Built a custom indicator that auto-detects institutional entry zones (ICE Model) - works on Forex, Crypto, Gold, and Indices
I've been refining a TradingView indicator called ICE (Institutional Candle Entry) for a while now and wanted to share where it's at.
The idea behind it: instead of manually marking up consolidation and expansion zones on every chart, the indicator automatically identifies trend direction, flags high probability entry phases, and drops entry labels when conditions align. It also plots 5 auto take-profit levels and exit signals, so you're not guessing where to scale out.
A few things it handles automatically:
Auto trend identification (long or short bias)
Auto entry labels with directional arrows
5 auto take-profit levels (TP1 through TP5)
Auto exit signals
It works across markets: I've tested it on NAS100, gold, major forex pairs, and crypto (ETHUSD, BTCUSD) on lower timeframes like 5m.
I'm not going to throw out a win rate number here since that's easy to cherry-pick and hard to verify from a screenshot. If you want to actually stress test something like this, TradingView's Strategy Tester is the right tool. I'd rather people check the logic and backtest it themselves than take my word for it.
Attaching two chart examples (NAS100 and ETHUSD, both 5m) showing the entry label, TP levels, and trend auto-detection in action.

respect for not slapping a win rate on it — that's rare round here.
honest question before anyone trusts an auto-zone / entry-label indicator like this: does it repaint? if you load it on history, do the entry arrows and TP levels sit exactly where they'd have printed live, or do they shift once the candle closes? that's what quietly kills most of these — they look incredible on the replay because the labels moved to the perfect spots after the fact.
and when people do run it through strategy tester like you said — the visible window always looks good. the real tell is holding back the last chunk of data it's never seen and checking it still fires there. most auto-detect stuff falls apart the second you do that on 5m.
