ICT OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) Indicator

What This Indicator Does:

This is an ultra-clean ICT (Inner Circle Trader) indicator that shows only ONE high-probability signal at a time when multiple confluences perfectly align. It eliminates chart clutter and focuses on the absolute best trading opportunities.

How It Takes Positions:

🔍 Signal Requirements (ALL Must Align):

Market Structure Break - Significant swing high/low break with volume confirmation
Fair Value Gap (FVG) - Large price imbalance/gap (minimum 0.5% size)
Order Block - Institutional supply/demand zone from recent rejection candle
OTE Sweet Spot - Price retraces to 70.5% Fibonacci level (optimal entry zone)
Volume Confirmation - 50% above 50-bar average volume
Rejection Candle - Proper candle formation showing rejection at the level

📊 Position Entry Logic:

BUY Signal Triggers When:
Price breaks above a significant swing high (bullish structure break)
Price retraces back down into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block
Retracement reaches exactly the 70.5% optimal level
Volume spike confirms institutional interest
Rejection candle forms (closes higher than it opened during retracement)
No other signal has been active in the last 50 bars (cooldown system)

SELL Signal Triggers When:
Price breaks below a significant swing low (bearish structure break)
Price retraces back up into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block
Retracement reaches exactly the 70.5% optimal level
Volume spike confirms institutional interest
Rejection candle forms (closes lower than it opened during retracement)
No other signal has been active in the last 50 bars (cooldown system)

⚡ Key Features:
Ultra-Strict Filtering: Only 2-4 signals per month on average (quality over quantity)
One Signal Rule: Only one active signal at a time - no confusion
50-Bar Cooldown: Prevents signal spam and overtrading
Perfect Confluence: Requires 3+ ICT concepts to align simultaneously
Clean Chart: No boxes, lines, or visual clutter - just clear BUY/SELL labels

🎯 Trading Strategy:
Wait for Signal: Large BUY or SELL label appears on chart
Entry: Enter immediately when signal appears (all confluences already confirmed)
Stop Loss: Place beyond the Fair Value Gap or Order Block (typically 1-2% risk)
Take Profit: Target previous swing high/low or major liquidity levels
Risk Management: Only trade when signal appears - no guessing or early entries

💡 Why It Works:
This indicator combines ICT's most powerful concepts (market structure, FVGs, order blocks, optimal retracements) into one confluence-based system. It only signals when institutional money is likely moving, giving you the highest probability entries with minimal noise.

Perfect for: Swing traders, day traders, and anyone wanting clean, high-probability ICT signals without chart clutter.
