ICT Macro Tracker | Multi-TFThis indicator extends the ICT Macro boundaries to different timeframe, not just the traditionally known 10min to 10min hourly window.
From 1-Hour to Monthly, each candle will close → open.
During this handoff is where the new OHLC sequence begins and liquidity seeks / rebalances inefficiencies.
Built on the foundation of @toodegrees ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker°.
Extended to track candle boundary macros across multi-timeframe tiers with automatic timeframe alignment, session filtering, H/L tracking, and a full alert system.
💠 MACRO OHLC CONCEPT
Every candle must close before the next one opens. That transition is where the algorithm seeks liquidity or rebalances price.
One hour divides into four 15-minute candles, each maps to a leg of the OHLC sequence: Open, High (or Low), Low (or High), Close.
The traditional ICT macro captures a 20-minute window: last 10 minutes of the closing candle, first 10 of the new one.
Extend that to 15 minutes each side and the window now aligns with the full 15-minute OHLC legs. The close completing its delivery and the open beginning its new sequence.
This principle is fractal. The same close → open handoff applies at every timeframe:

4-Hour Macro → 15-Min
Last 1H of closing 4H → First 1H of new 4H · ~2 hours
1-Hour Macro → 1-Min
Last 15min of closing hour → First 15min of new hour · ~30 min

💠 SETTINGS
📐 Settings
– Macros: main on/off toggle
– Above / Below: bracket display position relative to price

💠USAGE
Start with Auto mode, it picks the right macro tier for your chart timeframe automatically.
Recommended starting points:
– 1-min to 3-min chart → 1H macros (every hourly boundary)
– 5-min chart → 4H macros (session-level boundaries)
– 15-min chart → Daily macros
– 1-hour chart → Weekly macros
– 4-hour chart → Monthly macros
Switch to Custom mode when you want multiple tiers visible at once or need fine control over which sessions and timeframes appear.
The bracket shows the macro time window. The 50% midpoint marks where the old candle's close transitions to the new candle's open. H/L lines mark where liquidity was created during the macro, watch for price to return and mitigate those levels.
Hover over any bracket label for detailed tooltip information including the exact time range, session, window size, and futures/midnight alignment.
