AsianRange and KillZonesAsia Range Shadow Box and ICT Killzones
If you watch ICT on youtube you will know what to do with this :-)
I had found a lot of great ideas but none of them completely had what I was personally looking for so I put all of the great ideas I had found and added my own twist to it.
I wanted a easily customizable indicator that did the following
- Showed the Asia Range (customizable time)
- Allowed Asia range high and low to be extended
- Fill the asia range or just have it outlined
- The ability to have 4 customizable zones (default to ICT kill zones) but you can make them whatever you want
- Ability to turn off various zones if you want (Maybe you just want a New York Session and thats it)
I also place a "Max timeframe to display" - Personally I don't want this showing on anything over a 60min chart so you can adjust that parameter (in minutes) to your liking.
This was also fully converted to pine v4
I hope in a future revision to take use of the new "box" feature to get a cleaner box around Asia session.

Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Low Detection
Efficient Liquidity Sweep Visualization for Smart Money Traders
This script automatically identifies and plots liquidity-rich swing lows based on pivot logic, filters them to remove redundant levels, and overlays daily highs/lows for added context — giving Smart Money Concept (SMC) traders a clean, actionable map of liquidity.
It’s designed to be minimal yet powerful: perfect for spotting potential liquidity grabs, mitigation zones, and sweep targets with zero chart clutter.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Smart Swing Lows
Uses fixed pivot detection (left = 3, right = customizable) to identify structurally significant swing lows.
Filters out swing lows that are too close together using a percentage-based spacing threshold to reduce noise.
Mitigation Cleanup Logic
Tracks whether recent price action breaches past swing lows.
If breached, the swing level is automatically removed, keeping only relevant, unmitigated liquidity levels on your chart.
Plots Daily Highs and Lows
Each new trading day, horizontal rays mark the prior day’s high and low — useful for identifying resting liquidity and possible sweep zones.
Labeling and Style Customization
Optional labels for swing lows.
Full control over label size, color, and visibility to match any chart aesthetic.
Timeframe Filtering
Runs exclusively on 5m, 10m, and 15m charts to ensure optimal reliability and signal clarity.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Pivot sensitivity (Right side control)
Minimum distance between swing lows (in %)
Label visibility, size, and color
Line width and colors for both swing levels and daily highs/lows
Mitigation cleanup lookback length
💡 How to Use:
Add the script to a qualifying intraday chart (5–15m).
Use the swing low levels to monitor liquidity-rich zones.
Combine with your personal strategy to identify liquidity grabs, potential reversal zones, or entry points following a sweep.
Let the built-in cleanup logic remove any already-mitigated levels so you can focus on active targets.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This isn’t just another pivot plotter — it’s a smart, self-cleaning SMC tool designed for modern liquidity-based trading strategies.
A must-have for traders using concepts like liquidity grabs, mitigation blocks, or sweep-to-reverse trade models.
🔗 Best used in combination with:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector: Pinpoint the day’s first imbalance zone for intraday setups.
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels: Confluence-based entries powered by liquidity logic, order blocks, and premium/discount zones.
Used together, these scripts form a complete Smart Money toolkit — helping you build high-probability setups with confidence, clarity, and clean charts.
Trading Sessions [BigBeluga]
This indicator brings Smart Money Concept (ICT) session logic to life by plotting key global trading sessions with volume and delta analytics. It not only highlights session ranges but also tracks their midpoints — which often act as intraday support/resistance levels.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Visual session boxes: Plots boxes for Tokyo, London, New York, and Sydney sessions based on user-defined UTC+0 time ranges.
Volume & delta metrics: Displays total volume and delta volume (buy–sell difference) within each session.
Mid, High & Low Range Extension: Once a session ends, the high, low, and midpoint levels automatically extend — ideal for detecting SR zones.
Session labels: Each box includes a label with session name, time, volume, and delta for quick reference.
Custom session control: Enable or disable sessions individually and configure start/end times.
Clean aesthetics: Transparent shaded boxes with subtle borders make it easy to overlay without clutter.
Sessions Dashboard: Shows the time range of each session and tells you whether the session is currently active.
🔵 USAGE
Enable the sessions you want to monitor (e.g., New York or Tokyo) from the settings.
Use session volume and delta values to gauge the strength and direction of institutional activity.
Watch for price interaction with the extended range — it often acts as dynamic support/resistance after the session ends.
Overlay it with liquidity tools or breaker blocks for intraday strategy alignment.
🔵 EXAMPLES
Extended Future Range acted as resistance/support.
Delta value helped confirm bullish pressure during New York open.
Multiple sessions helped identify kill zone overlaps and high-volume turns.
Trading Sessions is more than just a visual scheduler — it's a precision tool for traders who align with session-based volume dynamics and ICT methodology. Use it to define high-probability zones, confirm volume shifts, and read deeper into the true intent behind market structure.
Session Coloring Bar with ICT Macro [dani]The Session Coloring Bar is customizable Pine Script indicator designed to visually enhance your charts by applying unique colors to specific trading sessions or timeframes. This tool allows traders to easily identify and differentiate between macro sessions (e.g., 24-hour cycles) and custom-defined sessions (e.g., Session A, Session B), making it ideal for analyzing market activity during specific periods.
In the context of trading, the term "ICT Macro" , as discussed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT), refers to specific timeframes or "windows" where market behavior often follows predictable patterns. Traders typically focus on the last 10 minutes of an hour and the first 10 minutes of the next hour (e.g., 0150-0210 , 0050-0110 , or 0950-1010 ) to identify key price movements, liquidity shifts, or market inefficiencies.
This script highlights these macro timeframes, enabling traders to visually analyze price action during these critical periods. Use this tool to support your strategy, but always combine it with your own analysis and risk management.
With this indicator, you can:
Highlight Macro Sessions : Automatically color bars based on predefined 24-hour macro sessions.
Customize Session Settings : Define up to three custom sessions (A & B) with individual start/end times, visibility toggles, and unique bar colors.
Timeframe Filtering : Hide session coloring above a specified timeframe to avoid clutter on higher timeframes.
Personal Notes : Add comments to each session for better organization and quick reference.
Dynamic Color Logic : Bars are colored based on their direction (up, down, or neutral) within the active session.
How to Use:
Enable/Disable Sessions :
Use the Show Coloring toggle to enable or disable session coloring for Macro, Session A, Session B, or Session C.
Set Session Times :
Define the start and end times for each session in the format HHMM-HHMM (e.g., 1600-0930 for an overnight session).
Choose Colors :
Assign unique colors for upward (Bar Up) and downward (Bar Down) bars within each session.
Adjust Timeframe Visibility :
Use the Hide above this TF input to specify the maximum timeframe where session coloring will be visible.
Add Notes :
Use the Comment field to add personal notes or labels for each session.
Example Use Cases:
Overnight Sessions :
Highlight overnight trading hours (e.g., 1600-0930) to analyze price action during low liquidity periods.
Asian/European/US Sessions : Define separate sessions for major trading regions to track regional market behavior.
Macro Analysis : Use the predefined 24-hour macro sessions to study hourly price movements across a full trading day.
Disclaimer:
The Session Coloring Bar is not a trading signal generator and does not predict market direction or provide buy/sell signals. Instead, it is a visualization tool designed to help you identify and analyze specific trading sessions or timeframes on your chart. By highlighting key sessions and their corresponding price movements, this indicator enables you to focus on periods of interest and make more informed trading decisions.

Overview
Enigma Unlocked 2.0 is an advanced and highly customizable indicator designed to deliver actionable buy and sell signals by leveraging precise candlestick logic during specific market transitions. This indicator is built for flexibility, helping traders identify high-probability trade setups during key trading periods, specifically the transitions between the Asian Kill Zone and London Kill Zone as well as the London Kill Zone and New York Kill Zone on the 30-minute timeframe.
By combining Enigma Unlocked 2.0 with the ICT Killzones & Pivots indicator, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the timing and location of these transitions. Waiting for signals during these defined kill zones increases the likelihood of finding high-probability trade setups.
How to Use
Follow the Kill Zone Transitions:
Use the ICT Killzones & Pivots indicator to clearly visualize the boundaries of the Asian, London, and New York kill zones.
Focus on the signals generated by Enigma Unlocked 2.0 that align with these kill zone transitions.
Plotting Entries and Targets with Gann Box:
For Buy Signals:
Use the Gann Box tool to mark the high and low of the signal candle.
Ensure your Gann Box settings include only the 50%, 0%, and 100% levels.
Your entry zone lies between the 50% and 100% levels (discount zone). This is where buy trades are expected to offer an optimal risk-reward ratio.
For Sell Signals:
Similarly, plot the Gann Box on the high and low of the signal candle.
The 50% to 100% zone acts as the premium area for sell trades.
Setting Stop Loss and Targets:
To identify a safe stop loss, split the 50% zone of the Gann Box using another Gann Box.
Draw the secondary Gann Box from 50% to 100% of the initial box, then extend it to double the height.
For sell trades, place the stop loss above the extended 100% level.
For buy trades, place the stop loss below the extended 100% level.
Aim for a minimum of 1:1 risk-to-reward to ensure optimal trade management.
How It Works
Buy Logic:
Buy Logic 1: Detects a bullish candle (close > open) that:
Closes above its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a low lower than the previous candle's low.
Buy Logic 2: Identifies a bearish candle (close < open) that:
Closes above its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a low lower than the previous candle's low.
Sell Logic:
Sell Logic 1: Detects a bearish candle (close < open) that:
Closes below its midpoint (50% of the candle body).
Has a high higher than the previous candle's high.
Sell Logic 2: Identifies a bullish candle (close > open) that:
Closes below its midpoint (50% of the candle body).

Premium & Discount Delta Volume [BigBeluga]Premium & Discount Delta Volume is an advanced volume-based tool that helps traders identify zones of market imbalances by using the concepts of premium and discount pricing, commonly taught by ICT trader. It calculates and highlights periods where the market is trading at a premium (selling pressure is stronger) or a discount (buying pressure is stronger) and dynamically plots these zones over time. The indicator also calculates delta volume between buying and selling within these zones, showing shifts in market sentiment and potential areas for reversals or continuations.
🔵 IDEA
The Premium & Discount Delta Volume indicator is rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept of premium and discount zones. This concept divides the price action into two key zones:
Premium Zone : This area is where the market is trading at a level where sellers dominate, leading to more selling pressure. The idea is that the price is overvalued, and a potential drop could occur as the market reverts to a balanced state.
Discount Zone : This area is where the market is undervalued, with buyers dominating and applying upward pressure. Prices in this area often indicate opportunities to buy into strength as the market moves back to equilibrium.
At the core of the indicator is the delta volume, which measures the difference between buying and selling pressure within the premium and discount zones. When the delta volume is negative, it signals a downtrend with more selling pressure, while a positive delta volume signals an uptrend with more buying pressure. These zones and their associated delta values update dynamically, providing traders with real-time insights into market strength and potential price reversals.
The equilibrium in the middle of the premium and discount zones represents the balance point between buyers and sellers. When price moves away from equilibrium, it either enters the premium zone (potentially overbought) or the discount zone (potentially oversold), helping traders make more informed decisions based on volume and price structure.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Premium & Discount Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies and plots premium and discount zones on the chart. Premium zones count only negative (selling) volume, while discount zones count only positive (buying) volume. These zones are key areas of interest for identifying potential price reversals or continuations based on volume pressure.
Dynamic Delta Volume Calculation:
The indicator calculates delta volume between the premium and discount zones, showing the imbalance between buyers and sellers. A positive delta volume inside the discount zone suggests strong buying pressure, while a negative delta inside the premium zone suggests strong selling pressure. This helps traders quickly identify trends or market exhaustion.
Up Trend:
Down Trend:
Real-time Updates & Equilibrium Line:
The zones update dynamically every 100 bars or after price crosses them, ensuring that traders always have the most relevant market data. The equilibrium line in the middle of the zones helps traders gauge whether the market is balanced or moving into overbought (premium) or oversold (discount) territory.
Macro and Local Period Calculations:
The indicator allows traders to customize two different periods for analysis: a smaller lookback period (e.g., 50 bars) for short-term price action and a macro period (e.g., 200 bars) for larger trends. Each period has its own premium and discount zones, allowing for a multi-timeframe view of market strength.
Macro:
Both:
Color-coded background for Volume Pressure:
The background color of the smaller period premium and discount box changes based on delta volume. A positive delta turns the background blue, indicating higher buy pressure, while a negative delta turns the background red, signaling higher sell pressure.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Toggle Premium & Discount: Traders can choose to display support and resistance levels based on the high and low points of the premium and discount zones.
Premium & Discount Lookback Period: Traders can adjust the lookback period to define the length of price action to be analyzed for premium and discount zones. A shorter period focuses on more recent market activity, while a longer period provides a broader view of trends.
Macro Highs/Lows Period: The indicator also offers a macro lookback period for identifying larger market trends and key levels of buying or selling volume.
Toggle Macro Levels: Macro levels help identify long-term price extremes, and traders can toggle this feature on or off as needed.
Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert🔵 Introduction
In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure.
🟣 Order Block
An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels.
🟣 Breaker Block
On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB)
Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions.
In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions.
Bullish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
Bearish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
🔵 How to Use
The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts.
🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading
1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move.
Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone.
2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues.
If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible.
3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate.
Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable.
4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold.
5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points.
Bullish Overlapping Block :
Bearish Overlapping Block :
🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block
1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points.
2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk.
3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area.
4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market.
5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.

These zones, due to the combination of two key concepts in technical analysis, hold significant importance and can help traders make more confident trading decisions.
Although this concept is not specifically discussed in the ICT framework and is introduced as a new idea, traders can achieve better results in their trades through practice and testing.
Utilizing the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, can significantly improve the chances of success in trading.
Volume Gaps and ImbalancesThis Pine script indicator is designed to visually depict price inefficiencies, as identified by Volume Imbalances (VI) or Gaps. A Volume Gap is a scenario where the wicks of two successive candles don’t intersect, while an Imbalance occurs when only the wicks overlap, leaving the bodies apart. These zones of inefficiency frequently act as magnets for price, with the market striving rebalance in accordance with ICT principles.
Relevance:
Volume Gaps/Imbalances are zones of highly inefficient price delivery as per ICT concepts and represent a very strong draw to price. Price will often seek to rebalance those zones to ensure efficient price delivery. Consequently, these zones can provide good targets for entries in the opposite direction or take profit targets for previous entries in the direction of the Gap/Imbalance.
How It Works:
The indicator keeps track of all Gaps/Imbalances from the beginning of the available history. It automatically removes all mitigated Gaps/Imbalances, which are situations where the price has at least reached the bottom of a bullish gap or the top of a bearish gap.
On the last bar, the most recent valid gaps are highlighted with a box drawn from the start to the end of the gap. The start of a bullish gap is determined by the highest price of the previous candle’s open or close, while for bearish gaps, it’s the lowest price of the previous candle’s open or close. Conversely, the end of a bullish gap is the lowest price of the current candle’s open or close, and for bearish gaps, it’s the highest price of the current candle’s open or close.
To enhance the indicator’s speed and minimize chart noise, only the most recent gaps will be displayed, up to the limit set in the indicator settings.
Each displayed VI/GAP will indicate the size of the imbalance in ticks. For imbalances greater than 3 ticks, which represent stronger draws of liquidity, the color transparency will be reduced, and the text will be made more prominent. Volume Gaps are also marked with a 🧲 emoji for easy visual identification.
The indicator will automatically extend the boxes representing valid imbalances to the current bar for as long as the imbalance is not mitigated.
If an imbalance has been tapped, but not mitigated, the indicator will append 🚩emoji to denote that the imbalance has been partially mitigated and may no longer have as strong of a draw for price.
Configurability:
A user may configure the number of imbalances to show, the setting applies to bullish/bearish imbalances individually. This setting can be set to any value from 1 – 50.
Appearance wise, color, style and color transparency of each box representing an imbalance can be configured. The imbalance box label can be configured by setting the text size, along with the vertical & horizontal alignment.
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeps valid imbalances on the chart, with a limit on the # drawn
Indicates the size of the gap and provides visual markets to denote stronger, weaker and partially mitigated gaps
Propulsion Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Propulsion Blocks indicator! This new indicator can find & render ICT's propulsion blocks in the current ticker. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings. For more information, please visit the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new Propulsion Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Propulsion Blocks
Customizable Algorithm
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart. One of which this indicator uses requires a large engulfing candlestick right after another one of the opposite direction. Then if the price comes back to retest the area that two candlesticks create, then it's an order block pattern.
Propulsion blocks are a specific type of order block used in the trading methodology. They build on the concept of order blocks and aim to identify potential areas for strong price movements. They are detected when a candlestick wicks to any existing order block, retesting it. Then a strong momentum in the direction of the order block is needed for the propulsion block to get created. Check this example :
You can use them as entry / exit points, or for confirmations for your trades. For example, a successful retest attempt to a bullish propulsion block might hint a strong bullish momentum. This indicator works best when used together with other ICT concepts.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Propulsion blocks can help traders identify key levels in a chart, and can be used mainly for confirmation. This indicator can identify and show them automatically in your chart, and provides customization settings for order & propulsion block detection and invalidation. Another capability of the indicator is that it combines overlapping order & propulsion blocks so you will have a clean look at the chart without any overlapping zones.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This setting will hide invalidated propulsion blocks if enabled.
Max Distance To Last Bar -> This setting defines the maximum range that the indicator will find propulsion blocks to the past. Higher options will make older zones visible.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block & Propulsion Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
Hourly Opening PriceThe Inner Circle Trader has noted that the Opening Price of every Hourly candle can be used in a Power Of 3 (PO3) context.
If Bullish, buy BELOW the hourly open.
If Bearish, sell ABOVE the hourly open.
The Power of 3 ICT model also know as "AMD" is a transformative trading strategy, ingeniously designed to streamline your time analyzing charts by focusing on three pivotal phases in market behavior: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.
The ICT Power of Three Model dissects the market maker’s algorithm for price delivery into three pivotal actions: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution. Accumulation involves smart money gathering positions before a price surge, while manipulation sees the market creating deceptive movements to trigger stops. Finally, distribution occurs as smart money offloads positions, often catching less informed traders off-guard. This strategy is a critical tool for traders to understand market makers’ maneuvers and to strategically position themselves in the market.
This indicator plots a line at the opening price of each hour and extends it on the chart for the duration of the hour. Each hour starts a new line.
You also have the option of extending the midnight opening price line across the entire trading day.
Investify360 ICT IndicatorThe Investify360 ICT Indicator is designed to follow the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategy. It provides essential buy and sell signals based on price movements relative to a simple moving average (SMA). The indicator is built to be beginner-friendly with clear labels and color-coded signals.
Key Features
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
The script calculates a simple moving average based on a user-defined period (length), defaulting to 14 periods. This moving average helps smooth out price data and identify trends.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the current price (src, defaulting to the close price) crosses above the SMA. This event is typically interpreted as a potential upward trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the current price crosses below the SMA. This event is often interpreted as a potential downward trend.
These signals are visually represented on the chart with up and down labels respectively.
Labels and Colors:
Buy Signal: Displayed with an up label (BUY) in green color.
Sell Signal: Displayed with a down label (SELL) in red color.
The colors for these signals can be customized through the script inputs (buyColor and sellColor).
Beginner-Friendly Labels:
To assist beginners, the script includes a label at the start of the chart indicating the position of the moving average line (MA Line). This label is shown on the first bar to clarify the purpose of the plotted line.
Plotting the Moving Average:
The SMA is plotted on the chart with a yellow line, making it easily distinguishable. The moving average line helps traders visualize the trend direction.
Market Structure (Intrabar) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Intrabar) indicator is designed to automatically detect and highlight real-time intrabar market structures, a core component of the Smart Money Concepts methodology.
🔶 USAGE
The proposed indicator gives a detailed picture of the most recent candle lower timeframe trends, highlighting market structures within them.
This can be particularly useful to assess the price dynamic within the most recent candle. For example, we can see how pronounced a trend is by the number of opposite bullish/bearish market structures formed within the candle.
Users can select the intrabar timeframe of interest from the "Intrabar Timeframe" setting, using a timeframe significantly lower than the chart timeframe will return more intrabar candles and potentially more market structures.
🔹 Dashboard
Users have access to a dashboard returning useful statistics such as the number of formed CHoCH's and BOS's from the intrabar prices. These can be indicative of how predominant a trend is within the intrabar data or if there exist multiple trends.
🔶 DETAILS
Market structures allow determining trend continuations as well as trend reversals in the market through two distinct structures:
🔹 Change of Character (CHoCH)
A change of character (CHoCH) refers to a shift in the market behavior of a security that is driven by changes in the underlying supply and demand dynamics. CHoCH's are indicative of confirmed reversals.
🔹 Break of Structure (BoS)
The break of structure (BoS) refers to the point at which a key level of support or resistance is broken. BOS's are indicative of confirmed trend continuations.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Inside the Bar Market Structure
Intrabar Timeframe: Lower timeframe setting option, if set to 'Auto' the script will determine the lower timeframe based on the chart timeframe.
Intrabar Market Structure, Length: Toggles the visibility of the break of structures and change of characters. Length defines the detection length of the swing levels.
Intrabar Swing Levels: Toggles the visibility of the swing levels, including a color customization option for highs and lows.
Intrabar Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard. Some further statistical details are presented in the tooltips of the table cells
🔹 General
Market Structure Colors: Color customization option for the break of structure and change of character lines and labels.
Intrabar Candle Colors: Color customization option for intrabar candles.
Intrabar Candles Horizontal Offset: Adjusting the intrabar candles horizontal position
Dashboard: Dashboard position and size customization option
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Please note that seconds-based intervals are available for premium and professional plan holders, which implies that the seconds-based intervals usage of the indicator may not be available for all users depending on their subscription plan.

Smart-Money-Concepts
ICT-Concepts
Liquidity-Finder ICT / SMCIn the context of ICT and the Smart Money Concept, liquidity is likely viewed as a crucial factor for determining the strength and sustainability of a market move. Smart Money is often associated with large institutional traders who have the ability to influence liquidity.
Liquidity Sweep:
A liquidity sweep in this context might involve Smart Money intentionally executing trades across various price levels to assess market depth and liquidity. This information can be used to identify potential areas of interest for Smart Money to initiate or exit positions without causing significant price disruptions.
Stop Hunt:
Stop hunting is a concept that Smart Money traders may employ to deliberately trigger stop orders in the market. By doing so, they can create temporary price movements that allow them to accumulate or liquidate positions at more favorable prices before the market reacts.
Smart Money Concept (SMC):
The Smart Money Concept revolves around the idea that large institutional traders (Smart Money) have superior information and resources compared to retail traders. Understanding the behavior of Smart Money, as taught in ICT and SMC, involves analyzing market dynamics, order flow, and liquidity to make more informed trading decisions.
Liquidating:
Liquidating refers to the process of selling or closing out existing positions. In the context of Smart Money, the term could imply that institutional traders are actively managing their positions, either taking profits or cutting losses strategically based on their analysis of market conditions.
The Indicator
The Indicator show open liquidity as solid lines and liquidates liquidity as dashed lines
Is able to send alerts for liquidity level was liquidated, liquidity level was dipped or the next close is on the other side
Session Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Session Sweeps indicator combines ICT-based features for a complete trading methodology involving market sessions, market structure, and fair value gaps to find optimal entry conditions for trading price action.
Traders frequently tend to place stop/limit orders at the high and low points of major trading sessions such as Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and North American (New York), resulting in the establishment of liquidity pools at those particular levels. The Session Sweeps indicator is crafted to recognize and underscore occurrences of session sweeps or liquidity sweeps during these major trading sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Default settings utilize major forex trading sessions, yet users can select their preferred opening and closing times, rename the sessions, or adjust the colors. It's important to note that the specified times for each session align with the respective local timezones: Asian (Tokyo) UTC+9, European (London) UTC, and North American (New York) UTC-5.
If the price briefly crosses either the highest or lowest point of a market session. These movements, aiming at triggering stop losses, suggest potential shifts in the market direction. Detecting such movements is the fundamental purpose and core functionality of the script.
🔹Market Structure Shifts
A Market Structure Shift refers to a change in market direction, either from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. A part of a common entry model when using session sweeps is waiting for the formation of a CHoCH after a session sweep.
🔹Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) holds particular appeal for price action traders, emerging when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, often a result of uneven buying and selling activity. The underlying concept of FVGs is that the market tends to revisit these inefficiencies before resuming its trajectory in alignment with the initial impulsive move.
After the formation of a CHoCH traders can enter a position when the price enters the area of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹Setup Examples
This entry setup is commonly used by ICT traders and is shared for informational & educational purposes only.
Long Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's low to be swept.
Look for a Bullish Choch.
Find a Bullish FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the session high or aim for a 1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session low or nearest Swing Low.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
Short Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's high to be swept.
Look for a Bearish Choch.
Find a FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the previous session's low or aim for a 1:2 RR.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session high or nearest Swing High.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.

One Setup for Life ICTGuided by ICT tutoring, I create this versatile 'One Trading Set Up For Life' indicator
This indicator shows a different way of viewing the "Highs and Lows" of Previous Sessions, drawing from the current day until 09:30 AM, the time at which the Highs and Lows of the previous day's sessions can be taken into consideration for a Reversal or for a Take profit.
Levels tested after 9.30am will be blocked so you have a good and clear view of the levels affected
Timing Session =
London: 02:00 to 05:00
New York: 9.30am to 12.30pm
Lunch: 12.30pm to 1pm
PM Session: 1.30pm to 4pm
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose to view sessions or not
- Choose to show levels from previous sessions
- Choose to show today's session levels
- Choose between 08:30 and 09:30 the starting time for the Liquidity taken
- Choose to view High and Low only from the previous day
- See both the name of the Sessions and the price of the levels
The indicator must be used as ICT shows in its concepts, the indicator takes into consideration both previous sessions and today's sessions, and the session levels can be used both for a reversal and for a possible Take Profit like the example here under
Reversal =
Possible Take Profit =

itradesize /\ Overnight Session & Silver BulletOvernight Session & Silver Bullet indicator
The indicator can be divided into two separate stuff:
ONS ( Overnight Session ) based on TCM’s ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) theory and Silver Bullet based on what ICT ( InnerCircleTrader ) is teaching to us.
Overnight Session
• ONS will be always based on Chicago 4am to 8am time according to TCM’s CME teaching.
The indicator has the option to show TSO ( Today’s session only ) which is good to have the chart not messed up by it. At this time when it comes to backtesting just turn this off to have the past ONS and SB ranges showed up on your chart.
• Mid line at the ONS range is useful to have as you are able to decide wether price is in a premium or a discount under the ONS.
If Im a buyer target is above the range, if Im a seller target is below the range.
• You are also able to have SD ( Standard Deviation ) lines for price projections. In the variety of TCM’s videos you are able to have a deeper knowledge.
• You can also extend Today’s ONS lines to the very end of the chart which could make an easier looking on the levels you eyeing with.
Silver Bullet
It’s based on New York time as ICT ( Inner Circle Trader ) is always teaching to us that we should use New York time, every time when it comes to his concepts.
Silver Bullets are always be there aiming of an opposing liquidity pool. They are working even on choppy days.
Silver Bullet hours:
• 03:00 - 04:00am NY Time
• 10:00 - 11:00am NY Time
• 02:00 - 03:00pm NY Time
SB highlighted areas could be shown as a box or a range according to your taste, with or without Start/End lines.
Both of them ca be used to form trades.
You should dig yourself into Silver Bullet ( InnerCircleTrader ) and Overnight Session ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) teachings before the use of the indicator.
Simple setups
• Silver Bullet
Look 20-30 minutes before any SB where the Buy or Sell program has started.
Where the first 1m FVG ( Fair Value Gap ) appears under the range, enter the trade.
Expect only a 5 handle move as a beginner.
1m chart is a must for these kind of FVG entries. ( 30s , 15s can also be used )
• ONS
Price is trading aggressively out of the range to take liquidity.
Once price grabbed liquidity that candle on the 3-5m could considered as on order block for the further movement.
If you are trading in the range, then the opposite side can be the target, if its out of the range and trading one sided, then use standard deviations as 0.5 is a minimum target.
Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)
////••Credits:
•Credit to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) for some of the concepts used in this indicator (FVGS & CEs; Grade sweeps).
•Credit to @Icecold_crypto for the specific and novel concept of identifying CHoCHs in a simple, objective and effective manner (as demonstrated in the 1st chart below).

SMC sessionzz by JelleThe main function of this indicator is to make it easy to identify several smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT practices by using a single indicator. The functions themselves are not my original content, but rather a collection of several scripts with some tweaking, combined into a single indicator.
Main functions:
- Provides the ability to set bar color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to set background color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to indicate NY and GMT midnight on the chart by plotting vertical lines
- Provides several smart features to turn bar color and background color on/off depending on the timeframe
Usage example:
- Easily determine each session high and low by using the bar color feature
- Easily determine the daily high and low by using the vertical midnight lines
- Easily determine ICT kill zones by setting background color for each session
- Easily avoid clutter on your chart by using the timeframe filters
FVGs & CEs + Alerts: simple & efficient methodFair Value Gap indicator: Paints FVGs and their midlines (CEs). Stops painting when CE is hit, or when fully filled; user choice of threshold. This threshold is also used in the Alert conditions.
~~Plotted here on ES1! (CME), on the 15m timeframe~~
-A FVG represents a 'naked' body where the wicks/tails on either side do not meet. This can be seen as a type of 'gap', which price will have a tendency to want to re-fill (in part or in full).
-The midline (CE, or 'Consequent encroachment') of FVGs also tend to show price sensitivity.
-This indicator paints all FVGs until priced into, and should give an idea of which are more meaningful and which are best ignored (based on context: location, Time of day, market structure, etc).
-This is a simpler and more efficient method of painting Fair value gaps which auto-stop painting when price reaches them.
//Aims of Publishing:
-Education of ICT concepts of Fair Value Gaps and their midlines (CEs): To easily see via forward testing or backtesting, the sensitivity that price shows to these areas & levels.
-Demonstration of a much more efficient way of plotting FVGs which terminate at price, thanks to a modification of @Bjorgums's clever looping method referenced below.
//Settings:
-Toggle on/off upward and downward FVGs independently(blue and orange by default).
-Toggle on/off midline (CE).
-Standard color/line formatting options.
-Choose Threshold: CE of FVG or Full Fill of FVG: This will determine both the 'stop-painting' trigger and the 'Alert' trigger.
-Choose number of days lookback to control how many historical FVGs paint on chart.
//On alerts:
-Simple choice of 2 alerts:
~~One for price crossing into/above the nearest untouched 'premium' FVG above ( orange ). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
~~Another for price crossing into/below the nearest untouched 'discount' FVG below (blue). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
-Alerts set via the three dots in indicator status line.
//Cautionary notes:
-Do not use the alerts blindly to find trades. Wait until you have identified a good FVG above/below which you think price may show sensitivity to
-Usage on very low timeframes can cause unexpected results with alerts: due to new FVGs forming in realtime the Alert will always trigger at the most recent FVG above/ below having its threshold hit.
-Big thank you to @Bjorgum for his fantastic extendAndRemove method. Modified here for use with boxes and to integrate Alerts.
-Also Credit to ICT (inner circle trader) for the concepts used here: Fair value gaps and their Consequent Encroachment (CE).
Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute
