ICT concepts advanced

ICT concepts advanced is a MetaTrader 5 indicator that brings the core Inner Circle Trader concepts together on one chart. It identifies the footprints institutions leave behind and presents them as time windows, zones and signals.

Features

• Killzones: highlights the Asian, London, New York and London Close session windows where institutional order flow concentrates.
• Premium / Discount zones: splits the working range so you can see whether price is expensive or cheap before entering.
• Optimal Trade Entry (OTE): draws the Fibonacci retracement band used for high-probability entries.
• Market Structure Shift (MSS): flags reversals when a swing point is broken against the prevailing trend.
• Breaker blocks: marks former order blocks that flip from resistance to support, or the reverse.
• Mitigation blocks: marks partially tested order blocks that still react.

Inputs

• Killzone session times (UTC) for Asian, London, New York and London Close, plus an optional broker-offset adjustment.
• Premium/Discount lookback: bars used to define the working range.
• OTE Fibonacci levels: retracement band used for entries.
• MSS swing length: bars to confirm the swing points used for structure breaks.
• Display toggles and colors per module.

Outputs

• Shaded session boxes for each killzone.
• Premium and discount zones with the equilibrium line.
• OTE retracement band, MSS labels, and breaker/mitigation block rectangles.

Alerts

Alerts can be sent as a screen popup, sound, push notification and email on an MSS or when price enters a key zone.

Limitations

ICT concepts are a framework, not a mechanical system; results depend on your bias and confirmation. Killzone times must match your broker server time to be accurate. Best used during the session windows; moves outside them often lack institutional backing.
