Weekly & Daily Reference Levels Weekly & Daily Reference Levels (ICT)
Plots and labels six key price reference levels drawn directly from ICT methodology — Current Week High/Low (CWH/CWL), Previous Week High/Low (PWH/PWL), and Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL) — giving you a clean, always-updated map of where liquidity is resting and where price has been engineered from.
CWH and CWL update live as the week develops, acting as your active buy-side and sell-side liquidity references. PWH and PWL lock at the weekly close and serve as the higher-timeframe draw targets framing the current week's range. PDH and PDL reset each day, giving you the prior session's engineered liquidity for the current trading day — the levels most likely to be swept before any meaningful directional move.
When two or more levels coincide within a configurable price threshold, their labels automatically merge into a single combined label — so instead of stacked text you get one clean read like CWH + PDH directly on the line. The moment those levels separate, the labels split back out independently. No overlaps, no clutter, no manual cleanup required.
Built to stay readable on a white background at any scalping timeframe from 1m to 15m. Solid lines for active levels, dotted for reference levels, and a strict one-label-per-line rule enforced throughout.
Displays: CWH · CWL · PWH · PWL · PDH · PDL — nothing else.

AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine
Overview / What it does
AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine is a price-reference overlay built to track prior day, prior week, and prior month high / low levels in a clean and structured way. The script can display PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, and optionally PMH / PML, together with midpoint equilibrium levels for the selected ranges.
The main purpose of the script is not to predict direction, generate guaranteed entries, or replace a complete trading plan. Its role is narrower and more practical: it helps traders keep important prior-period reference levels visible on the chart, distinguish which levels remain active, and identify which ones have already been traded through. In many markets, prior highs and lows are widely monitored as liquidity, reaction, and reference areas. This script organizes those areas into a format that is easier to read in live conditions.
A core design goal of this tool is chart hygiene. Many prior-level indicators become visually noisy when several daily, weekly, and monthly references are drawn together. This script was designed to keep the structure readable by using a minimal label system, right-extended lines, a swept / unswept state model, and an optional dashboard that summarizes the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly levels.
The result is a workflow-oriented overlay that helps with context. Instead of forcing interpretation through aggressive signals, it presents a structured map of where important prior-period levels are located, whether they are still untouched, and whether current price is approaching one of them. That makes it suitable for traders who want an objective level engine rather than a directional prediction tool.
Unique Edge
The script focuses on presentation quality and state clarity rather than simple level plotting. Prior highs and lows are not rare concepts, but the practical usefulness of such levels depends heavily on how they are filtered, displayed, and maintained on the chart. This script aims to improve that usability in several ways.
First, it separates active levels from swept levels. This matters because a previously untouched level and a level that has already been traded through do not carry the same contextual value for many traders. By visually differentiating unswept and swept references, the overlay can help reduce ambiguity when reviewing current structure.
Second, it combines multi-period references in one coherent engine. Daily, weekly, and optional monthly levels can all be displayed together, while preserving a relatively clean visual hierarchy. This is particularly useful for traders who want to see whether current price is interacting with short-term references inside larger higher-timeframe ranges.
Third, it includes proximity logic. The script can highlight levels when price is near them using a threshold defined in ticks, percentage, or ATR terms. This does not imply a trade signal by itself. Instead, it acts as a situational awareness feature that helps traders notice when price is entering a predefined level zone.
Fourth, the script offers session and timezone controls. That allows the user to adapt the level-building logic to the exchange clock or to a chosen session definition. For traders who care about session-based construction and consistency across instruments, this can be an important operational detail.
Finally, the panel is designed as a compact summary rather than a decorative feature. It reports the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly references, shows counts for active and swept levels, and keeps session / timezone / label mode settings visible. The goal is to reduce chart scanning time and make the script easier to use during live analysis.
Methodology
The engine tracks highs and lows from completed prior periods and then projects those values forward as reference lines. Depending on the enabled settings, it can build:
- Previous Day High and Previous Day Low
- Previous Week High and Previous Week Low
- Previous Month High and Previous Month Low
- Optional equilibrium midpoints for each enabled range
Each level is created only after the relevant source period is completed. In that sense, the level itself is based on completed historical range data. Once created, the line is monitored for its state. If price trades through a high reference or a low reference, the script marks that level as swept and changes its visual treatment accordingly.
The script also maintains historical periods up to the number defined in the settings. This makes it possible to preserve a limited amount of recent structure without keeping an unlimited number of stale objects on the chart.
The equilibrium option adds the midpoint of the corresponding prior range. Some traders use these 50% areas as balance references or as secondary context between the prior high and low. Because that midpoint is optional, the user can keep it visible when needed or disable it for a cleaner chart.
The proximity engine measures how close current price is to an active level using one of three methods:
- Tick distance
- Percentage distance
- ATR-based distance
This feature is meant to flag nearness, not to define trade quality on its own. A prior level being near price does not automatically make the setup actionable. It only states that price is close to a tracked reference according to the selected threshold logic.
States / Signals / Alerts
This script is primarily a level-state and context tool. It is not a directional forecasting model. Its most important outputs are state-based:
1) Active level
A level is considered active when it has been created from a completed prior period and has not yet been traded through by price.
2) Swept level
A level is considered swept when price trades through that reference. Visually separating swept levels from active ones helps the chart communicate which prior references remain untouched.
3) Near-level condition
When enabled, the script can highlight active levels that are close to current price according to the user-defined threshold method. This can help traders focus attention on nearby reference zones without scanning the entire chart manually.
4) Compact dashboard state
The panel summarizes the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly levels, along with active count, swept count, near count, selected timezone, session configuration, and label mode.
The included alert conditions are intentionally simple and state-based:
- Price is near one of the active levels
- At least one tracked level was swept on the current bar
These alerts are meant to support monitoring. They are not, by themselves, a complete trading trigger. Users should interpret them together with structure, volatility, session context, confirmation rules, and their own risk process.
Why this script can be useful
This script can be useful because prior highs and lows often matter most when they are easy to monitor and hard to misread. In practice, traders do not only need the raw numbers; they need a chart presentation that allows those numbers to remain readable during fast market conditions.
A clean prior-level map can help in several common situations:
- Evaluating whether price is approaching an untouched daily or weekly reference
- Checking whether a local move is happening inside a larger higher-timeframe level framework
- Distinguishing still-relevant references from already-tested ones
- Monitoring potential reaction zones without crowding the chart with excessive objects
- Organizing reference structure across intraday and swing workflows
The script is also designed to remain practical over time. Instead of drawing everything with equal visual importance, it uses state logic and summary logic to keep the display more structured. That can make the tool easier to integrate into a routine where prior-period references are part of the trader's contextual process.
Another useful aspect is that the script stays objective. It does not attempt to label every market move with a strong opinion. It shows completed prior-period levels, their current state, and whether price is approaching them. Many traders prefer this kind of neutral reference framework because it can be combined with other methodologies without forcing one interpretation.
Key Inputs
Timezone
The script can use the exchange timezone or a selected timezone. This affects how period transitions are interpreted.
Use Custom Session Filter
When enabled, highs and lows are built only from bars inside the selected session. This allows the user to adapt the range construction to a chosen session framework.
Session
Defines the custom session window when session filtering is enabled.
Show Previous Day / Week / Month Levels
Each group can be enabled or disabled independently so the user can decide how much structure to display.
Show Equilibrium Midpoints
Adds the 50% midpoint of each enabled prior range.
Historical Periods to Keep
Controls how many past periods remain visible on the chart for each enabled level family.
Proximity Threshold Type
Lets the user define nearness by ticks, percentage, or ATR.
Threshold Value / ATR Length
Controls the sensitivity of the proximity logic.
Highlight Levels When Near
Allows visual emphasis when price approaches an active level.
Line Style and Extension Settings
Controls the appearance of unswept and swept lines and whether active lines extend to the right.
Minimal Label Mode
Allows labels to be turned off, restricted, or shown for active levels, depending on the user's preferred chart cleanliness.
Panel Controls
The dashboard can be enabled or disabled and its size, position, and colors can be adjusted.
Example use cases
This script can be used in different ways depending on the trader's workflow.
Intraday context mapping:
A trader may monitor PDH and PDL together with PWH and PWL to understand whether intraday price is moving into untouched daily liquidity while still operating inside a broader weekly range.
Reaction-zone awareness:
A trader may use near-level highlighting to notice when price is approaching an unswept prior high or prior low and then look for separate confirmation with their own method.
Structure filtering:
A trader may ignore swept references and focus mainly on active levels that remain intact, especially when trying to simplify the chart during live sessions.
Session-based reference building:
A trader who prefers a specific session logic can use the session filter so the constructed ranges better match their market framework.
Dashboard monitoring:
A trader may use the panel as a quick situational summary to identify which daily, weekly, or monthly reference is closest without manually reading every line.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not know why price interacts with a level. It only identifies prior-period references and tracks whether they are active, near, or swept according to the rules defined in the code.
A prior level is not automatically support or resistance in every market condition. Some reactions are meaningful, some are shallow, and some levels are passed through with little response. For that reason, the script should be treated as a structured reference map rather than a self-sufficient trade decision engine.
The near-level logic depends on user-defined thresholds. Different threshold types and values can materially change how often levels are classified as near. Traders should calibrate these settings according to instrument volatility and their own workflow.
Session and timezone choices also matter. The same market can produce different prior-period values depending on how the session is defined. Users should select settings that match the way they analyze the instrument.
Historical object limits, chart timeframe, and chart compression can influence how dense the display appears. A setting that looks clean on one instrument or timeframe may feel crowded on another. The script provides controls to manage that, but users should still adapt it to their own use case.
The midpoint equilibrium lines are optional because not every trader uses 50% references the same way. Their inclusion does not imply that the midpoint has universal predictive value. It is simply provided as an additional structural reference.
This script is intentionally conservative in what it claims. It does not claim to detect institutional intent, hidden order flow, or guaranteed reversals. It displays prior completed reference levels and their current state on the chart.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or trade recommendations.
Prior-period highs, lows, and midpoint references can be useful market context, but they are not guarantees of reaction, reversal, continuation, or liquidity behavior. Market conditions can change quickly, and price can move through any level without producing a tradable setup.
Users should combine this tool with their own confirmation process, execution rules, position sizing framework, and risk management. No indicator should be used as the sole basis for entering or exiting a trade.
Before using any chart tool in live markets, it is important to understand how its settings affect output, how it behaves on the instrument being traded, and how it fits into a broader decision process.
AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine is designed to help organize prior-period level information in a cleaner and more operational format. Its value comes from clarity, state tracking, and context support, not from predictive certainty.
Indicator
Killzone Cartograph [JOAT]Killzone Cartograph
Introduction
Killzone Cartograph is an advanced open-source session structure mapper built around ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It automatically detects and renders the major institutional trading sessions — Asia, London, New York, and London Close — as color-coded boxes on the chart, calculates deviation projections from session ranges, tracks the New York Midnight Open as a key reference level, measures session dominance, detects session overlaps, and provides session bias signals. The indicator transforms raw time-of-day data into a structured visual map of when and where institutional activity concentrates.
The reason this indicator exists is that price does not move randomly throughout the day. Institutional order flow clusters around specific session windows — the "killzones" — where liquidity is deepest and the largest moves originate. Retail traders who ignore session structure often enter during low-liquidity periods (getting chopped) or miss the high-probability windows entirely. Killzone Cartograph makes session structure visible so traders can align their activity with institutional timing.
Core Concepts
1. Session Killzone Detection and Rendering
Each session is defined by a time window and timezone. The indicator detects when the current bar falls within each session and renders a box from the session's high to low, extending as the session progresses:
Asia Session: Typically 2000-0000 NY time. Often establishes the initial range that London and New York will sweep
London Session: Typically 0200-0500 NY time. The first major liquidity injection of the day, frequently setting the daily direction
New York Session: Typically 0700-1000 NY time. The highest-volume window where the London move is either confirmed or reversed
London Close: Typically 1000-1200 NY time. A secondary window where institutional position management creates distinct price patterns
Each session box is rendered with a distinct color from a muted institutional palette — tyrian violet for Asia, cardinal for London, cerulean for New York, and gunmetal for London Close. Box borders use the session color while fills use high transparency to avoid obscuring price action.
2. Deviation Projections
Once a session's range is established, the indicator projects deviation levels above and below the session high and low. These projections use configurable multipliers of the session range to identify where price might reach if it breaks out of the session box. This concept is rooted in the ICT framework where session ranges serve as measuring sticks for subsequent moves:
float sessionRange = sessionHigh - sessionLow
float devUp = sessionHigh + sessionRange * deviationMult
float devDn = sessionLow - sessionRange * deviationMult
Deviation levels are drawn as dashed lines extending from the session box, providing visual targets for breakout moves.
3. New York Midnight Open Reference
The NY Midnight Open (the opening price at 00:00 New York time) is a key ICT reference level. It serves as a daily bias marker — price above the midnight open suggests bullish daily bias, below suggests bearish. The indicator tracks this level and draws it as a horizontal reference line across the chart. Many institutional algorithms reference this level for daily positioning decisions.
4. Session Dominance and Overlap Detection
The indicator tracks which session produces the largest range each day and identifies it as the "dominant" session. It also detects when sessions overlap (London/New York overlap is particularly significant as it produces the highest liquidity of the day). Overlap periods are highlighted because they often generate the most significant price moves.
5. Session Bias Signals
At the close of each session, the indicator evaluates the session's price action to determine bias:
If the session closed in its upper third with expanding range, bullish bias is assigned
If the session closed in its lower third with expanding range, bearish bias is assigned
Otherwise, neutral bias is assigned
These bias arrows appear at session boundaries to provide quick directional context for the next session.
6. Killzone Strength Scoring
Each killzone receives a strength score based on the session's range relative to the daily ATR, volume during the session, and whether the session produced a directional move or just chopped. Higher scores indicate more significant sessions that are more likely to set the tone for subsequent price action.

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the Active Session
The colored box tells you which session is currently active. Focus your trading during the session windows where you have the most experience and where your strategy performs best.
Step 2: Use Session Ranges as Context
The Asia session range often serves as the "initial balance" for the day. Watch for London to sweep one side of the Asia range (a liquidity grab) before establishing the daily direction. The New York session then either confirms or reverses the London move.
Step 3: Trade Deviation Projections
When price breaks out of a session box, the deviation projection lines provide measured-move targets. These are not guaranteed levels but represent statistically common extension distances based on the session's own range.
Step 4: Reference the Midnight Open
Use the NY Midnight Open as a daily bias filter. If price is above the midnight open, favor long setups. If below, favor short setups. This simple filter aligns your trading with the daily institutional bias.
Step 5: Prioritize Overlap Windows
The London/New York overlap (typically 0700-1000 NY time) produces the highest liquidity and often the day's most significant move. This is the highest-probability window for directional trades.

Indicator Limitations
Session times are fixed inputs based on typical institutional schedules. During daylight saving time transitions, session windows may need manual adjustment depending on your broker's timezone handling
Session structure analysis is most relevant for forex, futures, and indices that have distinct session-based liquidity patterns. Crypto markets trade 24/7 with less distinct session boundaries
Deviation projections are statistical tendencies, not guaranteed levels. Price may fall short of or exceed projected deviations
The NY Midnight Open is a reference level, not a support/resistance level with inherent strength. Its significance comes from institutional algorithm behavior, which may vary
Session dominance and bias signals are determined after the session closes, making them useful for context but not for real-time entries within that session
On higher timeframes (4H, Daily), individual session boxes may not render meaningfully as multiple sessions fit within a single candle
Originality Statement
This indicator is original in its comprehensive integration of ICT session concepts into a unified mapping system. While session boxes and killzone detection exist in other scripts, this indicator is justified because:
The deviation projection system uses the session's own range as a measuring stick, providing context-specific targets rather than generic ATR-based projections
Killzone strength scoring quantifies session significance using range, volume, and directional metrics — providing an objective measure not available in simple session box indicators
Session overlap detection with visual highlighting identifies the highest-liquidity windows automatically
The integration of NY Midnight Open, previous day levels, session bias, and dominance tracking into a single tool eliminates the need for multiple separate session indicators
Session bias arrows provide actionable directional context at session boundaries based on multi-factor analysis of the concluded session
The muted institutional color palette and clean box rendering avoid the visual clutter common in session-based indicators
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Session structures, deviation projections, and bias signals are based on historical patterns of institutional activity and do not guarantee future price behavior.
