ICT OTE Strategy Crypto PublicICT OTE Strategy Crypto Public
This strategy automates a classic ICT (Inner Circle Trader) setup specifically tailored for the high-volatility nature of cryptocurrency markets. It aims to enter a trade on a retracement after a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS), using a dual-swing detection method to validate the market's direction before looking for an entry.
The entire process is automated, from identifying the market structure to managing the trade with advanced risk management options. This version uses a percentage of equity for its order sizing, which is ideal for crypto trading.
How It Works
Dual Swing Detection: The strategy uses two different sets of swing strengths to analyze market structure for higher accuracy:
Entry Swings: Weaker, more sensitive swings used to define the immediate dealing range for a potential trade.
Validator Swings: Stronger, more significant swings used to confirm a true Break of Structure.
Break of Structure (BOS): A trade setup is only considered valid after a strong "Validator" swing breaks through a previous "Entry" swing. This confirms the market's intended direction and filters out weak or false moves.
Identify Retracement Leg: After a confirmed BOS, the strategy identifies the most recent "Entry Swing" price leg that led to the break.
Auto-Fibonacci: It automatically draws a Fibonacci retracement over this leg, from the start of the move (1.0) to the end (0.0).
Trade Entry: A limit order is placed at a user-defined Fibonacci level (defaulting to 0.618), anticipating a price pullback into a discount or premium array.
After a bullish BOS, it looks to BUY the retracement.
After a bearish BOS, it looks to SELL the retracement.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss is placed at the start of the leg (the 1.0 level).
Take Profit is placed at a user-defined level (defaulting to the 0.0 level, with extension options).
Includes an option to move the stop loss to break-even after the trade has moved a certain distance in profit.
How to Use
Asset Selection: This strategy is designed for cryptocurrency markets. Its use of percentage-based order sizing is not suitable for tick-based markets like futures.
Swing Settings: Adjust the "Entry Swing" and "Validator" strengths to match the volatility and timeframe of the asset you are trading. Higher numbers will result in fewer, more significant setups.
Backtest: Use the Strategy Tester to optimize the "FIB Entry Level," "Take Profit Level," and "Swing Sensitivity" to find the best settings for your specific market and timeframe.
ICT OTE Strategy Futures PublicICT OTE Strategy
This strategy automates a classic ICT (Inner Circle Trader) setup that aims to enter a trade on a retracement after a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS). It is designed to identify high-probability setups by waiting for the market to show its hand before looking for an entry within a "discount" or "premium" array.
The entire process is automated, from identifying the market structure to managing the trade with a dynamic stop loss.
How It Works
Break of Structure (BOS): The strategy first waits for a strong, validated swing to break a previous, weaker swing high or low. This confirms the market's intended direction.
Identify Retracement Leg: After a BOS, the strategy identifies the most recent price leg that led to the break.
Auto-Fibonacci: It automatically draws a Fibonacci retracement over this leg, from the start of the move (1.0) to the end (0.0).
Trade Entry: A limit order is placed at a user-defined Fibonacci level (defaulting to 0.508), anticipating a price pullback.
After a bullish BOS, it looks to BUY the retracement.
After a bearish BOS, it looks to SELL the retracement.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss is placed at the start of the leg (the 1.0 level).
Take Profit is placed at a user-defined level (defaulting to the 0.0 level).
Includes an option to move the stop loss to break-even after the trade has moved a certain distance in profit.
How to Use
Swing Settings: Adjust the "Entry Swing" and "Validator" strengths to match the volatility and timeframe of the asset you are trading. Higher numbers will result in fewer, more significant setups.
Session Filter: Use the "Trading Sessions" filter to align the strategy with ICT's "killzone" concept, ensuring trades are only taken during high-volume periods like the New York session.
Backtest: Use the Strategy Tester to optimize the "FIB Entry Level," "Take Profit Level," and "Min Trade Range" to find the best settings for your specific market and timeframe.
Fractal Market Model [BLAZ]Version 1.0 – Published August 2025: Initial release
1. Overview & Purpose
1.1. What This Indicator Does
The Fractal Market Model is an original multi-timeframe technical analysis tool that bridges the critical gap between macro-level market structure and micro-level price execution. Designed to work across all financial markets including Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Futures, and Commodities. While traditional Smart Money Concepts indicators exist, this implementation analyses multi-timeframe liquidity zones and price action shifts, marking potential reversal points where Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity sweeps coincide with Low Timeframe (LTF) price action dynamics changes.
Snapshot details: NASDAQ:GOOG , 1W Timeframe, Year 2025
1.2. What Sets This Indicator Apart
The Fractal Market Model analyses multi-timeframe correlations between HTF structural events and LTF price action. This creates a dynamic framework that reveals patterns observed historically in price behaviour that are believed to reflect institutional activity across multiple time dimensions.
The indicator recognizes that markets move in fractal cycles following the AMDX pattern (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal). By tracking this pattern across timeframes, it flags zones where price action dynamics characteristics have historically shown shifts. In the LTF, the indicator monitors for price closing through the open of an opposing candle near HTF swing highs or lows, marking this as a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), a threshold event where price action historically transitions direction.
Practical Value:
Multi-Timeframe Integration: Connects HTF structural events with LTF execution patterns.
Fractal Pattern Recognition: Identifies AMDX cycles across different time dimensions.
Price Behavior Analysis: Tracks CISD patterns that may reflect historical shifts in order flow commonly associated with institutional activity.
Range-Based Context: Analyses price action within established HTF liquidity zones.
1.3. How It Works
The indicator employs a systematic 5-candle HTF tracking methodology:
Candles 0-1: Accumulation phase identification.
Candle 2: Manipulation detection (raids previous highs/lows).
Candle 3: Distribution phase recognition.
Candle 4: Continuation/reversal toward opposite liquidity.
The system monitors for CISD patterns on the LTF when HTF manipulation candles close with confirmed sweeps, highlighting zones where order flow dynamics historically shifted within the established HTF range.

SMC TimingThis indicator (“SMC Timing”) visually marks the exact moments when the market typically experiences large liquidity injections—moments that often trigger strong directional moves. By plotting dashed vertical lines and labels at key session boundaries and news events (Frankfurt open, London open, EU mid-session pause, Pre-US, US open, 14:30 U.S. news releases, 15:00 breakout window, and the London close), it draws your attention to the times when stop-runs and institutional orders tend to pile into the market.
Traders can use these timing zones to:
Anticipate liquidity sweeps where smart-money often liquidates weak positions or hunts stops.
Plan higher-probability entries just before or directly after these injections, reducing slippage and improving execution.
Improve win-rate consistency by aligning your trades with the natural ebb and flow of institutional flow rather than fading it.
With customizable session toggles, a “today-only” filter, and a small vertical offset to keep markers clear of price bars, this tool seamlessly integrates into any chart. Positioning yourself around these highlighted times helps you capture the bulk of intraday moves and avoids getting caught in low-liquidity chop.

ICT Liquidity Pools SSL BSLParent Swings - ICT Liquidity Pools (BSL & SSL)
This indicator is designed to cut through the noise of the market and identify truly significant swing points. Instead of marking every minor high and low, it uses the powerful logic of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) breaker patterns to validate and draw only the "Parent Swings" that matter. These are the key liquidity pools that often act as the market's next target.
The Concept: Price Moves from Pool to Pool
A core concept taught by ICT is that price doesn't move randomly; it moves with purpose. The market is engineered to move from one pool of liquidity to the next.
Buy Side Liquidity (BSL): This is a pool of stop-loss orders resting just above a significant swing high. The market is often drawn upwards to "sweep" this liquidity.
Sell Side Liquidity (SSL): This is a pool of stop-loss orders resting just below a significant swing low. The market is often drawn downwards to sweep this liquidity.
This indicator identifies these key BSL and SSL levels after they have been confirmed by a shift in market structure, giving you a clear map of potential targets.
How It Works
The indicator doesn't just look for any swing high or low. It waits for a specific sequence of events to confirm that a swing is a "Parent Swing" and a valid liquidity pool:
Liquidity Sweep: First, it looks for a classic liquidity raid. For a significant high (BSL), it needs to see a swing high get taken out by a higher high. For a significant low (SSL), it needs to see a swing low get taken out by a lower low.
Market Structure Shift (MSS): After the liquidity sweep, the indicator waits for confirmation that the market's intention has changed. This happens when price breaks aggressively in the opposite direction, creating a breaker block pattern.
Confirmation: Only when both the liquidity sweep and the market structure shift are confirmed does the indicator draw the line, marking the swing as a valid BSL or SSL level.
How to Use This Indicator
The primary use for this indicator is to identify targets. Once a BSL (red line) or SSL (green line) is established, you can anticipate that the market will eventually make a run for that level.
If you are in a long position, the next BSL line above you can serve as a logical take-profit target.
If you are in a short position, the next SSL line below you can serve as a logical take-profit target.
The labels (BSL/SSL) will always stay with the current price action for active levels, making it easy to see your targets at a glance.
Settings
Pivot Lookback: Controls the sensitivity of the swing detection. A higher number will find larger, more significant liquidity pools.
Invalidation Threshold (Crossings): This is a key feature. It sets how many times the price must cross through a liquidity level before it's considered "used up" or invalidated. Once invalidated, the line will dim and the label will disappear, keeping your chart clean.
Disclaimer: This is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. Always use proper risk management and integrate this indicator with your own trading strategy.

Ponelope v1.4 | Flow with the TrendThis strategy seeks precision long entries during structurally confirmed uptrends, leveraging multi-timeframe moving averages to align market context. Entry signals trigger only after price experiences a tactical pullback within an otherwise bullish regime—capturing value during temporary weakness rather than chasing highs.
A local trend is validated via a simple moving average, while a higher-timeframe confirmation ensures macro alignment. Stops are governed by a fallback volatility-based level, and exits are enforced upon trend deterioration, reducing exposure to sharp reversals. The result is a durable, context-aware system that adapts across market cycles and emphasizes capital protection while seeking asymmetric reward setups.

[eLm] 0-1-2# 📈 Market Structure Indicator – Counter System
This indicator dynamically analyzes price action to detect key market structure shifts and trend strength using four essential formations:
## 🔍 Detected Structures
- **Higher High (HH):** A candle forming a new high above recent peaks
- **Lower Low (LL):** A candle forming a new low below recent bottoms
- **Higher Low (HL):** A higher dip, indicating potential trend continuation
- **Lower High (LH):** A lower peak, signaling potential weakness
## 🧠 Structure Protection Logic
After a HH or LL is formed, if price does not breach that level within a user-defined number of candles, the level is considered **"protected."**
This provides insight into trend strength and market reaction.
## 🔢 HL / LH Counter System
- Each HL or LH increases a counter.
- A new HH or LL **resets** the corresponding counter to zero.
> This helps visualize how many consecutive HL or LH structures have occurred — useful for measuring trend momentum.
## 🎯 Use Cases
- Trend following and confirmation
- Early trend reversal detection
- Building structure-based trading strategies
- Understanding price behavior and market intent

Auto Trendlines [AlgoXcalibur]Effortlessly visualize trendlines.
This algorithm does more than just draw lines connecting structural swing points — it reveals dynamic support & resistance breakouts with clarity and precision while significantly reducing your workload compared to the hassle of manually drawing trendlines.
🧠 Algorithm Logic
This advanced Auto Trendlines indicator delivers clear market structure through an intelligent multi-fractal design, revealing useful swing structures in real time. For those seeking maximum awareness, the optional Micro Trendlines (Dotted) constantly monitors even the most recent and minor structural shifts — keeping you fully in tune with evolving market dynamics. A Break Detection Engine constantly monitors each trendline and provides instant visual feedback when structural integrity is lost: broken lines turn gray, stop extending, and remain visible to enhance clarity and situational awareness. The algorithm is carefully refined to prevent chart distortion commonly caused by forcing entire trendline structures into view — preserving a natural and accurate charting experience. To further ensure optimal readability, an integrated Clutter Control mechanism limits the number of visible trendlines — focusing attention only on the most relevant structures.
⚙️ User-Selectable Features
• Micro Trendlines (Dotted): Ultra-responsive short-term trendlines that react to even the smallest structural shifts — ideal for staying ahead of early trend changes.
• Broken Trendline Declutter: Enable to display only the most recent broken trendlines to simplify chart visuals and maintain clarity, or disable to analyze previous price action.
💡 Modern Innovation
Auto Trendline indicators are often inaccurate, clumsy, and rely on slow methods that fail to adapt. AlgoXcalibur’s Auto Trendline indicator takes a modern, refined approach — combining smart pivot logic for both speed and stability, dynamic break detection with clear visual cues, and displaying only the most relevant trendlines while prioritizing accuracy, preventing distortion, and reducing clutter — automatically.

High-Timeframe Levels (Monthly/Red, Weekly/Orange): Use these major zones to identify significant market turning points, high-probability reversal areas, and logical take-profit targets for swing trades.
Mid-Timeframe Levels (Daily): The yellow zones (most recent) represent the immediate battlefield. A decisive move beyond this area can set the tone for the session. The grey zones provide a historical map of prior daily structures.
Short-Timeframe Levels (12-Hour/Blue): Treat these as intraday targets. They often represent areas where stop-losses and liquidations might be clustered, making them magnets for price in the short term.
Disclaimer & Technical Notes

Technical Note on lookahead: This indicator correctly uses lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on when requesting higher-timeframe data. This is the standard, industry-accepted method to ensure that a completed historical value (e.g., the previous day's high) is plotted consistently and accurately across all chart timeframes. It does not "repaint" in the conventional sense of changing past signals, but rather ensures data stability.

Liquidity Point LinesLiquidity Point Lines
The "Liquidity Point Lines" indicator helps traders identify potential areas of liquidity in the market by drawing lines at specific price levels where significant "liquidation events" may have occurred. These events are determined by analyzing the MACD Histogram and identifying pivot points that suggest strong movements, which are often associated with the flushing out of short or long positions.
How It Works
This indicator leverages the MACD Histogram to gauge the strength of price momentum. It then identifies pivot highs and lows within the MACD Histogram's values. When a significant pivot is detected, the indicator interprets this as a potential "liquidity point" — a price level where a substantial amount of buy or sell orders (often due to liquidations) may have been executed.
The indicator distinguishes between:
Shorts Liquidation Points (Resistance): These are identified when the MACD Histogram registers a pivot high, suggesting a strong upward movement that could have liquidated short positions. Lines are drawn at the high price of the bar where this pivot occurred.
Longs Liquidation Points (Support): Conversely, these are identified when the MACD Histogram registers a pivot low, indicating a strong downward movement that might have liquidated long positions. Lines are drawn at the low price of the bar where this pivot occurred.
Key Features and Settings
The "Liquidity Point Lines" indicator offers extensive customization to tailor its sensitivity and visual representation:
MACD Settings for Liquidity: Configure the underlying MACD calculation with adjustable Fast Length, Slow Length, Source, Signal Smoothing, and MA Types (SMA/EMA) for both the Oscillator and Signal Line.
Liquidity Points Settings:
Pivot Lookback Left/Right: Define the number of bars to look back on either side to identify a pivot in the MACD Histogram.
Dynamic Strength Thresholds: This powerful feature allows the indicator to dynamically calculate the significance of a liquidation event. When enabled, it uses the average absolute histogram value over a specified Dynamic Threshold Lookback Period and applies Small and Medium Threshold Factors to determine the strength (Small, Medium, or Large) of the liquidity point.
Fixed Strength Thresholds: If dynamic thresholds are disabled, you can set fixed numerical values for Small and Medium Histogram Thresholds to define the strength categories.
Color & Style Customization: Assign distinct colors for Small, Medium, and Large liquidation points, choose the Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and set the Label Text Color.
Label X Offset (To Right): Adjust the horizontal position of the liquidity point labels on your chart.
Liquidity Points Management:
Max Active Liquidity Lines: Control the maximum number of liquidity lines displayed simultaneously on your chart. Older lines are automatically removed to maintain clarity, except for lines that have been "touched" (i.e., price has interacted with that liquidity level).
Visual Interpretation
Each liquidity line is colored according to the strength of the detected liquidation event, making it easy to visually assess the potential significance of the price level. Lines extend to the right, serving as ongoing reference points. When the price interacts with a liquidity line (i.e., "touches" it), the line and its corresponding label are removed, indicating that the liquidity at that level may have been absorbed.
This indicator can be a valuable tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels, understanding market reactions to "liquidation cascades," and informing your trading decisions.
Obsession.FX Sessions IndicatorSession & Fractal Structure Tool — for Market Phases and Microstructure Analysis
This script combines session timeframes with local fractal identification to help traders analyze market context and structural shifts. It is designed for those applying Smart Money Concepts, where precise session boundaries and reactions to key levels are critical.
Session Zones
The script visualizes the three main trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It helps to:
– identify active phases of market participation;
– track each session’s Highs and Lows;
– interpret price behavior in relation to intraday liquidity shifts.
Each session is fully customizable — including start/end time, background and border colors, and display style (box, high/low lines, filled zones).
Fractal Structure
Fractals are shown as local highs and lows, supporting:
– detection of BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes;
– building A→B ranges for structural flow;
– confirming short-term directional changes.
The fractal algorithm is optimized for responsiveness and clarity, with no repainting and minimal delay.
Purpose and Usage
This tool is intended for contextual reading of price action: determining the active session and monitoring price behavior within its boundaries, with a focus on microstructural reactions. It supports building precise entry logic based on the interaction between session ranges and fractal structure.
Closed Source Justification
The script is closed-source due to its use of proprietary logic for fractal detection and session integration, developed as part of a private trading methodology not available in public libraries.
Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)Core Concept
Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed smoothing factors, FRAMA adapts its responsiveness based on how "fractal" or chaotic the price movement is:
In trending markets (low fractal dimension), it becomes more responsive
In choppy/sideways markets (high fractal dimension), it becomes smoother
How It Works
1. Fractal Dimension Calculation:
Splits the lookback period into two halves
Calculates price ranges for each half and the total period
Uses logarithmic ratios to determine the fractal dimension (bounded between 1.0 and 2.0)
2. Dynamic Alpha Calculation:
Converts fractal dimension to a smoothing factor (alpha)
Higher fractal dimension = lower alpha = smoother average
Lower fractal dimension = higher alpha = more responsive average
3. Adaptive Smoothing:
Applies the calculated alpha to create the moving average
FRAMA = alpha × current_price + (1 - alpha) × previous_FRAMA
Key Parameters
Length (16): Lookback period for calculations
Fast Constant (4.0): Maximum responsiveness limit
Slow Constant (300.0): Minimum responsiveness limit
Visual Features
Line Color: Green when rising, red when falling
Background: Light green above FRAMA (bullish), light red below (bearish)
Information Table: Shows current FRAMA value, price, trend direction, and efficiency ratio
Close Price: Plotted as a semi-transparent white line for comparison
Trading Applications
FRAMA is particularly useful for:
Trend Following: More responsive in strong trends, less noisy in consolidations
Support/Resistance: Acts as dynamic support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
Market Regime Detection: The efficiency ratio helps identify trending vs. ranging markets
Entry/Exit Signals: Crossovers and price position relative to FRAMA
The indicator automatically balances between being fast enough to catch trends early while being smooth enough to avoid false signals in choppy markets.
In this FRAMA script, fractal refers to measuring the complexity or "roughness" of price movements over time, not the self-similar geometric patterns we typically think of.
What the Script Measures
The script calculates a fractal dimension that quantifies how chaotic or smooth the price action is:
Low fractal dimension (closer to 1.0): Price moves in a relatively straight, trending manner
High fractal dimension (closer to 2.0): Price moves in a jagged, choppy, sideways manner.
The Logic
If the market is trending smoothly:
The sum of the two half-period ranges will be close to the total range
This gives a fractal dimension closer to 1.0
The indicator becomes more responsive (faster)
If the market is choppy/sideways:
The sum of the two half-period ranges will be much larger than the total range
This gives a fractal dimension closer to 2.0
The indicator becomes less responsive (smoother)
Practical Example
Imagine a 16-period lookback:
Trending market: Price goes from 100 → 116 steadily
Choppy market: Price bounces 100→108→102→114→106→116
The choppy market has a higher fractal dimension because there's more "path length" relative to the actual distance traveled.
Why This Matters
The fractal dimension becomes the adaptive mechanism that automatically adjusts the moving average's sensitivity based on current market conditions - making it faster in trends and smoother in consolidations.
what is efficiency that is shown in tables
The efficiency shown in the table measures how "efficient" or smooth the FRAMA line is compared to the actual price movement.
What It Means
Efficiency = FRAMA Movement ÷ Price Movement
Values close to 0: FRAMA is very smooth/stable while price is moving significantly
Values close to 1: FRAMA is moving almost as much as the price
Values > 1: FRAMA is moving more than the raw price (rare, usually in very short periods)
Practical Interpretation
Low Efficiency (0.1 - 0.3):
FRAMA is doing a good job of smoothing out noise
Market is likely choppy/sideways
The adaptive mechanism is working - keeping the average stable during consolidation
High Efficiency (0.7 - 1.0):
FRAMA is closely following price movements
Market is likely trending strongly
The adaptive mechanism is making the average more responsive
Medium Efficiency (0.3 - 0.7):
Balanced market conditions
FRAMA is providing moderate smoothing
Trading Context
This efficiency ratio helps you understand:
Market regime: Is this a trending or ranging market?
Signal quality: Low efficiency periods might produce fewer but higher-quality signals
Adaptive performance: How well the FRAMA is adapting to current conditions
For example, if you see efficiency at 0.15, it means the FRAMA moved only 15% as much as the price did in the last bar, indicating it's successfully filtering out noise in a choppy market. If efficiency is 0.85, the FRAMA is closely tracking price, suggesting a trending environment where you want the average to be responsive.
