Session Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Session Sweeps indicator combines ICT-based features for a complete trading methodology involving market sessions, market structure, and fair value gaps to find optimal entry conditions for trading price action.
Traders frequently tend to place stop/limit orders at the high and low points of major trading sessions such as Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and North American (New York), resulting in the establishment of liquidity pools at those particular levels. The Session Sweeps indicator is crafted to recognize and underscore occurrences of session sweeps or liquidity sweeps during these major trading sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Default settings utilize major forex trading sessions, yet users can select their preferred opening and closing times, rename the sessions, or adjust the colors. It's important to note that the specified times for each session align with the respective local timezones: Asian (Tokyo) UTC+9, European (London) UTC, and North American (New York) UTC-5.
If the price briefly crosses either the highest or lowest point of a market session. These movements, aiming at triggering stop losses, suggest potential shifts in the market direction. Detecting such movements is the fundamental purpose and core functionality of the script.
🔹Market Structure Shifts
A Market Structure Shift refers to a change in market direction, either from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. A part of a common entry model when using session sweeps is waiting for the formation of a CHoCH after a session sweep.
🔹Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) holds particular appeal for price action traders, emerging when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, often a result of uneven buying and selling activity. The underlying concept of FVGs is that the market tends to revisit these inefficiencies before resuming its trajectory in alignment with the initial impulsive move.
After the formation of a CHoCH traders can enter a position when the price enters the area of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹Setup Examples
This entry setup is commonly used by ICT traders and is shared for informational & educational purposes only.
Long Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's low to be swept.
Look for a Bullish Choch.
Find a Bullish FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the session high or aim for a 1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session low or nearest Swing Low.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
Short Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's high to be swept.
Look for a Bearish Choch.
Find a FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the previous session's low or aim for a 1:2 RR.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session high or nearest Swing High.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.

ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.

Statistics: High & Low timings of custom session; 1yr historyGet statistics of the Session High and Session Low timings for any custom session; based on around 1yr of data.
//Purpose:
-To get data on the 'time of day' tendencies of an asset.
-Narrow in on a custom defined session and get statistics on that session.
//Notes:
-Input times are always in New York time (but changing the timezone after setting WILL adust both table stats and background highlight correctly.
-For particularly long sessions, make sure text size is set to 'tiny' (very long vertical table), or adjust table to display horizontally.
-You'll notice most assets show higher readings around NY equities open (9:30am NY time). Other assets will have 'hot-spots' at other times too.
-Timings represent the beginning of a 15m candle. i.e. reading for 15:45 represents a high occurring between 15:45 and 1600.
-Premium users should get 20k bars => around 1year's worth of data on a 15minute chart. Days of history is displayed in the top left corner of the table.
//Limitations
-only designed and working on 15minute timeframe (to gather a full year of meaningful/comparable % stats, need 15minute 'buckets' of time.
-sessions cannot cross through midnight, or start at midnight (00:15 is ok). 00:15 >> 23:45 is the max session length. On BTC, same applies but 01:00 instead of midnight (all in NY time).
-if your session crosses through 'dead time' (e.g. 17:00-18:00 S&P NY time); table will correctly omit these non-existent candles, but it will add on the missing hour before the start time.
//Cautionary note:
-Since markets are not uncommonly in a trending state when your defined session starts or ends, the high/low timings % readings for start and end of session may be misleadingly high. Try to look for unusually high readings that are not at the start/end of your session.

Session TPO Market ProfileIntroduction
Wikipedia: A Market Profile is an intra-day charting technique (price vertical, time/activity horizontal) devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), ca 1959-1985. Steidlmayer was seeking a way to determine and to evaluate market value as it developed in the day time frame. The concept was to display price on a vertical axis against time on the horizontal, and the ensuing graphic generally is a bell shape--fatter at the middle prices, with activity trailing off and volume diminished at the extreme higher and lower prices. In this structure he recognized the 'normal', Gaussian distribution he had been introduced to in college statistics.
Important : The market profile tool is designed to be used on the 30min timeframe, however, you can modify its parameters and use it on lower timeframes (15/10/5min)
This indicators displays the following information
Session open
TPO
Value area calculation zone
POC
Highlight of Single prints
Session High/Low
The current price (TPO Profile is often used isolated without any candlesticks on it)
Parameters
Session beginning configuration (not coded with a session input yet)
Number of candles to use for calculation (default 13 for a single session)
Extend yesterday's levels (VAH/VAL/POC)
Show/Hide Market profile calculation area (background color)
Bars number (number of rows that will be used to draw the profile)
Show/Hide TPO's
TPO Colors customization (For in/out of VA, VAL/VAH/POC/High/Low levels and single prints)
Show/Hide High/Low levels
Show/Hide VAL/VAH/POC Levels as lines
Enable/Disable Single prints highlighting
Value area size (as percent)
Show/Hide current price (corresponding to a line scaled on the "close" price)
Additional Notes
Each session is drawn when the day is over
To use as much space as possible, TPO's are not directly drawn on the area of their calculation (which can be confusing if you use candlesticks directly over it)
This script will probably be updated in the future (especially concerning its implementation which is a bit spaghetti coded for now) .
If you have interesting suggestions about new features that are usual within market profile tools and missing from this script , don't hesitate to suggest it.
[ST] Killzones - Minimal Killzones — Minimal
User Manual
1. Purpose of the Indicator
Killzones — Minimal is a session-based market structure tool designed to highlight the highest-liquidity time windows of the trading day.
Instead of generating signals, this indicator provides context by visually marking the ICT Killzones, allowing the trader to:
Identify where liquidity is built
See which session created the range
Anticipate where liquidity is likely to be taken
Align SMC / Wyckoff / Order Flow analysis with time-based institutional behavior
This tool is especially effective for Crypto, Forex, and Indices, where markets run continuously and liquidity cycles matter more than exchange open times.
2. Killzones Covered (São Paulo Time – UTC-3)
The indicator draws one minimal, dotted box per session:
Session Time (SP) Role in Market Structure
ASIA 21:00 – 03:00 Range formation & liquidity buildup
LONDON 04:00 – 07:00 First liquidity raid & manipulation
NEW YORK (Killzone) 10:00 – 13:00 True displacement & delivery
These are ICT Killzones, not official stock exchange open times.
3. Visual Design Philosophy
The indicator is intentionally minimalist:
Dotted borders → no visual clutter
Optional fill → focus on structure, not noise
No signals or arrows → forces contextual reading
One box per session → clean session boundaries
The goal is to let price action and liquidity tell the story, not indicators.
4. How the Boxes Behave
Each session box:
Starts on the first candle of the session
Expands dynamically to include the session High and Low
Stops updating once the session ends
Remains fixed on the chart as historical context
This allows you to instantly see:
Which session created the current range
Where stop-loss clusters are likely resting
Which session was manipulated or delivered price
5. How to Use the Indicator (Practical Workflow)
Step 1 — Identify the Current Session
Ask:
Are we inside Asia, London, or New York?
Your expectations should change depending on the session.
Step 2 — Read Session Intent
ASIA
Expect compression and balance
Focus on identifying Asia High / Asia Low
Avoid aggressive trades inside the range
LONDON
Look for liquidity raids on Asia High/Low
Many London moves are manipulative
A failed raid is often a setup for NY
NEW YORK
Look for true displacement
High probability of:
Continuation
Reversal after a sweep
Best session to execute trades
Step 3 — Trade Liquidity, Not Candles
Use the boxes as liquidity maps, not entries.
High-probability ideas come from:
Asia range being swept during London
London manipulation being reversed during NY
NY taking remaining liquidity and delivering direction
6. Example Use Cases
Setup 1 — Asia Range Sweep
Asia forms a tight range
London sweeps Asia High or Low
Price fails to continue
Market shifts structure
Entry on OB / FVG toward the opposite side
Setup 2 — London Manipulation → NY Delivery
London sweeps liquidity but stalls
New York opens
NY takes the opposite side liquidity
Strong displacement occurs
Entry on NY pullback
Setup 3 — Session Breakout
No sweep
Immediate strong displacement
Clean continuation
Trade only after confirmation
7. What NOT to Do
Do not trade inside the middle of session boxes
Do not assume every sweep means reversal
Do not force trades without structure shift
Do not treat sessions as signals
The indicator shows where to pay attention, not when to click Buy or Sell.
8. Best Confluence Tools
This indicator works best when combined with:
Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH)
Order Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
Liquidity pools
Volume-based candle analysis (e.g. CandleFlow)
9. Final Notes
Killzones — Minimal is a contextual framework, not a strategy.
If you wait for:
Liquidity to be taken
Structure to shift
Price to confirm intent
You will trade with the market narrative, not against it.
Time reveals intent. Liquidity confirms it.
[turpsy] Midnight Opening Range-Fractal Midnight Open Range-Fractal Combined Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines Midnight Opening Range (MOR) analysis with HTF candle structure and fractal patterns to provide a comprehensive intraday trading framework. Unlike simple mashups, this system integrates three complementary methodologies that work together to identify high-probability trading zones.
Core Components & Synergy
1. MOR (Midnight Opening Range) Indicator
- Tracks the first 30 minutes of each trading day (00:00-00:30)
- Draws historical and current session boxes with quartile levels (25%, 50%, 75%)
- Custom opening price lines for key market times (NY Open 9:30, London Close, etc.)
- Concept:
Price tends to respect the opening range boundaries; quartiles act as support/resistance
2. HTF (Higher Timeframe) Candles
- Displays up to 6 higher timeframe candles alongside your chart
- Shows Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances (VI)
- Presents First Presented FVG (PFVG) - the initial gap after a fractal
- Concept:
HTF structure provides context for LTF entries; FVGs are magnetic price targets
3. Fractal Pattern Detection with CISD
- Identifies swing highs/lows using HTF candle structure
- CISD (Change in State of Delivery) lines mark confirmed fractal breaks
- Chart sweeps show liquidity grabs
- Concept: Fractals mark key market structure; CISD confirms directional bias
4. Killzones & Session Analysis
- Asia, London, NewYork AM/PM, and Lunch sessions
- Session highs/lows with pivot tracking
- Day/Week/Month opens and separators
- Concept: Specific sessions show characteristic volatility and directional behavior
5. ADR/CDR Analysis
- Average Daily Range and Current Daily Range tracking
- Shows percentage of ADR completed
- Concept: Helps gauge if there's room for continuation or if exhaustion is likely
How They Work Together
1. Context: It uses HTF candles and MOR boxes to identify the bigger picture structure
2. Timing: It uses Killzones to show when institutional activity is highest
3. Entry: It uses Fractals with CISD confirm structure breaks; FVGs provide entry zones
4. Risk Management: ADR/CDR helps set realistic profit targets and assess if move is extended
Original Contributions
This script significantly improves upon the base components by:
- Integrating 1-minute data feed for accurate Midnight Open Range calculations on all timeframes
- Adding PFVG detection synchronized with fractal patterns
- Creating logarithmic midpoint calculations between HTF candles
- Implementing chart sweep detection for liquidity analysis
- Adding CISD projection lines at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 extensions
How to Use
1. Enable desired HTF timeframes and MOR settings
2. Watch for PFVG formation after HTF candle closes
3. Look for CISD line breaks during killzone sessions
4. Enter at FVG mitigation zones aligned with MOR quartiles
5. Monitor ADR% to gauge move potential

RiskCraft - Advanced Risk Management SystemRiskCraft – Risk Intelligence Dashboard
Trade like you actually respect risk
"I know the setup looks good… but how much am I actually risking right now?"
RiskCraft is an open-source Pine Script v6 indicator that keeps risk transparent directly on the chart. It is not a signal generator; it is a risk desk that calculates size, frames volatility, and reminds you when your behaviour drifts away from the plan.
Core utilities
Calculates professional-style position sizing in real time.
Reads volatility and market regime before position size is confirmed.
Adjusts risk based on the trader’s emotional state and confidence inputs.
Maps session risk across Asian, London, and New York hours.
Draws exactly one stop line and one target line in the preferred direction.
Provides rotating education tips plus contextual warnings when risk escalates.
It is intentionally conservative and keeps you in the game long enough for any separate entry logic to matter.
---
Chart layout checklist
Use a clean chart on a liquid symbol (e.g., AMEX:SPY or major FX pairs).
Main RiskCraft dashboard placed on the right edge.
Session Risk box on the left with UTC time visible.
Floating risk badge above price.
Stop/target guide lines enabled.
Education panel visible in the bottom-right corner.
---
1. On-chart components
Right-side dashboard : account risk %, position size/value, stop, target, risk/reward, regime, trend strength, emotional state, behavioural score, correlation, and preferred trade direction.
Session Risk box : highlights active session (Asian, London, NY), current UTC time, and risk label (High/Med/Low) per session.
Floating risk badge : keeps actual account risk percent visible with colour-coded wording from Ultra Cautious to Very Aggressive.
Stop/target lines : exactly one dashed stop and one dashed target aligned with the preferred bias.
Education panel : rotates core principles and AI-style warnings tied to volatility, risk %, and behaviour flags.
---
2. Volatility engine – ATR with context 📈
atr = ta.atr(atrLength)
atrPercent = (atr / close) * 100
atrSMA = ta.sma(atr, atrLength)
volatilityRatio = atr / atrSMA
isHighVol = volatilityRatio > volThreshold
ATR vs ATR SMA shows how wild price is relative to recent history.
Volatility ratio above the threshold flips isHighVol , which immediately trims risk.
An ATR percentile rank over the last 100 bars indicates calm versus chaotic regimes.
Daily ATR sampling via request.security() gives higher time-frame context for intraday sessions.
When volatility spikes the script dials position size down automatically instead of cheering for maximum exposure.
---
3. Market regime radar – Danger or Drift 🌊
ema20 = ta.ema(close, 20)
ema50 = ta.ema(close, 50)
ema200 = ta.ema(close, 200)
trendScore = (close > ema20 ? 1 : -1) +
(ema20 > ema50 ? 1 : -1) +
(ema50 > ema200 ? 1 : -1)
= ta.dmi(14, 14)
Regimes covered:
Danger : high volatility with weak trend.
Volatile : volatility elevated but structure still directional.
Choppy : low ADX and noisy action.
Trending : directional flows without extreme volatility.
Mixed : anything between.
Each regime maps to a 1–10 risk score and a multiplier that feeds the final position size. Danger and Choppy clamp size; Trending restores normal risk.
---
4. Behaviour engine – trader inputs matter 🧠
You provide:
Emotional state : Confident, Neutral, FOMO, Revenge, Fearful.
Confidence : slider from 1 to 10.
Toggle for behavioural adjustment on/off.
Behind the scenes:
Each state triggers an emotional multiplier .
Confidence produces a confidence multiplier .
Combined they form behavioralFactor and a 0–100 Behavioural Score .
High-risk emotions or low conviction clamp the final risk. Calm inputs allow normal size. The dashboard prints both fields to keep accountability on-screen.
---
5. Correlation guardrail – avoid stacking identical risk 📊
Optional correlation mode compares the active symbol to a reference (default AMEX:SPY ):
corrClose = request.security(correlationSymbol, timeframe.period, close)
priceReturn = ta.change(close) / close
corrReturn = ta.change(corrClose) / corrClose
correlation = calcCorrelation()
Absolute correlation above the threshold applies a correlation multiplier (< 1) to reduce size.
Dashboard row shows the live correlation and reference ticker.
When disabled, the row simply echoes the current symbol, keeping the table readable.
---
6. Position sizing engine – heart of the script 💰
baseRiskAmount = accountSize * (baseRiskPercent / 100)
adjustedRisk = baseRiskAmount * behavioralFactor *
regimeAdjustment * volAdjustment *
correlationAdjustment
finalRiskAmount = math.min(adjustedRisk,
accountSize * (maxRiskCap / 100))
stopDistance = atr * atrStopMultiplier
takeProfit = atr * atrTargetMultiplier
positionSize = stopDistance > 0 ? finalRiskAmount / stopDistance : 0
positionValue = positionSize * close
Outputs shown on the dashboard:
Position size in units and value in currency.
Actual risk % back on account after adjustments.
Risk/Reward derived from ATR-based stop and target.
---
7. Intelligent trade direction – bias without signals 🎯
Direction score ingredients:
EMA stack alignment.
Price versus EMA20.
RSI momentum relative to 50.
MACD line vs signal.
Directional Movement (DI+/DI–).
The resulting Trade Direction row prints LONG, SHORT, or NEUTRAL. No orders are generated—this is guidance so you only risk capital when the structure supports it.
---
8. Stop/target guide lines – two lines only ✂️
if showStopLines
if preferLong
// long stop below, target above
else if preferShort
// short stop above, target below
Lines refresh each bar to keep clutter low.
When the direction score is neutral, no lines appear.
Use them as visual anchors, not auto-orders.
---
9. Session Risk map – global volatility clock 🌍
Tracks Asian, London, and New York windows via UTC.
Computes average ATR per session versus global ATR SMA.
Labels each session High/Med/Low and colours the cells accordingly.
Top row shows the active session plus current UTC time so you always know the regime you are trading.
One glance tells you whether you are trading quiet drift or the part of the day that hunts stops.
---
10. Floating risk badge – honesty above price 🪪
Text ranges from Ultra Cautious through Very Aggressive.
Colour matches the risk palette inputs (High/Med/Low).
Updates on the last bar only, keeping historical clutter off the chart.
Account risk becomes impossible to ignore while you stare at price.
---
11. Education engine & warnings 📚
Rotates evergreen principles (risk 1–2%, journal trades, respect plan).
Triggers contextual warnings when volatility and risk % conflict.
Flags when emotional state = FOMO or Revenge.
Highlights sub-standard risk/reward setups.
When multiple danger flags stack, an AI-style warning overrides the tip text so you can course-correct before capital is exposed.
---
12. Alerts – hard guard rails 🚨
Excessive Risk Alert : actual risk % crosses custom threshold.
High Volatility Alert : ATR behaviour signals danger regime.
Emotional State Warning : FOMO or Revenge selected.
Poor Risk/Reward Alert : risk/reward drops below your standard.
All alerts reinforce discipline; none suggest entries or exits.
---
13. Multi-market behaviour 🕒
Intraday (1m–1h): session box and badge react quickly; ideal for scalpers needing constant risk context.
Higher time frames (1D–1W): dashboard shifts slowly, supporting swing planning.
Asset classes confirmed in validation: crypto majors, large-cap equities, indices, major FX pairs, and liquid commodities.
Risk logic is price-based, so it adapts across markets without bespoke tuning.
15. Key inputs & recommended defaults
Account Size : 10,000 (modify to match actual account; min 100).
Base Risk % : 1.0 with a Maximum Risk Cap of 2.5%.
ATR Period : 14, Stop Multiplier 2.0, Target Multiplier 3.0.
High Vol Threshold : 1.5 for ATR ratio.
Behavioural Adjustment : enabled by default; disable for fixed risk.
Correlation Check : optional; default symbol AMEX:SPY , threshold 0.7.
Display toggles : main dashboard, risk badge, session map, education panel, and stop lines can be individually disabled to reduce clutter.
16. Usage notes & limits
Indicator mode only; no automated entries or exits.
Trade history panel intentionally disabled (requires strategy context).
Correlation analysis depends on additional data requests and may lag slightly on illiquid symbols.
Session timing uses UTC; adjust expectations if you trade localized instruments.
HTF ATR sampling uses daily data, so bar replay on lower charts may show brief data gaps while HTF loads.

1. Dynamic Session Ranges (The Boxes) Instead of vertical stripes, this indicator draws Boxes that encapsulate the entire price action of a session.
Real-Time Tracking: The box automatically expands to capture the Highest High and Lowest Low of the current session.
Visual Clarity: Instantly see the trading range of Asia, London, and New York to identify breakouts or range-bound conditions.
2. The "Lunch Break" Logic (Unique Feature) Institutional volume often dies down during lunch hours. This indicator allows you to Split the Session to account for these breaks.
Enabled: The script draws two separate boxes (Morning Session vs. Afternoon Session), allowing you to see fresh ranges after the lunch accumulation.
Disabled: The script draws one continuous box for the full session.
3. Manual High-Impact News Scheduler Never get caught on the wrong side of a spike. Since TradingView scripts cannot access live calendars, this tool includes a Manual Scheduler for risk management.
Input: Simply input the time of high-impact events (e.g., CPI, NFP) from ForexFactory into the settings.
Visual: A dashed line appears on the chart at the exact news time.
Audio Alert: The system triggers an alarm 10 minutes before the event, giving you time to manage positions or exit trades.
Default Configuration (Frankfurt Time)
Asian Session: 01:00 - 10:00 (Lunch disabled)
London Session: 09:00 - 17:30 (Lunch: 12:00-13:00)
New York Session: 14:00 - 22:00 (Lunch: 18:00-19:00)
How to Use
Setup: Apply the indicator. The default timezone is Europe/Berlin. If you live elsewhere, simply change the "Your Timezone" setting to your local time (e.g., America/New_York), and the boxes will align automatically.
Daily Routine: Check the economic calendar in the morning. If there is a "Red Folder" event at 14:30, open the indicator settings and enter 14:30 into the News Scheduler.
Trade: Use the Session Highs and Lows as liquidity targets or breakout levels.
Settings & Customization
Timezone: Full support for major global trading hubs.
Colors: Customize the Box fill and Border colors for every session.
Labels: Rename sessions (e.g., "Tokyo" instead of "Asia") via the settings menu.
ALN Sessions Box Breakout — Auto- DSTDevoleper: Sheikh Rakib
What it does
This indicator draws session range boxes for Asia (Dhaka), London, and New York using each market’s own local time (DST-aware). After a session closes, it watches for the first close above the session high or below the session low and then marks that breakout once per session with clear chart markers and optional alerts.
Key features
Auto-DST, per-city timezones
London session uses Europe/London
New York session uses America/New_York
Asia session uses Asia/Dhaka
Your chart timezone doesn’t matter—the sessions track real local hours.
Clean range boxes with adjustable opacity and optional outlines.
Session labels that auto-center at the end of each session.
One-shot breakout signals per session:
Triangle up when price closes above the session high.
Triangle down when price closes below the session low.
Built-in alerts for: session starts and each breakout direction.
Inputs
London / New York / Asia (Dhaka)
Show Session: toggle each session on/off
Time Range: default London 08:00–17:00 (local), New York 08:00–17:00 (local), Asia 06:00–15:00 (Dhaka)
Colour: box color for each session
Settings
Show Session Labels
Show Range Outline
Opacity Preset: Dark / Medium / Light
(UTC Offset input is kept for display, not used in session detection.)
Visuals & alerts
Boxes extend from session open to close, continually updating the high/low.
When the session ends, the final high/low are locked in, the label is centered, and the indicator begins monitoring for a breakout.
Alerts
Session start: Asia/London/New York
Breakouts: “High Breakout” (close > high) and “Low Breakout” (close < low) for each session
Create alerts from the TradingView alert dialog and choose the desired alertcondition.
Logic notes (how signals fire)
While a session is open, its box grows to contain all highs/lows.
On the first bar after close, the script starts listening for a breakout:
Close > session high → one up signal (fires once)
Close < session low → one down signal (fires once)
When the next same session begins, internal flags reset and a new box starts—so signals are inherently scoped to the period between that session’s close and its next open.
Tips
Use on intraday timeframes (e.g., 1m–30m) for clearer box structure.
If you only want specific markets, toggle others off for a cleaner chart.
For systematic entries, combine with your trend/volatility filters and use the breakout alerts as triggers or confirmations—this script doesn’t place trades.
Disclaimer: Market timing and risk management are your responsibility. Past session behavior does not guarantee future performance.
Market SessionsMarket Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific)
Summary
This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking.
It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day.
Who it’s for
Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you.
What it shows
Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions.
Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses.
Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time.
Key Features
Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature.
Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE").
Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on.
Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off.
Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually.
Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high.
Why this helps
Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns.
Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions.
Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan.
Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed.
Quick setup
Go to Timezone Settings.
Decide how you want to enter times:
Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times).
Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin.
Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes.
Style the colors to match your chart theme.

Futures Key LevelsKey Levels — Sessions, Previous Ranges & Opens (Chicago-aligned sessions)
What it does
This indicator plots commonly used reference levels across multiple timeframes to help you frame the day and find confluence:
Sessions (Chicago TZ): London, New York, and Asia session high/low ranges.
Previous Period Ranges: Previous Day / Week / Month / Quarter / Year High/Low and optional Mid.
Opens: Current Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly opens.
Intraday (4H): Previous 4-Hour High/Low + optional Mid.
Monday Range: Captures Monday’s High/Low (and optional Mid) to use as a weekly reference.
Price-scale markers: Optional markers that track key levels on the price scale without adding extra lines.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
Higher-timeframe values are retrieved using request.security() and update when a new period begins (e.g., previous day’s H/L become fixed at the start of the new day).
Session ranges are built from bar data within session windows using time(session, "America/Chicago"):
London: 02:00–05:00 CT
New York: 08:30–15:00 CT
Asia: 20:00–00:00 CT
“Mid” levels are simple midpoints between each period’s High and Low.
Merge Levels: when different levels land at the same price, their labels are merged to reduce clutter (e.g., “PDH / PWH”).
Why this version is useful / original bits
All-white baseline for clean charts; session colors stand out by design: London = Yellow, New York = Aquatic Blue, Asia = Red.
Right-anchored mode lets you park levels to the right side of the chart with a configurable anchor distance.
Label merging keeps the display minimal when multiple levels coincide.
Price-scale-only markers available when you prefer fewer lines on the chart.
Inputs & customization
Display Style: Standard or Right Anchored (+ distance controls).
Levels toggles: enable/disable each period (Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly), Monday range, 4H range, and session ranges.
Text: optional shorthand labels (e.g., PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL).
Colors: global white theme, with session highlights; you can override in the Inputs.
Price-scale markers: on/off toggle.
How to use it
Use previous High/Low as liquidity pools and areas to watch for sweeps, breaks, or retests.
The Monday range often frames the rest of the week; breaks or rejections around Monday H/L can be informative.
The 4H previous range gives intraday context—great for mean-reversion vs. continuation reads.
Session ranges help you see where the active session expanded price and where liquidity may remain.
Notes & limitations
Sessions are computed in America/Chicago; higher-TF levels use the symbol’s exchange timezone.
This is an indicator, not a strategy; it does not place trades or claim performance.
Always combine levels with your own execution rules (structure, momentum, risk).
Credit: inspired by spacemanBTC; this version adds the all-white styling, Chicago-aligned sessions, right-anchoring, label merging, and price-scale markers.

Session Levels [odnac]This indicator plots the high and low levels of the three main trading sessions—Asia, Europe, and New York—along with the previous day’s high, low, and open. Each session’s time range can be customized using a UTC offset, and the indicator automatically tracks session highs and lows as price develops.
Functions:
Plots session highs and lows for Asia, Europe, and New York.
Shows previous day’s high, low, and open as reference levels.
Session times are fully configurable with hour and minute precision, including UTC offset adjustment.
Each session level is marked with both a line and a label for clarity.
Color customization for each session and previous day levels.
Designed for intraday timeframes (1–60 minutes).
Filter Condition:
When the filter option is enabled, the indicator adjusts how levels are drawn:
A session high above the current close is displayed as a solid line with a visible label.
Once price closes above that high, the line becomes dotted and dimmed, and the label also becomes less emphasized.
Similarly, a session low below the current close is displayed as a solid line and label.
If price closes below that low, the line switches to dotted and dimmed, with the label adjusted accordingly.
This behavior highlights only the most relevant levels for the current market position while still keeping breached levels visible in a subdued style, making it easier to spot active breakout or liquidity zones.
Bardhi's ICT Killzone & PivotsThis indicator is a complete ICT-style session and liquidity toolkit designed for precision trading. It automatically marks the most important trading windows (“Killzones”) and provides powerful tools for tracking price action around them.
Key Features:
Killzones: Automatically plots Asia, London, and New York (AM, Lunch, PM) sessions with customizable colors, transparency, and labels.
Session Highs, Lows & Midpoints: Dynamic lines for killzone highs/lows, optional midpoints, and alerts when levels are broken.
Range Statistics: Displays the real-time range of each session plus rolling averages in a customizable table.
Day / Week / Month Levels: Plots opens, highs, lows, and separators for higher-timeframe reference points with optional alerts.
Custom Opening Prices: Define up to 8 custom open lines (e.g., True Day Open, 06:00, 10:00) with cutoff times.
Vertical Timestamp Lines: Highlight important intraday times such as news events or personal strategy triggers.
Day-of-Week Labels: Clean labels for each day, with the option to hide weekends.
Full Customization: Adjustable label sizes, colors, line styles, transparency, and drawing limits.
Why Use It?
This tool combines killzone sessions, pivots, higher-timeframe opens/highs/lows, and range statistics into one clean, automated package. It saves time drawing manually, keeps charts organized, and helps traders apply ICT concepts consistently.
Malama's KAYCAP Pre-Market Box# Pre-Market Single Candle Range Box
## What Makes This Script Original
While many scripts plot entire pre-market session ranges, this indicator focuses specifically on **a single user-defined candle** within the pre-market period rather than the entire session. This targeted approach allows traders to isolate the most relevant price action from a specific time (default: 4:00 AM EST) that often establishes key levels for the trading day.
## Core Methodology & Technical Implementation
**Single Candle Isolation:**
- Captures OHLC data from one specific minute within pre-market hours (user configurable)
- Differentiates between the candle's body (open/close range) and wicks (high/low extremes)
- Creates four distinct reference levels instead of traditional session high/low boxes
**Dual Box Structure:**
- **Inner Box (Body):** Plots the range between open and close prices of the target candle
- **Outer Boundaries:** Separately plots the high and low of that same candle
- **Visual Differentiation:** Uses different colors and line weights to distinguish body vs. wick levels
**Time-Specific Logic:**
The script uses precise time matching (`hour == boxHour and minute == boxMinute`) to capture data from exactly one candle, rather than aggregating an entire session. This creates four specific price levels:
- Box Top: Higher of open/close (body boundary)
- Box Bottom: Lower of open/close (body boundary)
- Box High: Candle high (wick extreme)
- Box Low: Candle low (wick extreme)
## Why This Approach Differs from Standard Session Boxes
**vs. Full Session Ranges:** Focuses on a single critical minute rather than entire pre-market period
**vs. Traditional S/R:** Creates both body and wick levels from one specific candle
**vs. Opening Range:** Uses pre-market data rather than regular session opening minutes
## Practical Application
The 4:00 AM EST default targets a time when institutional pre-market activity often establishes initial sentiment and key levels. By isolating this specific candle's range:
- **Body levels** often act as initial support/resistance during regular hours
- **Wick extremes** provide broader range boundaries for breakout analysis
- **Precise timing** allows focus on the most statistically relevant pre-market moment
## Technical Considerations
- Requires intraday timeframes (1-minute recommended) to capture specific candle data
- Time settings should match your broker's timezone for accurate candle selection
- Works best on liquid instruments where pre-market activity is meaningful
- The selected candle must exist in your data feed for the levels to plot
## Customization Options
All timing parameters are adjustable:
- Target candle hour and minute
- Pre-market session definition (for context)
- Visual styling for all four level types
This focused approach provides more granular analysis than broad session ranges while maintaining simplicity in execution.
Blue Ocean BOATS 24/5 US Market DataThis script utilizes Blue Ocean's ATS (Alternative Trading System) and U.S. exchange market data to create a continuous candlestick chart. The continuous data has the option to be used as an indicator or strategy source.
Requirements
The main chart symbol (which can be unrelated to the user-input Ticker Symbol) needs to be a 24/7 chart. An example symbol is CRYPTO:BTCUSD. CME_MINI:ES1! and FX:SPX500 work too, but are not truly 24/5 and will miss ~4 hours of the total trading week from the extended U.S. session.
The main chart's timeframe needs to be intraday. Because the script's output is currently inconsistent on daily or higher timeframes, it will disable itself.
The Ticker Symbol chosen should be a ticker that is traded on U.S. exchanges. This will provide both U.S. extended session data and a BOATS equivalent.
Usage & configuration
This script visualizes the 24-hour Monday-Friday chart of a U.S. exchange ticker. Going a step further, it can be used to compare the performance indices or cryptocurrencies to stock constituents of indices, cryptocurrency treasury stocks or holding ETFs.
The script's output, candlesticks, can be overlaid on the main chart or used as is. A "Price Source" plot is used for indicators or strategies.
Ticker Symbol: The U.S. ticker you'd like to view extended session and Blue Ocean ATS session data for.
Price Source: Price source that can be used for indicators or strategies.
Highlight Sessions: Highlight the different trading sessions.
Last Price Line: Show a horizontal line at the last traded price.
Ticker Symbol Check: Plots a label that will display only if the selected Ticker Symbol is not detected as a U.S. exchange traded ticker.
Earnings Label: Creates a label at the time of past earnings of the chosen Ticker Symbol. The time that the earnings are plotted is approximate. Because of this, the label is meant as an explanation for price action.
What this script does and how it works
It creates OHLC candlesticks by merging Blue Ocean's ATS market data and U.S. exchange data. From the OHLC data of both, a single output can be used for indicators or strategies.

Hours mentioned are in Eastern Time.
Overnight trading remains far less active than extended hours trading. The hour with the highest overnight volume is 9:00PM, which averages 2.94 million shares per day and coincides with several Asian market opens. This volume is a fraction of the last hour of extended hours trading, which averages 43.22 million shares. The first hour of pre-core reported volume averages 113.30 million shares per day.
Overnight executions, in addition to the peak in the 9:00PM hour, also exhibits a smaller peak at 3:00AM, of 2.35 million shares. This coincides with several Asian bourses’ end of their regular trading day.
Example of using the script in the main chart window and the difference in how RSI may be calculated.
Note: ATS is not the name of the 20:00 to 4:00 ET session itself, and the term refers to a broader definition of trading systems that include dark pools, which can be different.
24/5 Monday-Friday really means NY time Sunday night to Friday afternoon.

Apex Edge - MTF Confluence PanelApex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel
Description:
The Apex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel is a powerful multi-timeframe analysis tool built to streamline trade decision-making by aggregating key confluences across three user-defined timeframes. The panel visually presents the state of five core market signals—Trend, Momentum, Sweep, Structure, and Trap—alongside a unified Score column that summarizes directional bias with clarity.
Traders can customize the number of bullish/bearish conditions required to trigger a score signal, allowing the tool to be tailored for both conservative and aggressive trading styles. This script is designed for those who value a clean, structured, and objective approach to identifying market alignment—whether scalping or swing trading.
How it Works:
Across each of the three selected timeframes, the panel evaluates:
Trend: Based on a user-configurable Hull Moving Average (HMA), the script compares price relative to trend to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral bias.
Momentum: Uses OBV (On-Balance Volume) with volume spike detection to identify bursts of strong buying or selling pressure.
Sweep: Detects potential liquidity grabs by identifying price rejections beyond prior swing highs/lows. A break below a previous low with reversal signals bullish intent (and vice versa for bearish).
Structure: Uses dynamic pivot-based logic to identify market structure breaks (BOS) beyond recent confirmed swing levels.
Trap: Flags potential false moves by measuring RSI overbought/oversold signal clusters combined with minimal price movement—highlighting exhaustion or deceptive breaks.
Score: A weighted consensus of the above components. The number of required confluences to trigger a score (default: 3) can be set by the user via input, offering flexibility in signal sensitivity.
Why It’s Useful for Traders:
Quick Decision-Making: The color-coded panel provides instant visual feedback on whether confluences align across timeframes—ideal for fast-paced environments like scalping or high-volatility news sessions.
Multi-Timeframe Confidence: Helps eliminate guesswork by confirming whether higher and lower timeframe conditions support your trade idea.
Customizability: Adjustable confluence threshold means traders can fine-tune how sensitive the system is—more signals for faster entries, stricter confluence for higher conviction trades.
Built-In Alerts: Automated alerts for score alignment, trap detection, and liquidity sweeps allow traders to stay informed even when away from the screen.
Strategic Edge: Supports directional bias confirmation and trade filtering with logic designed to mimic professional decision-making workflows.
Features:
Clean, real-time confluence table across three user-selected timeframes
Configurable score sensitivity via “Minimum Confluences for Score” input
Cell-based colour coding for at-a-glance trade direction
Built-in alerts for score alignment, traps, and sweep triggers
Note - This Indicator works great in sync with Apex Edge - Session Sweep Pro
Useful levels for TP = previous session high/low boxes or fib levels.

Opening Range and Market BoundariesOpening Range and Market Boundaries
This versatile and insightful indicator combines two powerful concepts frequently used by professional traders: Opening Range Analysis and Market Boundaries derived from previous high/low levels. It is specifically designed to support intraday trading strategies and helps you identify key price zones for entries, exits, and breakout confirmations.
🔍 Features & Utility
1. Opening Range Box
What it does:
Highlights the high and low of the first candle after market open (9:15 AM IST) with a shaded box. This box spans the full trading session, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, representing the key price range where the initial balance is formed.
Timeframe Compatibility:
The Opening Range box is optimized for 1-minute to 1-hour charts. It is most effective on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m) where intraday price movements and breakout patterns can be clearly observed.
Usage Tips:
Breakouts above or below the Opening Range box can signal potential directional bias for the rest of the trading day.
Price consolidating within the range may indicate a choppy or range-bound session.
Works well with volume and momentum indicators for confirmation.
2. Market Boundaries
What it does:
Plots horizontal lines at:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
Why it matters:
These levels act as natural support and resistance zones, and are commonly watched by institutional traders, making them crucial for:
Spotting reversals or breakouts
Planning stop-loss and target zones
Avoiding trades around high-rejection areas
Customization Options:
Toggle ON/OFF for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels.
Independent colors and line thickness for each level, enabling you to distinguish between different timeframes easily.
🛠️ How to Use Effectively
Use during market open:
Switch to a 5-minute or 15-minute chart during the first few candles of the session. Observe the Opening Range box formation and plan trades based on breakout direction.
Confluence Trading:
Look for price action near previous session highs/lows in confluence with the Opening Range box edges. These intersections often become high-probability zones for breakouts or reversals.
Session Preparation:
Before the market opens, analyze where the price is relative to past high/low boundaries. If it's near a weekly/monthly level, be cautious — those areas can cause whipsaws or false breakouts.
Avoid low-volume breakouts:
Use this indicator in conjunction with volume tools or price action confirmation to validate the strength of a move outside the Opening Range or Market Boundaries.
📌 Summary
This indicator is designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who want a reliable structure to guide their decisions. It visually marks the opening balance of the market and essential higher timeframe boundaries, helping you trade with discipline and precision.

✨ Key Features
Auto-Anchored VWAP 📊
Automatically calculates the VWAP based on a user-defined anchor period (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
