What this indicator analyses

The XAUUSD Liquidity Engine maps the stop-loss clusters above and below price — the resting liquidity that price is repeatedly drawn toward before reversing. It scores every zone for probability, highlights the single most likely target on each side, and assembles a complete trade setup when your session bias and a target line up.

Built exclusively for Gold (XAUUSD). Works on M5, M15, M30 and H1.

New in v2.1 — the complete ICT killzone framework

Killzones are now anchored to New York local time and adjust automatically for US daylight saving, so the windows stay correct all year — not just for half of it. All four ICT killzones are included:

• Asian killzone
• London killzone
• New York killzone
• London Close killzone

Each killzone draws as a box bounded to that session's own high and low — the actual range the session traded — instead of a full-height background stripe. That range is the liquidity: the session high and low are exactly the levels later sessions hunt.

How to read the chart

• Red zones (BSL) — buy-side stop clusters above price. Often swept before a move down.
• Blue zones (SSL) — sell-side stop clusters below price. Frequently tapped before a move up.
• ★ Premium zones — scored 7–10 across seven confluence factors (H1 MTF overlap, FVG, equal highs/lows, session level, PDH/PDL, round number, magnet tier). These stand out on the chart.
• Killzone boxes — the four ICT sessions, each framing its own high-to-low range.
• Liquidity target lines — the single highest-probability target above and below price, each with a score badge.
• Previous Day High / Low — drawn on the ICT midnight-New-York day boundary and extended to the end of the current trading day, so today's key levels are always in view.
• Trade Setup Panel — when session bias and a target align, the dashboard shows Direction, Entry Zone, Stop, Target and R:R.

The dashboard

A sectioned, on-chart dashboard reads the current picture at a glance:

• Narrative — plain-language read of bias and objective
• Market — H4 / LTF structure and premium / discount zone
• Liquidity — targets, previous-day levels, BSL / SSL zone counts
• Execution — live signal, ATR, spread, active killzone
• Context — confluence, order blocks, FVGs, session participation

Text contrast now adapts to your chart background automatically — readable on a white or a dark chart with no setting to change.

Three modes

• Beginner — zones, targets and session bias only. Clean chart, minimal decisions.
• Standard (recommended) — adds FVGs, range context, confluence scoring and the Trade Setup Panel.
• Pro — full dashboard with order blocks, H1 MTF zones, the signal overlay and every intelligence layer.

Key settings

• Mode — Beginner / Standard / Pro; controls which layers are visible
• Killzones — all four ICT windows in New York time, DST-aware (individually adjustable)
• Previous Day Basis — ICT midnight New York (default) or broker daily
• Confluence Proximity — how close levels must be to count as confluence
• Zone Max Age — how many bars before a zone fades
• Target Distance (ATR) — maximum search range for liquidity targets

Typical use cases

• Pre-session planning — see which stop cluster London or New York is likely to sweep
• Entries after sweeps — wait for a BSL / SSL to be taken, then act on the retest
• Target selection — use the scored target lines to frame your take-profit
• Session timing — trade with the ICT killzone windows rather than against them

Who this is for

• Gold traders on M5–H1 who use ICT, SMC or liquidity-based analysis
• Traders who want structure without redrawing zones every session
• Beginners who want a clean, guided view (Beginner mode)
• Advanced traders who want the full institutional picture (Pro mode)

Important notes

• Optimised for XAUUSD. Default parameters are tuned for Gold volatility.
• Killzones use New York local time and adjust automatically for US daylight saving.
• Session Bias uses H4 structure — allow 200+ bars of history to load for an accurate first read.
• The Trade Setup Panel requires both Session Bias and Liquidity Targets enabled.
• The volume-spike filter disables itself automatically on brokers without tick-volume data.

ASSET 2 — Version History Entry (v2.1)

Pick the version number that fits your scheme — v2.1 is the natural step from the live v2.0.

Version 2.1 — June 2026

• New: All four ICT killzones now included — Asian, London, New York and London Close (previously London + New York only).
• New: Killzones anchored to New York local time with automatic US daylight-saving handling — windows stay correct year-round.
• Changed: Each killzone now draws as a box bounded to that session's actual high and low (the session range), instead of a full-height band.
• Changed: Previous Day High / Low now use the ICT midnight-New-York day boundary and extend to the end of the current trading day.
• New: Dashboard auto-contrast — text adapts to a light or dark chart background automatically.
• Improved: Dashboard reorganised into clear sections (Narrative / Market / Liquidity / Execution / Context).
• Improved: Right-edge labels — levels, targets and trade setup — de-collide into a clean column; killzone labels stagger so adjacent sessions never overlap.

ASSET 3 — Screenshot Plan (8 slots)

General capture rules:

• Capture during active market hours so spread is realistic and a signal can print (avoid the weekend "Spread 40 pips / Signal Off" state in hero shots).
• Keep a consistent zoom and a clean chart (hide unrelated objects).
• Auto-contrast handles both themes — consider one light-background shot and one dark to show range.
• Same XAUUSD symbol throughout for consistency.

Priority if you only refresh a few: #1, #2, #3 carry the update. #3 is also the last QA confirmation — capturing it verifies the SL/TP labels de-collide with a live signal.
