ICT Premium/Discount Zones [Exponential-X]Premium/Discount Zones - Visual Market Structure Tool
Overview
This indicator helps traders visualize premium and discount price zones based on recent market structure. It automatically identifies swing highs and lows within a specified lookback period and divides the price range into three key areas: Premium Zone, Equilibrium, and Discount Zone.
What This Indicator Does
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates:
Highest High and Lowest Low within the lookback period
Equilibrium Level - the midpoint between the swing high and low
Premium Zone - the area from equilibrium to the swing high (typically viewed as relatively expensive price levels)
Discount Zone - the area from the swing low to equilibrium (typically viewed as relatively cheap price levels)
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses pivot point logic to identify significant swing highs and lows based on the pivot strength parameter. It then calculates the highest high and lowest low over the specified lookback period. The equilibrium is computed as the arithmetic mean of these two extremes, creating a fair value reference point.
The zones are dynamically updated as new price data becomes available, ensuring the visualization remains relevant to current market conditions.

Important Considerations
This indicator identifies zones based purely on historical price data
Premium and discount zones are relative to the recent lookback period
The effectiveness varies across different market conditions and timeframes
Should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not in isolation
Past price structure does not guarantee future price behavior
Technical Details
Calculation Method
Uses Pine Script's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions for swing detection
Employs ta.highest() and ta.lowest() for range calculation
Updates dynamically with each new bar
Draws zones using box objects for clear visual representation
Performance Optimization
Efficiently manages box and line objects to minimize resource usage
Uses conditional plotting to reduce unnecessary calculations
Limited to essential visual elements for chart clarity
Timeframe Compatibility
This indicator works on all timeframes but the recommended settings vary:
1-5 minute charts: Lookback period 10-20, Pivot strength 3-5
15-60 minute charts: Lookback period 20-50, Pivot strength 5-10
Daily charts: Lookback period 50-100, Pivot strength 10-15
Weekly charts: Lookback period 20-50, Pivot strength 5-10
Adjust these values based on the volatility of your specific instrument.
Limitations and Considerations
What This Indicator Does NOT Do
Does not provide buy or sell signals on its own
Does not predict future price movements
Does not account for fundamental factors or market events
Does not guarantee profitability or accuracy
Market Condition Awareness
In strong trending markets, price may remain in premium or discount zones for extended periods
During ranging conditions, price typically oscillates between zones more predictably
High volatility can cause frequent zone recalculations
Low volatility may result in narrow zones with limited practical use
Risk Considerations
Premium and discount are relative concepts, not absolute values
What appears as a discount zone may continue lower in a downtrend
What appears as a premium zone may continue higher in an uptrend
Always use proper risk management and position sizing
Consider multiple timeframe analysis for context
Version Information
This indicator is written in Pine Script v6, ensuring compatibility with the latest TradingView features and optimal performance.
Final Notes
This tool is designed to enhance your market analysis by providing a clear visual representation of premium and discount price zones. It should be used as one component of a well-rounded trading approach that includes proper risk management, multiple forms of analysis, and realistic expectations about market behavior.
The concept of premium and discount zones is rooted in auction market theory and the idea that price oscillates around fair value. However, traders should understand that these zones are interpretive tools based on historical data and do not constitute trading advice or predictions about future price action.
Remember to backtest any strategy using this indicator on historical data before applying it to live trading, and always trade responsibly within your risk tolerance.

ICT Quant-Core: Liquidity Intelligence [Dual-Engine]🔥 THE ULTIMATE LIQUIDITY FILTERING ENGINE
Most SMC traders lose money because they "catch falling knives" on every local wick. This algorithm solves this problem by using DUAL-CORE logic and a signal quality scoring system.
This is no ordinary pivot indicator.
⚙️ HOW DOES IT WORK? (DUAL-CORE LOGIC)
The algorithm analyzes the market on two levels simultaneously:
1️⃣ MACRO CORE (Lookback 50 - "WHALE 🐋")
Tracks key levels from recent weeks/months.
This is where institutions build their positions.
Signals from this core have the highest priority (Score 10/10).
2️⃣ LOCAL CORE (Lookback 20 - "ROACH 🐟")
Tracks internal market structure and noise.
Signals are filtered by the Main Trend. If the trend is down, Local Longs are marked as "TRAP."
🧠 SMART FILTERS (QUANT LAYERS)
Instead of entering on every line touch, the script requires confirmation:
✅ RECLAIM LOGIC: Price must close back above/below the liquidity level (Swing Failure Pattern).
✅ RVOL FILTER: Requires relative volume > 1.2x the average (institutional track).
✅ SCORING SYSTEM (0-10): Each signal receives a score.
- 10/10: Macro Grab in line with the trend + high volume.
- 3/10: Local Grab against the trend (risky).
📊 ANALYTICAL DASHBOARD
In the lower right corner, you'll find the "Command Center":
- Trend Status (Distribution/Accumulation)
- Whale's Last Move (Price and Direction)
- Current Tactics (e.g., "Ignore Longs, Search for Shorts")
- Filter Status (RSI, Volume, Reclaim)
🚀 HOW TO USE IT?
1. Set the H4 timeframe.
2. Wait for a signal with a rating > 7/10.
3. Ignore "Fish/Local" signals (small icons) if they contradict the Dashboard color.
4. Entry occurs only after the candle closes (Reclaim).

Nirmal Fair Value GapsICT Fair Value Gaps
Trade Wisely
How a Fair Value Gap Works
Formation:
A Fair Value Gap occurs when a strong price movement (usually from institutional orders) creates an imbalance between buyers and sellers.
This is typically seen in a three-candle pattern, where the middle candle has a large body, and the two surrounding candles have wicks but little overlap with the middle candle’s range.
Identification:
The FVG is marked between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (for bullish gaps).
For bearish gaps, it’s the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.
Market Behavior Around FVG:
Price often retraces into the gap before resuming its original direction.
This happens because the market seeks to "fill" the imbalance where few trades occurred.
Traders use FVGs as potential entry zones for trend continuation trades.
Trading Fair Value Gaps
In an Uptrend:
Look for bullish fair value gaps as potential support zones for buy entries.
Price may dip into the gap and then continue upward.
In a Downtrend:
Look for bearish fair value gaps as potential resistance zones for sell entries.
Price may retrace into the gap and then drop further.
Confluence Factors:
FVGs work best when combined with other strategies like order blocks, liquidity zones, or key Fibonacci levels.
ICT MACROS (UTC-4)This Pine Script creates an indicator that draws vertical lines on a TradingView chart to mark specific time intervals during the day. It allows the user to see when certain predefined time periods start and end, using vertical lines of different colors. The script is designed to work with time frames aligned to the UTC-4 timezone.
### Key Features of the Script
1. **Vertical Line Drawing Function**:
- The script uses a custom function, `draw_vertical_line`, to draw vertical lines at specific times.
- This function takes four parameters:
- `specificTime`: The specific timestamp when the vertical line should be drawn.
- `lineColor`: The color of the vertical line.
- `labelText`: The text label for the line (used internally for debugging purposes).
- `adjustment_minutes`: An integer value that allows time adjustment (in minutes) to make the lines align more accurately with the chart’s candles.
- The function calculates an adjusted time using the `adjustment_minutes` parameter and checks if the current time (`time`) falls within a 3-minute range of the adjusted time. If it does, it draws a vertical line.
2. **User Input for Time Adjustment**:
- The `adjustment_minutes` input allows users to fine-tune the appearance of the lines by shifting them slightly forward or backward in time to ensure they align with the chart candles. This is useful because of potential minor discrepancies between the script’s timestamps and the chart’s actual candle times.
3. **Predefined Time Intervals**:
- The script specifies six different time intervals (using the UTC-4 timezone) and draws vertical lines to mark the start and end of each interval:
- **First interval**: 8:50 - 9:10 AM
- **Second interval**: 9:50 - 10:10 AM
- **Third interval**: 10:50 - 11:10 AM
- **Fourth interval**: 13:10 - 13:40 PM
- **Fifth interval**: 14:50 - 15:10 PM
- **Sixth interval**: 15:15 - 15:45 PM
- For each interval, there are two timestamps: the start time and the end time. The script draws a green vertical line for the start and a red vertical line for the end.
4. **Line Drawing Logic**:
- For each time interval, the script calculates the timestamp using the `timestamp()` function with the specified time in UTC-4.
- The `draw_vertical_line` function is called twice for each interval: once for the start time (with a green line) and once for the end time (with a red line).
5. **Visual Overlay**:
- The script uses the `overlay=true` setting, which means that the vertical lines are drawn directly on top of the existing price chart. This helps in visually identifying the specific time intervals without cluttering the chart.
### Summary
This Pine Script is designed for traders or analysts who want to visualize specific time intervals directly on their TradingView charts. It provides a customizable way to highlight these intervals using vertical lines, making it easier to analyze price action or trading volume during key times of the day. The `adjustment_minutes` input adds flexibility to align these lines accurately with chart data.

ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones
Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.
The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
Combining kill zones and pivot points in financial market analysis provides several advantages :
Enhanced Market Sentiment Analysis : Aligns key price levels with high-activity periods for a clearer market sentiment.
Improved Timing for Trade Entries and Exits : Helps better time trades based on when price movements are most likely.
Higher Probability of Successful Trades : Increases the accuracy of predicting market movements and placing profitable trades.
Strategic Stop-Loss and Profit Target Placement : Allows for precise risk management by strategically setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Versatility Across Different Time Frames : Effective in both short and long time frames, suitable for various trading strategies.
Enhanced Trend Identification and Confirmation : Confirms trends using both pivot levels and high-activity periods, ensuring stronger trend validation.
In essence, this integrated approach enhances decision-making, optimizes trading performance, and improves risk management.
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points
There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.

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.
