ICT Gradients

Gradient levels for ORG, NDOG, NWOG, and Daily FVGs — precise draw targets within each gap.

Overview

ICT Gradients draws gradient levels for the four most important ICT opening gap concepts: the ORG (Opening Range Gap), NDOG (New Day Opening Gap), NWOG (New Week Opening Gap), and Daily FVGs.

Within any gap, price gravitates toward specific internal reference points. The indicator displays the full gap as a box with horizontal lines at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% internal levels, functioning as precise draw targets within each gap.

The tool selects PD Arrays by proximity to current price, showing up to 1–3 of each type.

Settings

Enable — Toggle (default: on) Master switch for the entire indicator.

IPDA lookback (days) — 180 / 120 / 60 / 40 / 20 (default: 180) The lookback window for sourcing PD Arrays. Standard full lookback is 180 days.

Style Settings (per array type)

Each PD Array type has identical configurable settings:

Box — Color picker (defaults: ORG=red, NDOG=blue, NWOG=orange, D-FVG=gray)

No fill — Toggle (default: off)

Border — Toggle (default: off)

Gradients — Toggle (default: on) Shows 0%/25%/50%/75%/100% gradient level lines.

Labels — Toggle (default: on)

Label Color — Color picker (matches array color)

Each gradient level (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) is individually configurable with its own toggle, color, line style, and width.

How We Use It

ICT Gradients is our primary daily bias tool. Before session open, we identify the closest PD Arrays and mark key gradient levels.

The 50% level of the ORG is treated as the primary reference — it's the daily equilibrium point. Price positioning above or below suggests bullish or bearish delivery respectively.
