ICT Premium Discount HTF improves MT4 entries with precise institutional context

This ICT Premium Discount HTF review presents a comprehensive 2025 performance analysis using a mix of live account snapshots, demo testing, and controlled backtests. The indicator is distinct because it draws true higher timeframe candles (including body and wicks) on lower timeframe charts and highlights premium and discount zones plus equilibrium levels, providing a clear institutional framework that many common indicators do not replicate. ICT Premium Discount HTF is authored by Mohammadhossein Yoosefiizad and is built for MT4 to maintain compatibility with the vast user base of that platform. The underlying algorithm calculates HTF candle open, high, low, and close from a user-specified timeframe and projects those ranges visually, then overlays calculated premium/discount bands and a central equilibrium line based on HTF price action. The tool does not place orders automatically; instead it flags HTF structure and likely liquidity clusters so traders can execute with confirmation. ICT Premium Discount HTF performs best in trending markets and structured range retracements where HTF candles define clear areas of interest. Risk controls are left to the trader, but the indicator supports conservative entries by waiting for lower timeframe confirmation within HTF premium or discount areas. Expected performance characteristics include fewer false breakouts, clearer zone boundaries, and improved entry timing; in live samples it contributed to higher-quality setups rather than high-frequency scalps. Overall, the review finds ICT Premium Discount HTF to be a practical HTF visualization and decision-support tool for disciplined traders.
