First Presented Fair Value Gap [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "First Presented Fair Value Gap" (FPFVG) by Taking Prophets is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It automatically detects and highlights the first valid Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM New York time — one of the most critical windows in ICT-based trading frameworks.
It also plots the Opening Range Equilibrium (the average of the previous day's 4:14 PM close and today's 9:30 AM open) — a key ICT reference point for premium/discount analysis.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This script is highly specialized for early session trading and offers:
Automatic Detection: Finds the first Fair Value Gap after the 9:30 AM NYSE open.
Clear Visualization: Highlights the FVG zone and labels it with optional time stamps.
Equilibrium Line: Plots the Opening Range Equilibrium for instant premium/discount context.
Time-Sensitive Logic: Limits detection to the most volatile early session (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM).
Extension Options: You can extend both the FVG box and Equilibrium line out to 3:45 PM (end of major session liquidity).
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Pre-Market Setup:
Captures the previous day's 4:14 PM close.
Captures today's 9:30 AM open.
Calculates the Equilibrium (midpoint between the two).
After 9:30 AM (New York Time):
Monitors each 1-minute candle for the creation of a Fair Value Gap:
Bullish FVG: Low of the current candle is above the high two candles ago.
Bearish FVG: High of the current candle is below the low two candles ago.
The first valid gap is boxed and optionally labeled.
Post-Detection Management:
The FVG box and label extend forward in time until 3:45 PM (or the current time, based on settings).
If enabled, the Equilibrium line and label also extend to help with premium/discount analysis.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Wait for market open (9:30 AM New York time).
Step 2: Watch for the first presented FVG on the 1-minute chart.
Step 3: Use the FPFVG zone to guide entries (retracements, rejections, or breaks).
Step 4: Use the Opening Range Equilibrium to determine premium vs. discount conditions:
Price above Equilibrium = Premium market.
Price below Equilibrium = Discount market.
Best Application:
In combination with ICT Killzones, especially during the London or New York Open.
When framing intraday bias and identifying optimal trade locations based on liquidity theory.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps: Price imbalances where liquidity is likely inefficient and future rebalancing can occur.
Opening Range Equilibrium: Key ICT price anchor used to separate premium and discount conditions post-open.
Time-Gated Setup: Limits focus to early session price action, aligning with inner circle trader timing models.
🎨 Customization Options:
FVG color, label visibility, and label size.
Opening Range Equilibrium line visibility and label styling.
Extend lines and boxes to 3:45 PM automatically for full session tracking.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers or day traders trading the New York session open.
Traders who want to frame early session bias and liquidity traps effectively.

Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🔵 Settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
Daily Position : Determines whether only the first signal of the day is considered or if signals are evaluated throughout the entire day.
Session : Specifies in which trading sessions the indicator will be active.
Second Symbol : This setting allows you to select another asset for comparison with the primary asset. By default, "XAUUSD" (Gold) is set as the second symbol, but you can change it to any currency pair, stock, or cryptocurrency. For example, you can choose currency pairs like EUR/USD or GBP/USD to identify divergences between these two assets.
Divergence Fractal Periods : This parameter defines the number of past candles to consider when identifying divergences. The default value is 2, but you can change it to suit your preferences. This setting allows you to detect divergences more accurately by selecting a greater number of candles.
The indicator allows displaying sessions based on various time zones. The user can select one of the following options :
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
Local Time of the Session
User’s Local Time
Show Open Price : Displays the New York market opening price.
Show PDH / PDL : Displays the previous day’s high and low to identify potential entry points.
Show SMT Divergence : Displays lines and labels for bullish ("+SMT") and bearish ("-SMT") divergences.
🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.

By overlaying higher timeframe candles on your current chart, this indicator allows you to easily identify key levels, trends, and potential reversal points across different timeframes without switching between multiple charts.
### 2. Power of Three Strategy
This indicator is invaluable for traders using the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Power of Three strategy, which focuses on accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases. The higher timeframe candles help identify these phases more accurately, allowing for better trade entries and exits:
- Accumulation: Identify periods of sideways price action on higher timeframes.
- Manipulation: Spot false breakouts or breakdowns on lower timeframes that are contained within higher timeframe ranges.
- Distribution: Recognize when price is approaching significant higher timeframe levels where smart money may begin to distribute.
### 3. Turtle Soup
Traders can use this indicator to spot potential Turtle Soup setups by identifying key breakout levels on higher timeframes and comparing them to current price action. This helps in:
- Identifying false breakouts that may lead to Turtle Soup trade opportunities.
- Confirming the validity of breakouts by comparing lower timeframe momentum to higher timeframe structure.
### 4. Candle Range Theory (CRT)
This indicator is extremely useful for traders applying Candle Range Theory. CRT focuses on the relationship between the current candle's range and the previous candle's range. By displaying higher timeframe candles, traders can:
- Easily compare candle ranges across multiple timeframes.
- Identify potential breakout or breakdown levels based on the previous HTF candle's range.
- Spot instances where the current lower timeframe price action is testing or breaking significant HTF candle ranges.
- Recognize potential reversal points where price reaches the extremes of higher timeframe candle ranges.
### 5. Support and Resistance
Higher timeframe candles often represent significant support and resistance levels. This indicator makes it easy to spot these levels and incorporate them into your trading decisions, allowing you to:
- Identify key support and resistance levels from higher timeframes.
- Anticipate potential price reactions at these levels on your current timeframe.
- Plan entries, exits, and stop-loss placement with greater precision.
### 6. Trend Identification
By displaying multiple HTF candles, traders can quickly assess the overall trend direction on higher timeframes, helping to align trades with the broader market direction:
- Easily visualize the trend on higher timeframes without changing your chart.
- Identify potential trend changes or continuations based on HTF candle patterns.
- Align your trades with the higher timeframe trend for potentially higher probability setups.
### 7. Enhanced Decision Making
The combination of current timeframe price action and higher timeframe context allows for more informed decision-making, potentially improving trade quality and risk management:
- Validate trade setups by ensuring they align with higher timeframe structure.
- Avoid low-probability trades that conflict with higher timeframe trends or key levels.
- Adjust position sizing based on the proximity to significant HTF levels.
### 8. Time Efficiency
Instead of constantly switching between timeframes, traders can view all necessary information on a single chart, streamlining their analysis process:
- Reduce the time spent switching between multiple charts.
- Quickly assess market conditions across various timeframes.
- Improve focus by having all relevant information in one view.
### 9. ICT Price Delivery (PD) Arrays
The HTF Multi Candles Display is particularly useful for traders familiar with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, especially in identifying Price Delivery (PD) arrays:
- Visualize potential PD arrays across multiple timeframes without switching charts.
- Identify key swing highs and lows that form PD array structures.
- Recognize patterns such as Breaker Blocks, Inefficient Price Points, and Fair Value Gaps more easily on higher timeframes.
- Spot potential areas where smart money might be accumulating or distributing by analyzing the relationship between HTF candles.
- Use the series of HTF candles to identify potential Order Blocks, which are often key components of PD arrays.
- Recognize Mitigation Points and Liquidity Voids more effectively by analyzing the structure of multiple HTF candles.
By displaying a series of HTF candles, this indicator allows traders to more easily identify and validate ICT concepts like PD arrays, enhancing their ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and potential market turning points.

Displacement Order Blocks ~ DOB [Liquidity_Pro]Displacement Order Blocks (DOB)
This indicator shows order blocks with displacement (FVG required) and leans heavily on ICT’s generous and insightful teachings to define midlines for FVG, IFVG, and order blocks. The market structure definitions follow TradingHub’s (TH) rules filtering out inside bars.
It offers alerts for price in order block, liquidity sweep, break of structure (BOS), change of character (CHoCH), and inducement (IDM).
The TH model was chosen because it's programmatic allowing clear structure definitions that allow us to mark inducements (S/O to @albatherium for publishing the first TH market structure indicator).
TH’s Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) rules have also been helpful in refining order block definition, for example in the Transfer case. ICT fans will see when back testing this, that it moves the focus closer to the FVG.
In developing this indicator, we've tried to offer great aesthetic flexibility, to keep the chart uncluttered and to avoid exceeding Trading View’s limitations on boxes and lines. It's also configured to work reasonably well on both light and dark background charts:
We hope this indicator can serve as a teaching tool for ICT’s price action insights and SMC market structure concepts. For this, we've included optional labels for various order block types:
I = inside bar. The bars that follow the order block have been ignored – you will see the number of ignored bars shown after a hyphen. The idea is that inside bars fall in the shadow of a more important candle and can’t be relied on for defining a trade.
S = standard case. The order block candle takes liquidity from the previous candle and is followed immediately after by an FVG on the next candle. This differs technically from the ICT “last down-close/last up-close” order block concept. In practice, this choice has very little impact on ICT trading, because the ICT trader is entering on the FVG anyway.
T = transfer case. This is an order block that has been transferred from the candle that takes liquidity to the candle just prior to the FVG. When you back test this, you will see it is a high probability choice.
TZ = tweezer. This is an option you can turn off that fills a hole in TH teachings. It bypasses the requirement for an order block to take liquidity from the previous candle in the case of equal h/ls. The result is that you will find 2 candle order blocks with equal highs and lows (also known as tweezer tops/bottoms) show on your chart. You will note that every tweezer is a wick on a higher timeframe.
W = wick. this is a big wick candle that we call an order block without requiring an FVG. The presumption is that the displacement is contained within the wick itself on a lower timeframe.
* Asterisk denotes an extreme order block.
Finally, we trade with this indicator (using it together with our Daye Quarterly Theory ~ DQT free indicator, taking trades when price reaches an extreme FVG or order block during a Q2 manipulation).
We will continue developing it along with other indicators we have not yet published. So please boost if you like this and follow us for updates. Also please let us know what new features you would like to see.
Opening Range Gap + Std Dev [starclique]The ICT Opening Range Gap is a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader and is discussed in the videos: 'One Trading Setup For Life' and 2023 ICT Mentorship - Opening Range Gap Repricing Macro
ORGs, or Opening Range Gaps, are gaps that form only on the Regular Trading Hours chart.
The Regular Trading Hours gap occurs between 16:15 PM - 9:29 AM EST (UTC-4)
These times are considered overnight trading, so it is useful to filter the PA (price action) formed there.
The RTH option is only available for futures contracts and continuous futures from CME Group.
To change your chart to RTH, first things first, make sure you’re looking at a futures contract for an asset class, then on the bottom right of your chart, you’ll see ETH (by default) - Click on that, and change it to RTH.
Now your charts are filtering the price action that happened overnight.
To draw out your gap, use the Close of the 4:14 PM candle and the open of the 9:30 AM candle.
How is this concept useful?
Well, It can be used in many ways.

How To Use The ORG
One of the ways you can use the opening range gap is simply as support and resistance
If we extend out the ORG from the example above, we can see that there is a clean retest of the opening range gap high after breaking structure to the upside and showing acceptance outside of the gap after consolidating within it.
The ORG High (4:14 Candle Close in this case) was used as support.
We then see an expansion to the upside.
Another way to implement the ORG is by using it as a draw on liquidity (magnet for price)
In this example, if we looked to the left, there was a huge ORG to the downside, leaving a massive gap.
The market will want to rebalance that gap during the regular trading hours.
The market rallies higher, rejects, comes down to clear the current days ORG low, then closes.
That is one example of how you can combine liquidity & ICT market structure concepts with Opening Range Gaps to create a story in the charts.
Now let’s discuss standard deviations.
---
Standard Deviations
Standard Deviations are essentially projection levels for ranges / POIs (Point of Interests)
By this I mean, if you have a range, and you would like to see where it could potentially expand to, you’d place your fibonacci retracement tool on and high and low of the range, then use extension levels to find specific price points where price might reject from.
Since 0 and 1 are your Range High and Low respectively, your projection levels would be something like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, for the extension from your 1 Fib Level, and -0.5, -1, -1.5, and -2 for your 0 Fib level.
The -1 and 2 level produce a 1:1 projection of your range low and high, meaning, if you expect price to expand as much as it did from the range low to range high, then you can project a -1 and 2 on your Fib, and it would show you what ICT calls “symmetrical price”
Now, how are standard deviations relevant here?
Well, if you’ve been paying attention to ICT’s recent videos, you would’ve caught that he’s recently started using Standard Deviation levels on breakers.
So my brain got going while watching his video on ORGs, and I decided to place the fib on the ORG high and low and see what it’d produce.
The results were very interesting.
Using this same example, if we place our fib on the ORG High and Low, and add some projection levels, we can see that we rejected right at the -2 Standard Deviation Level.
---
You can see that I also marked out the EQ (Equilibrium, 50%, 0.5 of Fib) of the ORG. This is because we can use this level as a take profit level if we’re using an old ORG as our draw.
In days like these, where the gap formed was within a consolidation, and it continued to consolidate within the ORG zone that we extended, we can use the EQ in the same way we’d use an EQ for a range.
If it’s showing acceptance above the EQ, we are bullish, and expect the high of the ORG to be tapped, and vice versa.
---
Using The Indicator
Here’s where our indicator comes in play.
To avoid having to do all this work of zooming in and marking out the close and open of the respective ORG candles, we created the Opening Range Gap + Standard Deviations Indicator, with the help of our dedicated Star Clique coder, a1tmaniac.
With the ORG + STD DEV indicator, you will be able to view ORG’s and their projections on the ETH (Electronic Trading Hours) chart.

Buyside & Sellside Liquidity [LuxAlgo]The Buyside & Sellside Liquidity indicator aims to detect & highlight the first and arguably most important concept within the ICT trading methodology, Liquidity levels.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Liquidity Levels
Detection Length: Lookback period
Margin: Sets margin/sensitivity for a liquidity level detection
🔹 Liquidity Zones
Buyside Liquidity Zones: Enables display of the buyside liquidity zones.
Margin: Sets margin/sensitivity for the liquidity zone boundaries.
Color: Color option for buyside liquidity levels & zones.
Sellside Liquidity Zones: Enables display of the sellside liquidity zones.
Margin: Sets margin/sensitivity for the liquidity zone boundaries.

🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last 500 bars and Historical assumes all data available to the user
# Visible Levels: Controls the amount of the liquidity levels/zones to be visualized.
🔶 USAGE
Definitions of Liquidity refer to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity mainly relates to stop losses or pending orders and liquidity level/pool, highlighting a concentration of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Smart money traders, such as banks and other large institutions, often target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
There are two types of liquidity; Buyside liquidity and Sellside liquidity .
Buyside liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned, and Sellside liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-biased traders will place their stops.
These areas often act as support or resistance levels and can provide trading opportunities.
When the liquidity levels are breached at which many stop/limit orders are placed have been traded through, the script will create a zone aiming to provide additional insight to figure out the odds of the next price action.
Reversal: It’s common that the price may reverse course and head in the opposite direction, seeking liquidity at the opposite extreme.
Continuation: When the zone is also broken it is a sign for continuation price action.
It's worth noting that ICT concepts are specific to the methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston and may not align with other trading approaches or strategies.
🔶 DETAILS
Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Liquidity level is detected/updated.
Liquidity level is breached.

Hopiplaka Goldbach System with SignalsThis tool builds a dynamic price framework around the current market using a PO3 range and a set of mathematically derived Goldbach levels. It then scores nearby levels for quality (reliability) and produces Buy/Sell signals only when multiple, independent factors line up (price level quality, trend/“Tesla Vortex” state, ICT AMD phase, time confluence, volume bias, and momentum). The goal is to identify high-confluence inflection points rather than constant signals.
Core Concepts & Why They’re Combined
1. PO3 Range Framework
Price is segmented into a primary range (lower → upper) determined by a configurable size (3× ladder: 3, 9, 27, …, 2187).
⦁ If price sits near a boundary (configurable sensitivity), the range can auto-expand to the next 3× size to better fit current volatility.
⦁ This gives a stable “map” of the active trading area and its boundaries.
2. Goldbach Levels (Pure Hopiplaka implementation)
For each even number ≤ your precision limit, the script evaluates all prime-sum partitions (Goldbach partitions) and converts their prime ratios into price levels inside the PO3 range.
⦁ Levels are classified as Premium / Standard / Discount based on properties of the prime pair and a mathematical weighting.
⦁ Strict minimum spacing rules (exact %, OB %, liquidity-void %) prevent clutter and keep only the most meaningful levels.
3. Tesla Vortex (trend/phase strength)
A volatility/trend-aware state machine estimates whether market is in MMxM (accumulation/mean-revert like) or TREND conditions and maps price interaction with high-quality levels to phases (e.g., Order Block Formation, Distribution).
⦁ This helps filter signals: buys favored in MMxM near supportive levels; sells favored in TREND near premium/liquidity levels, etc.
4. ICT Integration (AMD, IPDA bias hooks)
A lightweight AMD phase detector classifies the recent window into Accumulation / Manipulation / Distribution and marks market structure bias. This is used as confluence with level quality and trend state.
5. Time Confluence (Goldbach time)
Swing highs/lows are checked against Goldbach-valid timestamps (based on hour+minute sums decomposable into prime pairs). Repeated alignment adds time-bias confidence. When price and time align, level reliability is boosted.
6. Volume & Liquidity Context
A rolling volume baseline marks High/Low Volume Bias; levels can be volume-weighted (raising or lowering their reliability). Proximity to PO3 extremes flags pending liquidity sweeps.
Why this mashup?
The system blends price geometry (PO3 + Goldbach), state/trend (Tesla Vortex), market-microstructure (ICT AMD), time confluence, and volume/liquidity into one numerically scored signal. Each component answers a different question; together they reduce false positives and favor high-quality trades near meaningful levels.
What You’ll See on the Chart
⦁ PO3 Range Boundaries: two dashed lines (“lower” and “upper”). Auto-expand darkens the boundary style slightly.
⦁ Goldbach Levels: horizontal lines colored by classification and context:
⦁ Premium (strong premium band), Standard, Discount
⦁ OB (Order-Block candidate), LV (Liquidity Void)
⦁ TESLA node (trend/phase aligned)
⦁ Heavier width = higher reliability; dashed/dotted styles encode class differences.
⦁ PO3 Liquidity Boxes: narrow yellow shaded bands above/below each level (configurable pip distance).
⦁ Markers
⦁ ▲ Buy arrow below bar when a Buy signal triggers
⦁ ▼ Sell arrow above bar when a Sell signal triggers
⦁ ● Small dot when price touches a Goldbach level
⦁ Data-window plots:
⦁ Tesla Vortex Strength (numeric)
⦁ Time Bias (positive = bullish, negative = bearish)
⦁ Volume Bias (+1 high / −1 low)
⦁ Signal Strength (+ for buy / − for sell, zero when no signal)
⦁ Label Legend (on level tags)
⦁ TESLA – Tesla-aligned level node
⦁ OB – Order-block-quality zone
⦁ LV – Liquidity-void zone
⦁ Premium / Standard / Discount – Level class
⦁ Gxx – Even number used to build the level (Goldbach reference)
⦁ Reliability – Final score after time/volume/tesla weighting
⦁ Optional extras: Vol (relative volume weight), Time (time-confluence strength)
How Signals Are Generated
A signal is proposed when price comes within a minimum distance of a high-reliability level. It is then accepted only if enough of these independent checks pass (you control the required count):
1. Tesla Vortex state matches direction (e.g., MMxM with buy; TREND with sell).
2. ICT AMD phase aligns (Accumulation → buy bias; Distribution → sell bias).
3. Goldbach time bias supports the direction.
4. Volume bias supportive (high-volume context boosts conviction).
5. Level quality (TESLA node or Premium class) is high.
6. Momentum alignment (recent 2–3 bars in the same direction).
Only when confluence ≥ your threshold and confidence ≥ 0.5 (scaled by sensitivity) will a Buy/Sell arrow print. Cooldown prevents rapid repeats.
Inputs (key ones)
⦁ PO3 Settings: range size, auto-expansion toggle, expansion sensitivity, liquidity band distance.
⦁ Goldbach Mathematics: precision limit, exact spacing rules, spacing for OB/LV classes.
⦁ Trading Signals: master toggle, sensitivity, min reliability, confluence required, cooldown, min distance to level, markers on/off.
⦁ Tesla Vortex / ICT: enable Vortex, sensitivity; enable AMD/IPDA analysis and lookback.
⦁ Time & Volume: enable Goldbach time and weighting; volume lookback; liquidity-pool detection.
⦁ Display: show historical/future projections, number of future bars, labels, path/phase overlays.
⦁ Colors: full palette per class/context (premium/discount/OB/LV/Tesla/time/volume, buy/sell/goldbach hit).
Alerts Included
⦁ Signals: “BUY Signal Generated”, “SELL Signal Generated”
⦁ Level Interactions: “Goldbach Level Hit”; “Near Goldbach Level”; “Tesla Vortex Node”; “Premium Level Alert”
⦁ PO3: “PO3 Upper Break”, “PO3 Lower Break”, “PO3 Range Expansion”
⦁ State Changes: “Tesla Vortex Phase Change”
⦁ Context: “Liquidity Sweep Imminent”, “Strong Time Confluence”
You can wire these to webhooks or notifications.
Suggested Workflow
1. Choose PO3 size that matches your instrument’s volatility; keep Auto-Expansion ON initially.
2. Set confluence threshold (start at 3–4) and cooldown (e.g., 10 bars).
3. Keep Time and Volume modules ON for additional reliability weighting.
4. Use arrows as filters, not blind entries—confirm with your execution plan and risk rules.
5. Prefer signals near Premium/Discount TESLA nodes that also show time confluence and supportive volume.
Practical Notes & Limitations
⦁ The mathematical framework is deterministic, but market execution is not—always manage risk.
⦁ Future projections and heavy labeling can be resource-intensive; tune visibility if performance drops.
⦁ If a market is extremely illiquid or gap-prone, spacing/filters may hide many levels (by design).

Rapid ICT Suite - MTF Concepts & iFVGTitle: Rapid ICT Suite - MTF Concepts & iFVG
Overview
Unlock a new level of market analysis with the Rapid ICT Suite, a comprehensive, all-in-one indicator designed for the discerning price action trader. This powerful tool merges two distinct analytical engines into one seamless experience, allowing you to overlay critical Higher Timeframe (HTF) market structure onto your current chart while simultaneously tracking real-time Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their inversions (iFVGs).
Whether you are a scalper needing to respect 1H structure, a day trader aligning with the 4H bias, or a swing trader mapping the daily trend, this indicator provides the clarity and context you need to make higher-probability trading decisions. It was built from the ground up to solve common issues traders face, delivering stable, precise, and flexible analysis.
The Strategy: Targeting IRL with iFVG Entries
The Destination (The "Why"): Internal Range Liquidity (IRL)
On a Higher Timeframe (HTF), we will identify major Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) zones. In the context of ICT, IRL simply refers to unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that exist within a broader trading range.
These HTF FVGs act as powerful magnets for price. The market will often seek out these zones to rebalance before continuing its next major move. By plotting these on our chart, we establish a clear directional bias and a high-probability target. Our indicator will now label these HTF FVG boxes as "IRL".
The Entry Signal (The "How"): Inverted Fair Value Gaps (iFVG)
Once we have our HTF IRL target, we drop down to our Lower Timeframe (LTF) for execution.
We wait for price to create an Inverted Fair Value Gap (iFVG). An iFVG is a regular FVG that has failed and been traded through, signifying a shift in momentum.
An iFVG appearing on the LTF provides a high-precision entry signal to take a trade in the direction of the HTF IRL zone. It's our confirmation that the market is likely now making its move towards that destination.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks (Boxes): Automatically identify and plot key HTF demand and supply zones (Order Blocks) onto your chart.
Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (Boxes): See where HTF imbalances exist, giving you a clear map of institutional reference points and potential targets.
Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Pools (Boxes): Pinpoint where buy-side and sell-side liquidity is likely resting, based on clusters of old highs and lows.
Current Timeframe FVG & iFVG (Lines/Labels): A second, independent engine tracks FVGs on your chosen timeframe, monitors them for mitigation, and automatically identifies when an FVG has been inverted (iFVG), a crucial shift in market dynamics.
The "Rapid" Advantage: Solving Trader Frustrations
This indicator was engineered to overcome three of the most common problems with technical indicators:
1. ✅ No More Flickering or "Ghost" Signals
The Problem: Many indicators show signals on the live, forming candle. This causes zones or signals to appear and disappear ("flicker"), leading to confusion and false entries.
The Solution: The Rapid ICT Suite uses 100% confirmed, closed-candle data for all its calculations (OB, FVG, and Liquidity). A zone will only appear on your chart after the price action that confirms it is complete. This means every signal is stable, reliable, and non-repainting.
2. ✅ Frame-Perfect, Precise Placement
The Problem: Indicators that use lookback logic often draw their signals one candle too late, causing a visual disconnect between the price pattern and the signal itself.
The Solution: We have corrected this common flaw. Every box and line is drawn starting from the exact confirmation candle of the pattern. This frame-perfect precision is critical for accurate analysis and planning your entries.
3. ✅ The Dual Analysis Engine: Uncluttered & Flexible
The Problem: Trying to analyze multiple timeframes at once can lead to cluttered charts and mental overload .
The Solution: This suite contains two independent parts that you can control separately.
Part 1 gives you the macro context—the HTF structure where big moves originate.
Part 2 gives you the micro details—the real-time FVG and iFVG story on your trading timeframe.
Use them together for a complete picture, or toggle one off to focus on a specific aspect of your strategy. This flexibility keeps your workspace clean and your analysis sharp.
How to Use & Settings Explained
The indicator settings are neatly organized into two main parts.
Part 1: MTF Concepts (OB, FVG, Liq)
This section controls the Higher Timeframe boxes that are overlaid onto your current chart.
Higher-TF for OB/FVG/Liq: This is the most important setting. Select the higher timeframe you want to analyze. For example, if you are trading on the 15-minute chart, you might set this to 240 (4-Hour) to see the key 4H zones.
Show Order-Blocks / FVGs / Liquidity: Simple toggles to turn each type of HTF zone on or off.
Max... Count: Controls how many of the most recent zones are displayed on the chart, preventing clutter from old, irrelevant zones.
Part 2: FVG & iFVG (Lines/Labels)
This section controls the second engine, which analyzes FVGs and iFVGs on its own selected timeframe.
Timeframe for FVG/iFVG: Choose the timeframe for this analysis. You can leave it blank to use your current chart's timeframe, or set it to a specific one.
Mitigation Type & Mitigation %: A powerful feature to define when an FVG is considered "used up."
Type: Choose if mitigation is counted from the candle's Wick or Close.
Percent: Set how far price must retrace into an FVG (e.g., 50%) before it is considered mitigated and the lines are removed from your chart.
FVG/iFVG Count: Controls how many of the most recent FVG/iFVG zones are displayed.
Style & Color Settings: Fully customize the appearance of the lines and labels to match your chart theme.
Final Words
This indicator was built to provide actionable clarity. By understanding the interplay between higher-timeframe structure and current price action, you can significantly enhance your trading edge. Thank you for choosing the Rapid ICT Suite.
Happy trading!
CandelaCharts - Unicorn Model📝 Overview
The Unicorn Model is an advanced indicator that pinpoints high-probability reversal setups based on the ICT Unicorn formation. It uses a zigzag-based structure to detect engineered liquidity grabs followed by sharp displacements in the opposite direction—ideal for fade entries or the start of new trends.
The indicator is enhanced with macro time filters, allowing it to align model detections with key trading sessions and institutional flow windows.
The ICT Unicorn Model is a precision-driven intraday strategy rooted in smart money concepts. It combines time-of-day sensitivity, engineered liquidity runs, and institutional order flow to uncover high-quality trading opportunities.
📦 Features
Liquidity Levels: Projects forward-looking liquidity zones after a Unicorn model is confirmed, highlighting potential price targets. These zones act as magnet areas where price is likely to be drawn, helping traders manage exits, partials, and re-entries with greater precision.
Unicorn: The Unicorn formation utilizes a smart money framework and a dynamic zigzag detection method to identify engineered liquidity grabs—sharp sweeps of previous highs or lows—followed by impulsive reversals.
Macros: These time-based intervals represent key moments when institutional algorithms are most active, seeking liquidity, rebalancing, or delivering price to key levels like fair value gaps and liquidity pools.
Custom TF Pairing: Choose your preferred combination of entry timeframe and context timeframe. For example, trade 5m setups within a 1h HTF bias, allowing precise alignment of microstructure with broader directional intent.
HTF & LTF PD Arrays: Displays high- and low-timeframe PD Arrays (e.g., Fair Value Gaps, Inversion Fair Value Gaps) that act as zones of interest or rejection, enhancing confluence and risk control.
History: Backtest previous Unicorn setups directly on the chart. Toggle historical models to analyze past behavior, improve your confidence, and fine-tune your trade execution across varying market regimes.
Killzone Filter: Restrict signal generation to specific trading sessions or killzones (e.g., London Open, New York AM). This minimizes false positives in low-volume or overlapping ranges.
Standard Deviation: Dynamically calculates and plots four deviation bands from the model confirmation point. These levels offer insight into stretch targets, volatility bands, and potential mean-reversion zones.
Dashboard: A real-time control panel showing the active model, HTF candle timer, current directional bias, asset name, and session date—offering clarity and fast decision-making at a glance.

Power Of 3 ICT 01 [TradingFinder] AMD ICT & SMC Accumulations🔵 Introduction
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) strategy, developed by Michael J. Huddleston, known as the Inner Circle Trader, is a structured approach to analyzing daily market activity. This strategy divides the trading day into three distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Each phase represents a unique market behavior influenced by institutional traders, offering a clear framework for retail traders to align their strategies with market movements.
Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST) takes place during low-volatility hours, as institutional traders accumulate orders. Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST) involves false breakouts and liquidity traps designed to mislead retail traders. Finally, Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST) represents the active phase where significant market movements occur as institutions distribute their positions in line with the broader trend.
This indicator is built upon the Power of 3 principles to provide traders with a practical and visual tool for identifying these key phases. By using clear color coding and precise time zones, the indicator highlights critical price levels, such as highs and lows, helping traders to better understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Incorporating the ICT AMD setup into daily analysis enables traders to anticipate market behavior, spot high-probability trade setups, and gain deeper insights into institutional trading strategies. With its focus on time-based price action, this indicator simplifies complex market structures, offering an effective tool for traders of all levels.
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) indicator is designed to help traders analyze daily market movements by visually identifying the three key phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Here's how traders can effectively use the indicator :
🟣 Accumulation Phase (19:00 - 01:00 EST)
Purpose : Identify the range-bound activity where institutional players accumulate orders.
Trading Insight : Avoid placing trades during this phase, as price movements are typically limited. Instead, use this time to prepare for the potential direction of the market in the next phases.
🟣 Manipulation Phase (01:00 - 07:00 EST)
Purpose : Spot false breakouts and liquidity traps that mislead retail traders.
Trading Insight : Observe the market for price spikes beyond key support or resistance levels. These moves often reverse quickly, offering high-probability entry points in the opposite direction of the initial breakout.
🟣 Distribution Phase (07:00 - 13:00 EST)
Purpose : Detect the main price movement of the day, driven by institutional distribution.
Trading Insight : Enter trades in the direction of the trend established during this phase. Look for confirmations such as breakouts or strong directional moves that align with broader market sentiment
🔵 Settings

Fractal Consolidations [Pro+]Introduction:
Fractal Consolidations Pro+ pushes the boundaries of Algorithmic Price Delivery Analysis. Tailored for traders seeking precision and efficiency to unlock hidden insights, this tool empowers you to dissect market Consolidations on your terms, live, in all asset classes.
What is a Fractal Consolidation?
Consolidations occur when price is trading in a range. Normally, Consolidation scripts use a static number of "lookback candles", checking whether price is continuously trading inside the highest and lowest price points of said Time window.
After years spent studying price action and numerous programming attempts, this tool succeeds in veering away from the lookback candle approach. This Consolidation script harnesses the delivery mechanisms and Time principles of the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) to define Fractal Consolidations – solely based on a Timeframe Input used for context.
Description:
This concept was engineered around price delivery principles taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT). As per ICT, it's integral for an Analyst to understand the four phases of price delivery: Consolidation , Expansion , Retracement , and Reversal .
According to ICT, any market movement originates from a Consolidation, followed by an Expansion .
When Consolidation ranges begin to break and resting liquidity is available, cleaner Expansions will take place. This tool's value is to visually aid Analysts and save Time in finding Consolidations in live market conditions, to take advantage of Expansion moves.

Fractal Consolidations Pro+ doesn't only assist in confirming Higher Timeframe trend continuations and exposing opportunities on Lower Timeframes. It's also designed for both advanced traders and new traders to save Time and energy in navigating choppy or rangebound environments.
CME_MINI:ES1! 30 Minute Consolidation forming Live, on the 5 Minute Chart:
By analyzing past price action, traders will find algorithmic signatures when Consolidations are taking place, therefore providing a clearer view of where and when price is likely to contract, continue consolidating, breakout, retrace, or reverse. A prominent signature to consider when using this script is ICT's Market Maker Buy/Sell Models. These signatures revolve around the engineering of Consolidations to manipulate price in a specific direction, to then reverse at the appropriate Time. Each stage of the Market Maker Model can be identified and taken advantage of using Fractal Consolidations.

Daye Quarterly Theory ~ DQT [Liquidity_Pro]Thanks
This indicator puts the time-based research of trader Daye on your chart. Daye studied the ICT killzones and macro times and presented his findings, as “Quarterly Theory” on YouTube. Thank you Daye for sharing!
This indicator is not the first, so S/O to @toodegrees, @a1tmaniac and @joshuuu for their own excellent Quarterly Theory indicators. Last but not least, huge thanks go to ICT for his trading innovation and generous free price action education and to @twingall for his insight, attention to detail and great teamwork coding this indicator.
Daye’s Quarterly Theory
First, the fundamental concept is that all units of time can be divided by four into quarters -- just as we look at the year’s corporate reporting cycle of Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.
Dividing the day by four, into six hour quarters and again into 90 minute quarters and again into 22.5 minute ‘Micro’ quarters we reach the smallest unit shown by this indicator. Apply it to your NQ1! or ES1! charts and you may see remarkable confluence with the ICT macro times!
Why would we want to do this? It helps us understand, visualize and predict ICT’s PO3 concept:
• A - Accumulation (required for a cycle to occur)
• M - Manipulation
• D - Distribution
• X - Reversal/Continuation
The bottom line - we want to sell after a manipulation (M) up, or buy after a manipulation down and Quarterly Theory plots times on your chart where this may occur. Every asset is different, so back-test and research it.
Note, this indicator always shows Q1 as the accumulation quarter (by color), but the order is not fixed and instead of AMDX may appear as XAMD, where Q1 is the Reversal/Continuation quarter. We may eventually offer an update to this indicator which would automatically transpose the quarter colors for you.
The Quarters
Yearly:
• Q1 - Jan, Feb, Mar
• Q2 - Apr, May, Jun
• Q3 - Jul, Aug, Sep

About the DQT Indicator
This indicator plots the quarterly time boxes in a panel which can be placed above or below your chart. It allows you to add labels with the opening time and dates and also place time of day markers which can be useful for anyone who wants to mark lunch, and of the trading day or perhaps a favorite ICT macro time. It also works on GOLD (CAPITALCOM), DXY (TVC), currencies and stocks in Regular Trading Hour (RTH) mode.
Note the way that the indicator displays quarters is affected by the time frame you are viewing and as a result you may notice imperfections. Also, the indicator is not tuned to work with every broker, so for example with DXY, you will see the TVC feed is displayed nicely but other feeds are not.
Settings
The DQT indicator offers a great deal of flexibility to customize the display of quarters aesthetically. But it’s designed to work out-of-the-box on both light and dark background charts. It's set up to only show 90 minute and micro quarters initially, but in the settings, you can turn on the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly quarters. Remember you will only see the Micros on the 7 minute TF or lower.
Lastly, the DQT indicator works well with our DOB indicator allowing you to visualize the confluence of high timeframe PDAs or POIs with manipulation quarters.
If you find our indicators useful, please boost, comment and share -- it's very motivational for us to develop them further and publish new ones!

Muzyorae - ICT Quarterly Theory (Intraday)ICT Quarterly Theory — Intraday
What it is
ICT’s Quarterly Theory models the intraday session as repeating cycles of four “quarters.” On NY time, a trading day is split into four macro quarters of 6 hours each:
Q1: 00:00–06:00 NY (Asia / pre-London)
Q2: 06:00–12:00 NY (London–NY overlap, AM session)
Q3: 12:00–18:00 NY (Midday / PM session)
Q4: 18:00–24:00 NY (Asia re-open / late session)
Each macro quarter can be further subdivided into micro quarters of 90 minutes (q1–q4). This fractal view helps traders frame accumulation → expansion → distribution → liquidation phases and align executions with time-of-day liquidity.
Why it matters
Orderflow, liquidity raids, and displacement are highly time-dependent. Marking the quarters makes it easier to:
Anticipate when the market is likely to deliver the day’s expansion (often Q2) versus retracement/distribution (often Q3) or late liquidity runs (often Q4).
Compare today’s behavior to prior days within the same quarter windows.
Anchor bias, entries, and risk management to session-specific highs/lows rather than arbitrary clock times.
What this indicator shows
Macro quarters (6h): Vertical lines and optional labels (Q1–Q4) on NY time.
Micro quarters (90m): Optional finer verticals inside each macro quarter (q1–q4) for precise timing.
True Open (Q2 AM): Optional line at the AM session’s true open (default 06:00 NY) to study premium/discount development from the intraday benchmark.
Futures Sunday handling: Optional treatment of Sunday 18:00 NY as Q4 (useful for FX/futures).
Label controls: Choose above/below placement, offset, size, and colors; micro labels can be toggled independently.
Performance-friendly: De-duplicated labels and a look-back “days to show” setting keep charts clean.
How to use
Timeframe: Works on intraday charts (1–60m). 5–15m is a common balance of signal vs. noise.
Bias framing:
Map Asia (Q1), AM expansion (Q2), midday distribution (Q3), late session runs (Q4).
Compare where the daily range forms versus the True Open to gauge premium/discount and likely continuations.
Execution: Look for standard ICT tools (liquidity sweeps, FVGs, displacement, PD arrays) inside the active quarter to avoid fighting time-of-day flow.
Review: Scroll back multiple days and evaluate where the day’s high/low typically forms relative to Q2–Q3; adapt expectations.

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.

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

Contrarian 100 MAPairs nicely with Enhanced-Stock-Ticker-with-50MA-vs-200MA located here:
Description
The Contrarian 100 MA is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders seeking to identify key market structure shifts and trend reversals using a combination of a 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) envelope and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) logic. By overlaying a semi-transparent SMA-based shadow on the price chart and plotting bullish and bearish structure signals, this indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and potential trend changes. It leverages higher timeframe (HTF) pivot points and dynamic logic to adapt to various chart timeframes, making it ideal for swing and contrarian trading strategies. Customizable colors, timeframes, and alert conditions enhance its versatility for manual and automated trading setups.
Key Features
SMA Envelope: Plots a 100-period SMA for high and low prices, creating a semi-transparent (50% opacity) purple shadow to highlight the price range and provide context for price movements.
ICT BoS/MSS Logic: Identifies Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals for both bullish and bearish conditions, based on HTF pivot points.
Dynamic Timeframe Support: Adjusts pivot detection based on user-selected HTF (default: 1D) and chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D), ensuring adaptability across markets.
Visual Signals: Draws dotted lines for BoS (bullish/bearish) and MSS (bullish/bearish) signals at pivot levels, with customizable colors for easy identification.
Contrarian Approach: Signals potential reversals by combining SMA context with ICT structure breaks, ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend shifts.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals, enabling integration with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Performance Optimization: Uses efficient pivot detection and line management to minimize resource usage while maintaining accuracy.
Technical Details
SMA Calculation:
Computes 100-period SMAs for high (smaHigh) and low (smaLow) prices.
Plots invisible SMAs (fully transparent) and fills the area between them with 50% transparent purple for visual context.
Pivot Detection:
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify HTF swing points, with dynamic lookback periods (rlBars: 5 for daily, 2 for intraday).
Tracks pivot highs (pH, nPh) and lows (pL, nPl) using a custom piv type for price and time.
BoS/MSS Logic:
Bullish BoS: Triggered when price breaks above a pivot high in a bullish trend, drawing a line at the pivot level.
Bearish BoS: Triggered when price breaks below a pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot high in a bearish trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Bearish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot low in a bullish trend.
Lines are drawn using line.new with xloc.bar_time for precise alignment, styled as dotted with customizable colors.
HTF Integration: Fetches HTF close prices and pivot data using request.security with lookahead_on for accurate signal timing.
Line Management: Maintains an array of lines (lin), removing outdated lines when new MSS signals occur to keep the chart clean.
Pivot Reset: Clears broken pivots (e.g., when price exceeds a pivot high or falls below a pivot low) to ensure fresh signal generation.

📒 Usage
How to Use the ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap in Trading
To apply the ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap (FVG), identify the first fair value gap of the day and extend it across the chart until 3:45 PM New York time.
You’ll often notice that some of the best trade setups form around this level. It tends to act as a key reference point for price action during the day—especially on trending days, where price frequently returns to this gap before continuing in its direction.
This level can also serve as an inverse fair value gap, offering opportunities in the opposite direction under the right conditions.
How to Disqualify the 1st Presented Fair Value Gap?
When the first fair value gap forms after 9:30 AM New York time, check the candles that came just before it.
If the candlestick that creates the FVG doesn’t break above or below the range of those previous candles, then it’s not a true inefficiency. In that case, it’s considered a disqualified 1st Presented Fair Value Gap—meaning it shouldn’t be used as a key reference level.
Refer to the example below to see what this looks like on the chart.
🚨 Alerts
This script provides alert options for all signals.
Bearish Signal
A bearish signal is triggered when the bearish 1st P.FVG is formed in interval 09:30 - 10:00.
Bullish Signal
A bullish signal is triggered when the bullish 1st P.FVG is formed in interval 09:30 - 10:00.
