ICC + Trident ORB Ultimate

ICC + Trident ORB Ultimate – Indication / Correction / Continuation using multi-session ORB + confluence scoring
This tool is an intraday framework built around ICT-style Indication → Correction → Continuation (ICC) logic, using three coordinated Opening Range Boxes (“Trident ORB”) plus a confluence engine to grade breakouts and reversals.
It is not just a mashup of indicators. Each module has a specific role:
________________________________________
1. Core concept
The script combines:
• Three ORBs (“Trident”):
o European session ORB (bias & magnets)
o US Futures ORB (8:30 “engine” for the day)
o Cash session ORB (9:30 volatility filter)
• ICC structure:
o Indication – Directional bias from how price behaves around the Euro ORB (above = BULL, below = BEAR, inside = NEUTRAL).
o Correction – A dynamic Correction Zone built from the US Futures ORB (discount/premium area between ORB midline and range).
o Continuation – Qualified breakouts of the 8:30 ORB high/low, graded by a confluence score (A+/A/B/C).
• Confluence engine:
Optional filters (VWAP, RSI, FVG, SMT, swing structure, PDH/PDL, EMA stack, RTH) are combined into a single score and grade to highlight higher-probability continuation moves.
The goal is to give you one integrated view of:
session structure → day type → volatility → confluence → actionable breakouts/sweeps.

2. Trident ORB structure & day types
The script draws three configurable ORB boxes in your chosen timezone:
• Euro ORB (default 03:00–04:00)
o Defines early “indication” bias:
 Above Euro high = BULL
 Below Euro low = BEAR
 Inside = NEUT
o On confirmed trend days, Euro high/low can be plotted as magnet levels (targets).
• US Futures ORB (8:30 ORB) (default 08:30–09:00)
o Main intraday “engine” box.
o The script tracks:
 Breaks above/below the ORB
 Rejections around the ORB midline
 Sweeps – wicks that push past ORB high/low by a configurable % of the range, then close back inside.
• Cash ORB (default 09:30–10:00)
o Used as a volatility check: if the Cash ORB range is much wider than the 8:30 ORB, the day is flagged as “HIGH” volatility, and the confluence score is penalized.
Using the 8:30 ORB behavior, the script classifies the day type:
• TREND – multiple clean breaks and holding above/below the 8:30 ORB.
• RANGE – repeated rejections at the 8:30 midline with no clean break.
• TRAP – ORB sweeps (fake outs) that reverse back inside the range.
• TREND? / WAIT – early or uncertain structure.
Day type is shown both as a label on the chart and in the info table, and can optionally adjust the confluence score (e.g., penalty on TRAP/RANGE days, bonus on TREND days).

3. Confluence scoring (what feeds the A+/A/B/C grades)
For both long (BULL) and short (BEAR) directions, the indicator builds a score from several components:
• VWAP filter – price above/below VWAP.
• RSI filter – RSI within user-defined bullish/bearish bands.
• FVG detection – recent 3-bar Fair Value Gaps (weighted +2).
• SMT divergence – comparison vs. a second symbol (default ES1!):
o Bearish SMT = your chart makes a higher high while SMT ticker doesn’t confirm.
o Bullish SMT = your chart makes a lower low while SMT ticker doesn’t confirm.
• Swing / PDH-PDL proximity – recent swing highs/lows and prior-day high/low.
• EMA stack – 9/21/50 EMA alignment in trend direction.
• RTH session – optional extra point when inside regular trading hours.
On top of this base score, two modifiers can be applied:
• Day type modifier – e.g., +1 on TREND days, −1 on RANGE, −2 on TRAP (optional).
• Cash ORB volatility modifier – penalty when Cash ORB is abnormally wide.
The final result is:
• 0+ score per side (bull/bear)
• Letter grade:
o 5+ = A+
o 4 = A
o 3 = B
o <3 = C
Each label includes both the grade and the factors that contributed (e.g. A BULL (4pts) VWAP✓ RSI✓ FVG+2 [TREND+1]), so you can see why a signal printed.

4. Signals, sweeps & targets
Continuation signals (main entries)
• Bull continuation:
o Price crosses above the US Futures ORB high.
o Bull confluence score ≥ your Minimum Score to Show Signal.
o Not blocked by TRAP logic if ORB priority is enabled.
• Bear continuation:
o Price crosses below the US Futures ORB low.
o Bear confluence score meets the same threshold.
On these bars, the script plots BULL/BEAR labels with grade and factor list, colored by score. Optional alerts fire with the same information and day type included.
Sweep reversal signals (trap fades)
Separately from continuation, the script can highlight sweep reversals:
• Bull sweep signal:
o The 8:30 ORB low is swept (wick extends beyond low by X% of the ORB range and closes back inside).
o Euro indication is neutral or bullish.
• Bear sweep signal:
o The 8:30 ORB high is swept and price closes back inside, with a neutral or bearish indication.
These plot SWEEP↑ / SWEEP↓ labels and can trigger alerts, giving you a structured way to see trap-style reversals rather than random wicks.
Targets & correction zone
• Correction Zone:
o A shaded box extending right from the 8:30 ORB that marks the “correction” area between ORB midline and range boundary (different placement for long vs short bias).
o This is your primary pullback zone within the ICC framework.
• Expansion targets:
o Optional T1/T2/T3 lines at ±1.0, ±1.5 and ±2.0 times the 8:30 ORB range from the ORB high/low.
o These serve as simple volatility-based reference targets for partials or exhaustion zones.

5. Info table & optional overlays
A compact table in the top-right corner summarizes the environment at the latest bar:
• VWAP (above/below)
• RSI value (color-coded)
• FVG / SMT state (Bull/Bear/none)
• EMA stack (Bull/Bear/flat)
• Day type (TREND/TRAP/RANGE/etc.)
• Cash volatility (HIGH/OK)
• RTH (Yes/No)
• Last sweep (High/Low/none)
• Current bull/bear grades
Optional visual layers can be toggled on/off:
• FVG boxes
• SMT labels
• EMA lines
• VWAP line
• Prior Day High/Low lines
• Euro magnet levels
• ORB history, midlines, correction zone and targets
This allows you to keep the chart clean or fully instrumented depending on your preference.

6. How to use (practical workflow)
1. Load on an intraday timeframe (e.g., 1–5 minutes) and set the ORB times to match your broker/session if needed.
2. Watch the Trident ORBs form:
o Note the Euro “Indication” (BULL/BEAR/NEUT).
o Once the 8:30 ORB completes, monitor day type classification and Cash ORB volatility.
3. During the session:
o On trend days, focus on A+/A BULL/BEAR continuation labels that break the 8:30 ORB in the direction of Euro indication, ideally from inside the Correction Zone.
o On trap/range days, pay more attention to SWEEP↑ / SWEEP↓ signals and be conservative with continuation.
4. Use expansion targets as objective reference areas for partials and risk-to-reward planning.
5. Adapt filters & thresholds:
o Tighten Minimum Score to Show Signal for fewer, higher-quality signals.
o Turn specific filters on/off (FVG, SMT, EMA, VWAP, etc.) to match your own testing and market.
This script does not place trades or manage risk. It is a discretionary decision-support tool and should be combined with your own risk management and testing. Nothing here is financial advice.
