Quarterly Theory ICT 05 Indicator Specifications

The technical specifications of the Quarterly Theory ICT 05 Indicator are listed in the table below.

Quarterly Theory 05 at a Glance

The Quarterly Theory ICT 05 Indicator, based on Doubling Theory Signals and focused on Smart Money behavior, divides market structure into two time based phases to identify institutional entry and exit points.

The two main phases of the indicator are:

• Doubling 1: The phase where SSMT (Smart Money Structural Divergence) forms
• Doubling 2: The phase where the price returns to liquidity zones and performs a Liquidity Sweep

Bullish Trend Analysis

In Phase 1, an SSMT divergence forms between EUR/USD and GBP/USD; while EUR breaks below the low, GBP maintains its structure indicating weakening bearish pressure.

In Phase 2, EUR performs a liquidity sweep at the low, but GBP fails to confirm this move. With the formation of an SMT divergence and a rapid price jump, the bullish trend is confirmed.

Bearish Trend Analysis

In Phase 1, an SSMT divergence forms between the NASDAQ and S&P 500; the NASDAQ breaks above the high, but the S&P fails to reach it. This suggests weakening buying power and the start of distribution by Smart Money.

In Phase 2, after forming a bearish SMT and breaking the market structure, the market enters a decline phase, confirming institutional selling.
