ICT Venom Trading Model SMC NY Session 2025Setup

The ICT Venom Trading Model indicator is an intraday trading tool designed for major US indices that automates the identification of institutional liquidity sweeps and market reversals during the New York session. It provides traders with a structured framework based on ICT core concepts such as the Initial Balance Range, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shifts (MSS).

Usage

The script is primarily used to trade the New York open (09:30 AM EST). It identifies a "Venom Box" formed between 08:00 and 09:30 AM, which represents the initial range where liquidity is often engineered.

Traders use the tool to spot two primary setups:

• Bullish Venom Setup: Occurs when price sweeps the low of the Venom Box after the 09:30 AM open. The indicator looks for a reversal confirmation (MSS/CISD) and a retracement into a demand Fair Value Gap or Order Block for long entries.
• Bearish Venom Setup: Occurs when price sweeps the high of the Venom Box after the 09:30 AM open. After a confirmed reversal shift, traders look for short entries within supply-side FVGs or Order Blocks.

Details

The ICT Venom Model integrates several advanced price action components:

• Time and Price Theory: Focuses on the specific 08:00–09:30 AM window to establish a liquidity benchmark.
• Liquidity Sweeps: Detects when institutional players clear stop-loss orders above or below the initial range.
• CISD (Change in State of Delivery): A sophisticated confirmation signal that identifies when the market has shifted from a sell-side to a buy-side delivery state (or vice-versa).
• Order Block Refinement: Utilizes internal logic to filter and highlight the most significant institutional zones for precise entry execution.
