Liquidity Reaction Market Context FrameworkDescription
Liquidity Reaction – Market Context Framework is a structured visual tool designed to provide traders with clear market context based on session behavior, time-based positioning, and key reference levels.
This script does not aim to generate signals. Instead, it builds a contextual framework that helps traders understand how price evolves across different trading sessions and how liquidity transitions occur throughout the day.
Core Concept
Markets do not move randomly — they evolve through time-based cycles, where each session contributes to liquidity creation, expansion, and rebalancing.
This indicator organizes that behavior into a unified structure, allowing traders to:
Identify where price is within the daily cycle
Understand how sessions interact with each other
Detect where liquidity is likely being formed or consumed
Track how price reacts to prior session ranges and reference levels
Components
1. Sessions (Day, Asia, London, New York)
Each session is represented as a dynamic range (high–low) that evolves in real time.
Purpose:
Define structural ranges
Highlight consolidation and expansion phases
Provide context for intraday positioning
2. Session Close–Open Relationship (Gap)
The script tracks the relationship between the previous reference close and the next session open.
Purpose:
Identify imbalance zones
Highlight potential rebalancing areas
Provide a key reference for intraday reactions
3. Time Zones (Background Context)
Background shading represents key trading windows in New York time.
Purpose:
Provide temporal orientation
Align price action with institutional trading hours
Improve session-based analysis
4. Extended Hours
Marks low-liquidity periods outside primary sessions.
Purpose:
Contextualize reduced participation
Identify transitions between active and inactive markets
5. SMA 200
A long-term moving average included as a structural reference.
Purpose:
Provide directional bias context
Help visualize broader market positioning
Why This Script Is Different
Unlike traditional indicators that focus on signals or isolated calculations, this script is built as a contextual framework.
It integrates multiple time-based elements into a single, coherent structure that reflects how markets actually operate:
Through sessions
Through time
Through liquidity transitions
How to Use
Use sessions to understand where price is developing structure
Observe how price behaves when entering or leaving a session
Use the gap as a reference for imbalance and potential reaction
Align execution with time zones rather than arbitrary signals
Use SMA 200 as a higher-level directional filter
Notes
This indicator is designed to be used directly on the main chart
For proper visualization, place it above in the object tree
Works best on intraday timeframes where session behavior is more relevant
Each component can be enabled or disabled and limited by timeframe
This script is intended for traders who prioritize context over signals, and who want to understand the structure behind price movement, not just its outcome.

ICT NY Futures Indices Session Model - YT New York MentorshipThis indicator plots out the time periods and open lines as outlined in ICT's 2022 Mentorship and is designed specifically for the New York futures trading session.
Time zone is set to GMT-4 (NY) by default but can be changed for accommodate daylight saving in the menu.
Please note this indicator is to be used only on the 30min timeframe and below.
Here are its features:
The background color shows the morning session, in two parts (8.30am to 9.30am and 9.30am to 11.30am), then a two hour gap for lunch (ICT calls this "Dead time") and finally, the afternoon session, also to two (1.30pm to 3pm and 3pm to 4pm).
It not only shows the current killzones, but future zones as well.
These times are important; trades can be framed within these zones as taught in the mentorship.
Next are the open lines. These lines are automatically plotted and can be areas for price to react off of; they are the opening price of a candle at these times:
00.00 (New York Midnight, also known as "True Day Open")
8.30am (New York Equities pre-open)
9.30am (New York Equities open)
2.00am (London Stock Exchange open)
And lastly, London's trading session High and Low are projected forward onto the New York trading session.
These two price points are areas of liquidity that were pooled during London, but they can also often set the high or low of the day.
Please let me know if there are any bugs or if you have suggestions for the next update.
