PIPSTA - Sniper - ICT Advanced

pipsta sniper is a multi-asset ict-inspired indicator designed for intraday traders who follow liquidity concepts, london sweeps, and new york kill zone execution. it works across nq/es futures, gold/xauusd, and forex pairs using adaptive logic and dynamic thresholds so the behaviour fits each market naturally. the focus is simple: track liquidity, identify sweeps, wait for the kill zone window, and trigger clean automated setups.

the indicator monitors asian, london, and pre-market sessions using new york time. it records each session’s high and low, updates them in real time, and draws them on the chart. these levels reset at the start of every trading day. london highs and lows are especially important: when price breaks past a london level by a defined threshold specific to the asset, the indicator marks it as a sweep. once a sweep occurs, the level label updates, colours change, and the info panel reflects the sweep status. this gives traders clear structure for liquidity bias.

the new york kill zone (9:35–9:55 am et) is highlighted on the chart. this is the only zone where trade signals are allowed. the indicator waits for price to show either a spike-fade reversal after a sweep or a momentum breakout after a sweep. spike-fade signals appear when price forms a short-term extreme and reverses at the close of the bar, while breakout signals appear when price breaks a recent 10-bar range with direction aligned to liquidity taken earlier in the morning. both require a prior london sweep to avoid random entries.

when a signal is triggered, the tool automatically sets up entry, stop, and target levels. the entry happens at the bar close. the target and stop distances adjust based on which asset you selected (futures, gold, forex). the script draws the entry line, take-profit line, stop line, and also places a marker showing buy or sell direction. a trade table appears on the bottom right of the chart showing the signal type, entry price, stop distance, target distance, and real-time risk-to-reward ratio. if alerts are enabled, the trader will receive notifications for entry, stop hit, target hit, and automatic exit at 10:00 am et.

the built-in info panel provides live trading context:
• asset type currently selected
• session status (asian, london, pre-market, ny open, kill zone, etc)
• london sweep status (high swept, low swept, or both)
• current new york time displayed in am/pm format
• active sweep threshold and target parameters
• next expected market event such as asian open, london open, pre-market, ny open, kill zone start, session exit, or rth close

this gives traders a structured, real-time look at the market environment so they always know where they are within the trading day.

recommended usage:
• ensure the correct asset type is selected
• wait for london sweeps to occur (high, low, or both)
• watch for setups only inside the kill zone between 9:35 and 9:55 am et
• use the provided entry, stop, and target levels or refine according to your own risk rules
• always close trades by 10:00 am et since the morning algorithmic behaviour tapers off
• keep position sizing reasonable and follow your own risk management

important notes:
• the script does not place trades for you; it only signals
• it is tuned for intraday behaviour in the new york morning session
• performance outside the kill zone is intentionally limited
• sweep detection uses simplified logic for reliability and speed
• signals work best when combined with your own higher-timeframe bias or personal confirmation

this indicator is ideal for traders who follow ict concepts, smart money models, liquidity sweeps, kill zone execution, and structured session trading. it provides clean visuals, automated signals, and a complete on-screen trade model, making it easy to follow institutional trading behaviour without overcomplicating the chart.
