Price Range Retrace statisticks [HERMAN]📈 Price Range Retrace Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders quantify how often price retraces to a selected equilibrium level (e.g., 50%) after sweeping the high/low of a defined time-based range.
It is especially useful for modeling sessions such as the London Opening Range (e.g., 02:00–03:00 NY time), checking if price sweeps that range in a subsequent window (e.g., 03:00–04:00), and returns to its 50% level.
✅ What does it do?
Lets you define multiple time ranges (e.g. London, NY Open, custom ranges).
Draws the range box for the selected session time.
Calculates and plots the retracement level (default 50%).
Checks if price sweeps the high/low of the range before retracing.
Tracks success rate, average distance, sample size and displays these stats in a table.
⚙️ Key Features:
Fully customizable time windows (range box time and retracement check time).
-Configurable retracement % (default 50% equilibrium).
-Optional sweep condition (only count retracements if price sweeps the high/low first).
-Clean, theme-adaptive stats table with success rates and averages.
-Supports two independent levels (e.g. London and NY sessions).
📊 Why use it?
This tool turns session-based setups into statistical models:
Backtest session strategies over many days.

This indicator goes beyond basic session marking by extending previous session levels into the NY session as key support/resistance zones and providing real-time price interaction alerts when these levels are touched.
**Important Setup Notes:**
- **Update Your Timezone**: Ensure you select the correct timezone in the indicator settings to match your trading preferences
- **Verify Session Times**: Double-check that the default session times align with your market analysis requirements, as market hours may vary due to seasonal changes or regional differences

- **Color-Coded System**: Distinct colors for each session (Red for Asia, Blue for London, Green for NY)
- **Session Labels**: Clear price labels showing exact high/low values for easy reference
**Advanced Level Extension**
- **Smart Line Extension**: Automatically extends Asia and London session levels into the NY session as dashed lines
- **Key Level Identification**: Transforms previous session levels into actionable support/resistance zones
- **Visual Distinction**: Extended lines use transparent, dashed styling to differentiate from active session boundaries
**Real-Time Alert System**
- **Price Interaction Alerts**: Sends TradingView notifications when price touches Asia or London levels during NY session
- **Customizable Tolerance**: Adjustable touch sensitivity (0.01% to 1.0%) for precise interaction detection
- **Visual Confirmation**: Displays colored labels on chart when price interactions occur

Worldwide Sessions and Open Range BreakoutThis script shows when the various normal market hours for each of the major worldwide markets (Asia, New York, and London). It also draws a line on the opening range for each of these market sessions. The opening range defaults to the first 15 minutes of the session, but this can be customized.
This script does automatically handle the session times regardless of your time zone or what time frame you are on. No need to set anything! This probably can't handle non-normal trading days, such as partial days.
This script is made for futures, but would likely work for other markets, like Forex.
Session RangeThis Indicator Shows you the high, low and the midpoint for a chosen session and displays them on the chart.
You can make the following inputs:
Timezone: Choose your time zone (in UTC) to display the session correctly
Session Time: Choose the start time and end time of the session you want to have displayed.
Show Session Midpoint: Choose between displaying or not displaying the midpoint of the sessions high and low.
Extend Session Values until next Session: Choose this option if you want to display the sessions range until the next session starts. The midpoint will only be displayed if you chose "yes" at "Show Session Midpoint?"
Maximum number of bars between sessions: This is needed to ensure the correct display of the extended lines. Also this will affect the running speed of the script.
Limitations:
A higher number between bars slows down the script. What does that mean practically? If you choose to not have the sessions values displayed until the next session you can set this to 1 and the script will run as fast as it can. If you choose to display all the values until the next session you have to make sure that the number you put in is higher than the number of bars between the sessions. Otherwise the lines will be displayed backwards. As this affects the calculation speed you want to keep the number as low as possible. The default setting is 300 which is fine for 5 minute charts. On a 1 minute chart you will have to use something around 5000 depending on how long your session is.
Also the script will only run correctly if the start time of your session can be divided by the timeframe you are using. Example: you can use a 1min, 3min, 5min, or 15min chart on all sessions as they can only start every 15 minutes and 15 can be divided by all these numbers. A 2 minute timeframe will only work on sessions that start at minute 00 or 30, as 15 and 45 can not be divided by 2.
Customization and Alerts:
You can change the color of the sessions high, low, midpoint and background filling. The line style can also be changed but this might lead to a faulty display of the session.
The style of the extension lines can not be altered.
Alerts can be added for crossing the sessions high or low (after the session is finished). You do not have to display the extension lines in order to set an alert.
credit: The inspiration (especially for the look of this indicator) comes from the Asian Range by Nico948 indicator.

Session extensions [dani]Session Extension
Indicator Description
The Session Extensions indicator is a customizable tool designed to visually represent key price levels during a specified trading session. It calculates and displays the high, low, and midpoints of the session, along with extension levels based on user-defined multipliers. These extensions help traders identify potential support and resistance zones beyond the initial session range.
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday traders who rely on session-based analysis to make informed decisions. It overlays directly on the chart, ensuring seamless integration with price action.
Key Features
Session-Based Analysis : Tracks and highlights key price levels (high, low, midpoint) during a specific trading session.
Customizable Extension Levels : Allows users to define up to six extension levels (both above and below the session range) with unique multipliers, colors, styles, and widths.
Real-Time Updates : Automatically updates during the active session and resets at the start of a new session.
Usage Guidelines
Add the Indicator to Your Chart : Apply the Session Extensions indicator to your chart to visualize key session-based levels.
Intraday Focus : This indicator is optimized for intraday trading. Ensure that the chart's timeframe is set to an intraday interval (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute).
Session Alignment : Verify that the session time aligns with your trading schedule and timezone. Misalignment may result in incorrect session detection. (This indicator use America - New York timezone)
Avoid Overcrowding : While the indicator supports multiple extension levels, enabling too many levels simultaneously may clutter the chart. Use discretion when configuring extension levels.
Customize Line Styles and Colors : Tailor the appearance of lines and labels to align with your trading style. Use solid, dashed, or dotted lines, and choose colors that enhance visibility without cluttering the chart.
Combine with Other Tools : Pair this indicator with other technical analysis tools (e.g., moving averages, volume profiles) to enhance decision-making.

Session Coloring Bar with ICT Macro [dani]The Session Coloring Bar is customizable Pine Script indicator designed to visually enhance your charts by applying unique colors to specific trading sessions or timeframes. This tool allows traders to easily identify and differentiate between macro sessions (e.g., 24-hour cycles) and custom-defined sessions (e.g., Session A, Session B), making it ideal for analyzing market activity during specific periods.
In the context of trading, the term "ICT Macro" , as discussed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT), refers to specific timeframes or "windows" where market behavior often follows predictable patterns. Traders typically focus on the last 10 minutes of an hour and the first 10 minutes of the next hour (e.g., 0150-0210 , 0050-0110 , or 0950-1010 ) to identify key price movements, liquidity shifts, or market inefficiencies.
This script highlights these macro timeframes, enabling traders to visually analyze price action during these critical periods. Use this tool to support your strategy, but always combine it with your own analysis and risk management.
With this indicator, you can:
Highlight Macro Sessions : Automatically color bars based on predefined 24-hour macro sessions.
Customize Session Settings : Define up to three custom sessions (A & B) with individual start/end times, visibility toggles, and unique bar colors.
Timeframe Filtering : Hide session coloring above a specified timeframe to avoid clutter on higher timeframes.
Personal Notes : Add comments to each session for better organization and quick reference.
Dynamic Color Logic : Bars are colored based on their direction (up, down, or neutral) within the active session.
How to Use:
Enable/Disable Sessions :
Use the Show Coloring toggle to enable or disable session coloring for Macro, Session A, Session B, or Session C.
Set Session Times :
Define the start and end times for each session in the format HHMM-HHMM (e.g., 1600-0930 for an overnight session).
Choose Colors :
Assign unique colors for upward (Bar Up) and downward (Bar Down) bars within each session.
Adjust Timeframe Visibility :
Use the Hide above this TF input to specify the maximum timeframe where session coloring will be visible.
Add Notes :
Use the Comment field to add personal notes or labels for each session.
Example Use Cases:
Overnight Sessions :
Highlight overnight trading hours (e.g., 1600-0930) to analyze price action during low liquidity periods.
Asian/European/US Sessions : Define separate sessions for major trading regions to track regional market behavior.
Macro Analysis : Use the predefined 24-hour macro sessions to study hourly price movements across a full trading day.
Disclaimer:
The Session Coloring Bar is not a trading signal generator and does not predict market direction or provide buy/sell signals. Instead, it is a visualization tool designed to help you identify and analyze specific trading sessions or timeframes on your chart. By highlighting key sessions and their corresponding price movements, this indicator enables you to focus on periods of interest and make more informed trading decisions.

Intraday Volume Indicator for INDICES by TBTPH Pine Script code for an intraday volume indicator with session and lunch break highlights looks great! Here’s a summary of what each part of the script does:
Indicator Settings:
The indicator is set to show on a separate pane (overlay=false).
The SMA Length is adjustable with an input box (default of 20).
Volume and SMA Calculation:
You calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume over the selected length.
The volume color is determined based on whether the close price is higher or lower than the previous close and if the volume is above or below the SMA.
Volume Plot:
Volume is plotted as a histogram with different colors to indicate if the volume is higher or lower than the SMA.
You plot the SMA of the volume with an orange line for easier comparison.
Background Color:
You set a light gray background color to give a subtle contrast.
NYSE and LSE trading sessions are highlighted with green and blue, respectively.
Lunch break periods are highlighted with a white background for both exchanges.
Here are a couple of improvements or suggestions you might consider:
Session Time Overlap Handling:
If the script is applied to a chart where both NYSE and LSE data is visible, they may overlap depending on the time zone of your chart. Ensure the session times align with the active market's timezone, especially if you are using a chart with a different timezone setting.
Color Customization:
The color scheme for bullish/bearish volume could be enhanced further. For example, you could introduce more transparency for low-volume periods to make the histogram appear more subtle during less active trading times.
Handling Different Time Zones:
If your chart is not in the "America/New_York" or "GMT" time zone, be mindful of the session times. The timestamp function depends on the chart’s time zone, so ensuring you're adjusting for different markets is key.
