Inner Circle Trader Institutional ORDER BLOCKS FOREX Theory
Today we are talking about the infamous ORDER BLOCKS by ICT forex trading Strategy. Order Blocks have proven to be a very effective tool in trading as they allow traders to gain high reward with low risk trades.
What is an Order Block? - The Order Block is a specific price range or candle where institutions will be buying or selling against the retail trend/dump money.
Institutions leave order blocks for themselves to trade at a later stage. They will reverse the price to a previous order and then driving the price hard in the direction of the trend (The real institutional trend).
These order blocks we can also call them specific levels of either going Long or Short. If an order block is violated or broken, it now qualifies as a Breaker, meaning Price will retest back to that order block. Sometimes we call it a failed order block.
Types of OBs:
i. Bullish Order Block (BUB)
ii. Bearish Order Block (BEB)

ICT Opening Range Projections (tristanlee85)ICT Opening Range Projections
This indicator visualizes key price levels based on ICT's (Inner Circle Trader) "Opening Range" concept. This 30-minute time interval establishes price levels that the algorithm will refer to throughout the session. The indicator displays these levels, including standard deviation projections, internal subdivisions (quadrants), and the opening price.
🟪 What It Does
The Opening Range is a crucial 30-minute window where market algorithms establish significant price levels. ICT theory suggests this range forms the basis for daily price movement.
This script helps you:
Mark the high, low, and opening price of each session.
Divide the range into quadrants (premium, discount, and midpoint/Consequent Encroachment).
Project potential price targets beyond the range using configurable standard deviation multiples .
🟪 How to Use It
This tool aids in time-based technical analysis rooted in ICT's Opening Range model, helping you observe price interaction with algorithmic levels.
Example uses include:
Identifying early structural boundaries.
Observing price behavior within premium/discount zones.
Visualizing initial displacement from the range to anticipate future moves.
Comparing price reactions at projected standard deviation levels.
Aligning price action with significant times like London or NY Open.
Note: This indicator provides a visual framework; it does not offer trade signals or interpretations.
🟪 Key Information
Time Zone: New York time (ET) is required on your chart.
Sessions: Supports multiple sessions, including NY midnight, NY AM, NY PM, and three custom timeframes.
Time Interval: Supports multi-timeframe up to 15 minutes. Best used on a 1-minute chart for accuracy.
🟪 Session Options
The Opening Range interval is configurable for up to 6 sessions:
Pre-defined ICT Sessions:
NY Midnight: 12:00 AM – 12:30 AM ET
NY AM: 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM ET
NY PM: 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Custom Sessions:
Three user-defined start/end time pairs.
This example shows a custom session from 03:30 - 04:00:
🟪 Understanding the Levels
The Opening Price is the open of the first 1-minute candle within the chosen session.
At session close, the Opening Range is calculated using its High and Low . An optional swing-based mode uses swing highs/lows for range boundaries.
The range is divided into quadrants by its midpoint ( Consequent Encroachment or CE):
Upper Quadrant: CE to high (premium).
Lower Quadrant: Low to CE (discount).
These subdivisions help visualize internal range dynamics, where price often reacts during algorithmic delivery.
🟪 Working with Ranges
By default, the range is determined by the highest high and lowest low of the 30-minute session:
A range can also be determined by the highest/lowest swing points:
Quadrants outline the premium and discount of a range that price will reference:
Small ranges still follow the same algorithmic logic, but may be deemed insignificant for one's trading. These can be filtered in the settings by specifying a minimum ticks limit. In this example, the range is 42 ticks (10.5 points) but the indicator is configured for 80 ticks (20 points). We can select which levels will plot if the range is below the limit. Here, only the 00:00 opening price is plotted:
You may opt to include the range high/low, quadrants, and projections as well. This will plot a red (configurable) range bracket to indicate it is below the limit while plotting the levels:
🟪 Price Projections
Projections extend beyond the Opening Range using standard deviations, framing the market beyond the initial session and identifying potential targets. You define the standard deviation multiples (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Both positive and negative extensions are displayed, symmetrically projected from the range's high and low.
The Dynamic Levels option plots only the next projection level once price crosses the previous extreme. For example, only the 0.5 STDEV level plots until price reaches it, then the 1.0 level appears, and so on. This continues up to your defined maximum projections, or indefinitely if standard deviations are set to 0.
This example shows dynamic levels for a total of 6 sessions, only 1 of which meet a configured minimum limit of 50 ticks:
Small ranges followed by significant displacement are impacted the most with the number of levels plotted. You may hide projections when configuring the minimum ticks.
A fixed standard deviation will plot levels in both directions, regardless of the price range. Here, we plot up to 3.0 which hiding projections for small ranges:

ict cbdr# ICT CBDR - Central Bank Dealers Range
This indicator identifies and displays the Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR), a concept from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. The CBDR represents the consolidation period between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM New York time, during which major financial institutions establish their positions.
## Features
- **Customizable Time Range:** Default setting is the standard 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM NY time, but can be adjusted to any session
- **Timezone Selection:** Choose your preferred timezone while maintaining accurate CBDR tracking
- **Visual Range Box:** Clearly displays the high and low range established during the selected session
- **Equator (EQ) Line:** Shows the 50% mid-point of the range for potential support/resistance
- **Projection Lines:** Automatically projects extensions of the range for potential targets
- **Adjustable Multiplier:** Option for 0.5× or 1× range projections
- **Range Type Selection:** Use price wicks or bodies to establish the range
## How to Use This Indicator
The CBDR forms a consolidation zone that often precedes significant price movements. After this range is established, markets tend to move away from this area with directional bias. Trading strategies commonly involve:
1. **Breakout Trading:** Enter when price breaks above/below the CBDR
2. **Range Trading:** Fade moves from the edges of the range back to the EQ line
3. **EQ Line Support/Resistance:** Use the mid-range as a pivot point
4. **Extension Targets:** Utilize the projection lines as potential take-profit levels
## Settings
- **Show CBDR:** Toggle the visibility of the range box
- **Range Type:** Select whether to use candle wicks or bodies for range calculation
- **Timezone:** Choose your preferred timezone (default is America/New York)
- **Session Time:** Adjust the session time in 24-hour format (default is 1400-2000)
- **EQ Line:** Toggle and customize the equator line
- **Projections:** Toggle and adjust the number and appearance of projection lines
- **Use 0.5 Deviation:** When enabled, uses half-sized projections
- **Hide Above __ Minutes:** Controls on which timeframes the indicator is displayed
## Notes
- The traditional CBDR is specifically the 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM NY time range
- This indicator is most effective on lower timeframes (1-15 minute charts)
- Remember to combine this tool with proper risk management and additional confirmation
- Works best on forex and highly liquid markets

Dealing rangeHi all!
This indicator will show you the current dealing range. The concept of dealing range comes from the inner circle trader (ICT) and gives you a range between an established swing high and an established swing low (the length of these pivots can be changed in settings parameter Length and defaults to 5/2 (left/right)). These swing points must have taken out liquidity to be considered "established". The liquidity that must be grabbed by the swing point has to be a pivot of left length of 1 and a right length of 1.
The dealing range that's created should be used in conjunction with market structure. This could be done through scripts (maybe the Market structure script that I published ()) or manually. It's a common approach to look for long opportunities when the trend is bullish and price is currently in the discount zone of the dealing range. If the trend is bearish then short opportunities are presented when the price is currently in the premium zone of the dealing range.
The zones within the dealing range are premium and discount that are split on the 50% level of the dealing range. These zones can be split into 3 zone with a Fair price (also called Fair value ) zone in between premium and discount. This makes the premium zone to be in the upper third of the dealing range, fair price in the middle third and discount in the lower third. This can be enabled in the settings through the Fair price parameter.
Enabled:
You can choose to enable/disable the visualisation of liquidity grabs and the External liquidity available above and below the swing points that created the dealing range.
Enabled:
Disabled:
Enabled on a higher timeframe (will display a box of the liquidity grab price instead of a label):
This dealing range is configurable to be created by a higher timeframe then the visible charts. Use the setting Higher timeframe to change this.
You can force candles to be closed (for liquidity and swing points). Please note that if you use a higher timeframe then the visible charts the candles must be closed on this timeframe.
Lastly you can also change the transparency of liquidity grabs and external liquidity outside of the dealing range. Use the Transparency setting to change this (a lower value will lead to stronger visuals).
If you have any input or suggestions on future features or bugs, don't hesitate to let me know!
Best of trading luck!
London Judas Swing Indicator by PoorTomTradingThis indicator is designed to help people identify and trade the London Judas Swing by Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
UPDATES IN V2:
This is a v2 update with automatic timezone settings, there is no longer any need to adjust the time or offset for DST.
It will now also work on any chart that trades during the Asia and London sessions (20:00 - 05:00 NY Time), including crypto.
It is recommended to use this indicator on the 5 minute timeframe.
INTRODUCTION OF KEY CONCEPTS:
Swing Points are a candle patterns defining highs and lows, these are explained further down in the description in more detail. They are shown on the indicator by arrows above and below candles. They can be removed if you wish by turning their opacity to 0% in settings. Swing points are automatically removed when price trades beyond them (above swing highs, below swing lows).
The Asia Session can be set by the user, but is defined by default as 20:00 - 00:00 NY time. Lines are drawn at the high and low of the Asia Session and the Asian Range is set at midnight.
The London Session is defined as 02:00 - 05:00 NY time.
The user can also include the pre-London session (00:00 - 02:00) for detection of breakouts and Market Structure Breaks (MSBs - explained lower down in the description with examples). This is selected by default.
EXPLANATION OF INDICATOR:
During the London Session, the indicator will wait for a break of either the high or low of the Asian Range.
When this is detected, it will draw a dashed line where the breakout occurred and trigger an alert.
After the break of the Asian Range, the indicator will look for an MSB in the opposite direction, which is when price closes beyond a swing point opposing current price direction. The indicator will draw a line indicating the MSB point and trigger an alert.
Finally, the indicator will also trigger an alert when price returns to this MSB level, which is the most simple Judas Swing entry method.
The Judas swing
Example with chart for Judas Swing short setups -
Price breaks above the Asia High, no candle close is required, the indicator will then wait for price to close a candle below the last swing low.
A swing low is defined as a 3 candle pattern, with two candles on either side of the middle one having higher lows. When a candle closes below the middle candle's low, that is an MSB.
When price returns to the MSB point, the Take Profit and Stop Loss levels will appear.
When price goes to either the Stop Loss or Take Profit level, the MSB, TP and SL, lines will be removed.
After this, if price creates a new setup in the opposite direction, the indicator will also work for this, as shown in this example that occurred right after the first example
SETTINGS:
- The "Swing Point strength" can be adjusted in the settings.
Example:
For a swing low:
The default setting is 1 (one candle on each side of a middle candle has a higher low).
You can change this setting to 2, for a 5 candle pattern (two candles on each side of the middle candle have higher lows).
This can be changed to a maximum of 10. But only 1 or 2 is recommended especially on the 5 minute chart.
- ATR Length and Triangle Distance Multiplier settings are for adjusting how the swing point symbols appear on the chart.
This is to ensure triangles are not drawn over candles when price gets volatile.
The default setting is ideal for almost all market conditions, but you can play around with it to adjust to your liking.
- Alerts.
For alerts to be triggered, they must first be selected in settings.
Then you need to go on to the chart and right-click on an element of the indicator (such as the swing point symbols) and select "add alert on PTT-LJS-v2".
If after this, you change any settings on the indicator such as session times or pre-London session, you must add the alert again, and delete the old one if you wish.
LRLR [TakingProphets]LRLR (Low Resistance Liquidity Run) Indicator
This indicator identifies potential liquidity runs in areas of low resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It specifically looks for a series of unmitigated swing highs in a downtrend that form without any bearish fair value gaps (FVGs) between them.
What is an LRLR?
- A Low Resistance Liquidity Run occurs when price creates a series of lower highs without any bearish fair value gaps in between
- The absence of bearish FVGs indicates there is no significant resistance in the area
- These formations often become targets for smart money to collect liquidity above the swing highs
How to Use the Indicator:
1. The indicator will draw a diagonal line connecting a series of qualifying swing highs
2. A small "LRLR" label appears to mark the pattern
3. These areas often become targets for future price moves, as they represent zones of accumulated liquidity with minimal resistance
Key Points:
- Minimum of 4 consecutive lower swing highs
- No bearish fair value gaps can exist between these swing highs
- The diagonal line helps visualize the liquidity run formation
- Can be used for trade planning and identifying potential reversal zones
Settings:
- Show Labels: Toggle the "LRLR" label visibility
- LRLR Line Color: Customize the appearance of the diagonal line
Best Practices:
1. Use in conjunction with other ICT concepts and market structure analysis
2. Pay attention to how price reacts when returning to these levels
3. Consider these areas as potential targets for smart money liquidity grabs
4. Most effective when used on higher timeframes (4H and above)
Note: This is an educational tool and should be used as part of a complete trading strategy, not in isolation.
ICT Intraday Timeline [neo.|]ICT Intraday Timeline is a script that aims to cleanly display key times that the "Inner Circle Trader" often refers to during the day on a separate pane in your Tradingview chart. While using it, you can clearly see the time it is currently in New York time, as well as your own through Tradingview as usual, as well as relevant times such as the lunch times, Silver Bullet times, and Asian range time.
By using this indicator it is simpler to consider what every time is doing and the effect it has on your current bias, for example: you may want to look at the 8:30 am open which is where news usually comes out, if not you can use 9:30 am for formulating trades. The AM SB is a time for when the "Silver Bullet (ICT)" setup can be found and executed, as it refines a specific range and targets inefficiencies and allows liquidity to form for which it comes back for, meaning it may be a better time for you to enter a trade, these are just examples of what you can look for, and how considering time can help you come up with and refine trade ideas.
Other times which are included are the:
Asia Range: You can mark out the highs and lows which occur during this time to use as liquidity later.
Midnight Open: On equities price will often interact with the midnight opening price, meaning it is an important time to consider.
London Open SB and Premarket SB: As mentioned previously you can find the "Silver Bullet" setup in here.
NY Lunch & London Lunch: Lunch times usually mean less volume therefore you may see less probable trades at this time.
AM SB and PM SB: Once again, times where you can potentially find more probable trades.
You can also easily customize any of the colors such as the SB (Silver Bullet) times, London lunch and NY Lunch times, or the Asia range or line colors to your preference and individual chart style.
ICT 9:30am First FVGThis indicator is designed based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader)'s algorithmic price action theory, specifically targeting the first fair value gap (FVG) that forms immediately after the New York Stock Exchange opens at 9:30am. The FVG represents an imbalance in the price delivery where a significant price action gap occurs, which can play a crucial role in future price movements.
Features:
Identification of First FVG: Automatically identifies and plots the first fair value gap that forms post the 9:30am NY open.
Customizable Visualization: Choose between block or line styles for visual representation, with customizable colors and border styles.
Date Labeling: Optionally displays date labels for each identified gap to track patterns over time.
Imbalance Extension: Options to extend the imbalances to the current bar, helping to visualize their influence on ongoing price action.
Purpose:
The first fair value gap formed after the market opens is an important algorithmic price range in ICT's price action theory. This indicator simplifies the identification of these critical gaps and helps in understanding their impact on future price action.
ICT Unicorn Model [LuxAlgo]The ICT Unicorn Model indicator highlights the presence of "unicorn" patterns on the user's chart which is derived from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) .
Detected patterns are followed by targets with a distance controlled by the user.
🔶 USAGE
At its core, the ICT Unicorn Model relies on two popular concepts, Fair Value Gaps and Breaker Blocks. This combination highlights a future area of support/resistance.
A Bullish Unicorn Pattern consists out of:
A Lower Low (LL), followed by a Higher High (HH)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern.
A Bearish Unicorn Pattern consists of:
A Higher High (HH), followed by a Lower Low (LL)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern
The pattern detection depends on detected swings, which can be controlled by the Swing setting. Using higher values of this setting will return longer-term breaker blocks.
🔹 Using Risk/Reward Targets
A confirmed Unicorn pattern will show a blue ( Target ) / grey ( Stop Loss) "Risk/Reward" areas (RR).
When the Stop Loss or Target is hit, a white line is shown on the concerned side.
The Risk/Reward ratio can be adjusted in the "Targets" settings.
🔹 Trailing Stop
As seen in the previous snapshots, besides the RR areas, this indicator also includes an optional Trailing Stop .
This can be helpful to lower your risk, by exiting earlier than if you would wait until the Stop Loss is hit.
This example shows a successful bullish and bearish Unicorn Pattern . In this scenario, the Trailing Stop could be used for partial Take Profit.
The goal of this publication is to show confirmed Unicorn Patterns . To increase the chance of success, it is important to evaluate the bigger picture & use this in confluence with your price action analysis. For example, look for potential areas of liquidity, consider this pattern only during certain market sessions, avoid trading during heavy impact news, &/or incorporate other aspects of technical analysis rather than just following this pattern blindly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Combine
When disabled, all potential Unicorn Patterns will delete previous unconfirmed patterns:
Enabling Combine ensures the last Unicorn Patterns in the opposite direction will remain.
While the latter bullish pattern became invalid, another one formed.
The combination of the previous bearish pattern, and looking at the big picture, the bullish pattern did not have much chance to be successful.
While disabling 'combine' helps minimize clutter, enabling this feature can give a pattern more chance to hit the SL/Target level.
🔹 Mitigated FVG
Users can determine if a pattern becomes invalid due to a mitigated FVG, causing the pattern to be deleted.
🔹 New pattern detected
When a new pattern is detected, the previous unconfirmed pattern in the same direction (bullish - bullish or bearish - bearish) will be deleted. This will always be the case, whether "Combine' is enabled or disabled.
When the previous pattern was confirmed but no SL or Target level was hit, this pattern will stop updating.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Unicorn
Swings: This sets the length of swings, used for the underlying ZigZag and Unicorn Patterns detection.
Bull: Enable/disable Bullish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Bear: Enable/disable Bearish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Combine: When enabled, patterns in opposite directions (bullish/bearish) can exist at the same time. disabling this feature tends to give less clutter. See the "Usage" section for more information.
🔹 Targets
Risk/Reward: Sets the Risk/Reward ratio.
Trailing Stop: Set the length of small swings, which is used for the Trailing Stop .

Automatic OTE (FX4LIVING) [Pro+]Description:
Unlock the precision of your trading endeavors with our cutting-edge Automatic OTE Fibonacci Tool. This advanced indicator not only simplifies the intricate world of Fibonacci retracements but also introduces a unique time-based anchoring feature.
Thanks to the Timeframe feature, analysts can anchor Fibonacci High and Low values to any selected timeframe. While many find Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, and 1H ranges effective, our tool offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing custom Tradingview times for 90-minute candle ranges and other bespoke intervals.
In collaboration with FX4_LIVING, key levels are thoughtfully grouped for enhanced ease and organization. These include the High, Low, Equilibrium (EQ), and the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Optimal Trade Entry is a concept taught by the Inner Circle Trader utilizing fibonacci retracements to gauge when price is considered in Premium or Discount. When price reaches 62% retracement of the anchored swings, price enters an area considered for an optimal trade entry.
This said, these levels can act as much more than a simple retracement tool, showing continuous levels that price refers back to based on Premium and Discount prices of the previous interval.
15s Chart + 15m Automatic OTE:
5m Chart + 4H Automatic OTE:
This tool provides analysts the flexibility to input various Fibonacci Levels, with default settings aligned to FX4_LIVING's Trading Models. The integrated data table offers a distilled view of price action, enabling easy tracking where price is trading compared to the previous selected interval in percentage – where the High and the Low represent 0% and 100% interchangeably. This feature allows you to quickly know where price is, even if you decide to hide the Fibonacci Levels.

ICT Silver Bullet with signals
The "ICT Silver Bullet with signals" indicator (inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT)),
goes a step further than the ICT Silver Bullet publication, which I made for LuxAlgo :
• uses HTF candles
• instant drawing of Support & Resistance (S/R) lines when price retraces into FVG
• NWOG - NDOG S/R lines
• signals
The Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When price goes back to the FVG, without breaking it, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn immediately.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (03 AM — 04 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (02 PM — 03 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
This technique can visualise potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
When HTF candles forms an FVG, the FVG will be drawn at the end (close) of the last HTF candle.
To make it easier to visualise the 2 HTF candles that form the FVG, you can enable
• SHOW -> HTF candles
During the SB session, when a FVG is broken, the FVG will be removed, together with its S/R lines.
The same goes if price did not retrace into FVG at the last bar of the SB session
Only exception is when "Remove broken FVG's" is disabled.
In this case a FVG can be broken, as long as price bounces back before the end of the SB session, it will remain to be visible:
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
S/R target lines are drawn immediately when price retraces into the FVG.
They will remain updated until they are broken (target hit)
Potential S/R lines are formed by:
• previous swings (swing settings (left-right)
• New Week Opening Gap (NWOG): close on Friday - weekly open
• New Day Opening Gap (NWOG): close previous day - current daily open
Only non-broken lines are included.
Broken =
• minimum of open and close below potential S/R line
• maximum of open and close above potential S/R line
NDOG lines are coloured fuchsia (as in the ICT lectures), NWOG are coloured white (darkmode) or black (lightmode ~ ICT lectures)
Swing line colour can be set as desired.
Here S/R includes NDOG lines:
The same situation, with "Extend Target-lines to their source" enabled:
Here with NWOG lines:
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs
The minimum distance (if applicable) can be shown by enabling "Show" - "Minimum Trade Framework" -> blue arrow from close to mTFW
Potential S/R lines needs to be higher (bullish) or lower (bearish) than mTFW.
🔶 SETTINGS
(check USAGE for deeper insights and explanation)
🔹 Only last x bars: when enabled, the script will do most of the calculations at these last x candles, potentially this can speeds calculations.
🔹 Swing settings (left-right): Sets the length, which will set the lookback period/sensitivity of the ZigZag patterns (which directs the trend and points for S/R lines)
🔹 FVG
HTF (minutes): 1-15 minutes.
• When the chart TF is equal of higher, calculations are based on current TF.
• Chart TF > 15 minutes will give the warning: "Please use a timeframe <= 15 minutes".
Remove broken FVG's: when enabled the script will remove FVG (+ associated S/R lines) immediately when FVG is broken at opposite direction.
FVG's still will be automatically removed at the end of the SB session, when there is no retrace, together with associated S/R lines,...
~ trend: Only include FVG in the same direction as the current trend
Note -> when set 'right' (swing setting) rather high ( > 3), he trend change will be delayed as well (default 'right' max 5)
Extend: extend FVG to max right side of SB session
🔹 Targets – support/resistance
Extend Target-lines to their source: extend lines to their origin
Colours (Swing S/R lines)
🔹 Show
SB session: show lines and labels of SB session (+ colour)
• Labels can be disabled separately in the 'Style' section, colour is set at the 'Inputs' section
Trend : Show trend (ZigZag, coloured ~ trend)
HTF candles: Show the 2 HTF candles that form the FVG
Minimum Trade Framework: blue arrow (if applicable)
🔶 ALERTS
There are 4 signals provided (bullish/bearish):
FVG Formed
FVG Retrace
Target reached
FVG cancelled
You can choose between dynamic alerts - only 1 alert needs to be set for all signals, or you can set specific alerts as desired.

Time Matrix [Pro+] (DRxICT)Description:
The Time Matrix Pro is an automated Time-based trading tool adaptable to futures, forex, and bond markets. This indicator is inspired by concepts taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and ICT_Concepts.
ICT’s repertoire encompasses the concepts of liquidity and couples them with Time. The Time Matrix helps the analyst to locate key Time-based price levels to determine bias and recurring price patterns within the market. Analysts can use levels like Previous Day’s Highs and Lows, Weekly Highs and Lows, Session Openings, and Macros to base and qualify Premium and Discount arrays in intraday analysis.
Session Boxes are Time opportunities of the day that identify the market mechanics of consolidation, expansion, retracement, and reversals.
ICT_Concepts's Session Boxes are described as the Premarket, AM Session, PM session:
Premarket is defined as 9:30pm to 1:30am
AM session is defined as 4:00am to 11:00am
PM Session is defined as 11:30am to 2:15pm
Understanding how Time is crucial for identifying intraday profiling, the analyst is able to toggle price levels in conjunction with Time-based macros. These help analyze key market turning points that can correspond to unique market mechanics.
Beyond the Time-based liquidity levels, and the Time macros, there are also predefined Time clusters.
These clusters highlight a significant lower Timeframe candle which was found to hold significant value by ICT_Concepts. Very much alike Time-based liquidity levels, analysts will notice how price reacts to support or negate existing orderflow, trend and direction.
Key Features:
Customizable Extension: the analyst is given the choice to toggle the ending Time Offset to either Noon NY Time or at the end of the trading day.
Time-Based Toggles: choose individual Time-based prices to highlight on your chart.
Time Table: depending on the Timeframe, the Time Table will display the number of bars and the Time elapsed since the Time-based liquidity levels were established.
Other Features
Customize Session Boxes Color
Customize Time-Based Liquidity Line Style
Customize Time-Based Liquidity Level Color
Customize Time-Based Liquidity Line Width
Customize Table Size and Location
Usage Guidance:
Add Time Matrix to your Tradingview chart.
Customize your desired settings of Time-Based Liquidity Levels to align with your personal preference.
Observe where the Time-Based Liquidity Levels as well as Previous Day, Week, and Macros play a role in intraday narrative.
Analysts can choose to utilize Time-Based Liquidity Levels as automated framework to organize models and layouts.

London Intraday Protraction (Normal + Delayed) [Pro+]The London Intraday Protraction° is an automatic market profiling tool designed from ICT Time and price parameters projected for London Session studies:
Time:
Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR)
Asian Range (AR)
London Session
Price:
Central Bank Dealers Range Size (CBDR)
Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR) Standard Deviations
Asian Range Size (AR)
Protraction (fake move, trap)
This tool allows you to keep your attention dialled into the Session harnessing the concepts listed above through historical data (statistics + previous sessions), and live visuals.
This tool automatically annotates your CBDR and AR reference points, and prints range values in pips as a label above the CBDR and AR; it also projects the CBDR deviations encompassed in London's Time opportunity – up to three standard deviations.
The range values for the Time-based ranges, and price action are filtered into conditional statements as taught in the Core Content from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
There are three profile types:
1) Normal Protraction – the high/low of the Day is anticipated in early London Session.
2) Delayed Protraction – due to invalid Price Parameters (Range Sizes) the Protraction is expected in the later stages of the London Session (this protraction may, or may not be, the high/low of the Day).
3) Normal Protraction Negated – due to invalid Time Parameters, the Protraction is expected in the later stages of the London Session (this protraction may, or may not be, the high/low of the Day).
Notice the color coding of the specific scenarios, as it always repeats – it will aid pattern recognition.
The statistical table shows the total number of viewable London Sessions on chart; it provides the total number of filtered Normal Protraction Sessions, and Delayed Protractions Sessions. It also indicates a percentage of how many filtered conditions held true and provided clean price action or narrative.
The true power of this tool lies in its specific window of Time opportunity, and solid conditional logic provided by ICT's teachings; having the London Session analysis automated, allows you to focus on price, and bias, rather than drawing predetermined ICT parameters.
Additional Features:
Customizable Colors
Auto-adapting Colors
Customizable Stat Table Position

ICT Playbook by dokterfuseFEATURES
- New York daily ranges high to low
- 08-12 UTC-5 Time Window Highlighted
- New York day of week divider
- Weekly high/low + EQ
- TGIF
- Monday & Thursday range extended
- Weekly open
- Midnight open
- Previous daily range percentiles (fib)
- 5 ADR
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.

FUTURE UPDATES & BUGS
The script will be maintained and updated after the public release. Bugs and Ideas can be suggested in the comments.
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

Example:
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.

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.
Tool Features:

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.
