ICT Setup 03 Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG

The ICT Setup 03 Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG indicator identifies deceptive early-market price movements to help traders align with "smart money" reversals. It automates the detection of specific time-based high/low ranges, the Judas Swing fake-out, and subsequent trend shifts through CISD Level breaks, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG).

Usage

This tool is designed to capture reversals following a trap. For example, in a Bullish Setup, the script first marks the high and low of the initial opening range. During the "Judas" phase, the price performs a "Fake Break" below the established low to grab liquidity. Once the price reverses and breaks the internal CISD Level, the script highlights demand Order Blocks and FVGs as potential entry zones for a long position.

The Bearish Setup follows the inverse logic: identifying an initial range, detecting a fake move above the range high, and waiting for a downward CISD break to highlight supply zones for short entries.

Details

The indicator relies on the ICT Judas Swing concept, which posits that major institutions drive price in one direction to mislead retail traders before moving the market in the true intended direction. The implementation handles two distinct market sessions:

• Forex: Uses the 8:15–8:30 AM (NY Time) window for the range and 8:30–8:45 AM for the Judas move.
• Stocks: Uses the 9:15–9:30 AM (NY Time) window for the range and 9:30–9:45 AM for the Judas move.

The script integrates specialized libraries for refined Order Block detection and FVG filtering to ensure only high-probability structural levels are displayed.

Settings

Logical Settings

• Market: Choose between "Forex" and "Stock" to automatically sync the session times.
• Refine Order Block: When enabled, the script uses a refinement algorithm to narrow down the Order Block area.
• Mitigation Level OB: Determines which part of the Order Block (Proximal, 50%, or Distal) triggers a reaction.
• FVG Filter: Enables a width-based filter for Fair Value Gaps ranging from Very Aggressive to Very Defensive.
• Mitigation Level FVG: Sets the reaction point within the FVG (Proximal, 50%, or Distal).
• Bar Back Check: Defines the lookback period for identifying the CISD Level.

Display Settings

• Order Block Display: Toggle visibility and colors for Supply and Demand Order Blocks.
• FVG Display: Toggle visibility and colors for Supply and Demand Fair Value Gaps.
• CISD Display: Options to show all, only high, or only low Change In State of Delivery (CISD) levels and labels.

FAQ

How do I interpret the Judas Swing signal? Look for the "Fake Break" labels that occur outside the dotted range lines during the trading permit window. A successful reversal is confirmed when the price breaks the CISD level and returns to the highlighted OB or FVG zones.

Can I change the session times? Yes, while the defaults are optimized for ICT NY sessions, you can manually adjust the "Opening Range" and "Permit" sessions in the inputs.
