ICT Asian Range Indicator

The ICT Asian Range Indicator for MT4 is designed for traders who want to take advantage of Asian session consolidation and the subsequent breakouts during the London and New York sessions. This indicator is particularly useful for breakout traders and those following the ICT trading strategy.

How the Indicator Works

• The indicator automatically identifies the Asian session range by drawing colored boxes on the chart.
• Traders enter trades when the price breaks above or below the range, signaling potential bullish or bearish momentum.
• The indicator works best on shorter timeframes, such as M5, M15, and H1, making it suitable for intraday trading.
• Best currency pairs include USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, GBP/USD, and EUR/USD, which typically show strong moves after the Asian session.

Trading Signals

Buy Signal

• Occurs when the price breaks above the high of the Asian session range (upper line).
• Can be enhanced using a retouch/retest strategy, entering when the price retests the breakout level.

Sell Signal

• Occurs when the price breaks below the low of the Asian session range (lower line).
• A retest of the breakout adds confirmation for stronger trade signals.

Trading Example

For example, on a GBP/USD chart, the ICT Asian Range indicator draws a box during the Asian session.

1. Price consolidates inside the range.
2. A bullish breakout occurs above the range high.
3. Traders can enter a BUY trade on the breakout or on a retest of the breakout level.
4. The trade targets the next major resistance or the Price Action during the London/New York session.

Similarly, a bearish breakout below the range low signals a SELL trade.
