Quarterly Theory ICT 02 [TradingFinder] True Open Session 90 Min🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and fractal time. It divides time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and is designed based on the consistent repetition of these phases across all trading timeframes (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even shorter trading sessions).
Each cycle consists of four distinct phases: the first phase (Q1) is the Accumulation phase, characterized by price consolidation; the second phase (Q2), known as Manipulation or Judas Swing, is marked by initial false movements indicating a potential shift; the third phase (Q3) is Distribution, where price volatility peaks; and the fourth phase (Q4) is Continuation/Reversal, determining whether the previous trend continues or reverses.
🔵 How to Use
The central concept of this strategy is the "True Open," which refers to the actual starting point of each time cycle. The True Open is typically defined at the beginning of the second phase (Q2) of each cycle. Prices trading above or below the True Open serve as a benchmark for predicting the market's potential direction and guiding trading decisions.
The practical application of the Quarterly Theory strategy relies on accurately identifying True Open points across various timeframes.
True Open points are defined as follows :
Yearly Cycle :
Q1: January, February, March
Q2: April, May, June (True Open: April Monthly Open)
Q3: July, August, September
Q4: October, November, December
Monthly Cycle :
Q1: First Monday of the month
Q2: Second Monday of the month (True Open: Daily Candle Open price on the second Monday)
Q3: Third Monday of the month
Q4: Fourth Monday of the month
Weekly Cycle :
Q1: Monday
Q2: Tuesday (True Open: Daily Candle Open Price on Tuesday)
Q3: Wednesday
Q4: Thursday
Daily Cycle :
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asian session)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (True Open: Start of London Session)

Q4: 16:30 - 18:00
Micro Cycle (22.5-Minute Quarters) : Each 90-minute quarter is further divided into four 22.5-minute sub-segments (Micro Sessions).
True Opens in these sessions are defined as follows :
Asian Micro Session :
True Session Open : 19:30 - 19:52:30
London Micro Session :
T rue Session Open : 01:30 - 01:52:30
New York AM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 07:30 - 07:52:30
New York PM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 13:30 - 13:52:30
By accurately identifying these True Open points across various timeframes, traders can effectively forecast the market direction, analyze price movements in detail, and optimize their trading positions. Prices trading above or below these key levels serve as critical benchmarks for determining market direction and making informed trading decisions.
🔵 Setting
Show True Range : Enable or disable the display of the True Range on the chart, including the option to customize the color.

🔵 Conclusion
The Quarterly Theory ICT, by dividing time into four distinct quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and emphasizing the concept of the True Open, provides a structured and repeatable framework for analyzing price action across multiple time frames.
The consistent repetition of phases—Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal—allows traders to effectively identify recurring price patterns and critical market turning points. Utilizing the True Open as a benchmark, traders can more accurately determine potential directional bias, optimize trade entries and exits, and manage risk effectively.
By incorporating principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time, this strategy enhances market forecasting accuracy across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and shorter trading sessions. This systematic approach helps traders gain deeper insight into market structure and confidently execute informed trading decisions.
Pivot points and levels
MTF Round Level Reversal [RunRox]🧲 MTF Round Level Reversal is an indicator designed to highlight price levels on the chart where the market encountered significant resistance or support at round numbers, failing to break through large clusters of orders.
In many cases, price revisits these round-number levels to absorb the remaining liquidity, offering potential reversal or continuation trade opportunities.
✏️ EXAMPLE
Here’s an example demonstrating how this indicator works and how its logic is structured:
As shown in the screenshot above, price encountered resistance at round-number levels, clearly reacting off these areas.
Afterward, the market pulled back, presenting opportunities to enter trades targeting these previously established open levels.
This logic is based on the observation that price often seeks to revisit these open round-number levels due to the residual liquidity resting there.
While effective across various markets, this indicator performs particularly well with stocks or assets priced at higher values.
For a level to appear on the chart, price must first encounter a round-number value and clearly reverse from it, leaving a visible reaction on the chart. After this occurs, the indicator will mark this level as fully formed and display it as an active reversal area.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Timeframe – Choose any timeframe from which you’d like the indicator to source level data.
🔷 Period – Defines the number of candles required on both sides (left and right) to confirm and fully form a level.
🔷 Rounding Level – Adjusts price rounding precision when detecting levels (from 0.0001 up to 5000).
🔷 Color – Customize the color and transparency of displayed levels.
🔷 Line Style – Select the desired line style for level visualization.
🔷 Label Size – Set the font size for the level labels displayed on the chart.
🔷 Move Label to the Right – Move level labels to the right side of the screen for better visibility.
🔷 Label Offset – Specifies how many bars labels should be offset from the chart’s right edge.
🔷 Delete Filled Level – Automatically removes levels from the chart after they’ve been revisited or filled.
🔷 Calculation Bars – Determines the number of recent bars considered when calculating and identifying levels.
🔶 There are numerous ways to apply this indicator in your trading strategy. You can look for trades targeting these round-number levels or identify reversal setups forming at these high-liquidity zones. The key insight is understanding that these levels represent significant liquidity areas, which price frequently revisits and retests.

SuperTrend'ed Fibos - DolphinTradeBot
Overwiev
This indicator aims to assist in taking trades at relatively low price levels in the direction of the main trend and capturing profits at potential reversal points.
What is it for !
The indicator simply performs its calculations by using two multitimeframe SuperTrend indicators, Fibonacci levels, and pivot points. The reason for using MTF in both SuperTrend indicators is that the lengths of the levels are relatively limited, so it allows for a more detailed analysis on lower timeframes.
How is it work
When both the HTF SuperTrend and the main SuperTrend indicators are in the same direction,
For Uptrend:
Once the main SuperTrend line is violated it barcolor and draws the basic Fibonacci levels between the pivot high point and the SuperTrend line within the trend region . The TakeProfit level is drawn at a distance multiplied by the TakeProfit Multiplier, between the lowest and highest points of the level. When the main trend reverses or the TakeProfit level is violated, it stops drawing.
For Downtrend:
Once the main SuperTrend line is violated it barcolor and draws the basic Fibonacci levels between the pivot low point and the SuperTrend line within the trend region . The TakeProfit level is drawn at a distance multiplied by the TakeProfit Multiplier, between the lowest and highest points of the level. When the main trend reverses or the TakeProfit level is violated, it stops drawing.
How to Use:
To prevent the line thickness from being displayed on the screen, the indicator shows the direction of the HTF SuperTrend indicator by coloring the background. In the settings section, you can adjust:
TakeProfit Multiplier
Fibonacci line colors
HTF SuperTrend activation
HTF SuperTrend settings
Main SuperTrend settings
Fibonacci levels
Custom alert activation
Custom alert level
Alarm Section
By default, the indicator gives an alert when a level is formed or violated. Additionally, if you want to set an alert for a specific level, you can activate the Custom Alert option and choose your desired level.

Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
