Sunmool's NY Lunch Model BacktestingICT NY Lunch Model Backtesting (12:00–13:00 NY) 🗽🍔
This research indicator tests an ICT narrative using the New York lunch window (12:00–13:00 America/New_York). It records that hour’s high/low and measures, during the post-lunch session (default 13:00–16:00), how often:
⬆️ If the afternoon trends up, the Lunch Low gets swept first.
⬇️ If the afternoon trends down, the Lunch High gets swept first.
It reports these as conditional probabilities, not trade signals. 📈
👀 What it shows
🟦 Lunch Range box (toggle): high/low from 12:00–13:00 NY
🔻🔺 Sweep signals (bar-anchored)
Low sweep: triangle below bar + optional “L”
High sweep: triangle above bar + optional “H”
🧱 Optional small box wrapping the swept candle
📊 Stats table (top-right)
P(L-swept | Up) — % of Up-days where Lunch Low was swept
P(H-swept | Down) — % of Down-days where Lunch High was swept
🔁 Contradictions + sample sizes (Up-days / Down-days)
🎯 Direction logic (Up/Down)
Anchor: 13:00 open (pmOpen) ⏰
Threshold: ATR × multiple or % from 13:00
Close ≥ pmOpen + threshold → Up-day
Close ≤ pmOpen − threshold → Down-day
Tiny moves under the threshold are ignored to reduce noise 🧹
⚙️ Inputs
🌐 Timezone: America/New_York (DST handled)
🍽️ Lunch window: 1200–1300
🕓 Post-lunch window: default 1300–1600 (try 17:00/20:00 for sensitivity)
📐 Trend threshold: ATR / Percent (with length/multiple or % level)
📅 Weekdays-only toggle (FX/Equities style)
👁️ Display toggles: Lunch box / sweep arrows / sweep text / sweep candle box / stats table
🔔 TF hint when chart TF > 15m
🧭 How to use
Use 5–15m charts for accurate lunch range capture.
Scroll ~1 year for meaningful samples.
Run sensitivity checks: vary ATR/% thresholds and the post-lunch end time.
For crypto, compare with vs without weekends. 🚀
🧠 Reading the results
High P(L-swept | Up) with a solid Up-day count ⇒ on up afternoons, lunch low is often swept.
High P(H-swept | Down) ⇒ on down afternoons, lunch high is often swept.
Lower Contradictions = cleaner tendency.
Remember: this is a probabilistic tendency, not a rule. 🎲
📝 Notes & limits
All markers (arrows, text, sweep boxes) are bar-anchored; the lunch range box is a research overlay you can toggle.
Real-time vs historical bar building can differ—interpret on bar close. 🔒

ICT Premium/Discount Zones [Exponential-X]Premium/Discount Zones - Visual Market Structure Tool
Overview
This indicator helps traders visualize premium and discount price zones based on recent market structure. It automatically identifies swing highs and lows within a specified lookback period and divides the price range into three key areas: Premium Zone, Equilibrium, and Discount Zone.
What This Indicator Does
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates:
Highest High and Lowest Low within the lookback period
Equilibrium Level - the midpoint between the swing high and low
Premium Zone - the area from equilibrium to the swing high (typically viewed as relatively expensive price levels)
Discount Zone - the area from the swing low to equilibrium (typically viewed as relatively cheap price levels)
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses pivot point logic to identify significant swing highs and lows based on the pivot strength parameter. It then calculates the highest high and lowest low over the specified lookback period. The equilibrium is computed as the arithmetic mean of these two extremes, creating a fair value reference point.
The zones are dynamically updated as new price data becomes available, ensuring the visualization remains relevant to current market conditions.
Key Features
Dynamic Zone Detection
Automatically adjusts zones based on recent price action
Uses customizable lookback period for flexibility across different timeframes
Employs pivot strength parameter to filter out minor price fluctuations
Visual Clarity
Color-coded zones for easy identification (red for premium, green for discount)
Optional equilibrium line display
Adjustable zone label placement
Customizable color schemes to match your charting preferences
Alert Capabilities
Alerts when price enters the premium zone
Alerts when price enters the discount zone
Alerts when price returns to equilibrium
Helps traders monitor key zone interactions without constant chart watching
Customization Options
Adjustable lookback period (5-500 bars)
Configurable pivot strength for swing detection (1-20 bars)
Control over box extension into the future
Toggle labels and equilibrium line on/off
Full color customization for all visual elements
How to Use This Indicator
Setup
Add the indicator to your chart
Adjust the lookback period to match your trading timeframe (shorter for intraday, longer for swing trading)
Set pivot strength to filter out noise (higher values for major swings, lower for more frequent updates)
Customize colors and labels to your preference
Interpretation
Premium Zone: Price trading here may indicate potential resistance or selling opportunities when aligned with other technical factors
Discount Zone: Price trading here may indicate potential support or buying opportunities when aligned with other technical factors
Equilibrium: Acts as a fair value reference point where price often consolidates or reacts
Trading Applications
This tool works well when combined with other forms of analysis such as:
Trend identification indicators
Volume analysis
Support and resistance levels
Price action patterns
Market structure analysis
Important Considerations
This indicator identifies zones based purely on historical price data
Premium and discount zones are relative to the recent lookback period
The effectiveness varies across different market conditions and timeframes
Should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not in isolation
Past price structure does not guarantee future price behavior
Technical Details
Calculation Method
Uses Pine Script's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions for swing detection
Employs ta.highest() and ta.lowest() for range calculation
Updates dynamically with each new bar
Draws zones using box objects for clear visual representation
Performance Optimization
Efficiently manages box and line objects to minimize resource usage
Uses conditional plotting to reduce unnecessary calculations
Limited to essential visual elements for chart clarity
Timeframe Compatibility
This indicator works on all timeframes but the recommended settings vary:
1-5 minute charts: Lookback period 10-20, Pivot strength 3-5
15-60 minute charts: Lookback period 20-50, Pivot strength 5-10
Daily charts: Lookback period 50-100, Pivot strength 10-15
Weekly charts: Lookback period 20-50, Pivot strength 5-10
Adjust these values based on the volatility of your specific instrument.
Limitations and Considerations
What This Indicator Does NOT Do
Does not provide buy or sell signals on its own
Does not predict future price movements
Does not account for fundamental factors or market events
Does not guarantee profitability or accuracy
Market Condition Awareness
In strong trending markets, price may remain in premium or discount zones for extended periods
During ranging conditions, price typically oscillates between zones more predictably
High volatility can cause frequent zone recalculations
Low volatility may result in narrow zones with limited practical use
Risk Considerations
Premium and discount are relative concepts, not absolute values
What appears as a discount zone may continue lower in a downtrend
What appears as a premium zone may continue higher in an uptrend
Always use proper risk management and position sizing
Consider multiple timeframe analysis for context
Version Information
This indicator is written in Pine Script v6, ensuring compatibility with the latest TradingView features and optimal performance.
Final Notes
This tool is designed to enhance your market analysis by providing a clear visual representation of premium and discount price zones. It should be used as one component of a well-rounded trading approach that includes proper risk management, multiple forms of analysis, and realistic expectations about market behavior.
The concept of premium and discount zones is rooted in auction market theory and the idea that price oscillates around fair value. However, traders should understand that these zones are interpretive tools based on historical data and do not constitute trading advice or predictions about future price action.
Remember to backtest any strategy using this indicator on historical data before applying it to live trading, and always trade responsibly within your risk tolerance.
Disclaimer: The information provided by this indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Always conduct your own research and consult with qualified financial professionals before making trading decisions.
ICT Bias (Dynamic Timeframe By Hayk Trading)This indicator designed to offer context, not signals, helping traders stay aligned with the broader directional flow of the market.
Bias States:
Bullish: Market conditions favor higher prices during the trading day.
Bearish: Market conditions favor lower prices during the trading day.
Neutral: No clear directional advantage is present.
This tool is intended to support:
Directional filtering for intraday trading
Improved trade discipline
Reduced overtrading in unfavorable conditions
The Daily Bias does not predict price, provide entries, or guarantee outcomes. It simply highlights the prevailing directional environment for the session.
Use it as a decision-support tool, not as a standalone trading system.

ICT Quant-Core: Liquidity Intelligence [Dual-Engine]🔥 THE ULTIMATE LIQUIDITY FILTERING ENGINE
Most SMC traders lose money because they "catch falling knives" on every local wick. This algorithm solves this problem by using DUAL-CORE logic and a signal quality scoring system.
This is no ordinary pivot indicator.
⚙️ HOW DOES IT WORK? (DUAL-CORE LOGIC)
The algorithm analyzes the market on two levels simultaneously:
1️⃣ MACRO CORE (Lookback 50 - "WHALE 🐋")
Tracks key levels from recent weeks/months.
This is where institutions build their positions.
Signals from this core have the highest priority (Score 10/10).
2️⃣ LOCAL CORE (Lookback 20 - "ROACH 🐟")
Tracks internal market structure and noise.
Signals are filtered by the Main Trend. If the trend is down, Local Longs are marked as "TRAP."
🧠 SMART FILTERS (QUANT LAYERS)
Instead of entering on every line touch, the script requires confirmation:
✅ RECLAIM LOGIC: Price must close back above/below the liquidity level (Swing Failure Pattern).
✅ RVOL FILTER: Requires relative volume > 1.2x the average (institutional track).
✅ SCORING SYSTEM (0-10): Each signal receives a score.
- 10/10: Macro Grab in line with the trend + high volume.
- 3/10: Local Grab against the trend (risky).
📊 ANALYTICAL DASHBOARD
In the lower right corner, you'll find the "Command Center":
- Trend Status (Distribution/Accumulation)
- Whale's Last Move (Price and Direction)
- Current Tactics (e.g., "Ignore Longs, Search for Shorts")
- Filter Status (RSI, Volume, Reclaim)
🚀 HOW TO USE IT?
1. Set the H4 timeframe.
2. Wait for a signal with a rating > 7/10.
3. Ignore "Fish/Local" signals (small icons) if they contradict the Dashboard color.
4. Entry occurs only after the candle closes (Reclaim).

TIMEZONE (ESSENTIAL)
- Use Exchange Timezone (symbol):
- ON = uses the asset's native timezone (auto DST)
- OFF = uses the fixed timezone set in "Fixed Timezone" (e.g., America/New_York)
- This realigns Midnight, NY 8:30, and Sessions on the chart.
MIDNIGHT & NY 8:30
- Midnight: anchors the day's price (above = buyer bias; below = seller bias, in context).
- NY 8:30: institutional flow/volatility window; often sets the session's pace.
- Optional: enable "History" and "Past-day Labels" to compare days.
SESSIONS
- Enable only what you use (Asia, CBDR, London, NY, LC) and adjust times.
- If the chart gets heavy, temporarily turn "Show Boxes" OFF.
MAKERS LEVELS (VALUE/DECISION REGIONS)
- Turn on "Project Makers Levels (±) " and select per session.
- Projects: key levels x the session's range (both directions).
- Uses: targets, partials, breather/reversal. Note: CBDR-based projections are often well respected.
DEVIATIONS (± MULTIPLES OF THE SESSION RANGE)
How to configure:
- Turn "Show Deviations" ON.
- Set "Number of Deviations" (how many multiples to project).
- Choose which sessions get deviations (Asia, CBDR, London, NY, LC).
Practical read:
- Targets for continuation (range expansion) or breather/fade zones when price is extended.
- Combine with structure (HH/HL/LH/LL), Midnight/NY 8:30, FVGs, OBs, and visible liquidity (equal highs/lows).
Pro tip:
- The more impulsive the break of the session range, the higher the chance of reaching ±1x; ±2x and beyond need flow confirmation.
ROUND NUMBERS & WATERMARK (OPTIONAL)
- Round Numbers: price-step lines (e.g., every 500 ticks).
- Watermark: custom text and/or Ticker+Timeframe.
PERFORMANCE
- If heavy: disable unused sessions, Text/Pips in boxes, or "Show Boxes".
