ICT Smart Money Zones - Sessions & Macros

3 小時前

The script helps traders identify high-probability trading times by automatically plotting:

Major market sessions (Asian, London, New York)

ICT Kill Zones (Asian Range, London KZ, New York AM/PM, Lunch Dead Zone, Power Hour)

Opening Ranges (5-min, 15-min, 30-min)

London & New York Macro phases (pre-defined institutional timing windows)

It combines visual session overlays, macro labels, and a timeline bar that dynamically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time (DST) and user time zone preferences.

⚙️ Main Features
🕓 Time Zone Control

Time Zone Modes:

UTC

Session Local Time

Your Time Zone (custom)

Dynamically calculates DST changes for London and New York markets.

Converts session times based on your selected mode.

🌎 Major Market Sessions

Displayed as soft-colored background zones:

Asian Session: 7 PM – 4 AM ET (purple)

London Session: 3 AM – 12 PM ET (blue)

New York Session: 9:30 AM – 4 PM ET (green)

These create context for when liquidity and volatility shift between sessions.

⚡ ICT Kill Zones

Kill zones are the “smart money” time windows where liquidity sweeps and reversals often occur:

Zone Time (ET) Color Purpose
Asian Range 7 PM – 12 AM Red Establishes range / accumulation
London KZ 2 AM – 5 AM Cyan Early volatility & sweep setups
NY Open KZ 7 AM – 10 AM Lime Primary NY session move
Lunch Dead Zone 12 PM – 1 PM Gray Low volume / avoid trading
NY PM KZ 1 PM – 3 PM Orange Reversal or continuation
Power Hour 3 PM – 4 PM Gold Final hour volatility burst

Each is drawn as a translucent box, with automatic high-low range boxes and labels via the LowHighSessionDetector() function.

🏛️ ICT Macros

Institutional “macro” timing blocks used by ICT traders:

London Macros: Two separate sub-sessions (LDN 1, LDN 2)

New York Macros: AM 1–3, Lunch, PM, Last Hour
Each phase is color-coded and labeled with optional start–end times displayed in your chosen time zone.

📈 Opening Ranges

Helps visualize early volatility:

5-min Opening Range (9:30–9:35 ET) – Red

15-min Range (9:30–9:45 ET) – Orange

30-min Range (9:30–10:00 ET) – Violet
Used to measure breakout behavior and morning session direction.

🧮 Technical Architecture

DST_Detector() – Determines when daylight saving time is active per region.

Market_TimeZone_Calculator() – Generates session macros in UTC or local time dynamically.

LowHighSessionDetector() – Tracks the high and low within each session and draws labeled boxes.

draw_session() – Handles visual rendering for timeline zones (background layer).

SplitFunction() – Parses string time ranges into human-readable text for labeling.

📊 Visual Layers

The chart layers follow this order:

Major Sessions (background layer)

ICT Kill Zones (mid layer)

Opening Ranges

ICT Macros (top layer)

Each layer can be toggled on/off individually with color customization.

🧩 Customization Options

Toggle on/off for each zone, macro, or session.

Adjustable timeline bar height (3–30 % of chart).

Optional time display next to macro labels.

Selectable color transparency for each zone.

🧭 Intended Use

This indicator is designed for:

ICT traders analyzing session-based liquidity shifts.

Day traders identifying optimal trading windows.

Market structure enthusiasts visualizing time-based volatility zones.

Combining with Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and SMT Divergences for precise entries.
