Market Structure Inducements ICT CHoch BOS Sweeps

The Market Structure Inducements ICT CHoch BOS Sweeps indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying technical trend shifts and smart money concepts. It automatically detects critical market milestones such as Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHOCH), and Inducements to help traders recognize trend reversals and liquidity traps.

Usage

The indicator is designed to map out the foundational elements of ICT and SMC strategies. Traders can use it to determine the current market bias and identify high-probability points of interest.

• Market Structure Identification: The tool tracks the overall price pattern, labeling "Bullish CHOCH" when the market shifts from a downtrend to an uptrend, and "Bearish CHOCH" for the reverse.
• Break of Structure (BOS): It marks key levels where the trend continues after breaking support or resistance, signaling potential trend persistence.
• Inducement (IDMT): It highlights price areas where liquidity is gathered by major players. Traders can use these to avoid "price traps" and wait for the real move after liquidity has been swept.
• Liquidity Grabs (LQDY): The indicator identifies when price sweeps a level but fails to close beyond it, signaling a liquidity grab rather than a structural break.

Details

This tool implements logic to differentiate between minor and major structural levels. It utilizes pivot point detection to identify highs and lows across different lookback periods. The "Fast Trend Detector" logic allows for more responsive updates to major structural levels by adjusting the pivot lookback dynamically. The script also distinguishes between structural breaks (price closing beyond a level) and sweeps (price touching but not closing beyond a level), which is essential for accurate Inducement and Liquidity analysis.

Settings

Logical Setting

• ChoCh Detector Period: Sets the lookback period for identifying major market levels that trigger a Change of Character.
• BoS & Liquidity Detector Period: Sets the period for identifying minor levels used for Break of Structure and Liquidity Grab detection.
• Inducement Detector Period: Determines the lookback period for identifying Inducement levels.
• Fast Trend Detector: When enabled, the script uses shorter internal lookbacks to update major structure levels more quickly.
• Inducement Type Detector: Choose between "Sweeps" (detection via candle wicks/shadows) or "Total" (detection via any price interaction) to identify Inducement levels.
