ICT NY Silver Bullet SessionsThe ICT NY Silver Bullet Sessions refer to two specific time windows within the New York trading session, during which traders aim to exploit short-term, high-probability price movements, particularly using price-action techniques inspired by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. These sessions are typically associated with a higher likelihood of volatility and liquidity due to their proximity to key market hours, making them ideal for scalping or intraday trading strategies.
The Silver Bullet concept emphasizes precise entries and exits, taking advantage of institutional trading behaviors and order flow within these two specific time windows:
(I) The AM Silver Bullet Session (10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST)
Time Frame: This session runs from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Significance: During this hour, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has been open for about 30 minutes, which typically generates volatility as the market reacts to overnight price movements, economic news, or early U.S. session developments. Traders look for institutional price action setups like stop runs, liquidity grabs, or reversals.
Key Considerations: Traders often focus on major indices (such as the S&P 500 or NASDAQ), forex pairs, or commodities like gold and silver. The AM session is especially important for catching trends or retracements established in the London session or the early New York market hours.
(II) The PM Silver Bullet Session (02:00 PM – 03:00 PM EST)
Time Frame: This session occurs from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Significance: Known as the afternoon session, this time period aligns with institutional rebalancing and pre-close positioning, where significant liquidity enters the market as traders anticipate the upcoming New York close and London close (which happens at 11:00 AM EST). It is also a common time for institutional traders to initiate price moves that carry through into the end of the trading day.
Key Considerations: Traders monitor for key reversals, liquidity sweeps, or continuations of earlier trends. This is a prime time for trading major currencies and indices, as well as commodities like crude oil and metals, with a focus on exploiting liquidity imbalances.

ICT HTF FVGs v2 (fadi)NOTICE: Instead of updating the existing ICT HTF FVGs indicator, this indicator is being published separately due to the requests to keep the original by some traders and because of the drastic change in behavior/configurations. If the original v1 version is more appropriate for your style of trading, feel free to continue to use it.
ICT HTF FVGs v2
In trading, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) refer to market inefficiencies or imbalances that occur when buying and selling activities are not equal. These gaps can be identified on various timeframes and are used in different trading strategies.
FVGs are crucial in price action trading as they highlight the difference between the current market price of an asset and its fair value. Traders use these gaps to identify potential trading opportunities, as they often indicate areas where the market may correct itself
This indicator will overlap the higher timeframe (HTF) FVGS over the current timeframe to help traders anticipate and plan their trades.
Features
Up to 6 higher timeframes (HTF) can be overlayed on a chart
Traders can limit the number of HTF FVGs to preset number of HTFs
Lower and current timeframes can be included
Configurable spacing of HTF FVGs to prevent overlapping
Configurable Smart Expansion of FVGs based on proximity to current price
Traders can decide what constitutes a Mitigated FVG
Show or hide mitigated FVGs to declutter the chart
Flexible display settings that controls how the FVGs are displayed
Flexible labeling of the FVG levels and content
Higher Timeframes Display Settings
This indicator provides the ability to select up to 6 HTF intervals. These intervals are based on the trader's timeframes including any custom timeframes.
Timeframe Configurations
Enable or Disable a Timeframe
The Timeframe to Display
Bullish / BISI FVG Color
Bearish / SIBI FVG Color
The number of FVGs For The Selected Timeframe
Limit to the next HTFs only can be used to display the selected number of HTF FVGs. For example, if the trader selects 3 then only 3 HTF FVGs will be displayed.
Note: If either of the next two options is selected, they will take up spots from this count.
Hide lower Timeframes restricts the FVGs to higher timeframes only. If this option is disabled, it will show lower timeframes FVGs as well.
Hide Current Timeframe removes current timeframe from the selected list of HTF FVGs. If this option is disabled, it will show current timeframe FVGs as well.
Background Transparency Enable or disable the background color (shaded area) of the FVG. If it is enabled, it will set the transparency amount. The higher the value, the more transparent the background.
Extend lines controls when and how to extend the FVG levels. There are three options:
Extension Only extends the FVGs by the specified number provided below only.
Current Candle Plus Extension extends all the FVGs beyond the current candle by the number provided below.
When in Range will only extend the FVGs near current price based on the advanced settings below. This setting will use Average True Range multiplier to calculate the range (shows FVGs that are higher or lower by the average candle size multiplied by the number in Advanced section).
Mitigated shows or hides the mitigated HTF FVGs. A FVG is considered mitigated based on one of the following options:
None will ignore mitigation and show all FVGs.
Touched when a HTF FVG is touched regardless of how deep the price get inside the FVG.
Wick filled the FVG is closed by a wick or body of a candle.
Body filled the FVG is closed by the body of a candle
Wick filled half a candle's wick or body has reached the C.E. of the FVG
Body filled half a candle body has reached the C.E. of the FVG
Extend mitigated lines sets the number of candles to extend the mitigated FVG levels by for better visibility.
Important Note: Mitigation is calculated based on the timeframe of the FVG, not current timeframe.
Display
Display settings focus on how the FVGs will be displayed. The trader is in total control and there are multiple ways to overlay FVGs on the chart.
Open / Close / C.E. / Link controls the borders. Traders can enable or disable any of them as well as set the thickness and style. Link is the right border.
C.E. also offers the option of setting the bullish (BISI) and bearish (SIBI) colors of the C.E. level
Labeling controls if the labels should be displayed next to the FVG, their color, background, and font size.
Label levels to display controls which levels to show. Open, High. or the C.E.
Label display content controls what to show in the labels, the timeframe of the label, is it a BISI or a SIBI, and a label to indicate if it is the Open or the Close.
Note: if the distance between the open and close has the potential of overlapping the labels, then the indicator will only show the C.E. label for visual clarity.
Advanced Settings
Advanced settings controls some internal calculations:
Proximity factor based on daily range used to calculate possible range of FVGs within a day's range to keep the chart clean. The higher the value, the more FVGs will be shown.
Combine labels factor for visibility used to calculate the distance between the open and close and if all the labels or only the C.E. should be displayed. The higher the value, the bigger the distance for combination (smaller numbers will show more labels).
Range should be within X candles used when "When in Range" option is selected. This is the ATR multiplier used to extend the FVGs. The higher the number, the more FVGs will be extended.
Once desired settings have been achieved, the settings can be saved as default from the bottom left of the indicator settings page for future use.
ICT Custom OPENSA basic Indicator, meant to delineate Specific ICT reference open times To be used with any ICT model that accounts for such, Time zone is set to the default UTC-4, New York Eastern Time, and all open times can be adjusted manually to the user's liking. Also displays labels for days of the week that can be positioned at the top or bottom of the chart
ICT IPDAGuided by ICT tutoring, I create this versatile indicator "IPDA".
This indicator shows a different way of viewing the “IPDA” by calculating from START
(-20 / -40 / -60) to (+20 /+40 /+60) Days, showing the Highs and Lows of the IPDA of the Previous days and both of the subsequent ones, the levels of (-20 / -40 / -60) Days can be taken into consideration as objectives to be achieved in the range of days (+20 /+40 /+60)
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose whether to display IPDAs before and after START
- Choose to show High and Low levels
- Choose to show Prices
The indicator should be used as ICT shows in its concepts.
Example on how to evaluate a possible Start IPDA:
Example for Entry targeting IPDAs :
If something is not clear, comment below and I will reply as soon as possible.
ICT Premium/DiscountGuided by ICT mentorship and help from TraderTim and its community, I created this versatile indicator to mark a "Premium/Discount" price range.
This indicator shows the Premium and Discount Zones in an alternative way, manually setting the start of the band and automatically shows the HTF and LTF FVG present only in the set band, having a cleaning of the graph from possible other distractions, so as to be able to have a clear vision clear of the set trading range
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose the start of the interval from the graph by moving the start line
- Choose to show levels 50% - 75% - 25% of the range
- Choose the color, style and size of the lines
- Choose to display FVG LTF or HTF in range
- Choose the FVG mitigation mode
The indicator must be used as shown by the ICT in its concepts, the Premium and Discount zones are nothing more than zones where the price risks retracing, and consequently we can evaluate making entries in the Premium Zone, Sell is evaluated, in the Discoutn Zone they are evaluated as Buy, taking the opposite area as Take Profit
As in the example below:
If anything is unclear, comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
How to change range:
ICT index correlated market indicatorThis is not a real indicator, but is what ICT use as indicator for trading futures indexes.
it can only display SP500, Dow Jon Industrial Average and Nasdaq, if someone want other market can copy the code and change some parameters (is more easy than it can appear)
A good idea is using this other market on backtest to confirm the divergence idea of Linda Raske, than use it to spot quickly in real market.
Another idea published by ICT is the "hidden entry pattern", the entry signal appear in ES or YM but I trade NQ for volatility, so I use the trigger of SP500 or Dow to enter in Nasdaq.
Rember always don't trust anybody, do your own backtest and research!

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
📊 Volume Imbalance Integration
Toggle Option: Enable/disable volume imbalance detection based on preference
Extended Boundaries: When enabled, FVG boundaries expand to include volume imbalance zones
Accurate Gap Sizing: Total gap calculation includes volume imbalance extensions
Multi-Scenario Support: Handles volume imbalances at start, end, or both sides of FVG formations
📈 Multiple Display Modes
Current Day: Shows only today's FVGs for clean chart analysis
Current Week: Displays all weekly FVGs for broader context
Forward Extension: Extends FVG boxes and CE, Upper/Lower Quadrant lines into the future

Color: Customizable quadrant line color
How It Works
FVG Boundary Calculation
Traditional FVG: High to Low (bullish) or Low to High (bearish)
Enhanced FVG: Extended boundaries to include volume imbalance zones when enabled
Total Gap Size: Calculated including any volume imbalance extensions
Volume Imbalance Detection
The indicator identifies volume imbalances by detecting bars where:
Bullish Imbalance: Current bar's body is completely above previous bar's body
Bearish Imbalance: Current bar's body is completely below previous bar's body

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.

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 + 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.
