Practical Application of VWAP Bands
Understanding VWAP
VWAP is a trading benchmark that calculates the average price a security has traded at throughout the day based on volume and price. It is primarily used for intraday trading but can also offer insights during end-of-day reviews.
Using VWAP for Trading
Intraday Trading
Entry and Exit Points: VWAP can help identify optimal buy and sell points. Buy when the price is above VWAP and sell when it's below.
Support and Resistance: VWAP often acts as a dynamic support/resistance level. Prices tend to revert to VWAP, making it a crucial level for intraday traders.
Trend Confirmation
Uptrends and Downtrends: In an uptrend, the price will generally stay above VWAP. Conversely, in a downtrend, it will stay below. Use this to confirm market direction.
Combining with Other Indicators
Moving Averages and Bollinger Bands: Combining VWAP with these indicators can provide a more robust trading signal, confirming trends and potential reversals.
Setting Stop-Loss and Profit Targets
Conservative Stop Orders: Place stop orders at recent lows for pullback trades.
Profit Targets: Use daily highs or Fibonacci extension levels to set profit targets.
Strategies for Using VWAP
Pullback Strategy
Buy during pullbacks to VWAP in an uptrend, and sell during rallies to VWAP in a downtrend.
Breakout Strategy
Look for breakouts above/below VWAP after the market open to capitalize on new trends.
Momentum Trading
Use VWAP to confirm the strength of a trend. Buy when the price is consistently above VWAP and sell when it's consistently below.
Institutional Strategies
Institutional traders use VWAP to execute large orders without causing significant market impact, ensuring trades are made around the average price.
By incorporating these strategies, traders can better understand market dynamics, make informed trading decisions, and manage their risk effectively.

ICT Index Futures Session LinesICT Index Futures Session Lines
Description:
The script is based on one of ICT's concepts on trading Index Futures. The script lays out the daily range from an intraday basis.
Range:
00:00 - New York Midnight
08:30 – New York Open (News events come out)
12:00/13:00 - New York Lunch (No trade time period)
13:30 - (Algorithm)
16:30 - Close
* The open, high and low lines are plotted from 00:00 to 08:30
How To Use:
You will need to check the daily bias. Prior to 8:30 you are to look for previous swing points where liquidity may exist. During the open you want to see if a high or low is taken out, and then wait for an energetic break/displacement for a potential FVG/imbalance retracement entry.
Strategy is for LTF (1 to 15m)
Default time zone is set to America/New_York (UTC New York), so lines will be plotted correctly regardless of user’s local UTC chart setting.

[FN] Session Range & Date Range For BacktestingThis has been done before in different ways, however, my goal is to publish a single, simplified copy/paste version of the idea so you can quickly and easily incorporate it into your strategy backtesting.
You can designate weekdays, weekdays + weekends for 24/7 markets, and also session range.
So, you trade bitcoin? It works. CME futures? It works. You are a discretionary trader so the only signals that matter are the ones that happen when you're awake? It works. Copy and paste.
The goal is that its that easy. You'll have to let me know if it is. glhf everyone.
If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to copy/paste this directly into your strategy script (Paste it in before your entry declarations). Just leave out the last 2 lines where the bgcolor() is declared... unless you want the background color lit up, that's up to you. It's just for demonstration purposes in this script.
After you've pasted it in, then in your strategy.entry() function you are adding: to the strategy.entry() function.
e.g:
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty=1, when = ENTRY_SIGNAL and signal_backtest())

SessionsThis is an advanced level sessions indicator.
Not so much an indicator, more of an auto way of plotting levels rather than drawing levels by hand every day.
It maps out the London and New York Sessions.
It also maps out the closing time and price for future reference.
Daily high and low of the past few days are laid out.
Each setting can be turned on and off in the settings if you don't require that session info.
The time settings are setup according to NY time. It should work straight without any modifications.
If you are a price action trader using sessions, this indicator will help you track price movement between sessions and give you possible support and resistance levels based on the previous session close.
This indicator does require allot of sessions based trading knowledge but if you understand it, it can be of major use to you.

Sessions [Plug&Play]This indicator automatically highlights the three major FX trading sessions—Asia, London, and New York—on your chart and, at the close of each session, draws right-extended horizontal rays at that session’s high and low. It’s designed to help you visually identify when price is trading within each session’s range and to quickly see where the highest and lowest prices occurred before the next major session begins.
Key Features:
Session Boxes
Draws a semi-transparent box around each session’s timeframe (Asia, London, New York) based on your local UTC offset.
Each box dynamically expands in real time: as new candles form during the session, the box’s top and bottom edges update to match the highest high and lowest low seen so far in that session.
When the session ends, the box remains on your chart, anchored to the exact candles that formed its boundaries.
High/Low Rays
As soon as a session closes (e.g., London session ends at 17:00 UTC+0 by default), two horizontal rays are drawn at that session’s final high and low.
These rays are “pinned” to the exact candles where the high/low occurred, so they stay in place when you scroll or zoom.
Each ray extends indefinitely to the right, providing a clear reference of the key supply/demand levels created during that session.
Session Labels
Optionally places a small “London,” “New York,” or “Asia” label at the top edge of each completed session’s box.
Labels are horizontally centered within the session’s box and use a contrasting, easy-to-read font color.
Customizable Appearance
Show/Hide Each Session: Toggle display of London, New York, and Asia sessions separately.
Time Ranges: By default, London is 08:00–17:00 (UTC), New York is 13:00–22:00 (UTC), and Asia is 00:00–07:00 (UTC). You can override each session’s start/end times using the “Time Range” picker.
Color & Opacity: Assign custom colors to each session. Choose a global “Dark,” “Medium,” or “Light” opacity preset to adjust box fill transparency and border shading.
Show/Hide Labels & Outlines: Turn the text labels and the box borders on or off independently.
UTC Offset Support
If your local broker feed or price data is not in UTC, simply adjust the “UTC Offset (+/–)” input. The indicator will recalculate session start/end times relative to your chosen offset.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator:
Open TradingView’s Pine Editor, paste in this script, and click “Add to Chart.”
By default, you’ll see three translucent boxes appear once each session begins (Asia, London, New York).
Watch in Real Time:
As soon as a session starts, its box will appear anchored to the first candle. The top and bottom of the box expand if new extremes occur.
When the session closes, the final box remains visible and two horizontal rays mark that session’s high and low.
Analyze Key Levels:
Use the high- and low-level rays to gauge session liquidity zones—areas where stop orders, breakouts, or reversals often occur.
For example, if London’s high is significantly above current price, it may act as resistance in the New York session.
Customize to Your Needs:
Toggle specific sessions on/off (e.g., if you only care about London and New York).
Change each session’s color to match your chart theme.
Adjust the “UTC Offset” so sessions align with your local time.
Disable labels or box borders if you prefer a cleaner look.
Inputs Overview:
Show London/New York/Asia Session (bool): Show or hide each session’s box and its high/low rays.
Time Range (session): Defines the start/end of each session in “HHMM–HHMM” (24h) format.
Colour (color): Custom color for each session’s box fill, border, and high/low rays.
Show Session Labels (bool): Toggle the “London,” “New York,” “Asia” text that appears at the top of each completed box.
Show Range Outline (bool): Toggle the box border (if off, only a translucent fill is drawn).
Opacity Preset (Dark/Medium/Light): Controls transparency of box fill and border.
UTC Offset (+/–) (int): Adjusts session times for different time zones (e.g., +1 for UTC+1).
Why It’s Useful:
Quickly Identify Session Activity: Visually distinguish when each major trading session is active, then compare price action across sessions.
Pinpoint High/Low Liquidity Levels: Drawn rays highlight where the market hit its extremes—critical zones for stop orders or breakout entries.
Multi-Timeframe Context: By seeing historical session boxes and rays, you can locate recurring supply/demand areas, overlap zones, or session re-tests.
Fully Automated Workflow: Once added to your chart, the script does all the work of tracking session boundaries and drawing high/low lines—no manual box or line drawing necessary.
Example Use Cases:
London Breakout Traders: See where London’s high/low formed, then wait for price to revisit those levels during the New York session.
Range Breakout Strategies: If price consolidates inside the London box, use the boxed extremes as immediate targets for breakout entries.
Intraday Liquidity Swings: During quieter hours, watch Asia’s high/low to identify potential support/resistance before London’s opening.
Overlap Zones: Compare London’s range with Asia’s range to find areas of confluence—high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
Session VWAPS [QuantVue]The Session VWAPS indicator is a designed for traders to enhance their trading analysis by incorporating Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) anchored to custom-defined trading sessions.
This indicator automatically plots VWAPs at three critical points of a user defined session:
🔹session start
🔹session high
🔹session low
Additionally, it provides the option to display the VWAPs from previous sessions, offering a look at potential areas of support and resistance.
Anchored VWAP, or Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a technical analysis tool used to determine the average price of a stock weighted by volume, starting from a specific point in time chosen by the analyst.
Unlike traditional VWAP, which starts at the beginning of the trading session, the anchored VWAP allows traders to select any point on the chart, such as a significant event, price low, high, or a breakout, to begin the calculation.
VWAP incorporates price and volume in a weighted average and can be used to identify areas of support and resistance on the chart.
Indicator Features:
Custom Session Definition:
Users can define their own trading sessions by specifying start and end times, allowing for tailored analysis according to individual trading strategies or market hours.
Anchored VWAP at Three Key Points:
🔹Session Start VWAP: This VWAP is anchored at the start of the defined session.
🔹Session High VWAP: Anchored at the highest price point within the session.
🔹Session Low VWAP: Anchored at the lowest price point within the session.
Previous Session VWAPs:
The indicator can display VWAPs from the previous session, allowing traders to spot potential areas of support and resistance.

Session Fibonacci Levels [QuantVue]The "Session Fibonacci Levels" indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who aim to use Fibonacci retracement and extension levels in their trading strategy.
The indicator combines Fibonacci levels with customized trading sessions, allowing traders to observe and utilize Fibonacci levels that are automatically calculated for each defined session.
This approach offers a dynamic and session-relevant perspective on potential support and resistance levels, which can be crucial for intraday trading strategies.
🔹The indicator calculates Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the high and low prices of a specified trading session, dynamically adjusting to the location of the high and low bar.
If the low of the session occurs before the high, the fib levels are measured from low to high.
If the low of the session occurs after the high, the fib levels are measured from high to low.
🔹Users can set their time zone and define trading sessions, allowing for flexibility and applicability across global markets. This is particularly beneficial for traders who focus on specific market hours like the London or New York sessions.
Important sessions:
New York (8:00am - 5:00pm EST)
London (3:00am - 12:00pm EST)
Asia (7:00pm - 4:00am EST)
Custom session (user defined session in indicator settings)
🔹The indicator dynamically updates Fibonacci levels as new highs and lows are made within the session, keeping the analysis current. Additionally, it provides alerts when prices hit key Fibonacci levels, aiding in timely decision-making.
How to Use:
Configure the time zone and session time
Once the session begins, the indicator will begin highlighting the session range
When the session ends, Fibonacci levels based on the high and low of the session will be drawn
Use these levels to identify potential support and resistance areas
Sessions [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
Sessions is a trading toolkit that displays the different trading sessions on your chart during a trading day. By default, Sessions displays the four standard trading sessions; New York, Tokyo, London, and Sydney.
Each of the four sessions can be toggled, and the Sessions indicator is completely customizable, allowing users to define their own sessions to be generated by the script.
The aim of this script is to improve the trading experience of users by automatically displaying information about each default or custom session to the user.
█ USAGE
This script will automatically detect and label different market sessions. By default, the script will identify the four standard trading sessions, but each of these can be toggled off in the settings.
However, users are not limited to these four trading sessions and have the ability to define their own sessions to be identified by the script. When a session begins, the script will automatically start outlining the market data of that session, including the high and low of the period that is represented by the session.
If the market is within two or more sessions at the same time, then each session will be treated individually and will overlap with each other.
The sessions will be identified as a colored box surrounding the market data of the period that it represents, and a label will be displayed above the box to identify the session that it represents. The label, color and period of each session is completely customizable.
The user can also adjust all sessions at once to account for timezones in the settings.
█ SETTINGS
Session 1
• Session 1: Determines whether or not this session will be drawn by the script.
• A string field to determine the name of the session that will be displayed above the session range.
• Two time fields representing the start and finish of the session.

Session Statistical Mapping° [Pro+] (Joshuuu)Introduction:
Dive into the dynamic world of statistical market analysis with Session Statistical Mapping Pro+, an advanced tool designed for intraday traders of all asset classes.
Description:
This indicator offers a detailed algorithmic statistical measurement of Time and price, integrating the principles of Inner Circle Trader (ICT) to analyze the market behaviours such as Manipulation, and Distribution. This tool supercharges your trading strategies with data-driven insights.
ICT traders classify manipulation as a movement to trap market participants in the "wrong" direction. This allows analysts to anticipate the intended real direction of the distribution phase.
On the other hand, when price distributes, it's looking to expand for higher – or lower – prices. Analysts can therefore note distribution levels for a draw on liquidity, retracement, or reversal.
These levels and the Time at which they are reached during the selected session, will provide important information about orderflow when price trades through them and the sequence in which the delivery occurs.
Additionally, to amplify the price mapping, this tool plots the average Time at which its manipulation and distribution phases should complete. This feature allows traders to utilize historical Timings in conjunction with the price levels of manipulation and distribution.
As with any historical data driven tool, analysts should not expect past behaviour to match future performance. This tool was created with a data driven edge to bring attention to when sessions are likely to turn after their manipulations, or retrace after completing set distributions.
Key Features:
Algorithmic Measurement of Price: Leverage algorithmic theory to measure price movements with precision. This tool calculates average session manipulation and distribution price levels, providing traders with actionable insights based on historical data – key manipulation and distribution levels.
Algorithmic Measurement of Time: Utilize algorithmic theory to measure time-based movements within specific sessions. This tool calculates the projected average Time at which the manipulation and distribution phases are completed during a given session. This feature enhances traders' ability to interpret market movements and align their strategies with Time data.
Four Sessions Times: Customize up to four Time ranges to focus on specific trading sessions, such as the European, US, or Asian market sessions. This allows traders to align their analysis with the operational hours of major market participants, capturing the most relevant price movements. Traders can also create unique sessions based on their trading Time to study market behaviour when they usually operate in the markets – unlocking a level of understanding towards their personal backtested model and strategies.
Flexible Calculation: The sample size of the sessions can be set to a specific number – the default is 1000. This allows traders to adjust the depth of historical data used in their analysis, balancing detail and performance.
Further Customization:
Custom Appearance: Adjust the style of session lines with options like dotted, solid, and various colors. This helps traders visually distinguish between different types of market activities (e.g., Open, Manipulation, Distribution) on their charts.
Lookback Periods: Option to show available lookback periods for a deeper historical analysis, providing context and historical benchmarks for current market conditions.
Extended Visualization: Pre-extend lines until session close for better visualization of market phases. This helps traders see the continuation of trends and market behaviours beyond the immediate session.
Clean Chart Layout: Options to delete old labels and abbreviate labels maintain a clean and organized chart, enhancing readability and focus.
Conclusion
By incorporating algorithmic theory Time and price measurements, historical data insights, and the principles of Inner Circle Trader (ICT), this indicator offers a comprehensive approach to understanding market behaviour. Whether you're analyzing price patterns, timing market movements, or combining both, Session Statistical Mapping Pro+ equips you with the potential roadmap of an asset, allowing you to navigate the complexities of the market’s volatility.
Usage Guidance:
Add Session Statistical Mapping Pro to your Tradingview chart.
Choose up to 4 sessions for the mapping to plot on your chart, be sure to adjust your style and visual preferences to differentiate the sessions’ levels.
Observe how calculated manipulation, distributions, and delivery times align together with predetermined analysis.
Leverage this information with other models and insights to create a stronger narrative for your analysis.
