Description

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 β€” so you're not entering on a hunch, you're entering on confirmation.

What it tracks:

  • Step 1 β€” Liquidity Swept: flags when price sweeps a fresh BSL/SSL swing level, with staleness detection so you're never acting on an old sweep
  • Step 2 β€” Order Block + Structure Flip: confirms a CHoCH/BOS in the expected direction backed by a supporting order block, with automatic invalidation if counter-structure prints afterward
  • Step 3 β€” FVG Entry: waits for price to wick into a Fair Value Gap in the flip direction and close back outside it β€” the actual rejection confirmation, not just a touch

Built-in filters most traders skip:

  • ICT Kill Zones β€” London Open, NY Open, London Close, Asia Open β€” flags when a valid setup is firing outside the high-probability window
  • Ranging Market Detection β€” ATR-based consolidation filter that suppresses signals when the market is coiling sideways
  • ATR-Scaled Thresholds β€” sweep and entry zones adapt to the instrument's actual volatility instead of using one-size-fits-all percentages
  • SMT Divergence β€” optional cross-instrument confirmation for extra conviction

How to read it: a live status label shows exactly where the setup stands β€” NO SETUP, BUILDING, LONG/SHORT SETUP βœ”, or a warning state (RANGING, OUTSIDE KILL ZONE, WEAKENED, INVALIDATED) β€” plus a full 3-step breakdown showing precisely what's confirmed and what's still pending.

Best suited for: ICT/SMC traders who already understand liquidity, structure, and FVGs and want a disciplined, rules-based second check before pulling the trigger β€” not a plug-and-play auto-signal.

Summary

AI summary
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 stateβ€”NO SETUP, BUILDING, LONG/SHORT SETUP confirmed, or warning states like RANGING or INVALIDATEDβ€”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.
