ICT Venom is a cTrader indicator designed to identify liquidity sweeps based on the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It automatically marks a configurable New York session range, called the "Venom Box," capturing the high and low prices during that period (default 08:00–09:30 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.
Key functionalities include:
- Real-time drawing of the Venom Box with customizable session times, colors, opacity, and border thickness.
- Detection of bullish and bearish sweep patterns, marked by directional arrows and a snake emoji on the sweep candle.
- One signal per day to avoid duplicates.
- Live alerts with popup and optional sound notifications triggered only on confirmed bar closes.
- No repainting, ensuring signals are based on fully closed bars.
- Built-in EST/NY timezone alignment for accurate session tracking.
The indicator is best used on 1- to 15-minute charts during or after the New York open session and complements ICT concepts such as Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and PDHL levels. It supports visualization, signal generation for breakouts, reversals, and level breaks, and requires bar data input.
