ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily RangeThis indicator provides a clean and flexible way to monitor Average Daily Range (ADR) with two distinct calculation modes, along with visual levels and a detailed historical table.
Calculation Modes
- Classic Mode: Uses the standard daily candle range (high minus low of regular daily bars). This is the traditional daily range calculation.
- Midnight Mode: Calculates the daily range from midnight to midnight in America/New_York time. This provides a true calendar-day range independent of session opens.
You can switch between the two modes instantly using the dropdown in the settings. All table values, percentages, and 80% ADR levels update dynamically based on the selected mode.
The indicator plots the following levels from a session anchor point:
- Full ADR (above and below)
- 1/3 ADR (Judas levels)
- 80% ADR measured from the current daily high and low (two lines) - user selectable %
All lines are dynamically managed to avoid duplication and update cleanly as new sessions begin. Labels on the right side display price levels and can be toggled on or off.
Historical Table
A customizable table displays the following information for the selected number of days:
- Day or Date (user selectable)
- 5-Day ADR value for each historical day
- 80% of that day's 5-Day ADR
- Actual daily Range
- Percentage of the 5-Day ADR reached that day
The current/live row shows Today's Range compared against the active 5-Day ADR, including the percentage reached and the 80% target level. The table supports multiple sizes and positions.
Key Features
- Toggle between Classic and Midnight ADR calculations
- 80% ADR levels drawn from daily high and low
- Clean, non-duplicating horizontal lines and labels
- Historical data table with day/date, ADR, 80% ADR, Range, and percentage columns
- Adjustable styling, colors, text size, and visibility for all elements
- Option to plot levels from a session anchor or current price
This tool is designed for traders who want precise ADR-based levels with the flexibility to choose between standard daily ranges and strict midnight-to-midnight calculations. インジケーター
Judas Swing Detector [AGPro Series]Judas Swing Detector
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Judas Swing is a well-known intraday pattern in ICT (Inner Circle Trader)
methodology describing how price often makes a deceptive initial move at the
London or New York session open — pulling in participants in one direction —
before reversing to reveal the session's true directional bias.
Judas Swing Detector systematically identifies, visualizes, and tracks this
pattern across every London and New York session open. It shades the trap
zone, flags the reversal bar, highlights the true-direction bias, and maintains
a rolling 20-session performance log so users can assess how consistently the
pattern resolves on their chosen symbol and timeframe.
IMPORTANT — Timeframe requirement: This indicator is designed for intraday
charts of 1 hour or lower (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h). Session windows anchor the
entire logic, and a 1-hour Judas window cannot be resolved on 4-hour or higher
charts. The panel always shows an "Optimal TF: 1m - 1h" footer, and the TF
status row turns yellow with "use <=1h" if the current chart exceeds this
range.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
UNIQUE EDGE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Unlike generic session-open or breakout indicators, Judas Swing Detector is
built around a defined four-state lifecycle (Pending → Active → Forming →
Confirmed / Failed) with ATR-normalized thresholds, so detection remains
stable across different volatility regimes and asset classes.
Three design choices make it distinct:
1. Independent two-way extremum tracking inside the Judas window — both the
maximum upward and maximum downward excursion are recorded, and the larger
of the two is declared the fake move when the window closes. This removes
ambiguity in choppy openings.
2. Separate fake-move and reversal thresholds. The initial push must exceed
a minimum ATR-scaled size to qualify, and the reversal must travel a second
ATR-scaled distance beyond the session open — filtering out shallow round
trips that would otherwise inflate the signal count.
3. Rolling 20-session statistics panel reporting success rate, average fake
distance, and directional bias, giving discretionary traders an objective
view of how the pattern is behaving on their instrument before they act on
it.
4. Support/resistance-style invalidation zone drawn at the fake-move extremum
after confirmation. This gives a clear visual anchor: if price later
re-enters this zone from the opposite side during the session, the Judas
read is considered broken. The zone is a reference, not an automatic
signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
METHODOLOGY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 1 — Session anchoring
At the first bar of the configured London or New York window the script
records the session open price, resets the two-way extremum trackers, and
transitions to the Active state.
Step 2 — Fake-move accumulation
During the window the script tracks both the maximum high and minimum low
relative to the session open. Neither is committed as the fake move until the
window closes.
Step 3 — Window-close evaluation
When the window ends the larger excursion (up vs down) becomes the fake
direction. If its size reaches the user-defined ATR multiple it qualifies and
the script transitions to the Forming state; otherwise it resets to idle.
Step 4 — Reversal confirmation
In the Forming state the script waits for price to cross the session open in
the opposite direction of the fake move and travel at least the configured
ATR-scaled distance beyond it. When that happens the swing is Confirmed and
the true direction is drawn on the chart. If the reversal window expires
without confirmation the swing is recorded as Failed.
Step 5 — History log
Every confirmed and failed outcome is appended to a rolling 20-session log
used by the statistics panel.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNALS & ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
On-chart visuals:
• Dashed vertical line at session start (accent color)
• "LON" or "NY" label at the session anchor bar (Balanced / Detailed only)
• Shaded fake-move box from session open to fake extremum, colored opposite
to the true direction (a bearish trap is shaded in the bear tone because
the true direction is down — and vice versa)
• Optional "Fake" distance label at the extremum (Detailed density only)
• Reversal marker "X UP" or "X DOWN" at the confirmation bar, offset
from the candles for readability
• Horizontal support/resistance-style invalidation zone around the fake
extremum, extending 40 bars to the right — a visual reference for where
the Judas read would break down if price re-enters the zone
Alert conditions (toggle individually in settings):
• Judas Swing Forming — fake move has qualified, waiting for reversal
• Judas Swing Confirmed — reversal threshold crossed, true direction known
• Judas Swing Failed — reversal window expired without confirmation

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Supported timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h. These resolve a session's early
structure cleanly while keeping enough bars inside each Judas window for the
extremum tracker to work with. Recommended default: 15m or 1h.
Not supported: 4h, 1D, 1W. On these timeframes a single bar exceeds the
session window, so nothing is detected. The panel will show a yellow "use
<=1h" hint if you accidentally switch to one of these.
Recommended instruments: FX majors (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY), index futures
(NQ, ES), liquid crypto (BTC, ETH). The ATR-normalized thresholds keep the
logic portable across these asset classes.
Workflow suggestion:
1. Apply the indicator and let it observe several sessions so the panel
populates a meaningful sample.
2. Review the 20-session success rate on your specific symbol and timeframe.
This is not a forecast — it is a descriptive statistic of how the pattern
has resolved in recent history on that chart.
3. Use the Forming alert as a heads-up, and the Confirmed alert as the main
event. The true-direction arrow marks the bias of the remaining session,
not a trade entry or exit.
4. Combine with your own structural context — higher timeframe bias, key
levels, liquidity pools — before acting on any signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Not a strategy. This is a discretionary analysis tool; it neither places
orders nor implies any specific trade setup.
• Intraday timeframes only. The logic requires 1h or lower charts to resolve
the session windows. On 4h, 1D or higher the indicator will not detect
anything and the panel will show a "use <=1h" notice.
• No forecasting. Displayed statistics describe past behavior on the current
chart only and do not imply future performance.
• Pattern-dependent. When price opens and trends cleanly in one direction
without a fake move, the pattern legitimately will not trigger. Low
signal count on such sessions is expected behavior, not a malfunction.
• Session boundary sensitivity. Results depend on the configured session
windows and timezone. Outside the major FX and equities session hours the
ICT framing may not translate cleanly.
• Extreme-volatility sessions. During very large gaps or news spikes the ATR
thresholds can be dominated by a single bar; users should review the
defaults in those conditions.
• Symbol coverage. Pip conversion handles forex and JPY pairs explicitly and
falls back to tick-based sizing for other asset types. Values are intended
as relative magnitudes, not broker-specific pip quotes.

Judas Swing ICT 01 [TradingFinder] New York Midnight Opening M15🔵 Introduction
The Judas Swing (ICT Judas Swing) is a trading strategy developed by Michael Huddleston, also known as Inner Circle Trader (ICT). This strategy allows traders to identify fake market moves designed by smart money to deceive retail traders.
By concentrating on market structure, price action patterns, and liquidity flows, traders can align their trades with institutional movements and avoid common pitfalls. It is particularly useful in FOREX and stock markets, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points while minimizing risks from false breakouts.
In today's volatile markets, understanding how smart money manipulates price action across sessions such as Asia, London, and New York is essential for success. The ICT Judas Swing strategy helps traders avoid common pitfalls by focusing on key movements during the opening time and range of each session, identifying breakouts and false breakouts.
By utilizing various time frames and improving risk management, this strategy enables traders to make more informed decisions and take advantage of significant market movements.
In the Judas Swing strategy, for a bullish setup, the price first touches the high of the 15-minute range of New York midnight and then the low. After that, the price returns upward, breaks the high, and if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback, a buy signal is generated.
bearish setup, the price first touches the low of the range, then the high. With the price returning downward and breaking the low, if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback to the low, a sell signal is generated.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively implement the Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) in trading, traders must first identify the price range of the 15-minute window following New York midnight. This range, consisting of highs and lows, sets the stage for the upcoming movements in the London and New York sessions.
🟣 Bullish Setup
For a bullish setup, the price first moves to touch the high of the range, then the low, before returning upward to break the high. Following this, a pullback occurs, and if a valid candlestick confirmation (such as a reversal pattern) is observed, a buy signal is generated. This confirmation could indicate the presence of smart money supporting the bullish movement.
🟣 Bearish Setup
For a bearish setup, the process is the reverse. The price first touches the low of the range, then the high. Afterward, the price moves downward again and breaks the low. A pullback follows to the broken low, and if a bearish candlestick confirmation is seen, a sell signal is generated. This confirmation signals the continuation of the downward price movement.
Using the Judas Swing strategy enables traders to avoid fake breakouts and focus on strong market confirmations. The strategy is versatile, applying to FOREX, stocks, and other financial instruments, offering optimal trading opportunities through market structure analysis and time frame synchronization.
To execute this strategy successfully, traders must combine it with effective risk management techniques such as setting appropriate stop losses and employing optimal risk-to-reward ratios. While the Judas Swing is a powerful tool for predicting price movements, traders should remember that no strategy is entirely risk-free. Proper capital management remains a critical element of long-term success.
By mastering the ICT Judas Swing strategy, traders can better identify entry and exit points and avoid common traps from fake market movements, ultimately improving their trading performance.
🔵 Setting
Opening Range : High and Low identification time range.
Extend : The time span of the dashed line.
Permit : Signal emission time range.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that helps traders identify fake moves and align their trades with institutional actions, reducing risk and enhancing their ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
By leveraging key levels such as range highs and lows, fake breakouts, and candlestick confirmations, traders can enter trades with more precision. This strategy is applicable in forex, stocks, and other financial markets and, with proper risk management, can lead to consistent trading success.

Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!
