📊 Market Environment – Introduction #
The Market Environment indicator is built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology to provide a structured visual framework around the IBDR (Interbank Dealing Range).
Its goal is simple: help you instantly determine whether you’re in a logical buying or selling zone.
By displaying Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones across multiple timeframes, the indicator helps filter market noise and align your trades with institutional logic.
