ICT Essentials [LDT]

Overview

ICT Essentials [LDT] is an all-in-one trading utility built to create a natural and efficient workflow for ICT-based traders.
Every component has been designed to integrate seamlessly and update dynamically across timeframes.
The indicator focuses on clarity, performance and customization, allowing traders to tailor every part of their trading experience.

Equal Highs & Lows

This feature automatically detects and marks Equal Highs (EQH) and Equal Lows (EQL) with full control over visuals and behavior.
Users can customize line colors, widths, and styles, label size, color, background transparency and text offset.
The logic uses an optimized scanning and caching system that maintains smooth performance even on higher timeframes.
It provides a precise and adaptive way to identify structural liquidity points whilst keeping the chart clean and readable.

Killzones & Session Pivots

Plots the main trading sessions such as Asia, London and New York (AM, Lunch, PM) with full flexibility and styling options.
Each session can be enabled or disabled individually, with its own color, transparency and label preferences.
Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and plotted as pivots with extension modes like Until Mitigated or Past Mitigation.
This system gives traders the ability to organize market sessions exactly how they prefer whilst keeping the chart consistent and efficient.

Daily Pivots and Tier System

Alongside session pivots, the script tracks daily highs and lows to provide a broader structural view of price. These pivots are stored and displayed on the chart with their appearance updating automatically when price interacts with them.

The system includes a unique tier-based visibility filter that maintains a clean chart by preventing duplicate or overlapping pivots. Recent daily pivots are cached and compared to session pivots and when two levels fall within a defined proximity, the redundant one is automatically hidden. This creates a clear hierarchy of daily and session levels, keeping the most relevant structure visible whilst removing noise.

All aspects of the daily pivot system are fully customizable, including the number of tracked pivots, color, style settings and how mitigated levels are handled. The caching and filtering logic ensures smooth performance and a visually organized workspace even as the data updates in real time.

Key Times

Allows up to five custom key time markers such as the Midnight Open, 6:00 AM or 10:00 AM.
Each marker can be fully customized with its own text, color, line style and thickness.
This makes it simple to visualize key reaction points that align with each traders timing model.

Higher Timeframe Candles

Displays higher timeframe candles such as 1H, 4H or Daily directly on the active chart to provide context without switching views.
Users can customize body, wick and border colors, along with adding optional trace lines for the open, close, high and low and can also show the countdown timers for remaining candle time.
Adjustable spacing, positioning and label visibility makes the display blend naturally with any trading setup.
This module helps traders connect multiple timeframes visually in a clean and intuitive way.

Watermark

Adds a customizable watermark with title, subtitle and symbol or timeframe information.
Every element can be adjusted for color, size, transparency, alignment and position.
The result is a polished, professional chart layout that adapts to the user's personal style.

Optimization and Design

ICT Essentials [LDT] is built for performance, using cached arrays and lightweight calculations to maintain responsiveness on all timeframes.
Each feature can be toggled individually to suit the traders focus or system performance.
The script delivers a fluid, customizable and highly optimized trading experience designed to feel natural and effortless in day-to-day use.
