MTF SMC / ICT Market State Engine# MTF SMC / ICT Market State & Reversal Dashboard
A multi-timeframe market-structure dashboard designed for traders using **Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, liquidity and price-action analysis**.
The indicator combines structural information across **1D, 4H, 15M and 1M** into a single compact dashboard, helping traders identify the current **directional bias, market stage, liquidity condition and potential reversals** without having to manually compare multiple timeframes.
### What the Dashboard Shows
For each timeframe, the dashboard displays:
* **Bias** — Bullish, Bearish or Neutral
* **Structure** — HH/HL, LH/LL, BOS, MSS or CHOCH
* **Market Stage** — Accumulation, Liquidity Build, Manipulation, Confirmed Shift, Expansion, Retracement, Continuation, Exhaustion, Distribution or Reversal
* **Liquidity** — BSL, SSL, EQH, EQL and recently swept liquidity
* **Reversal State** — Normal, Reversal Warning, Reversal Developing or Confirmed Reversal
* **Structural Confidence** — Low, Medium or High
### Multi-Timeframe Bias
The indicator treats each timeframe according to its role in the market hierarchy:
**1D → Macro Bias**
**4H → Primary/Intraday Bias**
**15M → Setup & Market Structure**
**1M → Execution Structure**
This allows the indicator to distinguish between a genuine trend reversal and a simple lower-timeframe retracement.
For example:
**1D Bullish → 4H Bullish → 15M Bearish → 1M Bearish**
may be classified as:
> **HTF BULLISH / LTF RETRACEMENT**
rather than incorrectly changing the overall bias to bearish.
### Reversal Detection
The indicator does not treat every liquidity sweep or MSS as a confirmed reversal.
Reversal conditions progress through four stages:
**Normal → Reversal Warning → Reversal Developing → Confirmed Reversal**
A stronger reversal requires multiple structural factors such as:
* Liquidity sweep
* Displacement
* MSS/CHOCH
* Protected high/low violation
* Structural follow-through
This helps separate **liquidity manipulation and retracement** from an actual change in market structure.
### Market-State Engine
Rather than displaying disconnected SMC signals, the indicator interprets them as part of a market cycle:
**Accumulation → Liquidity Build → Manipulation → Confirmed Shift → Expansion → Retracement → Continuation → Exhaustion → Reversal**
The purpose is to answer four key questions:
> **What is the market direction?**
> **What stage is the market currently in?**
> **Where is the relevant liquidity?**
> **Is the market continuing, retracing or beginning a reversal?**
### Designed for SMC / ICT Traders
The indicator is intended as a **market-analysis and decision-support tool**, not an automatic trading system.
It does not attempt to predict future price or provide guaranteed buy/sell signals. Instead, it organizes multi-timeframe structural information into a clear framework so traders can make more consistent discretionary decisions.
**Primary workflow:**
**1D Bias → 4H Structure → 15M Setup → 1M Confirmation → Liquidity → Market Stage → Reversal Status**

MTF Daily Bias DashboardOverview
The "MTF Daily Bias Dashboard" is a streamlined, non-intrusive utility designed specifically for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Multi-timeframe analysis is the backbone of finding high-probability setups, but constantly switching between charts to check the higher-timeframe narrative can lead to missed lower-timeframe entries.
This indicator solves that problem by providing a clean, customizable on-chart dashboard that displays real-time, objective market bias across three different timeframes simultaneously.
Core Features
Objective Bias Detection: Bias is determined mechanically using a customizable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and price action closes, removing emotion and guesswork from your directional bias.
Multi-Timeframe Synchronization: By default, it tracks the Daily (1D), 4-Hour (4H), and 15-Minute (15m) timeframes, giving you a complete top-down narrative at a glance.
Non-Repainting Logic: The multi-timeframe data is pulled securely, ensuring that historical signals remain accurate and current data does not repaint past the current candle formation.
Dynamic Visual Dashboard: A color-coded table (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish) provides immediate visual confirmation of market alignment.
How It Works
The indicator evaluates the current price action against your chosen baseline (EMA).
Bullish (Green):Price closes above the EMA, and the current candle closes higher than the previous candle.
Bearish (Red): Price closes below the EMA, and the current candle closes lower than the previous candle.
Confluence: When all three timeframes show the same color, you have high-probability directional alignment, perfect for looking for lower-timeframe sweeps, order blocks, or fair value gaps in the direction of the trend.
Customization & Settings
Timeframes: Fully adjustable inputs allow you to change the three monitored timeframes to fit your specific trading model (e.g., Weekly/Daily/1H or 4H/1H/5m).
Dashboard Positioning: You can move the dashboard to any corner of your chart to ensure it never obstructs current price action.
Trend Logic: Adjust the EMA length used to calculate the bias to make the indicator more or less sensitive to recent price action.
Who is this for?
This tool is ideal for SMC, ICT, and pure price action traders who rely on the daily narrative but execute on intraday timeframes. It keeps you aligned with the macro trend while you focus on micro executions. Indicator
Daily Bias | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW
Daily Bias is a session-based bias tool built to help traders understand whether the current session is more likely to be bullish, bearish, or neutral.
It tracks the key liquidity levels from the Asia, London, and New York sessions, along with important higher-timeframe levels like the previous 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily highs and lows. It then watches for sweeps of those levels, checks whether price rejects them or keeps moving, reads what the previous session likely did, and uses a simple lower-timeframe structure to confirm direction.
All of that is combined into one clear dashboard, so instead of only showing a bullish or bearish bias, the indicator also shows why that bias is being given.
[SCREENSHOT: Chart showing session zones, HTF liquidity lines, and the Daily Bias dashboard
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THIS INDICATOR?
The main idea behind this indicator is that one session often sets up the next one.
Price will often run above a known high or below a known low to take liquidity first. After that, the important question is whether the price keeps going, or rejects that move and turns back. That reaction gives a clue about the likely direction of the next session.
For example, if the previous session trades above a key high but then falls back below it, that shows rejection from the highs and can suggest bearish pressure for the current session. If the previous session trades below a key low but then climbs back above it, that shows rejection from the lows and can suggest bullish pressure for the current session.
This indicator reads that behavior automatically by looking at what the previous session did around important liquidity levels. It also keeps an eye on major intraday reference points like the previous 1-hour high and low, 4-hour high and low, and previous day high and low, because price often reacts around those areas.
Then it checks whether the market is starting to confirm that idea on lower timeframes. After that, everything is brought together into one final bias: bullish, bearish, or neutral. The dashboard does not just show the bias — it also shows the reasoning behind it, so traders can quickly understand why the indicator is leaning in a certain direction.

DAILY BIAS FEATURES
The Daily Bias indicator includes 9 main features:
Sessions Liquidity (Asia, London, NY)
Higher Timeframe Liquidity (1H, 4H, Previous Day)
Liquidity Level Labels
Sweep Markers
Historical Levels
Session Profile Classification
Lower Timeframe Structure Confirmation
Final Bias Engine
Daily Bias Dashboard
Each component operates independently while sharing the same underlying liquidity logic. All features feed into a unified dashboard that displays the current state of the bias decision, along with detailed tooltips on every cell.
SESSIONS LIQUIDITY
🔹 What Is a Session?
A session is a fixed time window within the trading day during which a major financial center is most active. The Asia session corresponds to the Tokyo trading window, London corresponds to the European morning, and NY corresponds to the US morning. Each session tends to deliver a characteristic style of price action, and the highs and lows formed inside them often act as draws on liquidity for the next session.
🔹 How the Indicator Tracks Sessions
The Daily Bias indicator tracks three key trading sessions and maps out each one directly on the chart with its own colored range, session high and low, and session label.
By default, the sessions are based on the New York time zone:
Asia: 20:00 – 22:00
London: 02:00 – 04:00
New York: 10:00 – 12:00
As soon as a session begins, the indicator starts building that session’s range in real time. It expands the zone as price moves and keeps updating the session high and session low until the session closes. Once the session is complete, the final high, low, open, and close of that session are saved and used later by the bias logic.
This matters because the completed session range becomes an important liquidity reference for the sessions that follow. In other words, the indicator is not just drawing session boxes for visuals, it is using those completed session highs and lows as part of the read on where price may want to trade next.
These session drawings only appear on intraday charts and are automatically hidden on daily and higher timeframes.
SCREENSHOT: Asia, London, and NY session boxes plotted across an intraday chart
🔹 Session Titles and Extension Lines
When enabled, each session displays a title label above its box. Once a session ends, its high and low are extended forward as horizontal lines until replaced by the next instance of that same session. Each session has independent color controls for its high line and low line. Default colors are teal/maroon for Asia, blue/orange for London, and purple/green for NY.

HIGHER TIMEFRAME LIQUIDITY
🔹 What Is Higher Timeframe Liquidity?
A higher-timeframe high or low is the extreme price reached during the most recently completed candle on a higher timeframe. These levels are visible on every higher timeframe chart, which makes them natural locations for stop-loss orders and pending breakout orders to accumulate.
🔹 How the Indicator Tracks HTF Liquidity
The indicator tracks three higher-timeframe liquidity sources: the previous 1-Hour high and low, the previous 4-Hour high and low, and the previous Day high and low. When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the previous candle's final high and low are archived and drawn as horizontal lines on the chart. These levels remain visible until replaced by the next completed candle and are also used by the bias engine to classify session profiles.
SCREENSHOT: 1H, 4H, and Previous Day high and low extension lines on 5m chart
🔹 Extend Levels
When Extend Levels is enabled, all HTF liquidity lines extend forward by a user-defined number of bars beyond the current bar, making them easier to see as future targets. The extension distance is shared across all three HTF sources.
🔹 Customization Options
Show / Hide toggle per source (1H, 4H, Previous Day)
High and low line colors per source

LIQUIDITY LEVEL LABELS
The Daily Bias indicator displays labels next to each tracked liquidity level on the right edge of the chart. When two or more sources fall on the exact same price, the text is automatically merged with an ampersand (for example, "1H & 4H High") so the label shows at a glance how many sources align there.

SWEEP MARKERS
A liquidity sweep occurs when the price trades beyond a previously established high or low, triggering resting stop orders at that level. When Sweep Markers is enabled, a small red diamond appears above any candle that sweeps a high-side liquidity level, and a small green diamond appears below any candle that sweeps a low-side level.
SCREENSHOT: chart with sweep markers active, showing both high and low sweep diamonds
The same sweep events also feed the Current Status section of the dashboard and the bias engine, regardless of whether the markers are visually enabled.
🔹 Customization Options
Show / Hide toggle (off by default)
HISTORICAL LEVELS
By default, the Daily Bias indicator shows only the most recent set of sessions and HTF liquidity lines. When Historical Levels is enabled, older lines from previous sessions and previous higher-timeframe candles remain visible on the chart, anchored at their original times. Up to 60 historical lines per side per source are kept on the chart at once. When the limit is exceeded, the oldest line is automatically deleted.

SESSION PROFILE CLASSIFICATION
🔹 The Four Profiles
Once a session ends, the indicator examines how the session interacted with all tracked liquidity sources and assigns one of four profiles:
◇ Consolidation: the session did not clearly sweep any tracked liquidity level
◇ Manipulation (Sweep Only): the session swept one side of liquidity but did not close back through it
◇ Reversal: the session swept one side of liquidity and closed back through it in the opposite direction
◇ Complex: the session swept both high-side and low-side liquidity, making direction unreliable
SCREENSHOT: example of a Bullish Reversal session that swept a low and closed back above it
SCREENSHOT: example of a Complex session that swept both highs and lows
🔹 How the Indicator Classifies Sessions
At the close of each session, the indicator checks whether the session high exceeded any tracked high-side liquidity level and whether the session low exceeded any tracked low-side level. If both sides were swept, the profile is Complex. If neither side was swept, the profile is Consolidation. If only one side was swept, the indicator then checks whether the session close ended back inside the range — if yes, the profile is Reversal; if no, the profile is Manipulation.
🔹 Profile Direction and Color Coding
Each profile carries an associated direction and color in the dashboard:
◇ Consolidation: Neutral (gray)
◇ Manipulation: Neutral, leaning bullish or bearish (orange)
◇ Bullish Reversal: Bullish (lime)
◇ Bearish Reversal: Bearish (red)
◇ Complex: Neutral (yellow)
LOWER TIMEFRAME STRUCTURE CONFIRMATION
🔹 What Is Structure Confirmation?
Structure confirmation is a check against the previous 5-minute and 15-minute highs and lows. The current bar's close must trade above one of those previous highs to qualify as bullish-confirmed, or below one of those previous lows to qualify as bearish-confirmed.
🔹 How the Indicator Uses Structure Confirmation
When Use 5m/15m Confirmation is enabled (default on), the bias engine requires the structure check to agree with the expected direction before assigning Bullish or Bearish to the Final Bias. If structure is not yet confirmed, the bias remains Neutral and the dashboard reason explains that the engine is waiting for confirmation. When disabled, the bias engine assigns direction purely from the session profile and current liquidity events.
The dashboard 5m/15m Structure cell displays one of four states: Bullish, Bearish, Not Confirmed, or Off.
FINAL BIAS ENGINE
🔹 How the Engine Decides Direction
The Final Bias is the indicator's primary output. It combines the previous session's profile, the current session's live liquidity activity, and (optionally) the lower-timeframe structure confirmation into a single directional decision. The decision logic is rule-based and depends on the previous session's profile.
◇ If the previous session was Consolidation: the engine waits for the current session to perform its own manipulation and reversal. If the Current Status shows a remembered Bullish Reversal and structure agrees, the Final Bias becomes Bullish. The bearish case is symmetric.
◇ If the previous session was Manipulation (Sweep Only): the engine waits for the current session to confirm the reversal the previous session left incomplete.
◇ If the previous session was Reversal: the engine expects continuation in the same direction.
◇ If the previous session was Complex: the engine refuses to assign a directional bias. The Final Bias is Neutral.
◇ If no session is currently active: the Final Bias is Neutral with reason "No active session."
🔹 Final Bias Output
The Final Bias is displayed in the dashboard as Bullish (lime), Bearish (red), or Neutral (gray). Every bias decision is paired with a Reason line that explains the exact rule that produced the current value.
SCREENSHOT: dashboard Final Bias showing Bullish with corresponding Reason line
DAILY BIAS DASHBOARD
The Daily Bias indicator includes a built-in dashboard that displays the current state of every component used in the bias decision. The dashboard is divided into four sections: a header, Session Context, Bias Engine, and Reason. Every cell that contains a value also includes a tooltip that explains what the value means and why it currently shows what it does.
🔹 Session Context
Current Session: the session price is trading in right now (Asia, London, NY, or None)
Previous Session: the session that immediately preceded the current one
Current Status: the most recent remembered liquidity event from any tracked source, updated every time a sweep or reversal occurs, and remembered until a newer same-source event replaces it
🔹 Bias Engine
Previous Profile: the classification of the previous session (Consolidation, Manipulation, Reversal, or Complex)
Previous Direction: the directional takeaway from the previous session profile
Expected Now: what the engine expects from the current session based on the previous session's profile
5m/15m Structure: the current structural state from the lower-timeframe confirmation system
Final Bias: the engine's current directional decision
🔹 Reason
The bottom row displays the exact reason behind the current Final Bias in plain English. This text changes dynamically as the engine state changes.
🔹 Tooltips
Every cell has its own tooltip that explains both what the field means in general and why the current value is what it is. For example, hovering over Previous Profile when the value is Bullish Reversal reveals: "Previous Profile means the profile of the previous session, which is NY. It is Bullish Reversal because that session swept low-side liquidity at PD Low and then closed back above it." This makes the dashboard fully self-documenting.

IMPORTANT NOTES
The Daily Bias indicator is designed to run on intraday timeframes. Session tracking is automatically disabled on Daily, Weekly, and Monthly charts. The indicator uses the America/New_York time zone for all session calculations. The 5m/15m structure confirmation reads only closed previous candles and produces no future-looking data. The bias engine is intentionally session-anchored — outside of the three tracked sessions, the Final Bias remains Neutral with reason "No active session."
UNIQUENESS
The Daily Bias indicator focuses on session-anchored directional bias by combining session profile classification, live liquidity event tracking, and lower-timeframe structure confirmation into a single transparent system. Unlike indicators that only display levels or only show signals, every decision the engine makes is exposed on the dashboard along with a plain-English Reason line and detailed tooltips on every cell. The session profile system classifies each completed session into one of four distinct states by examining how it interacted with three higher-timeframe liquidity sources and two cross-session sources at once. The Current Status system remembers the most recent valid liquidity event across all six tracked sources. The bias engine combines profile, expected behavior, current status, and structure into a single directional decision that is fully traceable from cell to cell. Indicator
Market Bias MonitorMarket Bias Monitor (MTF EMA Consensus Bias)
The Market Bias Monitor is a multi-timeframe EMA-based bias indicator that helps traders quickly assess whether market structure is aligned bullish , bearish , or mixed across multiple timeframes.
It uses an EMA structure of 8 / 21 / 50 across 10 timeframes , then aggregates those results into a single consensus bias signal. This helps reduce subjective chart reading and supports a more systematic top-down workflow.
How It Works
For each monitored timeframe, the script checks whether price and EMAs are aligned in a bullish or bearish structure.
Bullish condition
Price is above EMA 21
EMA 8 > EMA 21
EMA 21 > EMA 50
Bearish condition
Price is below EMA 21
EMA 8 < EMA 21
EMA 21 < EMA 50
If neither condition is fully met, that timeframe is treated as neutral.
The script then counts how many timeframes are bullish vs bearish. When the number of aligned timeframes reaches the user-defined minimum threshold (default: 5 ), it displays an overall bias using a background highlight.
Bullish consensus -> Green background
Bearish consensus -> Red background

Indicator
Average Up and Down Candles Streak with Predicted Next CandleThis indicator is designed to analyze price trends by examining the patterns of up and down streaks (consecutive bullish or bearish candles) over a defined period. It uses this data to provide insights on whether the next candle is likely to be bullish or bearish, and it visually displays relevant information on the chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what the indicator does:
1. Inputs and Parameters
Period (Candles): Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average length of bullish and bearish streaks. For example, if the period is set to 20, the indicator will analyze the past 20 candles to determine average up and down streak lengths.
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signal Toggle: These options allow users to show or hide visual signals (green or red circles) when there’s a bullish or bearish bias in the trend based on the indicator’s calculations.
2. Streak Calculation
The indicator looks at each candle within the period to identify if it closed up (bullish) or down (bearish).
Up Streak: The indicator counts consecutive bullish candles. When there’s a bearish candle, it resets the up streak count.
Down Streak: Similarly, it counts consecutive bearish candles and resets when a bullish candle appears.
Averages: Over the defined period, the indicator calculates the average length of up streaks and average length of down streaks. This provides a baseline to assess whether the current streak is typical or extended.
3. Current and Average Streak Display
The indicator displays the current up and down streak lengths alongside the average streak lengths for comparison. This data appears in a table on the chart, allowing you to see at a glance:
The current streak length (for both up and down trends)
The average streak length for up and down trends over the chosen period
4. Trend Prediction for the Next Candle
Next Candle Prediction: Based on the current streak and its comparison to the average, the indicator predicts the likely direction of the next candle:
Bullish: If the current up streak is shorter than the average up streak, suggesting that the bullish trend could continue.
Bearish: If the current down streak is shorter than the average down streak, indicating that the bearish trend may continue.
Neutral: If the current streak length is near the average, which could signal an upcoming reversal.
This prediction appears in a table on the chart, labeled as “Next Candle.”
5. Previous Candle Analysis
The Previous Candle entry in the table reflects the last completed candle (directly before the current candle) to show whether it was bullish, bearish, or neutral.
This data gives a reference point for recent price action and helps validate the next candle prediction.
6. Visual Signals and Reversal Zones
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signals: The indicator can plot green circles on bullish bias and red circles on bearish bias to highlight points where the trend is likely to continue.
Reversal Zones: If the current streak length reaches or exceeds the average, it suggests the trend may be overextended, indicating a potential reversal zone. The indicator highlights these zones with shaded backgrounds (green for possible bullish reversal, red for bearish) on the chart.
Summary of What You See on the Chart
Bullish and Bearish Bias Signals: Green or red circles mark areas of expected continuation in the trend.
Reversal Zones: Shaded areas in red or green suggest that the trend might be about to reverse.
Tables:
The Next Candle prediction table displays the trend direction of the previous candle and the likely trend of the next candle.
The Streak Information table shows the current up and down streak lengths, along with their averages for easy comparison.
Practical Use
This indicator is helpful for traders aiming to understand trend momentum and potential reversals based on historical patterns. It’s particularly useful for swing trading, where knowing the typical length of bullish or bearish trends can help in timing entries and exits. Indicator
OrderBlock Trend (CISD)OrderBlock Trend (CISD) Indicator
Overview:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" AKA: change in state of delivery by ICT inner circle trader this indicator is designed to help traders identify and visualize market trends based on higher timeframe candle behavior. This script leverages the concept of order blocks, which are price levels where significant buying or selling activity has occurred, to signal potential trend reversals or continuations. By analyzing bullish and bearish order blocks on a higher timeframe, the indicator provides visual cues and statistical insights into the market's current trend dynamics.
Key Features:
Higher Timeframe Analysis: The indicator uses a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) to assess the trend direction based on the open and close prices of candles. This approach helps in identifying more significant and reliable trend changes, filtering out noise from lower timeframes.
Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks: The script detects the first bullish or bearish candle on the selected higher timeframe and uses these candles as reference points (order blocks) to determine the trend direction. A bullish trend is indicated when the current price is above the last bearish order block's open price, and a bearish trend is indicated when the price is below the last bullish order block's open price.
Visual Trend Indication: The indicator visually represents the trend using background colors and plot shapes:
A green background and a square shape above the bars indicate a bullish trend.
A red background and a square shape above the bars indicate a bearish trend.
Candle Count and Statistics: The script keeps track of the number of up and down candles during bullish and bearish trends, providing percentages of up and down candles in each trend. This data is displayed in a table, giving traders a quick overview of market sentiment during each trend phase.
User Customization: The higher timeframe can be adjusted according to the trader's preference, allowing flexibility in trend analysis based on different time horizons.
Concepts and Calculations:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" indicator is based on the concept of order blocks, a key area where institutional traders are believed to place large orders, creating significant support or resistance levels. By identifying these blocks on a higher timeframe, the indicator aims to highlight potential trend reversals or continuations. The use of higher timeframe data helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on more meaningful price movements.
The candle count and percentage calculations provide additional context, allowing traders to understand the proportion of bullish or bearish candles within each trend. This information can be useful for assessing the strength and consistency of a trend.
How to Use:
Select the Higher Timeframe: Choose the higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) that best suits your trading strategy. The default setting is "D" (Daily), but it can be adjusted to other timeframes as needed.
Interpret the Trend Signals:
A green background indicates a bullish trend, while a red background indicates a bearish trend. The corresponding square shapes above the bars reinforce these signals.
Use the information on the proportion of up and down candles during each trend to gauge the trend's strength and consistency.
Trading Decisions: The indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to make informed trading decisions. It is particularly useful for identifying trend reversals and potential entry or exit points based on the behavior of higher timeframe order blocks.
Customization and Optimization: Experiment with different higher timeframes and settings to optimize the indicator for your specific trading style and preferences.
Conclusion:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" indicator offers a comprehensive approach to trend analysis, combining the power of higher timeframe order blocks with clear visual cues and statistical insights. By understanding the underlying concepts and utilizing the provided features, traders can enhance their trend detection and decision-making processes in the markets.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is intended for educational purposes and should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods. Always perform your own research and risk management before making trading decisions.
Some known bugs when you switch to lower timeframe while using daily timeframe data it didn't use the daily candle close to establish the trend change but your current time frame If some of you know how to fix it that would be great if you help me to I would try my best to fix this in the future :) credit to ChatGPT 4o Indicator
TTrades Daily Bias [TFO]Inspired by @TTrades_edu video on daily bias, this indicator aims to develop a higher timeframe bias and collect data on its success rate. While a handful of concepts were introduced in said video, this indicator focuses on one specific method that utilizes previous highs and lows. The following description will outline how the indicator works using the daily timeframe as an example, but the weekly timeframe is also an included option that functions in the exact same manner.
On the daily timeframe, there are a handful of possible scenarios that we consider: if price closes above its previous day high (PDH), the following day's bias will target PDH; if price trades above its PDH but closes back below it, the following day's bias will target its previous day low (PDL).
Similarly, if price closes below its PDL, the following day's bias will target PDL. If price trades below its PDL but closes back above it, the following day's bias will target PDH.
If price trades as an inside bar that doesn't take either PDH or PDL, it will refer to the previous candle for bias. If the previous day closed above its open, it will target PDH and vice versa. If price trades as an outside bar that takes both PDH and PDL, but closes inside that range, no bias is assigned.
With a rigid framework in place, we can apply it to the charts and observe the results.
As shown above, each new day starts by drawing out the PDH and PDL levels. They start out as blue and turn red once traded through (these are the default colors which can be changed in the indicator's settings). The triangles you see are plotted to indicate the time at which PDH or PDL was traded through. This color scheme is also applied to the table in the top right; once a bias is determined, that cell's color starts out as blue and turns red once the level is traded through.
The table indicates the success rate of price hitting the levels provided by each period's bias, followed by the success rate of price closing through said levels after reaching them, as well as the sample size of data collected for each scenario.
In the above crude oil futures (CL1!) 30m chart, we can glean a lot of information from the table in the top right. First we may note that the "PDH" cell is red, which indicates that the current day's bias was targeting PDH and it has already traded through that level. We might also note that the "PWH" cell is blue, which indicates that the weekly bias is targeting the previous week high (PWH) but price has yet to reach that level.
As an example of how to read the table's data, we can look at the "PDH" row of the crude oil chart above. The sample size here indicates that there were 279 instances where the daily bias was assigned as PDH. From this sample size, 76.7% of instances did go on to trade through PDH, and only 53.7% of those instances actually went on to close through PDH after hitting that level.
Of course, greater sample sizes and therefore greater statistical significance may be derived from higher timeframe charts that may go further back in time. The amount of data you can observe may also depend on your PulseWire plan.
If we don't want to see the labels describing why bias is assigned a certain way, we can simply turn off the "Show Bias Reasoning" option. Additionally, if we want to see a visual of what the daily and weekly bias currently is, we can plot that along the top and bottom of the chart, as shown above. Here I have daily bias plotted at the top and weekly bias at the bottom, where the default colors of green and red indicate that the bias logic is expecting price to draw towards the given timeframe's previous high or low, respectively.
For a compact table view that doesn't take up much chart space, simply deselect the "Show Statistics" option. This will only show the color-coded bias column for a quick view of what levels are being anticipated (more user-friendly for mobile and other smaller screens).
Alerts can be configured to indicate the bias for a new period, and/or when price hits its previous highs and lows. Simply enable the alerts you want from the indicator's settings and create a new alert with this indicator as the condition. There will be options to use "Any alert() function call" which will alert whatever is selected from the settings, or you can use more specific alerts for bullish/bearish bias, whether price hit PDH/PDL, etc.
Lastly, while the goal of this indicator was to evaluate the effectiveness of a very specific bias strategy, please understand that past performance does not guarantee future results. Indicator
ICT Daily Bias Finder [DTCC]What is This?
The ICT Daily Bias Finder uses a method called "DTCC" to identify the London and New York session's bias, bullish or bearish. This indicator should only be relied on for 5 minute, and not other timeframes.
How do I use it?
Look at the previous days two boxes (labeled DTCC Bear/DTCC Bull), if both are bullish or both are bearish it is NOT recommended to rely on DTCC for that day. If the first one is bullish and second one is bearish, the DTCC for the next day says that London session will turn ABOVE midnight opening price, while New York will turn UNDER midnight opening price (longs in London, shorts in New York). If the second one is bearish and the first is bullish, the DTCC for the next day says that London session will turn UNDER midnight opening price, while New York will turn ABOVE midnight opening price (shorts in London, longs in New York)
Emoji guide to DTCC indicator:
🟢🟢: Don't trust DTCC for that day
🔴🔴: Don't trust DTCC for that day
🟢🔴: Longs in London above Midnight Opening Price, Shorts in New York under Midnight Opening Price
🔴🟢: Shorts in London under Midnight Opening Price, Longs in New York under Midnight Opening Price
Reminder: NEVER rely solely on DTCC, DTCC can be wrong and is not right 100% of times.
