Description
ICT Venom Model β cTrader Indicator
The ICT Venom Model is a precision overlay indicator built around the core ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept of liquidity sweeps. It automatically marks a configurable New York session range β the "Venom Box" β and then monitors price action after that window closes for classic sweep-and-reverse setups.
How it works:
- Venom Box β A shaded rectangle is drawn in real time across the configurable NY session window (default: 08:00β09:30 NY time). The box captures the high and low of that session, representing a key liquidity zone.
- Sweep Detection β After the session window closes, the indicator watches each subsequent confirmed, closed bar for a wick that pierces beyond the box high or low, while the candle closes back inside the range. This wick-beyond / close-inside pattern is the classic liquidity sweep or stop-hunt signal.
- Signal Markers β When a sweep is confirmed, a snake emoji and directional arrow are plotted on the sweep candle: an up-arrow in green for a bullish sweep (low taken, close above), a down-arrow in red for a bearish sweep (high taken, close below). Only one signal fires per day, preventing duplicate entries.
- Live Alerts β Alerts are strictly guarded against historical firing. Popup text and an optional sound notification trigger only on truly live bar closes, never on backtested or historical data. A banner is displayed at the bottom center of the chart confirming the alert direction.
Key features:
- Fully configurable session window (hour & minute for start and end)
- Adjustable box color, opacity, and border thickness
- Custom bullish/bearish signal colors and pip offset for clean arrow placement
- No-repaint: detection always runs on the fully closed prior bar
- EST/NY timezone built-in for accurate session alignment
- Alert options: popup, sound, or both β independently toggleable
Best used on: 1-minute to 15-minute charts during or after the New York open session. Pairs naturally with ICT concepts such as Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and PDHL levels.

It automatically marks a configurable New York session range, called the "Venom Box," capturing the high and low prices during that period (default 08:00β09:30 NY time). After the session closes, the indicator monitors price bars for wick sweeps that extend beyond the box edges but close back inside, signaling potential stop-hunt or liquidity grab events.
