ICT Average Daily Range (ADR)📊 ICT Average Daily Range (ADR) Indicator
This indicator implements the Average Daily Range (ADR) concept taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). It calculates the average range of previous trading days and projects key levels for the current session, helping traders identify high-probability targets and reversal zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ KEY FEATURES
- Accurate ADR Calculation - Uses only completed trading sessions (excludes current incomplete day)
- ICT Judas Swing Levels - Highlights the critical 1/3 ADR levels where institutional manipulation often occurs
- Two Calculation Modes - New York Midnight (ICT recommended) or Classic Daily
- Customizable Fractional Levels - 1/3, 2/3, 25%, 50%, 75% of ADR
- Smart Labels - Display price levels and percentage from open
- Flexible Visual Style - Separate line styles for different level groups
- Session Dividers - Optional vertical lines at session start
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📅 WEEKEND SESSION HANDLING
How Forex Sessions Work:
- Monday-Thursday: Full 24-hour sessions
- Friday: Partial session (00:00 to ~17:00 NY time)
- Sunday: Partial session (~17:00 NY to Monday 00:00)
- Saturday: No trading
Impact on ADR:
Both Friday and Sunday are partial sessions which can lower your ADR average. For example: Mon-Thu average 100 pips, Fri 70 pips, Sun 30 pips = 5-day ADR of 80 pips.
Other Markets:
- Crypto: 24/7 trading, no partial days
- Futures/Stocks: No Sunday session
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 ICT CONCEPTS
Average Daily Range (ADR)
Statistical measure of average price movement per day. Acts as a "magnet" for price - markets tend to fulfill their ADR.
1/3 ADR Levels - "Judas Swing"
ICT's signature concept for identifying manipulation zones. Price often sweeps these levels to trap retail traders before reversing. High-probability reversal areas during London/NY sessions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
ADR Period: Number of days for calculation (default 5)
- Lower values = More responsive
- Higher values = Smoother levels
Calculation Mode:
- New York Midnight - ICT standard, best for Forex
- Classic Daily - Exchange timezone
Level Display:
- ADR High/Low - Primary targets
- 1/3 Levels - Judas Swing zones
- 2/3 Levels - Trending day targets
- Quarter Levels - 25% and 75%
- 50% Level - Mid-range
Visual Options:
- Separate line styles for each level group
- Customizable colors and width

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 TRADING TIPS
1. Early Session: If price moves to 1/3 ADR quickly, watch for Judas Swing reversal
2. Mid Session: Use 2/3 levels as continuation targets in trending markets
3. Late Session: ADR completion often marks session extremes
4. Risk Management: Use fractional levels for scaling positions
5. Confluence: Combine with Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and Liquidity Pools
Best Timeframes: 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H for intraday trading

[TehThomas] - ICT Rejection BlocksWhat Are Rejection Blocks?
Rejection Blocks are price zones formed when a candle attempts to push through a level, gets rejected with force, and then closes in the opposite direction. This price action creates a “block” that reflects clear intent from smart money participants. These blocks are typically marked by a large wick that fails to close beyond a key high or low, followed by a body that closes back inside the previous range. The zone around the candle body becomes a footprint of where buyers or sellers aggressively stepped in, often defending that level with size.
Why Rejection Blocks Matter to Smart Money Traders
In any smart money model, understanding where large players are active is key. Rejection Blocks highlight exactly that. These zones often sit just above inducement highs or below engineered lows, where liquidity was taken before displacement occurred. By identifying where price got rejected with conviction, traders can spot the origin of institutional interest. These levels often act as magnets for retracement and can provide high-probability entries when price trades back into them. The best part is they often line up with other SMT elements like Fair Value Gaps, Breaker Blocks, or market structure shifts, allowing for strong confluence-based setups.
How the Indicator Works and Why It’s Effective
This script is designed to do one thing exceptionally well, automatically detect and display clean, high-quality rejection blocks. It filters out noise and only marks candles that meet strict rejection criteria. That means long wicks showing failed pushes, and bodies that close convincingly in the opposite direction. The indicator then draws a box over the candle body to mark the rejection zone. These boxes help map out areas where price is likely to react or stall in the future. By automating this process, the indicator saves time, improves consistency, and removes guesswork. You no longer have to manually scan charts or second-guess if a level is valid, the tool handles it for you.
What This Adds to Your Trading Workflow
This tool fits perfectly into any smart money strategy built around liquidity, displacement, and market structure. It helps you focus on the most meaningful zones, especially when price sweeps a high or low and leaves behind a reversal. Whether you trade breakouts, reversals, or liquidity setups, Rejection Blocks give you a visual confirmation of where price got turned away. They act as future entry zones, rejection points, or even stop placement areas. You can pair them with your Fair Value Gap entries, or use them to validate the direction of a shift in structure. This is the type of tool that simplifies your chart without losing precision.
Optimized for Focus and Clarity
There’s no clutter, no overload of options, and no distractions. Just clean, focused rejection zones that update in real-time. The boxes stay until invalidated, giving you a static map of relevant zones without recalculating on every bar. This makes it ideal for traders who want to plan entries, set alerts, or manage risk without redrawing levels every session. Whether you scalp on the 5M or swing trade using the 4H, this tool helps lock in the zones where price already told you something important, rejection with force.
Conclusion
The Rejection Blocks indicator is for traders who want cleaner charts, smarter levels, and more conviction behind every entry. It isolates zones where price showed clear rejection and turns them into actionable blocks that fit seamlessly into any smart money strategy. If you rely on liquidity sweeps, displacement, and reaction-based entries, this tool brings clarity and consistency to your edge. Just turn it on and let it show you where real rejection occurred.
Example of how to use it
HADES Time Cycle SMT
Overview
The **HADES Time Cycle SMT** indicator is a sophisticated and enhanced version of the original HADES SMT framework, designed for advanced traders seeking to identify high-probability Smart Money Time (SMT) divergences across multiple symbols and timeframes. This private script integrates time cycle analysis, multi-symbol SMT detection, and confluence signals to provide actionable insights for trading major indices like the S&P 500 (ES), Nasdaq (NQ), and Dow Jones (YM). With a customizable dashboard, session anchors, and advanced filtering, this tool is tailored for precision and clarity in fast-moving markets.
---
### Key Features
1. **Multi-Symbol SMT Divergence Detection**
- Compares price action across up to three user-defined symbols (default: ES1!, NQ1!, YM1!) to detect bullish and bearish SMT divergences.
- Enhanced divergence strength calculation ensures only significant divergences are highlighted, with a customizable minimum strength filter (0–10%).
- Supports up to 50 visible SMT lines with customizable styles (solid, dashed, dotted) and widths for clear visualization.
2. **Time Cycle Analysis**
- Automatically detects cycle periods (5min, 10min, 30min, 90min, 4H, Daily, Weekly) based on the chart’s timeframe or allows manual cycle selection.
- Tracks cycle highs and lows to provide context for SMT signals, with optional visualization of cycle boxes and previous cycle high/low lines.
3. **Confluence Detection**
- Highlights when multiple symbols exhibit SMT divergences simultaneously, increasing the reliability of signals.
- Confluence labels are displayed on the chart with customizable colors and styles for quick identification.
4. **Enhanced Dashboard**
- Displays real-time data on SMT divergences, pivot counts, and current prices for all tracked symbols.
- Customizable location (Top Right, Bottom Right, etc.), text size, and color scheme for a personalized trading experience.
- Shows percentage of pivots with SMT divergences for each symbol, aiding in signal prioritization.
5. **Advanced Filtering and Customization**
- Minimum divergence strength filter to reduce noise and focus on high-impact signals.
- Optional liquidity interaction requirement to ensure SMT signals occur near significant price levels.
- Extensive style options for SMT lines, confluence labels, and dashboard aesthetics.
6. **Alert System**
- Configurable alerts for:
- SMT divergence detection (single symbol).
- Confluence events (multiple symbols).
- New time cycle starts.
- Alerts are designed to integrate seamlessly with TradingView’s notification system for timely trade execution.
### How It Works
1. **SMT Divergence Detection**
The script identifies divergences by comparing pivot highs and lows between the chart’s price action and up to three user-selected symbols. A divergence occurs when the chart’s price movement opposes the comparison symbol’s movement (e.g., chart makes a higher high while the symbol makes a lower high). Only divergences meeting the minimum strength threshold and optional liquidity interaction criteria are displayed.
2. **Time Cycle Framework**
The indicator tracks price action within defined time cycles (e.g., 30min, 4H, Daily), updating cycle highs and lows dynamically. This contextualizes SMT signals within market moves, improving trade timing.
3. **Confluence and Visualization**
When multiple symbols show SMT divergences at the same pivot, a confluence label highlights the event, signaling higher-probability setups. The dashboard provides a snapshot of SMT activity, pivot counts, and price data across all symbols.
### Ideal Use Cases
- **Day Trading:** Use on lower timeframes (1min–30min) to capture intraday SMT setups during major sessions (London, NY).
- **Swing Trading:** Apply on higher timeframes (4H–Weekly) to identify longer-term reversal points with confluence.
- **Index Trading:** Optimized for major indices (ES, NQ, YM) but adaptable to other correlated assets.
- **Risk Management:** Combine with session anchors and confluence signals to filter high-probability entries.
---
### Settings Overview
- **Pivot Settings:** Adjust pivot lookback (default: 3) and max SMT lines (default: 5).
- **Symbol Selection:** Enable/disable up to three comparison symbols (default: ES1!, NQ1!, YM1!).
- **Time Cycles:** Toggle auto-cycle detection or manually select cycle periods (5min–Weekly).
- **Display Options:** Show/hide SMT lines, confluence labels, cycle boxes, session anchors, and dashboard.
- **Filters:** Set minimum divergence strength and enable liquidity interaction requirements.
- **Style:** Customize colors, line styles, and dashboard appearance for optimal clarity.
The Devils Mark [TakingProphets]“The Devil’s Mark” is a subtle yet deadly point of interest on the chart—where price has a habit of coming back to die.
Built around a deceptively simple condition, this tool marks highly reactive levels that often act as short-term magnets for price.
Whether you're trading reversals, continuations, or looking to refine sniper entries, the Devil’s Mark offers a clean way to anticipate potential retracements and engineered liquidity sweeps. It doesn't rely on indicators, oscillators, or moving averages—just raw price action logic that repeats day after day.
🔥 What It Does
The Devil’s Mark identifies a candle where the open equals either the high or the low—a specific structure known to frequently draw price back for manipulation, inducement, or mitigation.
Once identified, it marks the level with a custom emoji (😈 by default) and—optionally—a horizontal line extending forward. When price returns and reacts to this level, the mark self-deletes to keep your chart clean and relevant.
💡 Key Features
👿 Devil’s Mark Logic
Triggers when the open equals high (potential sell-side setup) or open equals low (potential buy-side setup)
These conditions often mark areas where liquidity has been engineered—likely to be revisited later
Applies to any timeframe, adapting automatically to the chart you're on
Custom Emojis
Choose from 😈, 🔥, 💀, or 🤡
Each emoji is placed precisely at the candle’s open, labeled in your chosen color for clarity
📈 Optional Horizontal Lines
Toggle lines on/off depending on your preference
Lines extend forward to highlight the key level price is likely to return to
Helps visualize interaction points, re-entries, or partial exits
🧼 Automatic Cleanup
Once price interacts with the Devil’s Mark (via wick or body), the label and line are automatically deleted
This keeps your chart minimal and focused only on active untested levels
🚨 Alerts Built In
Receive an alert when a new Devil’s Mark is formed, including the exact price and condition
Ideal for monitoring developing setups without staring at the chart
🧾 Info Box (Optional)
Displays the symbol, timeframe, and indicator title at the bottom of your chart
Helps when journaling trades or sharing analysis with your community
⚙️ Customization
Choose your emoji: 😈, 🔥, 💀, 🤡
Line visibility toggle
Fully customizable colors for bullish (Open = Low) and bearish (Open = High) marks
Enable/disable alerts to suit your workflow
Minimalist by default, but expandable for those who like more on-chart structure
🔄 Use Cases
Targeted liquidity grabs around recent highs/lows
Short-term reversion points for scalpers
Confluence for stop-hunts and inducement plays
Marking levels that often serve as "second entries" or "trap breaks"
⚠️ Final Note
This tool doesn’t predict direction—it highlights structure. Use it in combination with your narrative, bias, and entry model. Especially effective when paired with SMC or ICT-based strategies that account for liquidity, displacement, and manipulation.
Trade smart, stay disciplined, and don’t ignore the marks—they have a habit of dragging price back, whether you like it or not.
CISD & OB - The Real ICT Way [BLAZ]ICT Order Blocks & CISD
This indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and highlights Order Blocks (OB) and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD) — two foundational concepts for understanding institutional order flow and potential market turning points.
Order Block (OB)
An Order Block represents a specific price zone where institutional participants (“smart money”) have executed substantial buy or sell orders. These zones often precede significant price movements and are commonly identified on candlestick charts by observing the following behaviour:
A strong impulsive move in price that closes above or below the open price of an opposing candle (or series of candles).
Types of Order Blocks:
Bullish Order Block
A bullish OB forms when a bullish impulsive move closes above the open of the first bearish candle (or sequence of bearish candles). This signals strong buying interest at that level.
Bearish Order Block
A bearish OB forms when a bearish impulsive move closes below the open of the first bullish candle (or sequence of bullish candles). This indicates significant selling pressure.
These areas often act as high-probability zones for price reversals, continuation, or liquidity grabs, and are widely monitored by ICT-based traders.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
A CISD marks a shift in market sentiment, structure, or institutional order flow. It is represented by the first OB that forms in the opposite direction of the prevailing market trend or prior OB.
Types of CISD:
Bullish CISD: The first bullish OB following a bearish OB or bearish CISD.
Bearish CISD: The first bearish OB following a bullish OB or bullish CISD.
CISDs are critical in identifying potential trend reversals or transitions between accumulation and distribution phases. They help traders anticipate shifts in directional bias and refine entry timing.
This indicator is designed to visually capture these important zones and transitions, providing users with a clearer understanding of where institutional activity may influence price and where key structural shifts occur.
Note: Labels displayed on the chart are included for illustrative purposes only and do not represent part of the indicator's functional features.
Core Functionality:
This indicator offers a precise and rules-based plotting of ICT Order Blocks (OB) and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD), faithfully adhering to the original concepts as taught within the ICT framework. It is designed to function seamlessly across any asset class and timeframe, enabling users to accurately interpret market structure, institutional order flow, and potential directional shifts.
Flexible Line Display
To provide clarity without overwhelming the chart, users can individually control the number of bullish and bearish lines displayed, with up to 25 OB/CISD per direction (bullish and bearish). This feature helps tailor the indicator to specific trading styles or charting preferences, making it suitable for both scalping and higher timeframe structural analysis.
Visual Customisation
Users can fully tailor the appearance of Order Block and CISD lines to align with their chart preferences. Customisation includes:
Individual colour selection for bullish and bearish OBs, and for bullish and bearish CISDs.
Adjustable line width, up to a maximum of 10 pixels, allowing clear visual distinction even in high-density chart environments.
Selective visibility: Users can toggle OB or CISD lines independently, allowing full attention on structural breaks or trend reversal zones as needed.
Built for Precision, Designed for Clarity
This indicator is built for serious traders who demand mechanical consistency in identifying institutional footprints. It is not based on subjective interpretation but on strict, codified rules that reflect actual ICT principles. Whether you are analysing a change in delivery state or mapping historical OB zones, the ICT CISD & OB indicator ensures you are equipped with:
Real-time and historical OB/CISD detection
Multi-timeframe compatibility
Instant structure recognition
This tool bridges the gap between theory and execution, giving you the edge in identifying where smart money is active and how to position around it.

Prophet Model [TakingProphets]This model has helped me secure multiple funded prop firm payouts.
Inspired by ICT trader “Its Johnny,” the Prophet Model is one of the most effective tools I’ve ever used to consistently identify high-conviction, high-probability setups.
Let me be clear: this indicator alone won’t make you profitable—but when paired with discipline and discretion, it becomes a serious edge. Built specifically for traders who understand ICT and Flow State principles, this tool streamlines your workflow by dynamically aligning SMC concepts into one cohesive model.
It’s structured. It’s intentional. And in the right hands, it’s one of the most powerful indicators on the market.
🧠 Overview
The Prophet Model is a logic-driven smart money framework that automates your confluence-building process. It aligns multiple components of market structure, liquidity, and displacement into a visual checklist, guiding you toward clean setups without clutter.
THIS INDICATOR LOOKS FOR:
-Tap into HTF PD Arrays using intelligent timeframe mapping
-Confirm delivery shifts using ICT Candle Range Theory (CRT)
-Wait for sweep > displacement > gap—before entry is even considered
-Visualize TP, SL, and BE levels based on real ranges, not arbitrary ticks
-Check setup validity in real time with a dynamic criteria checklist
-Strengthen execution with Flow State relationship confirmations
Detailed Feature Breakdown
🔭 High Time Frame PDA Mapping
Each lower timeframe (e.g. M1, M5, M15) is automatically aligned with its higher timeframe counterpart (e.g. M15, H1, H4).
The model continuously scans for unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on that HTF and draws them in real-time on your current chart—highlighting areas of premium and discount efficiently.
-Only non-weekend, clean gaps are drawn
-Gaps update dynamically and extend by user-defined bar counts
-HTF PDA mitigation is visually tracked and used as a condition in confluence
🕯️ Candle Range Theory (CRT) Detection
Once an HTF PDA is active, the model checks for a valid CRT shift. It compares the last two candles on the higher timeframe to determine whether delivery conditions have shifted (based on ICT’s structure rules).
When detected, a CRT label is shown, supporting directional conviction and potential to expand.
💧 Liquidity Sweep Detection
Before any entry logic is triggered, the model waits for a buy-side or sell-side sweep to occur within the HTF FVG. These sweeps are drawn as dashed lines labeled $$$ and tracked using pivot logic.
-Sweeps are required to form before any CISD
-They must occur inside the active HTF PDA
-Each sweep condition must be met before advancing to next criteria
⚡ Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
Arguably the most critical part of the model: after a sweep, the model waits for a displacement in the opposite direction. Once confirmed, it marks the CISD line (black) and stores this as a trigger point for the next phase of setup building.
Key logic:
-Uses candle sequences to define CISD legs
-Detects when structure shifts via displacement close
-Optional: includes a CRT confirmation for additional confluence
📦 Overlapping Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Entry Adjustment
Once a CISD is confirmed, the model checks if an internal FVG (within the 3-candle structure) overlaps the displacement. If found, the EPE (Easiest Point of Entry) is automatically adjusted to this zone and relabeled.
-This adds an extra layer of precision to your entry—only visible when the overlap exists.
🎯 Take Profit / Break Even / Stop Loss Mapping
After a valid CISD is formed, the model auto-calculates:
-Take Profit: 2.25x the CISD range
-Break Even: 1x the CISD range
-Stop Loss: Recent high/low depending on trade direction
These are plotted on the chart using clearly labeled lines in green (TP), orange (BE), and red (SL), with optional price display.
All risk levels are based on actual structure—not static values.
🧾 Dynamic Setup Checklist
A four-point strategy checklist is drawn on the chart, updating in real time:
-HTF PDA Tap ✅
-CRT Confirmation ✅
-Liquidity Sweep ✅
-CISD Confirmation ✅
This helps traders visually track setup progression without needing to second-guess or manually monitor each component.
🔁 Flow State Alignment Table
This top-right table outlines ideal timeframe pairings based on ICT’s Flow State methodology:
-Monthly PDA + Daily CISD
-Weekly PDA + H4 CISD
-Daily PDA + H1 CISD
The model automatically highlights the correct row when your current timeframe aligns with the expected CISD timeframe—helping you focus only on clean, time-aligned setups.
🟧 Easiest Point of Entry (EPE) Tracking
The model dynamically marks the EPE after CISD confirmation. If an overlapping FVG is detected, it shifts to that level instead. The label changes from “CISD” to “EPE” to help you visually distinguish entry refinement.
-Orange line and label
-Adjusts live when overlap is present
-Helps improve entry precision and reduce drawdown
🧾 Info Box (Optional)
Displays symbol, timeframe, indicator title, and date at the bottom of your chart—useful for journaling, screenshots, or presentations.
⚙️ Customization
Every feature can be toggled on/off:
-Visibility controls for CRT, FVGs, CISD, and Limits
-Color inputs for borders, fills, and text
-Adjustable label sizes, table text sizes, and FVG extension bars
-This allows full flexibility whether you're scalping indices or swing trading majors.
⚠️ Important Notes
This is not a buy/sell signal and is not meant to be traded blindly.
It is designed as a visual framework for ICT and Flow State traders who understand narrative, timing, and context.
Always use proper risk management and confirm bias through your own analysis.

FVG 9:31–10:00 AM ETFVG 9:31–10:00 AM ET - Script Description
What This Script Does
This indicator finds **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** that form during the first 29 minutes of the U.S. stock market (9:31 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time). A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance where there's a gap between candles that often becomes an important support or resistance level.
Key Features:
- **Time Window**: Only looks for FVGs between 9:31-10:00 AM ET (most important opening period)
- **One Per Day**: Finds only the first FVG that forms in this time window each day
- **Visual Display**: Draws a purple box around the gap with a clear "FVG" label
- **Price Tracking**: Monitors when price comes back to test the gap level
- **Alert System**: Sends notifications when price returns to the FVG zone
How FVGs Are Detected:
- **Bullish FVG**: When there's a gap up (low of middle candle is above high of 3rd candle back)
- **Bearish FVG**: When there's a gap down (high of middle candle is below low of 3rd candle back)
The 9:31-10:00 AM window is chosen because this is when institutions and algorithms create their biggest price moves right after market open, making these gaps very reliable.
Customization Options

How to Use:
Setup
Chart Settings
1. Use 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts (works best on these timeframes)
2. Apply to liquid markets like ES, NQ, major stocks, or forex pairs
3. Set the "Extend FVG Box" to your preference (start with 0 or 10)
What You'll See
- A purple box appears when an FVG forms during 9:31-10:00 AM
- Box shows the exact price levels of the gap
- "FVG" label appears on the box
- Only one FVG per day will be marked
Trading Strategies
Basic FVG Trading
1. **Wait for Formation**: Let the purple box appear during 9:31-10:00 AM
2. **Watch Price Movement**: See if price moves away from the gap
3. **Enter on Retest**: When price comes back to the purple box area, consider entering
4. **Trade Direction**:
- Bullish FVG = look for long opportunities when price retests
- Bearish FVG = look for short opportunities when price retests
Entry Methods
- **Bounce Play**: Enter when price touches the FVG box and bounces away
- **Break Play**: Enter if price strongly breaks through the FVG box
- **Rejection Play**: Enter opposite direction if price gets rejected at the FVG
Risk Management
Stop Losses
- Place stops just outside the FVG box (a few ticks beyond the gap)
- If trading a bounce, stop goes on opposite side of the gap
- If trading a break, stop goes back inside the gap
Position Sizing
- Start small until you understand how FVGs work in your market
- Bigger gaps = smaller position size (more risk)
- Smaller gaps = can use larger position size
Profit Targets
- Take profits at obvious levels like round numbers, previous highs/lows
- Consider taking half profits at 1:1 risk/reward ratio
- Let some position run if the move is strong
Best Practices
When It Works Best
- High-volume stocks and futures (ES, NQ work great)
- Normal market days without major news during the 9:31-10:00 window
- When there's clear institutional activity in the opening period
When to Be Careful
- Low-volume stocks or markets
- Major economic news releases during the time window
- Market holidays when volume is low
- Very choppy or sideways days
Alert Usage
- The script will alert you when price comes back to test the FVG
- Don't trade the alert blindly - always check the current market situation
- Use the alert as a heads-up to start watching the setup more closely
Tips for Success
- The earlier the FVG forms in the 9:31-10:00 window, often the more significant it is
- FVGs that form with high volume are usually more reliable
- Always consider the overall market direction - don't fight the main trend
- Practice on paper first to understand how FVGs behave in your chosen market

Twin Tower TP Levels – Hopi Method (from Demystifying ICT 2)📐 Twin Tower TP Levels – Hopi Method (from “Demystifying ICT 2”)
Description:
This indicator visualizes the Twin Tower TP Levels, a concept inspired by the work of the anonymous trader "Hopi", presented in the book "Demystifying ICT 2 (2025 Edition)".
It calculates a set of key take-profit levels based on:
A fixed reference price (typically VWAP at 16:00 EST)
The average daily range (ADR)
A symmetrical unit structure (ADR ÷ 100), projecting levels both above and below the fixed price.
The levels are calculated and labeled at ±7, ±13, ±20, ±30, ±37, ±43, and ±50 units from the Fix Price — providing traders with a balanced range of price action targets and reaction zones.
Key features:
Customizable Fix Price and ADR input
Automatically computes and plots 7 target levels above and below
Color-coded labels for easy reference (green for above, red for below)
Designed for precision take-profit targeting, as conceptualized in the “Twin Tower” method.
Disclaimer:
This script is a fan-made implementation for educational purposes and references concepts discussed in the book "Demystifying ICT 2 (2025 Edition)", attributed to the pseudonymous trader "Hopi".

Liquidity Hunter ProLiquidity Hunter Pro
The Liquidity Hunter Pro is an indicator designed to identify a specific, high-probability trading setup based on the concept of institutional liquidity hunts. The core philosophy is that major market moves are often initiated after large players engineer liquidity by sweeping obvious swing highs or lows, tricking retail traders before revealing their true direction.
This tool automates the detection of this entire sequence, acting as your assistant to filter out market noise and highlight moments of clear institutional intent. It's designed for precision on lower timeframes (like M1) but is fully customizable for any trading style.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Bias: A simple, on-chart panel shows you the dominant trend from a higher timeframe (default: 15min). This acts as your master filter, ensuring you always trade with the larger market flow.
Intelligent Sweep Detection: Instead of flagging every minor break, the LHP identifies significant liquidity sweeps below/above confirmed swing points, marking them with a minimalist 🧹 icon.
Momentum-Filtered CHoCH: A simple break of structure isn't enough. A Change of Character (CHoCH) is only confirmed if the breakout candle has strong momentum, filtering out weak and indecisive reversals.
Clear Visual Cues: The indicator plots clean, minimalist lines for both the swept level (dashed) and the CHoCH confirmation (solid), giving you a clear visual map of the setup.
High-Probability FVG Detection: Automatically highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that are created during the powerful CHoCH move, pinpointing an A+ entry zone.
Customizable Alerts: Never miss a setup. Set alerts for two key events: an early warning on a Liquidity Sweep and the main Setup Ready alert once a sweep is confirmed by a CHoCH.
How to Use: The Optimal Entry Method (A Quick Guide)
The "Liquidity Hunter Pro" is designed to be used with a disciplined, step-by-step approach.
Step 1: Follow the Bias
Look at the HTF Bias Panel in the top-right corner.
If BULLISH, you are ONLY looking for long (buy) setups.
If BEARISH, you are ONLY looking for short (sell) setups.
Step 2: Wait for the Sweep (The Trigger)
Patiently wait for the indicator to plot the 🧹 icon and a dashed horizontal line. This signals that liquidity has been taken and a potential setup is forming.
Step 3: Get Confirmation (The Validation)
You must wait for the indicator to print the solid horizontal CHoCH line and label. This validates that the reversal after the sweep has strength. If no CHoCH appears, the setup is invalid.
Step 4: Identify Your Point of Interest (The Entry Zone)
Once the CHoCH is confirmed, it's time to find your entry.
A+ Entry: The indicator will automatically draw a colored FVG Box if a valid one is created. This is your highest-probability entry zone.
B+ Entry: If no FVG appears, your next best entry zone is the "Inducement Order Block" (the last opposite-colored candle right before the sweep occurred).

ICT Silver Bullet (JadeCap)This strategy backtests the "ICT Silver Bullet Strategy" by JadeCap.
Strategy Description:
This strategy backtests the "ICT Silver Bullet" concept as interpreted by JadeCap. It focuses on plotting the Asia, London, and 9 AM EST highs and lows, and looks for entries during the Silver Bullet hours: 10–11 AM EST and 2–3 PM EST.
Using a 5-minute chart, the strategy waits for a Fair Value Gap (FVG) to form during a Silver Bullet session. A limit order is placed at the FVG if at least one of the specified highs or lows has been raided (liquidity taken).
Caveats:
It is unclear what should happen if both the highs and lows of any range are taken. This script offers three selectable behaviors to handle this case.
It’s unclear whether both AM and PM sessions should always be traded. This strategy allows you to:
Limit the number of daily wins (e.g. skip PM if AM is successful)
Choose to trade only AM, only PM, or both
Customizable Strategy Options (find these in the settings):
Minimum FVG Ticks
Max Daily Wins
Stop loss at candle 1

CRT [TakingProphets]CRT (Candle Range Theory) is a high-level, real-time indicator built for ICT/SMC traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles, identify Candle Range Transitions, and uncover Smart Money Divergence (SMT)—without switching timeframes.
Designed to give traders a bird’s-eye view of institutional price action, CRT offers clear visuals for HTF Open-High-Low-Close projections, bullish/bearish CRT formations, and correlated divergence setups, all layered seamlessly over your lower timeframe chart.
🧠 Core Features Explained
✅ HTF Candle Visualization
Overlay candles from any timeframe (1min to Monthly) directly on your active chart. Perfect for traders using HTF context in their LTF setups (e.g., the Flow State Model). The 3 most recent HTF candles are dynamically displayed with full body/wick precision.
✅ Candle Range Transition (CRT) Detection
Identify institutional footprints. CRT detects high-probability Bearish and Bullish CRTs:
Bearish CRT: A failed continuation to the upside (lower close, higher high).
Bullish CRT: A failed breakdown (higher close, lower low).
These formations act as traps or turning points that often signal smart money rejections.
✅ SMT Divergence Integration
Compare price behavior between correlated assets (e.g., ES vs NQ, or EURUSD vs GBPUSD) to detect divergences in CRT behavior. Confirm traps, anticipate reversals, or avoid false breakouts.
✅ Current Candle Projections
Project the real-time HTF candle’s Open, High, Low, and Close levels across the current session. Use these levels as evolving support/resistance, bias filters, or take-profit zones. All levels are fully customizable by color, label, and visibility.
✅ Custom Display Engine
Modify candle body width, label size, wick color, and transparency to tailor the view to your style. Use the Info Box to display the instrument, HTF timeframe, and date stamp clearly at a glance.
✅ SMT Divergence Lines & Alerts
Draws real-time lines connecting CRT divergences across correlated assets, with bold labels like “BULLISH SMT” or “BEARISH SMT”. Paired with alert conditions to never miss critical confirmation or a potential trap.
✅ Alert System Built for Speed
Four alert types included:
Bullish CRT
Bearish CRT
Bullish SMT Divergence
Bearish SMT Divergence
Set them up once and receive real-time push notifications when smart money shows its hand.
⚙️ Why CRT Matters for ICT/SMC Traders
In ICT, understanding where Smart Money shifts delivery or fails to continue a move is critical. CRT captures these moments by analyzing how the middle candle of a three-candle sequence behaves relative to the prior one. If that middle candle fails to expand the range effectively—or diverges from a correlated pair—it often signals an impending shift.
CRT helps you:
Visualize HTF bias and reaction zones without flipping charts
Detect liquidity traps and engineered false moves
Confirm flow state entries or HTF POI rejections
Enhance SMT logic with actionable real-time divergence overlays
🧭 Who Should Use CRT?
Whether you’re a:
Flow State trader identifying PD Arrays and CISD entries
Intraday sniper waiting for killzone shifts and liquidity grabs
Swing trader using weekly HTF rejection models
Sweep Swing Screener [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Understanding how liquidity forms and how price reacts around key structural levels is essential for identifying precise, low-risk entry points. The Sweep Swing Screener is a specialized tool developed to continuously monitor market activity and detect liquidity sweeps, reaction zones, and valid confirmation candles across various trading instruments and timeframes.
This tool can be applied both to scan multiple symbols at once and to analyze all timeframes of a specific asset for potential reversal points. It begins by identifying a clear swing point, whether a swing high or a swing low, and then outlines a reaction zone between that level and either the highest or lowest value of the swing candle's open or close.
If the price revisits this zone, performs a liquidity grab, and prints an indecision candle like a doji or a narrow-bodied bar that closes within the zone, this may indicate a rejection of the level and the failure of a breakout attempt. At that moment, depending on the context, the screener may identify a bullish or bearish reversal and generate a corresponding Long or Short signal.
By emphasizing accurate entry timing, alignment with institutional order flow, and avoidance of common traps, this approach highlights market areas where liquidity engineering, reversal probability, and price inefficiency come together. As a result, the Sweep Swing Screener becomes a valuable part of any trader’s toolkit, particularly for those who rely on price action and liquidity logic to drive their decisions. It allows traders to focus on clean, actionable setups without getting lost in noise or misleading breakouts.
🔵 How to Use
The Sweep Swing Screener is designed to track market structure in real time and alert users when conditions for a potential reversal are present. Its methodology combines liquidity behavior with swing analysis and candle confirmation, all within predefined reaction zones.
To better understand this logic, consider a basic market flow where a swing high or low forms, followed by a return to that level. If the price sweeps the previous extreme and forms a confirming candle within the reaction zone, a signal is issued.
🟣 Long Signal
To identify a long setup, the screener looks for a valid swing low, often a level below which sell-side liquidity is likely to be clustered. Once found, it defines a reaction zone from the swing low to the lowest point between the candle’s open and close.
If the price returns to this area and creates a lower wick that extends beneath the swing low, the tool checks whether the price manages to close back inside the range, rejecting the breakdown. This indicates absorption of selling pressure and failure to sustain the move lower.
The screener then waits for a confirmation candle to appear. Typically, this is a doji or other small-bodied candle that closes inside the zone. If these conditions are met, the screener records a Long signal for that asset and, if enabled, sends a notification to alert the user.
🟣 Short Signal
For bearish setups, the screener begins by identifying a valid swing high, which usually marks a level where buy-side liquidity is concentrated. It then creates a reaction zone from the swing high to the highest point between the candle’s open and close.
When price returns to this level, sweeps above the swing high, and then fails to close higher, it may signal the presence of a bull trap and early exhaustion in the upward move.
A confirmation candle, usually a doji or a rejection bar that closes back within the zone, is then required. Once that occurs, the screener marks the asset with a Short signal and optionally sends a real-time alert to the user.
This type of setup helps highlight potential institutional sell zones, offering insight into where price is likely to reverse following a liquidity event.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
Maximum Distance Between Swing and Signal : The maximum number of candles allowed between the swing point and the potential signal. The default value is 50, ensuring that only recent and relevant price reactions are considered valid.
🟣 Display Settings
Table Size : Lets you adjust the table’s visual size with options such as: auto, tiny, small, normal, large, huge.
Table Position : Sets the screen location of the table. Choose from 9 possible positions, combining vertical (top, middle, bottom) and horizontal (left, center, right) alignments.
🟣 Symbol Settings

Timeframe : Set your desired timeframe for each symbol (e.g., 15, 60, 240, 1D).
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Sweep Swing Screener provides a systematic method for identifying potential reversal zones by combining price structure, liquidity behavior, and candle-based confirmation. In markets that are often noisy and full of failed breakouts, focusing on these three elements helps clarify directional bias and supports more confident decision-making.
With the ability to scan multiple symbols and timeframes efficiently, this tool allows traders to stay focused on high-quality setups without the need to manually sift through dozens of charts. The inclusion of optional alerts further enhances its utility by offering timely updates when criteria are met.
By moving away from reactive strategies and toward structural anticipation, this screener supports traders who align their methods with institutional logic and the mechanics of smart money.
