Description
This strategy is inspired by publicly discussed prop firm methodologies and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts focused on liquidity, market structure shifts, and price imbalances.It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Zamco Capital Ltd, ICT, or Michael Huddleston.This script is provided strictly for educational and research purposes.OVERVIEWThis rule-based strategy implements core ICT concepts using standard OHLC data available on TradingView.The model focuses on:Liquidity sweeps of recent swing highs/lowsMarket Structure Shift (MSS) confirmationFair Value Gap (FVG) imbalance zonesHigher Timeframe (HTF) EMA 50/200 directional biasThe objective is to participate in directional moves after liquidity has been taken and short-term structure confirms displacement.This is not predictive trading. It is reactive to confirmed structural shifts.CORE LOGIC1. HTF Bias FilterEMA 50 and EMA 200 on a configurable higher timeframe define macro direction.Only trades aligned with HTF direction are considered.2. Liquidity Sweep DetectionPrice must first take a prior swing high or low before any setup becomes valid.3. Market Structure Shift (MSS)After the sweep, a break of opposing structure confirms potential shift in order flow.4. Execution RulesEntry: Market order on MSS confirmation barStop Loss: Beyond swept liquidity levelTake Profit: Fixed risk-to-reward (default 3R)One position at a time (no pyramiding)FEATURESLiquidity sweep markers with level visualizationMarket structure shift lines with price labelsFair Value Gap zones with optional equilibrium midlineHigher timeframe EMA ribbonSession background shading (London & New York)Compact dashboard (bias, session, structure state, R:R)Alert() support for automationBACKTEST INFORMATIONBacktests depend heavily on:InstrumentTimeframeSpread and commissionSlippageMarket regimeRisk settingsResults will vary significantly across symbols and periods.Users should configure realistic trading costs in Strategy Properties before evaluating performance.The sample backtest shown in the chart is for demonstration purposes only and represents a limited historical window.RECOMMENDED SETTINGSEntry Timeframes:5-minute15-minuteSuggested HTF Bias:Use 4H HTF when trading 5m or 15m chartsUse Daily HTF when trading 1H chartsCommon Instruments:XAUUSDNAS100GER40BTCUSDETHUSDDefault Risk-to-Reward: 3.0IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONSThis script approximates ICT concepts using candle data only.It does not use real bid/ask order flow or institutional execution data.Performance is highly sensitive to configuration and market conditions.Past performance does not guarantee future results.AUTOMATIONTradingView alerts can be connected to supported brokers using third-party automation services.Automation configuration is optional and not required to use this script.EDUCATIONAL DISCLAIMERThis strategy is provided for educational and research purposes only.It is not financial advice.Users are responsible for their own risk management, testing, and trading decisions.Forward-testing on a demo or simulated account is strongly recommended before considering live execution.
