Updated Dual-Timeframe ICT & Volumized Order Blocks
Dual-Timeframe ICT & Volumized Order Blocks
This indicator is based on the original Order Blocks | Flux Charts script, expanded with dual-timeframe functionality, ICT-inspired detection options, secondary timeframe, and 50% midpoint levels.
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential institutional supply and demand zones across both lower-timeframe and higher-timeframe market structure. It combines the original Flux Charts volumized order block method with an ICT-inspired detection model based on displacement, market structure, and fair value gaps.
Detection Methods
Volumized Detection
The Volumized mode is based on the original Flux Charts volume-aware order block logic. It identifies bullish and bearish zones using swing structure, price breaks, volume data, and zone validation. This mode can also display optional volumetric information inside each zone.
ICT Detection
The ICT mode is inspired by common ICT order block principles. It looks for an opposing candle or opposing candle sequence before a displacement move that breaks market structure.
Multi-Timeframe Support
The indicator can display order blocks from the current chart timeframe, a custom primary timeframe, and an optional secondary timeframe. This makes it useful for traders who want to analyze lower-timeframe entries while keeping higher-timeframe support and resistance zones visible on the same chart.
Visual Features
Chart Scaling Note
When displaying distant higher-timeframe order blocks on lower-timeframe charts, TradingView auto-scaling may compress the candles to fit all indicator drawings on screen. For best results, enable TradingView's Scale price chart only setting.
