Multi-Session Opening RangesThe Multi-Session Opening Ranges indicator plots the Opening Range (OR) levels for three major trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It displays the high (ORH), low (ORL), and midline of each session's opening range, helping traders identify key price levels for potential breakouts, reversals, or support/resistance zones.
This indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor the appearance and behavior of each session independently.
Features
Multi-Session Support: Visualizes Opening Ranges for Asia, London, and New York sessions, with customizable session times and timezones.
Customizable Lines: Adjust the color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and width of ORH, ORL, and midline for each session.
Offset Control: Set a custom offset (in bars) for lines and labels to position them away from price action for better visibility.
Fill Customization: Choose the fill color for the area between ORH and ORL for each session.
Historical Data Option: Toggle the display of historical OR levels to focus on current session data or analyze past ranges.
Timezone Flexibility: Select from a wide range of timezones to align session times with your trading needs.
Label Customization: Adjust the size of labels (tiny, small, normal, large, huge) for clarity on any chart.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the high and low prices during the user-defined opening range period for each session (default: 5 minutes). It then draws:
ORH (Opening Range High): The highest price during the session's opening range.
ORL (Opening Range Low): The lowest price during the session's opening range.
Midline: The average of ORH and ORL, plotted as a dashed line by default.
Filled Area: A semi-transparent fill between ORH and ORL to highlight the range.
Lines and labels extend until the start of the next session or can be offset by a user-specified number of bars for better chart readability. The indicator supports historical data display for analyzing past session ranges.
Inputs
Display:
Show Historical Data: Enable/disable historical OR levels.
Timezone: Select the timezone for session calculations (e.g., UTC-4, UTC+1, etc.).
Asia/London/New York Sessions:
Show Session: Enable/disable the session.
Session Time: Define the start and end time for the opening range (e.g., "0930-0935:1234567" for 9:30–9:35 AM, all days).
Asia/London/New York Style:
ORH/ORL/Midline Color: Set the color for each line.
ORH/ORL/Midline Style: Choose solid, dashed, or dotted styles.
ORH/ORL/Midline Width: Adjust line thickness (1–5).
OR Fill Color: Customize the fill color for the OR area.
Lines/Labels Offset: Set the offset (in bars, -50 to 50) to shift lines and labels relative to price action.
General Style:
Label Size: Set the size of ORH and ORL labels (tiny, small, normal, large, huge).
Usage
Add the indicator to your chart.
Configure session times to match your trading instrument and timezone.
Customize colors, line styles, widths, and offsets for each session to suit your chart preferences.
Use the ORH, ORL, and midline levels to identify key price zones for trading strategies, such as breakouts or reversals.
Notes
Ensure session times do not overlap to avoid conflicts in visualization.
Large offsets may place lines/labels outside the visible chart area; adjust as needed.
The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes but works on any timeframe.
Price Volume Heatmap [MHA Finverse]Price Volume Heatmap - Advanced Volume Profile Analysis
Unlock the power of institutional-level volume analysis with the Price Volume Heatmap indicator. This sophisticated tool visualizes market structure through volume distribution across price levels, helping you identify key support/resistance zones, high-probability reversal areas, and optimal entry/exit points.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show volume over time, this heatmap displays volume distribution across price levels , revealing where the most significant trading activity occurred. The gradient coloring system instantly highlights high-volume nodes (areas of strong interest) and low-volume nodes (potential breakout zones).
📊 Core Features
1. Dynamic Volume Heatmap
- Visualizes volume concentration across 250 customizable price levels
- Gradient color scheme from high volume (white) to low volume (teal/green)
- Adjustable brightness multiplier for enhanced contrast and clarity
- Real-time updates as market conditions evolve
2. Point of Control (POC)
- Automatically identifies the price level with the highest traded volume
- Acts as a magnetic price level where markets often return
- Critical for identifying fair value areas and potential reversal zones
- Customizable line style, width, and color
3. Flexible Lookback Settings
- Lookback Bars: Set any value from 1-5000 bars to control analysis depth
- Visible Range Mode: Analyze only what's currently visible on your chart
- Timeframe-Specific Settings: Different lookback periods for 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, Daily, and Weekly charts
- Adapts to your trading style - scalping to position trading
4. Session Separation Analysis
- Tokyo Session: 00:00-09:00 UTC
- London Session: 07:00-16:00 UTC
- New York Session: 13:00-22:00 UTC
- Sydney Session: 21:00-06:00 UTC
- Daily Reset: Analyze each trading day independently
Session separation allows you to understand volume distribution specific to each major trading session, revealing institutional order flow patterns and session-specific support/resistance levels.
5. Profile Width Options
- Dynamic: Profile width adjusts based on lookback period
- Fixed Bars: Set a specific bar count for consistent profile width
- Extend Forward: Project the profile into future bars for planning trades
6. Smart Alerts
- POC crossover/crossunder alerts
- New session start notifications
- Never miss critical price action at high-volume nodes
📈 How to Use This Indicator Professionally
Understanding Market Structure:
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Appear as bright/white areas in the heatmap
- Represent price levels where significant trading occurred
- Act as strong support/resistance zones
- Markets often consolidate or bounce from these levels
- Trading Strategy: Look for entries when price tests HVN areas with confluence from other indicators
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Appear as darker/teal areas in the heatmap
- Represent price levels with minimal trading activity
- Price tends to move quickly through these areas
- Often form "gaps" in the volume profile
- Trading Strategy: Expect rapid price movement through LVN zones; avoid placing stop losses here
Point of Control (POC):
- The single most important price level in your analysis window
- Represents the fairest price where maximum volume traded
- Price gravitates toward POC like a magnet
- Trading Strategy:
* When price is above POC: bullish bias, POC acts as support
* When price is below POC: bearish bias, POC acts as resistance
* POC breaks often lead to significant trend changes
Session-Based Analysis:
Use session separation to understand how different market participants trade:
Asian Session (Tokyo/Sydney):
- Typically lower volatility and range-bound
- Volume profiles often show tight, balanced distribution
- Use for identifying overnight ranges and gap fill zones
London Session:
- Highest volume session for forex pairs
- Often shows strong directional bias
- Look for breakouts from Asian ranges during London open
New York Session:
- Maximum participation when overlapping with London
- Institutional order flow most visible
- POC during NY session often becomes key level for following sessions
🎯 Practical Trading Applications
1. Identifying Support & Resistance:
High volume nodes from the heatmap are far more reliable than traditional swing highs/lows. When price approaches an HVN, expect reaction - either a bounce or a significant breakout if breached.
2. Trend Confirmation:
- Healthy uptrend: POC rising over time, HVN forming at higher levels
- Healthy downtrend: POC falling over time, HVN forming at lower levels
- Consolidation: POC relatively flat, volume balanced across range
3. Breakout Trading:
When price breaks through a Low Volume Node with momentum, it often continues to the next High Volume Node. Use LVN areas as measured move targets.
4. Reversal Zones:
Multiple HVN stacking on top of each other creates a "volume shelf" - an extremely strong support/resistance zone where reversals are highly probable.
5. Risk Management:
- Place stops beyond HVN areas (not within LVN zones)
- Size positions based on distance to nearest HVN
- Use POC as trailing stop level in trending markets
⚙️ Recommended Settings
For Day Trading (Scalping/Intraday):
- Lookback: 200-500 bars
- Rows: 200-250
- Enable session separation for your primary trading session
- Profile Width: Dynamic or Fixed Bars (30-50)
For Swing Trading:
- Lookback: 500-1000 bars
- Rows: 250
- Session separation: Daily Reset
- Profile Width: Dynamic
For Position Trading:
- Lookback: 1000-3000 bars
- Rows: 250
- Use timeframe-specific settings
- Profile Width: Extend Forward (20-50 bars)
💡 Pro Tips
1. Combine this indicator with price action analysis - volume confirms what price is telling you
2. Watch for POC convergence with other technical levels (fibonacci, pivot points, moving averages)
3. Volume at extremes (tops/bottoms of heatmap) often indicates exhaustion
4. Session POC from previous sessions often acts as magnet for current session
5. Increase brightness multiplier (1.5-2.5) for clearer visualization on busy charts
6. Use "Number of Sessions to Display" to analyze consistency of volume levels across multiple sessions
🎨 Customization
Fully customizable visual appearance:
- Gradient colors for volume visualization
- POC line thickness, color, and style
- Session line colors and visibility
- All settings organized in intuitive groups
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine volume analysis with proper risk management, fundamental analysis, and other technical indicators. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Forex Sessions UTC + customise (DST Support)This Pine Script is designed to highlight forex trading sessions on a TradingView chart, showing which session (Asia, London, New York, Frankfurt, Sydney) is active based on your selected timezone offset and daylight saving time (DST) settings. It also includes an option to highlight session overlaps, like the London-New York and Asia-London overlaps.
Let's break down the script in detail:
### 1. **Inputs**:
* **`timezoneOffset`**:
* This input allows you to select your local timezone offset in hours relative to UTC (e.g., -2 for UTC-2 or +3 for UTC+3). It helps adjust the session times based on your local time.
* **`isDST`**:
* A boolean input that determines if Daylight Saving Time (DST) is active or not. If DST is enabled, the session times will be adjusted by one hour.
### 2. **Function: `timeInDailyRange`**:
This function checks if the current time (bar) is within a given session's start and end time.
* **`startH, startM`**: Start time of the session (hours and minutes).
* **`endH, endM`**: End time of the session (hours and minutes).
* **`tzOffset`**: The timezone offset in hours (which adjusts the start and end times for different regions).
The function handles sessions that cross over midnight. For example, the Asia session starts at 23:00 UTC and ends at 07:00 UTC, so it checks if the current time falls within that period.
### 3. **Session Times (in UTC)**:
Each trading session has specific times defined in UTC:
* **Asia Session**: 23:00 UTC to 07:00 UTC
* **London Session**: 08:00 UTC to 16:00 UTC
* **New York Session**: 13:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC
* **Frankfurt Session**: 07:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC
* **Sydney Session**: 21:00 UTC to 05:00 UTC
These times are defined in 24-hour format, and they represent the opening and closing hours for each market.
The script uses specific colors to represent different sessions:
* **Asia**: Yellow (`asiaColor`)
* **London**: Red (`londonColor`)
* **New York**: Navy Blue (`nyColor`)
* **Frankfurt**: Blue (`frankfurtColor`)
* **Sydney**: Green (`sydneyColor`)
* **Overlaps**:
* London-NY overlap: Purple (`overlapLN`)
* Asia-London overlap: Orange (`overlapAL`)
These colors are used to highlight the background during active sessions.
### 5. **Session Highlighting**:
The script uses the `bgcolor` function to change the background color of the chart when a session is active.
* For each session, it checks whether the current time (bar) falls within the session's time range (adjusted by the `timezoneOffset`).
* If a session is active, it will highlight the chart background in the corresponding session color.
### 6. **Overlaps**:
* **London-NY Overlap**: The script checks if both the London session and the New York session are active at the same time (i.e., if their time ranges overlap). If so, it highlights the overlap area in purple.
* **Asia-London Overlap**: Similarly, the script checks if both the Asia and London sessions are active at the same time, and if so, it highlights the overlap area in orange.
### 7. **Daylight Saving Time (DST) Adjustment**:
* If the **`isDST`** flag is enabled (i.e., DST is active), the script adjusts the session start and end times by adding one hour to each session. This is because during DST, trading hours shift by one hour (usually in regions that observe DST).
* This adjustment is applied to all session times, so the script accounts for the time change and ensures that the session times are correctly displayed.
### 8. **Final Background Color Logic**:
* The `bgcolor` function checks whether each session is active by calling `timeInDailyRange` for each session and then colors the chart accordingly.
* It also checks for overlapping sessions and colors the chart with the appropriate overlap color.
### Example Scenario:
1. **Timezone Offset**: If you select `timezoneOffset = 3` (UTC+3), the session times will be adjusted by adding 3 hours to the start and end times.
2. **Daylight Saving Time (DST)**: If `isDST = true` is selected, the session start times will shift by 1 hour forward (e.g., 23:00 UTC becomes 00:00 UTC for Asia).
3. **Visual Outcome**: The chart will display different colors in the background depending on which trading session is active (e.g., red for London, navy for New York), and purple or orange for overlap sessions.
### Key Features:
* **Customizable Timezone Offset**: Adjust session times to reflect your local timezone.
* **Daylight Saving Time Support**: Automatically adjusts session times during DST.
* **Highlighting Sessions**: Color the chart background to visualize when different trading sessions are active.
* **Overlap Highlighting**: Highlights the periods when certain sessions overlap (London-NY, Asia-London).
In summary, this script is useful for traders who want to visually see when different forex trading sessions are active on the chart, with flexibility for timezone and DST adjustments.
Volume & Price Analysis Across SessionsVolume & Price Analysis Across Sessions:
This advanced volume profile-based indicator provides a detailed visualization of market activity by analyzing volume distribution and price behavior across user-defined trading sessions. It dynamically calculates and displays the price level with the highest traded volume —for each user defined session, along with historical POCs, offering valuable insights into price acceptance zones and market sentiment over time.
Benefits:
Volume-Weighted Price Insights: Go beyond simple price action by integrating volume data to identify key levels where market participants are most active.
Multi-Session Context: Analyze volume concentration across multiple sessions to better anticipate support/resistance and potential reversal zones.
Visual Clarity: Intuitive color gradients and line widths make interpreting complex volume data straightforward.
Customizable to Fit Any Trading Style: Adjustable session length and sensitivity make it suitable for day trading, swing trading, or longer-term analysis.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to integrate volume profile concepts directly on price charts with session-specific granularity, enabling deeper understanding of market structure and more informed trading decisions.
How It Works:
The indicator segments price and volume data into discrete sessions based on the selected timeframe.
Within each session, it bins volumes by price levels and identifies the POC — the price with the highest aggregated volume.
It draws the current session’s POC line on the chart, adjusting its thickness dynamically relative to volume strength using a z-score-based calculation.
Upon session completion, the POC line for that session is preserved on the chart in a gradient color reflecting relative volume magnitude compared to previous sessions.
Users can optionally enable deviation lines to observe volatility or price spread within each session.
The script efficiently manages historical POC lines, deleting the oldest when exceeding the maximum configured number to keep the chart clean.
Key Features:
Session-Based Volume Profile: Defines custom sessions based on a selectable timeframe (default 4 hours) and calculates volume bins within each session to identify where the most trading activity occurred.
Dynamic POC Line: Highlights the current session’s POC with a line whose width adapts based on volume intensity, controlled by a user-adjustable volume sensitivity parameter.
Historical POCs with Volume Gradient: Displays up to 30 previous session POC lines colored with a gradient ranging from low-volume (semi-transparent red) to high-volume (solid green), enabling quick visual identification of significant volume levels over time.
Standard Deviation Lines (Optional): Optionally plots ±1 standard deviation lines around the POC to visualize price dispersion within sessions.
Configurable Parameters: Allows full customization of appearance and sensitivity including POC line colors, maximum line widths, session timeframe, and the maximum number of price bins for volume aggregation.
Default Parameters Used:
Session Timeframe: 240 minutes (4-hour sessions)
POC Line Color: Yellow
Max Historical POCs Displayed : 30
Max POC Line Width: 10 pixels
Volume Sensitivity for POC Width: 2.0 (controls how volume deviations affect line thickness)
Show ±1 Std Dev Lines: Disabled by default
Deviation Line Color: Gray
Max Price Bins: 1000 (limits the number of unique price levels considered per session)
Historical POC Gradient Colors:
Low Volume Start: Red, 60% transparency
High Volume End: Solid Green

The Volume Profile - Sessions indicator is an advanced session based Volume Profile and VWAP analysis tool, designed to give traders a deep and structured view of market behavior across different trading sessions and time regimes. Instead of applying a single volume profile to an entire chart or day, this script resets and recalculates volume independently for each trading session, ensuring that every profile reflects only the activity of the participants active during that session. By optionally leveraging Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data, the script delivers high precision volume distribution, accurate Point of Control (POC) and High Volume Node (HVN) detection, and a true session anchored VWAP.
The framework is suitable for Forex, Futures, Crypto, and Index markets, and works reliably across both intraday and higher timeframes.
◈ Intelligent Session Engine
At the core of the script is a custom session state engine that manages the entire session lifecycle:
⬦ Accurate detection of session start and end
⬦ Session isolated accumulation of OHLCV data
⬦ Clear separation between live and historical sessions
⬦ Smart object tracking and automatic cleanup to maintain performance
Supported Session Modes:
⬦ Standard Periods: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly
⬦ Major Market Sessions: New York, London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Sydney
⬦ Forex Composite Mode (NY/Lon/Tok):
Displays all three major FX sessions simultaneously, ideal for overlap and transition analysis
⬦ Fixed Length Sessions:
Sessions defined by a fixed number of bars
⬦ Custom Period Sessions:
User defined session times with selectable timezones
All sessions are processed independently and with full integrity.
◈ High Precision Volume Calculation
To improve accuracy, the script can internally use Lower Timeframe (LTF) data. This allows:
⬦ Higher timeframe charts (1H, 4H, etc.) to internally process 1–5 minute data
⬦ More realistic volume distribution across price levels
⬦ POC and HVNs that reflect true traded interest, not candle compression artifacts
The LTF can be:
⬦ Automatically selected based on the current chart timeframe
⬦ Manually defined for advanced users
This significantly enhances the reliability of volume based decision levels.
◈ Volume Profile & Delta Visualization
For each session, the script offers modular and fully configurable visual components:
⬥ Volume Profile
Session scaled histogram width
Adjustable resolution (row size)
Optional low volume filtering
⬥ Delta Profile
Buy vs Sell volume separation
Left or Right alignment
Independent color controls
⬥ Point of Control (POC) & HVNs
POC displayed as a line and/or value box
Optional extension beyond the session boundary
Configurable number of HVNs
Smart exclusion zone to prevent clustering near the POC
All elements can be toggled individually to maintain a clean and professional chart.
◇ True Session Anchored VWAP
VWAP is calculated strictly from the session start, not from the chart day or broker reset.
Key features:
⬦ Live VWAP curve during active sessions
⬦ Optional preservation of VWAP curves for completed sessions
⬦ Independent VWAP per session type
⬦ Accurate resets aligned with session boundaries
This makes VWAP a reliable equilibrium reference within each session’s market environment.
◇ Real Time Session Dashboard
A clean, non intrusive on chart dashboard provides instant situational awareness. For each relevant session, it displays:
⬦ Session status (Active/Closed)
⬦ Time remaining until close
⬦ Session name
⬦ Total traded volume
⬦ Session price change (%)
◇ Alerts
The script provides clean, professional alerts strictly aligned with session structure. Supported alert events:
⬦ Session Start
⬦ Session End
⬦ Price Cross VWAP (session anchored)
⬦ Price Cross POC (session value area)
◇ Conclusion
This framework is engineered for the professional intraday speculator who demands precision over noise. By synthesizing Session-Anchored VWAP, dynamic Volume Profiles, and context-driven alerts, it transforms raw data into a clear narrative of value and participation. This tool is not a signal generator, but a sophisticated decision-support system designed to reveal the mechanics of the auction-empowering you to distinguish between genuine value acceptance (Balance) and structural rejection (Imbalance) within each unique market session.
Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.

ICT Sessions and Kill Zones
What They Are:
ICT Sessions: These are specific times during the trading day when market activity is expected to be higher, such as the London Open, New York Open, and the Asian session.
Kill Zones: These are specific time windows within these sessions where the probability of significant price movements is higher. For example, the New York AM Kill Zone is typically from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM EST.
How to Use Them:
Identify the Session: Determine which trading session you are in (London, New York, or Asian).
Focus on Kill Zones: Within that session, focus on the kill zones for potential trade setups. For instance, during the New York session, look for setups between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM EST.
Silver Bullets
What They Are:
Silver Bullets: These are specific, high-probability trade setups that occur within the kill zones. They are designed to be "one shot, one kill" trades, meaning they aim for precise and effective entries and exits.
How to Use Them:
Time-Based Setup: Look for these setups within the designated kill zones. For example, between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the New York AM session .
Chart Analysis: Start with higher time frames like the 15-minute chart and then refine down to 5-minute and 1-minute charts to identify imbalances or specific patterns .
Macros
What They Are:
Macros: These are broader market conditions and trends that influence your trading decisions. They include understanding the overall market direction, seasonal tendencies, and the Commitment of Traders (COT) reports.
How to Use Them:
Understand Market Conditions: Be aware of the macroeconomic factors and market conditions that could affect price movements.
Seasonal Tendencies: Know the seasonal patterns that might influence the market direction.
COT Reports: Use the Commitment of Traders reports to understand the positioning of large traders and commercial hedgers .
Putting It All Together
Preparation: Understand the macro conditions and review the COT reports.
Session and Kill Zone: Identify the trading session and focus on the kill zones.
Silver Bullet Setup: Look for high-probability setups within the kill zones using refined chart analysis.
Execution: Execute the trade with precision, aiming for a "one shot, one kill" outcome.
By following these steps, you can effectively use ICT sessions, kill zones, silver bullets, and macros to enhance your trading strategy.
Usage:
To maximize your experience, shrink the pane where the script is drawn. This minimizes distractions while keeping the essential time markers visible. The script is designed to help traders by clearly annotating key trading periods without overwhelming their charts.
Originality and Justification:
This indicator uniquely integrates various time-based strategies essential for ICT traders. Unlike other indicators, it consolidates session times, kill zones, macro times, and silver bullet hours into one comprehensive tool. This allows traders to have a clear and organized view of critical trading periods, facilitating better decision-making.

Week designationThe script is primarily used for visualizing the beginning and end of the week. It is particularly helpful when working with time intervals shorter than one day. In a very simple and clear manner, you can see when a specific week has started. This makes it easier to assess the market sentiment in a short timeframe.
Here are the operating principles of this script:
Initialization:
The script begins with initialization, where basic parameters and settings such as line colors and line style are defined.
Determining the Session Start:
The startSession(hour, minute) function is used to calculate the starting time of a session on the chart. Sessions can be divided into different time intervals, such as the daily session (D), weekly session (W), and monthly session (M).
Checking for Session Start:
The script checks if a new session is starting. If so, a vertical line is inserted on the chart to mark the beginning of that session.
isSessionStart checks for the start of the daily session.
isSessionStart_2 checks for the start of the weekly session.
isSessionStart_3 checks for the start of the monthly session.
Marking Mondays:
The script checks if the current day is Monday (the day of the week number 2 represents Monday).
If the current session is starting or it is Monday, a vertical line is inserted on the chart with the day designation (color color_day).
Marking Lines on the Chart:
The lines inserted on the chart are vertical and have a specified style and color, which can be customized in the settings.
Four Trading SessionsIve adapted this from someone else's script to include 4 sessions instead of 3
TradingView Indicator Description: Trading Sessions
Overview:
The "Trading Sessions" indicator, written in Pine Script v5, visually highlights major forex trading sessions (Tokyo, London, New York, and Sydney) on intraday charts. It displays session ranges as colored boxes, with optional open/close lines, average price lines, and labels showing session names, tick ranges, and average prices. Users can customize session times, time zones, colors, and display options.
Key Features:
Customizable Sessions: Supports up to four trading sessions (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney) with user-defined names, time ranges, and time zones (e.g., "Asia/Tokyo", "America/New_York").
Visual Elements:
Draws semi-transparent boxes to mark session price ranges (high/low).
Optional dashed lines for session open and close prices.
Optional dotted line for the session's average price.
Labels displaying session name, tick range, and/or average price (configurable).
Time Zone Support: Specify time zones using IANA database names (e.g., "Australia/Sydney") or GMT notation, with a recommendation for IANA to handle daylight savings.
Display Options: Toggle session names, open/close lines, tick range, and average price visibility.
Intraday Restriction: Works only on intraday timeframes, with an error for daily/weekly/monthly charts.
Performance Optimized: Limits boxes, lines, and labels to 500 each to ensure smooth performance.
Inputs:
General Settings:
Show session names, open/close lines, tick range, and average price (all enabled by default).
Per Session (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney):
Enable/disable session display.
Custom session name (e.g., "Tokyo").
Session time range (e.g., "0900-1500" for Tokyo).
Time zone (e.g., "Asia/Tokyo").
Session color (semi-transparent blue, orange, green, purple by default).
How It Works:
The script checks if the current bar falls within a session’s time range (adjusted for the specified time zone).
For each active session, it creates a box spanning the session’s high/low and updates it bar-by-bar.
Optional open/close lines and an average price line are drawn and updated dynamically.
Labels display user-selected metrics (name, range, average price) at the bottom of each session box.
Sessions reset daily, ensuring accurate representation across days.
Use Case:
Ideal for forex traders who want to analyze price action during specific trading sessions. The indicator helps identify session-specific volatility, key price levels, and trends, with clear visual cues and customizable settings.
Limitations:
Only works on intraday timeframes.
Limited to 500 boxes, lines, and labels to prevent performance issues.
Requires accurate time zone settings for proper session alignment.
Example:
Enable the Tokyo and New York sessions, set their respective time zones, and toggle on all display options to see colored boxes, open/close lines, average price lines, and labels with tick ranges and averages for each session.
NQ Statistical MapperNQ Statistical Mapper
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER - READ FIRST
WARNING: THIS INDICATOR IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR NQ (NASDAQ-100 E-MINI FUTURES) ONLY
All statistics displayed in this indicator are HARD-CODED values derived from a comprehensive analysis of 12 years (2013-2025) of 1-minute NQ futures data. These statistics are calculated offline using Python and embedded directly into the indicator code.
These probabilities DO NOT apply to any instrument other than NQ
What This Indicator Does
The NQ Statistical Mapper is a data-driven trading tool that displays historical probability statistics for intraday NQ price behavior based on overnight session structure and opening positioning. Rather than generating signals, it provides context by showing:
Three trading sessions with visual boxes: Asia (8PM-2AM), London (2AM-8AM), and New York (8AM-4PM) Eastern Time
Key price levels with historical hit rate percentages showing the probability these levels are touched during the NY cash session (8AM-4PM)
Context-aware statistics that change based on current market conditions
Session range analysis showing whether Asia and London ranges are unusually large or small compared to recent history
Core Methodology and Statistical Foundation
Pattern Detection System
The indicator automatically detects one of four overnight session patterns based on how the London session (2AM-8AM) interacts with the Asia session (8PM-2AM):
London Engulfs Asia: London high is greater than Asia high AND London low is less than Asia low
Asia Engulfs London: Asia high is greater than or equal to London high AND Asia low is less than or equal to London low
London Partial Up: London high is greater than Asia high BUT London low is greater than or equal to Asia low (took out Asia high only)
London Partial Down: London low is less than Asia low BUT London high is less than or equal to Asia high (took out Asia low only)
Each pattern has distinct statistical characteristics that influence NY session behavior.
Conditional Probability Framework
The indicator uses a conditional probability approach where statistics adapt based on:
Primary Condition: Where does NY open (8:00 AM) relative to the London session midpoint?
"NY opens above London midpoint"
"NY opens below London midpoint"
This single condition dramatically changes the probabilities. For example:
When NY opens above London midpoint: 76.68% chance NY hits the London high before the London low during 8AM-4PM
When NY opens below London midpoint: 73.32% chance NY hits the London low before the London high during 8AM-4PM
Secondary Condition: The overnight pattern further refines these probabilities. Each combination of "NY position vs London midpoint" plus "overnight pattern" has unique hit rate statistics calculated from the 12-year dataset.
"Hit First" Statistics Explained
The table displays "Hit High First" and "Hit Low First" percentages. These answer the question: "During the NY cash session (8AM-4PM), if price eventually touches both the London high AND London low, which one does it touch FIRST?"
Example interpretation:
Hit High First: 76.68% means that in 76.68% of historical days with this setup, price touched the London high before touching the London low
Hit Low First: 22.48% means London low was touched first
The remaining approximately 1% represents days where neither level was hit during the NY session
This is fundamentally different from asking "will price go up or down" - it is about the sequence of range expansion during the NY session.
Displayed Levels and Their Meanings
Session Highs/Lows (Solid Lines)
These appear when each session completes and extend through the NY session:
Asia High/Low (Orange): The highest and lowest prices during 8PM-2AM EST
London High/Low (Blue): The highest and lowest prices during 2AM-8AM EST
Each level shows its hit rate percentage - the probability that NY session price (8AM-4PM) will touch that level, based on the current pattern and NY opening position.
Hourly Midpoint Levels (Dashed Gray Lines)
Three specific hourly levels with remarkably high hit rates:
7-8 AM Midpoint: Average of high and low during the 7-8 AM hour. Hit rates consistently above 93-94%, essentially sitting at the 8 AM open price (mean distance: -0.001%)
Midnight Open: The opening price at midnight EST. Hit rates vary from 62-87% depending on pattern and setup
2-3 AM Midpoint: Average of high and low during the 2-3 AM hour. Hit rates range from 67-92%
These levels are derived from mean-reversion behavior - price tends to revisit certain overnight reference points during the NY session.
Session Midpoints (Dotted Lines)
Optional display of Asia and London session midpoints. These lines terminate when their respective sessions end, providing additional reference levels for session positioning.
Statistics Table Breakdown
The table displays five sections of information:
1. SETUP Section
Shows whether "NY opens above/below London midpoint"
Displays the detected overnight pattern (1 of 4 types)
Sample size: Number of historical days matching this exact setup
Hit High First / Hit Low First: Directional bias percentages
2. HIT RATES (8AM-4PM) Section
Shows probability that each level gets touched at any point during the NY cash session:
7-8 AM Midpoint: Almost always touched (93-97% depending on pattern)
Midnight Open: Varies significantly (62-87%) based on whether the overnight pattern is aligned or contrary to NY's opening position
2-3 AM Midpoint: Strong hit rates (67-92%)
These are independent probabilities - they do not predict which is hit first, just whether each level gets visited.
3. ASIA RANGE Section
Real-time comparison of today's Asia session range versus recent history:
Sessions Captured: Shows how many sessions are in the rolling calculation (e.g., "18 / 50" = 18 sessions captured out of 50 requested). This alerts users if their chart history is insufficient
Current Range: Today's Asia high minus Asia low in points
Mean Range: Average range over the captured sessions
Percentile Rank: Where today's range falls in the distribution
80th percentile (red background): Unusually large range - top 20% of days
60-80th percentile (light gray): Above average
20-60th percentile (white): Normal range
Less than 20th percentile (light blue): Unusually small range - bottom 20% of days
4. LONDON RANGE Section
Identical structure to Asia Range section, analyzing the London session's range characteristics.
Why Percentile Rank Instead of Standard Deviation?
Intraday ranges exhibit right-skewed distributions with fat tails (volatility spikes create extreme outliers). Percentile rank is distribution-free and robust to these characteristics, providing more reliable identification of unusual ranges than z-scores or standard deviations.
How To Use This Indicator
For Context and Confluence
This is not a standalone trading system. The indicator provides statistical context to support other analysis:
Understanding Session Bias: If the table shows 76% probability of hitting the session high first, you know there is a statistical lean toward upside range expansion
Target Setting: If trading a breakout above the overnight high, knowing that Asia high gets hit 75% of the time helps assess target viability
Entry Timing: The 7-8 AM midpoint's 94% hit rate makes it an excellent re-entry or scaling level
Range Expansion Assessment: Percentile rankings help identify whether overnight sessions showed abnormal volatility, which may influence NY session behavior
Pattern-Specific Insights
London Partial Up plus NY Opens Below London Midpoint:
Midnight open hit rate jumps to 87.82% (strong mean reversion)
Suggests counter-trend reversal back toward overnight lows is likely
London Partial Down plus NY Opens Above London Midpoint:
Midnight open hit rate is 86.30%
Mirror pattern - reversion toward overnight highs
Asia Engulfs London Pattern:
Very high hit rates (85-98%) across all levels
Suggests consolidation/mean reversion during NY session rather than directional expansion
Typical Workflow
8:00 AM: Review the statistics table - which pattern occurred? Where did NY open relative to London midpoint?
Check Hit Rates: Note which levels have the highest probabilities of being touched
Assess Range Percentiles: Are Asia/London ranges unusually large or small? High percentiles may indicate already-extended ranges
Combine With Your Strategy: Use the statistics as confluence with your technical analysis, support/resistance, or order flow

Important Limitations and Considerations
1. This Is Historical Data, Not Prediction
The statistics show what happened in the past given similar setups. Markets evolve, regimes change, and past probability does not guarantee future outcomes. A 75% hit rate means that in 25% of historical cases, the level was NOT hit.
2. Chart History Requirements
TradingView imposes data limits:
5-minute chart: Approximately 10 days of history (enough for minimal statistics)
1-minute chart: Approximately 2-3 days of history (insufficient for percentile calculations)
Use 5-minute or higher timeframes to ensure adequate session capture
The table displays "Sessions Captured" (e.g., 18/50) to alert you when your chart history is limited.
3. Session Timing Is Fixed (EST)
All sessions use America/New_York timezone:
Asia: 8PM-2AM
London: 2AM-8AM
NY: 8AM-4PM
These times do not adjust for daylight saving changes in other regions. The definitions match CME NQ futures trading hours.
4. The Statistics Are From 2013-2025 Data
The 12-year analysis period includes:
Multiple market regimes (bull/bear/sideways)
Various volatility environments
QE, taper tantrums, COVID, 2022 bear market, 2023-2024 rally
However, it is still a limited sample. Future market structure changes (algorithmic trading evolution, regulatory changes, etc.) may alter these probabilities over time.
5. No Real-Time Calculation
This indicator does not recalculate statistics based on your chart's data. It displays pre-calculated probabilities. The only real-time calculations are:
Which pattern occurred today
Where NY opened relative to London midpoint
Current session ranges and their percentile ranks (based on your chart's recent history)
Statistical Methodology Details
Data Source
Instrument: NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini Futures) continuous contract
Timeframe: 1-minute bars
Period: January 2013 - January 2025 (12 years)
Sample Size: 3,132 trading days analyzed
Analysis Approach
Each trading day was classified by overnight pattern (4 types). NY opening position vs London midpoint was determined. For each combination (4 patterns times 2 positions equals 8 scenarios), the following was measured:
How often each level (session highs/lows, hourly midpoints) was touched during 8AM-4PM
Which session extreme (high or low) was hit first
Mean distance from 8 AM open to each level
Session ranges were measured for percentile analysis. All percentages were rounded to two decimal places for display.
Why These Specific Levels?
The levels were not chosen arbitrarily:
Session highs/lows: Natural support/resistance from overnight price discovery
7-8 AM midpoint: The final hour before NY open often establishes the opening range balance point
Midnight open: Represents the "true" start of the trading day (6PM-5PM structure)
2-3 AM midpoint: Captures early London price action balance
Testing showed these levels had the highest and most consistent hit rates across different patterns and setups.

Session detection (3 sessions)
Hourly detection (3 hourly periods)
Pattern classification
Conditional probability lookup
Percentile rank calculation (for session ranges)
All heavy statistical analysis was performed offline. The indicator only performs simple lookups and real-time range tracking.
Educational Value
Beyond trading application, this indicator demonstrates:
Conditional Probability: How market context (opening position, overnight structure) dramatically changes probabilities
Mean Reversion Dynamics: Why certain levels (7-8 AM midpoint, midnight) have such high revisit rates
Pattern Recognition: How overnight session relationships create different NY session behaviors
Distribution Analysis: Using percentile ranks instead of parametric statistics for skewed data
Understanding these concepts helps traders develop more sophisticated market models beyond simple "support and resistance."
Final Notes
This indicator is a tool for informed decision-making, not a crystal ball. It answers questions like:
"What typically happens in this setup?"
"How often does price revisit these levels?"
"Is this overnight range unusual?"
It does NOT answer:
"Should I buy or sell right now?"
"Where will price be at 4 PM?"
"What will happen tomorrow?"
Combine these statistics with proper risk management, sound trading strategy, and awareness that any individual day can deviate significantly from historical norms. The power of this indicator lies in providing objective, data-driven context to complement your analysis - not in replacing your judgment.
Index Kill Zones - SMC IndicatorsWhat are Index Kill Zones?
Index Kill Zones are specific Time Windows of opportunity during the Session for Indices that have the potential for the highest volatility and where looking for trading opportunities is ideal.
The Index Kill Zone Indicator is specifically designed for the SP500, NQ100, and DJ30, Markets. What differentiates this script from other Kill Zones scripts is that this script is based on NY Midnight as the basis for the start of the day.
This is not the usual below-average Index Kill Zone indicator because this indicator does not only show the 3 main Kill Zones or Sessions, but it also offers extra Kill Zones within each session that are called "AM Session", "PM Session", the "Launch Hour", the "Silver Bullet for the London, AM, and PM Sessions", and the "Last Hour" for the London, AM, and PM sessions.
Another key differentiator of this indicator's functionality is that it shows the highs and lows of each Kill zone allowing SMC traders to monitor Time-Based Liquidity above the highs and lows of each trading session.
By splitting each trading day into AM and PM Sessions, we can identify 3 types of potential daily profiles. These daily profiles could be used as conceptual templates as to what to expect from the price during a certain day. The 6 templates are the following:
1. Two Sessions Up: Where the price would go in one direction higher during both the AM and PM Sessions.
2. Two Sessions Down: Where the price would go in one direction lower during both the AM and PM Sessions.
3. AM Rally, then PM Decline: The price would go higher during the AM session and then lower during the PM Session.
4. AM Decline, then PM Rally: The price would go lower during the AM session and then higher during the PM Session.
5. Consolidation, AM Rally, then PM Decline: Where the price would consolidate most of the AM Session, then go higher into the last hour, and then reverse and go lower during the PM Session.
5. Consolidation, AM Decline, then PM Rally: Where the price would consolidate most of the AM Session, then go lower into the last hour, and then reverse and go higher during the PM Session.
Within each AM and PM Session, there is a "Silver Bullet" that acts as a time window of opportunity to get into a continuation trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Also, within each AM and PM Session, there is a "Last Hour" that acts as a time window of opportunity to get into a trade in the direction of the potential trend if the price has not moved yet, or as a reversal trade opportunity if the price has already ran previous short-term highs or lows.
Finally, we have also incorporated a Notification function to remind the trader of the start of the trading Kill Zones to not miss out on potential trade opportunities.
Key Functionalities
Universal Time Reference
Every day starts at 00:00 NY Midnight, irrespective of the trader's local time, Instead of the Standard GMT Midnight. This allows all Index Kill Zones to be in line with the New York start of the day at Midnight, as taught by ICT.
Weekend Highlighter
This feature highlights time from Sunday Market Open at 5 PM NY Time to 00:00 NY Midnight.
It's useful for identifying the non-trading or the low volatility periods when trading should be avoided.

Bonus Features
Daily & Weekly Open Price Levels
The Open Price levels draw a horizontal line from the start of the trading day at 00:00 NY midnight, and it extends it towards the end of the trading day.
This is useful for understanding where the price is relative to the daily candle.
When Bullish, the trader should look for setups at or below the daily or weekly open price.
When Bearish, the trader should look for setups at or above the daily or weekly open price.
Whether to choose the Daily or Weekly open price depends on the trader's trading style. If the trader is day trading or scaling, then it's more appropriate to choose the Daily Open Price.
However, Day Traders can also use the Weekly candle to align with the Weekly Candle's expected range direction.
On the other hand, if the trader is a Swing Trader and wants to capitalise on the weekly candle's trend, then it's more appropriate to choose the Weekly Open Price.
However, Swing Traders can also use the Daily Open Price when looking to take a trade to time better entries with a high risk-to-reward ratio.
Daily Open Price Level (in Green) and Weekly Open Price Level (in White)
Kill Zones Open Price Level
This is useful if the trader is an intra-session trader and wants to treat the sessions as the daily candle. In this case, the trader can use the Kill Zones Open Price levels based on the same logic of the Daily Open Price, where the trade would look for buy opportunities below the Session's open price and look for sell opportunities above the Session's Open Price Level.
Notifications
The trader can also receive alerts as a reminder at the start of the desired session to ensure that he or she does not miss the start of the trading session.
J&A Sessions & NewsProject J&A: Session Ranges is a precision-engineered tool designed for professional traders who operate based on Time & Price. Unlike standard session indicators that clutter the chart with background colors, this tool focuses on Dynamic Price Ranges to help you visualize the Highs, Lows, and liquidity pools of each session.
It is pre-configured for Frankfurt Time (Europe/Berlin) but is fully customizable for any global location.
Key Features
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.
Previous session High/Low – Asia London USA Overview
This indicator automatically plots the Previous Day’s (PD) session Highs and Lows for the Asia (Tokyo), London, and USA (New York) trading sessions.
Each session is color-coded for clarity:
🟩 Asia (Green)
🟥 London (Red)
🟦 USA (Blue)
At the close of each session, the indicator records that session’s high and low, draws horizontal lines across the chart, and labels them neatly in the center of each range — above the high and below the low for perfect visual balance.
⚙️ How It Works
The script continuously tracks the current high and low within each session.
When a session closes, those values are locked in as the PD High and PD Low.
Clean lines and centered labels are drawn immediately.
The labels automatically offset slightly above or below the line to avoid overlap, with user-controlled spacing.
This helps traders quickly identify where price interacts with the previous session’s structure, a core concept for many session-based and liquidity-based strategies.
🧭 Sessions and Timezones
Each market session runs in its native timezone, so you can align them perfectly to your chart or your preferred trading hours:
Asia Session: Default 08:30 – 11:00 (Australia/Adelaide time)
London Session: Default 08:00 – 10:00 (Europe/London)
USA Session: Default 09:30 – 16:00 (America/New_York)
You can change each session’s hours and timezone from the Inputs panel.
🎨 Customization
In the Inputs menu you can:
Toggle each session on or off
Choose line color and thickness
Enable or disable labels
Adjust vertical offset (ticks) for label spacing
“High label offset” – moves label further above the high line
“Low label offset” – moves label further below the low line
These adjustments make it easy to keep charts clean and readable on any instrument or timeframe.
📈 Practical Use
This indicator is ideal for:
Session traders who mark PD Highs/Lows as liquidity zones
London or NY session scalpers who watch for breakouts, fakeouts, or reversals
ICT / Smart Money Concepts users wanting automatic session reference levels
Anyone wanting a quick visual map of inter-session structure
Keylevels [KAWS]Overview
The Keylevels Indicator is designed to provide traders with a clear and structured view of important market reference points. It automatically detects and plots session highs and lows, weekly and monthly levels, as well as the previous day’s range. These levels are presented directly on the chart as dynamic lines with optional text labels, offering a consistent framework for understanding price action across multiple time horizons.
Understanding the Concepts
What are Key Levels?
Key levels are significant price points that often serve as reference markers in market activity. They represent areas where the market has previously established boundaries (highs and lows) within sessions, days, weeks, or months. Such levels can highlight where price has repeatedly reacted, providing insight into areas of potential importance.
Why Sessions Matter
Financial markets operate globally, and trading sessions (Asia, London, New York) reflect the activity of different regions. Each session produces distinct highs and lows that can serve as key markers for subsequent price behavior. By capturing these levels automatically, the indicator helps visualize how markets transition from one trading phase to another.
Higher Timeframe Levels
Weekly and monthly highs and lows, as well as the previous day’s range, provide broader structural reference points. These levels are often used to assess whether the market is respecting or breaking significant boundaries over time.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator automatically tracks and plots:
Session Levels: Highs and lows of the Asia, London, and New York sessions.
Session Open Price: A clear reference line marking the opening price of a chosen session.
Daily Levels: Previous day’s high and low, updated at the start of each new day.
Weekly Levels: High and low of the current week, with automatic reset each new week.
Monthly Levels: High and low of the current month, updated dynamically.
Each level is displayed with customizable line styles, colors, and labels. Labels can include text only or also display the exact price, depending on user preference. The indicator further supports the option to extend lines into the future, allowing for ongoing visibility of these reference points.
Customization Options
Display Control: Enable or disable specific sessions, daily, weekly, or monthly levels.
Visual Styling: Adjust line colors, thickness, and style (solid, dashed, dotted).
Labels: Choose whether to display text, include price information, and set text size.
Session Settings: Define your preferred timezone and session open times for accuracy across global markets.
Line Extension: Decide whether levels should extend into the future or stop when broken.
Important Considerations
This indicator is a technical reference tool. It does not generate buy or sell signals but instead provides structural context by highlighting where the market has established significant levels. As with any technical tool, it is most effective when integrated into a broader trading framework that includes market structure, trend analysis, and risk management.
AllDay Session TimesIndicator: Custom Session Times
This indicator is designed to assist traders by visualizing specific trading session times on the TradingView platform. It highlights two important trading sessions: the Day Session and the Evening Session, providing a visual aid that helps traders navigate the markets with greater accuracy.

Starts: 10:55 UTC+2
Ends: 13:30 UTC+2
Evening Session Time Range:
Starts: 16:55 UTC+2
Ends: 18:30 UTC+2
How It Works:
Colors and Backgrounds: This indicator uses background colors to differentiate the sessions. The green background appears during the Day Session, while the blue background indicates the Evening Session.
Lines: Session time ranges are also marked with clear lines on the chart, making it easier to identify the specific session periods.
Time Zone: The time zone is set to UTC+2 (Europe/Helsinki), but it can easily be adjusted to match your local time zone.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator is especially useful for traders who focus on specific market sessions. For example:
The Day Session might be when the market is more active, and trends are clearer.
