ICT Commitment of Traders° by toodegreesDescription:
The Commitment of Traders (COT) is a valuable raw data report released weekly by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This report offers insights into the current long and short positions of three key market entities:
Commercial Traders ( usually represented in red )
Large Traders ( typically depicted in green )
Small Speculator Traders ( commonly shown in blue )
The concept of utilizing the COT data as a strategic trading tool was first introduced by Larry Williams, who emphasized the importance of monitoring Commercial Speculators – large corporate producers or consumers of commodities.
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) prompts us to delve deeper into this data. While we can easily determine their Net Position (also referred to as the Main Program) by subtracting Commercial Short Positions from the Commercial Long Positions, this calculation doesn't reveal their ongoing Hedge Program .
Merely following the Main Program won't provide a trading edge. Aligning with the Hedge Program can be an invaluable weapon in your trading arsenal.
The Commercial Speculators' Hedge Program can be unveiled by examining the highest and lowest reading of their Net Position over a chosen time period and setting a new "zero line" between these extremes. This process generates a novel "COT Graph" providing a detailed understanding of the Commercial Speculators' current market activity.
When the Hedge Program, Seasonality, and Open Interest are cross-referenced with Institutional Orderflow, a trader can construct a very clear medium-to-long-term market narrative.
Features:
Access COT Data for the Commercial Speculators via Tradingview's reliable data source
Automate calculations and display the 3-month, 6-month, 12-month, 2-year, and 3-year Hedge Program
Define your own Custom Time Range for the Hedge Program
Display the Main Program and all Hedge Programs in an easy-to-understand table format
Additionally, by following the included instructions, you can augment your table with COT data from multiple markets. This extra information can help monitor correlated markets and develop a more robust market narrative:

Strength Comparison @joshuuuexample:
if you want to find the stronger/weaker pair between eurusd and gbpusd, what you can do is check the eurgbp charts. if eurgbp is bullish, that means, that longs longs on eurusd are better than on gbpusd.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing to compare for example usoil with ukoil, or us100 with us500.
That's where this indicator comes in handy. You can choose whatever two symbols you want, that are supported by tradingview and you will get a chart, which shows symbol1/symbol2.
Now you can use normal market structure, or the ema option, to find out the stronger symbol.
This can also help predicting the so called SMT Divergences, taught by ICT.

Seasonal Tendency° [Pro+] by toodegreesTRADINGVIEW IMAGE IS NOT DISPLAYING THE TOOL CORRECTLY, CHECK OUT THE IMAGES BELOW!
Description:
A Seasonal Tendency is a historical pattern or roadmap that reflects how price action has behaved in the past during specific time periods, usually on a monthly basis. It is not an absolute guarantee of future price movements, but rather a general rule of thumb to identify potential high-probability long-term trades. Seasonal tendencies can be used to analyze various pairs and asset classes, and when combined with the underlying market trends or conditions, they can help traders narrow down specific times of the year when big moves are more likely to occur.
Keep in mind that while these seasonal tendencies have been successfully compared with the Inner Circle Trader's go-to seasonal third-party provider and are based on sound statistical logic, their reliability is dependent on the data available on TradingView. This means that the accuracy and relevance of these tendencies may vary, but they still serve as valuable tools for identifying potential high-probability trading opportunities when used in conjunction with other market analysis techniques. Pay attention to the Years of Data used to determine the significance of the information for your trading hypotheses.
Tool Features:
Discover the power of our innovative tool that seamlessly integrates all available TradingView data to create a dynamic on-chart seasonal display:
– Monitor the 5, 10, 15, 30, and All Time Seasonal graphs with ease
– Effortlessly visualize and align the seasonal graphs with real-time prices for a holistic view
– Align the seasonal graph with the annual timeline, pinpointing precise moments for potential trading setups, keeping Months and Quarters in mind
– Read into the seasonality thanks to the Seasonal Lows and Highs Matrix
– Auto-detect the underlying Futures Contract's Asset Class
– Monitor the entire Asset Class' Seasonal Tendencies with a tailored Seasonal Lows and Highs Matrix

OverNightSession @joshuuuThis indicator highlights the Overnightsession (ONS), taught by TheCurrenyMerchant.
The Overnightsession is from 4-8 am UTC-5. This session can be used to form trades, e.g. after one side has been taken out.
It has the options to display Projection and the equilibrium level. Equilibrium level (50%) can be used to identify if price is currently in premium/discount of the range and the projections (standard deviations of the range) can be used to identify possible targets.
A classic setup he teaches is:
Price trades agressively out of the range taking liquidity. As soon as we trade above the high of the candle that took liquidity, that candle can be considered an orderblock, where the 50% level can be used for long setups.

Rounded Forex Levels: Big-Figure, Mid-Figure, 80-20 levels, BFRNSimple indicator to show Rounded levels in typical Forex pairs: Big figure, Mid-figure, 80-20 Insitutional Levels, 10pip levels, 5pip levels
Wrote this indicator because other ones out there seem to clutter the chart. This is simple, low-clutter and can be set by user to have arbitrary start and end points for the lines.
I wanted the ability for lines to plot discreetly to the right hand side of price as in the chart above, since in my opinion, these are only of secondary consideration to a trader, an extra confirmation/confluence to an existing idea.
//Purpose & Usage:
-Big-figure levels (100pips) & Mid-figure levels (50pips) will have a senstitivity to price, that can be an additional tool when looking for confluence for a target or an entry.
-As well as BF levels and MF levels; Institutional levels (20pips below and 20 pips above a Big Figure level) and standard 10pip or 5pip levels, can be useful in the right context (i.e added confirmation that of a minor sweep target; added conviction in an idea if the level aligns with another seperately derived level).
//User inputs:
-Toggle on/off each of the types of level.
-Line spacing: choose pip spacing of lines .
-Number of lines above/below (i.e. setting of 5 will be 11 lines. One central, 5 above, 5 below).
-Formatting: for each class of lines, code by color, style and width (as per the example chart below).
-Line start offset and line end offset: bars forward/back for each of start point and end point. So lines could be spread right across chart; or neatly pushed to the far right or left of the chart.
//Notes:
-Designed for typical Forex pairs with units close to 1.0 (like Eur/Usd, Usd/Cad, Aud/Usd, Gbp/Usd, Eur/Gbp, Nzd/Usd).
-Lines are based from the rounded close of the previous bar, Updating (if applicable) on each new bar.

Market Profile @joshuuuTime is fractal. Every candle has an open, low, high and closing price.
Depending on what timeframe you are on, some opening prices could be more interesting than others.
This indicator tracks, which timeframe you are currently on and displays different things accordingly, so that the chart is never messy.
Below the hourly timeframe, the indicator highlights ICT Killzones, times of the day where most volume occurs and price moves the "cleanest". There are different versions to display those sessions in the settings.
From the hourly timeframe up to the daily timeframe, the indicator shows the "Weekly Profile". It plots the weekly opening line, can highlight daily highs and lows and daily opens and shows the name of the days on the chart.
On the daily timeframe, the indicator switches to a monthly profile. It shows the monthly open, weekly highs/lows AND it shows another concept taught by ICT, the IPDA Lookback.
ICT teaches that especially the last 20, 40 and 60 days PD Arrays and Highs/Lows are important and this indicator highlights those lookback windows accordingly.
The indicator has a lot of settings to make it allow maximum individuality.
ICT Macros [LuxAlgo]The ICT Macros indicator aims to highlight & classify ICT Macros, which are time intervals where algorithmic trading takes place to interact with existing liquidity or to create new liquidity.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Macros
Macro Time options (such as '09:50 AM 10:10'): Enable specific macro display.
Top Line , Mid Line , Bottom Line and Extending Lines options: Controls the lines for the specific macro.
🔹 Macro Classification
Length : A length to detect Market Structure Brakes and classify macro type based on detection.
Swing Area : Swing or Liquidity Area selection, highest/lowest of the wick or the candle bodies.
Accumulation , Manipulation and Expansion color options for the classified macros.
🔹 Others
Macro Texts : Controls both the size and the visibility of the macro text.
Alert Macro Times in Advance (Minutes) : This option will plot a vertical line presenting the start of the next macro time. The line will not appear all the time, but it will be there based on remaining minutes specified in the option.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) : Adjust time appropriate to Daylight Saving Time of the specific region.
🔶 USAGE
A macro is a way to automate a task or procedure which you perform on a regular basis.
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
To trade these effectively, it is important to understand the time of day when certain macros come into play, and it is strongly advised to introduce the concept of liquidity in your analysis.
Macros can be classified into three categories where the Macro classification is calculated based on the Market Structure prior to macro and the Market Structure during the macro duration:
Manipulation Macro
Manipulation macros are characterized by liquidity being swept both on the buyside and sellside.
Expansion Macro
Expansion macros are characterized by liquidity being swept only on the buyside or sellside. Prices within these macros are highly correlated with the overall trend.
Accumulation Macro
Accumulation macros are characterized by an accumulation of liquidity. Prices within these macros tend to range.
The script returns the maximum/minimum price values reached during the macro interval alongside the average between the maximum/minimum and extends them until a new macro starts. These levels can act as supports and resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
All required data for the macro detection and classification is retrieved using 1 minute data sets, this includes candles as well as pivot/swing highs and lows. This approach guarantees the visually presented objects are same (same highs/lows) on higher timeframes as well as the macro classification remain same as it is in 1 min charts.
8 Macros can be displayed by the script (4 are enabled by default):
02:33 AM 03:00 London Macro
04:03 AM 04:30 London Macro
08:50 AM 09:10 New York Macro
09:50 AM 10:10 New York Macro
10:50 AM 11:10 New York Macro
11:50 AM 12:10 New York Launch Macro
13:10 PM 13:40 New York Macro
15:15 PM 15:45 New York Macro
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in advance of the next Macro time, where the value specified in 'Alert Macro Times in Advance (Minutes)' option indicates how early to be notified.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script is supported on 1 min, 3 mins and 5 mins charts.

FVG Strategy - Fair Value GapThe Fair Value Gap Strategy (FVG) is a trading approach that relies on price action analysis and involves identifying market inefficiencies or imbalances.
The strategy offers a variety of customizable settings to match your preferences and includes an entry and exit strategy to guide you through trades.
The script operates in the following manner:
It begins by searching for fair-value-gaps and subsequently identifies a break in structure.
The next step involves waiting for the price to retrace within the previously established fair value gap.
Within this gap, there is a Fibonacci retracement that must be reached before placing a stop-order.
Example: GER40, 1min Chart
STOP LOSS & RISK MANAGEMENT
FVG : The stop loss will be set at the end of the fair value gap
Last Swing : The stop loss will be at the last swing high/low
ATR (Average True Range) : The stop loss will be placed one 'Average True Range' away from the entry
TAKE PROFIT
Pips/Points : The stop loss will be set at the chosen amount of pips/points.
RiskReward TP : This is a fixed take profit where you can set a specific risk-to-reward ratio for the trade. For example, you can set a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio.
Trailing Stop : This is a flexible stop that moves with the market price, allowing you to capture more profit as the trade moves in your favor.
Both : This option combines both the RiskReward TP and Trailing Stop. If the price target is set at a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, the trailing stop will move with the price until either the stop or take profit is reached, and the position will be closed completely.
THE FVG SECTION
In the FVG section, you will have the ability to customize your settings based on your specific requirements.
Firstly, you will have the choice of two possible entry options:
Candle Close : This option triggers the order once the candle has completely closed and all the set requirements are met.
Stop Orders : This option triggers the order once all the set requirements are met, even if the candle is still active and has not yet closed.
On top, you can activate the "Pinbar-Trading", that will allow you to take a trade on a pinbar, even when the candle just dipped into the FVG and snapped back.
FAIR VALUE GAP TYPE
On volatile market, it may happen that a massive FVG is created. Thats why we have separated the FVG into 2 different variables.
FVG Type: Normal : This is all regular FVG that meet the requirement of you minimum size range. As example FVG must be minimum 5$ big.
FVG Type: Big : This are all big FVG that meet the minimum set size range. The difference to the "normal" type, the stop loss will be set at 50% of the Big-FVG.
FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT & MARKET STRUCTURE
To refine the FVG strategy, you have three options:
Fibonacci Retracement Value (%) : The FVG strategy employs a Fibonacci retracement, which allows you to trade in the direction of the market movement. To initiate the order, the price must reach a predetermined Fibonacci level and then rebound.
Formation-to-Retracement Countdown: : This option provides you with a specified number of candles to meet the necessary conditions. For example, if the order is not triggered within 20 candles, delete the FVG-Zone and skip the trade to avoid getting caught in a sideways ranging trend.
Structure Lookback : This feature filters out older FVG Zones. You can specify the number of candles that should mark the FVG Zones. Keep in mind that newer and fresher zones will automatically conceal older ones.
ICT Time Windows by Scuba SteveJust an easy to use time based indicator that allows you to track ICT London Open Killzone, New York Open killzone, AM session Silver Bullet time window & PM Session Silver Bullet Time Window, and last but not least the Last Hour of trading which often has nice moves.
Seasonality [TFO]This Seasonality indicator is meant to provide insight into an asset's average performance over specified periods of time (Daily, Monthly, and Quarterly). It is based on a 252 trading day calendar, not a 365 day calendar. Therefore, some estimations are used in order to aggregate the Daily data into higher timeframes, as we assume every Month to be 21 trading days, and every Quarter to be 63 trading days. Instead of collecting data on the 1st day of a given month, we are actually treating it as the "nth" trading day of the year. Some years exceed 252 trading days, some fall short; however 252 is the average that we are working with for US stocks and indices. Results may vary for non-US markets.
Main features:
- Statistics Table
- Performance Analysis
- Seasonal Pivots
The Statistics Table provides a summarized view of the current seasonality: whether the average Day/Month/Quarter tends to be bullish or bearish, what the average percent change is, and what the current (actual) change is relative to the historical value. It is shown in the top right of this chart.
The Performance Analysis shows a histogram of the average percentage performance for the selected timeframe. Here we have options for Daily, Monthly, and Quarterly. The previous chart showed the Monthly timeframe, here we have the Daily and Quarterly.
Lastly, Seasonal Pivots show where highs and lows tend to be created throughout the year, based on an aggregation of the Daily performance data collected over the available years. If we anchor our data to the beginning of the current year, and then manually offset it by ~252 (depending on the year), we can line this data up with the previous years' data and observe how well these Seasonal Pivots lined up with major Daily highs and lows.
Styling options are available for every major component of this indicator. Please consider sharing if you find it useful!
ICT SessionsThis script plots the timewindows of the ICT killzones (for forex) and trading session + makros below the chart. Individual components can be switched of to your liking
ICT MakrosThis script highlights the ICT trading makros and silverbullet timewindows with different background colors on your chart. The drawings are only visible on the timeframe 1min - 5min because they become useless above and i didnt code the logic for below 1min
ICT Session Opening FVG / Silver Bullet [MK]Students of ICT concepts will know that the first FVG found within particular session periods can identify an important price level for intraday traders.
"Find the first FVG at the start of the session and drag a box from it to the right"....ICT
The script finds the first FVG (either bull or bear) within the following periods:
London Killzone (0200 - 0500) EST
02:00 - 0259
03:00 - 0359
0400 - 0459
Dead Zone (05-00 - 0600) EST
05-00 - 0559
0600 - 0659
NY AM Killzone (0700 - 1100) EST
0700 - 0759
0830 - 0929
0929 - 0959
1000 - 1100 (Silver Bullet)
A chart higher timeframe can be chosen to detect the FVGs and they will be displayed on lower timeframe. Default is 5min for detection. I like to then following price reacting to 5mi FVGs on a 1 min chart.
FVG boxes can be extended to the end of the session, or to any time within the current days trading hours. Colors/Labels/ Session Periods can all be edited. A maximum timeframe for display is available and
timezone can be adjusted.
FVGs are only shown for the current days trading hours.
FVG Sessions [LuxAlgo]The FVG Sessions indicator highlights the first fair value gap of the trading session as well as the session range. Detected fair value gaps extend to the end of the trading session.
Alerts are included on the formation of a session fair value gap, price being within a session fair value gap, mitigations, and price crossing session fair value gaps average.
🔶 USAGE
Trader ICT states that the first fair value gap of the trading session can attract the most significant reaction. Having only one FVG per session allows users to further focus on that precise imbalance as well as external elements.
The mitigation of a fair value gap is clearly indicated on the chart with a more transparent color allowing users to see inverse FVGs.
Extending the fair value gaps allows the imbalance area to provide potential support and resistance.
Do note that this script should be used on intraday charts.
🔶 ALERTS
The script includes the following alerts:
🔹 Bullish/Bearish FVG
Alerts on the formation of the first bullish or bearish FVG of the session.
🔹 Bullish/Bearish FVG Mitigation
Alerts when the first bullish or bearish FVG of the session is mitigated.
🔹 Price Within FVG
Alerts when price is within the first bullish or bearish FVG area of the session.
🔹 Price Cross FVG Average
Alerts when price cross the average level of the first bullish or bearish FVG of the session.
SME Backtesting [TFO]This strategy script is an extension of my Smart Money Essentials (SME) indicator and aims to provide a simplified means of backtesting complex trade models that incorporate a variety of Smart Money Concepts.
Among other things, Smart Money Essentials contains logic for:
- Market structure
- Fair Value Gaps
- Order Blocks
- Breaker Blocks
- Optimal Trade Entries
- HTF Market Structure
The Confluence section can then be utilized to build and test trade models from any combination of the included factors. As a basic example, we could test a strategy that only utilizes market structure. With Manual Exit turned off, we would simply be flipping long on bullish market structure shifts, and reversing short on bearish market structure shifts for the duration of the user-defined session.
As one might expect, such a simple strategy isn't expected to produce very reliable results by itself. However, we could build on these ideas by adding extra layers of Confluence, like looking for entries where Market Structure aligns with Order Block interactions. We could also turn on Manual Exit with a 40 tick stop loss and 80 tick profit target (10 points and 20 points, respectively, for ES futures), for more defined exit criteria.
One could expand on these ideas by adding factors like Fair Value Gaps, HTF Market Structure, etc. Any of the core pieces of SME can be used to build and backtest strategies that would otherwise be extremely tedious to do by hand, and as the SME indicator grows, so too will this backtesting script. Ultimately, the purpose of this is to make Smart Money Concepts more objective and easily testable so that users may better understand where these concepts may perform best.
ADR/AWR/AMR Average Daily+Weekly+Monthly Range[Traders Reality]Advanced ADR/AWR/AMR indicator created for Traders Reality community, as well as the greater trading community.
Thanks to the TR community discord guys: infernix, peshocore and xtech5192
Everything is modular and can be turned on/off, including a customisable table showing daily/weekly/monthly average pips/dollars.
If you just want the average daily range lines for example, you can just disable everything else. You can choose how many days to look back; as well as for weeks or months.
Check out Traders Reality on YouTube if you want to see this implemented as part of Tino's strategy that utilizes market manipulation, imbalances, times of day etc.
Price regularly reverses from ADR, making it one of the few highly valuable indicators in price action/smart money trading.
ICT Day/Week/Month Levels [MK]Displays Open, High, Low, Close and 50% levels for the Previous Day/Week/Month.
Also shows the Open for the Current Day/Week/Month
Also shows the Current New Week Opening Gap Midline (NWOG)
These levels are key to teachings by ICT as well as other trading strategies. There are lots of scripts available for this data, however this one plots the levels to the right of price on the chart to keep the chart as clean as possible. The line styles, colors and text can be customised. The offset to the right of the chart for the start of line and label offsets can also be adjusted.
Labels are abbreviated to PDH (previous day high), CMO (current month open), PW50% (previous week 50% from high to low) ..etc
Breaker Blocks with Signals [LuxAlgo]The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to highlight a complete methodology based on breaker blocks. Breakout signals between the price and breaker blocks are highlighted and premium/discount swing levels are included to provide potential take profit/stop loss levels.
This script also includes alerts for each signal highlighted.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Length: Sensitivity of the detected swings used to construct breaker blocks. Higher values will return longer term breaker blocks.
Use only candle body: Only use the candle body when determining the maximum/minimum extremities of the order blocks.
Use 2 candles instead of 1: Use two candles to confirm the occurrence of a breaker block.
Stop at first break of center line: Do not highlight breakout signals after invalidation until reset.
🔹 PD Array
Only when E is in premium/discount zone: Only set breaker block if point E of wave ABCDE is within the corresponding zone.
Show premium discount zone: Show premium/discount zone.
Highlight Swing Break: Highlight occurrences of price breaking a previous swing level.
Show Swings/PD Arrays: Show swing levels/labels and pd areas.
🔶 USAGE
The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to provide users with a minimalistic display alongside optimal signals to be aware of for finding trade setups as shown below.
Here we can see a MSS occurred allowing the indicator to detect a Breaker Block (-BB) & display a red arrow to confirm this signal.
The signal(s) that can be used for potential entries are only during retests of the breaker blocks.
A potential strategy traders could use with this indicator is to target the corresponding Discount PD Arrays detected (for a short position) and Premium PD Arrays (for a long position).
In the image above we can see price generated the potential entry signals in orange & fell to the Discount PD Arrays as a logical setup to look for with this indicator.
As we can see in the image above, signals can be considered invalid when price closes above the 50% level in which it would be suggested to wait for another setup.
Users still looking for more potential setups based on the same breaker block can disable the "Stop at first break of center line" setting within the settings menu.
In the image above we can see a bullish example whereas price confirmed a bullish breaker block (+BB), had a quick pullback into it that was confirmed by the green arrow, and then reached the Premium PD Arrays.
While retests of breaker blocks can still function well if they occur later in the price action, it's most preferable for users to look for entry signals that are near confirmed breaker blocks (5-10 bars) opposed to waiting 20+ bars.
Additional take profits based on the occurence of the breaker blocks are given in order to provide targets after the occurence of a breaker block breakout.
🔶 DETAILS
Breaker blocks are formed after a mitigated order block, these can provide change of polarity opportunities, thus playing a role as a potential support/resistance. It is the re-test/retrace of price to a breaker block that will set the conditions to provide signals.
The above chart describes the creation of a breaker block.
The signal generation logic makes use of various rules described below:
Bullish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is above the upper extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
Bearish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is below the lower extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
When a new pattern is formed, all previous drawings are removed.

neXt Macros - Killzones [cognyto]The MACRO indicator is a valuable tool for traders who want to develop consistency and believe that major macroeconomic events occur at certain times of the day that can affect the market. By showing macro times in advance, allowing alerts to be triggered, and showing previous macros that have occurred, the MACRO indicator provides traders with the information they need to make more informed trading decisions that can be used in conjunction with their own strategies.
What is a MACRO?
A MACRO is a concept introduced by Micheal Huddleston, known as ICT, the -Inner Circle Trader- and he is the one to thank for. It represents some short periods of time during the day that can be used as an advantage for trading due to major economic events, or when the price reaches a certain level of relevance. The indicator is a tool that visually highlights these important periods in advance.
Some of the features of the MACRO indicator are:
The indicator highlights IN ADVANCE the relevant segments of time during the day, known as MACROS. It allows the trader to monitor the price precisely at these times and potentially identify trading opportunities according to his own strategies. All Macro times in the indicator can be modified, enabled or disabled. It is likely that not all MACROS will be relevant to all instruments, so it is recommended that only those relevant to the trader's instrument or market preferences are enabled, disabled or the times adjusted. The News checkbox helps traders to visualise, in a different color, those macros where news are expected to be published and may cause unpredictable high volatility, so it is advisable to have high precautions or as suggested by ICT: "DO NOT TRADE DURING THOSE TIMES OR DAYS !!! " Please note that this feature is optional to be used but certainly has to be updated on a daily basis, since not all days occur the same news events.
In addition to this, it also allows the trader to set the number of minutes that alerts are to be triggered before the start of the next MACRO. This feature allows traders to review, analyse and trade ONLY during MACRO times and prevent them from constantly monitoring the screen. This feature can be of great value to those who need the discipline to gain consistency and only trade when the time is relevant. Please note that the alerts are not triggered by the indicator, this can only be done through TradingView. The checkbox only indicates that the trader wishes to receive alerts of those MACRO times that are enabled. Therefore, it is HIGHLY SUGGESTED to set the alerts in TradingView to the 1 minute timeframe in order to have the required precision for alarming.
Finally, the MACRO indicator also displays previous macros that have occurred in the last few days and with severe settings that allow the trader to precisely implement different strategies. This feature allows traders to back test and analyse the relevance of past macros. By understanding how the market has reacted to similar events in the past, traders can make more informed decisions about how to trade current and future events.

Simple ICT Market Structure by toodegreesThis Simple ICT Market Structure is based on the teachings of ICT, specifically in his episode 12 of the Public 2022 Mentorship.
The only omission here is the peculiar calculation of Intermediate Term points, for which I am not using the concept of repricing imbalances – this can be added later!
Feel free to use this tool, however it is quite simple and market structure is something we all know very well how to spot. In my opinion it is helpful to display the long term swing points to identify more mature pools of liquidity.
The reason for coding this tool is to help new coders understand PineScript (I have a video tutorial where I code this from start to finish), as well as fostering some algorithmic thinking in your trading of ICT Concepts and Algorithmic Delivery.
If you have any questions about the code, shoot me a message!
Hope you learn something and GLGT!
Market Structure Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]This script returns trailing stops on the occurrence of market structure (CHoCH/BOS labeling). Trailing stops are adjusted based on trailing maximums/minimums with the option for users to be able to control how quickly a trailing stop can converge toward the price.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pivot Lookback: Pivot length used for the detection of swing points.
Increment Factor %: Controls how fast trailing stops converge toward the price, with lower values returning slower converging trailing stops.
Reset Stop On: Determines if trailing stops are reset on CHoCH structure or all (CHoCH + BOS).
Show Structure: Determines if market structure is displayed.
🔶 USAGE
Trailing stops allow traders to protect them against downside risk while also guaranteeing a potential profit in case the market goes in the expected direction of the trade.
Users making use of market structure as a primary entry condition can benefit from having trailing stops based on these to either provide an additional exit condition or to provide points of support/resistance with the price.
Trailing stops can avoid being hit more frequently by using a lower Increment Factor % setting.
Finally, users can reset the trailing stop when any market structure is detected (or only on CHoCHs). Allowing trailing stops to reset on the detection of any market structure allows the indicator to return trailing stops closer to the price. CHoCH labels are highlighted as dashed lines while BOS labels are highlighted as dotted lines.
🔶 DETAILS
When a new structure (or only CHoCH if specified by the user) is detected, trailing stops will initially be set based on the maximum/minimum made on the previous trend. This will also set the trailing maximum/minimum to the current price value.
If an uptrend is detected (most recent market structure is bullish) then the trailing stop will increase if the trailing maximum increase, the increment is calculated as:
trailing stop = trailing stop + Increment Factor % of (trailing maximum - previous trailing maximum)
If a downtrend is detected (most recent market structure is bearish) then the trailing stop will decrease if the trailing minimum decrease, the decrement is calculated as:
trailing stop = trailing stop + Increment Factor % of (trailing minimum - previous trailing minimum)
FX Sessions & Killzones ETJust another sessions indicator. Among all the many existing ones, I didn't find anything simple that would cover my needs and that would actually be correct.
New York time is forced here for plotting the stripes so you don't need to worry about the time zone currently set on your chart. The indicator will be accurate during Daylight Saving Time (which, in 2023 for example, started on Sunday, 12 March , 02:00:00 and will be in effect until Sunday, 5 November, 02:00:00).
Institutional Patterns (Expo)█ Overview
The Institutional Patterns indicator is designed to identify and track trading patterns associated with accumulation and distribution primarily used by institutional traders. By analyzing the behavior of large institutional investors and their trading activity, the indicator provides valuable insights into the underlying forces driving the market.
█ How is calculated?
The indicator analyzes various elements such as accumulation/distribution, volume, price action, and liquidity levels to recognize patterns typical of institutional trading activities.
█ How to use
Accumulation/Distribution Areas: The indicator identifies zones where large institutional players are accumulating or distributing their positions, providing users with a clearer understanding of the market's supply and demand dynamics.
Market Tops/Bottoms: The indicator can detect signs of market exhaustion or reversal, highlighting potential market tops and bottoms.
Trend Identification: The indicator analyzes the trading patterns of institutional investors to determine the overall market direction, allowing users to identify prevailing trends easily. By trading in the direction of the dominant trend, traders can increase their probability of success and improve their overall risk-reward ratio.
