ICT Kill Zones + Liquidity Sweep Detector (Turtle Soup / Judas Swing) A clean, automated ICT session tool that draws the key intraday Kill Zones, detects liquidity sweeps, and visually maps out the classic Turtle Soup / Judas Swing trade setup. ## Overview The ICT Kill Zones + Liquidity Sweep Detector is built for traders who follow the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. Instead of manually drawing session ranges or watching for stop hunts, this indicator automatically highlights Asia, London, New York AM and New York PM Kill Zones, tracks their highs and lows, detects valid liquidity sweeps, and plots the corresponding fade setup with a clear entry and target. It is designed to help you spot one of ICT's most repeatable setups: price sweeps a prior session's liquidity (takes out its high or low), closes back inside that range, then offers a move back towards the opposite extreme of that swept range. ## Key Features - **4 Automatic ICT Kill Zones** – Draws color-filled rectangles for the Asian, London, NY AM and NY PM sessions. Each zone can be toggled on or off to suit your trading style. - **Session High & Low Tracking** – Automatically captures the highest and lowest price formed within each Kill Zone and extends them as clean, dotted horizontal levels to the right of the chart. - **Liquidity Sweep Detection (ICT Style)** – Detects when price wicks above a prior session's high and closes back below it (a bullish liquidity grab / sell-side sweep), or wicks below a prior session's low and closes back above it (a bearish liquidity grab / buy-side sweep). - **Turtle Soup / Judas Swing Setup Visualization** – When a valid sweep is detected, the indicator draws a clear BUY or SELL setup directly on the chart. This includes the sweep candle arrow, the setup direction label (BUY (Sweep) / SELL (Sweep)), and a dynamic target line pointing to the opposite side of the swept range. - **Automatic Targets** – Follows the core ICT Turtle Soup logic: if a session sweeps the previous session's HIGH and closes back inside → SELL setup targeting that previous session's LOW. If it sweeps the previous session's LOW and closes back inside → BUY setup targeting that previous session's HIGH. - **True Day Open (TDO) Line** – Optionally plots the True Day Open at your chosen time (default 00:00 broker/server time). Useful for ICT daily bias, daily draw on liquidity and intraday reference points. - **Multi-Day History** – Displays up to 30 historical Kill Zones (adjustable from 1–30). Keep your chart clean by showing only the last 5, 10 or however many sessions you need. - **Fully Customisable** – Change session start/end times, colours, line styles, label visibility and more to match your personal chart layout. - **Broker Timezone Adjustment** – Easily align all session times to your broker's server time using the GMT Offset input. No manual time conversion needed. - **Clean & Lightweight** – All drawn objects are created with unique names, automatically cleared on chart updates or when the indicator is removed. No clutter, no lag. - **Non-Repainting** – The zones, range highs/lows, sweep detection and trade setups are drawn based on completed candles. Once a setup is plotted at the sweep close, it does not repaint or move. ## How It Works 1. **Kill Zones are drawn** – For each of the last X trading days, the indicator marks Asia, London, NY AM and NY PM as coloured rectangles, while plotting their intraday High and Low levels. 2. **Liquidity is identified** – The range extremes (H/L) of each session act as natural areas of resting liquidity where stop losses are typically placed. 3. **Sweeps are detected** – As price moves through the following session, the indicator checks if price wicked beyond the prior session's range and then closed back inside that same range. This matches the ICT definition of a liquidity grab / Judas Swing. 4. **Trade setups are plotted** – When this condition is met, the indicator automatically displays: - An up or down arrow on the sweep candle (entry area) - A text label showing `BUY (Sweep)` or `SELL (Sweep)` - A ray line extending to the right, showing the logical Turtle Soup target (opposite end of the swept range) 5. **Context is kept visible** – The original session range remains on your chart, so you can clearly see why the sweep is valid and where price is likely to draw towards. ## Practical Use Cases - **ICT Turtle Soup** – Identify high-probability liquidity sweeps and fade them back into the range, targeting the opposing range extreme. - **London/Asia Interplay** – Spot when London manipulates Asia's range liquidity during the early London open (a very common ICT model). - **NY AM & NY PM Setups** – Track how New York sessions interact with London liquidity to find intraday reversals. - **Bias Confirmation** – Use session ranges, liquidity grabs and failed sweeps to help filter your directional bias for the trading day. - **Intraday Trading** – Particularly effective on M5, M15, M30, H1 and H4 charts for Forex, Futures, Indices and Crypto. ## Input Settings The indicator is neatly organised into logical groups for ease of use: - **Timezone Adjustment** – Adjust all session times to match your broker (GMT Offset). - **Asian / London / NY AM / NY PM Kill Zones** – Toggle each zone on/off, set custom start and end times, and choose individual zone colours. - **Display Settings** – Control how many historical days to show (1–30), toggle session High/Low lines and object labels. - **Liquidity Sweep Detection** – Enable/disable sweep detection and customise the BUY (up-sweep) and SELL (down-sweep) arrow colours. - **Trade Setup Visualization** – Toggle the Turtle Soup entry + target display on/off, and select the target line style (Solid, Dash, Dot, Dash-Dot etc.). - **True Day Open** – Enable the TDO line, define your preferred TDO time, and set its colour. ## Compatibility - **Platform:** MetaTrader 5 (MT5) - **Markets:** Forex, Indices, Commodities, Futures, Crypto (anything that trades on MT5) - **Timeframes:** Works on all timeframes (M1 – MN). Best visualised on intraday timeframes (M5 – H1). - **Chart Type:** Candlestick charts - **Execution:** Runs on the current chart only ## Why Sell This Indicator? This indicator saves time, removes the guesswork from drawing ICT sessions, and makes liquidity sweep setups instantly visible. Whether you're learning ICT concepts or already trading Turtle Soup on a daily basis, it helps you stay consistent by clearly highlighting the exact conditions you're looking for — without cluttering your chart with manual lines. Clean, practical and built strictly to follow the logic behind ICT's liquidity theory.
