Liquidity stop huntThis tool identifies key liquidity zones where stop hunts are likely to occur.
**How it works:**
- Detects swing highs/lows on your selected timeframe.
- Marks levels where "liquidity sweeps" (fakeouts) often happen.
- Plots these zones as dotted lines for visual reference.
**How to use:**
1. Look for price rejections near marked levels.
2. Avoid placing stops too close to obvious liquidity zones.
3. Combine with price action for confirmation.
**Settings:**
- Timeframe: Choose the historical period for analysis (e.g., 1D, 1W).
- Sweep Type: "Wick Only" for precise tails, "Regular" for all breaks.
- Colors/Style: Customize appearance.
Note: Works best in trending markets. Not a standalone strategy — always confirm with additional analysis.

One Trading Setup for Life ICT [TradingFinder] Sweep Session FVG🔵 Introduction
ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a trading strategy based on liquidity and market structure shifts, utilizing the PM Session Sweep to determine price direction. In this strategy, the market first forms a price range during the PM Session (from 13:30 to 16:00 EST), which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low).
In the next session, the price first touches one of these levels to trigger a Liquidity Hunt before confirming its trend by breaking the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. After this confirmation, the price retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), which serve as the best entry points in alignment with liquidity.
In financial markets, liquidity is the primary driver of price movement, and major market participants such as institutional investors and banks are constantly seeking liquidity at key levels. This process, known as Liquidity Hunt or Liquidity Sweep, occurs when the price reaches an area with a high concentration of orders, absorbs liquidity, and then reverses direction.
In this setup, the PM Session range acts as a trading framework, where its highs and lows function as key liquidity zones that influence the next session’s price movement. After the New York market opens at 9:30 EST, the price initially breaks one of these levels to capture liquidity.
However, for a trend shift to be confirmed, the CISD Level must be broken.
Once the CISD Level is breached, the price retraces toward an FVG or OB, which serve as optimal trade entry points.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
In this strategy, the PM Session range is first identified, which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low) between 13:30 and 16:00 EST. In the following session, the price touches one of these levels for a Liquidity Hunt, followed by a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. The price then retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), creating a trading opportunity.
This process can occur in two scenarios : bearish and bullish setups.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a bullish scenario, the PM Session High and PM Session Low are identified. In the following session, the price first breaks the PM Session Low, absorbing liquidity. This process results in a Fake Breakout to the downside, misleading retail traders into taking short positions.
After the Liquidity Hunt, the CISD Level is broken, confirming a trend reversal. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering an optimal long entry opportunity.
The initial take-profit target is the PM Session High, but if higher timeframe liquidity levels exist, extended targets can be set.
The stop-loss should be placed below the Fake Breakout low or the first candle of the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a bearish scenario, the market first defines its PM Session High and PM Session Low. In the next session, the price initially breaks the PM Session High, triggering a Liquidity Hunt. This movement often causes a Fake Breakout, misleading retail traders into taking incorrect positions.
After absorbing liquidity, the CISD Level breaks, indicating a shift in market structure. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering the best short entry opportunity.
The initial take-profit target is the PM Session Low, but if additional liquidity exists on higher timeframes, lower targets can be considered.
The stop-loss should be placed above the Fake Breakout high or the first candle of the FVG.
🔵 Setting
CISD Bar Back Check : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.

🔵 Conclusion
The ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a liquidity-based strategy that leverages market structure shifts and precise entry points to identify high-probability trade opportunities. By focusing on PM Session High and PM Session Low, this setup first captures liquidity at these levels and then confirms trend shifts with a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level.
Entering a trade after a retracement to an FVG or OB allows traders to position themselves at optimal liquidity levels, ensuring high reward-to-risk trades. When used in conjunction with higher timeframe bias, order flow, and liquidity analysis, this strategy can become one of the most effective trading methods within the ICT Concept framework.
Successful execution of this setup requires risk management, patience, and a deep understanding of liquidity dynamics. Traders can enhance their confidence in this strategy by conducting extensive backtesting and analyzing past market data to optimize their approach for different assets.

Balanced Price Range | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator! A Balanced Price Range is a trading concept used by price action traders. It is detected by finding overlapping area between two contrary Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These areas can be used as entry points during market pullbacks. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Balanced Price Range Features :
Balanced Price Range Detection : Identifies areas where bullish and bearish FVGs overlap, suggesting a zone of price equilibrium.
Customizable FVG & BPR Detection : You can fine-tune FVG detection and sensitivity for BPR detection to your liking.
Retest Labels : Bullish & Bearish retest labels will be rendered for BPRs.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish BPR detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator doesn't just detect standard FVGs but specifically looks for areas where bullish and bearish IFVGs (Invalidated Fair Value Gaps) overlap, defining a Balanced Price Range. It also actively manages and updates identified BPR zones, removing them when they are invalidated or remain untouched for a specified period. It highlights and alerts users to retests of established BPR zones, signaling potential trading opportunities. Users can tailor the appearance of the BPR zones and retest markers, as well as configure specific alerts for new BPR formations and retests.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. The indicator first detects bullish & bearish FVG zones according to their formations on chart. Then, they are dynamically tracked and flagged as invalidated if the price crosses them, turning them into IFVGs. When a FVG & IFVG of the same type overlaps, the indicator combines them into a single BPR of corresponding type. The detected BPR is updated as new data comes in, and renders retests labels as they occur. A bullish BPR can be used to find long trade entry opportunities, while a bearish BPR can be used to find short trade entry opportunities. Retests can also indicate potential movements in the corresponding direction of the BPR. Users can set-up alerts for BPR detection & BPR retests and will get notified as they occur.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired BPR zones will remain visible on the chart.
Balanced Price Range:
FVG Detection Method: Determines the criteria for the bar types forming the initial FVG.
Same: All three bars forming the FVG must be of the same type (all bullish or all bearish).
Mixed: The bar types must vary (a mix of bullish and bearish bars).
All: Bar types can vary or be the same.
FVG Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the initial FVG.
BPR Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the Balanced Price Range.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity of FVG detection. Higher values may identify fewer, larger BPRs, while lower values may detect more, smaller BPRs.
Labels: Toggles the display of text labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables or disables the detection and visualization of BPR retests.
Quarterly Theory ICT 05 [TradingFinder] Doubling Theory Signals🔵 Introduction
Doubling Theory is an advanced approach to price action and market structure analysis that uniquely combines time-based analysis with key Smart Money concepts such as SMT (Smart Money Technique), SSMT (Sequential SMT), Liquidity Sweep, and the Quarterly Theory ICT.
By leveraging fractal time structures and precisely identifying liquidity zones, this method aims to reveal institutional activity specifically smart money entry and exit points hidden within price movements.
At its core, the market is divided into two structural phases: Doubling 1 and Doubling 2. Each phase contains four quarters (Q1 through Q4), which follow the logic of the Quarterly Theory: Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal.
These segments are anchored by the True Open, allowing for precise alignment with cyclical market behavior and providing a deeper structural interpretation of price action.
During Doubling 1, a Sequential SMT (SSMT) Divergence typically forms between two correlated assets. This time-structured divergence occurs between two swing points positioned in separate quarters (e.g., Q1 and Q2), where one asset breaks a significant low or high, while the second asset fails to confirm it. This lack of confirmation—especially when aligned with the Manipulation and Accumulation phases—often signals early smart money involvement.
Following this, the highest and lowest price points from Doubling 1 are designated as liquidity zones. As the market transitions into Doubling 2, it commonly returns to these zones in a calculated move known as a Liquidity Sweep—a sharp, engineered spike intended to trigger stop orders and pending positions. This sweep, often orchestrated by institutional players, facilitates entry into large positions with minimal slippage.
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
Applying Doubling Theory requires a simultaneous understanding of temporal structure and inter-asset behavioral divergence. The method unfolds over two main phases—Doubling 1 and Doubling 2—each divided into four quarters (Q1 to Q4).
The first phase focuses on identifying a Sequential SMT (SSMT) divergence, which forms when two correlated assets (e.g., EURUSD and GBPUSD, or NQ and ES) react differently to key price levels across distinct quarters. For example, one asset may break a previous low while the other maintains structure. This misalignment—especially in Q2, the Manipulation phase—often indicates early smart money accumulation or distribution.
Once this divergence is observed, the extreme highs and lows of Doubling 1 are marked as liquidity zones. In Doubling 2, the market gravitates back toward these zones, executing a Liquidity Sweep.
This move is deliberate—designed to activate clustered stop-loss and pending orders and to exploit pockets of resting liquidity. These sweeps are typically driven by institutional forces looking to absorb liquidity and position themselves ahead of the next major price move.
The key to execution lies in the fact that, during the sweep in Doubling 2, a classic SMT divergence should also appear between the two assets. This indicates a weakening of the previous trend and adds an extra layer of confirmation.
🟣 Bullish Doubling Theory
In the bullish scenario, Doubling 1 begins with a bullish SSMT divergence, where one asset forms a lower low while the other maintains its structure. This divergence signals weakening bearish momentum and possible smart money accumulation. In Doubling 2, the market returns to the previous low and sweeps the liquidity zone—breaking below it on one asset, while the second fails to confirm, forming a bullish SMT divergence.
f this move is followed by a bullish PSP and a clear market structure break (MSB), a long entry is triggered. The stop-loss is placed just below the swept liquidity zone, while the target is set in the premium zone, anticipating a move driven by institutional buyers.
🟣 Bearish Doubling Theory
The bearish scenario follows the same structure in reverse. In Doubling 1, a bearish SSMT divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher high while the other fails to do so. This suggests distribution and weakening buying pressure. Then, in Doubling 2, the market returns to the previous high and executes a liquidity sweep, targeting trapped buyers.
A bearish SMT divergence appears, confirming the move, followed by a bearish PSP on the lower timeframe. A short position is initiated after a confirmed MSB, with the stop-loss placed

🔵 Conclusion
Doubling Theory is a powerful and structured framework within the realm of Smart Money Concepts and ICT methodology, enabling traders to detect high-probability reversal points with precision. By integrating SSMT, SMT, Liquidity Sweeps, and the Quarterly Theory into a unified system, this approach shifts the focus from reactive trading to anticipatory analysis—anchored in time, structure, and liquidity.
What makes Doubling Theory stand out is its logical synergy of time cycles, behavioral divergence, liquidity targeting, and institutional confirmation. In both bullish and bearish scenarios, it provides clearly defined entry and exit strategies, allowing traders to engage the market with confidence, controlled risk, and deeper insight into the mechanics of price manipulation and smart money footprints.

ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System
Overview:
The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones.
This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move.
🔍 What This Script Does
🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic)
The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback.
A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal.
A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction.
📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer
Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction.
Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations.
🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering
Only show signals during institutional trading hours:
London Session
New York AM
Or any custom user-defined session
Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur.
🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional)
Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies.
Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification.
🎨 Visual Feedback
Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles.
Optionally displays:
Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL)
Reversal distance labels
Background color shading on valid signals
Includes built-in alerts for automated trade notification.
🔑 Unique Benefits
Wick Trap Detection: A proprietary approach to detecting stop hunts via wick behavior, not just candle closes.
ATR-based trend filtering: Avoids unnecessary filtering while still maintaining directional bias.
All-in-one system: No need to stack multiple indicators — swing detection, reversal logic, session filtering, and imbalance confirmation are all integrated.
💡 How to Use
Enable Wick Trap Mode to detect stealthy liquidity grabs with strong wicks.
Use Kill Zone filters to trade only when institutions are active.
Optionally enable FVG confluence to improve confidence in reversal zones.
Watch for Bullish signals near SL levels and Bearish signals near SH levels.
Combine with your own execution strategy or other SMC tools for optimal results.
🔗 Best Used With:

✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Highs and Lows with horizontal line projections
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders
This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Identifies Swing Highs & Lows
Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period.
Tracks Liquidity Grabs
A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it.
A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it.
These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing.
Plots Signals Directly on the Chart
Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels.
Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling.
Includes Alert Conditions
Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Adjustable swing lookback period
Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels
Set label font size
Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors
💡 How to Use:
Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m).
Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone.
Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups.
Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals.
🧠 Why It Works:
Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries.
🔗 Best Used With:

Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Low Detection
Efficient Liquidity Sweep Visualization for Smart Money Traders
This script automatically identifies and plots liquidity-rich swing lows based on pivot logic, filters them to remove redundant levels, and overlays daily highs/lows for added context — giving Smart Money Concept (SMC) traders a clean, actionable map of liquidity.
It’s designed to be minimal yet powerful: perfect for spotting potential liquidity grabs, mitigation zones, and sweep targets with zero chart clutter.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Smart Swing Lows
Uses fixed pivot detection (left = 3, right = customizable) to identify structurally significant swing lows.
Filters out swing lows that are too close together using a percentage-based spacing threshold to reduce noise.
Mitigation Cleanup Logic
Tracks whether recent price action breaches past swing lows.
If breached, the swing level is automatically removed, keeping only relevant, unmitigated liquidity levels on your chart.
Plots Daily Highs and Lows
Each new trading day, horizontal rays mark the prior day’s high and low — useful for identifying resting liquidity and possible sweep zones.
Labeling and Style Customization
Optional labels for swing lows.
Full control over label size, color, and visibility to match any chart aesthetic.
Timeframe Filtering
Runs exclusively on 5m, 10m, and 15m charts to ensure optimal reliability and signal clarity.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Pivot sensitivity (Right side control)
Minimum distance between swing lows (in %)
Label visibility, size, and color
Line width and colors for both swing levels and daily highs/lows
Mitigation cleanup lookback length
💡 How to Use:
Add the script to a qualifying intraday chart (5–15m).
Use the swing low levels to monitor liquidity-rich zones.
Combine with your personal strategy to identify liquidity grabs, potential reversal zones, or entry points following a sweep.
Let the built-in cleanup logic remove any already-mitigated levels so you can focus on active targets.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This isn’t just another pivot plotter — it’s a smart, self-cleaning SMC tool designed for modern liquidity-based trading strategies.
A must-have for traders using concepts like liquidity grabs, mitigation blocks, or sweep-to-reverse trade models.
🔗 Best used in combination with:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector: Pinpoint the day’s first imbalance zone for intraday setups.
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels: Confluence-based entries powered by liquidity logic, order blocks, and premium/discount zones.

First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

Quarterly Theory ICT 02 [TradingFinder] True Open Session 90 Min🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and fractal time. It divides time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and is designed based on the consistent repetition of these phases across all trading timeframes (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even shorter trading sessions).
Each cycle consists of four distinct phases: the first phase (Q1) is the Accumulation phase, characterized by price consolidation; the second phase (Q2), known as Manipulation or Judas Swing, is marked by initial false movements indicating a potential shift; the third phase (Q3) is Distribution, where price volatility peaks; and the fourth phase (Q4) is Continuation/Reversal, determining whether the previous trend continues or reverses.
🔵 How to Use
The central concept of this strategy is the "True Open," which refers to the actual starting point of each time cycle. The True Open is typically defined at the beginning of the second phase (Q2) of each cycle. Prices trading above or below the True Open serve as a benchmark for predicting the market's potential direction and guiding trading decisions.
The practical application of the Quarterly Theory strategy relies on accurately identifying True Open points across various timeframes.
True Open points are defined as follows :
Yearly Cycle :
Q1: January, February, March
Q2: April, May, June (True Open: April Monthly Open)
Q3: July, August, September
Q4: October, November, December
Monthly Cycle :
Q1: First Monday of the month
Q2: Second Monday of the month (True Open: Daily Candle Open price on the second Monday)
Q3: Third Monday of the month
Q4: Fourth Monday of the month
Weekly Cycle :
Q1: Monday
Q2: Tuesday (True Open: Daily Candle Open Price on Tuesday)
Q3: Wednesday
Q4: Thursday
Daily Cycle :
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asian session)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (True Open: Start of London Session)

Q4: 10:30 - 12:00
90 Min New York PM Session :
Q1: 12:00 - 13:30
Q2: 13:30 - 15:00 (True Open at 13:30)
Q3: 15:00 - 16:30
Q4: 16:30 - 18:00
Micro Cycle (22.5-Minute Quarters) : Each 90-minute quarter is further divided into four 22.5-minute sub-segments (Micro Sessions).
True Opens in these sessions are defined as follows :
Asian Micro Session :
True Session Open : 19:30 - 19:52:30
London Micro Session :
T rue Session Open : 01:30 - 01:52:30
New York AM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 07:30 - 07:52:30
New York PM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 13:30 - 13:52:30
By accurately identifying these True Open points across various timeframes, traders can effectively forecast the market direction, analyze price movements in detail, and optimize their trading positions. Prices trading above or below these key levels serve as critical benchmarks for determining market direction and making informed trading decisions.
🔵 Setting
Show True Range : Enable or disable the display of the True Range on the chart, including the option to customize the color.
Extend True Range Line : Choose how to extend the True Range line on the chart, with the following options:
None: No line extension
Right: Extend the line to the right
Left: Extend the line to the left
Both: Extend the line in both directions (left and right)
Show Table : Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info : Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
The Quarterly Theory ICT, by dividing time into four distinct quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and emphasizing the concept of the True Open, provides a structured and repeatable framework for analyzing price action across multiple time frames.
The consistent repetition of phases—Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal—allows traders to effectively identify recurring price patterns and critical market turning points. Utilizing the True Open as a benchmark, traders can more accurately determine potential directional bias, optimize trade entries and exits, and manage risk effectively.
By incorporating principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time, this strategy enhances market forecasting accuracy across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and shorter trading sessions. This systematic approach helps traders gain deeper insight into market structure and confidently execute informed trading decisions.
