What is ICT Daily Pivots Shifted?
ICT Daily Pivots Shifted draws horizontal lines based on daily pivots on the MT4 chart. Daily R1, Daily R2, and Daily R3 appear as red lines, so the resistance band price is approaching is visible. It prints no entry arrows.
The lines carry higher-time-frame levels onto a short-term chart.
How to use ICT Daily Pivots Shifted
Check where price sits relative to Daily R1, Daily R2, and Daily R3. As price approaches a line, read the candle reaction, the upper wicks, and the position relative to the most recent high.
- Set ShiftHrs to match your broker server time or the daily boundary you want; it is the only input this indicator exposes.
Where it helps
On 15-minute or 5-minute charts the daily lines stay visible alongside the immediate price action, Daily R1 to R3 give fixed higher-time-frame references, and whether price stalls at a line or clears it is readable directly from the chart.
