Son Model ICT Indicator on TradingView - Free - TradingFinder

The Son Model ICT Indicator is one of the ICT indicators on TradingView. It uses key concepts of this method, such as liquidity, market structure shift (MSS), and fair value gap (FVG), to identify special trading opportunities.

This indicator first issues a liquidity signal by accumulating liquidity in the market, then waits for a market structure shift. Finally, if a fair value gap (FVG) is created and the price returns to this range, traders can enter trading positions.

Son Model ICT Indicator Table

The table below outlines the general specifications of the Son Model ICT Indicator.

Bullish Trend

In the 5-minute USD/JPY chart, the Son Model ICT Indicator has identified liquidity accumulation in the 5-hour timeframe. After observing a market structure shift (MSS), the price tested the fair value gap (FVG) range with a shadow and, after reaching this liquidity gap, continued its bullish trend.

Bearish Trend

In the 5-minute EUR/USD chart, the Son Model ICT Indicator has identified a liquidity level in the 1-hour timeframe. After accumulating liquidity, the price experienced a downward movement. Following a market structure shift, the price retraced to the fair value gap (FVG) range and began to decline.

Son Model ICT Indicator Settings

The settings for the Son Model ICT Indicator are as follows:

LOGICAL SETTING

• Swing Period: Set the period for identifying swings.
• Max Swing Back Method: Two options: "All" and "Custom".
• In "All" mode, all swings are analyzed.
• In "Custom" mode, only a specified number of swings are analyzed.
• Max Swing Back: Set the number of swings to be analyzed.
• FVG Length: Set the validity length of FVG based on candles.
• MSS Length: Set the validity length of MSS based on candles.

FVG LOGICAL SETTING

• FVG Filter: Filter fair value gaps (FVG) to focus on high-quality signals.

Types of FVG Filters

Below are the types of filters and their functions:

Very Aggressive Filter

• Checks the highest price of the last candle for an upward FVG.
• Checks the lowest price of the last candle for a downward FVG.

Aggressive Filter

• Filters very small middle candles to reduce additional signals.

Defensive Filter

• Requires specific middle candle body size and polarity to increase accuracy.

Very Defensive Filter

• Eliminates small doji candles in the first and third candles to maintain high-quality signals.
• Mitigation Level FVG: The consumption level in the Son Model ICT Indicator is divided into three levels:
• Proximal: Considers the closest FVG level to the price. If the price reaches this level, the FVG becomes invalid.
• 50 Level: Considers the midpoint (50%) of the FVG range as the consumption level.
• Distal: Considers the farthest FVG level from the price. If the price reaches this level, the FVG becomes invalid.

• Demand FVG: Enable/disable the display of demand FVG.
• Supply FVG: Enable/disable the display of supply FVG.

Conclusion

The Son Model ICT Indicator is one of the liquidity indicators on TradingView, designed based on ICT concepts and liquidity. This indicator identifies three key stages to help traders find entry points. First, in the 1-hour timeframe, liquidity levels are identified, and liquidity accumulation occurs.

Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, a market structure shift (MSS) is confirmed. Finally, in the 1-minute timeframe, a fair value gap (FVG) is identified. After confirming all three stages, traders can perform more specialized analysis on the chart and identify better trading opportunities using this indicator.
