Smcindicator — Indicators and Strategies

ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1 ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps. ### 🔍 **What It Does** - Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts: - AM Macro (09:50–10:10) - London Close (10:50–11:10) - Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30) - PM Macro (14:50–15:10) - London SB (03:00–04:00) - PM SB (15:00–16:00) - Each zone: - **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session. - **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries. - **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional). - **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes. ### 🧠 **How It Works** - Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color. - Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context. - High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window. - Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place. - All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts. ### 🛠️ **Settings** - **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box. - **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends. - **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session. ### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique** Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool: - Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times. - Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows. - Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies. Perfect — based on your list, here's a **bundle-style description** that not only explains the function of each script but also shows how they **work together** in a Smart Money/ICT workflow. This kind of cross-script explanation is exactly what TradingView wants to see to justify closed-source mashups or interdependent tools. --- 📚 ICT SMC Toolkit — Script Integration Guide This set of advanced Smart Money Concept (SMC) tools is designed for traders who follow ICT-based methodologies, combining liquidity theory, time-based precision, and engineered confluences for high-probability trades.

Watch for signals at key highs/lows, session extremes, or zones where liquidity is likely resting. Combine with tools like FVGs, Order Blocks, and OTE zones for layered confirmation. 🔗 Combine With These Tools for a Complete SMC Edge: ✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector ✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels ✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows Together, these tools form a high-precision Smart Money toolkit — helping traders map, anticipate, and act on institutional-level liquidity events with clarity and confidence.

ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System Overview: The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones. This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move. 🔍 What This Script Does 🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic) The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback. A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal. A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction. 📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction. Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations. 🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering Only show signals during institutional trading hours: London Session New York AM Or any custom user-defined session Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur. 🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional) Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies. Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification. 🎨 Visual Feedback Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles. Optionally displays: Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL) Reversal distance labels Background color shading on valid signals Includes built-in alerts for automated trade notification. 🔑 Unique Benefits Wick Trap Detection: A proprietary approach to detecting stop hunts via wick behavior, not just candle closes. ATR-based trend filtering: Avoids unnecessary filtering while still maintaining directional bias. All-in-one system: No need to stack multiple indicators — swing detection, reversal logic, session filtering, and imbalance confirmation are all integrated. 💡 How to Use Enable Wick Trap Mode to detect stealthy liquidity grabs with strong wicks. Use Kill Zone filters to trade only when institutions are active. Optionally enable FVG confluence to improve confidence in reversal zones. Watch for Bullish signals near SL levels and Bearish signals near SH levels. Combine with your own execution strategy or other SMC tools for optimal results. 🔗 Best Used With: Maximize your edge by combining this script with complementary SMC-based tools: ✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector ✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels ✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Highs and Lows with horizontal line projections

ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals. 🔍 What This Script Does: Identifies Swing Highs & Lows Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period. Tracks Liquidity Grabs A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it. A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it. These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing. Plots Signals Directly on the Chart Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels. Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling. Includes Alert Conditions Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time. ⚙️ Customization Features: Adjustable swing lookback period Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels Set label font size Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors 💡 How to Use: Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m). Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone. Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups. Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals. 🧠 Why It Works: Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries. 🔗 Best Used With: Maximize the edge by combining this with other SMC tools: ✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector ✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels ✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows Together, they create a complete ecosystem for identifying, confirming, and executing liquidity-driven trade setups with precision.

Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Low Detection Efficient Liquidity Sweep Visualization for Smart Money Traders This script automatically identifies and plots liquidity-rich swing lows based on pivot logic, filters them to remove redundant levels, and overlays daily highs/lows for added context — giving Smart Money Concept (SMC) traders a clean, actionable map of liquidity. It’s designed to be minimal yet powerful: perfect for spotting potential liquidity grabs, mitigation zones, and sweep targets with zero chart clutter. 🔍 What This Script Does: Detects Smart Swing Lows Uses fixed pivot detection (left = 3, right = customizable) to identify structurally significant swing lows. Filters out swing lows that are too close together using a percentage-based spacing threshold to reduce noise. Mitigation Cleanup Logic Tracks whether recent price action breaches past swing lows. If breached, the swing level is automatically removed, keeping only relevant, unmitigated liquidity levels on your chart. Plots Daily Highs and Lows Each new trading day, horizontal rays mark the prior day’s high and low — useful for identifying resting liquidity and possible sweep zones. Labeling and Style Customization Optional labels for swing lows. Full control over label size, color, and visibility to match any chart aesthetic. Timeframe Filtering Runs exclusively on 5m, 10m, and 15m charts to ensure optimal reliability and signal clarity. ⚙️ Customization Features: Pivot sensitivity (Right side control) Minimum distance between swing lows (in %) Label visibility, size, and color Line width and colors for both swing levels and daily highs/lows Mitigation cleanup lookback length 💡 How to Use: Add the script to a qualifying intraday chart (5–15m). Use the swing low levels to monitor liquidity-rich zones. Combine with your personal strategy to identify liquidity grabs, potential reversal zones, or entry points following a sweep. Let the built-in cleanup logic remove any already-mitigated levels so you can focus on active targets. 🚀 What Makes It Unique: This isn’t just another pivot plotter — it’s a smart, self-cleaning SMC tool designed for modern liquidity-based trading strategies. A must-have for traders using concepts like liquidity grabs, mitigation blocks, or sweep-to-reverse trade models. 🔗 Best used in combination with: ✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector: Pinpoint the day’s first imbalance zone for intraday setups. ✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels: Confluence-based entries powered by liquidity logic, order blocks, and premium/discount zones. Used together, these scripts form a complete Smart Money toolkit — helping you build high-probability setups with confidence, clarity, and clean charts.

First FVG Custom Time Range First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day. 🔍 What This Script Does: Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms. Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view. Draws a Visual Zone Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration). A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session. Optional Retest Alerts Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders. Customization Options Set your preferred session time window Adjust zone duration (in bars) Customize label font size, colors, and visibility Enable/disable alert on retest 📈 Why the First FVG Matters: Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open. Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session. Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis. Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold. 🚀 What Makes It Unique: This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range. Use it to: Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies Plan journal entries and pattern recognition Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBs ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels Smart Money Concepts Trading Assistant This script is built for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts.
