# Market Maker Models Market Maker Models is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®. Tracks the full ICT market maker schematic: original consolidation, displaced leg away with interior consolidations mapped, smart money reversal at the curve extreme, and a return leg that consumes the mapped zones as targets. Defaults detect 15-bar ranges within 2 ATR and 1-ATR displacement on both buy and sell models. For traders who want the whole delivery curve staged and labeled. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Jun 14, 2026. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Market Maker Models](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/market-maker-models/) (primary) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=fvveyhtrc60s7jd67hs4w6kc - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-maker-models/ **Market Maker Models** tracks the full [market maker model](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/market-maker-models/) schematic live: original consolidation, displaced leg away stepping through smaller interior consolidations, smart money reversal at the curve extreme, then a return leg consuming those zones as targets. Buy models (MMBM) anchor around a low, sell models (MMSM) around a high, and a dashboard reports the schematic in play and progress through the target ladder. ## How to Trade the Market Maker Models? - **Original Consolidation box**: a sideways range of at least 15 bars within 2 ATR; the model activates only when price leaves it with displacement. - **RD/RA zones**: interior consolidations mapped on the leg away become the return-trip ladder, ticked off nearest-first as the return leg consumes them. - **SMR marker**: a confirmed swing swept at the curve extreme followed by displacement back through structure. - **Completion vs invalidation**: re-delivery into the origin completes the read; reclaiming it from the wrong side, or closing back through the sweep extreme, voids it. Every stage fires its own alert, and the dotted delivery curve traces the path so a half-finished schematic reads at a glance. ## Market Maker Models Settings - **Consolidation Length** (default 15): bars a sideways range must span to qualify. - **Consolidation Width** (default 2.0): maximum range height in ATR multiples. - **Displacement Threshold** (default 1.0): minimum candle body in ATR multiples for the leg away and the reversal leg. - **Swing Length** (default 5): bars each side confirming swing points. - **Minimum Curve Depth** (default 1.0): travel beyond the origin, in consolidation heights, before a reversal can count. - **Volatility Length** (default 200): ATR length behind the width and displacement tests. - **Detect** (default Both): restrict tracking to buy or sell models only. - **Display toggles**: Show Dashboard (on), Show Phase Labels (on), Show Delivery Curve (on). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How does this relate to Model 2022? [Model 2022](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/model-2022/) is a tight three-beat entry sequence (raid, shift, gap retrace), while a market maker model is the full round trip such an entry can live inside. One supplies the map, the other the trigger at the curve extreme. ### What voids a tracked model? Before the reversal, a close that retakes the origin range from the wrong side; after it, a close back through the sweep extreme. Both print an Invalidated marker and reset the detector. ### Does it need a particular timeframe? No. Nothing in the detection is session-bound: consolidation width and displacement are measured against the ATR (200 bars by default), and curve depth against the consolidation height. The schematic scales across timeframes; higher charts simply produce fewer, larger models. ## Related indicators - [Ultimate AMD Indicator](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ultimate-amd-indicator/) (Accumulation-manipulation-distribution): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ultimate-amd-indicator.md - [AMD FVG Trade Setup](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/amd-fvg-trade-setup/) (Accumulation-manipulation-distribution): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/amd-fvg-trade-setup.md - [FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fvg-liquidity-sweep-cisd/) (Change in State of Delivery): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/fvg-liquidity-sweep-cisd.md - [HTF CISD Projections](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-cisd-projections/) (IPDA & Price Delivery Theory): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-cisd-projections.md - [HTF PO3](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-po3/) (Accumulation-manipulation-distribution): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-po3.md - [CISD Projections](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/cisd-projections/) (IPDA & Price Delivery Theory): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/cisd-projections.md - [SMT Divergences](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/smt-divergences/) (Smart Money Technique Divergence): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/smt-divergences.md - [Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/institutional-order-flow-strength-classifier/) (Institutional Order Flow): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/institutional-order-flow-strength-classifier.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/market-maker-models/ (LuxAlgo Library).
