Sessions - New York, London & AsiaOVERVIEW
This indicator draws price range boxes for the main trading sessions (Asia, London/Europe, and New York) and an optional full-day box with daily high/low labels and open/close lines. It is a chart-context tool: it shows where price traded during each session window, not buy/sell signals.
PURPOSE / WHY THIS EXISTS
Many traders need a clear visual of:
1) which session produced the day’s high or low,
2) how large the session range was,
3) how sessions overlap (for example London–New York),
4) and where the daily open sits relative to those ranges.
This script combines three session range boxes with a daily structure layer (00:00–24:00 in a fixed timezone). The components are meant to work together so you can read session behavior against the same day’s overall range without stacking several separate scripts.
WHAT IT DOES
• Asia session box — tracks high/low while the Asia window is open; freezes the box when the session ends.
• London (Europe) session box — same logic for the London window.
• New York session box — same logic for the RTH-style New York window.
• Daily box — full calendar day high/low in the same timezone.
• Daily high/low labels — marks the bar time of the daily high and low.
• Optional daily open and close/last lines with labels.
Sessions are only drawn on intraday charts. On daily and higher timeframes, session boxes are disabled (the daily layer can still apply depending on your settings).
DEFAULT SESSION TIMES
All times use the America/New_York timezone (PulseWire handles daylight saving for that zone). Defaults can be edited in the inputs:
• Asia: 20:00–05:00
• London (Europe): 03:00–12:00
• New York: 09:30–16:00
Overlaps are intentional. For example, Asia and London can share a morning window, and London and New York share a large mid-day window. The boxes stack so you can see concurrency visually.
HOW IT WORKS (CONCEPT)
1) Session membership
For each session, the script checks whether the current bar’s time falls inside the configured session string, evaluated in America/New_York.
2) Session start / end
• Session start: first bar that is inside the session after being outside.
• Session end: first bar that is outside the session after being inside.
3) Range tracking
While inside a session, the script updates running high and low from bar high/low. The live box left edge is the session start bar; the right edge follows the current bar. When the session ends, the box is fixed for that day/session instance and kept in an optional history list.
4) Daily layer
The daily open is taken from the 1D open of the symbol. Daily high/low are tracked from bar values until the New York calendar day changes, then the previous day is finalized as a historical daily box (if enabled).
5) Object limits
History depth is capped by internal safety limits so the chart does not exceed PulseWire drawing object limits on low timeframes.
HOW TO USE IT
Typical workflow on a 1m–15m chart:
1) Load the symbol you trade (indices, FX, metals, etc.).
2) Keep default session times if your process is U.S.-anchored; otherwise edit the three session inputs.
3) Use GLOBAL visibility toggles if you only need one or two sessions on screen.
4) Compare the current New York (or London) box size to recent historical boxes of the same color — this is visual context for range expansion/contraction, not a trade rule by itself.
5) Use daily high/low labels to see whether extremes printed in Asia, London, or New York.
6) Use open/close lines if you track acceptance above/below the daily open as part of your own rules.
Suggested reading order on any day:
Daily structure first (open, D Hi, D Lo) → then session boxes → then your own entry method (structure, levels, etc.). This script does not define entries, stop-loss, or take-profit.
INPUTS (MAIN GROUPS)
• Session time strings and colors for Asia / London / New York.
• Per-session show historical vs current boxes; outline-only options.
• GLOBAL toggles for each session.
• Daily box: historical and current day display.
• Daily high/low labels and colors.
• Daily open/close lines and their labels.
COLORS (DEFAULT IDEA)
• Asia — yellow tones
• London — blue tones
• New York — red tones
• Daily — lime tones
Colors are customizable so you can match your chart theme.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS NOT
• Not a strategy and not a signal generator.
• Not a guarantee of profitable trades or future price direction.
• Not a replacement for risk management or a complete trading plan.
• Session times are conventions (liquidity-focused windows), not a claim that one session is inherently “better” to trade.
TIPS FOR A CLEAN CHART
• Publish/use with this script alone on the chart for clarity.
• Prefer outline-only if fills feel heavy.
• Reduce historical session display if the chart becomes crowded.
LIMITATIONS
• Session logic depends on the bar timeframe: on higher intraday TFs, box edges align to those bars, not tick-perfect open/close of the clock window.
• Some symbols have thin overnight liquidity; box size then reflects that microstructure, not “quality” of a setup.
• Past session ranges do not predict the next session’s range.

Global Sessions IST - High/Low & Range DashboardOverview
Global Sessions IST is a lightweight, clean, and highly customizable session tracking tool designed specifically for traders operating in Indian Standard Time (IST). It dynamically highlights the active market hours for Asia (Tokyo/Hong Kong), London, and New York, helping you identify liquidity sweeps, session ranges, and key intraday turning points without cluttering your price action.
Key Features
IST Native Alignment: Built from the ground up for Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), mapping out global session open and close times accurately.
Minimalist Session Boxes: Visualizes session High, Low, and price movement using soft, customizable box fills and subtle border styles.
On-Chart Mini Dashboard: A real-time summary table positioned in the top-right corner that updates each session's:
Session High
Session Low
Total Point Range
DST (Daylight Saving Time) Toggle: Easily adjust London and New York session times by +1 hour with a single setting toggle during summer/winter shifts.
Fully Customizable Visuals: Toggle session boxes, adjust fill opacity, change session colors, or hide the dashboard entirely for a pure price-action view.
How to Use
Identify Session Ranges: Observe how price builds high and low points during the Asian consolidation phase.
Monitor Session Overlaps: Keep an eye on the high-liquidity London–New York overlap (6:30 PM – 9:00 PM IST) for major breakout or reversal trades.
Analyze Range Expansion: Use the mini dashboard to gauge session volatility in points/pip range before entering trades.

Nexus Sessions Session High/Low (Asia / London / New York)Draws the running high and low of the Asia, London and New York sessions as clean horizontal
lines with labels that follow price. No boxes, no vertical dividers, no clutter — just the levels.
CORE + CARRY WINDOWS
Each session has a core window and a carry window, and the level keeps forming through both
before it locks. London's range isn't finished at 05:00 — flow from that session keeps working
the book for hours, and a high printed at 08:54 still belongs to London even though the core
ended long before. Defaults: Asia 18:00-00:00 (carry to 02:00), London 02:00-05:00 (carry to
09:30), New York 09:30-11:00 (carry to 16:00), all New York time.
SWEPT LEVELS
Once a session's core and carry are both done, its high and low lock. If price later trades back
through one, that line turns dotted and relabels itself SWEPT — while keeping its session colour,
so you can still tell at a glance whose liquidity just got taken. An untouched session extreme is
resting liquidity; a swept one is spent. Nothing gets marked swept while the level is still
forming, so a new high inside its own session never false-flags as a sweep of itself.
TWO WAYS TO DRAW THE LINE
By default each line starts on the bar that actually printed the high or low, so you can see
exactly when the level was set. Switch to Session open and the line spans the entire session
instead, showing how long the level has been in play and how much of the session traded above or
below it. Same levels, two different questions.
TIMEZONES
Defaults are New York time and the standard core windows, so it lines up with what you're already
reading. Each session can also be switched to its own market's local time — which changes nothing
for about 48 weeks a year, and differs only in the ~4 weeks when the US and UK clocks disagree.
Japan observes no DST at all, so an Asia window pinned to New York drifts against Tokyo at every
US changeover. Pick native if you want the literal London open; leave it on New York to match
every other session tool.
Full colour control per session — separate high, low and swept colours — plus infinite or
fixed-length extension, adjustable label offset, and per-session toggles.

Indicator
Judas Swing Detector [algo_aakash]Judas Swing Detector is a session-based reversal indicator that models the institutional Judas Swing as a complete, sequential price event rather than a single false-breakout candle. Instead of flagging every session-open wick that reverses, the script requires a full chain of confirmed conditions — a locked Initial Range, a liquidity sweep beyond it, a rejection close back inside, an optional market structure shift, institutional-grade displacement, and higher-timeframe trend agreement — before a signal is ever scored, drawn, or alerted.
Problem Statement
A Judas Swing is commonly described as "price sweeps one side of the session open and reverses," but that description alone matches an enormous number of ordinary, low-quality wicks. Scripts that flag every such wick generate far more noise than usable signal, because a sweep and a close-back-inside is only the first half of the institutional sequence — it says nothing about whether the reversal has real structural or momentum support, or whether it agrees with the underlying daily trend.
This indicator addresses that gap by treating the Judas Swing as a seven-stage sequence and only surfacing a signal once every enabled stage has been satisfied on confirmed price data, with the overall setup then ranked by a disclosed, weighted confidence score.
Methodology
A session window (London Open, New York Open, or a fully custom session and timezone) drives an Initial Range engine that locks the session's high and low once a configurable opening window (5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes) elapses. The Initial Range is drawn as a transparent box and extends for the remainder of the session.
Once the Initial Range is locked, the script watches for a liquidity sweep: a wick that pierces beyond the Initial Range high or low by at least a minimum ATR-based distance, with the same candle closing back inside the range. This closing-back-inside requirement is what separates a genuine sweep-and-reject from an ordinary breakout continuation.
A confirmed sweep becomes a pending candidate. If Market Structure Confirmation is enabled, the candidate must be followed by a genuine structure shift measured against minor swing pivots that form strictly after the sweep bar: a higher high following a low-side sweep, or a lower low following a high-side sweep. Candidates that do not produce this structure shift within a configurable bar timeout are discarded with no signal created.
A qualifying candidate is then subjected to a Displacement Filter, requiring the confirming candle's body to reach a minimum ATR multiple, and an optional Higher Timeframe Bias check, requiring a fast/slow EMA relationship on a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g. 1H, 4H, Daily) to agree with the reversal direction. Only after every enabled stage passes does the script compute the Judas Confidence Filter score.
The Judas Confidence Filter combines five independently disclosed, user-weighted factors into a single 0-100 score: sweep depth (how far price pierced beyond the Initial Range in ATR units), displacement (the confirming candle's body size in ATR units), HTF agreement (the normalized separation between the fast and slow higher-timeframe EMA, reflecting how decisively the higher-timeframe trend supports the direction), rejection quality (where the sweep candle closed within its own range), and reversal aggression (how few bars elapsed between the sweep and structure confirmation). Weights are user-adjustable and auto-normalized. A signal is only plotted and only triggers alerts if its score meets the Minimum Confidence Score threshold — this is a genuine filtering mechanism that changes what is drawn, not a cosmetic label applied afterward.
Confirmed signals optionally draw an Entry Zone between the 50% and 62% retracement of the confirming displacement candle, reflecting where institutional-style retracement entries are commonly sought after a confirmed reversal, along with a stop-reference line at the sweep extreme. Both extend forward and are visually dimmed once price closes back through the sweep extreme, marking the setup invalidated.
Signal Workflow
Step 1 — the selected session opens and the Initial Range begins building from the session's first 5-30 minutes of price action.
Step 2 — the Initial Range locks; the script now watches for a liquidity sweep beyond either side of that locked range.
Step 3 — a wick pierces beyond the range by a minimum ATR distance and the same candle closes back inside, registering a pending sweep candidate.
Step 4 — if enabled, the candidate must be followed by a market structure shift measured against post-sweep swing pivots, within a bounded bar timeout.
Step 5 — the confirming candle must clear the ATR-based displacement threshold, and if enabled, the higher-timeframe EMA bias must agree with the reversal direction.
Step 6 — the completed sequence is scored by the Judas Confidence Filter across five weighted factors; only scores at or above the minimum threshold are plotted and alerted.
Step 7 — an optional 50%-62% entry zone and stop-reference line are drawn from the confirming candle and remain active until price closes back through the original sweep extreme.
Why This Indicator Is Different
Most public "Judas Swing" or session-sweep scripts fire on the sweep-and-close-back-inside event alone, with no structural or momentum confirmation and no higher-timeframe context.
This script models the full institutional sequence explicitly — session, Initial Range, sweep, rejection, structure shift, displacement, HTF agreement — and only creates a signal after every enabled stage resolves in order on confirmed bar closes.
The Judas Confidence Filter converts five independently disclosed factors, including reversal aggression measured in bars-to-confirmation and rejection quality measured from close position within the sweep candle's own range, into a single adjustable score rather than a binary flag.
Confidence weighting is fully exposed, letting the ranking be tuned toward sweep depth, displacement strength, higher-timeframe agreement, rejection quality, or reversal speed depending on the trader's approach.
The optional 50%-62% Entry Zone models a specific, disclosed institutional retracement convention rather than simply marking the signal bar.

Practical Usage
Use the status panel's HTF Bias reading as directional context before evaluating an individual Judas signal.
Treat a High-Confidence (Elite) signal as a materially stronger setup than one that merely clears the minimum threshold, since it reflects agreement across all five scored factors rather than a narrow pass.
Raise the Minimum Confidence Score on lower timeframes or noisy instruments to reduce the number of marginal signals generated.
Disable Require MSS Confirmation only if you specifically want to evaluate the sweep-and-rejection event on its own, understanding this removes one of the seven confirming stages.
Combine the alert feed with a broader trade plan, since each alert marks a structural event, not an execution signal.
Limitations
The Initial Range and session logic depend on the chart's intrabar data matching the selected session window; behavior on markets with irregular or 24-hour sessions may differ from traditional FX/futures sessions.
Market structure confirmation depends on minor swing pivots, which require bars to form on both sides before they confirm, introducing an inherent, bounded delay.
Confidence scoring is a relative, disclosed ranking and does not predict the outcome of any individual signal.
The higher-timeframe bias is read via a standard non-repainting security call and reflects EMA relationship only; it is not an independent trend-strength model.
As with any structure-based tool, results will vary across instruments, timeframes, and market regimes.
Notes
This indicator is a session and structure analysis tool intended to organize and score the Judas Swing sequence through a disclosed, multi-stage validation process.
All session state, sweep detection, structure confirmation, displacement, and scoring are evaluated on confirmed bar closes only, so no element of the script repaints once drawn.
The output is intended to support structural analysis and is not a standalone buy or sell recommendation.

RPFXBYDAN - Untouched Session Liquidity - Asia / London / NYRPFXBYDAN - Untouched Session Liquidity — Asia / London / NY
**What this script does**
This indicator marks the high and low of each Asia, London, and New York trading session and projects those two levels forward as horizontal lines. Unlike a standard session-range indicator that leaves every past level on the chart, this one automatically deletes any level the moment price reaches it. The result is a running inventory of the recent session highs and lows that price has NOT yet run — the liquidity that is still "live" on the chart.
By default the script keeps the ten most recent sessions per region so you can see whether the current market is respecting, sweeping, or ignoring older session extremes.
**Why session highs and lows matter**
Session highs and lows tend to attract price because they collect a predictable pool of stop-loss orders — protective stops from participants who entered inside the previous session's range. Price often gravitates toward these levels, sweeps the liquidity, and reverses. Knowing which specific levels are still untaken (versus already mitigated) is more actionable than seeing every historical level indiscriminately, because only untaken levels still hold that liquidity.
**How the script works, step by step**
1. On every bar, the script checks whether the bar falls inside the Asia, London, or New York session window, using Pine's timezone-aware time function so detection is correct on any chart regardless of the user's timezone settings.
2. While a session is active, it tracks the running high and low and remembers the bar index at which each was set.
3. The instant a session closes (the first bar the session check flips from true to false), it draws two horizontal lines anchored at those bar indexes — one at the session high, one at the session low — with a text label naming the region.
4. Each new line and label is pushed onto a per-region array. If the array now holds more than the configured lookback count (default ten), the oldest entry is shifted off and deleted.
5. On every subsequent bar, the script walks the array of active lines and compares the current candle's high to each high level and the current candle's low to each low level. Any line whose level has been reached is deleted along with its label. Any line not yet touched has its right edge advanced so the projection stays anchored to the current bar.
The touch check is the mechanism that keeps the chart focused only on liquidity that hasn't been taken yet — it's what differentiates this from a normal "show previous session range" indicator.
**Timezone handling**
The default Auto mode detects each session in its own home timezone: Asia in Tokyo time, London in London time, and New York in New York time. Because Pine's time function accepts a timezone argument, the detection is correct regardless of what timezone your chart is set to, and daylight saving transitions are handled automatically. If you'd rather have all three sessions interpreted in one specific timezone (for example, always in your local one), the location dropdown lets you select from a menu of common cities and UTC offsets, and the session windows will be read in that timezone instead.
**Inputs**
- Your Location / Timezone — Auto (recommended) or a specific city / UTC offset
- Asia, London, New York Session windows — defaults calibrated to each session's home clock time
- Sessions to Keep — how many recent sessions per region to display (default 10)
- Colors per region, line width, line style, right-extension length, label toggle
**How to use it**
Add the indicator to a 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, or 1-hour chart of any symbol. Give the chart a few days of history to load so the script can walk through session closes and populate the levels. Watch how price interacts with the untaken lines — a clean sweep of an old session high can precede a reversal, while price trading through a level without pausing suggests continuation. Because touched levels are removed automatically, whatever remains on the chart at any moment is the current "menu" of session liquidity worth watching.
Works on any instrument, though it's most useful on FX pairs, index futures, and crypto where session structure is meaningful. Higher timeframes (4H+) compress sessions into a single bar and reduce the value of the lines.
**Notes**
Session detection uses each session's home timezone in Auto mode; in manual mode you select a single timezone that applies to all three. Both modes automatically handle daylight saving. Indicator
Ict Mmxm Frameworkict mmxm framework is a session-based market structure tool designed to organize intraday price delivery around fpi zones, macro windows, order blocks, imbalances, breakaway gap order blocks, opening ranges, and session range structure.
The script is built to help traders study how price behaves during the asian, london, new york morning, lunch, and new york afternoon sessions. It separates each major session into its own visual components so the user can compare pre-session ranges, active session ranges, macro windows, fpi areas, imbalance areas, order block zones, breakaway gap order blocks, and opening range levels.
Main components:
* pre-asian range from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm new york time
* asian range from 9:00 pm to 12:00 am new york time
* asian macro windows at 6:50 pm to 7:10 pm, 8:50 pm to 9:10 pm, and 12:50 am to 1:10 am
* pre-london range from 2:00 am to 3:00 am new york time
* london range from 3:00 am to 5:00 am new york time
* london macro windows at 1:50 am to 2:10 am, 2:50 am to 3:10 am, and 4:50 am to 5:10 am
* new york morning, lunch, and afternoon session structure
* fpi visualization for asian, london, and new york sessions
* separate fpi detection for asian and london macro windows
* selected-bias imbalance mapping
* selected-bias order block mapping
* breakaway gap order block mapping
* high, midpoint, and low price labels for imbalance, order block, and breakaway gap order block zones
* opening range levels for the new york morning and afternoon sessions
* configurable session visibility and visual settings
The asian and london sections include range boxes, high and low references, midpoint references, macro windows, fpi areas, selected-bias imbalance zones, selected-bias order block zones, and breakaway gap order block context. These components are intended to help traders compare how price develops from one session into the next.
The selected expected bias controls how the main imbalance and order block zones are emphasized. When bearish bias is selected, the framework focuses on the highest relevant bullish order block and premium-side imbalance context. When bullish bias is selected, the framework focuses on the lowest relevant bearish order block and discount-side imbalance context.
The order block, imbalance, and breakaway gap order block zones use soft transparent colors based on the selected expected bias. Bearish bias uses red-toned zones, while bullish bias uses green-toned zones. This is intended to keep the chart visually aligned with the selected directional framework.
The purpose of this script is to provide a structured visual framework for studying session-based delivery, liquidity reference points, fpi behavior, macro timing, order blocks, imbalances, breakaway gap order blocks, and projected levels. It is intended for market context, discretionary planning, and research.
This script does not generate guaranteed trade signals, does not predict future price movement, and does not provide financial advice. It should be used together with independent analysis and proper risk management.

Tokyo London New York Session HighlighterTokyo London New York Session Highlighter shades the Tokyo, London and New York trading sessions directly on the chart background so users can see time-of-day context at a glance. It is a visual aid for intraday charts.
Each session is defined by its own hours, day mask and IANA timezone, so the correct local times are used throughout the year, including daylight-saving changes in London and New York.
### Features
- Background shading for the Tokyo, London and New York sessions, each with its own color, transparency and on/off switch.
- Overlap handling: choose a dedicated color for periods when more than one session is active, or use a Priority order of New York over London over Tokyo.
- Optional session start/end markers with neutral session codes: TYO, LDN and NY.
- Optional active-session high and low plotted only while that session is open.
- Optional compact top-right table showing each session's Active/Inactive state and the number of sessions currently active.
- Optional informational session start/end alerts.
### Inputs
- Sessions: enable/disable, hours, timezone and day mask for each of the three sessions.
- Day mask: 23456 = Monday to Friday, 1234567 = every day.
- Colors: color and transparency for each session and for overlaps.
- Display: overlap handling, markers, active high/low, and the status table.
- Alerts: a single switch for session start/end alerts.
### How it works
The script checks, for every bar, whether the bar falls inside each configured session using PulseWire's time engine and the session's IANA timezone.
A session start is the first bar inside the session after a bar outside it. A session end is the first bar outside the session after a bar inside it.
No higher-timeframe requests are used. The script reads only the current chart's bars and time.
### Default session references
- Tokyo: 09:00-18:00, Asia/Tokyo
- London: 08:00-17:00, Europe/London
- New York: 08:00-17:00, America/New_York
These defaults are practical regional time references for intraday analysis. They are not universal market rules and may not match every broker, exchange, product, holiday schedule, or early close. Users can adjust the session times, timezones and active days in the Inputs tab.
### Originality and usefulness
This script is not only a static three-color background tool. It adds several practical context features:
1. Timezone-aware sessions
Each major session can use its own local IANA timezone. This helps London and New York remain aligned with local time changes such as daylight saving time.
2. Explicit overlap handling
When multiple sessions are active at the same time, the script can either use a dedicated overlap color or a clear priority order. This makes overlapping trading periods easier to identify.
3. Current-session range context
Optional high/low plots show the developing range of the active session. This can help users compare current price movement with that session's own developing range.
4. Compact active-session table
The table shows which sessions are currently active and how many sessions are active at the same time. This gives a quick status view without adding another pane.
5. Clean, non-directional design
The script does not label market direction, classify trend, or suggest a trading action. It only visualizes time-based context.
### Limitations
- Designed for intraday charts. On daily or higher timeframes, the script displays an informational notice and does not shade sessions.
- Session backgrounds only appear where bars exist on the chart. If a symbol has no trading data during a period, the script cannot fill missing bars.
- Holiday schedules, broker-specific trading breaks, exchange-specific sessions, and early closes are not detected automatically.
- Default session times are user-adjustable references, not universal market rules.
- It reflects the session hours and timezones configured by the user; users should verify them against the instrument and data feed.
- It shows time-of-day context only and does not analyze price beyond plotting the optional high/low of the active session.
### What this script does not do
- It does not generate trade signals.
- It does not provide entries, exits, targets, or position sizing.
- It does not predict future price movement.
- It does not claim improved performance, accuracy, or profitability.
- It does not use future data.
- It is not a strategy or backtest system.
- It is not financial advice.
### Suggested use
Use this on intraday charts where session timing is relevant, such as FX, index CFDs, futures, or other markets where regional trading activity may matter. Keep the chart clean so the session backgrounds, overlap periods, and optional range plots remain easy to read.

Elaris Session Strength Indicator## Elaris Session Breakout Pro
Elaris Session Breakout Pro is a clean and professional session-based trading indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability breakout opportunities during key market sessions such as London and New York.
The indicator automatically tracks the opening range of the selected session and highlights breakout confirmations when price closes above or below the defined session range. This allows traders to quickly spot momentum expansion, liquidity-driven moves, and potential intraday trend continuation setups without manually drawing levels.
Built with a strong focus on clarity, usability, and real-time decision support, the indicator is optimized for scalpers, day traders, and momentum traders across crypto, forex, and index markets.
### Key Features
• Automatic session opening range detection
• Dynamic breakout signals for bullish and bearish moves
• Non-repainting breakout confirmations
• Clean chart visualization with minimal clutter
• Configurable session timings and breakout logic
• Visual breakout labels and session range plotting
• Suitable for crypto, forex, and traditional markets
• Optimized for lower timeframes and intraday trading
### How It Works
The indicator monitors the first candle or opening range of the selected trading session. When price successfully closes above the session high, a bullish breakout signal is generated. When price closes below the session low, a bearish breakout signal is generated.
This approach helps traders identify moments where liquidity and volatility expand during active market hours, often leading to strong directional movement.
### Best Use Cases
• London session breakout trading
• New York open momentum trades
• Crypto volatility expansion setups
• Intraday trend continuation strategies
• Liquidity and range breakout confirmation
### Notes
Like all trading indicators, this tool should be used as part of a complete trading plan with proper risk management and confirmation techniques. Market conditions can vary, and no indicator guarantees profitability or a 100% win rate.

The goal is simple: help traders visually identify when NQ breaks out of the London session range during the New York morning session.
How It Works
1. The indicator draws a box around the 3:00 AM–9:00 AM NY time session.
2. It marks the London session high and low.
3. The New York execution window from 9:30 AM–11:00 AM is highlighted on the chart.
4. A buy signal appears when a 5-minute candle closes above the London high.
5. A sell signal appears when a 5-minute candle closes below the London low.
6. Optional entry, stop loss, and take profit lines can be displayed automatically.
Trade Logic
This indicator is built around a simple breakout model:
* Long Signal: Candle closes above the 3:00 AM–9:00 AM range high.
* Short Signal: Candle closes below the 3:00 AM–9:00 AM range low.
* Entry: Breakout candle close.
* Stop Loss: 5 ticks beyond the breakout candle.
* Take Profit: 2R by default.
* Signals Only Appear: Between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM New York time.
Features
* London range box
* London high and low levels
* New York execution window highlight
* Buy and sell breakout arrows
* Optional one-signal-per-day mode
* Optional entry, stop loss, and take profit lines
* Adjustable stop offset and take-profit R multiple
* Customizable colors, arrows, labels, and text size
* Alert conditions for long, short, or any breakout
Recommended Use
This indicator is intended for use on the NQ 5-minute chart with extended-hours data enabled.
It is best used as a visual backtesting and trade-planning tool. The indicator does not guarantee profitability and should be combined with proper risk management, market context, and your own testing.

SmartFlow Kill ZoneSmartFlow Kill Zone highlights the three major trading sessions (Tokyo, London, New York) and their corresponding ICT Kill Zones directly on your chart. Designed for intraday traders who use session-based and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) strategies, this indicator gives you instant visual clarity on when high-probability trading windows are active.
█ WHAT IT DOES
This indicator identifies and displays the three global forex sessions and three ICT Kill Zones using distinct background colors. It also tracks the High and Low of each session in real time and draws horizontal reference lines that update as the session progresses.
A built-in dashboard provides a quick overview of which sessions and Kill Zones are currently active, along with each session's range in pips.
█ HOW IT WORKS
Session and Kill Zone detection is based on time-of-day logic using the user-selected timezone (default: America/New_York):
Sessions:
- Tokyo: 19:00 – 04:00 ET
- London: 03:00 – 12:00 ET
- New York: 08:00 – 17:00 ET
Kill Zones (ICT):
- London Kill Zone: 02:00 – 05:00 ET
- New York Kill Zone: 07:00 – 10:00 ET
- Asian Kill Zone: 20:00 – 00:00 ET (off by default)
Session High/Low lines are drawn from the session's opening bar and updated on every new bar during the session. When a session closes, lines optionally extend to the right until the next session of the same type begins. Previous sessions' High/Low lines are preserved across multiple days (configurable via "Days to Display").
The dashboard table uses the last bar's data to show open/closed status, the session's current range, and whether any Kill Zone is active.
█ HOW TO USE
- Apply the indicator to any intraday chart (1m to 1h recommended).
- Use the background shading to quickly identify which session you are trading in.
- The brighter Kill Zone overlay tells you when the highest-probability reversal windows are active — this is where ICT traders look for optimal trade entries.
- Session High/Low lines act as key reference levels. Price often reacts at these levels as they represent session-based liquidity.
- The dashboard gives you a heads-up display so you never miss a Kill Zone activation.
█ FEATURES
- Three session backgrounds with independent on/off toggles
- Three ICT Kill Zone backgrounds with independent on/off toggles
- Real-time Session High/Low tracking with configurable line style and width
- High/Low labels that update live during the session
- "Extend Lines Right" option for lines to project forward until the next session
- Multi-day history (up to 30 days of past session H/L lines)
- Dashboard with session status, range (pips), and Kill Zone status
- Dashboard position and size are fully customizable
- 9 alert conditions (session open/close and Kill Zone activation)
- Full timezone support (10 major timezones)
- Works on any symbol and any intraday timeframe
█ SETTINGS
Sessions — Toggle visibility for Tokyo, London, and New York sessions.
Kill Zones — Toggle each ICT Kill Zone independently. Asian KZ is off by default.
Colors — Customize background colors for each session and Kill Zone.
Session High/Low — Toggle H/L lines and labels, set line width, style, and right extension.
Dashboard — Toggle, reposition, and resize the info panel.
Timezone — Select the timezone used for session calculations.
History — Set how many days of past session H/L lines to display (1–30).
█ NOTES
- This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It provides session structure and timing context to support your own trading strategy and decision-making.
- Kill Zone times are based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) framework. Different educators may define slightly different windows.
- For best results, use on timeframes of 1 hour or lower where session boundaries are clearly visible. Indicator
EdgeMatrix SessionsUnlike most session indicators that only mark static open or close levels, EdgeMatrix Sessions draws a live expanding range box for each session that updates bar by bar and remains as a permanent reference level after the session closes
EdgeMatrix Sessions draws real-time high and low range boxes for the four major global trading sessions directly on the chart. The sessions covered are Tokyo, London, New York, and Sydney.
Each session box begins drawing at the open of the session window and expands automatically bar by bar as price establishes new highs or lows within that session period. When the session closes, the box remains on the chart as a permanent reference level, giving traders a visual record of where price was accepted during each major market period.
Session boundary detection is handled using a UTC offset input, which allows the indicator to align session times accurately regardless of the trader's local timezone or broker server time. Each session has its own independent color input and can be toggled on or off individually. Session time ranges are fully adjustable for traders whose broker uses non-standard open and close times.
The indicator works on all asset classes including Futures, Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any timeframe.
How to use: Set the UTC offset to match your broker server time. Enable or disable each session with the toggle inputs. The boxes draw and expand automatically during active session hours and remain as static reference levels after each session closes. Indicator
Session Bias Relay Map [AGPro Series]Session Bias Relay Map
🧠 Core Idea
Did Asia, London, and New York pass the same bias forward, or did the next session reject the market narrative?
📌 Overview / What it does
Session Bias Relay Map is an intraday session-structure tool built to visualize how directional bias moves from one major trading session to the next.
The script tracks Asia, London, and New York session ranges, scores each session's directional bias, and classifies whether the active session confirms, conflicts with, or reverses the previous session's narrative.
It does not predict price direction, automate trades, or claim that a session handoff must continue. It is a structured visualization and decision-support map for session bias, market narrative, and intraday context.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
Many session tools draw boxes, highs, lows, or kill zones.
This script was built to answer a more contextual question:
Did the next major session accept the prior session's directional story, or did it break the handoff?
The design goal is to help traders read sessions as a relay of market intent instead of isolated time windows. It supports discretionary market reading, session review, and intraday structure analysis.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most session indicators focus on time blocks, session highs, and session lows.
This script does NOT stop at drawing session boxes.
Instead, it evaluates how each session behaves relative to the prior session. It scores bias strength, detects handoff confirmation, identifies conflict, and highlights reversal pressure when the active session builds a strong opposite narrative.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Session Detection
The script tracks configurable Asia, London, and New York session windows using the chart symbol's exchange timezone.
2. Session Range Mapping
For each session, it records open, high, low, close, midpoint, bar count, and live range behavior.
3. Bias Scoring
Session bias is scored using body pressure, close location inside the session range, and optional relative volume confirmation.
4. Relay Evaluation
London is compared against the completed Asia bias.
New York is compared against the completed London bias.
5. Visual Output
The chart displays session boxes, midpoint rails, centered session labels, relay event labels, right-side tags, alerts, and a compact AG Pro decision panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Session Boxes = the active session range built from each configured time window.
Centered Labels = the session name, current bias, relay state, and quality score.
Midpoint Rails = the middle of each session range, useful for reading control and balance.
Relay Event Labels = confirmation, conflict, or reversal events when a later session responds to the prior session.
Right-Side Tags = the current relay state and active session bias.
Panel = summarizes active session, relay state, bias score, prior session, session quality scores, next context, and timeframe scope.
🚦 Signals & States
• RELAY CONFIRMED → the active session supports the previous session's directional bias.
• RELAY REVERSAL → the active session builds strong bias opposite to the previous session.
• BIAS CONFLICT → the active session does not clearly confirm the previous session.
• FIRST LEG → Asia is building the first session bias for the daily relay.
• WAIT HANDOFF → the active handoff does not yet have enough evidence.
• BULLISH → the session is closing with bullish range pressure.
• BEARISH → the session is closing with bearish range pressure.
• NEUTRAL → the session does not have enough directional pressure.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when a major relay state appears.
• Session Bias Relay Confirmed → the active session confirmed the directional bias passed from the previous session.
• Session Bias Conflict → the active session failed to confirm the previous session and is showing conflict.
• Session Bias Reversal → the active session built strong bias opposite to the previous session.
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when:
• The previous session has a clear directional bias
• The active session has enough bars to evaluate
• The active session bias score is above the confirmation threshold
• Price closes with clear range position
• Relative volume supports participation
• The relay label and panel state agree
If these elements do not align, the script avoids forcing a strong directional interpretation.
📊 When to Use
• Intraday session analysis
• Forex, crypto, index futures, and liquid stock index products
• Asia-to-London handoff review
• London-to-New-York handoff review
• Market narrative tracking
• Session range and bias studies
• 15m, 30m, 1H, and 2H charts
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Daily, weekly, or monthly charts
• Very low-liquidity symbols
• Markets with irregular or meaningless session windows
• Extremely noisy conditions where session closes do not carry useful information
• Situations where a single session should not be over-interpreted
• Symbols where the chart exchange timezone does not match the intended session model
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Asia Session → defines the first session window used to build the initial bias.
• London Session → defines the second session window used to evaluate the Asia handoff.
• New York Session → defines the third session window used to evaluate the London handoff.
• Max Chart TF Minutes → limits the largest timeframe that should build the relay map.
• Bias Confirmation Threshold → controls how strong a session must be before it can confirm a relay.
• Conflict Threshold → controls when a session is treated as weak or conflicted.
• Minimum Handoff Bars → prevents early-session noise from printing premature relay labels.
• Use Volume Confirmation → adds relative volume pressure to the bias score.
• Show Session Boxes → controls the main visual range boxes.
• Show Relay Event Labels → controls confirmation, conflict, and reversal labels.
• Label Font Size → controls chart label and tag text size.
• Panel Font Size → controls panel text size.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The visual hierarchy is built around the session relay story.
Session boxes define the time windows.
Centered labels make each session readable without hunting through the chart.
Relay labels highlight the important handoff moments.
Right-side tags keep the current state visible.
The AG Pro panel summarizes the active session context in a clean, compact format.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Choose session windows that match the market being studied.
2. Let Asia build the first bias leg.
3. Watch whether London confirms, conflicts with, or reverses Asia.
4. Watch whether New York confirms, conflicts with, or reverses London.
5. Use the panel to check relay state, active bias, quality score, and timeframe scope.
6. Interpret the result inside broader market structure, liquidity, and volatility context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A relay confirmation does not guarantee continuation. It means the active session is supporting the prior session's directional bias according to the script's rule set.
A relay reversal does not guarantee a full trend reversal. It means the active session is building strong opposite pressure relative to the previous session.
A bias conflict is not a failure. It is useful information that the market narrative is not clean.
The best use is contextual: combine the relay state with support, resistance, liquidity, volume, and higher-timeframe structure.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an auto-trading system.
It does not provide guaranteed entry or exit signals.
It is not a generic session box indicator.
It is not a kill-zone strategy.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Session settings matter. Poorly selected session windows can produce weak or misleading context.
Timeframe differences can affect how session handoffs appear.
Low-liquidity markets can distort bias scores.
Markets with irregular trading hours may need custom session inputs.
Relative volume can help, but it does not guarantee better interpretation in every market.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Session behavior is often shaped by liquidity, regional participation, volatility expansion, and macro timing.
The same relay state can mean different things depending on whether the market is trending, ranging, or reacting to news.
The script is strongest when used as a narrative map, not as a standalone decision machine.
🧾 Use Case Examples
• If Asia builds a bullish range and London also closes with strong bullish pressure, the relay may show confirmation.
• If Asia builds bullish pressure but London quickly forms strong bearish pressure, the relay may show reversal.
• If London begins with weak movement and no clear range pressure, the relay may show conflict or wait for more evidence.
🧱 System Philosophy
Session Bias Relay Map is part of the AGPro Series approach to decision-support tools:
clear structure, premium chart readability, honest interpretation, and no promise of certainty.
The goal is to help traders see market context faster without turning analysis into signal spam.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can know the future.
No session handoff is guaranteed.
No signal should be interpreted without broader market context.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Markets can move unpredictably.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only.
It does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading outcomes.
Users remain responsible for their own decisions.
📚 Educational Note
Use this script to study how market participation changes across sessions.
The value is not only in the label. The value is in learning how the session narrative develops, confirms, conflicts, or reverses over time.

ALN Sessions [NQ Stats x CantoLab]A statistical tool for NQ intraday traders built around research from NQ Stats (NQStats on twitter / nqstats.com ). Credit to NQ Stats for the original concept and data — published here as an open source indicator with permission.
Introduction
This indicator visualizes Asia and London session ranges on NQ (NASDAQ futures), then overlays statistically-derived probability levels showing how likely price is to sweep each session's high or low — based on historical pattern data compiled by NQ Stats.
How to Read the Probability Numbers
When London session closes, two horizontal lines appear — one above (London High) and one below (London Low) — each labeled with a percentage like 81.1% or 74.9%.
These numbers answer: "Historically, how often does price return to sweep this level after London closes?"
For example, if you see 81.1% on the high line, it means: in roughly 8 out of 10 historical sessions matching this pattern, price eventually traded back up to or through the London High
What happens when a level is hit?
The label updates to show in blue — confirming that level was reached
The other line's probability updates to a new conditional probability, e.g. 46% , shown in brackets
This delta tells you how the odds of sweeping the second level changed now that the first was reached
The Four Patterns (Asia vs London relationship)
The probabilities change depending on how London's range relates to Asia's range that day. The indicator detects four patterns automatically:
London Engulfs Asia — London trades both above AND below Asia's range. The most expansive session structure.
Asia Engulfs London — Asia's range fully contains London's range. London consolidates inside the prior overnight range.
London High Break — London breaks only above Asia's high, leaving Asia's low intact.
London Low Break — London breaks only below Asia's low, leaving Asia's high intact.
Each pattern has its own set of historical probabilities, so the percentages you see are always contextual to that day's Asia/London relationship — not a fixed number.
Settings
Asia Session — color, session time window, and label text
London Session — color, session time window, and label text
Label Size — Tiny / Small / Normal / Large
Border — toggle, style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted), and width for session boxes
Probability Lines — toggle, Auto color or manual color pick, style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted), and width
Daily Dividers — toggle, color, style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted), and width

⚠️ Important
This is a statistical study indicator. It does not guarantee that the London high or low will be hit. Over a large sample, this is the expected behaviour based on 10 years of NQ data. It is best combined with other confluences to confirm direction — this indicator alone is not a strategy.

Asian Range Liquidity Map [AGPro Series]Asian Range Liquidity Map
🔹 OVERVIEW
Asian Range Liquidity Map is a precision tool for ICT and smart-money traders who focus on the London Open liquidity sweep. The indicator maps the Asian session high/low liquidity pool, tracks which side gets taken on the London kill-zone, and keeps a rolling 60-session record of post-sweep reactions. The engine calculates live Reversal / Continuation / Mixed probabilities for both bull and bear sweeps and displays everything in a compact info panel without cluttering the chart.
Whether you trade Turtle Soup setups, session-based liquidity grabs, or simply want clean Asian range context, this indicator gives you the structural read most traders spend months building manually.
🔹 UNIQUE EDGE
This is not another session-box plotter. Three design choices separate it from generic Asian range indicators:
1. ATR-Normalized Quality Filter — the range width is measured against the Daily ATR, not the chart timeframe. Sessions that are abnormally narrow (illiquid) or abnormally wide (news-driven noise) are filtered out of the statistics engine automatically. Only clean, tradable ranges count.
2. Live Historical Statistics Engine — every past sweep in the 60-session rolling window is classified as Reversal, Continuation, or Mixed using close-based validation. When a new sweep fires, a state label immediately shows the historical bias: "Bull Sweep -> Historical Reversal 73% (n=26)". You see the context the moment price reacts.
3. Three-Tier Classification — most tools treat sweep reactions as a binary outcome. This engine separates clean reversals, clean continuations, and indecisive mixed responses, giving a more honest statistical picture. The Mixed bucket is visible in the panel so the trader always knows how confident the signal actually is.
🔹 METHODOLOGY
1. Session Tracking — the Asian window is tracked using pure UTC hour/minute math (default 00:00-08:00 UTC), fully independent of chart timezone. Start and end hours are configurable.
2. Range Validity — on session close, the range width is compared to the Daily ATR. If the ratio falls outside the user-defined band (default 0.3-2.0 x dATR), the session is marked Filtered Out and excluded from statistics.
3. Sweep Detection — after the session closes, the engine watches a configurable post-open window (default 6 hours) for the first break of the Asian High or Low. Only the first sweep per session is recorded, which keeps the sample clean.
4. Reaction Classification — after the reaction window (default 10 bars), the engine evaluates post-sweep closes:
- Reversal: price closed through the opposite side by at least Reversal Threshold x Range
- Continuation: price sustained past the sweep level with pullback under Continuation Threshold x Range
- Mixed: neither condition was met
5. Rolling Sample — the most recent 60 classified sweeps feed the Bull and Bear statistics independently. Default is 60, configurable from 20 to 100.
🔹 SIGNALS AND ON-CHART ELEMENTS
- Asian Range Box: dotted amber rectangle during the session, solidifies on close if the range passes the ATR filter. Filtered sessions fade to near-invisible.
- High and Low Dotted Extensions: projected right from each validated session, showing the liquidity levels the market will target.
- Sweep State Label: appears on the bar that first breaks the range. Color-coded green for bull sweeps, pink for bear sweeps, with the historical bias and sample size baked in.
- Sweep Line: thick horizontal line at the taken level, drawn forward across the projection zone.
- Projection Zone: rectangular post-sweep forecast box where follow-through (or rejection) typically plays out.
- Multi-Day Overlay: up to the last 5 validated Asian ranges rendered with fade hierarchy (oldest most faded, newest most visible).
- Three alerts are included: Bull Sweep Detected, Bear Sweep Detected, and London Open with Valid Asian Range.
🔹 KEY INPUTS
Session Settings:
- Asian Session Start/End Hour (UTC)
- Sweep Detection Window (hours after London Open)
Quality Filter:
- Use ATR filter (on/off)
- Min and Max Range Width (x Daily ATR)
- ATR Length
Historical Stats Engine:
- Sample Size (20-100 sessions)
- Reaction Window (bars after sweep)
- Reversal Threshold (x Range)
- Continuation Threshold (x Range)
Multi-Day Overlay:
- Show historical sessions (on/off)
- Days to show and fade intensity
Post-Sweep Projection:
- Show projection zone (on/off)
- Projection length in bars
Visual Style:
- Label Font Size (independent from panel)
- Show sweep state label (on/off)
Info Panel:
- Show panel, location, theme (Dark/Light)
- Panel Font Size (independent from labels)
🔹 HOW TO USE
Best fit: intraday timeframes from 1m to 60m. The 15m chart is the intended sweet spot and what the defaults are tuned around. The script auto-disables on 4H and higher with a clear on-chart notice.
Typical workflow:
1. Confirm Range Status shows Valid after the Asian session closes. If Filtered Out, stand aside that day.
2. Wait for the London Sweep Window state and watch the Asian High/Low levels.
3. When a sweep fires, read the state label. A high Reversal probability near a major higher-timeframe level often flags a Turtle Soup opportunity. A high Continuation probability suggests fading is risky and trend-aligned entries are preferred.
4. Use the projection zone as a post-sweep attention area, not a target in itself.
5. Cross-check with your own higher-timeframe bias, volume, and structure before committing.
🔹 LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
- This is a context tool, not a strategy. No buy/sell signals are generated and no backtest or performance claim is made.
- The historical percentages shown are descriptive statistics of recent price behavior in the sample window. They describe what has happened, not what will happen. A reading like 80% Reversal means four out of five prior sweeps in the sample reversed; the fifth did not.
- On strongly trending or low-volatility instruments, distributions can skew heavily to one category. For example, on a tight range-bound market a liquidity sweep almost always reverts, producing very high Reversal readings. This is a feature of the data, not a bug. If a distribution looks extreme, tighten the Reversal Threshold and shorten the Reaction Window for a stricter definition, or widen them for a looser one.
- Request.security is used to pull Daily ATR and is evaluated without lookahead; no future data is used.
- First-run sample size will be small until the chart has enough history to fill 60 sessions. Expect the panel to show progress like 18 / 60 until the buffer fills.
🔹 RISK DISCLOSURE
This indicator is a research and analysis tool for educational purposes. It does not constitute financial advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to buy or sell any asset. Past behavior of liquidity sweeps does not guarantee future outcomes. Trading carries substantial risk of loss. Always perform your own analysis, apply risk management that suits your account, and consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions. Indicator
Session Reaction Map [AGPro Series]Session Reaction Map
🔷 OVERVIEW
Session Reaction Map is a premium intraday study that maps how price reacts to the most important daily and weekly reference levels right at the opens of the Asia, London and New York sessions. Each session open is evaluated inside a fixed measurement window, and the resulting reaction is broken down into four dimensions: dominant move, close follow-through, wick rejection and counter-move penalty. The output is a single 0-100 reaction score that is then translated into tier-coded labels, premium reaction zones, an active reference band and a compact status panel, so you can instantly read what happened at each session open without scrolling through candles.
The indicator is designed for discretionary traders, systematic traders, SMC and price action practitioners who want a clean, consistent and quantitative way to read session open behaviour around PDH, PDL, PDM, Daily Open and Weekly Open. Reactions are drawn as directional zones (bull zones above the reference and bear zones below), with up or down pointing labels centered on the reaction, so orientation is always unambiguous.
🧭 UNIQUE EDGE
Most session open tools only mark time windows or highlight levels. Session Reaction Map goes further and quantifies the quality of the reaction itself. Four independent dimensions are measured against a fixed ATR-normalized baseline, and the final score determines not only whether a label is shown but also how prominent it is. Elite scores (80+) get the strongest visuals; strong scores (70-79) get a slightly softer treatment; watch scores (55-69) are coded as caution; anything below 55 is filtered out by default.
This separation between detection (a session open near a reference) and evaluation (the reaction quality score) is the core edge. It lets you focus only on the best intraday reactions and discard noise automatically, while still being able to audit every component by adjusting the ATR length, touch tolerance, evaluation window and score thresholds.
⚙️ METHODOLOGY
Session detection uses the chosen timezone and three session windows (Asia, London, New York), each with its own editable open range. When a session open occurs, the script checks whether the open price is within an ATR based touch tolerance of any enabled reference level (Previous Day High, Previous Day Low, Previous Day Mid, Daily Open or Weekly Open). If so, a reaction window is engaged on that bar and tracked for a configurable number of bars.
During the reaction window, the live zone, reference band and dashed reference line are updated in real time. When the window completes, the final score is computed as:
• Dominant move score (up to 45 points) - scaled against 1.20 x ATR
• Close follow-through score (up to 30 points) - scaled against 0.90 x ATR
• Wick rejection score (up to 15 points) - scaled against 0.50 x ATR
• Counter-move penalty (up to -20 points) - scaled against 1.00 x ATR
The sum is clamped into the 0-100 range and mapped into four tiers: Elite, Strong, Watch and Weak. The dominant direction of the reaction (up or down) is determined by comparing the upside excursion from the reference to the downside excursion from the reference during the window.
🎯 SIGNALS AND VISUALS
• Reaction zones - rectangular areas connecting the reference level with the reaction extreme, tier-coded by score and bias
• Active reference band - a thin accent band around the current reference level during a live reaction window
• Dashed reference line - marks the exact reference price while the reaction is being measured
• Tier-coded labels - up-pointing labels below bullish reactions and down-pointing labels above bearish reactions, centered on the reaction window
• Session dots - small colored markers that optionally display only on valid events, keeping the chart clean
• Active measurement highlight - an ultra-soft background shade on bars inside a live reaction window
Labels use a ring buffer overlap check, so dense multi-session conditions do not pile labels on top of each other. When two labels would visually conflict, the higher-scored reaction wins.
🛠️ KEY INPUTS
Sessions - enable/disable and edit Asia, London and New York session windows, each with its own color and timezone.
Reference Levels - individually toggle PDH, PDL, PDM, Daily Open and Weekly Open.
Reaction Logic - ATR length, touch tolerance in ATR, evaluation bars, label score filter, minimum label score, overlap reduction (bars and vertical ATR gap).
Visuals - show/hide reference levels, session dots, dots only on valid events, reaction zones, minimum score for zones, zone transparency and extension, live reaction zone, active reference band with its ATR size and transparency, active measurement highlight, level width, label size, label offset in ATR and label background transparency.
Panel - show/hide, position (six anchor points), Dark or Light theme, font size, optional guide row.
All numerical inputs carry professional English tooltips explaining their role, so the script can be tuned for any symbol, timeframe and trading style.
📘 HOW TO USE
1. Apply the script on an intraday timeframe. It is designed for intraday use and will stay passive on daily/higher timeframes.
2. Recommended starting timeframe is 4H for swing intraday context, and 1H for tactical intraday work. Lower timeframes (15m, 30m) work too but may produce dense output.
3. Start with the default settings. Observe which sessions and which reference levels generate the most Elite and Strong reactions on your symbol.
4. Use the panel to monitor the current state: last session, last reference, bias, score, tier, label filter, zone filter and the active reaction status.
5. Treat Elite (80+) and Strong (70-79) reactions as the main signals. Watch tier is informative and Weak tier is generally discarded.
6. Align with your own confluence: higher timeframe bias, structure, orderflow, or whatever your primary framework is. The script does not issue buy or sell calls - it scores reactions, and you decide.
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
• This is not a strategy and does not place orders. No backtest statistics are implied.
• Reaction scores are computed after the evaluation window completes, so they are not repainting but are confirmed with a lag equal to the evaluation window size.
• The live reaction zone updates during the window and is finalized when the window closes.
• Session behavior varies significantly by symbol (crypto vs FX vs equities) and by volatility regime. Inputs should be tuned per symbol.
• Daily and Weekly references use standard request.security with barmerge.lookahead_off to avoid look-ahead bias.
• The script is not a forecasting tool. It is a post-event quantification of how price has just reacted to a known reference level.
🛡️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading involves substantial risk. Past reactions, patterns, zones or scores do not guarantee future performance. This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always combine any tool with your own research, a defined risk plan and proper position sizing.

Judas Swing Detector [AGPro Series]Judas Swing Detector
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Judas Swing is a well-known intraday pattern in ICT (Inner Circle Trader)
methodology describing how price often makes a deceptive initial move at the
London or New York session open — pulling in participants in one direction —
before reversing to reveal the session's true directional bias.
Judas Swing Detector systematically identifies, visualizes, and tracks this
pattern across every London and New York session open. It shades the trap
zone, flags the reversal bar, highlights the true-direction bias, and maintains
a rolling 20-session performance log so users can assess how consistently the
pattern resolves on their chosen symbol and timeframe.
IMPORTANT — Timeframe requirement: This indicator is designed for intraday
charts of 1 hour or lower (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h). Session windows anchor the
entire logic, and a 1-hour Judas window cannot be resolved on 4-hour or higher
charts. The panel always shows an "Optimal TF: 1m - 1h" footer, and the TF
status row turns yellow with "use <=1h" if the current chart exceeds this
range.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
UNIQUE EDGE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Unlike generic session-open or breakout indicators, Judas Swing Detector is
built around a defined four-state lifecycle (Pending → Active → Forming →
Confirmed / Failed) with ATR-normalized thresholds, so detection remains
stable across different volatility regimes and asset classes.
Three design choices make it distinct:
1. Independent two-way extremum tracking inside the Judas window — both the
maximum upward and maximum downward excursion are recorded, and the larger
of the two is declared the fake move when the window closes. This removes
ambiguity in choppy openings.
2. Separate fake-move and reversal thresholds. The initial push must exceed
a minimum ATR-scaled size to qualify, and the reversal must travel a second
ATR-scaled distance beyond the session open — filtering out shallow round
trips that would otherwise inflate the signal count.
3. Rolling 20-session statistics panel reporting success rate, average fake
distance, and directional bias, giving discretionary traders an objective
view of how the pattern is behaving on their instrument before they act on
it.
4. Support/resistance-style invalidation zone drawn at the fake-move extremum
after confirmation. This gives a clear visual anchor: if price later
re-enters this zone from the opposite side during the session, the Judas
read is considered broken. The zone is a reference, not an automatic
signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
METHODOLOGY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 1 — Session anchoring
At the first bar of the configured London or New York window the script
records the session open price, resets the two-way extremum trackers, and
transitions to the Active state.
Step 2 — Fake-move accumulation
During the window the script tracks both the maximum high and minimum low
relative to the session open. Neither is committed as the fake move until the
window closes.
Step 3 — Window-close evaluation
When the window ends the larger excursion (up vs down) becomes the fake
direction. If its size reaches the user-defined ATR multiple it qualifies and
the script transitions to the Forming state; otherwise it resets to idle.
Step 4 — Reversal confirmation
In the Forming state the script waits for price to cross the session open in
the opposite direction of the fake move and travel at least the configured
ATR-scaled distance beyond it. When that happens the swing is Confirmed and
the true direction is drawn on the chart. If the reversal window expires
without confirmation the swing is recorded as Failed.
Step 5 — History log
Every confirmed and failed outcome is appended to a rolling 20-session log
used by the statistics panel.

SIGNALS & ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
On-chart visuals:
• Dashed vertical line at session start (accent color)
• "LON" or "NY" label at the session anchor bar (Balanced / Detailed only)
• Shaded fake-move box from session open to fake extremum, colored opposite
to the true direction (a bearish trap is shaded in the bear tone because
the true direction is down — and vice versa)
• Optional "Fake" distance label at the extremum (Detailed density only)
• Reversal marker "X UP" or "X DOWN" at the confirmation bar, offset
from the candles for readability
• Horizontal support/resistance-style invalidation zone around the fake
extremum, extending 40 bars to the right — a visual reference for where
the Judas read would break down if price re-enters the zone
Alert conditions (toggle individually in settings):
• Judas Swing Forming — fake move has qualified, waiting for reversal
• Judas Swing Confirmed — reversal threshold crossed, true direction known
• Judas Swing Failed — reversal window expired without confirmation

HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Supported timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h. These resolve a session's early
structure cleanly while keeping enough bars inside each Judas window for the
extremum tracker to work with. Recommended default: 15m or 1h.
Not supported: 4h, 1D, 1W. On these timeframes a single bar exceeds the
session window, so nothing is detected. The panel will show a yellow "use
<=1h" hint if you accidentally switch to one of these.
Recommended instruments: FX majors (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY), index futures
(NQ, ES), liquid crypto (BTC, ETH). The ATR-normalized thresholds keep the
logic portable across these asset classes.
Workflow suggestion:
1. Apply the indicator and let it observe several sessions so the panel
populates a meaningful sample.
2. Review the 20-session success rate on your specific symbol and timeframe.
This is not a forecast — it is a descriptive statistic of how the pattern
has resolved in recent history on that chart.
3. Use the Forming alert as a heads-up, and the Confirmed alert as the main
event. The true-direction arrow marks the bias of the remaining session,
not a trade entry or exit.
4. Combine with your own structural context — higher timeframe bias, key
levels, liquidity pools — before acting on any signal.

LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Not a strategy. This is a discretionary analysis tool; it neither places
orders nor implies any specific trade setup.
• Intraday timeframes only. The logic requires 1h or lower charts to resolve
the session windows. On 4h, 1D or higher the indicator will not detect
anything and the panel will show a "use <=1h" notice.
• No forecasting. Displayed statistics describe past behavior on the current
chart only and do not imply future performance.
• Pattern-dependent. When price opens and trends cleanly in one direction
without a fake move, the pattern legitimately will not trigger. Low
signal count on such sessions is expected behavior, not a malfunction.
• Session boundary sensitivity. Results depend on the configured session
windows and timezone. Outside the major FX and equities session hours the
ICT framing may not translate cleanly.
• Extreme-volatility sessions. During very large gaps or news spikes the ATR
thresholds can be dominated by a single bar; users should review the
defaults in those conditions.
• Symbol coverage. Pip conversion handles forex and JPY pairs explicitly and
falls back to tick-based sizing for other asset types. Values are intended
as relative magnitudes, not broker-specific pip quotes.

ALN Sessions NQ 8am Prediction Model v3ALN Sessions — NQ Structural Framework
A structural analysis tool for NQ E-Mini Futures based on the Asia / London / New York overnight session relationships documented at nqstats.com.
All probability data is sourced directly from the 10-year study published at nqstats.com (2016–2026, n = 2,542 sessions). Full methodology and pattern breakdown available at: nqstats.com
What it does
At the 08:00 ET bar close (London session end), the indicator classifies the overnight structure into one of four patterns based on how the London range relates to the Asia range:
P1 - London Engulfs Asia (22% of sessions) — London expands beyond Asia on both sides. Symmetric two-way volatility into NY. No directional edge.
P2 - Asia Engulfs London (6.9%) — London compresses inside Asia. Strongest setup — NY broke at least one level in every session over 10 years.
P3 - Partial Engulf Up (41%) — London broke the Asia high but held the Asia low. Bullish overnight lean. High breaks in 80.8% of NY sessions.
