Updated ICT Structure Levels (ST/IT/LT) - v7 (by Jonas E)
ICT Structure Levels (ST/IT/LT) – Neighbor-Wick Pivots
This indicator is designed for traders following ICT-style market structure analysis. It identifies Short-Term (ST), Intermediary (IT), and Long-Term (LT) swing highs and lows, but with a stricter filter that reduces false signals.
Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script requires not only that a bar makes a structural high/low, but also that the neighboring bars’ extremes are formed by wicks rather than flat-bodied candles. This wick condition helps confirm that the level is a true liquidity sweep and not just random price action.
How it works (conceptual):
Detects pivots based on user-defined left/right bars.
Validates that extremes on both sides of the pivot are wick-driven (high > body for highs, low < body for lows).
Marks valid STH/STL, ITH/ITL, and LTH/LTL directly on the chart with optional price labels.
Uses ATR offset for better label readability.
Alerts can be enabled to notify when a new structural level is confirmed.
How to use it:
Map market structure across multiple layers (ST/IT/LT).
Identify true liquidity grabs and avoid false highs/lows.
Integrate with Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) strategies.
Combine with other ICT concepts (Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Pools).
What makes it unique:
Most pivot indicators mark every high/low indiscriminately. This script filters pivots using wick validation, which significantly reduces noise and focuses only on the levels most relevant to liquidity-based trading strategies.
