Liquidity Sweeps and RaidsThis basic script calculates and plots runs on liquidity levels through Raids and Sweeps. When the price violates the 3 fractal level, a raid or sweep occurs. You can use it to automate markup, understand liquidity levels, and reduce human error in your analysis. Additionally, you can set up an alarm to notify you when new sweeps or raids occur. Combine it with your current strategy or try any price action theory you prefer. Essentially, the price always seeks liquidity, so when some of it is taken, it makes sense to look for a reaction and potential reversal. Stay ahead by capitalizing on liquidity insights for potential reversals. Cheers, Cancamurria.
Ict
ICT Sessions_One Setup for Life [MK]The script plots the High/Low of the following trading sessions:
London - 02:00-05:00
NY AM - 09:30-12:00
New York Lunch - 12:00-13:30
New York PM - 13:30-16:00
Due to the high level of liquidity (resting orders), highs and lows of these sessions may be used as buy/sell areas and also as profit target areas. Typically, buy orders would be initiated below a session low and sell orders would be initiated above a
session high.
The script also plots 'RTH (Regular Trading Hours) Opening Gaps'. The RTH gaps are drawn from the closing price of regular trading at 16:15 (EST) to the open price of regular trading at 09:30 (EST). Gaps can be areas that traders might anticipate to be filled at some time in the future. A gap 'midline' is available if needed and yesterday RTH close line can be shown and extended to the current bar.
This script is simply a means to draw boxes around certain areas/periods on the charts. It is in no way a trading strategy and users should spend much time to study the concept and should also perform extensive back-testing before taking any trades.
By setting the lookback value to a much higher value then the default of 6, users can utilise the script to perform their own backtesting studies.
The above chart shows the default setup of the indicator. Note that the user has to choose how far (in days) to lookback and draw the sessions/gaps.
It is also possible to show the session high//low lines and extend them to the current bar time. If this is used it is advised to keep the lookback period as low as possible to ensure charts stay clean/uncluttered.
All boxes/lines styles/colors are fully customisable.
ICT Killzones + Pivots [TFO]Designed with the help of TTrades and with inspiration from the ICT Everything indicator by coldbrewrosh, the purpose of this script is to identify ICT Killzones while also storing their highs and lows for future reference, until traded through.
There are 5 Killzones / sessions whose times and labels can all be changed to one's liking. Some prefer slight alterations to traditional ICT Killzones, or use different time windows altogether. Either way, the sessions are fully customizable. The sessions will auto fit to keep track of the highs and lows made during their respective times, and these pivots will be extended until they are invalidated.
There are also 4 optional Open Price lines and 4 vertical Timestamps, where the user can change the time and style of each one as well.
To help maintain a clean chart, we can implement a Cutoff Time where all drawings will stop extending past a certain point. The indicator will apply this logic by default, as it can get messy with multiple drawings starting and stopping throughout the day at different times.
Given the amount of interest I've received about this indicator, I intend to leave it open to suggestions for further improvements. Let me know what you think & what you want to see added!
h/l raid @joshuuuThis indicator shows, when important liquidity pools have been taken out.
Which liquidity pools are important and how should I use them?
The day can be divided into different session. asia, london and new york session, those sessions can be narrowed down even further into killzones, taught by ict.
The times for those killzones are:
Asia - 2000-0000 ny time
London - 0200-0500 ny time
ny am - 0830-1100 ny time
nypm - 13.30-1600 ny time
Highs/Lows that have been created within those killzones (sessions with highest volume) should hold some liquidity.
That's why this indicator displays arrows with different colors to highlight once those highs/lows get taken out.
Additionally, the indicator also shows raids (liquidity grabs) of the previous daily, previous weekly and previous monthly high/low.
All colors are adaptable.
How do I use that indicator for my trading.
Once those important liquidity pools are taken out, we often see a reversal in the marketplace. One can wait for a raid and then watch for a potential market structure shift into the opposite direction to anticipate a reversal.
Note:
It is possible to create alerts for those kind of raids.
Examples:
ES:
Price takes out Asia High (red triangle) and London High (blue triangle). Price then forms a market structure shift (lower low after a series of higher lows) and creates a fair value gap while doing so.
That would be a valid setup. Again, all these are concepts by TheInnerCircleTrader.
EU:
On this EurUsd Chart, we can see, how the triangles (liquidity grabs) can be an early indication for potential reversals.
Asia high and london high has been taken out. market structure shift (light bulb) and then a fairvalue gap.
ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter°The Average Daily Range (ADR) is a common metric used to measure volatility in an asset. It calculates the average difference between the highest and lowest price over a time interval – normally five days.
The Inner Circle Trader teaches the importance of this metric from an algorithmic point of view; in particular the 1/3ADR price level is deemed to be a threshold used to determine the area at which a Judas Swing – false move to trick market participants, protraction, manipulation – might exhaust. Another key difference in the ICT-use of this metric compared to the classic approach is that the average range is calculated from New York midnight Time, rather than the daily candle's open .
It is crucial to remember that the elements of Time are key when it comes to interpreting how price action will, or won't, react to this level: what Time of the day is it? what day of the week? what week of the month?
Let's consider the Time of the day. If one thinks about the Power of Three of the daily candle (Accumulation, Manipulation Distribution), it is highly unlikely that a Manipulation event will happen later in the day – whereas seeing the 1/3ADR hold in London session or New York open gives undeniable edge to an Analyst.
Apart from the 1/3ADR level seen from a Judas perspective, the opposing 1/3 level, and the full ADR projections, are excellent algorithmic levels at which we will see orderflow or reactions worth studying. These can be take profit targets, reversal opportunities, pyramid entries, ... Study them, and find what works for you!
Features:
Display a table with the previous N days' ranges and the current ADR value
Decide whether to consider daily candles, or New York (00:00 to 00:00 NY Time) for the basis of the calculation
See the ADR Range, the ADR price levels and 1/3ADR price levels by hovering over the text labels

ICT TGIF_V2 [MK]The ICT T.G.I.F (Thank God Its Friday) works on the following strategy:
1. Friday makes the High/Low of the Week.
2. The Weekly High/Low range is used to calculate 20-30% levels. (see chart above)
3. Trades are taken in the Friday PM session (NY EST) with the idea that price may retrace to the 20-30% level.
The indicator plots the following levels:
1. Week High
2. Week Low
3. Week Open
3. 20-30% level in upper part of weekly range (only shows if Friday has made the high of the week)
4. 20-30% level in lower part of weekly range (only shows if Friday has made the low of the week)
It is possible to show all historical levels listed above for the purpose of back-testing the TGIF strategy.
Also it is possible to disable all the historical and current levels, in which case only the 20-30% levels will show when Friday has made the Week High/Low (the 20-30% level only shows from 1200-1600 on Friday to keep charts as clean as possible.
Users of this script, and any script for that matter, should always do proper back-testing before taking any trades.
Many thanks should be given to ICT (The Inner Circle Trader) for bringing this strategy to the trading community.

Range H/L Buy and Sell SignalThe "Range H/L Buy and Sell Signal" indicator is designed to identify potential buy and sell signals based on a specified price range and market volatility. This indicator can be used in the TradingView platform to assist traders in making informed decisions.
The indicator allows customization of several parameters to adapt to different trading strategies. These parameters include the start and end times for the price range, the volatility threshold, and the desired breakout conditions.
To begin, the indicator calculates the range start and end timestamps based on the provided hours and minutes. This defines the time period within which the indicator will analyze price movements.
Next, the indicator determines the highest high (High) and lowest low (Low) within the specified price range. These levels represent the upper and lower boundaries of the range and act as potential breakout points.
Volatility is also taken into account to filter out false signals. The indicator calculates the true range and the average true range over a period of 14 bars. The true range measures the price range from the current high to low, while the average true range provides an indication of market volatility.
Based on the breakout conditions and the volatility threshold, buy and sell signals are generated. A buy signal occurs when the closing price crosses above the High and the true range is greater than the volatility threshold multiplied by the average true range. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the closing price crosses below the Low and the true range exceeds the volatility threshold multiplied by the average true range.
The indicator visually displays the High and Low levels as plotted lines on the chart. Additionally, it marks the buy signals with green labels labeled "BUY" below the corresponding bars and the sell signals with red labels labeled "SELL" above the bars.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators for comprehensive market analysis. Trading always carries risks, and it is crucial to exercise caution and conduct thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

itradesize /\ Overnight Session & Silver BulletOvernight Session & Silver Bullet indicator
The indicator can be divided into two separate stuff:
ONS ( Overnight Session ) based on TCM’s ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) theory and Silver Bullet based on what ICT ( InnerCircleTrader ) is teaching to us.
Overnight Session
• ONS will be always based on Chicago 4am to 8am time according to TCM’s CME teaching.
The indicator has the option to show TSO ( Today’s session only ) which is good to have the chart not messed up by it. At this time when it comes to backtesting just turn this off to have the past ONS and SB ranges showed up on your chart.
• Mid line at the ONS range is useful to have as you are able to decide wether price is in a premium or a discount under the ONS.
If Im a buyer target is above the range, if Im a seller target is below the range.
• You are also able to have SD ( Standard Deviation ) lines for price projections. In the variety of TCM’s videos you are able to have a deeper knowledge.
• You can also extend Today’s ONS lines to the very end of the chart which could make an easier looking on the levels you eyeing with.
Silver Bullet
It’s based on New York time as ICT ( Inner Circle Trader ) is always teaching to us that we should use New York time, every time when it comes to his concepts.
Silver Bullets are always be there aiming of an opposing liquidity pool. They are working even on choppy days.
Silver Bullet hours:
• 03:00 - 04:00am NY Time
• 10:00 - 11:00am NY Time
• 02:00 - 03:00pm NY Time
SB highlighted areas could be shown as a box or a range according to your taste, with or without Start/End lines.
Both of them ca be used to form trades.
You should dig yourself into Silver Bullet ( InnerCircleTrader ) and Overnight Session ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) teachings before the use of the indicator.
Simple setups
• Silver Bullet
Look 20-30 minutes before any SB where the Buy or Sell program has started.
Where the first 1m FVG ( Fair Value Gap ) appears under the range, enter the trade.
Expect only a 5 handle move as a beginner.
1m chart is a must for these kind of FVG entries. ( 30s , 15s can also be used )
• ONS
Price is trading aggressively out of the range to take liquidity.
Once price grabbed liquidity that candle on the 3-5m could considered as on order block for the further movement.
If you are trading in the range, then the opposite side can be the target, if its out of the range and trading one sided, then use standard deviations as 0.5 is a minimum target.
Displacement (Two FVGs)A simple indicator that attempts to identify displacement in price by alerting you when two simultaneous Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) occur.
When two fair value gaps occur, the indicator will print a green bar (if bullish) or a red bar (if bearish). If you right click on the indicator you can turn on alerts that will pop up every time a dual FVG occurs.
Fair Value Gaps are most commonly used amongst price action traders and are defined as instances in which there are inefficiencies, or imbalances, in the market.
The concept for this indicator is very simple. Apply it to your chart and enable alerts on the instruments and timeframe you trade. When you get an alert, it could indicate larger players getting involved.
This is NOT a trading strategy. Its intention is to save time by alerting you to large imbalances in price on the instruments you trade.
Range Deviations @joshuuuThis indicator is able to show ranges, the equlibrium (50%) and range deviations.
It has four pre-defined options and one custom version.
Asia (2000-0000) ny time
CBDR(1400-2000) ny time
Flout(1400-0000) ny time
ONS (OverNightSession)(0400-0800) chicago time
Custom (you can choose the times)
ICT (Inner Circle Traders) teaches, that those range deviations of asia,cbdr,flout can be used to find the daily high/low.
TCM (The Currency Merchant) teaches, that a move out of the range often is a false move to trap traders into the wrong direction.
Market Structure & Price Action Toolkit (Expo)█ Overview
This comprehensive Market Structure and Price Action toolkit integrates pioneering price action concepts, including fractal-based market structure, grid-price action system, retail and institutional levels/zones, liquidity concepts, and a plethora of advanced customization options to give you a trading advantage via price action automatically. Different from traditional technical indicators, which can be lagging, complex, and cluttered, this indicator focuses solely on raw price data to deliver accurate and real-time insights. All the features in this script originate exclusively from price action, concentrating on fractals-based swing highs, swing lows, and market structure. This enables users to automate their price action analysis across any market or timeframe.
The toolkit focuses on the real-time application of price data rather than historical data to ensure its usefulness for price action and smart money (ICT) traders. With this indicator, users can automate their price action analysis across various markets and timeframes, gaining a significant edge in their trading strategies.
█ Features and How They Work
█ Trading Systems
Market Structure:
Market Structure deals with the interpretation of price action that forms the market structure, focusing on understanding key shifts and changes in the market that may indicate where 'smart money' (large institutional investors and professional traders) might be moving in the market. This feature is based on real-time fractals instead of static pivot points. Fractals are based on the idea that markets are patterned, and those patterns repeat themselves on all scales – hence, the term "fractal", which means "fraction of the whole". The function uses fractal zones that refer to areas where the price is likely to experience a change in direction. These zones are identified by observing a series of fractal points.
Grid:
The grid system works similarly to the market structure but displays the data as a grid of support and resistance zones. This is a new and unique approach to understanding market structure. It might be a more convenient way for traders to understand how to act.
█ Retail Zones
Support/Resistance:
Support and Resistance zone are often seen and displayed with a delay. This feature is 100% real-time and displays SR levels as the price reacts and forms new highs and lows.
Confirmed Support/Resistance:
As the name suggests, the confirmed zone is first displayed on the chart when the price has reacted to a high/low formation over x period of time. This feature is handy to trade retest after breakouts of the zone.
We wanted to keep the retail zones simple regarding how they work and function to help all kinds of traders understand how to use them.
█ Institutional Zones
Supply/Demand:
Calculating supply and demand in its raw form is challenging due to the complexity and dynamism of financial markets. However, the function uses several concepts to gauge supply and demand levels.
Buying and Selling pressure: The buying pressure represents the highest price point (over x period and volume), while the selling pressure price represents the lowest price point (over x period and volume). The gap between the two is known as the buying/selling pressure spread. A narrow spread often signifies high liquidity and balanced supply and demand, while a wider spread might indicate imbalances.
Price Trends: Upward price movements indicate higher demand, while downward trends may suggest increased supply.
Order blocks:
Order blocks are similar to supply/demand, and the main difference is that an order block is created at specific price action and market structure patterns.

█ Why Use Price Action and Market Structure
A comprehensive trading strategy often involves using both price action and market structure. Traders can use price action to understand the immediate behavior of the price and market structure to understand the broader context within which the price is moving.
Market Structure combined with Price Action refers to the observable pattern of price movement. Traders use this structure to identify trend direction (up, down, or sideways), market phase (trend or range), and key price levels (like support and resistance).
Here are some core concepts within price action trading:
Trend Identification: This is a fundamental aspect of price action trading. By simply looking at the raw price data on a chart, traders can identify whether the instrument is in an uptrend (making higher highs and higher lows), a downtrend (making lower highs and lower lows), or ranging sideways.
Support and Resistance Levels: These are horizontal lines drawn on a chart where the price has historically had difficulty moving beyond. Support is a price level where buying pressure is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further, while resistance is a level where selling pressure is strong enough to prevent further price increases.
Candlestick Patterns: Price action traders rely heavily on candlestick patterns, which can provide a lot of information about market sentiment.
Chart Patterns: In addition to individual candlestick patterns, price action traders often look for larger chart patterns like double tops/bottoms, triangles, wedges, head and shoulders patterns, and more. These patterns can take longer to form but can also provide insight into potential price movement.
Price Zones: Rather than exact price levels, many price action traders consider zones of support and resistance, understanding that market behavior isn't always perfectly precise. A zone might cover a small range of prices at which the market has repeatedly reversed in the past.
The idea behind price action trading is that the price itself can provide clues to what the market might do next. Traders who follow this approach believe that price is the final determinant of value and contains all the information needed.
█ Any Alert Function Call
This function allows traders to combine any feature and create customized alerts. These alerts can be set for various conditions and customized according to the trader's strategy or preferences.
█ In conclusion, This toolkit is particularly useful for price action and smart money traders, as it prioritizes real-time application of price data, which in turn allows a more responsive and informed decision-making process in trading.

Range Projections [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to see how often price reached certain standard deviations from a selected time range. The inspiration for this was to study ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts regarding the Central Bank Dealer’s Range (CBDR), which is 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm New York local time according to ICT Core Content. However, the idea and data collection could certainly be applied to any range of time.
The main settings of this indicator are session time, range type, and the standard deviation filter. The session time is the window of price that will be utilized for range projections. The range type can be either body or wick (on the current timeframe). The standard deviation filter is used to eliminate sessions whose ranges (from high to low) are greater than the desired/input number of standard deviations from all available session ranges.
In this example, the time range is set to 16:00 - 20:00, or the time between the New York session close and the Asia session open. Our standard deviations are set to 1, 2, 2.5, and 4. Now, by taking this session’s price range and extrapolating these extensions from the initial range, we can use these levels to see if and how price interacts with them before the next 16:00 - 20:00 session.
Furthermore, we can enable the Data Table to analyze how often price trades to these levels for the sessions that are deemed valid (determined by the standard deviation filter). This time our standard deviations are set to 1, 2, 3, and 4.
This concept can theoretically be applied to any window of time. ICT has mentioned that, in instances where the CBDR is too large, the Asia range may be used instead. We can observe that the indicator behaves the same way when we change the session to the Asia range, 20:00 - 00:00.
Liquidity Engulfing & Displacement [MsF]Japanese below / 日本語説明は英文の後にあります。
-------------------------
*This indicator is based on upslidedown's "Liquidity Engulfing Candles ". It's a very cool indicator. thank you.
It has 2 functions: show the Liquidity Engulfing on HTF and candle color change when displacement occurs.
=== Function description ===
1. Liquidity Engulfing on HTF
This indicator gives Liquidity Engulfing signals not only for the current candle, but also for H4 and H1 on HTF.
You can use that a bullish engulfing on H1 is a BOS on m5 and on H4 is a BOS on m15. It uses the theory of stop hunt from ICT.
Also, It's possible to fire alert.
2. Displacement
Change the color display of the candlesticks when a bullish candleStick or bearish candleStick is attached. Furthermore, by enabling the "Require FVG" option, you can easily discover the FVG (Fair Value Gap). It is a very useful function for ICT trading.
When H1 candle takes liquidity from one side and moves with an explosive move to the other side of the previous candle (displacement), it creates break of market structure on M5. Entry on discount FVG or OTE with stop loss at or below the stop hunt wick.
=== Parameter description ===
- Liquidity engulfing candles(LEC) SETTING
- Show H1 LEC … Whether to show LEC for H1
- Show H4 LEC … Whether to show LEC for H4
- Show Current LEC … Whether to show LEC for current timeframe
- Apply Stop Hunt Wick Filter … Require candle wick into prior candle retracement zone
- Apply Close Filter … Require LL/HH on candle in order to print a valid engulfing signal
- DISPLACEMENT SETTING
- Require FVG … Draw only when FVG occurs
- Displacement Type … Displacement from open to close? or from high to low?
- Displacement Length … Period over which to calculate the standard deviation
- Displacement Strength … The larger the number, the stronger the displacement detected
-------------------------
2つの機能があります: 上位足のLiquidity engulfing（流動性獲得）を表示することと、大きな変位が発生したときにローソク足の色を変更することです。
=== 機能説明 ===
1. 上位足のLiquidity engulfing
このインジケーターは、現在のローソク足だけでなく、上位足の H4 および H1 に対してもLiquidity engulfingシグナルを提供します。

2. 変位（DISPLACEMENT）
大きな陽線、陰線を付けた場合に、そのローソク足をカラー表示を変更します。
さらに"Require FVG"オプションを有効にすることで、FVG（Fair Value Gap）を容易に発見することができます。ICTトレードにを行うにあたり大変有用な機能となっています。
=== パラメータの説明 ===
- Liquidity engulfing candles(LEC) SETTING
- Show H1 LEC … H1のLECを表示するかどうか
- Show H4 LEC … H4のLECを表示するかどうか
- Show Current LEC … 現在の期間の LEC を表示するかどうか

Correlation index and liquidityAn indicator with which you can easily compare any ticker with the ones offered.
You can choose any of the tags that are offered in the options
You can also create your own ticker if you select the Custom in Mode option.
If the comparison mode is enabled, the current ticker you are viewing is divided by the ticker selected in the indicator.
For example, if you have the EURUSD ticker open. And the EURUSD indicator is selected in the option in the indicator. Then you will get the EURUSD correlation index with other currency pairs that are correlated, for example GBPUSD+NZDUSD+AUDUSD. This means that you can now see the common index of those three pairs in relation to the EURUSD.
Custom index for major currency, example GBP have index of GBPUSD+GBPAUD+GBPJPY+GBPNZD+GBPCHF. This means that you can now see the common index of those pairs in relation to the GBP.
This script is unique because it requires the optimal combination of pairs needed for each pair specifically, which I came to during many years of studying the forex market so the source code of the script have to remain hidden.
If you are a beginerr, you can just apply simple trend-breakout strategy after you spot the divergence.
For advanced traders, you can use this together with ICT's and SMC concepts as a confirmation upon your entry.
Please comment if you like it!
CRYPTO DIVERGENCE FINDERThis indicator allows you to easily compare any ticker you're looking at with the ones I've found to work best over many years of studying the crypto market. For these reasons, the code of the script is hidden because that is exactly what makes it unique.
You can choose any cryptocurrency, but I recommend using only perpetuals on 'BINANCE' exchange.
If the comparison mode is enabled, the current ticker you are viewing is divided by the ticker selected in the indicator.
For example, if you are watching "SOLUSDT.P" you should open the settings of the indicator and write "SOLUSDT.P" in the ticker field. Then you will get the SOLUSDT.P correlation index with other crypto and currency pairs that are correlated (like I already said this is something that is product of many years of studying this market and this is exactly what is unique about the code so the source of the script have to stay protected).
If you are a beginer, you can just apply simple trend-breakout strategy after you spot the divergence.
For advanced traders, you can use this together with ICT's and SMC concepts as a confirmation upon your entry.
90 Minute Cycles + MTFCredit goes to LuxAlgo for the inspiration from 'Sessions' which allowed users to analyse specific price movements within a user defined period with tools such as trendline, mean and vwap.
Settings
Sessions
Enable Session: Allows to enable or disable all associated elements with a specific user set session.
Session Time: Opening and closing times of the user set session in the hh:mm format.
Range: Highlights the associated session range on the chart.
Ranges Settings
Range Area colour: Set each range to a specific colour.
Range Label: Shows the session label at the mid-point of the session interval.
Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Enjoy!
ICT Seek & Destroy Profile [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to anticipate potentially "choppy" New York trading sessions, based on what price does during the Asia and London trading sessions. Based on some user-defined success criteria, we can also track how successful these warnings are.
Many Inner Circle Trader (ICT) students have noted that choppy New York sessions are often preceded by erratic London sessions which take both the high and low of the Asian range.
When this criteria is true and warnings are enabled, a table will automatically populate with a custom warning message for the duration of the NY session, indicating to the user that it could be a choppy trading day.
We can measure and track the success rate of these warnings via the following success criteria:
- NY stays within London range
- NY exceeds London high and low
- NY closes within London range
- NY range is too small
The first three criteria should be self explanatory - the NY range either stays within the London high & low, exceeds them both, or closes within them.
The last criteria is a measure of the New York range compared to a user defined standard deviation of all historical ranges (for the number of sessions that the current chart can load). The default value of 1.5 would imply that a "successful" S&D day could be if the NY range (from high to low) was less than or equal to 1.5 standard deviations of all past ranges.
All these options can be toggled on/off as well, for those that only want to consider certain success criteria and not others. When any of the selected success criteria are true, that essentially indicates that the current session's warning was successful.
Liquidity Grab ReversalIndicator looks for liquidity grab & reversal trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistances, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area) and then price should go fast to the opposite side. This behaviour can be called reversal after liquidity grab. If we want to participate in the reversal we can put stop order at high of the candle that grabbed the support/liquidity if it is long liquidity grab or at low of the candle that grabbed the resistance/liquidity if it is short liquidity grab. These entry points are represented by solid lines. Stoplosses can be placed to the local maximum/minimum created after liquidity grab - so if entry is at high of the liquidity grab candle then stoploss can be put at low of the structure created after liquidity grab.
In settings of the indicator you can set whether only long or only short liquidity grabs are shown. Long liquidity grabs are green and short ones are red.
You can adjust core settings of the indicator:
Liquidity H/Ls Look Back/Forward Period: For PIVOT HIGH there has to be X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the left and X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the right and vice versa for PIVOT LOW,
Liquidity Grab by Close or High/Low.
TGIF StatsTGIF - "Thank God it's Friday"
After a heavily bearish week (tuesday, wednesday and thursday) price sometimes looks for some retracement on fridays. Vice versa for bullish weeks.
This script shows how often that specific scenario happens and displays that data in a table.
The user has the option to input a starting year for the statistic and is able to filter between bearish or bullish weeks.
*disclaimer : if paired with a higher timeframe pd array taught by ICT the stats should be better, that's not included in the code though*

🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last 500 bars and Historical assumes all data available to the user
# Visible Levels: Controls the amount of the liquidity levels/zones to be visualized.
🔶 USAGE
Definitions of Liquidity refer to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity mainly relates to stop losses or pending orders and liquidity level/pool, highlighting a concentration of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Smart money traders, such as banks and other large institutions, often target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
There are two types of liquidity; Buyside liquidity and Sellside liquidity .
Buyside liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned, and Sellside liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-biased traders will place their stops.
These areas often act as support or resistance levels and can provide trading opportunities.
When the liquidity levels are breached at which many stop/limit orders are placed have been traded through, the script will create a zone aiming to provide additional insight to figure out the odds of the next price action.
Reversal: It’s common that the price may reverse course and head in the opposite direction, seeking liquidity at the opposite extreme.
Continuation: When the zone is also broken it is a sign for continuation price action.
It's worth noting that ICT concepts are specific to the methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston and may not align with other trading approaches or strategies.
🔶 DETAILS
Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Liquidity level is detected/updated.
Liquidity level is breached.

ICT HTF Liquidity Levels /w Alert [MsF]Japanese below / 日本語説明は英文の後にあります。
-------------------------
*This indicator is based on sbtnc's "HTF Liquidity Levels". It's a very cool indicator. thank you.
It has 3 functions: visualization of HTF liquidity (with alert), candle color change when displacement occurs, and MSB (market structure break) line display.
=== Function description ===
1. HTF liquidity (with alert)
Lines visualize the liquidity pools on the HTF bars. Alerts can be set for each TF's line.
Once the price reaches the line, the line is repaint.
To put it plainly, the old line disappears and a new line appears. The line that disappeared remains as a purged line. (It is also possible to hide the purged line with a parameter)
The alert will be triggered at the moment the line disappears. An alert will be issued when you touch the HTF's liquid pools where the loss is accumulated, so you can notice the stop hunting with the alert.
This alert is an original feature of this indicator.
The timeframe of the HTF can't modify. You can get Monthly, weekly, daily and H1 and H4.
Each timeframe displays the 3 most recent lines. By narrowing it down to 3, it is devised to make it easier to see visually. (This indicator original)
2. Displacement
Change the color display of the candlesticks when a bullish candle stick or bearish candle stick is attached. Furthermore, by enabling the "Require FVG" option, you can easily discover the FVG (Fair Value Gap). It is a very useful function for ICT trading.
3. MSB (market structure break)
Displays High/Low lines for the period specified by the parameter. It is useful for discovering BoS & CHoCH/MSS, which are important in ICT trading.

このインジケータはsbtncさんの"HTF Liquidity Levels"をベースに作成しています。
上位足流動性の可視化（アラート付き）、変位発生時のローソク色変更、MSB(market structure break)ライン表示の３つの機能を有します。
＜機能説明＞
■上位足流動性の可視化
上位足の流動性の吹き溜まり（ストップが溜まっているところ）をラインで可視化します。ラインにはアラートを設定することが可能です。
一度価格がラインに到達するとそのラインは再描画されます。
平たく言うと、今までのラインが消えて新しいラインが出現する。という事です。
消えたラインはpurgeラインとして残ります。（パラメータでpurgeラインを非表示にすることも可能です）
アラートはラインが消える瞬間に発報します。上位足の損切り溜まってるところにタッチするとアラートを発報するので、アラートにてストップ狩りに気づくことができます。
このアラート発報については本インジケータオリジナルの機能となります。
表示可能な上位足のタイムフレームは固定です。月足、週足、日足およびH1とH4を表示することができます。
各タイムフレーム、直近から3つのラインを表示します。3つに絞ることで視覚的に見やすく工夫しています。（本インジケータオリジナル）
■変位発生時のローソク色変更
大きな陽線、陰線を付けた場合に、そのローソク足をカラー表示を変更します。
さらに"Require FVG"オプションを有効にすることで、FVG（Fair Value Gap）を容易に発見することができます。ICTトレードにを行うにあたり大変有用な機能となっています。
■MSB(market structure break)ライン表示
パラメータで指定した期間のHigh/Lowをライン表示します。ICTトレードで重要視しているBoS & CHoCH/MSSの発見に役立ちます。

High/Low Statistics @joshuuuThis indicator has been made to get a statistical edge. It has two different options. Weekly High/Low or Daily High/Low
Weekly High/Low - use this on Daily Chart
This option plots a table, that shows how often the High/Low of the Week has been made on certain Days of the Week. It is possible, to only filter bullish/bearish weeks, to have more precise values.
Daily High/Low - use this on Hourly Chart
This options plots a table, that shows how often High/Low of the Day has been made on certain Hours of the Day. It is possible, to only filter bullish/bearish days, to have more precise values.
How do I use it?
Let's say you have created a daily bias. You are expecting spx500 to have a bullish day. Now you can filter bullish days in your indicator settings and then you get data, on which time of the day you have the highest chance to see the high/low of the day being created, same goes for weekly bias.
