ICC Market Structure and Phase Tracking

ICC Market Structure and Phase Tracker

ICC Market Structure and Phase Tracker is a visual market-structure indicator based on the Indication → Correction → Continuation (ICC) framework — a structured approach to analyzing break-of-structure, pullback, consolidation, and trend-continuation phases.

The script focuses on identifying structural phases, key levels, and phase transitions across multiple timeframes, providing clear contextual market structure information.

What the Indicator Identifies
The indicator tracks complete market-structure cycles by classifying price action into the following phases:

Indication — initial structural break or trend initiation
Correction — pullback, retracement, or consolidation following the break
Continuation — expansion or impulse in the direction of structure
Neutral / No Setup — periods without valid structural conditions

Each phase is visually distinguished on the chart for fast, at-a-glance structural awareness.

CORE FEATURES
Market Structure & Phase Tracking

Automatic detection of structural breaks, corrections, consolidations, and continuations
Background shading to clearly distinguish phases
Invalidation logic to identify failed or broken structures

Multi-Timeframe Context

Optional higher-timeframe (HTF) structure displayed on lower-timeframe charts
HTF indication levels shown as reference lines
HTF phase and context displayed in the information table

Structure Event Visualization

Visual markers for continuation and optional reversal structures
Clear visual separation between trend-aligned and counter-structure events
Reversal structure visualization can be enabled or disabled in settings

Volatility-Aware Structure Zones

Structure-based support and resistance zones
Optional ATR-based zone sizing that adapts to market volatility
Configurable historical zones (0–3) with visual hierarchy

Information Table

Displays current ICC phase, indication level, consolidation status, and HTF context
Designed for quick reference without relying solely on chart visuals

Alerts

Alerts trigger only when corresponding visual conditions appear on the chart
Includes alerts for ICC phases, continuation structures, and optional reversals

Configuration Overview

Auto Profiles for different trading contexts (Scalping, Intraday, Swing, Entry)
Manual controls for swing length, consolidation behavior, and volatility settings
Higher-timeframe controls for filtering and visual alignment
Reversal toggle to enable or disable counter-structure visualization

Default settings are intended as reasonable starting points and can be adjusted for different instruments and timeframes.

Intended Use
This script is designed as a market-structure and contextual analysis tool.

Users are expected to apply their own analysis, validation, and risk management when interpreting the displayed structure.

Feedback
Bug reports, edge cases, and constructive feedback are welcome.
The project is actively refined with a focus on structure clarity, phase accuracy, and multi-timeframe usability.

Update: On 15-minute and lower charts, the indicator now shifts from structure confirmation to entry detection. This means lower-timeframe signals are intended for entries, not full ICC structure. When price breaks the latest support or resistance, an ENTRY flag will appear. This helps identify potential trade entries when dropping down to lower timeframes to time the end of a correction aligned with a higher-timeframe bias, and when not aligned, may indicate a potential early counter-trend reversal setup, or that the higher-timeframe correction is still in progress.

The final row of the table remains visible to keep the selected higher-timeframe phase in context, serving as a reminder of the broader market structure while executing on lower timeframes. Also, the table’s higher-timeframe reference now adjusts automatically: 1-hour charts reference the 4-hour timeframe, and 4-hour charts reference the Daily timeframe.

Although ICC is not a scalping-focused trading style, these lower-timeframe ENTRY signals may be effectively used by traders who favor scalping-style executions.

Small update to address the table visibility when using dark mode; table will update depending on light/dark background colors, and you can also now change the location of the table on the chart.

Update:

• Improved entry alert reliability by fixing the alert state tracking. The script now correctly recognizes the first occurrence of a new BUY/SELL signal instead of potentially treating the same ongoing signal as a new alert.

• Improved alert sequencing so duplicate suppression occurs in the correct order, resulting in more consistent alerts during live market conditions.

• Fixed alert price capture so alerts consistently report the correct trigger price at the moment the signal is generated.

• Alert Reminder:
For all entry alerts (BUY, BUY+, SELL, SELL+, BULL ENTRY, BEAR ENTRY, etc.) with dynamic signal type, price, and timestamp, create your TradingView alert using "Any alert() function call". The alert message will automatically identify which signal was triggered. If you only want BUY+/SELL+ signals (aligned with higher time frame), check the "Filter Entries by HTF Direction" in the settings.

• Lower Timeframe (15m and below):
ENTRY labels identify support/resistance breakout opportunities. If TP/SL lines also appear with an ENTRY signal, the breakout is also aligned with the full ICC continuation model for that timeframe, providing additional ICC confirmation for that setup.

• Fixed a minor issue affecting the "Last Signal" display in the information table where bearish signals were not always identified correctly.
