# One-shot-one-kill

One-shot-one-kill is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

Stages the ICT One Shot One Kill weekly model on intraday charts: an auto or manual weekly bias, a raid of prior-week or session liquidity that fails to hold, a displacement structure shift, then a single entry at the 62-79% OTE retracement, one campaign per week. Killzone gating, stop and target framing, and a discipline panel keep the sequence honest.

**One-shot-one-kill** runs the [One Shot One Kill](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/one-shot-one-kill/) weekly template as a state machine: one weekly idea, one entry, then stand down. Each week frames a bias (toward the nearest untaken old weekly extreme, or manually) and marks the liquidity opposite it: the prior week's extreme plus completed session extremes.

## How to Trade the One-shot-one-kill?

- **Stage 1 — Raid**: price runs a marked pool and closes back inside; the excursion extreme becomes the candidate weekly low or high.
- **Stage 2 — MSS / OTE armed**: displacement (a body of at least 1.5x ATR) and a close through the opposing swing draw the leg's 62-79% retracement band (narrowed by the leg's fair value gap, else its order block), the stop beyond the raid extreme, and the target at the weekly draw.
- **Stage 3 — Entry**: the first tag of the zone inside a killzone fires the week's single shot.
- **Stand down**: Target Hit, Stopped Out, or Missed ends the campaign until next week.

Every stage is alertable; a discipline panel tracks the live frame, and the model requires a chart of 60 minutes or lower.

## One-shot-one-kill Settings

- **Weekly Bias** (default Auto (nearest weekly draw)): or impose a manual read.
- **Liquidity pools**: Prior Week High/Low plus Asia (2000-0000), London (0200-0800), and NY (0700-1300) extremes, all on by default.
- **Close-Back Window (Bars)** (default 3): bars to close back inside for a failed raid; 0 demands wick-only sweeps.
- **Hunt days**: Mon/Tue/Wed on, Thu/Fri off by default.
- **Raid & Entry Inside Killzones** (default on): London 0200-0500, New York AM 0700-1000.
- **Structure Swing Length** (5), **Displacement Body (x ATR)** (1.5), **ATR Length** (14), **Raid to MSS Expiry (Bars)** (60).
- **OTE Zone From / To (Retracement)** (defaults 0.62 / 0.79) and **Entry Zone** (default OTE refined by FVG/OB).
- Display toggles cover the draw, zones, levels, panel, labels, killzone shading, and week separators.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does this differ from the ICT Session Ranges indicator?

[ICT Session Ranges](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/ict-session-ranges/) maps session boxes as standalone references; this build consumes their extremes as raid candidates inside a weekly campaign with bias, displacement, OTE, and one-shot discipline.

### What makes a raid valid?

The pool sits opposite the weekly bias, the run closes back inside within the close-back window (acceptance beyond it retires the level) and the bar lands on an allowed hunt day, inside a killzone when gating is on.

### What happens if the week produces nothing?

Nothing, by design. Raids that never displace expire, a leg reaching the draw unfilled logs a missed shot, and unraided pools die with the week. A skipped week is a correct outcome.
