ICT Turtle Soup

Overview ICT Turtle Soup for NinjaTrader 8 automates ICT's false-breakout model: a sweep of the previous higher-timeframe candle's high or low, confirmed by a Market Structure Shift on your chart, with the entry, stop and target drawn for every entry. Choose between two Detection Modes, filter by Trade Direction and add optional time limits. Closed-bar calculation, Strategy Builder compatible. Why This Matters Turtle Soup is simple to describe and hard to execute live: track the HTF levels, spot the sweep, wait for the shift, place the stop beyond structure. This indicator handles each step on bar close, so you can focus on whether the setup fits your bias. What Makes It Different Real HTF LiquidityPrevious 15M to Weekly candle high and low from a true higher-timeframe series. One Raid per PoolEach candle's high and low are raided once unless price purges deeper, so price that stays beyond a level cannot re-arm it bar after bar. Two Detection ModesEvery Pattern for the live chart, or Sequential Backtest for one trade at a time.
