ICT NWOG/NDOG & EHPDA
By LuxAlgoApr 5, 2023
ICT NWOG/NDOG & EHPDA plots the new week opening gaps and new day opening gaps that ICT traders keep as standing reference levels, then adds the Event Horizon PD Arrays computed midway between adjacent gaps. Opening gaps have long been read as natural support and resistance: in consolidating markets especially, price has a habit of working back to them, in line with the broader observation that unfilled gaps attract price over time.
How to Trade the ICT NWOG/NDOG & EHPDA?
- Gap retests: treat NWOG and NDOG zones as potential support or resistance — areas where price is prone to react when it returns.
- Gap fills as targets: an open gap overhead or below can serve as a realistic objective for an existing position, since these zones often act as magnets.
- EHPDA reactions: in ICT's framing the mid-levels behave as barriers that stop price from escaping toward a particular gap, funneling moves toward the NWOG it has approached but not yet reached — watch for momentum to stall or redirect there.
Limiting the display to a set number of recent gaps keeps the levels that matter in view without burying the chart in history.

- Show: choose whether NWOGs or NDOGs are displayed on the chart.
- Amount: how many of the most recent gaps stay visible.
- Show EHPDA: toggles the Event Horizon PD Arrays drawn between adjacent gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Event Horizon PD Array?
An intermediary level placed at the average between adjacent NWOGs or NDOGs. ICT describes these as barriers and funnels: price stalling at an EHPDA is often being redirected toward the gap beyond it, which makes them valuable secondary reference levels for anticipating where momentum bends.
When are these gap levels most useful?
Consolidating markets are the highlighted environment — that is where price most reliably reverts to nearby gaps. In directional conditions the same zones tend to serve better as targets for running positions than as standalone reversal calls.
Where can I get this indicator, and does it work with other ICT tools?
It is one of the free builds in the LuxAlgo Library. Gap levels also complement structure- and liquidity-based analysis, so many traders run it beside ICT Concepts and similar smart-money tools from the house collection.
