ICT First Presented FVG with Volume Imbalance [1st P. FVG + VI]The indicator identifies and highlights the first presented Fair Value Gap (FVG) occurringthe morning (09:30–10:00) and afternoon (13:30–14:00) session's first 30 minutes. It includes an optional feature to extend FVG zones when a volume imbalance (V.I.) is detected, providing additional context for areas of potential price inefficiency. This powerful combination helps traders identify significant market structure gaps that often act as support/resistance zones and potential price targets.
What is an FVG?
A Fair Value Gap, often abbreviated as FVG, is a price range on a chart where there is an inefficiency or imbalance in trading. This typically happens when price moves rapidly in one direction, leaving a gap between the wicks or bodies of three consecutive candles. For example, in a bullish move, if the low of the third candle is higher than the high of the first candle, the space between them is the FVG.
What is a Volume Imbalance?
A volume imbalance is a smaller, more precise inefficiency within price action, often visible as a "crack" or thin area in the price delivery. It represents a spot where the volume traded was not balanced between buyers and sellers, often seen as a thin wick or a gap between candle bodies.
FVG + Volume Imbalance:
When you have a fair value gap that contains a volume imbalance, it becomes a more significant area of interest. ICT teaches that you should not ignore a volume imbalance if it’s part of an FVG. In fact, you should use the volume imbalance in conjunction with the FVG to define your trading range more accurately

ICT PDA - Gold & BTC (QuickScalp Bias/FVG/OB/OTE + Alerts)What this script does
This indicator implements a complete ICT Price Delivery Algorithm (PDA) workflow tailored for XAUUSD and BTCUSD. It combines HTF bias, OTE zones, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, micro-BOS confirmation, and liquidity references into a single, cohesive tool with early and final alerts. The script is not a mashup for cosmetic plotting; each component feeds the next decision step.
Why this is original/useful
Symbol-aware impulse filter: A dynamic displacement threshold kTune adapts to Gold/BTC volatility (body/ATR vs. per-symbol factor), reducing noise on fast markets without hiding signals.
Scalping preset: “Quick Clean” mode limits drawings to the most recent bars and keeps only the latest FVG/OB zones for a clear chart.
Three display modes: Full, Clean, and Signals-Only to match analysis vs. execution.
Actionable alerts: Early heads-up when price enters OTE in the HTF bias direction, and Final alerts once mitigation + micro-break confirm the setup.
How it works (high-level logic)
HTF Bias: Uses request.security() on a user-selected timeframe (e.g., 240m) and EMA filter. Bias = close above/below HTF EMA.
Dealing Range & OTE: Recent swing high/low (pivot length configurable) define the range; OTE (62–79%) boxes are drawn contextually for up/down ranges.
Displacement: A candle’s body/ATR must exceed kTune and break short-term structure (displacement up/down).
FVG: 3-bar imbalance (bull: low > high ; bear: high < low ). Latest gaps are tracked and extended.
Order Blocks: Last opposite candle prior to a qualifying displacement that breaks recent highs/lows; zones are drawn and extended.
Entry & Alerts:
Long: Bullish bias + price inside buy-OTE + mitigation of a bullish FVG or OB + micro BOS up → “PDA Long (Final)”.
Short: Bearish bias + price inside sell-OTE + mitigation of a bearish FVG or OB + micro BOS down → “PDA Short (Final)”.
Early Alerts: Trigger as soon as price enters OTE in the direction of the active bias.
Inputs & controls (key ones)
Bias (HTF): timeframe minutes, EMA length.
Structure: ATR length, Impulse Threshold (Body/ATR), swing pivot length, OB look-back.
OTE/FVG/OB/LP toggles: show/hide components.
Auto-Tune: per-symbol factors for Gold/BTC + manual tweak.
Display/Performance: View Mode, keep-N latest FVG/OB, limit drawings to last N bars.
Recommended usage (scalping)
Timeframes: Execute on M1–M5 with HTF bias from 120–240m.
Defaults (starting point): ATR=14, Impulse Threshold≈1.6; Gold factor≈1.05, BTC factor≈0.90; Keep FVG/OB=2; last 200–300 bars; View Mode=Clean.
Workflow: Wait for OTE in bias direction → see mitigation (FVG/OB) → confirm with micro BOS → manage risk to nearest liquidity (prev-day H/L or recent swing).
Alerts available
“PDA Early Long/Short”
“PDA Long (Final)” / “PDA Short (Final)”
Attach alerts on “Any alert() function call” or the listed conditions.

Apparently I need to write more here.
ICT + SMT Liquidity & FVG Template v6 MNQ1/MES1Marking out ict concepts on mnq and marking smt divergences with mes
ICT Sweeps + FVG🔹 What is an iFVG?
• FVG → imbalance left by displacement (big move).
• iFVG (Inversion FVG) → when price returns to that gap later and flips it:
• Bullish FVG (support) → broken → becomes resistance = bearish iFVG.
• Bearish FVG (resistance) → broken → becomes support = bullish iFVG.
That’s why ICT often says “FVG becomes inversion when violated”.
⸻
🔹 Why You Don’t See FVG/iFVG Now
• The script you’re using only coded sweeps (BSS/SSL).
• It didn’t include the logic to:
1. Detect displacement candles.
2. Mark the FVG zone.
3. Flip it if price trades through → iFVG.
ICT Fair Value Gap (FVG) DetectorFair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
Purpose: Highlights price gaps between three consecutive candles, which signal areas of imbalance that may later act as support or resistance.
How It Works: The script looks for a gap between the high of two bars ago and the low of the current bar (bullish FVG) or the low of two bars ago and the high of the current bar (bearish FVG).
Visuals: These gaps are marked as transparent boxes on the chart, extended to the right until they are "filled" or mitigated by price returning into the gap.
Customization: You can adjust which gaps show, their colors, thresholds, and other display options.
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVGWant me to fill that box? Here’s a ready‑to‑paste description for your publish screen:
⸻
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVG (Crypto‑friendly)
A clean Smart Money Concepts tool that marks Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Shift (MSS), Order Blocks (OB), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with bold, easy‑to‑see visuals. Built for crypto but works on any market and timeframe.
What it does
• BOS & MSS detection with optional body/wick logic
• Order Blocks: auto‑draws the last opposite candle before a BOS, keeps only the most recent N, and fades when mitigated
• FVGs: 3‑candle gaps with a minimum size filter and a cap on how many to keep
• HTF Swings (optional): plots higher‑timeframe pivot highs/lows for top‑down context
• Alerts for BOS/MSS and FVG formation
Inputs
• Swing pivot length (default 3): sensitivity for structure pivots
• Use candle bodies for breaks: close vs level (on) or wicks (off)
• Show BOS/MSS labels, Show FVG, Show Order Blocks
• Min FVG size (ticks) and Max boxes to keep for FVG/OB
• OB uses candle body: body range vs full wick range
• Show higher timeframe swings + HTF timeframe
• Bullish/Bearish colors
How it works
• BOS triggers when price breaks the last opposite swing.
• MSS flags when the break flips the prior bias.
• OB is the most recent opposite candle prior to BOS; it’s marked and later greyed out once price closes through it (mitigation).
• FVG is detected when candle 1’s high < candle 3’s low (bear) or candle 1’s low > candle 3’s high (bull).
Alerts included
• BOS Up / BOS Down
• MSS Up / MSS Down
• FVG Up / FVG Down
Tips
• Start on 15m/1h for crypto, pivot length 3–5.
• Turn Use candle bodies ON for stricter confirmations, OFF for more signals.
• If boxes look cluttered, lower “Max boxes to keep.”
Note: This is a visual/educational tool, not financial advice. Always confirm with your own plan and risk management.
ICT/SMC Liquidity Map V3 KyroowThe indicator is designed to map liquidity on the chart following the ICT/SMC logic, with the added feature of precise tracking of the Asian session.
It shows you:
PDH / PDL → Previous Day High & Low, automatically removed once taken out.
EQH / EQL → Equal Highs & Equal Lows (double tops/bottoms), with pip tolerance and a check to ensure no candle has already "cleared" the range.
ASH / ASL → Asian Session High & Low (the highs/lows of each closed Asian session).
Asian Session → Displayed as a box or shaded area, with visual history.
Dynamic tolerance management → EQH/EQL can have different tolerances depending on the timeframe.
Automatic removal → Levels are removed once the market takes them (via wick or body, configurable).
💡 In practice:
It helps you quickly identify likely liquidity grab zones, whether they come from the previous day, the Asian session, or equal highs/lows. This allows you to anticipate market reactions around these levels.

ICT Kill Zone & SNR Tool## Features
- **Auto-Draws Key Price Lines:**\
Plots the close price line for both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF) of your choice. The HTF close line helps you identify major support/resistance (SNR) areas from higher timeframe structure. All lines are managed automatically to keep the chart clear.
- **Kill Zone Session Markers:**\
Automatically highlights four key Kill Zone trading sessions (London, New York, London Close, Asia) according to ICT concepts. Kill Zone time windows are adjusted for your chart's timezone, with colored horizontal lines and center labels. If any major economic event overlaps with a Kill Zone, a 🔥 icon will be added to its label.
- **Real-Time Economic Calendar Integration:**\
Integrates TradingView's EconomicCalendar library to display major macroeconomic events (FOMC, CPI, PPI, NFP, etc.) directly on your chart. Events are matched to each bar in real time and checked for overlap with Kill Zone periods.
## How to Use
1. **Enable/Disable Elements:**\
Use the settings panel to turn on/off the close price lines for the current and higher timeframe, and adjust color/width as needed.
2. **Select HTF (Higher Timeframe):**\
Choose the desired higher timeframe (such as 1H, 4H, D). The HTF close line updates only when its value changes.
3. **Configure Kill Zones:**
- Toggle Kill Zone markers and select line style (solid, dashed, dotted).
- Set custom names for each session if needed.
- All time calculations are auto-adjusted for your chart's timezone.
4. **Economic Events:**
- Select which event types (FOMC, CPI, NFP, etc.) you want to show.
- When a Kill Zone period contains an economic event, a 🔥 icon is shown in the label for extra caution.
- Hidden event icons are also plotted on bars for backtesting reference.
5. **Chart Clarity:**\
The script automatically limits the number of lines/labels plotted to keep the chart clear and readable.
## How it Works
- **Close Line Drawing:**\
Draws a line from the previous close to the current close for each bar; HTF line only updates when the HTF close changes.
- **Kill Zone Detection:**\
Converts NY Kill Zone session times to your local timezone. For each session, detects entry/exit, draws a colored horizontal line and a centered label.
- **Economic Event Overlay:**\
Checks all selected economic events and overlays a 🔥 to session labels if they overlap; optionally plots an icon on the event bar.

(ICT)Liquidity Grab + FVG + MSS/BOSThis script is a comprehensive educational indicator that combines and enhances several well-known trading concepts:
Liquidity Grabs (Swing Failure Patterns)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Market Structure Shifts / Break of Structure (MSS/BOS)
Alerts
It identifies potential bullish and bearish liquidity grabs, confirms them optionally using volume validation on a lower timeframe, and tracks subsequent price structure changes. The indicator visually marks key swing highs/lows, FVG zones, and BOS/MSS levels—allowing traders to observe how price reacts to liquidity and imbalance zones.
🔍 Features:
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP):
Highlights possible liquidity grabs based on recent highs/lows and candle structure.
Volume Validation (Optional):
Filter signals using relative volume outside the swing on a lower timeframe. Adjustable threshold.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Detects imbalance gaps and extends them for easy visualization.
Market Structure (MSS/BOS):
Displays Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) based on pivot highs/lows and closing conditions.
Dashboard:
A compact info panel displaying lower timeframe settings and validation status.
Custom Styling:
Adjustable colors, line styles, and label visibility for clean charting.
🧠 Ideal For:
Traders studying ICT concepts, smart money theories, and price-action-based strategies who want a visual tool for analysis and backtesting.
How to Use:
Wait for a Liquidity Grab (SFP) to form
The first condition for a potential entry is the formation of a Stop Hunt / Swing Failure Pattern (SFP).
This indicates that liquidity has been taken above or below a key level (e.g., previous high/low), and the market may be ready to reverse.
Confirmation with Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Market Structure Shift (MSS)
After the SFP, do not enter immediately. Wait for confirmation:
FVG : A Fair Value Gap (an imbalance in price action) must appear, signaling potential institutional activity.
MSS : A Market Structure Shift (break in the current trend) confirms a possible trend reversal or strong corrective move.
Enter the trade
Once both the FVG and MSS are confirmed after the SFP, you can safely enter a trade in the direction of the shift.
Alert Feature
The indicator includes an alert system to notify you when all conditions are met (SFP + FVG + MSS), so you can react quickly without constantly watching the chart.

Asia BSL/SSL Highlight
ICT Balanced Price Range - Double FVG with VolumeThis is an FVG indicator combined with volume to identify moments when a sudden volume spike creates a price gap.
Additionally, I've added the ICT Balanced Price Range, which occurs when two opposing FVGs form a connected gap. This gap has a high probability of reversal and is one of the key signs of liquidity sweeps.
Unlike other FVG indicators that filter FVGs based on ATR, average price, or range, I believe such methods lead to overfitting and may not work across multiple pairs with a single setting. Instead, I only filter FVGs when there are consecutive overlapping FVGs.
The indicator includes full functionality:
Candle color customization
FVG line color customization
FVG fill color customization
BPR color customization
Adjustable average volume and volume threshold
Highlighting candles with abnormal volume
Enjoy and make sure to backtest thoroughly before using!
ICT Concepts: MML, Order Blocks, FVG, OTECore ICT Trading Concepts
These strategies are designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing institutional order flow and market psychology.
1. Market Maker Liquidity (MML) / Liquidity Pools
Idea: Institutional traders ("market makers") place orders around key price levels where retail traders’ stop losses cluster (e.g., above swing highs or below swing lows).
Application: Look for "liquidity grabs" where price briefly spikes to these levels before reversing.
Example: If price breaks a recent high but reverses sharply, it may indicate a liquidity grab to trigger retail stops before a trend reversal.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Idea: Institutional orders are often concentrated in specific price zones ("order blocks") where large buy/sell decisions occurred.
Application: Identify bullish order blocks (strong buying zones) or bearish order blocks (strong selling zones) on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H/4H charts).
Example: A bullish order block forms after a strong rally; price often retests this zone later as support.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Idea: A price imbalance occurs when candles gap without overlapping, creating an area of "unfair" price that the market often revisits.
Application: Trade the retracement to fill the FVG. A bullish FVG acts as support, and a bearish FVG acts as resistance.
Example: Three consecutive candles create a gap; price later returns to fill this gap, offering a entry point.
4. Time-Based Analysis (NY Session, London Kill Zones)
Idea: Institutional activity peaks during specific times (e.g., 7 AM – 11 AM New York time).
Application: Focus on trades during high-liquidity periods when banks and hedge funds are active.
Example: The "London Kill Zone" (2 AM – 5 AM EST) often sees volatility due to European market openings.
5. Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)
Idea: A retracement level (similar to Fibonacci retracement) where institutions re-enter trends after a pullback.
Application: Look for 62–79% retracements in a trend to align with institutional accumulation/distribution zones.
Example: In an uptrend, price retraces 70% before resuming upward—enter long here.
6. Stop Hunts
Idea: Institutions manipulate price to trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction.
Application: Avoid placing stops at obvious levels (e.g., above/below recent swings). Instead, use wider stops or wait for confirmation.
ICT CheckListCredit to the owner of this script "TalesOfTrader"
The Awakening Checklist indicator is a tool designed to help traders evaluate certain key market conditions and elements before making trading decisions. It consists of a series of questions that the trader must answer using the options "Yes", "No" or "N/A" (not applicable).
“Has Asia Session ended?” : This question aims to determine if the Asian trading session has ended. The answer to this question can influence trading strategies depending on market conditions.
“Have you identified potential medium induction?” : This question concerns the identification of potential average inductions on the market. Recognizing these inductions can help traders anticipate future price movements.
"Have you identified potential PoI's": This question asks about the identification of potential points of interest on the market. These points of interest can indicate areas of significant support or resistance.
"Have you identified in which direction they are creating lQ?" : This question aims to determine in which direction market participants create liquidity (lQ). Understanding this dynamic can help make informed trade decisions.
“Have they induced Asia Range”: This question concerns the induction of the Asian range by market participants. Recognizing this induction can be important in assessing future price movements.
“Have you had a medium induction”: This question asks about the presence of a medium induction on the market. The answer to this question can influence trading prospects.
“Do you have a BoS away from the induction”: This question aims to find out if the trader has an offer (BoS) far from the identified induction. This can be a risk management strategy.
"Doas your induction PoI have imbalance": This question concerns the imbalance of points of interest (PoI) linked to induction. Recognizing this imbalance can help anticipate price movements.
“Do you have a valid target in mind”: This question aims to find out if the trader has a clear trading objective in mind. Having a goal can help guide trading decisions and manage risk.
ICT Vacuum BlocksThe indicator draws a box between the closing price of one candle and the opening price of the next whenever a gap occurs, helping traders easily spot potential areas of interest where the market has skipped over price levels. The boxes do not extend beyond the gap itself, keeping the chart clean and focused on the price action.
Features:
Detects both upward and downward gaps.
Non-extending boxes that accurately represent the size of each gap.
Customizable colors for up and down gaps to match your chart style.
ICT Asian Range and KillzonesThis TradingView indicator highlights key trading sessions and their price ranges on a chart. It identifies the Asian Range and the Killzones for both the London Open and New York Open sessions. Here’s a brief breakdown:
Asian Range:
Defines the high and low price levels during the Asian trading session (between the specified start and end hours, default 00:00 to 04:00 UTC).
Plots horizontal lines to mark the highest and lowest prices reached during the Asian session.
Adds labels showing the values of these high and low points after the session ends.
London and New York Killzones:
Identifies the “Killzones” or key trading windows for the London Open (default 06:00 to 09:00 UTC) and the New York Open (default 11:00 to 14:00 UTC).
Tracks the high and low price levels within these windows and plots rectangles ("boxes") on the chart to visualize these ranges.
The boxes are color-coded and customizable, indicating potential areas of high market activity or volatility.
Customizable Visuals:
Users can adjust the colors, border widths, and other visual properties for better clarity and chart integration.
ICT Time Levels Description:
The Time Levels Indicator is designed to enhance trading decisions by marking significant price levels at key times throughout the trading day. This indicator specifically focuses on three crucial times: 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, and 10:00 AM (UTC-4), which are often associated with significant market movements.
Key Features:
Customizable Time Levels: Users can toggle the display of price levels at 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, and 10:00 AM. Each level is marked with a line on the chart, which helps traders visually identify these critical points.
Style and Color Options: Customize the appearance of each time level with different line styles (solid, dotted, dashed) and colors to match your chart preferences.
Dynamic Labeling: The indicator automatically places a label at the current price level for each time, making it easier to identify and track these levels as the day progresses.
Real-Time Updates: As the trading session unfolds, the indicator adjusts the lines and labels to reflect the latest price data at the specified times.
How It Works:
At the specified times (8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, and 10:00 AM), the indicator captures the opening price and plots a horizontal line at that level.
These lines serve as reference points, helping traders to observe how the price interacts with these key levels throughout the day.
The lines and labels are fully customizable, allowing users to adapt the indicator to their trading style and visual preferences.
Use Cases:
Market Open Strategies: Traders can use the 9:30 AM level to monitor the opening price of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which often sets the tone for the trading session.
Morning Volatility: The 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM levels can be useful for identifying potential support and resistance levels during periods of increased volatility, such as economic data releases or after the market opens.
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday traders who focus on morning trading sessions and want to have a clear visual reference to guide their decisions.
Note: This script is designed to be simple yet effective, providing traders with essential information without cluttering the chart.
ICT New Week Opening GapDisplay the Current New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) on your Futures Market charts.
Disclaimer: this indicator is completely built from scratch, which is why not many features are added yet.
This indicator is 100% UNIQUE in the way that the NWOG remains accurately drawn on the chart, regardless of which chart settings are modified (for example, Settlement-as-Close, RTH/ETH, Back-Adjustment, etc.), unlike other NWOG plotting indicators.
Additionally, the NWOG can be plotted on a large variety of timeframes, from the Weekly chart, all the way down to the 1-second chart.
The NWOG is defined as Friday's closing price (e.g., at 4:59pm New York Time for ES1!) and Sunday's opening price (e.g., at 6:00pm New York Time for ES1!) on a new week.
This indicator draws a Box at these levels and extends it out in time to the most recent bar so that it can be visualized how price reacts to and gyrates around these levels.
Basically, the Box that is drawn on the chart by this indicator can be used as dynamic support & resistance levels. The actual price levels are shown at the top-right of the chart in a small table, for anyone wanting to remove the indicator and draw the levels themselves.
Only the current week's opening price and the previous week's closing price will be drawn on the chart.
The indicator settings are only used to change the visuals such as box colors and text colors/size. The actual calculations are performed as mentioned above and cannot be changed by the Style/Settings Input.
Note: it is recommended to toggle ON the " Scale Price Chart Only " chart option if using auto-scaling on charts because TradingView by default will force indicator drawings to display on the chart area even if an NWOG is far away from the current price action.
This is a bare bones indicator (1st version) that will only draw the current NWOG. Future updates will add support for displaying historical NWOGs.
For support of additional markets or indicator settings/features, please leave a comment on this script.
