Daye's Quarterly TheoryDaye's Quarterly Theory Indicator
Description
The Daye's Quarterly Theory Indicator divides trading time into smaller units to help traders identify potential accumulation, manipulation, distribution, and reversal/continuation phases within a day. It applies these time divisions to your charts, offering visual guidance aligned with ICT's PO3 concept:
Accumulation (A): The phase where positions are accumulated.
Manipulation (M): The phase where the market moves against the prevailing trend to trap traders.
Distribution (D): The phase where accumulated positions are distributed.
Reversal/Continuation (X): The phase indicating either a reversal or continuation of the trend.
This indicator breaks down time into quarters at different levels:
Daily Quarters:
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asia)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (London)
Q3: 06:00 - 12:00 (NY AM)
Q4: 12:00 - 18:00 (NY PM)
90-Minute Quarters:
Q1: 18:00 - 19:30
Q2: 19:30 - 21:00
Q3: 21:00 - 22:30
Q4: 22:30 - 00:00
Micro Quarters (22.5 minutes) (Displayed on 7-minute TF or lower):
Q1: 18:00 - 18:22:30
Q2: 18:22:30 - 18:45
Q3: 18:45 - 19:07:30
Q4: 19:07:30 - 19:30
Features
Time Box Visualization: Highlights different quarters of the trading day to help visualize market phases.
Customizable Colors: Allows users to set different colors for daily, 90-minute, and micro quarters.
Flexible Settings: Designed to work out-of-the-box on both light and dark background charts.
ICT PO3 Alignment: Helps traders align their strategies with ICT's Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation phases.

London Intraday Protraction (Normal + Delayed) [Pro+]The London Intraday Protraction° is an automatic market profiling tool designed from ICT Time and price parameters projected for London Session studies:
Time:
Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR)
Asian Range (AR)
London Session
Price:
Central Bank Dealers Range Size (CBDR)
Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR) Standard Deviations
Asian Range Size (AR)
Protraction (fake move, trap)
This tool allows you to keep your attention dialled into the Session harnessing the concepts listed above through historical data (statistics + previous sessions), and live visuals.
This tool automatically annotates your CBDR and AR reference points, and prints range values in pips as a label above the CBDR and AR; it also projects the CBDR deviations encompassed in London's Time opportunity – up to three standard deviations.
The range values for the Time-based ranges, and price action are filtered into conditional statements as taught in the Core Content from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
There are three profile types:
1) Normal Protraction – the high/low of the Day is anticipated in early London Session.
2) Delayed Protraction – due to invalid Price Parameters (Range Sizes) the Protraction is expected in the later stages of the London Session (this protraction may, or may not be, the high/low of the Day).
3) Normal Protraction Negated – due to invalid Time Parameters, the Protraction is expected in the later stages of the London Session (this protraction may, or may not be, the high/low of the Day).
Notice the color coding of the specific scenarios, as it always repeats – it will aid pattern recognition.
The statistical table shows the total number of viewable London Sessions on chart; it provides the total number of filtered Normal Protraction Sessions, and Delayed Protractions Sessions. It also indicates a percentage of how many filtered conditions held true and provided clean price action or narrative.
The true power of this tool lies in its specific window of Time opportunity, and solid conditional logic provided by ICT's teachings; having the London Session analysis automated, allows you to focus on price, and bias, rather than drawing predetermined ICT parameters.

Swing elite Trend DirectionSwing Elite Trend Direction
This indicator provides a structured approach to market analysis by combining swing point detection with trend confirmation logic derived from Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
How It Works
The core algorithm identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback depth, then classifies each pivot based on its relationship to prior swings. A swing high that exceeds the previous swing high is labeled HH (Higher High), while one that fails to do so becomes LH (Lower High). The same logic applies to lows, producing HL (Higher Low) and LL (Lower Low) classifications.
Trend confirmation follows ICT/SMC principles: a bullish trend is confirmed only when a Higher Low is followed by a Higher High, establishing the classic bullish market structure sequence. Conversely, bearish confirmation requires a Lower High followed by a Lower Low. When price creates a counter-structure pivot (such as a Lower High appearing during a bullish sequence), the trend status shifts to "Unconfirmed," alerting traders to potential reversals before they fully develop.
What Makes This Indicator Useful
Rather than displaying isolated swing points, this indicator synthesizes the relationship between consecutive pivots to provide actionable trend status. The multi-timeframe dashboard extends this analysis across three user-defined timeframes, allowing traders to assess trend alignment — a key filter for higher-probability setups.
Structure trendlines automatically connect relevant pivot sequences (HH→LH for resistance, LL→HL for support), visualizing the trajectory of market structure rather than arbitrary price connections. Break levels mark the specific prices where structure would shift, giving clear invalidation points for trade management.
The Fibonacci retracement draws automatically between the two most recent pivots, providing potential entry zones within the established structure context.
Intended Use
This tool is designed for traders who use market structure analysis as their primary framework. It automates the manual process of labeling swing points and tracking structure sequences, reducing subjectivity while maintaining the discretionary trader's analytical approach. Works across all markets and timeframes.

HTF Suspension Blocks [TakingProphets]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTF SUSPENSION BLOCKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTF Suspension Blocks bring ICT’s Suspension Block concept into a multi-timeframe workflow by detecting the 3-candle pattern on higher timeframes and projecting those zones directly onto your current execution chart.
Instead of only seeing Suspension Blocks on the timeframe they form, this script identifies valid HTF formations, draws their ranges on your lower timeframe, extends them forward, and manages invalidation automatically. You get higher-timeframe context while staying in your execution environment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Detect ICT-style Suspension Blocks on multiple higher timeframes (HTF 1 / HTF 2 / HTF 3)
- Project HTF blocks onto the current chart using bar-time anchored drawing
- Require measurable body-to-body separation defined in true ticks (instrument-aware)
- Auto-extend blocks forward in time until invalidation
- Optional Consequent Encroachment (50% equilibrium) inside each block
- Per-timeframe visibility limiting so charts stay clean and actionable
- Labels each block with the originating HTF (ex: M5 / M15 / M60)
- Alerts for:
- New HTF bullish / bearish block formation
- Price entering into any HTF bullish / bearish block
- Session-restricted alert windows (New York time)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS A SUSPENSION BLOCK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Suspension Block is a strict 3-candle displacement sequence defined by body-to-body gaps around a middle candle. This HTF variant uses the same model, but evaluates the pattern on a higher timeframe and then projects the zone onto your current chart.
Bullish Suspension Block logic:
- HTF Candle 1 close is BELOW HTF Candle 2 open by at least Minimum Body Separation
- HTF Candle 3 open is ABOVE HTF Candle 2 close by at least Minimum Body Separation
- HTF Candle 3 open is ABOVE HTF Candle 1 close to ensure a valid vertical span
- Block vertical span: Candle 1 close (low) to Candle 3 open (high)
- Block remains valid until price CLOSES below the block low (Candle 1 close)
Bearish Suspension Block logic (mirror conditions):
- HTF Candle 1 close is ABOVE HTF Candle 2 open by at least Minimum Body Separation
- HTF Candle 3 open is BELOW HTF Candle 2 close by at least Minimum Body Separation
- HTF Candle 3 open is BELOW HTF Candle 1 close to ensure a valid vertical span
- Block vertical span: Candle 1 close (high) to Candle 3 open (low)
- Block remains valid until price CLOSES above the block high (Candle 1 close)
All gap calculations are normalized using `syminfo.mintick` so the “ticks” setting behaves correctly across instruments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL SETTINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Minimum Body Separation (ticks)
- Minimum required body-to-body gap in HTF tick units
- Used for both:
- Candle 1 close to Candle 2 open separation
- Candle 2 close to Candle 3 open separation
- Examples:
- 0.25 = quarter-tick gap
- 1.0 = full tick gap
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIMEFRAMES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script supports up to 3 higher timeframe sources. Each HTF has:
- Enable toggle
- Timeframe selector
- Per-timeframe Max Blocks visibility control
HTF 1 / HTF 2 / HTF 3:
- These are the timeframes the script scans for Suspension Blocks
- Blocks are drawn only when your current chart timeframe is LOWER than the selected HTF
- This prevents duplicate / redundant rendering when you’re already on the HTF or higher
Max Blocks per timeframe:
- Limits the number of most-recent blocks shown per side (bullish + bearish) for that HTF
- 0 = show all blocks for that timeframe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VISUALIZATION SETTINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bullish Blocks:
- Toggle visibility
- Fill color controls opacity / emphasis
- Optional border with selectable style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
Bearish Blocks:
- Toggle visibility
- Fill color controls opacity / emphasis
- Optional border with selectable style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
Consequent Encroachment (CE):
- Optional 50% equilibrium line drawn inside each block
- Style options (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
- Automatically extends as blocks extend
HTF Labels:
- Each block is labeled with its originating timeframe (ex: M5 / M15 / M60)
- Label styling includes:
- Text color
- Size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large)
- Labels are intentionally hidden on non-visible blocks when visibility limiting is active
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW HTF PROJECTION WORKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The script requests the last 3 candles of each selected HTF via `request.security()`
- It maps those HTF candles into the standard 3-candle Suspension Block model:
- Candle 1 = oldest
- Candle 2 = middle
- Candle 3 = most recent
- When a valid block forms:
- A box is created using `xloc.bar_time`
- The left side anchors to the HTF candle timestamp
- The right side projects forward to the current chart time
- Each HTF has its own independent storage set:
- Bull boxes, bear boxes
- High / low bounds
- CE lines
- Labels
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLOCK MANAGEMENT & INVALIDATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- All blocks extend forward automatically to the current bar time
- Bullish invalidation:
- Block is removed when price CLOSES below the block low
- Bearish invalidation:
- Block is removed when price CLOSES above the block high
- When a block invalidates:
- The box is deleted
- Its CE line is deleted
- All stored references are removed from the set
This keeps the chart focused on active HTF zones only.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VISIBILITY LIMITING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each timeframe’s “Max Blocks” setting controls how many blocks per side remain visible.
When Max Blocks > 0:
- The script calculates distance from current price to every stored block range
- It keeps the closest N blocks per side (bullish + bearish)
- Blocks not kept are made fully transparent:
- Hidden fill
- Hidden border
- Hidden CE line
- Hidden label text
This gives you the most relevant HTF structures near price without clutter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALERT SYSTEM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alerts are optional and can be restricted to specific NY sessions.
Sessions (New York time):
- Session 1 (default: 09:30–16:00)
- Session 2 (optional)
- Session 3 (optional)
Alert types:
- HTF Bullish Block Formed
- Triggers when any enabled HTF forms a new bullish suspension block
- HTF Bearish Block Formed
- Triggers when any enabled HTF forms a new bearish suspension block
- Enter Bullish Block
- Triggers when price transitions from NOT inside any bullish HTF block to inside one
- Enter Bearish Block
- Triggers when price transitions from NOT inside any bearish HTF block to inside one
Messages:
- Fully customizable alert text inputs
- Script automatically appends ticker + current chart timeframe for context
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEST USE CASES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Use HTF Suspension Blocks as “context zones” while executing on a lower timeframe
- Pair with ICT displacement, liquidity, PD arrays, and market structure for confluence
- Treat blocks as HTF inefficiency zones that can act as reaction points on retracements
- Use “enter block” alerts as a heads-up to shift into execution mode at HTF levels

Suspension Blocks [TakingProphets]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUSPENSION BLOCKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension Blocks are a new ICT concept designed to highlight price inefficiencies created by displacement and body-to-body gaps across a precise 3-candle sequence. These structures represent areas where price was temporarily “suspended” before continuation, often acting as high-probability reaction zones on future revisits.
This indicator automatically detects, visualizes, manages, and invalidates Suspension Blocks in real time, while intelligently limiting chart clutter to only the most relevant structures near current price.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Detect ICT-style Bullish and Bearish Suspension Blocks using strict 3-candle body relationships
- Require measurable body-to-body separation defined in true ticks (instrument-aware)
- Automatically draw and extend Suspension Blocks forward in time
- Invalidate blocks only when price decisively closes beyond the defining boundary
- Optionally display Consequent Encroachment (50% equilibrium) within each block
- Limit on-chart visibility to the closest N blocks per side relative to current price
- Provide session-based, directional alerting for new block formations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS A SUSPENSION BLOCK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Suspension Block is a 3-candle displacement pattern defined by body gaps on both sides of a middle candle.
Bullish Suspension Block logic:
- Candle 1 close is BELOW Candle 2 open by at least the Minimum Body Separation
- Candle 3 open is ABOVE Candle 2 close by at least the Minimum Body Separation
- Candle 3 open is ABOVE Candle 1 close to ensure a valid vertical range
- The block spans from Candle 1 close (low) to Candle 3 open (high)
- The block remains valid until price CLOSES below Candle 1 close
Bearish Suspension Block logic (mirror conditions):
- Candle 1 close is ABOVE Candle 2 open by at least the Minimum Body Separation
- Candle 3 open is BELOW Candle 2 close by at least the Minimum Body Separation
- Candle 3 open is BELOW Candle 1 close to ensure a valid vertical range
- The block spans from Candle 1 close (high) to Candle 3 open (low)
- The block remains valid until price CLOSES above Candle 1 close
All calculations are performed using true tick values via `syminfo.mintick` to ensure precision across instruments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL SETTINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Minimum Body Separation (ticks)
- Defines the minimum required body-to-body gap between candles
- Measured in true ticks (0.25 = quarter tick, 1.0 = full tick, etc.)
- Max Visible Blocks per Side
- Limits the number of bullish and bearish blocks displayed
- Only the closest blocks to current price remain visible
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VISUALIZATION SETTINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Bullish Suspension Blocks
- Toggle bullish block visibility

- Custom color and line style
- Automatically extends with the block
Blocks dynamically extend to the current bar and are hidden or shown based on proximity to price to keep the chart clean and actionable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLOCK MANAGEMENT & INVALIDATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Each block is stored persistently and extended forward bar-by-bar
- Bullish blocks are invalidated only when price CLOSES below the block low
- Bearish blocks are invalidated only when price CLOSES above the block high
- Invalidated blocks and their CE lines are automatically removed
- Visibility logic ensures only the most relevant structures are emphasized

GHOST SNIPERGHOST SNIPER™ – BB Reversal Engine + Smart Entry / Exit Structure Core
MNQ / MES / Stocks / ETFs / Crypto / FX
BB Reversals · Breakouts · PD Structure · Liquidity Sweeps · Displacement · Smart Targets · Quick SL & TP Logic
________________________________________
Summary
Ghost Sniper™ is a high-precision reversal and breakout engine designed for intraday scalping on MNQ/MES, while remaining highly effective across equities, ETFs, crypto, and FX.
It blends a custom Bollinger Reversal Framework (BB Bottom / BB Top Sniper) with an internal ICT-style structure core to filter noise and isolate only high-quality turning points.
The system reads stretch and failure conditions, detects band breakouts, and identifies Bollinger Band failures to anticipate sharp reversals. It includes a Quick TP (QTP) and Quick SL (SL-Q) module for micro-scalps, along with full ICT-style structural targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) for extended runs.
All TP levels and SL placement are derived from smart structural logic, designed to reduce premature stop-outs and improve fill reliability during volatility.
Real-time intrabar logic ensures entries trigger the moment structure confirms — no repainting.
________________________________________
BUY / SELL Signal Activation & Checklist HUD
Ghost Sniper™ uses a rule-based BUY / SELL triggering system driven by real-time structural confirmation — not delayed indicators or hindsight logic.
Entries only activate when a multi-condition internal checklist aligns, combining:
• Bollinger stretch, failure, or breakout behavior
• Liquidity sweep or rejection context
• Micro structure confirmation (BOS / displacement)
• Premium / Discount positioning
• Momentum and reversal candle confirmation
A built-in Checklist Activation HUD visually displays when conditions are forming, aligning, or fully confirmed, allowing traders to see why a signal is valid — not just that it fired.
BUY / SELL signals trigger only when checklist confirmation is reached, filtering low-probability setups and maintaining clean, high-quality entries.
All logic operates intrabar and in real time, with no repainting.
________________________________________
Market Structure & Context Awareness
Ghost Sniper™ incorporates a streamlined ICT-inspired framework, including:
• Liquidity sweep awareness (stop-runs and grabs)
• Micro BOS confirmation
• Premium / Discount context
• Impulse and displacement reads
• Reversal candle assist
• Optional PD / HTF alignment gates
To support institutional-grade context without visual clutter, Ghost Sniper™ also includes a comprehensive set of fully optional, user-selectable tools, allowing traders to tailor the chart to their workflow:
• VWAP
• Up to 5 configurable moving averages
• Bollinger Bands
• Automatic liquidity sweep level detection
• Opening Range Breakout (ORB)

• Previous Month High / Low (PMH / PML)
• Global session tracking, including:
o Asia Session
o London Session
o New York Session
All levels and context tools are individually selectable, designed to provide structure and bias awareness while keeping charts clean and focused.
________________________________________
Execution & Risk Logic
Ghost Sniper™ automatically prints clean, minimal BUY / SELL signals, intelligent stop placement, and progressive target logic:
QTP → TP1 → TP2 → TP3
A built-in Break-Even engine, structural invalidation logic, and one-trade-at-a-time control help maintain disciplined execution and consistent risk management.
Designed for traders who want a fast, decisive, and high-probability entry engine without visual noise or unnecessary complexity.

AR-Session-Orb-HTF High/LowThis indicator is built for intraday model execution around liquidity grabs, session timing, and higher-timeframe draw-on-liquidity. It maps out sessions, ICT killzones, Session opening ranges (including the US 09:30 cash open), a daily NY “TD Open” line (00:00 → NY close), and key highs/lows from higher timeframes directly onto any lower timeframe chart (down to 1 minute).
________________________________________
1. Sessions (Asia / London / New York)
• Highlights the 3 main sessions with colored boxes:
• Asia
• London
• New York
• Default session times are set in New York local time:
• Asia: 18:00–02:00
• London: 03:00–12:00
• New York: 08:00–17:00
• You can change these times in the settings.
• Each box automatically expands as the session progresses.
Why it matters: these windows show you where liquidity usually builds, where the day “hands off” from Asia → London → NY, and when expansion/displacement typically happens.
________________________________________
2. ICT Killzones
The script includes 4 configurable killzones (NY local by default):
• Asia late session: 20:00–00:00
• London killzone: 02:00–05:00
• New York AM: 07:00–10:00
• New York Midday: 10:00–12:00
For each killzone you can:
• toggle on/off
• adjust the time window
• pick colors
This makes it easy to see when price is trading inside a high-probability delivery period, so you can line it up with liquidity above/below the session or OR.
________________________________________
3. Opening Range Levels
The indicator captures the high and low of the first X minutes (default 15) of each important window and projects those levels as horizontal lines.
It does this for:
• Asia Open Range
• London Open Range
• New York Open Range (08:00)
• NY 09:30 Cash-Open Range
• (in the original idea: NY mid / second NY window)
Behavior:
• Asia OR → after the first X minutes of Asia, the high/low are projected across the rest of the trading day.
• London OR → taken from the London start, but extended only while London is active.
• NY OR (08:00) → taken from the start of the NY session and extended only during NY.
• NY 09:30 OR → this one is special. At exactly 09:30 (cash open) the script starts a second, independent OR for that day, using your chosen length (e.g. 15 minutes). When the window finishes, it freezes the 09:30 high and low and projects them horizontally all the way to the NY session end. You can style it separately (color, labels). This gives you a clean “cash-open dealing range” to watch for sweeps, fake-outs and continuations.
You can:
• choose the range length (1–60 minutes for 09:30, 1–30 for the others)
• show/hide each OR
• color each OR
• show labels such as “Asia OR High”, “Lon OR Low”, “NY 09:30 High”, etc.
• control line padding so labels don’t print on top of the candle
These ORs often become obvious liquidity pools, fail-break zones, or continuation triggers.
________________________________________
4. NY TD Open Line (Daily 00:00)
On every trading day the script also plots a “TD” structure for New York:
• at 00:00 NY time it draws a vertical dashed line to mark the day’s start
• it records that day’s open price
• it then projects a horizontal line from 00:00 → all the way to NY session close (default 17:00)
• the horizontal line is labeled e.g. “NY TD Open”
How to use it:
• see instantly where current price is vs the daily open
• combine with 09:30 OR to know if cash open is opening above/below the day’s open
• good for intraday bias (above = bullish day structure, below = bearish day structure)
• nice anchor when you go down to 1m/3m
You can toggle the TD feature on/off and change its colors.
________________________________________
5. Previous Week High / Low
• Plots last week’s high and low on any timeframe
• Drawn as dashed lines with padding (so they don’t run to infinity)
• Each level is labeled (default “PW High” / “PW Low”)
These are classic weekly liquidity magnets and very useful when London/NY is expanding into an old weekly extreme.
________________________________________
6. Monthly High / Low
The script plots both:
• Previous month high/low
• Current month high/low (live)
Defaults:
• previous month → dashed + purple
• current month → solid + blue
You can change:
• line colors
• label text & colors
• how far the line should extend (bars span)
This gives you higher-TF liquidity targets on your intraday chart without switching to M or W.
________________________________________
7. 4H High / Low (Intra-session Liquidity Map)
On timeframes up to 4H, the script also plots:
• previous 4H high/low
• current 4H high/low
Important design choice: they only live inside their own 4H window.
• the previous 4H range is shown only over the previous 4H time span
• the current 4H range is shown only over the current 4H candle
That means you don’t get messy, stretched 4H lines across the whole day — only where they actually apply. This is super useful for London/NY raids on 4H highs/lows.
________________________________________
8. Customization / Inputs
Almost everything is editable:
• session windows + colors
• killzone windows + colors
• opening-range length
• ON/OFF per OR (Asia, London, NY 08:00, NY 09:30)
• label text, size, bg color, text color
• HTF line length (weekly / monthly)
• TD 00:00 ON/OFF + colors
• line end padding so labels don’t sit on the right edge
The idea is to give you structure, not signals.
________________________________________
How to Use
1. Start from the monthly / weekly / previous week levels to see where price “wants” to go.
2. Drop into the active session box / killzone to know when to pay attention.
3. Trade around opening-range highs/lows — especially the NY 09:30 OR — and look for liquidity sweeps.
4. Check where price is relative to the NY TD Open (00:00) to confirm intraday bias.
5. Refine entries using the 4H highs/lows that fall inside that session.
Result: you get a top-down liquidity map + intraday timing tool, all on one chart.
________________________________________
Notes
• All times are interpreted in the chart/session timezone — keep your chart on NY session if you want the defaults to match the description.
• TradingView has drawing limits; on very low timeframes far back in history, old drawings may recycle.
• Because 09:30 and TD are drawn every day, it’s normal to see more labels the further right you scroll.

Release Notes
This indicator is built for intraday model execution around liquidity grabs, session timing, and higher-timeframe draw-on-liquidity. It maps out sessions, killzones, opening ranges (including the US 09:30 cash open), a daily NY “TD Open” line (00:00 → NY close), and key highs/lows from higher timeframes directly onto any lower timeframe chart (down to 1 minute).
________________________________________
1. Sessions (Asia / London / New York)
• Highlights the 3 main sessions with colored boxes:
• Asia
• London
• New York
• Default session times are set in New York local time:
• Asia: 18:00–02:00
• London: 03:00–12:00
• New York: 08:00–17:00
• You can change these times in the settings.
• Each box automatically expands as the session progresses.
Why it matters: these windows show you where liquidity usually builds, where the day “hands off” from Asia → London → NY, and when expansion/displacement typically happens.
________________________________________
2. ICT Killzones
The script includes 4 configurable killzones (NY local by default):
• Asia late session: 20:00–00:00
• London killzone: 02:00–05:00
• New York AM: 07:00–10:00
• New York Midday: 10:00–12:00
For each killzone you can:
• toggle on/off
• adjust the time window
• pick colors
This makes it easy to see when price is trading inside a high-probability delivery period, so you can line it up with liquidity above/below the session or OR.
________________________________________
3. Opening Range Levels
The indicator captures the high and low of the first X minutes (default 15) of each important window and projects those levels as horizontal lines.
It does this for:
• Asia Open Range
• London Open Range
• New York Open Range (08:00)
• NY 09:30 Cash-Open Range
• (in the original idea: NY mid / second NY window)
Behavior:
• Asia OR → after the first X minutes of Asia, the high/low are projected across the rest of the trading day.
• London OR → taken from the London start, but extended only while London is active.
• NY OR (08:00) → taken from the start of the NY session and extended only during NY.
• NY 09:30 OR → this one is special. At exactly 09:30 (cash open) the script starts a second, independent OR for that day, using your chosen length (e.g. 15 minutes). When the window finishes, it freezes the 09:30 high and low and projects them horizontally all the way to the NY session end. You can style it separately (color, labels). This gives you a clean “cash-open dealing range” to watch for sweeps, fake-outs and continuations.
You can:
• choose the range length (1–60 minutes for 09:30, 1–30 for the others)
• show/hide each OR
• color each OR
• show labels such as “Asia OR High”, “Lon OR Low”, “NY 09:30 High”, etc.
• control line padding so labels don’t print on top of the candle
These ORs often become obvious liquidity pools, fail-break zones, or continuation triggers.

LVN Smart Liquidity📊 LVN SMART LIQUIDITY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 OVERVIEW
LVN Smart Liquidity is an advanced Market Profile-based indicator that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) across multiple timeframes. Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, this tool uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculations to detect price levels where minimal trading activity occurred, revealing potential breakout zones and rapid price movement areas.
These LVN zones often behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money Concepts, representing "thin air" areas where price tends to move quickly with minimal resistance. The indicator provides dynamic zone management with an immunity period system to prevent premature zone closure.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔬 HOW IT WORKS
MARKET PROFILE TPO METHODOLOGY:
The indicator analyzes each higher timeframe period by:
1. Dividing the price range into 20 equal levels
2. Counting how many bars touched each level (TPO count)
3. Identifying levels with TPO counts below the threshold (default 30% of maximum)
4. Creating horizontal zones that extend until price touches them
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS:
• Supports up to 5 independent timeframes simultaneously
• Each timeframe generates its own LVN zones with unique colors
• Auto-timeframe mode adapts to your chart period
• Zones project from historical sessions onto current price action
SMART ZONE MANAGEMENT:
• Immunity Period: New zones are protected for N bars after creation (default 20)
• This prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within them
• Zones extend right until price touches them, then stop extending
• Historical zones remain visible for reference (optional)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
💡 WHY LVN ZONES MATTER
Low Volume Nodes represent price levels where:
✓ Price spent minimal time (rejection zones)
✓ Few market participants were active
✓ Inefficient price discovery occurred
✓ Similar to Fair Value Gaps in ICT/SMC methodology
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
• Breakout Acceleration: Price moves rapidly through LVN zones
• Profit Targets: Place targets beyond LVN zones where momentum slows
• Stop Loss Placement: Avoid placing stops inside LVN zones (price likely to continue)
• Confluence with FVG: LVN zones often align with Fair Value Gaps
• Retest Opportunities: When price revisits LVN, expect quick moves
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY FEATURES
TIMEFRAME FLEXIBILITY:
• 5 independent timeframe slots with enable/disable toggles
• Auto-mode intelligently selects higher timeframes
• Preset options: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 2H, 4H, D, W, 2W, M, 3M, 6M, 12M
VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION:
• Individual color settings for each timeframe
• Adjustable box transparency and border width
• Toggle timeframe labels and period dates on/off
• Four text size options: tiny, small, normal, large
ADVANCED CONTROLS:
• LVN Threshold: 0-50% (default 30%) - lower = fewer, stronger zones
• Immunity Period: 0-50 bars (default 20) - prevents premature closure
• Show/Hide old boxes for clean chart appearance
• Maximum 500 boxes supported per timeframe
PROFESSIONAL DISPLAY:
• Zones show timeframe label (5m, 1H, D, etc.)
• Optional period dates (dd.MM-dd.MM format)
• Boxes extend right dynamically until price touch
• Clean visual hierarchy with bordered zones
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📈 HOW TO USE
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart
2. Enable desired timeframes (TF1, TF2, etc.)
3. Adjust LVN threshold based on your trading style:
• 20-25% = Very selective (only thinnest zones)
• 30-35% = Balanced (recommended for most markets)
• 40-50% = More zones (higher sensitivity)
INTERPRETATION:
• RED/DARK ZONES = Low trading activity occurred here
• Price tends to move THROUGH these zones quickly
• Similar behavior to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money theory
• Expect acceleration when price enters LVN zones
TRADING STRATEGIES:
1. BREAKOUT TRADING:
- Wait for price to approach LVN zone
- Enter when price breaks into the zone
- Expect rapid movement through the zone
- Target next support/resistance beyond LVN
2. CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS:
- Combine with other SMC concepts (Order Blocks, FVG, Liquidity)
- LVN + FVG overlap = high-probability acceleration zone
- Use higher timeframe LVN as directional bias
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME:
- Daily LVN = major breakout zones
- 4H LVN = intraday momentum areas
- 15m LVN = scalping opportunities
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📊 ORIGINALITY & UNIQUENESS
This indicator is original because:
1. TPO-BASED CALCULATION: Uses Market Profile Time-Price-Opportunity methodology instead of traditional volume analysis, making it work on all markets including those without real volume data (Forex, some indices).
2. IMMUNITY SYSTEM: Unique protection mechanism prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within zone boundaries at creation time.
3. TRUE MULTI-TIMEFRAME: Independent calculation for each timeframe with separate zone management, not simple higher timeframe projection.
4. SMART ZONE LIFECYCLE: Zones dynamically extend until price touch, then become static historical references.
5. FVG-LIKE BEHAVIOR: Bridges traditional Market Profile analysis with modern Smart Money Concepts by identifying zones that behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps.
Unlike existing LVN indicators that rely on volume data, this tool uses time-based analysis, making it universal across all market types and compatible with brokers that don't provide accurate volume information.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📚 TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
MARKET PROFILE THEORY:
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile analyzes market behavior by examining price and time relationships. Low Volume Nodes in traditional profile represent areas where market participants showed minimal interest.
TPO (TIME PRICE OPPORTUNITY):
Instead of counting volume, TPO counts how many time periods (bars) touched each price level. This approach:
• Works on all markets regardless of volume data quality
• Reflects actual time-based market acceptance/rejection
• Reveals psychological price levels through time distribution
CONNECTION TO SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in ICT methodology represent similar inefficiencies:
• Areas where price moved too quickly
• Imbalances in buying/selling pressure
• Zones that price may revisit or accelerate through
• LVN zones often overlap with FVG locations
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎓 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
To maximize this indicator's effectiveness, study:
• Market Profile fundamentals (TPO, POC, Value Area)
• Smart Money Concepts (FVG, Order Blocks, Liquidity)
• Multi-timeframe analysis techniques
• Volume Profile comparison (understand the difference)
COMPANION INDICATOR:
Consider using "HVN Smart Liquidity" (opposite concept) to identify both high and low volume zones for complete Market Profile analysis.

ORB + Fair Value Gaps (FVG/iFVG) Suite with Daily 50% MidlineA complete smart-money–focused price-action toolkit combining the New York Open Range Breakout (ORB), ICT-style Fair Value Gaps, Inverted FVGs, and a dynamic Daily 50% Midline.
Designed for traders who want a clean, fast, and highly visual way to track liquidity, imbalances, and intraday directional bias.
📌 Key Features
1. NY Session ORB (09:30–09:45 New York Time)
Automatically plots:
ORB High
ORB Low
Labels for ORB high/low
Optional 5-minute chart restriction
Lines extend forward for easy reference
Used to identify breakout conditions, liquidity sweeps, and directional bias into the morning session.
📌 2. ICT-Style Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Full automated detection of bullish & bearish FVGs based on the classic 3-candle displacement structure:
Bullish FVG: high < low
Bearish FVG: low > high
Each FVG is drawn as a box with:
Custom colour
Custom border style (solid, dashed, dotted)
Automatic extension to the right until filled
Optional size text showing the gap in points (font size/colour adjustable)
Adjustable max lookback for performance
📌 3. Inverted FVGs (iFVGs)
Once price fully fills an FVG, it automatically becomes an iFVG, shown with:
Custom iFVG colour
Custom border style
Extension to the right
Once price trades through the zone from the opposite side, the iFVG is considered “consumed” and:
It stops extending
And optionally auto-deletes based on user settings
This makes it easy to track meaningful imbalances that turn into liquidity pockets.
📌 4. “Show Only After ORB” Filter
Optionally hide all FVGs/iFVGs formed before the ORB completes.
This is especially useful for intraday strategies focused on NY session structure only.
📌 5. Daily 50% Midline (OHLC Midpoint)
A dynamic, always-updating midpoint of the current daily candle:
Mid = (Daily High + Daily Low) / 2
Features:
Custom colour
Dashed styling
Extends left and right as a horizontal ray
Updates live as the daily candle forms
Great for bias filters, mean reversion, and daily liquidity zones.
📌 6. Performance-Optimized (Fast!)
Built with:
Fully configurable max lookback
Memory-efficient arrays
Auto-cleaning of old FVG/iFVG objects
Lightweight daily midline recalculation
This allows extremely fast rendering even on 1-minute charts.
📌 7. Alerts
Includes a clean alert condition:
Price returned to a Fair Value Gap
Works for both bullish and bearish FVG revisits.
🎯 Who This Indicator Is For
This tool is ideal for traders who use:
ICT / SMC concepts
Liquidity-based trading
ORB strategies
Imbalance-driven price action
Intraday or NY session-focused setups
Futures, crypto, forex, and equities
🎁 Summary
This indicator gives you:
A clean ORB framework
Automatic, dynamic FVG and iFVG analysis
Real-time daily candle context
Customizable visuals
Powerful session filtering
Efficient performance
All in one clean, intuitive package built for real-time decision making.
FVG Visual Super Clean (ticks)This is a robust and highly visual indicator designed for traders utilizing Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies.
Its core function is to automatically identify, visualize, and manage Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or price inefficiencies, offering deep insight into institutional order flow.
Key Features & Capabilities
Advanced FVG Detection: Accurately identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) based on the 3-bar pattern.
Wick vs. Body Logic: Configurable option to use candle wicks (high/low) or bodies (open/close) for FVG calculation.
Displacement Confirmation: Includes an optional filter to require price displacement (a strong close) for higher conviction setups.
Mitigation Tracking & Management: The script actively tracks how much the price has filled or "mitigated" the FVG.
Threshold Auto-Removal: FVGs that reach a user-defined mitigation percentage (mitigation_pct) are automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
Mitigated Visibility: An optional setting allows mitigated FVGs to remain visible, repainting them with a distinct "Mitigated" color (blue by default) to show the exact point of rebalance.
Visual Efficiency:
Automatic Extension: Active, unmitigated FVGs are automatically extended forward in time until they are filled or pruned.
Equilibrium Line: Draws a dotted line at the 50% level (Equilibrium) of each FVG, a key reference point in SMC/ICT trading.
Tick-Based Filtering: Allows filtering gaps by a minimum size in ticks, reducing noise from insignificant micro-gaps.
Trend Context: Integrates a configurable Moving Average (EMA or SMA) for contextual trend analysis. The MA line changes color dynamically (green/red) to quickly signal momentum.
Optimized Performance: Implements a lookback window (lookback_days) and a cleanup routine to manage the number of drawing objects, ensuring smooth performance even on low timeframes.
Ideal For:
Traders focused on SMC/ICT Order Blocks, Imbalances, and Price Delivery.
Backtesting price action strategies around institutional liquidity.
Identifying high-probability entries (e.g., at the 50% line) and targets (e.g., unmitigated gaps).
[Statistics] killzone SFPSFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)
This indicator automatically finds and draws the high and low of the Asia, London, and New York trading sessions. It then hunts for Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) that sweep these key session levels.
The main purpose of this script is to gather statistics on when these high-probability SFPs occur, allowing you to map out and identify the times of day when they are most frequent.
How to Use This Indicator
Set Your SFP Timeframe: In the settings, choose the timeframe you want to hunt for SFPs on (e.g., 1H, 15m). Important: You must also set your main chart to this exact same timeframe for the statistics to be collected correctly.
Define Your Sessions: Go to the "Session Definitions" tab.
Set the Global Timezone to your preferred trading timezone (e.g., "America/New_York"). This controls all session times and table times.
Adjust the start and end times for Asia, London, and NY AM sessions.
You can turn off sessions you don't want to track (like NY Lunch or NY PM).
You can also change the colors and text style for the session boxes here.
Set Confirmation Bars: In "SFP Engine Settings," the "Confirmation Bars" (default is 2) defines how many bars must close after the SFP bar without invalidating the level. An SFP is only "confirmed" and drawn after this period.
0 = Confirms immediately on the SFP candle's close.
2 = Confirms 2 bars after the SFP candle's close.
Read the Statistics: The "Custom SFP Statistics" table will appear on your chart. This table logs every confirmed SFP and tells you:
Which time of day they happen most.
How many were Bearish (swept a high) vs. Bullish (swept a low).
It's set by default to show the "Top 20" most frequent times, sorted chronologically.
Filter Your Chart (Optional): If your chart feels cluttered, go to "Visual Time Filter" and turn it ON.
Set a time window (e.g., "09:30-11:00").
The indicator will now only draw SFP signals that occurred within that specific time window. This is perfect for focusing on a single killzone.
How to Set Up Alerts
You can set up server-side alerts to be notified every time a new SFP is confirmed.
Check the "Enable SFP Alerts" box at the top of the indicator's settings.
Click the "Alert" button (alarm clock icon) on the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" dropdown, select "SFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)".
In the second dropdown, choose "Any alert() function call".
Most Important Step: In the "Message" box, delete any default text and type in this exact placeholder:
{{alert_message}}
Set the trigger to "Once Per Bar Close".
Click "Create".
How Alerts Work (Triggers & Filtering)
Trigger: Alerts are tied to the confirmed signal. An alert will only fire after your "Confirmation Bars" have passed and the SFP is locked in. This prevents you from getting alerts on fake-outs.
Alert Filtering: The alerts are linked to the "Visual Time Filter". If you turn on the Visual Time Filter (e.g., to 09:30-11:00), you will only receive alerts for SFPs that are confirmed within that time window. If an SFP happens at 14:00, the script will ignore it, it will not be drawn, and it will not send you an alert. This allows you to get alerts only for the session you are actively trading.
Note: This is a first draft of this indicator. I will continue to work on it and improve it over time, as it may still contain small bugs.

LANZ Origins🔷 LANZ Origins – Multi-Framework Liquidity, Structure & Risk Management Overlay
LANZ Origins is an advanced multi-framework visualization toolkit that unifies key institutional concepts into one efficient interface. Designed for professional traders, it merges session mapping, liquidity analysis, imbalance detection, multi-account risk control, and higher-timeframe candle tracing — all in a single overlay.
🧩 Core Components
🈵 Asian Range Liquidity
Automatically detects and projects the Asian session range (19:00–02:00 NY) with an optional mid-price line (50 %). This provides visual context for intraday liquidity and manipulation zones commonly referenced in ICT-style analysis.
📊 Imbalance Detector
Highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Opening Gaps (OG), and Volume Imbalances (VI) directly on-chart, using separate color schemes for bullish and bearish inefficiencies. Each element can be customized by width, ATR filter, and extension length.
🕯️ Higher-Timeframe Candles (ICT Style)
Displays multi-timeframe candles (HTF1–HTF6) simultaneously — e.g., 5 m, 30 m, 1 h, 4 h, 1 D, 1 W — each rendered with independent wick, border, and fill settings. Includes remaining-time counters, timeframe labels, and optional imbalance shading between bodies.
📈 Market Structure (ZigZag 30 m)
Replicates 30-minute swing structure to all active timeframes, producing dynamic pivots with live extension. Ideal for contextualizing BOS/CHoCH events across multiple scales.
💸 Multi-Account Lot Size Panel
Calculates position size for up to five accounts simultaneously, using your defined capital, risk %, and fixed SL distance (in pips). Results appear in a clean table at the bottom-right corner of the chart.

💬 Note
This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals. It’s a visual and analytical tool built to support your own decision-making process.
Liquidity On TimeIn ICT, liquidity means pools of orders resting in the market.
These are usually stop-losses or pending orders from retail traders.
Liquidity on time combines liquidity with the time-of-day element.
ICT teaches that markets deliver liquidity at specific trading sessions.
Main sessions: London Open (2–5 AM EST) and New York Open (7–10 AM EST).
These times concentrate order flow, creating high-probability moves.
Smart Money hunts liquidity at those hours, not randomly.
Example: During London Open, stops above Asian range = liquidity target.
New York session often sweeps London highs/lows before real move.
Thus, timing tells us when liquidity will likely be attacked.
"Liquidity on time" = confluence of where liquidity sits and when it’s taken.
It explains why moves often happen at precise clock times, not anytime.
Traders use it to avoid chasing price outside killzones.
ICT emphasizes “time & price” must agree for valid setups.
Price alone is incomplete; time confirms when Smart Money acts.
This prevents overtrading in quiet hours.
Example setup: Liquidity sweep at 9:30 AM NYSE open → entry trigger.
Liquidity on time also explains engineered stops runs before news.
The concept ties into Killzones, FVGs, and SMT divergence.
In short, Liquidity on Time = knowing WHEN liquidity will be raided.
Daily Separator & Killzone marker (L3J)The “Daily Separator (L3J)” is a tool built for day traders who want a clean intraday structure around key U.S. market times and a professional trading-day model. It visually segments trading days, marks critical intraday timestamps (pre-market, cash open, killzone), and aligns with routines inspired by ICT concepts.
Important note: internal code comments and notes are written in French.
What the script does
Draws clear, configurable vertical lines to separate each trading day.
Supports two trading-day models:
- CME 18:00–17:00 (anchored on the Asian session, common for indices/futures)
- Calendar 00:00–23:59 (midnight-to-midnight)
Plots four key intraday rays in UTC‑4:
- 08:30 — U.S. pre-market open
- 09:30 — U.S. cash market open
- 09:50 — killzone start (per my routine)
- 10:30 — killzone end (per my routine)
Smart display logic: each day’s marker stays visible until the time is reached, then auto-hides to keep charts clean.
Object-budget control: caps the number of historical separators to preserve performance.
Day trading strengths (ICT-friendly)
Robust CME anchoring: day switches at the Asian session start in UTC‑4, which better reflects U.S. liquidity flow than calendar midnight.
Focused killzone: highlights 09:50–10:30 for impulse setups, rebalancing, and liquidity events around the open.
Clean readability: fully customizable colors, styles, and widths; markers auto-remove after their window.
Inputs (end‑user labels in French)
- Timezone: choose the time zone (default UTC‑4) for session alignment.
- Day separator:
- Day type: “CME 18:00–17:00” or “Calendrier 00:00–23:59”
- Color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), width
- Max number of visible separators (performance control)
Session (CME): Asian session window used as the anchor (default 18:00–16:00 UTC‑4)
ndependent intraday markers:
- Pre‑Market Open 08:30
- Market Open 09:30
- Killzone Open 09:50
- Killzone Close 10:30
- Each with show/hide, color, style, and width settings
Best practices
U.S. indices ( CME_MINI:ES1! , CME_MINI:NQ1! ) and U.S. equities: favor the “CME 18:00–17:00” mode for a more liquidity‑centric read.
ICT day trading: form directional bias around 09:30, execute between 09:50–10:30 as initial volatility structures.
Multi‑timeframe use: keep it on execution charts (1–5 min) and context charts (15–60 min) for time alignment.
Technical notes

Weekly Range ProjectionsWeekly Range Projections
Inspired by toodegrees' excellent "ICT Friday's Asian Range" indicator
This indicator is a modified and enhanced version of the original Friday's Asian Range indicator created by toodegrees. While studying their brilliant work, I realized the concept could be expanded beyond just Friday's Asian session to create a more versatile tool for weekly price projections.
What's New?
I've transformed the original concept into a fully customizable range projection tool that allows traders to:
Select Any Day of the Week - Not limited to just Fridays anymore
Define Custom Time Ranges - Set your own start and end times to capture any session (Asian, London, New York, or custom ranges)
Flexible Deviation Levels - Choose between 1-9 standard deviations instead of the fixed 5
Toggle Body/Wick Ranges - Show or hide body and wick projections independently
Updated to Pine Script v6 - Taking advantage of the latest Pine Script features
How It Works
The indicator captures the price range (body and/or wick) during your specified time window on your chosen day, then projects standard deviation levels from that range. These levels often act as significant support/resistance throughout the week.
Use Cases
Weekly Opening Range - Capture Monday's opening range for week-long projections
Session-Based Analysis - Define any session on any day for targeted analysis
Multi-Timeframe Projections - Create different instances for various time ranges
ICT Concepts - Perfect for traders following ICT methodologies with customizable ranges
Credits
Huge thanks to toodegrees for creating the original Friday's Asian Range indicator and sharing it with the community. Their clean code structure and innovative approach to range projections inspired this modification. The core logic and visual presentation style remain true to their original vision, with added flexibility for broader applications.
If you find this useful, please also check out toodegrees' original indicators - they create fantastic tools for the TradingView community!

First FVG📘 Indicator Description (English)
First FVG – NY Open is a TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that appears during the New York session, following the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology.
It highlights institutional inefficiencies in price caused by imbalanced price action and helps traders spot high-probability entry zones, especially after the 9:30 AM EST (New York Open).
⚙️ How It Works
Session time: The indicator scans for FVGs starting at 9:32 AM (allowing 3 candles after the NY Open to form).
FVG Conditions:
Bullish FVG: When the high of 2 candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle and the middle candle is bullish.
Bearish FVG: When the low of 2 candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle and the middle candle is bearish.
Only the first FVG per session is drawn, as taught by ICT for setups like Judas Swing or NY Reversal models.
A colored box is drawn to represent the FVG zone.
A dotted horizontal line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG box (Consequent Encroachment), a key level watched by smart money traders.
A dashed vertical line is drawn at 9:30 NY time to mark the open.
🧠 How to Use It
Wait for the NY Open (9:30 AM EST) – the indicator becomes active at 9:32 AM.
Watch for the first FVG box of the day. This is often a high-probability reaction zone.
Use the CE line (center of the FVG) as a reference for entries, rejections, or liquidity grabs.
Combine with market structure, PD Arrays, and liquidity concepts as taught by ICT for confluence.
The FVG box and CE line will extend forward for several candles for visual clarity.
🎛️ Customizable Settings

Predictive Time & AlertsPredictive Time Engine (ICT Macros)
Summary
The Predictive Time Engine is a visual tool designed specifically for traders who utilize Time & Price based methodologies, particularly those inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts.
The primary purpose of this indicator is to visualize the critical "time windows" where market liquidity is most likely to be significantly manipulated or distributed. Instead of only appearing in real-time, this indicator is predictive: at the beginning of each day, it will automatically calculate and draw all selected macro sessions for the day ahead, serving as your daily time roadmap.
With this tool, you will no longer miss these crucial moments and can be better prepared to anticipate price action.
Key Features
Predictive Visualization: Automatically projects and draws all macro time windows for the current trading day, giving you a forward-looking view of where the action is likely to occur.
ICT Macro Time Filter: Based on the "Hourly-Macros" concept, which are specific 20-minute periods within each hour (e.g., 09:50 - 10:10) where the price delivery algorithm (IPDA) is often active. You can select and enable each macro window you wish to monitor.
Full Customization: You have complete control over how the information is displayed. Choose between:
Outline: A clean, transparent box frame.
Background: A solid, colored background for the time zone.
Vertical Lines (Dotted, Dashed, Solid): Marks the beginning of each macro session with a vertical line in your chosen style.
Real-time Alerts: Set up notifications in TradingView to get an alert precisely when the price enters one of your selected Macro Time windows.
Automatic Management: Drawings from previous days are automatically cleared to keep your chart clean and focused on the current day's schedule.
The Concept Behind the Indicator
This indicator is inspired by the concept that the market moves in fractal Time Cycles, from yearly down to 90-minute periods. Each of these time cycles often follows a pattern of AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution).
Accumulation: A phase of order gathering.
Manipulation: Price is often driven in the opposite direction of its true intent to sweep liquidity (stop losses).
Distribution: The true price move towards a liquidity target (Draw On Liquidity).
The Macro Time windows marked by this indicator are often the stage where the Manipulation phase or the beginning of the Distribution phase occurs. By knowing when these times are approaching, traders can be on high alert and look for confirming trade setups in the most potent areas and times.
How to Use
Configure Sessions: Open the indicator's Settings.
In the "1. General Settings" tab, ensure the Timezone matches your chart's local time (Default: "America/New_York").
In the "2. Active Macro Sessions" tab, check the box for each macro time window you want to monitor.
Choose Display Style: In "General Settings", select your preferred "Display Style" (Outline, Background, or various Line types). You can also change the color.
Set Up Alerts (Optional):
Click the "Alert" clock icon in the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" section, select this indicator: Predictive Time Engine.
From the dropdown below it, ensure "Sesi Makro Dimulai" (Macro Session Start) is selected.
Set your desired notification options and click "Create".
Chart Interpretation: Use the marked time zones as high-alert areas. Pay close attention to how price reacts when entering or leaving these zones to find potential entry opportunities that align with your trading strategy.

TheRookAlgoPROThe Rook Algo PRO is an automated strategy that uses ICT dealing ranges to get in sync with potential market trends. It detects the market sentiment and then place a sell or a buy trade in premium/discount or in breakouts with the desired risk management.
Why is useful?
This algorithm is designed to help traders to quickly identify the current state of the market and easily back test their strategy over longs periods of time and different markets its ideal for traders that want to profit on potential expansions and want to avoid consolidations this algo will tell you when the expansion is likely to begin and when is just consolidating and failing moves to avoid trading.
How it works and how it does it?
The Algo detects the current and previous market structure to identify current ranges and ICT dealing ranges that are created when the market takes buyside liquidity and sellside liquidity, it will tell if the market is in a consolidation, expansion, retracement or in a potential turtle soup environment, it will tell if the range is small or big compared to the previous one. Is important to use it in a trending markets because when is ranging the signals lose effectiveness.
This algo is similar to the previously released the Rook algo with the additional features that is an automated strategy that can take trades using filters with the desired risk reward and different entry types and trade management options.
Also this version plots FVGS(fair value gaps) during expansions, and detects consolidations with a box and the mid point or average. Some bars colors are available to help in the identification of the market state. It has the option to show colors of the dealing ranges first detected state.
How to use it?
Start selecting the desired type of entry you want to trade, you can choose to take Discount longs, premium sells, breakouts longs and sells, this first four options are the selected by default. You can enable riskier options like trades without confirmation in premium and discount or turtle soup of the current or previous dealing range. This last ones are ideal for traders looking to enter on a counter trend but has to be used with caution with a higher timeframe reference.
In the picture below we can see a premium sell signal configuration followed by a discount buy signal It display the stop break even level and take profit.
This next image show how the riskier entries work. Because we are not waiting for a confirmation and entering on a counter trend is normal to experience some stop losses because the stop is very tight. Should only be used with a clear Higher timeframe reference as support of the trade idea. This algo has the option to enable standard deviations from the normal stop point to prevent liquidity sweeps. The purple or blue arrows indicate when we are in a potential turtle soup environment.
The algo have a feature called auto-trade enable by default that allow for a reversal of the current trade in case it meets the criteria. And also can take all possible buys or all possible sells that are riskier entries if you just want to see the market sentiment. This is useful when the market is very volatile but is moving not just ranging.
Then we configure the desired trade filters. We have the options to trade only when dealing ranges are in sync for a more secure trend, or we can disable it to take riskier trades like turtle soup trades. We can chose the minimum risk reward to take the trade and the target extension from the current range and the exit type can be when we hit the level or in a retracement that is the default setting. These setting are the most important that determine profitability of the strategy, they has be adjusted depending on the timeframe and market we are trading.
The stop and target levels can also be configured with standard deviations from the current range that way can be adapted to the market volatility.
The Algo allow the user to chose if it want to place break even, or trail the stop. In the picture below we can see it in action. This can work when the trend is very strong if not can lead to multiple reentries or loses.
The last option we can configure is the time where the trades are going to be taken, if we trade usually in the morning then we can just add the morning time by default is set to the morning 730am to 1330pm if you want to trade other times you should change this. Or if we want to enter on the ICT macro times can also be added in a filter. Trade taken with the macro times only enable is visible in the picture below.

[TehThomas] - Market Structure Shift (MSS)
- Market Structure Shift (MSS) Script Overview
This TradingView script is designed to help traders identify Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS), which are key concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. By detecting significant shifts in price action, the script provides visual cues and alerts to help traders spot potential trend changes and continuation patterns.
How the Script Works
1. Identifying Swing Highs & Lows
The script detects swing highs and swing lows based on a pivot strength setting (default: 3).
A swing high forms when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of a set number of candles on both sides.
A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the surrounding candles.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS) Detection
A bullish MSS occurs when price closes above the most recent swing high after previously being in a bearish trend.
A bearish MSS occurs when price closes below the most recent swing low after being in a bullish trend.
This signals a potential trend reversal and is often a key area for liquidity grabs and smart money entry points.
3. Break of Structure (BOS) Detection (Optional - Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
A BOS is detected when price continues in the direction of the trend, confirming a structural break rather than a shift.
Bullish BOS: Price breaks a swing high but does not reverse (confirms trend continuation).
Bearish BOS: Price breaks a swing low but continues downward.
BOS levels help traders confirm trend strength and potential trade continuation setups.
4. Drawing Structure Lines & Labels
The script plots horizontal lines at the detected MSS and BOS levels.
Labels such as "MSS" or "BOS" appear at the breakout points.
Traders can customize the line style, color, and text size for better visibility.
5. Alert System for MSS & BOS
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when an MSS or BOS occurs.
Alerts can be set for:
Any MSS / Any BOS
Bullish MSS / Bullish BOS
Bearish MSS / Bearish BOS
Settings You Can Change
The script allows for full customization through the following input parameters:
Pivot Strength (pivot_strength)
Default: 4
Adjusts how many candles must be considered to form a valid swing high or low.
Higher values result in stronger structure points, while lower values detect short-term movements.
Color Settings
Highs Color (highs) → Default: Blue (for bullish structure)
Lows Color (lows) → Default: Red (for bearish structure)
Toggle Display Options
Show BOS (show_bos) → Enables/disables BOS detection.
Show MSS (show_mss) → Enables/disables MSS detection.
Line & Label Customization
BOS Line Style (bos_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
MSS Line Style (mss_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
BOS & MSS Line Width → Adjustable from 1 to 4 pixels
BOS & MSS Text Size → Options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
BOS & MSS Text Position → Options: Left, Center, Right
Why This Script is Useful
✔ Detects Key Market Structure Changes
MSS and BOS are critical for identifying trend reversals and trend continuations.
Helps traders avoid false breakouts by distinguishing between structural shifts and simple breakouts.
✔ Enhances Smart Money Trading Strategies
MSS often aligns with liquidity grabs before price reverses.
BOS confirms continuation trades in strong trends.
Works well with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Liquidity Zones.
✔ Customizable Alerts & Visuals
Traders can enable alerts for MSS and BOS to receive notifications when price shifts.
Adjustable styling ensures clarity across different trading setups.
✔ Works on Any Asset & Timeframe
Suitable for Forex, Crypto, Stocks, and Indices.
Can be used on lower timeframes (scalping) or higher timeframes (swing trading).
How to Use the Market Structure Shift Concept in Trading
1️⃣ Identify Market Conditions
Apply the script and check if price is forming Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), or Lower Lows (LL).
Determine if the market is trending or ranging.
2️⃣ Watch for MSS (Reversal Signals)
Bullish MSS: Price closes above a key swing high → potential bullish reversal.
Bearish MSS: Price closes below a swing low → potential bearish reversal.
3️⃣ Confirm BOS (Trend Continuation Signals)
Bullish BOS: Price continues breaking highs, confirming an uptrend.
Bearish BOS: Price continues breaking lows, confirming a downtrend.
4️⃣ Combine with Other ICT & SMC Concepts
Look for Order Blocks (OBs) and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) near MSS/BOS levels for better trade entries.
Wait for liquidity grabs before entering trades (avoid stop hunts).
Use higher timeframe MSS/BOS zones as key support & resistance areas.
Final Thoughts
This script is a must-have tool for traders using ICT & SMC trading strategies. It helps identify trend shifts, liquidity grabs, and continuation moves by marking Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS) on the chart.
