ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation
By LuxAlgoOct 15, 2025
ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation maps market structure with zero detection inputs: swing highs and lows are anchored purely to price, tracked across short, intermediate, and long-term horizons, and every structural break is checked before you act on it. Validation asks whether price closed beyond a deviation zone built from a 17-period ATR — a close beyond it confirms the break of structure; a breach that closes back inside is labeled a sweep and boxed.
How to Trade the ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation?
- CHoCH label: price breaks a swing against the prevailing trend — a potential change of character and early reversal cue.
- BOS label: a with-trend break, reading as continuation of the existing move.
- Confirmed breakout: the close clears the ATR deviation zone — structure has genuinely shifted.
- Sweep label and box: the level was breached but price closed back inside — a liquidity grab, not a shift, with the event's price range highlighted.
The swing points themselves carry information: highs mark buyside liquidity, lows sellside, and both are natural references for stops, targets, and classical reversal patterns. Because detection is anchored to price rather than to a lookback input, two traders running the tool on the same chart see the same structure.
