OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
ICT A+ Setup MNQ Scalper
This script is an ICT-inspired scalping indicator designed mainly for Micro NASDAQ Futures (MNQ) on the 1-minute and 5-minute charts.
It tries to identify high-probability (“A+”) setups using three main ICT concepts together:
Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Liquidity Sweeps
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
When all conditions align, it gives:
Buy/Sell signal
Stop Loss (SL)
Take Profit 1 (TP1)
Take Profit 2 (TP2)
⸻
How the Indicator Works
1. Market Structure Shift (MSS)
The script first detects swing highs and swing lows.
It checks whether price breaks:
Above previous swing high → bullish MSS
Below previous swing low → bearish MSS
This is the trend confirmation part.
Bullish MSS
Price closes above previous structure high.
Bearish MSS
Price closes below previous structure low.
This helps avoid random entries against momentum.
⸻
2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
The script looks for stop hunts.
Buy-side sweep
Price sweeps below recent lows and then closes bullish.
Sell-side sweep
Price sweeps above recent highs and then closes bearish.
This is a classic ICT liquidity grab concept.
The indicator assumes smart money takes liquidity before reversing.
⸻
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
The script detects imbalance zones.
Bullish FVG
Current candle low is above the high from 2 candles ago.
Bearish FVG
Current candle high is below the low from 2 candles ago.
These gaps show displacement/momentum.
The script draws them automatically as colored boxes:
Green = bullish FVG
Red = bearish FVG
⸻
A+ Setup Logic
The script only gives a signal when ALL 3 conditions align.
BUY Signal
Requires:
Bullish MSS
Buy-side liquidity sweep
Bullish FVG
SELL Signal
Requires:
Bearish MSS
Sell-side liquidity sweep
Bearish FVG
This filtering removes many weak setups.
⸻
Stop Loss (SL)
The script uses ATR (Average True Range).
ATR measures volatility.
Long SL
Placed below the candle low.
Short SL
Placed above the candle high.
This creates dynamic stop losses based on market volatility.
⸻
Take Profits
The script uses Risk:Reward ratios.
Default:
TP1 = 1.5R
TP2 = 3R
Example:
If your stop is 20 points:
TP1 = 30 points
TP2 = 60 points
