Opening Range Gaps [TFO]This indicator displays Opening Range Gaps with an adjustable time window. Its intention is to capture the discrepancy between the close price of previous and new Real Trading Hours (RTH) sessions, i.e. yesterday's close compared to today's open. A gap will be drawn from this area with a solid line denoting its midpoint, and dashed lines denoting the upper and lower quartiles of its range. Its color is determined by whether the new session open price is above or below the previous session close.
The Gap Session parameter allows users to define the specific time window for which to capture the "gap" in price. Using U.S. index futures as an example, we can use 16:00 - 09:30 (EST) to capture the discrepancy between the previous day's close price and the current day's open price. However, this parameter is left as adjustable for users that may want to observe different markets or simply experiment with different time windows.
Show Session Delineations will draw vertical timestamps denoting the start and end times of the provided Gap Session. Track Start Price serves as a visual aid to track the initial price of the Gap Session until its end price is validated, for easy visual verification of a gap's upper and lower bounds. With both options turned off, the indicator will only display the gap boxes and lines, as shown here:
Extend Boxes will draw all gaps with an indefinite extension to the right. This can get messy with a large number of boxes, which is why we have a Keep Last parameter to limit how many sessions' drawings should be stored. Any drawings that were made beyond this number of sessions in the past will automatically be deleted.
The Timeframe Limit will dictate that the indicator as a whole will only draw objects on timeframes less than or equal to this timeframe, determined by the user. In some cases this may help users avoid resolution errors which may arise from using timeframes that are too large for a given session. For example, if a user wanted to track a Gap Session of 16:15-09:30, the Timeframe Limit should be set to 15 minutes because the close price at 16:15 cannot be observed on a 30 minute chart (or greater).
Ict
itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing
Classic sell setup:
Classic buy setup:
The indicator has a ton of customizable features, the power of the tool is really in there, as you can find or refine your own model with it. Once you're familiar with your setup you will be really feeling the power of the tool, I promise.
Indicator Features:
• M5/M15/H1/H4/D Time frames
• OHLC bar with an offset (you can have a look at the current HTF bar developing or you can use it as a locked previous bar)
• Current time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines to the current time
• Showing the previous time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines and the ability to add labels. The color of the OHLC or OLHC box is based on the candle closing. If it's a bear candle, if it's a bull candle.
• Previous high time frame open / close lines with labels, customisable colours, label sizes
• It has a lot of customisable features, the power of the tool is really in there as you can find or refine your own model with it.
• Every box and bar automatically switches its colors based on the close of the candle whether it's a bear or a bull candle.
• The color of the labels is switching automatically based on the coloring of your chart.
• You can customize each and every box color - OHLC/OLHC based on your taste, and the open and closing lines of the previous HTF.
Additional Information:
You can combine it with my own model. If you are not familiar with it, you can find here .
Or you can combine it with other frameworks for extra confluences like combining it with Daye’s QT in some simple equation:
Open → Q1 , High → Q2, Low → Q3, Close → Q4
Open → Q1, Low → Q2, High → Q3, Close → Q4
ICT NWOG/NDOG [Source Code] (fadi)New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) are areas on the chart where price tend to react to and has the potential of moving from one gap to the next. These gaps can act as support and resistance zones where price can bounce of, or go through and retest. Areas of interest are the high, low, the Consequent Encroachment (C.E.), which is the middle between high and low of each gap.
Event Horizon is the 50% distance between two NWOGs and price tend to react to, and could act as Premium/ Discount between two NWOGs.
New Week Opening Gap (NWOG)
The difference between Friday close, and Sunday open. Consequent Encroachment (C.E.) is the area between two NWOGs.
Settings NWOG
- The Colors in the form of Current/Previous and line style for NWOG
- Background color to use for Current/Previous
- Number of NWOGs to use by the indicator (ICT recommends using minimum of 5)
- Extend Configuration:
-- Always Extend all NWOGs
-- Above and below only Shows the immediate two NWOGs that are above and below current price. These two NWOGs are recalculated as price moves
-- Any that is near current price Any NWOG that is near the current price, this can result in multiple NWOGs being displayed, with some overlapping
- Event Horizon only applicable when using the "Above and below only settings"
-- Show Date label and type of gap
New Day Opening Gap (NDOG)
The difference between Yesterday's close and Today's open.
Settings NDOG
- The Colors in the form of Current/Previous and line style for NDOG
- Background color to use for Current/Previous
- Number of NDOGs to use by the indicator, default is 1 but price tend to react to previous ones as well
- Extend Configuration:
-- Always Extend all NDOGs
-- Above and below only Shows the immediate two NDOGs that are above and below current price. These two NDOGs are recalculated as price moves
-- Any that is near current price Any NDOG that is near the current price, this can result in multiple NDOGs being displayed, with some overlapping
-- Show Date label and type of gap
Other Settings
Number of candles to use in calculation is used to calculate the size of the candles in order to derive the distance from current price. If current candle sizes is more important than over longer period of time then use 14 or near that number
Factor multiplier for distance test is the number above times X value. Lower timeframes require a higher number than a larger timeframe. If day trading, a value between 10 and 20 is probably best. If swing trading, a value between 5 and 10 is probably best.
Buffer How many candles beyond current price to extend the gaps by. this is helpful to provide cleaner view of the price action
Market Structure [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to provide a simple approach to Market Structure. When price is closing over swing highs, we may categorize that as bullish structure; and when price is closing below swing lows, we may categorize that as bearish structure.
We can easily find swing highs and lows via the following built-in Pine Script functions:
ta.pivothigh()
ta.pivotlow()
We can pass in our Pivot Strength parameter to determine the size/significance of these pivots. The lowest value of 1 will validate a swing high when a given high is larger than that of 1 bar to the left and right of it. A pivot strength of 3, for example, would validate a swing high only when a high is larger than that of the 3 bars to the left and right of it, making it much more selective.
In any case, we can simply track the most recent swing highs and lows and check for when price through them. Enabling the Show Pivots option will mark all the swing highs and lows that are being considered for future structure breaks.
If the trend is bearish and we begin closing over swing highs, that would mark a Market Structure Shift (MSS). If the trend is already bullish and we are closing over swing highs, that would mark a Break of Structure (BOS), and vice versa for bearish conditions. MSS essentially signifies reversals in Market Structure while BOS signifies continuations.
Users may also create alerts for Any/Bull/Bear BOS or MSS. Simply create a new alert, select this indicator, and select the desired BOS or MSS criteria.
ICT HTF FVGs (fadi)ICT HTF FVGs displays the higher timeframe FVGs on current chart. This allows the trader to easily visualize the higher timeframe FVGs without having to mark them manually and see when price reaches point of interest for possible reversals or reaction.
This indicator attempts to provide as much flexibility possible by being able to define the following:
Higher Timeframe Settings
Timeframe to monitor
Bullish FVG color for this timeframe
Bearish FVG color for this timeframe
Maximum number of FVGs to display for this timeframe
Distance from current bar. This prevents overcrowding of FVGs
Hide Lower Timeframes from current chart. If this option is turned off, 5m timeframe FVGs will be displayed on an hourly chart as an example.
Show Border for the FVGs. Border color is derived from the FVG color
Show Mitigated FVG on the chart. The labels are removed to prevent the labels from overlapping with the candles on the chart/
Show C.E. Draws a line at the middle point of the FVG. This is usually an area of interest.
Show Label Shows the label with label color, background color, and label size.
Session CandlesThis indicator is designed to visually represent different trading sessions on a price chart, highlighting candlestick colors to distinguish between bullish (upward movement) and bearish (downward movement) trends during various market sessions. Here's an overview of how the indicator works:
1. Session Definition: The indicator defines four distinct trading sessions:
- London Session: Typically covering the European trading hours.
- New York AM Session: Representing the morning hours of the New York trading session.
- New York PM Session: Representing the afternoon hours of the New York trading session.
- Asia Session: Encompassing the trading hours of the Asian markets.
2. Configuration Options: Users can customize the behavior of the indicator through input options. For each session, users can enable or disable the display of session-specific candles.
3. Candle Coloring: The indicator determines the color of candles based on the following criteria:
- For each session, it checks whether the current candle's closing price is higher than its opening price.
- If the closing price is higher, the candle is considered bullish, and a user-defined green color is used for the candle.
- If the closing price is lower, the candle is considered bearish, and a user-defined red color is applied.
4. Display: The indicator then applies the calculated candle colors to the respective candles of each trading session on the price chart. This visual distinction helps traders quickly identify the prevailing trend during different market sessions.
To use the indicator, traders can overlay it on their price charts in TradingView. By enabling or disabling specific trading sessions, they can focus on the trends and price movements during those specific time periods.
Please note that the actual appearance of the indicator on the chart depends on the user's chosen settings for session enablement and color preferences.
Premium Dashboard [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to serve as a scanner/dashboard for several symbols across multiple timeframes. At the time of release, the scanner looks for the following criteria on all selected timeframes:
- Whether price is in a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
- Whether price is in an Order Block (OB)
- Current Market Structure
- Nearest Liquidity Pivots
- Proximity to said Liquidity Pivots
For FVGs, the user selects a Displacement Strength to validate FVGs from the selected timeframes; larger values require greater displacement. The table will indicate whether price is presently trading in a valid bullish FVG, bearish FVG, or none.
With OBs, the user selects a similar Displacement Strength to validate OBs from the selected timeframes. Again, larger values require greater displacement to validate an OB. The table will indicate whether price is presently trading in a bullish OB, bearish OB, or none.
For Market Structure, the table will indicate whether the current structure is bullish or bearish on each respective timeframe. A pivot strength parameter is used to determine which swing highs and swing lows warrant valid Market Structure Shifts (reversals) or Breaks of Structure (continuations).
The Liquidity section of the dashboard displays the nearest Buyside and Sellside Liquidity (major highs and lows) from each respective timeframe. A similar pivot strength parameter is used to determine how "strong" the highs and lows must be in order to be considered valid.
The Premium / Discount section offers an alternative view of the nearest Liquidity Pivots, where it will instead display a percent value to describe how close price is to Buyside or Sellside Liquidity. Values approaching 100% imply price is trading close to the nearest Buyside Liquidity, while values approaching 0% imply price is trading close to Sellside Liquidity.
Users can also choose to show any of the above features on their current chart: FVGs, OBs, cumulative Market Structure, and Liquidity, all from the various selected timeframes.
Daye Quarterly Theory by toodegrees> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The Daye Quarterly Theory° tool encompasses the cyclical Time aspect of the markets as studied and developed by Daye (traderdaye on Twitter).
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Daye's tweets and material.
I collaborated directly with Daye to bring a comprehensive Time tool to Tradingview.
S/O to @a1tmaniac and @joshuuu for their previous works on this Theory.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Daye's Quarterly Cycles, and save Time while on the charts.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it reliably plots forwards in Time, allowing you to strategize and tape read efficiently; as well as calculating all the Cycles, from Micro Sessions, to the Year.
> Quarterly Theory by Daye
The underlying idea is that Time is to be divided in Quarters for correct interpretation of Market Cycles. The specific starting point of a Cycle will depend on the Timeframe at hand.
Daye being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, and are to be used hand in hand (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
These Quarters represent:
A - Accumulation (required for a cycle to occur)
M - Manipulation
D - Distribution
X - Reversal/Continuation
The latter are going to always be in this specific sequence; however the cycle can be transposed to have its beginning in X, trivially followed by A, M, and finally D.
This feature is not automatic and at the subjective discretion of the Analyst.
Note: this theory has been developed on Futures, hence its validity and reliability may change depending on the market Time.
This tool does provide a dynamic and auto-adapting aspect to different market types and Times, however they must be seen as experimental.
> Quarterly Cycles
The Quarterly Cycles currently supported are: Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 90 Minute, Micro Sessions.
– Yearly Cycle:
Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each
Q1 - January, February, March
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open)
Q3 - July, August, September
Q4 - October, November, December
Note: this Cycle is the most difficult to optimize as Timeframes become more granular due to the sheer length of its duration. With Time and advancements it will become more accurate. This is the only Cycle for which accuracy is not 100%.
– Monthly Cycle:
Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day).
Q1 - Week 1, first Monday of the month
Q2 - Week 2, second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price)
Q3 - Week 3, third Monday of the month
Q4 - Week 4, fourth Monday of the month
– Weekly Cycle:
Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action.
Q1 - Monday
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price)
Q3 - Wednesday
Q4 - Thursday
– Daily Cycle:
The Day can be broken down into 6H quarters. These Times roughly define the sessions of the Trading Day, reinforcing the Theory’s validity.
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00, Asian Session
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00, London Session (True Open, Midnight New York Time)
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00, NY Session
Q4 - 12:00 - 18:00, PM Session
Note: these Times are based on Futures Trading in New York Time, these will vary depending on the market type (experimental).
– 90 Minute Cycle:
Merely dividing one of the Daily Cycle’s Quarters we obtain 90 minute quarters. The first one in a Trading Day – 90min Cycles of the Asian Session – follows as an example, in New York Time.
Q1 - 18:00 - 19:30
Q2 - 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open)
Q3 - 21:00 - 22:30
Q4 - 22:30 - 00:00
– Micro Cycle:
Lastly, dividing a 90 Minute Cycle yields 22.5 Minute Quarters, known as Micro Sessions. An example breaking down the 90 Minute Cycle from 18:00 to 19:30 follows.
Q1 - 18:00 - 18:22:30
Q2 - 18:22:30 - 18:45 (True Open)
Q3 - 18:45 - 19:07:30
Q4 - 19:07:30 - 19:30
Note: trivially, these may not be exact unless the Timeframe is in the seconds, to correctly account for the half minute in each quarter – this said the tool is able to plot these anyways, although slight inaccuracy needs to be taken account depending on the Timeframe.
It is important to remember and be aware that the current chart’s Timeframe will heavily impact the plotted Time Cycles. This tool is in its initial form and it will be improved and adapted as traders start using it on a daily basis.
> Tool Settings
Plot Settings:
"Plot Type" will allow you to decide how the Cycles will be displayed. Out of the box the tool will be plotted on a separate pane, at the bottom of the chart; you can decide the orientation of the cycles from longest cycle at the bottom (Bottom Pane), or top (Top Pane). Alternatively you can move the tool to the chart and have the cycles plot on price (Move To -> Existing Pane Above), specifically above price (Top), or below (Bottom). The cycles will auto adjust their position based on the visible price action.
"Historical Cycles" will show previous Historical Cycles, up to where available in terms of script memory.
"Plot Size" will allow you to vary the height of the Cycle’s boxes
"Show Labels" will give you an auto-adapting legend which will help you determine which Cycle is which if you get lost.
The remaining Settings are self explanatory, allowing you to change colors, and choose which Cycles to see.
The source of the code is hidden due to the use of private libraries of mine. Happy to answer any questions in terms of code, where I will not be able to divulge any detail that concerns said libraries. Thank you for understanding!
Major thanks to Daye for his Time and Knowledge, it was a pleasure to collaborate and work together on this tool.
GLGT!
ICT Time Indicator - MinimalisticThis indicator is intended to make backtesting and journaling a lot easier.
This script will automatically plot the sessions you selec.t
You don't have to worry about your timezone because this indicator will automatically handle that.
For best results please don't go any higher than the Hourly.
I aimed to keep this indicator very minimalistic to reduce the 'lipstick' on your chart.
Enabling any of the follow settings will quickly show you on your chart the times you want to be looking at:
Morning Session
Lunch
Afternoon Session
Marco 0950-1010
Marco 1050-1110
Marco 1450-1510
Silver Bullet London Open
Silver Bullet AM
Silver Bullet PM
You can also customize the color of any time session to suite your color scheme.
If you have any requests please leave a comment (I'm sure there are more marcos) :)
ICT True Day Range [MK]The indicator displays the following:
Vertical line day separator from 00:00 to 00:00 EST
High/Low lines for the days true range from 00:00 to EOD
Opening line from 00:00 EST to EOD
Opening line from 08:30 EST to EOD
Weekly Opening line from Sunday open at 18:00 EST to last bar in the week
Monday range high/low/mid line, which can be extended to EOW
Text displaying Days of the Week
All functions can be fully customized regarding color/style and line width.
Below shows image of indicator with day separator: (it didn't show on the main chart despite being enabled?)
All of the above are to be used to give the user all the tools necessary to analyze the following concepts which can be studied on ICTs you tube channel:
Weekly profile, eg, has the weekly manipulated below the weekly open to then rise the rest of the week?
Daily profile, eg, has the day manipulated below the daily open (00:00 EST) to then rise the rest of the day?
Daily liquidity grab, eg has the current day taken PDH/PDL at the start of the current day?
Daily targets, eg will the current day end up taking liquidity from the PDH/PDL?
Monday range, will Mondays high/low range act as the accumulation phase of the weekly AMD profile?
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday reversal, eg, does a day of the week line up with a HTF target and a high volatility news event which could see price reverse after the manipulation phase of the weekly AMD profile?
In strong trending markets, will the 0830 open line be used in the NY session as manipulation reference in the same manner as the 00:00 line is normally used?
The above examples of how the indicator 'could' be used are not the only ways to use the indicator.
The indicator is by no means a trading strategy on its own. Users should be fully aware of ICT concepts and have performed extensive back-testing before using the indicator with live accounts.
FVG w/ Fibs [QuantVue]The "FVG w/ Fibs" indicator is a trading tool designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) while overlaying two Fibonacci retracement levels.
• Bullish FVG: Occurs when the low of the current bar is higher than the high of two bars ago, and the previous close is higher than the high of two bars ago.
• Bearish FVG: Occurs when the high of the current bar is lower than the low of two bars ago, and the previous close is lower than the low of two bars ago.
The indicator filters these gaps based on user-defined criteria such as the minimum percentage size of the gap.
Once identified, these FVGs are highlighted on the chart using customizable boxes and the 50% and 61.8% (default settings) Fibonacci retracement levels are calculated and drawn based on the size of the identified FVG.
• Dynamically updates and extends the boxes as the price evolves.
• Alerts / visual changes for FVGs that get filled.
• User option for fills by Wicks or Close
• User-customizable settings for box colors, styles, and Fibonacci level appearances
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.
Cheers!

ICT Daily BiasThis indicator is based on ICT's teaching - Daily Bias. Indicator tries to predict which direction (bias) the price will move in the near future and it can tell you in which direction should you take trades on the lower timeframe (buy or sell). It works on every timeframe but best to use on 1D timeframe. It can also show historical Daily Biases. Daily Bias can be BUY, SELL or NEUTRAL. If there is NEUTRAL Daily Bias then you should not take any trade because following price direction is not clear until the Daily Bias changes to BUY or SELL.
Current Daily Bias is shown in the right bottom corner.
Daily Bias can be calculated by 2 types: Previous H/L or Previous Swing H/L.
Previous H/L:
This calculation is based on previous H/L. If actual candle reaches previous high (red line by default) or low (green line by default) with wick then price should reverse into opposite direction. If actual candle closes with body above previous high (green line by default) or below previous low (red line by default) then price should continue in current direction. There are also colorful arrows showing the following daily bias based on previous candle.
Previous Swing H/L:
This calculation is based on previous untested swing H/L. If actual candle reaches previous untested swing high (red line by default) or low (green line by default) with wick then price should reverse into opposite direction. If actual candle closes with body above previous untested swing high (green line by default) or below previous untested swing low (red line by default) then price should continue in current direction. Lookleft and lookright period (default: 3) for swing H/L can be set in indicator settings. This period tells you how many candles left and right from the swing H/L need to be higher (swing low) or lower (swing high). Previous tested swing H/L are labeled by colorful (yellow by default) diamonds. There are also colorful arrows showing the following daily bias based on previous tested swing H/L.
All settings of this indicator should be self-explanatory and some of them have tooltips for better understanding.
Quarterly Cycles [Daye's Theory]This is entirely based on quarters theory by Daye (@traderdaye in Twitter). I'm merely the creator of the indicator and full credits for the underlying concept goes to Daye.
The idea is to split year, month, week and day into quarters at specific times which lead to PO3 (Accumulation-Manipulation-Distribution) cycles within those quarters.
They present in one of these two forms:
Q1. (A)ccumulation - Consolidation
Q2. (M)anipulation - Judas Swing
Q3. (D)istribution - Low Resistance Liquidity Run
Q4. (X) - Continuation/Reversal of previous quarter
(OR)
Q1. (X) - Continuation/Reversal of previous quarter
Q2. (A)ccumulation - Consolidation
Q3. (M)anipulation - Judas Swing
Q4. (D)istribution - Low Resistance Liquidity Run
As of now, the indicator assumes everything as AMDX, but if some clever idea comes in the future, I'll try to implement XAMD as well.
Similar to True Day Opens, there are True Monthly Opens, True Weekly Opens and True Session Opens, all of which form during the second quarters of those periods, all of which are marked by the indicator. For timeframes in H1 and below, the indicator shows weekly, daily and session quarter cycle phases. For higher timeframes, it shows yearly, monthly and weekly cycle phases.

first fvg @joshuuuThis indicator was created to display and alert the user for the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) of up to three trading sessions.
Bullish FVG occurs when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle, resulting in a price gap between them.
Conversely, a Bearish FVG takes place when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle, leading to a gap between these prices.
ICT emphasizes on three crucial timeframes: 3-4 am NY, 10-11 am NY, and 2-3 pm NY, collectively referred to as the 'silver bullet' times. The very first FVG formed during these periods can significantly impact the remainder of that trading session.
Building upon these concepts, CasperSMC developed a strategy involving buying/selling the very first FVG and placing a stop order just above/below the candle responsible for creating the FVG.
The strategy aims for a consistent 2-to-1 Reward-to-Risk ratio (2RR).
This indicator serves to support the strategy by not only displaying those fvgs but also sending alerts, reducing the need for constant screen monitoring.
Inverse FVG with Rejections [TFO]This indicator is made to look for Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) and show rejections from relevant areas. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are created when there is an energetic move that leaves a gap between the preceding and following candle's wicks. When that area is violated, we may consider that area as an Inverse FVG, treating it along the lines of a "support turned resistance" type setup with proper context.
Once a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is found with sufficient user-defined displacement, it is saved until price fully closes through that area, at which point it becomes an IFVG, which is also saved until price once again closes through that area.
Users can select a specific time period from which to look for and save FVGs, such as during the New York trading session in the following example.
Lastly, users can enable rejections that look for swing lows in bullish FVGs/IFVGs and swing highs in bearish FVGs/IFVGs. The following picture shows an instance of rejections from both regular and inverse FVGs, meaning the pivots were formed in a mutually shared area between a FVG and IFVG.

Previous Days High & Low With AlertsAlerts: The updated script includes alerts for when the current price touches either the previous day's high (PDH) or low (PDL). This allows traders to receive notifications when these levels are breached.
Observing PDH/PDL: The script will display a single horizontal line representing both the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) from yesterday on the chart.
Alert Notifications: If you enabled alerts (by setting the "Enable Alerts" input to "true"), the script will trigger alerts when the current price action touches either the PDH or PDL.
daily bias @ttrades x joshuuuDaily bias is one of the most powerful tools when it comes to intraday trading.
Ttrades published a youtube video, in which he showcases his mechanical way of determing the daily bias based on ICTs and the MMXM Traders Teachings.
This indicator is based on those concepts.
The rules for this indicator are simple.
scenario 1 - first line of table
Close above previous days high gives a bullish bias.
Close below previous days low gives a bearish bias.
scenario 2 - second line of the table
Wick below previous days low and close within previous days body or above gives a bullish bias.
Wick above previous days high and close within previous days body or below gives a bearish bias.
"Bullish" bias is valid until previous daily high (pdh) is reached.
"Bearish" bias is valid until previous daily low (pdl) is reached.
If none of the above mentioned conditions is met OR the target (pdh/pdl) is reached, the bias is set to "Neutral".
On the daily timeframe, probabilities are visible on the table to reach pdh when the bias is "Bullish" or to reach pdl when the bias is "Bearish".
If the bias is bullish, the ideal buy would be below ny midnights opening price.
If the bias is bearish, the ideal sell would be above the ny midnights opening price.
SMC Structures and FVGThe SMC Structures and FVG indicator allows the user to easily identify trend continuations (Break Of Structure) or trend changes (CHange Of CHaracter) on any time frame. In addition, it display all FVG areas, whether they are bullish, bearish, or even mitigated.
Fair Value Gap :
The FVG process shows every bullish, bearish or even mitigated FVG liquidity area. When a FVG is fully mitigated it will directly be removed of the chart.
There is an history of FVG to show. By selecting specific number of FVG to show in the chart, the user can focus its analysis on lasts liquidity area.
Here's the rules for FVG color :
Green when it's a bullish FVG and has not been mitigated
Red when it's a bearish FVG and has not been mitigated
Gray when the bullish / bearish FVG has been mitigated
Removed when the FVG has been fully mitigated
Structures analysis:
The Structure process show BOS in grey lines and CHoCH in yellow lines. It shows to the user the lasts price action pattern.
The blue lines are the high value and the low value of the current structure.
ICT Daily Bias Finder [DTCC]What is This?
The ICT Daily Bias Finder uses a method called "DTCC" to identify the London and New York session's bias, bullish or bearish. This indicator should only be relied on for 5 minute, and not other timeframes.
How do I use it?
Look at the previous days two boxes (labeled DTCC Bear/DTCC Bull), if both are bullish or both are bearish it is NOT recommended to rely on DTCC for that day. If the first one is bullish and second one is bearish, the DTCC for the next day says that London session will turn ABOVE midnight opening price, while New York will turn UNDER midnight opening price (longs in London, shorts in New York). If the second one is bearish and the first is bullish, the DTCC for the next day says that London session will turn UNDER midnight opening price, while New York will turn ABOVE midnight opening price (shorts in London, longs in New York)
Emoji guide to DTCC indicator:
🟢🟢: Don't trust DTCC for that day
🔴🔴: Don't trust DTCC for that day
🟢🔴: Longs in London above Midnight Opening Price, Shorts in New York under Midnight Opening Price
🔴🟢: Shorts in London under Midnight Opening Price, Longs in New York under Midnight Opening Price
Reminder: NEVER rely solely on DTCC, DTCC can be wrong and is not right 100% of times.
ICT Institutional Order Flow (fadi)ICT Institutional Order Flow indicator is intended to provide wholistic view to better analyze order flow and where price may go to next. The concept follows ICT principles.
ICT Market Structure
ICT breaks down Pivot points into three categories:
Short Term High/Low (STH/STL) is a 3 candle pattern with a low with higher low on each side (STL), or a high with lower high on each side (STH)
Intermediate Term High/Low (ITH/ITL) uses the calculated STH/STL and marks any STH that has lower or STH on each side, and STL that has higher STL on each side
Long Term High/Low (LTH/LTL) uses the calculated ITH/ITL and marks any ITH that has lower or ITH on each side, and ITL that has higher ITL on each side
Note: ICT also states that if a STH wicks into and closes (almost?) a FVG, he marks it as ITH even if it does not have STH on reach side. This scenario is not covered by this indicator
Liquidity
liquidity is usually present under pivot points. The more prominent the pivot point, the more likely higher values liquidity pools reside under/above it. Liquidity under ITL and LTL as an example, will have better indication of which liquidity the price may seek next.
Displacement
Displacement registers above average move in the price resulting in strong visible move. If requiring a FVG is enabled (in settings), then the displacement could possibly (but never guaranteed) be used to visually recognize a move as it develops.
Full Credit: The calculation for Displacement is derived from TFO's Visualizing Displacement
Imbalances
Imbalances can come in different forms. This indicator identifies three type of imbalances:
1. FVG
2. Volume Imbalance
3. Open Gaps
Imbalances completes the picture by help visualize strong moves, where possible pivot points may develop, and how to enter or manage a trade.
