1. 🔭 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Pro Sniper is a multi-confluence overlay indicator designed to generate high-reliability Long and Short signals. It does not rely on a single indicator — instead, it combines 10 different technical factors into a confluence score ranging from 0 to 10. A signal only fires when the score exceeds the configured minimum threshold.
The underlying concept is simple yet powerful: a single indicator (e.g. RSI in oversold territory) can produce false signals. But when RSI, MACD, EMA, VWAP, Volume, ADX, and the higher-timeframe trend all point in the same direction simultaneously, the probability of the trade working out increases significantly.
The indicator also includes a complete trade management system with 3 Take Profit levels, structural Stop Loss, and automatic trailing stop, plus a built-in backtest tracker that displays historical performance statistics in real time.

2. ⚙️ HOW IT WORKS — SIGNAL ARCHITECTURE
A Pro Sniper signal is born from the convergence of 6 simultaneous conditions:
Condition 1 — EMA Crossover 🔀 The Fast EMA must cross the Slow EMA. An upward cross = Long candidate, a downward cross = Short candidate. Without this crossover, no signal can ever fire. This is the fundamental "trigger."
Condition 2 — Momentum 📈 For a Long, price must be above both the Fast EMA and the Slow EMA. For a Short, below both. This filters out false crossovers where price is "trapped" between the two moving averages.
Condition 3 — RSI Filter 📊 RSI must not be in an extreme zone: for Longs it must be below 75 (not overbought), for Shorts above 25 (not oversold). This prevents entries when momentum is already exhausted.
Condition 4 — Minimum Score 🏆 The confluence score (0 to 10, calculated across 10 factors) must reach the configured minimum threshold. With the Default preset, at least 5/10 is required.
Condition 5 — Grade Filter 🏅 The signal must pass the selected quality filter (All, A+/A, or A+ Only).
Condition 6 — Direction 🚫 Consecutive signals in the same direction are not generated. After a Long, the next signal can only be a Short (or a new Long after the SL has been hit and the direction has been reset).

3. 🧮 THE CONFLUENCE SCORING ENGINE
The heart of the indicator is its scoring engine. For each bar, both a bullScore and a bearScore are calculated, each composed of 10 factors:

Stop guessing if a setup is real. Let the checklist confirm it.The ICT Strategy Checker walks every ICT/SMC setup through the exact 3-step institutional order flow sequence — so you're not entering on a hunch, you're entering on confirmation.What it tracks:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">Step 1 — Liquidity Swept:&nbsp;flags when price sweeps a fresh BSL/SSL swing level, with staleness detection so you're never acting on an old sweep</li><li value="2" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">Step 2 — Order Block + Structure Flip:&nbsp;confirms a CHoCH/BOS in the expected direction backed by a supporting order block, with automatic invalidation if counter-structure prints afterward</li><li value="3" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">Step 3 — FVG Entry:&nbsp;waits for price to wick into a Fair Value Gap in the flip direction and close back outside it — the actual rejection confirmation, not just a touch</li></ul>Built-in filters most traders skip:<ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">ICT Kill Zones&nbsp;— London Open, NY Open, London Close, Asia Open — flags when a valid setup is firing outside the high-probability window</li><li value="2" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">Ranging Market Detection&nbsp;— ATR-based consolidation filter that suppresses signals when the market is coiling sideways</li><li value="3" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">ATR-Scaled Thresholds&nbsp;— sweep and entry zones adapt to the instrument's actual volatility instead of using one-size-fits-all percentages</li><li value="4" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">SMT Divergence&nbsp;— optional cross-instrument confirmation for extra conviction</li></ul>How to read it:&nbsp;a live status label shows exactly where the setup stands — NO SETUP, BUILDING, LONG/SHORT SETUP ✔, or a warning state (RANGING, OUTSIDE KILL ZONE, WEAKENED, INVALIDATED) — plus a full 3-step breakdown showing precisely what's confirmed and what's still pending.Best suited for:&nbsp;ICT/SMC traders who already understand liquidity, structure, and FVGs and want a disciplined, rules-based second check before pulling the trigger — not a plug-and-play auto-signal.

 설정이 실제인지 추측을 멈추세요. 체크리스트가 이를 확인해줍니다.
 ICT 전략 검사기는 모든 ICT/SMC 설정을 정확한 3단계 기관 주문 흐름 순서로 안내합니다 — 그래서 직감에 의존하는 것이 아니라 확인을 바탕으로 진입하게 됩니다.
 추적하는 항목:
 <ul class="editor-list-ul">
 <li value="1" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">1단계 — 유동성 스윕:&nbsp;가격이 새로운 BSL/SSL 스윙 레벨을 스윕할 때 표시하며, 오래된 스윕에 기반해 행동하지 않도록 신선도 감지를 포함합니다</li>
 <li value="2" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">2단계 — 주문 블록 + 구조 전환:&nbsp;예상 방향의 CHoCH/BOS를 지원하는 주문 블록과 함께 확인하며, 이후 반대 구조가 나타나면 자동으로 무효화됩니다</li>
 <li value="3" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">3단계 — FVG 진입:&nbsp;가격이 전환 방향의 공정 가치 격차(Fair Value Gap)로 심지를 내밀고 다시 그 밖으로 닫힐 때까지 기다립니다 — 단순 터치가 아닌 실제 거부 확인입니다</li>
 </ul>
 대부분의 트레이더가 건너뛰는 내장 필터:
 <ul class="editor-list-ul">
 <li value="1" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">ICT 킬 존&nbsp;— 런던 오픈, 뉴욕 오픈, 런던 클로즈, 아시아 오픈 — 유효한 설정이 고확률 시간대 밖에서 발생할 때 표시합니다</li>
 <li value="2" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">횡보장세 감지&nbsp;— ATR 기반 통합 필터로 시장이 횡보할 때 신호를 억제합니다</li>
 <li value="3" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">ATR 스케일 임계값&nbsp;— 스윕 및 진입 구역이 도구의 실제 변동성에 맞게 조정되며, 일률적인 비율을 사용하지 않습니다</li>
 <li value="4" class="editor-list-item" style="text-align: start;">SMT 다이버전스&nbsp;— 추가 확신을 위한 선택적 교차 도구 확인</li>
 </ul>
 읽는 방법:&nbsp;실시간 상태 라벨이 설정의 현재 상태를 정확히 보여줍니다 — 설정 없음, 구축 중, 롱/숏 설정 ✔, 또는 경고 상태(횡보, 킬 존 외부, 약화됨, 무효화됨) — 그리고 무엇이 확인되었고 무엇이 아직 대기 중인지 정확히 보여주는 3단계 전체 분석도 포함됩니다.
 적합 대상:&nbsp;유동성, 구조, FVG를 이미 이해하고 있으며, 진입 전에 규칙 기반의 엄격한 두 번째 확인을 원하는 ICT/SMC 트레이더 — 즉시 사용 가능한 자동 신호가 아닙니다.

Full ICT/SMC 4-step setup checker that alerts a long or short setup. 

The ICT-SMC Setup Checklist is an indicator designed to verify ICT/SMC trading setups through a structured 3-step institutional order flow sequence. It confirms setups by tracking: (1) liquidity sweeps at fresh BSL/SSL swing levels with staleness detection, (2) order blocks combined with structure flips (CHoCH/BOS) validated by supporting order blocks and invalidated if counter-structure appears, and (3) Fair Value Gap (FVG) entries confirmed by price wicks and rejections outside the gap. The tool includes built-in filters such as ICT Kill Zones (London Open, NY Open, London Close, Asia Open) to flag setups outside high-probability trading windows, ATR-based ranging market detection to suppress signals during consolidation, ATR-scaled thresholds adapting to instrument volatility, and optional SMT divergence for cross-instrument confirmation. A live status label displays the setup’s current state—NO SETUP, BUILDING, LONG/SHORT SETUP confirmed, or warning states like RANGING or INVALIDATED—along with a detailed 3-step confirmation breakdown. This indicator is intended for ICT/SMC traders familiar with liquidity concepts, market structure, and FVGs who seek a disciplined, rules-based confirmation tool rather than an automatic signal generator. It supports analysis based on market structure and order flow concepts, using bar data as input.
