ICT Immediate Rebalance
By LuxAlgoApr 30, 2024
ICT Immediate Rebalance detects the pattern that mirrors a fair value gap: instead of leaving an inefficiency behind, price fills the gap at once, producing a balanced state with nothing owed to retracement. The indicator marks each occurrence, plots 75%, 50%, and 25% wick levels around it, and tracks whether the expected follow-through arrives, with a dashboard collecting the statistics as they accumulate.
How to Trade the ICT Immediate Rebalance?
- Rebalance marked: an immediate rebalance says the market cleared its imbalance instantly: efficiency, and often one-sided intent.
- Two extension candles: the follow-through that defines success; when they fail to form, the rebalance is considered ineffective.
- Failed vs successful: both matter. A failure at a meaningful level says as much about intent as a clean continuation, so read each in context.
- Wick levels: the 75/50/25% wick prices give reference levels for how deep any reaction runs.
- Higher timeframe detection: spot rebalances on a larger timeframe and optionally display the HTF candles where they formed.
The pattern shows up on any market and timeframe, which is exactly why the dashboard exists: its occurrence statistics let you study how immediate rebalances have behaved on your chart before you lean on them.
