(ICT)Liquidity Grab + FVG + MSS/BOS

31 mag

This script is a comprehensive educational indicator that combines and enhances several well-known trading concepts:

Liquidity Grabs (Swing Failure Patterns)

Fair Value Gaps (FVG)

Market Structure Shifts / Break of Structure (MSS/BOS)
Alerts


It identifies potential bullish and bearish liquidity grabs, confirms them optionally using volume validation on a lower timeframe, and tracks subsequent price structure changes. The indicator visually marks key swing highs/lows, FVG zones, and BOS/MSS levels—allowing traders to observe how price reacts to liquidity and imbalance zones.

🔍 Features:
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP):
Highlights possible liquidity grabs based on recent highs/lows and candle structure.

Volume Validation (Optional):
Filter signals using relative volume outside the swing on a lower timeframe. Adjustable threshold.

Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Detects imbalance gaps and extends them for easy visualization.

Market Structure (MSS/BOS):
Displays Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) based on pivot highs/lows and closing conditions.

Dashboard:
A compact info panel displaying lower timeframe settings and validation status.

Custom Styling:
Adjustable colors, line styles, and label visibility for clean charting.

🧠 Ideal For:
Traders studying ICT concepts, smart money theories, and price-action-based strategies who want a visual tool for analysis and backtesting.

How to Use:

Wait for a Liquidity Grab (SFP) to form

The first condition for a potential entry is the formation of a Stop Hunt / Swing Failure Pattern (SFP).

This indicates that liquidity has been taken above or below a key level (e.g., previous high/low), and the market may be ready to reverse.

Confirmation with Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Market Structure Shift (MSS)

After the SFP, do not enter immediately. Wait for confirmation:

FVG: A Fair Value Gap (an imbalance in price action) must appear, signaling potential institutional activity.

MSS: A Market Structure Shift (break in the current trend) confirms a possible trend reversal or strong corrective move.

Enter the trade

Once both the FVG and MSS are confirmed after the SFP, you can safely enter a trade in the direction of the shift.

Alert Feature

The indicator includes an alert system to notify you when all conditions are met (SFP + FVG + MSS), so you can react quickly without constantly watching the chart.
