Jul 12

█ Overview
The ICT Market Structure Screener (Zeiierman) is designed to identify and display key market structure levels and patterns based on Smart Money Concepts. It highlights bullish and bearish structures, premium and discount levels, and generates alerts for significant market structure changes, making it a valuable tool for traders looking to understand institutional trading behaviors and market trends. A key feature of this indicator is its screener function, which allows traders to monitor multiple symbols simultaneously. This feature provides a consolidated view of the market structure for various assets, making it easier to identify trading opportunities across a diverse portfolio.




█ How It Works
The ICT Market Structure Screener operates by identifying high and low pivot points within a specified period, then analyzing these pivots to determine changes in market structure. The indicator tracks price movements and categorizes them into bullish or bearish structures, indicating potential trend reversals or continuations. By plotting premium and discount levels, it helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator also provides real-time updates and alerts for significant changes in the market structure.

█ Terminology
ChoCH (Change of Character): Indicates a potential reversal in market direction. It is identified when the price breaks a significant high or low, suggesting a shift from a bullish to bearish trend or vice versa.




SMS (Smart Money Shift): Represents the transition phase in market structure where smart money begins accumulating or distributing assets. It typically follows a BMS and indicates the start of a new trend.




BMS (Bullish/Bearish Market Structure): Confirms the trend direction. Bullish Market Structure (BMS) confirms an uptrend, while Bearish Market Structure (BMS) confirms a downtrend. It is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows (bullish) or lower highs and lower lows (bearish).

• Premium: A zone where the price is considered overbought. It is calculated as the upper range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for selling or shorting.
  
• Mid Range: The midpoint between the high and low of the market structure. It often acts as a support or resistance level, helping traders identify potential reversal or continuation points.
  
• Discount: A zone where the price is considered oversold. It is calculated as the lower range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for buying or going long.
  

█ How to Use
The ICT Market Structure Screener allows traders to follow smart money moves in the market more effectively. By identifying key market levels and monitoring bullish and bearish structures, traders can easily spot trend changes and strong trends. The indicator's premium and discount levels help identify overbought and oversold conditions, providing valuable entry and exit points. Alerts for ChoCH, SMS, and BMS keep traders informed about significant market changes, enabling real-time adjustments to trading strategies.

The screener functionality is particularly valuable for monitoring multiple markets simultaneously. The screener table displays critical information such as current price, trend direction, signal type, and premium/discount levels for each symbol. This makes it easier to track the market structure of various assets at a glance and quickly identify trading opportunities across different markets.

Example Strategies:
⚪ Trend Following: Use the indicator to identify the current market trend (bullish or bearish) and trade in the direction of the trend. Enter trades on pullbacks to premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) levels.




⚪ Reversal Trading: Look for ChoCH signals to identify potential trend reversals. Enter trades when the price breaks a significant high or low and confirms a change in market structure, or wait for a retest of the nearest Orderblock that was formed.




⚪ Support and Resistance: Utilize the mid-range, premium, and discount levels as support and resistance zones. Enter trades when the price approaches these levels and shows signs of reversal or continuation.




⚪ Multi-Symbol Analysis: Use the screener table to monitor multiple symbols and quickly assess their market structure. This helps in diversifying trading opportunities and managing a portfolio of assets efficiently.




█ Settings

• Period: The pivot period for calculating the structure. Increasing the period captures broader trends, making the structure more representative of long-term movements. Decreasing the period focuses on shorter-term trends, increasing sensitivity.
  
• Response: Enabling this option uses the response period instead of the pivot period, providing more flexibility in capturing short-term or long-term structures. The period for the response, which determines the structure's sensitivity. Increasing the response period smoothens the structure, making it less reactive to short-term fluctuations. Decreasing the response period makes the structure more responsive to short-term changes.
  
• Structure Display: Choose between displaying the active range or the previous range. 'Active Range' shows real-time premium, discount, and mid-range levels based on the current structure. 'Previous Range' displays past ranges, useful for analyzing historical support/resistance levels.
  
• Ticker Symbols: List of symbols to include in the screener. Enabling the option includes the symbol in the screener, allowing the user to track its structure. Disabling it excludes the symbol from the screener, reducing the number of tracked symbols.
