now selectively includes body levels based on individual deadpool existence
Maintains backward compatibility with all existing features and settings
These fixes ensure the indicator provides institutionally accurate FVG detection and sizing for professional trading analysis.
