This indicator is meticulously designed to support traders in identifying key institutional levels and liquidity zones, enhancing their trading strategies with data-driven insights. Suitable for both day traders and swing traders, the tool is optimized for high-frequency and positional trading, providing a robust framework for analyzing market dynamics across multiple time horizons.
# Key Features
Multi-Time Frame Analysis
High Time Frame (HTF) Levels : The indicator tracks critical trading levels over multiple days, specifically at 20, 40, and 60-day intervals. This functionality is essential for identifying long-term trends and significant support and resistance levels that aid in strategic decision-making for swing traders and positional traders.
Low Time Frame (LTF) Levels : It monitors price movements within 20, 40, and 60-hour intervals on lower time frames. This granularity provides a detailed view of intraday price actions, which is crucial for scalping and short-term trading strategies favored by day traders.
Daily Open Integration : The indicator includes the daily opening price, providing a crucial reference point that reflects the market's initial sentiment. This feature helps traders assess the market's direction and volatility, enabling them to make informed decisions based on the day's early movements, which is particularly useful for day trading strategies.
IPDA Reference Points : By leveraging IPDA's 20, 40, and 60-period lookbacks, the tool identifies Key Highs and Lows, which are used by IPDA as Draw On Liquidity. IPDA is an electronic and algorithmic system engineered for achieving price delivery efficiency, as taught by ICT. These reference points serve as benchmarks for understanding institutional trading behavior, allowing traders to align their strategies with the dominant market forces and recognize institutional key levels.
Dynamic Updates and Overlap Management : The indicator is updated daily at the beginning of a new daily candle with the latest market data, ensuring that traders operate with the most current information. It also features intelligent overlap management that prioritizes the most relevant levels based on the timeframe hierarchy, reducing visual clutter and enhancing chart readability.
Comprehensive Customization Options : Traders can tailor the indicator to their specific needs through an extensive input menu. This includes toggles for visibility, line styles, color selections, and label display preferences. These customization options ensure that the tool can adapt to various trading styles and preferences, enhancing user experience and analytical capabilities.

ICT MacrosThis script allows traders to visualize the range of time when a macro (an automated series of instructions/trades from large fund traders, executed by an algorithm) will likely occur in the market. It does this by drawing vertical lines and labels on the chart at these specific times:
(Macro Open) - 9:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 10:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 10:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 11:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 1:10 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 1:40 PM EST
(Macro Open) - 3:15 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 3:45 PM EST
The theory behind the use of these macros - is that the market will either seek buy side or sell side liquidity, or seek to rebalance price at a point of interest in between the open and close of the macro. Traders who follow this theory can use that information to anticipate how price might behave.
When a macro occurs, the script draws a vertical line on the chart using a dotted line style with a user-defined color. Additionally, a label is placed above the line to indicate whether it is a Macro Open or Macro Close event.
To preserve space, the labels are abbreviated on chart - "Macro Open" (M.O.) and "Macro Close" (M.C.) for both the morning and afternoon trading sessions. The labels may be turned on/off by the user.
The script also includes alerts that can notify traders when a macro occurs. These alerts can be set to go off once per bar close, and the alert message indicates the specific macro type and time.
This script is entirely open-source, meaning that traders can read the code and modify it as needed. Credit to the foundation of this script goes to TradingView user @rickyzcarroll for his open source Strat Assistant Hour Flip script. Important changes include the specific time changes and alert function.
dmn's ICT ToolkitThis is my quality of life indicator for forex trading using the methods and concepts of ICT.
The idea is to automate marking up important price levels and times of the day instead of doing it manually every day.
Killzones
Marks the most volatile times of the day on the chart, during which the intraday high/low usually takes place.
Particularly impactful when there's news released during these times.
London Open (02:00-05:00 EST)
New York Open (08:30-11:00 EST)
London Close (10:00-11:30 EST)
True Day delineation
Vertical line at the start of the "true day" (00:00 EST), start of the algorithmic trading day and aids in visualizing the intraday direction.
New York midnight price level
Noteworthy price level at the start of the "true day".
This price level is referenced by the interbank trading algorithms during the day. Buy below it on bullish days, sell above it on bearish days.
Daily open price level
Reference level for optimal trade entries. Buy below it on bullish days, sell above it on bearish days.
Central Banks Dealers Range (CBDR) (14:00-20:00 EST) &
Central Banks Dealers Flout (CBDF) (15:00-24:00 EST) &
Asian Range (AR) (20:00-24:00 EST)
The standard deviation lines available are used to make predictions for short-term future highs/lows when the CBDR and AR are smaller than 40 pips.
Trade them by looking for 5/15min key levels that converge with the projection levels.
X days Average Daily Range (ADR)
Default to 5 days back, gives an idea of how much movement to expect intraday when the ADR high/low is converging with CBDR/CBDF/AR standard deviations.
Current Daily Range (CDR)
Used for comparison against the ADR to help determine if there's enough intraday range left to enter a trade.
Dynamically changes color based on percentage of the ADR. Green below 50% of ADR, orange between 50 and 100%, red when CDR exceeds ADR.
All of the above are used in conjunction with each other and higher timeframe levels of importance to find entries and target.
Note: Preferably use New York's time zone for your charts.
ICT IPDA Look BackThis script automatically calculates and updates ICT's daily IPDA look back time intervals and their respective discount / equilibrium / premium, so you don't have to :)
IPDA stands for Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm. Said algorithm appears to be referencing the past 20, 40, and 60 days intervals as points of reference to define ranges and related PD arrays.
Intraday traders can find most value in the 20 Day Look Back box, by observing imbalances and points of interest.
Longer term traders can reference the 40 and 60 Day Look Back boxes for a clear indication of current market conditions.
IPDA operating range by makuchakuDetermining operating range is critical for trading.
You *need* to sell in premium & buy in discount.
This script determines an operating range by stepping back on an HTF timeframe to calculate that HTF candle's range. If the current candle in HTF breaks out, the range expands accordingly.
The timeframe mapping I've used is
Intraday & <= 2H : use Daily as HTF range
Intraday & > 2H : use Weekly as HTF range
Daily : use Monthly as HTF range
Weekly : use 6 Months as HTF range
The HTF mapping is my own personal preference. If you prefer, you can easily copy the indicator and create your own mapping.
Once the HTF range is known, the indicator also plots 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% levels.
