Custom Colored Session (Pre, Open, Close, Post, Outside)Another script enabling coloring of sessions. Variables for all session timings and colors are exposed. Backgrounds and/or dividers can be enabled. If you only want dividers, just uncheck all of the background sections.
Note: Due to the way weekends are handled on some exchanges, displaying the divider on Friday is not possible.
Note: Displaying backgrounds or dividers in the future does not seem to be possible. I would gladly add this if I can figure it out.

Day Trading Booster by DGTTiming when day trading can be everything
In Stock markets typically more volatility (or price activity) occurs at market opening and closings
When it comes to Forex (foreign exchange market), the world’s most traded market, unlike other financial markets, there is no centralized marketplace, currencies trade over the counter in whatever market is open at that time, where time becomes of more importance and key to get better trading opportunities. There are four major forex trading sessions, which are Sydney , Tokyo , London and New York sessions
Forex market is traded 24 hours a day, 5 days a week across by banks, institutions and individual traders worldwide, but that doesn’t mean it’s always active the entire day. It may be very difficult time trying to make money when the market doesn’t move at all. The busiest times with highest trading volume occurs during the overlap of the London and New York trading sessions, because U.S. dollar (USD) and the Euro (EUR) are the two most popular currencies traded. Typically most of the trading activity for a specific currency pair will occur when the trading sessions of the individual currencies overlap. For example, Australian Dollar (AUD) and Japanese Yen (JPY) will experience a higher trading volume when both Sydney and Tokyo sessions are open
There is one influence that impacts Forex matkets and should not be forgotten : the release of the significant news and reports. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, currency can lose or gain value within a matter of seconds
Cryptocurrency markets on the other hand remain open 24/7, even during public holidays
Until 2021, the Asian impact was so significant in Cryptocurrency markets but recent reasearch reports shows that those patterns have changed and the correlation with the U.S. trading hours is becoming a clear evolving trend.
Unlike any other market Crypto doesn’t rest on weekends, there’s a drop-off in participation and yet algorithmic trading bots and market makers (or liquidity providers) can create a high volume of activity. Never trust the weekend’ is a good thing to remind yourself
One more factor that needs to be taken into accout is Blockchain transaction fees, which are responsive to network congestion and can change dramatically from one hour to the next
In general, Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, which means that the price of a coin can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction
The Bottom Line
The more traders trading, the higher the trading volume, and the more active the market. The more active the market, the higher the liquidity (availability of counterparties at any given time to exit or enter a trade), hence the tighter the spreads (the difference between ask and bid price) and the less slippage (the difference between the expected fill price and the actual fill price) - in a nutshell, yield to many good trading opportunities and better order execution (a process of filling the requested buy or sell order)
The best time to trade is when the market is the most active and therefore has the largest trading volume, trading all day long will not only deplete a trader's reserves quickly, but it can burn out even the most persistent trader. Knowing when the markets are more active will give traders peace of mind, that opportunities are not slipping away when they take their eyes off the markets or need to get a few hours of sleep
What does the Day Trading Booster do?
Day Trading Booster is designed ;
- to assist in determining market peak times, the times where better trading opportunities may arise
- to assist in determining the probable trading opportunities
- to help traders create their own strategies. An example strategy of when to trade or not is presented below

- Day (Session) Open, 5m, 15m or 1h Opening Range
- Day (Session) Referance Levels, based on Average True Range (ATR) or Previous Day (Session) Range (PH - PL)
- Week and Month Open
Day Trading Booster also includes some of the day trader's preffered indicaotrs, such as ;

- Pivot High/Low detection - Another custom interpretation of Pivot Points High Low indicator.
- A Moving Average with option to choose among SMA, EMA, WMA and HMA
An example strategy - Channel Bearkout Strategy
When day trading a trader usually monitors/analyzes lower timeframe charts and from time to time may loose insight of what really happens on the market from higher time porspective. Do not to forget to look at the larger time frame (than the one chosen to trade with) which gives the bigger picture of market price movements and thus helps to clearly define the trend

Trading Sessions Highs/Lows | InvrsROBINHOODTrading Sessions Highs/Lows | InvrsROBINHOOD
🚀 A powerful indicator for tracking key trading sessions and the highs and lows of each session!
📌 Description
The Trading Sessions Highs/Lows indicator visually marks the most critical trading sessions—Asia, London, and New York—using small colored dots at the bottom of the candle. It also tracks and plots the highs and lows of each session, along with the Daily Open and Weekly Open levels.
This tool is designed to help traders identify session-based liquidity zones, price reactions, and potential trade setups with minimal chart clutter.
Key Features:
✅ Session markers (Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, NY PM) plotted as small dots
✅ Plots session highs and lows for market structure insights
✅ Daily Open line for intraday reference
✅ Weekly Open line for higher timeframe bias
✅ Alerts for session high/low breaks to capture momentum shifts
✅ User-defined UTC offset for global traders
✅ Customizable session colors for personal preference
📖 How to Use the Indicator
1️⃣ Understanding the Sessions
Asia Session (Yellow Dot) → Marks liquidity buildup & pre-London moves
London Session (Blue Dot) → Strong volatility, breakout opportunities
New York AM Session (Green Dot) → Major trends & institutional participation
New York Lunch (Red Dot) → Low volume, ranging market
New York PM Session (Dark Green Dot) → End-of-day movements & reversals
2️⃣ Session Highs & Lows for Market Structure
Session Highs can act as resistance or breakout points.
Session Lows can act as support or stop-hunt zones.
Break of a session high/low with volume may indicate continuation or reversal.
3️⃣ Using the Daily & Weekly Open
The Daily Open (Black Line) helps gauge the intraday trend.
Above Daily Open → Bearish Bias
Below Daily Open → Bullish Bias
The Weekly Open (Red Line) sets the higher timeframe directional bias.
4️⃣ Alerts for Breakouts
The indicator will trigger alerts when price breaks session highs or lows.
Useful for setting stop-losses, breakout trades, and risk management.
💡 Why This Indicator is Important for Beginners
1️⃣ Avoids Overtrading:
Many beginners trade in low-volume periods (NY Lunch, Asia session) and get stuck in choppy price action.
This indicator highlights when volatility is high so traders focus on better opportunities.
2️⃣ Session-Based Liquidity Traps:
Market makers often run stops at session highs/lows before reversing.
Watching session breaks prevents traders from falling into liquidity grabs.
3️⃣ Reduces Emotional Trading:
If price is above the Daily Open, a beginner shouldn’t look for shorts.
If price is below a key session low, it may signal a fake breakout.
4️⃣ Aligns with Institutional Trading:
Smart money traders use session highs/lows to set stop hunts & reversals.
Beginners can use this indicator to spot these zones before entering trades.
🛡️ How to Mitigate Risk with This Indicator
✅ Wait for Confirmations – Don’t trade blindly at session highs/lows. Look for wicks, rejections, or break/retests.
✅ Use Stop-Loss Above/Below Session Levels – If you’re going long, set SL below a session low. If short, set SL above a session high.
✅ Watch Volume & News Events – Breakouts without strong volume or news may be fake moves.
✅ Combine with Other Strategies – Use price action, trendlines, or EMAs with this indicator for higher probability trades.
✅ Use the Weekly Open for Trend Bias – If price stays below the Weekly Open, avoid bullish setups unless key support holds.
🎯 Who is This Indicator For?
📌 Beginners who need clear session-based trading levels.
📌 Day traders & scalpers looking to refine their intraday setups.
📌 Smart money traders using liquidity concepts.
📌 Swing traders tracking higher timeframe momentum shifts.
🚀 Final Thoughts
This indicator is an essential tool for traders who want to understand market structure, liquidity, and volatility cycles. Whether you’re trading forex, stocks, or crypto, it helps you stay on the right side of the market and avoid unnecessary risks.

ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones
Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.
The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
Combining kill zones and pivot points in financial market analysis provides several advantages :
Enhanced Market Sentiment Analysis : Aligns key price levels with high-activity periods for a clearer market sentiment.
Improved Timing for Trade Entries and Exits : Helps better time trades based on when price movements are most likely.
Higher Probability of Successful Trades : Increases the accuracy of predicting market movements and placing profitable trades.
Strategic Stop-Loss and Profit Target Placement : Allows for precise risk management by strategically setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Versatility Across Different Time Frames : Effective in both short and long time frames, suitable for various trading strategies.
Enhanced Trend Identification and Confirmation : Confirms trends using both pivot levels and high-activity periods, ensuring stronger trend validation.
In essence, this integrated approach enhances decision-making, optimizes trading performance, and improves risk management.
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points
There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.

matrixx Global Sessions + Good/Premium Spread ZonesSimple (enough) Script that allows you to visualize the major trading sessions, with some QoL stuff, Includes a "Monday Open" bar for reference when zooming out.
By default no one 'session' is turned on; instead, we have;
Good Zone - where spread tends to close up enough for (me) to trade in the 1-minute timezones
Premium Zone - where the tightest spreads tend to happen and I (you?) can get more aggressive with Stop Losses, and moment-to-moment trade accuracy.
The Monday Open - for reference.
You are able to go into the settings and turn these on and off at will, making any combination of 'zones' you prefer, and can colour code them, as well.
Points of Difference;
You can turn on and off any group or set of sessions for an overview;
Additionally, this is coded so that if there is a "Daylight Saving" or other localized timezone shift, it should be reflected correcty, as timezones are calculated based on each sessions' data, not arbitrarily with +/- as most of the other scripts that do similar to this one.
Monday Open
you can toggle sessions, or instead toggle the 'off hour' zones, at will

VWAP Balance Zones - SessionsVWAP Balance Zones Sessions Version is an alternate take on the Original VWAP Balance Zones indicator. The Sessions version allows users to select a specific session to view the VWAP Balance Zones at while still utilizing the full ETH Data.
The Session version provides a better focused display while still maintaining the core functions of the original script with mindful optimizations.
Author's Note: "VBZ Sessions was made with logistics in mind, for the users who only trade within certain times of the day. While it displays the same core concepts, it is not as "Raw" of a display as the Original. For this reason, some users may prefer the Original VWAP Balance Zones, which is why I have opted to release this alternate version instead of updating the original."
> What are VWAP Balance Zones?
"VWAP Balance Zones" is an original concept aimed at identifying the equilibrium area between market participants within the current trend by averaging the Daily Extremes and the Daily VWAP.
Refer to the illustration below for a better understanding of exactly how VWAP Balance Zones are formed:
These zones are displayed for the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, with the most interactive timeframe being the Daily.
> Features
1. The Session Version uses ETH data at all times, and does not solely rely on the chart's data to create the VWAPs or Zones.
This allows the user to focus on a specific trading session, while not losing out on the full VBZ Calculation, with the notable benefit of a cleaner display.
The Original VBZ starts drawing at the beginning of the chart's "Day", and would produce different results when using an RTH chart vs an ETH chart. Along with creating a bird's nest of unusable data at the beginning of the day.
2. Session Start and End lines are displayed for easier identification of the designated trading session.
3. The extreme "Close" Lines are no longer displayed to reduce noise and redundancy.
4. Additionally, the interior VWAP lines are no longer displayed. Ultimately, this was to reduce noise and focus the script on the 50% zones.
5. Weekly and Monthly Zones are now displayed due to the reduced noise!
6. As with the original, the weekly display will yield to the daily, and the monthly display will yield to the weekly.
In the screenshot below, you can observe this behavior.
Enjoy!
Market Session Times by MadDogMoneyMarket Sessions is a simple indicator allowing you to quickly see the 3 Major Trading Session Open and Close times
Three major Sessions - Asia, UK & NY are included.
(The Australian & Asian markets are so close on time, they have been joined for brevity.)
The Open & Close times for each Session is displayed in the Settings in UTC and can be edited depending on the time of year or market you are following.
By setting the Session indicators partially transparent (as is by default), you can quickly see which Market Sessions, and for how long, they overlap.
Additionally, the Indicator can be hidden for different timeframes.
- 1 HR is the upper limit of visibility
- Visibility on the 1HR, 15min and 5min and below can be toggled on an off to fit your requirements.
Silver Bullet SessionsThe Silver Bullet Sessions indicator is a specialized timing tool designed to highlight key market sessions throughout the trading day. By marking specific hours with vertical lines, it helps traders identify potentially significant market moments that often coincide with increased volatility and trading opportunities.
This indicator plots vertical lines at six strategic times during the trading day: 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. These times are carefully selected to correspond with important market events and session overlaps in the global trading cycle. The early morning hours (3-4 AM) often capture significant Asian market movements and the European market opening. The mid-morning period (10-11 AM) typically corresponds with peak European trading hours and the pre-US market dynamics. The afternoon times (2-3 PM) coincide with key US market activities and the European market close.
The indicator is implemented using Pine Script version 6, ensuring compatibility with the latest TradingView platform features. It employs a clean, efficient coding structure that minimizes resource usage while maintaining reliable performance. The vertical lines are rendered in blue for clear visibility against any chart background, and their width is optimized for easy identification without obscuring price action.
Traders can use these visual markers to:
Plan their entries and exits around these key time periods
Anticipate potential market volatility
Structure their trading sessions around these significant market hours
Identify session-based trading patterns
lib_session_gapsLibrary "lib_session_gaps"
simple lib to calculate the gaps between sessions
time_gap()
calculates the time gap between this and previous session (in case of irregular end of previous session, considering extended sessions)
Returns: the time gap between this and previous session in ms (time - time_close )
bar_gap()
calculates the bars missing between this and previous session (in case of irregular end of previous session, considering extended sessions)
Returns: the bars virtually missing between this and previous session (time gap / bar size in ms)
Equity Sessions [vnhilton]Note: Numbers in the chart above, particularly volume, are incorrect as I didn't have extra market data at the time of publication. Default settings are set for US markets.
(OVERVIEW)
This indicator was made specifically for equity markets which have pre-market and after-hours trading, though can be used for any other markets without these sessions, there are many other session indicators better suited for those markets. What makes this indicator different to the hundreds of session indicators out there will be highlighted in bold in the Features section below.
(FEATURES)
- After-Hours session can start earlier if the day ends short and starts after-hours trading earlier due to holidays for example
- Sessions constrained to regular trading hours can also adjust for short days as well
- Show volume for each session and also as a percentage/multiplier of day volume, average day volume with customisable period
- Show range for each session and also as a percentage/multiplier of the daily ATR with customisable period
- Lookback period for the boxes
- Customisable text size, placement, colour, name
- Customisable session lengths and constraints (regular trading hours or all including extending trading hours)
- Customisable border widths, styles and colours, and session background colour
- Toggles to show/hide sessions, volume, day volume, average day volume, session range and day ATR
ICT Killzones + Pivots [TFO]Designed with the help of TTrades and with inspiration from the ICT Everything indicator by coldbrewrosh, the purpose of this script is to identify ICT Killzones while also storing their highs and lows for future reference, until traded through.
There are 5 Killzones / sessions whose times and labels can all be changed to one's liking. Some prefer slight alterations to traditional ICT Killzones, or use different time windows altogether. Either way, the sessions are fully customizable. The sessions will auto fit to keep track of the highs and lows made during their respective times, and these pivots will be extended until they are invalidated.
There are also 4 optional Open Price lines and 4 vertical Timestamps, where the user can change the time and style of each one as well.
To help maintain a clean chart, we can implement a Cutoff Time where all drawings will stop extending past a certain point. The indicator will apply this logic by default, as it can get messy with multiple drawings starting and stopping throughout the day at different times.
Given the amount of interest I've received about this indicator, I intend to leave it open to suggestions for further improvements. Let me know what you think & what you want to see added!
cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay + sessions and order qtyThis is a fork of the cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay strategy by Dr_Roboto , which adds two additional features, namely:
the ability to limit trade signals to certain defined periods of time ("Sessions") during the trading day and, optionally, to close any open position at the end of either or both "Sessions"
the ability to control the maximum order size suggested by the strategy on the "Inputs" tab of the strategy's "Settings" window
If you are trading on a daily chart (or longer) you must disable the Limit Signals to Trading Sessions? option in order for the strategy to produce signals.
All other features are identical to the original strategy (revision 2.0).
Price Action and 3 EMAs Momentum plus Sessions FilterThis indicator plots on the chart the parameters and signals of the Price Action and 3 EMAs Momentum plus Sessions Filter Algorithmic Strategy. The strategy trades based on time-series (absolute) and relative momentum of price close, highs, lows and 3 EMAs.
I am still learning PS and therefore I have only been able to write the indicator up to the Signal generation. I plan to expand the indicator to Entry Signals as well as the full Strategy.
The strategy works best on EURUSD in the 15 minutes TF during London and New York sessions with 1 to 1 TP and SL of 30 pips with lots resulting in 3% risk of the account per trade. I have already written the full strategy in another language and platform and back tested it for ten years and it was profitable for 7 of the 10 years with average profit of 15% p.a which can be easily increased by increasing risk per trade. I have been trading it live in that platform for over two years and it is profitable.
Contributions from experienced PS coders in completing the Indicator as well as writing the Strategy and back testing it on Trading View will be appreciated.
STRATEGY AND INDICATOR PARAMETERS
Three periods of 12, 48 and 96 in the 15 min TF which are equivalent to 3, 12 and 24 hours i.e (15 min * period / 60 min) are the foundational inputs for all the parameters of the PA & 3 EMAs Momentum + SF Algo Strategy and its Indicator.
3 EMAs momentum parameters and conditions
• FastEMA = ema of 12 periods
• MedEMA = ema of 48 periods
• SlowEMA = ema of 96 periods
• All the EMAs analyse price close for up to 96 (15 min periods) equivalent to 24 hours
• There’s Upward EMA momentum if price close > FastEMA and FastEMA > MedEMA and MedEMA > SlowEMA
• There’s Downward EMA momentum if price close < FastEMA and FastEMA < MedEMA and MedEMA < SlowEMA
PA momentum parameters and conditions
• HH = Highest High of 48 periods from 1st closed bar before current bar
• LL = Lowest Low of 48 periods from 1st closed bar from current bar
• Previous HH = Highest High of 84 periods from 12th closed bar before current bar
• Previous LL = Lowest Low of 84 periods from 12th closed bar before current bar
• All the HH & LL and prevHH & prevLL are within the 96 periods from the 1st closed bar before current bar and therefore indicative of momentum during the past 24 hours
• There’s Upward PA momentum if price close > HH and HH > prevHH and LL > prevLL
• There’s Downward PA momentum if price close < LL and LL < prevLL and HH < prevHH
Signal conditions and Status (BuySignal, SellSignal or Neutral)
• The strategy generates Buy or Sell Signals if both 3 EMAs and PA momentum conditions are met for each direction and these occur during the London and New York sessions
• BuySignal if price close > FastEMA and FastEMA > MedEMA and MedEMA > SlowEMA and price close > HH and HH > prevHH and LL > prevLL and timeinrange (LDN&NY) else Neutral
• SellSignal if price close < FastEMA and FastEMA < MedEMA and MedEMA < SlowEMA and price close < LL and LL < prevLL and HH < prevHH and timeinrange (LDN&NY) else Neutral
Entry conditions and Status (EnterBuy, EnterSell or Neutral)(NOT CODED YET)
• ENTRY IS NOT AT THE SIGNAL BAR but at the current bar tick price retracement to FastEMA after the signal
• EnterBuy if current bar tick price <= FastEMA and current bar tick price > prevHH at the time of the Buy Signal
• EnterSell if current bar tick price >= FastEMA and current bar tick price > prevLL at the time of the Sell Signal

ALN Sessions - for NQ2/24/25 - v1
This script does not calculate any stats.
It uses the sessions and stats from NQStats/ALNSessions
Option to draw boxes around the session times.
Options to adjust the table text/background colors/position.
The logic will determine how the Asia and London sessions interact.
Once the New York session starts (8am), it will then display the appropriate stats.
Script quirk...fyi. The script removes the stats table at 6PM.
That's just how it works. I used grok to assist with the code, and it got funky. It works, so I left it that way.
The appropriate stats table will then be displayed when the next New York session begins.
---
There is another table I used just for troubleshooting to show the values of the Asia/London session highs/lows. This can just be ignored.
3/3/25 - republished.
Named SessionsShows London, New York and Tokyo sessions (and optionally Sydney).
Beginner-friendly - shows names of sessions, not just colors
Marks low and high of session
Shows if session is currently open
Session names can be customized
Session label is placed above or below depending on price move during session, visually indicating the trend (also works during open session)
Is displayed only on timeframes below 4H
How it works
Session trend is calculated simply by subtracting the session's opening price from the session's closing price (or current price if session is open).
If there is a gap before the session, the previous close is used instead of the first candle's open price.
