ICT Time + Price Levels

The ICT Time + Price Levels indicator is an automated charting tool designed to plot critical Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, helping traders identify high-probability points of interest without manual drawing.

Usage

The indicator serves as a comprehensive toolkit for day and swing traders who rely on time-based liquidity and price benchmarks.

• Daily and Weekly Benchmarks: Automatically plots previous daily, weekly, and monthly highs and lows to identify liquidity pools.
• Session Tracking: Visualize the range of Asia, London, and RTH (New York) sessions. You can choose to highlight these ranges with boxes and display midlines.
• Opening Levels: Mark crucial opening prices such as Midnight (00:00), 08:30, and the RTH Open (09:30).
• ICT Macros: For 1-minute chart specialists, the tool plots vertical lines for specific macro time windows (e.g., 02:33, 08:50, 10:50) to anticipate volatility shifts.
• Opening Gaps: Track New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG) and New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG) with customizable point thresholds.

Details

This script is engineered to handle complex time-based calculations by default using the New York timezone (UTC-5/UTC-4), which is standard for ICT methodologies. It utilizes high-performance line and box management to display historical data up to a user-defined lookback period.

Implementation features include:

• Dynamic Labels: Labels can be positioned at the candle high/low or at the right-hand margin for a cleaner interface.
• Gap Logic: NDOG and NWOG calculations include thresholds to prevent chart clutter from insignificant price gaps.
• FVG Detection: Includes a specific feature for 1-minute charts to identify the "First Presented Fair Value Gap" after the market open.
