ICT Swiftedge

The ICT Swiftedge indicator is a comprehensive market structure trading tool that combines Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) analysis with momentum-based filtering. It aims to provide traders with high-probability entry points by aligning price action breakthroughs with RSI-MA confirmations, supported by a dynamic statistics dashboard for real-time performance tracking.

Usage

The indicator identifies market structure transitions to signal potential trend continuations (BOS) or reversals (MSS). When a structure break occurs, the script evaluates the RSI-MA to confirm momentum; a "BUY" signal is generated if the RSI-MA is above 50 during a bullish break, while a "SELL" signal is generated if it is below 50 during a bearish break.

The script includes trend filtering to ensure only one signal is generated per trend direction, reducing noise. Traders can manage exits through two primary methods:

• Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL): Automatically adjusts as price moves in favor of the trade, exiting when price retraces by a user-defined distance.
• RSI-MA Exit: Exits the position when the RSI-MA crosses the 50 level, indicating a potential loss of momentum.

Details

The script executes market structure analysis by identifying pivot points and monitoring price breaches based on user-defined criteria (Body Only or Body/Wick). It features dynamic timeframe adjustment, where parameters like pivot lookback, RSI length, and MA length automatically scale based on the chart timeframe (from 1M to 1D) to maintain responsiveness across different trading styles.

The integrated statistics dashboard calculates performance metrics including total trades, win/loss ratio, and win percentage directly on the chart, allowing for immediate strategy evaluation without external tools.
