This OHLC PRO by LudwigICT indicator is a multi-feature chart overlay tool designed to give a professional, information-rich visualization on your cTrader chart.

Here’s a breakdown of what it does:


🔹 Core Function: OHLC Overlay

  • Draws custom OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) bars on your chart.
  • You can set:
    • Which timeframe OHLC to use (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or intraday like H1, M15, etc.).
    • Bar offset (distance from current candles).
    • Bar width, wick, borders, and custom colors.
  • Effectively, you get “reference candles” from higher timeframes placed on your current chart.


🔹 Triple-M Setup (Bullish/Bearish Signals)

  • Detects a pattern of consecutive higher lows (bullish) or lower highs (bearish).
  • When detected:
    • Can place triangle icons (up or down) on the candles.
    • Can also recolor bars to show momentum shift.
  • This acts like a momentum structure shift signal.


🔹 Dual ZigZag Tools

  • Two independent ZigZag overlays:
    • ZigZag #1 (longer length, e.g. swing structure).
    • ZigZag #2 (shorter length, e.g. micro swings).
  • Highlights market swings for structure, trend, and breakout analysis.


🔹 Gann Support & Resistance

  • Uses a Gann number table + ATR logic to calculate S/R levels.
  • Plots multiple support/resistance lines above and below price.
  • Lines can be styled (solid, dotted, extended left, etc.).
  • Labels levels with price values.
  • Also gives Range Guides:
    • “Previous Range” vs. “Next Range” relative to ATR.
    • Helps forecast expansion or contraction zones.


🔹 New York Midnight Levels

  • Automatically detects New York Session midnight open price.
  • Draws:
    • Horizontal line at NY midnight open price.
    • Vertical line at session start.
    • Labels showing “NY Midnight Open | price”.
  • You can extend these lines for 1 or 2 days, or add extra hours.
  • Useful for ICT-style trading (New York session bias, equilibrium points, etc.).


🔹 Customization & Alerts

  • Every feature has parameters in dropdowns:
    • Colors, styles, line extensions, number of lines, etc.
  • Alerts are supported (though mainly via chart visuals—alert frequency param is there).
  • Clean removal on indicator close (so your chart doesn’t stay cluttered).


In short:
This indicator is a multi-purpose price action tool. It combines:

  • Higher timeframe OHLC candles
  • Momentum pattern signals (Triple-M)
  • Two ZigZag structures
  • Gann S/R levels + range guides
  • New York session midnight open markers

It’s made for structure, session, and level-based trading, especially useful for ICT-style or price action traders.


I explain how you could practically use it when trading XAU/USD


🔹 Practical Trading Use (Gold with OHLC PRO)

1. Higher Timeframe OHLC Overlay

  • Example: Plot Daily OHLC while trading on M5/M15.
  • You’ll see yesterday’s candle “inside” your intraday chart.
  • Usage:
    • Price approaching previous day’s high/low = liquidity hunt area.
    • Daily open/close = bias filter (above = bullish, below = bearish).
    • Helps you trade within the daily range.

👉 On gold, NY session often raids the previous day’s high/low before reversing.


2. Triple-M Signals

  • The Triple-M pattern (series of rising lows or falling highs) = short-term momentum.
  • Usage:
    • Bullish Triple-M near support (HTF low or NY midnight open) → possible long scalp.
    • Bearish Triple-M near resistance (HTF high or Gann level) → possible short scalp.
  • Can color bars for fast visual recognition in fast gold moves.

👉 Works well for sniper entries on M1–M5 when aligned with HTF bias.


3. Dual ZigZag

  • ZigZag #1 (longer length) = swing structure.
  • ZigZag #2 (shorter length) = micro structure.
  • Usage:
    • Identify market structure breaks (BOS/CHOCH).
    • Trade only in the direction of the bigger ZigZag (#1).
    • Use smaller ZigZag (#2) for entry confirmation.

👉 Example: Daily bias bullish → wait for ZigZag #2 shift bullish near HTF support.


4. Gann Support & Resistance

  • Generates a grid of mathematical S/R levels.
  • Usage:
    • If price is consolidating, levels mark likely expansion breakout points.
    • Combine with ATR range guide:
      • "Previous Range" small → expect volatility expansion.
      • "Next Range" high → strong breakout level ahead.

👉 On gold, Gann levels often align with round numbers (e.g. 2400, 2420, 2435).


5. New York Midnight Open

  • This is one of the most powerful ICT tools for gold.
  • Usage:
    • Price relative to NY midnight open = directional bias.
    • If price stays above midnight open → bullish NY session.
    • If below → bearish bias.
    • Horizontal line acts as equilibrium (50%) reference.
    • Watch for liquidity sweeps around this level in London/NY killzones.

👉 Example:
NY midnight open = 2405.

  • If London runs price down to 2398 and NY reclaims 2405 → strong long setup.


🔑 Putting It Together (Example Setup)

  1. Start NY session:
    • Plot Daily OHLC.
    • Note NY midnight open.
    • Watch Gann levels nearby.
  2. Wait for liquidity grab (raid of Daily High/Low or Gann SR).
  3. Check Triple-M / ZigZag #2 for micro bullish/bearish confirmation.
  4. Enter with stop behind liquidity sweep.
  5. Target opposite side of range or next Gann/HTF level.


✅ In short:

  • Daily OHLC + NY Midnight = bias filter.
  • ZigZag + Triple-M = entry timing.
  • Gann + Range Guide = profit targets & expansion signals.

This indicator basically gives you all the ICT-style tools in one package for XAU/USD.
