Sessions ExtendedSessions Extended
Based on the original "Sessions" indicator by LuxAlgo, this script is a complete
rewrite and substantial expansion. It is built for traders who want control
over session visualization, deep volume analytics, and a live dashboard that works
on any chart timeframe from 1 minute up to 1 week.
=============================================================================
WHAT CHANGED COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL "SESSIONS" INDICATOR
=============================================================================
SESSIONS
Original: 4 fixed sessions (New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney)
Extended: 11 fully independent sessions labeled A through K, each with its own
complete settings group. The default setup covers the major forex windows:
Asia, London, New York, Sydney, Tokyo I, Hong Kong, Singapore I, Tokyo II,
Singapore II, EU pre-London, and US pre-NY.
PER-SESSION STYLING
Original: One shared background color and transparency, border always dotted,
no width control.
Extended: Per-session background color and transparency, fully independent of
the border color. Per-session border style (Dotted / Dashed / Solid) and border
width (1 to 4 pixels). Every session box can have a completely unique appearance.
SESSION LABELS
Original: One fixed label per session, always tiny, always at the session high.
Extended: Per-session label color and size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large / Huge).
A numeric "Name Offset" input shifts the label upward by a chosen number of
blank lines, keeping label height constant regardless of zoom level. An optional
second label shows the actual session open and close times in HH:mm format with
its own independent offset, color, and size.
OVERLAYS PER SESSION
Each of the 11 sessions independently supports seven overlay types:
Range Box — High/Low box drawn for each session occurrence
Trendline — Linear regression line (best-fit straight line through closes)
Std Band — Dashed lines at +1σ and -1σ around the regression line.
Works independently — Trendline does not need to be active.
Bars outside the bands indicate unusual price movement.
Mean — Cumulative average of all closing prices within the session,
drawn as a connected line. Equal weight per bar, no volume
influence. See "Understanding Mean vs VWAP" below.
VWAP — Volume-Weighted Average Price. Institutional benchmark.
See "Understanding Mean vs VWAP" below.
Max/Min — Short horizontal tick marks at session High and Low
Midpoint — Horizontal line at the 50% level of the session High/Low range
EXTENDED HIGH/LOW LINES
Each session can project its previous High and Low as horizontal lines extending
to the right of the chart — classic support and resistance reference levels.
Fully configurable per session:
- Line color (independent from the session border color)
- Line style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted
- Line width: 1 to 4 pixels
- Optional end-of-line label showing session name and date (dd.MM.yy)
- Label text color, background color, and background transparency
A global "Max Extended H/L Lines" setting (Range Settings group, default 10)
caps the total number of line pairs visible across all sessions combined.
DAYS BACK FILTER
Each session has a "Last N sessions" input. When set to 0 (default), all
available history is shown. When set to 1–50, only the N most recent occurrences
are drawn. The pruning applies consistently to boxes, labels, Max/Min lines,
Midpoint lines, Mean lines, VWAP plots, and Extended H/L lines.
TIMEZONE
A "Use Exchange Timezone" checkbox follows the exchange timezone automatically
(syminfo.timezone). When unchecked, a UTC Offset field (−12 to +14) enables
manual adjustment. This is particularly useful for handling Daylight Saving Time
transitions without needing to touch any session time strings.
=============================================================================
THE DASHBOARD — COMPLETE REFERENCE
=============================================================================
ENABLING AND POSITIONING
Find the Dashboard group in Settings. Toggle "Show Dashboard" to show or hide
the panel. Choose from four positions (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left,
Bottom Right) and four sizes (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).
DASHBOARD MODES
The dashboard has three display modes, selected via the "Volume & Sigma columns"
and "Show Buy/Sell Volume" toggles:
Standard mode (both off):
Session | Trend
Advanced mode (Volume & Sigma on):
Session | Volume | Sigma | Trend
Advanced + Buy/Sell mode (both on):
Session | Volume | Sigma | ▲Buy ▼Sell | Trend
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
Session
The session name (e.g. ASIA, LONDON, NEW YORK). The cell background
changes color to reflect the session state:
Active background color — session currently open
Inactive background color — session closed today (snapshot visible)
Dimmed border color — session not yet started today or yesterday data
Volume
Total traded volume for the session's measurement window. Updates live
while the session is open. Freezes as a snapshot when it closes.
Calculated at 1-minute resolution via request.security — accurate on
any chart timeframe.
Sigma (σ)
Standard deviation of closing prices within the session. Measures how
much price spread around its average. A high Sigma indicates a volatile,
wide-ranging session. A low Sigma indicates tight, consolidating price
action. Updates live, freezes on session close.
▲Buy ▼Sell (optional, "Show Buy/Sell Volume")
Volume split by bar direction. Up-bars (Close ≥ Open) count as buy volume,
down-bars count as sell. Note: this is an approximation — Pine Script
cannot access PulseWire's internal tick-level buy/sell data.
Open / High / Low (optional, "Show O/H/L + Change")
The session's opening price, highest traded price, and lowest traded price.
These are permanent historical facts and remain visible (dimmed) even after
the session closes and after the trading day resets.
Chg (optional, "Show O/H/L + Change")
The change from session Open to session Close: Close − Open.
Display format:
+1.234 green — session closed above its open (bullish)
-1.234 red — session closed below its open (bearish)
±0.000 grey — session closed exactly at its open (neutral)
The three colors (up, down, flat) are independently configurable.
Trend (r²)
The R-squared value of the linear regression for the session. Ranges from
−1.00 to +1.00. Positive values indicate an upward trend, negative values
a downward trend. Values near 0 indicate a sideways/choppy session.
The cell background is colored green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on
the sign, making trend direction scannable at a glance.
Timer (optional, "Show Timer column")
Countdown to the next relevant session event:
▼ HH:MM — session is currently open, counting down to close
▲ HH:MM — session is closed, counting up to next open
▲ Xd HH:MM — session opens in more than 24 hours (e.g. weekend gap)
The timer is updated in real time using timenow. It is visible at all
times, including when the market is closed. Weekend gaps are handled
correctly: sessions that open Monday morning show 2d+ on Friday evening,
while sessions still opening later on Friday show the same-day countdown.
The timer text is colored with the active session color when open, or
dimmed when the session is waiting to open.
DAY TOTAL ROW
When one or more sessions have "In Day Total" checked in their settings,
a Day Total row appears at the bottom of the dashboard. It shows:
- The sum of all Volume values from today's In-Day-Total sessions
- The average Sigma across those sessions
Critically , Day Total counts only sessions that have actually run since the
last anchor-session reset — not yesterday's data. If ASIA (the default anchor)
opened at 18:00 EST and New York has not yet run today, New York's data from
the previous day will appear in its row (dimmed) but will not be included in
Day Total.
YESTERDAY ROW
When all sessions have closed, a Yesterday row appears showing the prior
trading day's totals for comparison. This row disappears once the new
trading day begins.
STALE DATA — THREE BRIGHTNESS LEVELS
The dashboard uses text brightness to communicate data age at a glance:
Full brightness — session is currently active (live data)
Dimmed — session ran and closed today (today's snapshot)
More dimmed — session has data from the previous day (no run today yet)
Near-invisible — session has no data at all (never run or newly enabled)
The dim percentage is configurable ("Stale data text dim", 0–90%).
RESET LOGIC — HOW THE TRADING DAY IS DEFINED
The dashboard needs to know when a new trading day begins. This is controlled
by "Reset Stats when Session starts" in the Dashboard group (default: A = ASIA).
When the selected anchor session opens:
- All "ran today" tracking flags are cleared
- Day Total recalculates from zero
- Sessions not yet run show their previous data dimmed until they run again
Snapshot data inside each session's measurement function persists until the
session runs again and overwrites it. This means US pre-NY data from 08:30
yesterday is still visible in the dashboard at 04:00 today, correctly dimmed,
and correctly excluded from Day Total.
VOLUME MEASUREMENT WINDOW
Each session has a separate "Vol window" session input. By default this matches
the display session, but you can narrow it. For example, you could display the
full 18-hour ASIA box but only measure volume for the first two hours of
activity. The Vol window does not affect the displayed box or overlays —
it only affects Volume, Sigma, Buy/Sell, and Trend statistics.
DASHBOARD COLORS (configurable)
Active cell background — highlight color for currently open sessions
Inactive cell background — color for closed sessions with today's data
Text color — all non-highlighted cell text
Border color — table grid lines
Background — dashboard panel fill and transparency
Change Up / Down / Flat — three independent colors for the Chg column
Stale data dim % — how strongly to dim closed and yesterday data
=============================================================================
UNDERSTANDING MEAN vs VWAP
=============================================================================
Mean is the simple average of all closing prices within the session:
(Close₁ + Close₂ + ... + Closeₙ) / N
Every bar contributes equally regardless of how much was traded. Mean shows
the geometric center of price over time — a neutral, unweighted reference.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Σ(Close × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
Bars with high volume pull the VWAP toward them. Institutions use VWAP as
the primary benchmark for execution quality. A price above VWAP signals that
the session is running bullish on a volume-weighted basis; below is bearish.
The practical difference: when a sharp directional move occurs on thin volume,
Mean shifts significantly because it counts each bar equally. VWAP barely
reacts because little volume participated in the move. This divergence — Mean
far from VWAP — can itself be a signal that the move lacks conviction.
=============================================================================
DEFAULT SESSION CONFIGURATION (UTC-5 / New York EST)
=============================================================================
A ASIA 18:00 – 02:00 In Day Total, Anchor Reset (enabled)
B LONDON 02:00 – 08:00 In Day Total (enabled)
C NEW YORK 08:00 – 17:00 In Day Total (enabled)
D Sydney 18:00 – 00:00 (enabled)
E Tokyo I 19:00 – 21:30 (enabled)
F Hong Kong 20:30 – 03:00 (enabled)
G Singapore I 20:00 – 23:00 (enabled)
H Tokyo II 22:30 – 01:00 (enabled)
I Singapore II 06:00 – 10:00 (enabled)
J EU pre-Lon 02:00 – 03:00 (enabled)
K US pre-NY 08:00 – 09:30 (enabled)
All times are in UTC-5 (New York EST). Adjust the UTC Offset setting or enable
"Use Exchange Timezone" to match your local time.
Sessions H through K are disabled by default. Enable them in their respective
settings group. Note that newly enabled sessions will show no data until
they have run at least once after being activated.
=============================================================================
SETUP GUIDE — GETTING STARTED
=============================================================================
Step 1 — Timezone
Open Settings → Timezone. If your instrument uses the exchange timezone
natively, enable "Use Exchange Timezone". Otherwise set UTC Offset to your
local offset (e.g. -5 for New York EST, +1 for Berlin CET). If your region
uses DST and PulseWire does not adjust automatically, update this offset
manually at DST transitions.
Step 2 — Sessions
Sessions A (ASIA), B (LONDON), and C (NEW YORK) are enabled by default with
commonly used forex hours. Adjust the session time strings to match your
instrument's actual active hours. Enable additional sessions (D through K) as
needed from their settings groups.
Step 3 — Dashboard
Open Settings → Dashboard. Enable "Show Dashboard". Choose your preferred
position and size. Enable "Volume & Sigma columns" for full statistics.
Enable "Show Timer column" to see live countdowns. Configure which sessions
should contribute to Day Total via the "In Day Total" checkbox in each
session's group.
Step 4 — Overlays
For each session you want to analyze deeply, enable the overlays relevant
to your strategy. Recommended starting set: Range Box (always on), VWAP for
institutional context, Mean for a price-weighted counterpart, Std Band for
volatility context.
Step 5 — Extended H/L Lines
Enable "Ext H/L" in any session group to project that session's previous
High and Low forward as S/R references. Set "Max Extended H/L Lines" in
Range Settings to a comfortable number (default: 10 pairs total).
Step 6 — Days Back
If your chart history is long and performance is slow, set "Last N sessions"
in each session group to limit how many occurrences are drawn (e.g. 5 to 20).
=============================================================================
ALERTS
=============================================================================
22 alert conditions are available — one "Session Start" and one "Session End"
for each of the 11 sessions. Alerts fire only when the corresponding session's
"Show" toggle is enabled. Set alerts via the Add Alert dialog in PulseWire,
selecting this indicator from the condition dropdown.
=============================================================================
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN BEHAVIOR
=============================================================================
Buy/Sell volume approximation
Up-bar (Close ≥ Open) = Buy volume. Down-bar = Sell volume. True tick-level
data is not accessible in Pine Script. Treat this column as directional
sentiment, not precise order flow.
Initial load time
11 request.security calls at 1-minute resolution cause a delay when first
applying the indicator to a chart with long history. This is a Pine Script
constraint — the 1m resolution is required for accuracy on higher timeframes.
request.security usage
This script uses 12 of Pine Script's 40 allowed request.security calls
(11 session functions + 1 anchor-reset detector), leaving 28 available
if you build on top of this script.
Short sessions on high timeframes
Sessions shorter than the chart's bar duration (e.g. a 30-minute session on
a 4H chart) may not be detected. Use a lower timeframe for short sessions.
Timer and market holidays
The countdown timer uses calendar arithmetic, not an exchange trading calendar.
On public holidays the timer will count down to the session time as if it
were a normal trading day. Weekend detection (Friday evening, Saturday) is
handled correctly for standard Mon–Fri market hours.
Dashboard layout
Table positions are limited to the four corners as defined by Pine Script's
table API. Sub-corner pixel positioning is not supported.

Indicator
ICT Session Zones & Sweep Signals [WillyAlgoTrader]🎯 ICT Session Zones & Sweep Signals is an overlay indicator that maps the full ICT session framework onto your chart: five configurable killzone boxes with adaptive high/low pivots, confirmed liquidity sweep signals scored by ATR-normalized wick depth, session VWAP lines, Asian session bias engine, D/W/M open and previous high/low levels, custom opening price lines, vertical timestamps, and a day-of-week label system. Everything is timezone-aware, timeframe-gated, and designed for 1m–15m intraday charts.
🏗️ Most session indicators on PulseWire draw static time boxes and stop there. This indicator builds a complete ICT session analysis environment: it tracks killzone ranges in real time, extends session pivots beyond the killzone until price sweeps them, detects and confirms the sweep with multiple filters (ATR depth, body confirmation, cooldown), scores each sweep's strength, calculates session VWAP inside each killzone for fair value reference, tracks Asian session bias, and overlays D/W/M structural levels — all in one tool with a unified dashboard.
🔍 WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
1️⃣ Confirmed liquidity sweep detection with strength scoring. The core signal engine detects when price wicks beyond a session high or low and closes back inside — the classic ICT liquidity grab pattern. Every sweep must pass four filters before becoming a signal:
— 📏 ATR depth filter : the wick beyond the pivot must exceed a configurable ATR multiple (default 0.1×) — filtering out insignificant touches
— 🕯️ Body confirmation : close must be beyond the candle body midpoint in the rejection direction (bullish sweep: close in upper half; bearish: close in lower half) — confirming genuine rejection, not just a wick
— ⏱️ Cooldown filter : minimum bars between sweeps from the same session (default 3) — preventing rapid-fire signals from the same pivot
— ✅ Bar-close confirmation : all sweeps require barstate.isconfirmed — no intrabar repainting
Each confirmed sweep receives a strength score based on wick depth as an ATR multiple: Strong (≥ 0.5× ATR), Medium (≥ 0.2×), or Weak (< 0.2×). The score and strength appear in the label tooltip and on the dashboard.
2️⃣ Intelligent pivot lifecycle management. Session high/low lines are not static — they follow a lifecycle:
— 🟢 Created at session start with the first bar's high/low
— 📈 Updated during the session as new highs/lows form
— ➡️ Extended beyond the session until swept or invalidated
— 🎯 Swept: wick beyond + close back inside → sweep signal fires
— ❌ Invalidated: only when price closes decisively beyond the level (not just a wick touch) — preventing premature pivot death from intrabar noise
— 🔄 Mode option: "Until Swept" (pivot disappears after sweep) or "Always" (pivots extend indefinitely for historical reference)
3️⃣ Session VWAP (volume-weighted average price per killzone). Unlike the simple midpoint between session high and low, the session VWAP accumulates close × volume inside each killzone, providing the true volume-weighted fair value for that session. The VWAP line extends beyond the session end, serving as a more accurate equilibrium reference than the midpoint. This is especially useful on instruments with uneven volume distribution within a session.
4️⃣ Asian session bias engine. The dashboard continuously shows the Asian bias state: Bullish (price above Asia high), Bearish (price below Asia low), or Neutral (inside range). This directly implements the ICT concept that the Asian range sets the liquidity pool for London and NY sessions — if price is above Asia high, London/NY are expected to seek downside liquidity, and vice versa.
5️⃣ Five fully customizable killzones. Each killzone has independently configurable:
— Session name, time window, and color
— High/Low pivot label text (e.g., "AS.H" / "AS.L")
— Enable/disable toggle
Default zones cover the standard ICT framework: Asia (20:00–00:00), London (02:00–05:00), NY AM (09:30–11:00), NY Lunch (12:00–13:00), NY PM (13:30–16:00). All times follow the selected timezone. You can modify any zone to match your specific session definitions.
6️⃣ D/W/M structural levels with break alerts. The indicator tracks and draws:
— 📅 Daily / Weekly / Monthly opening price lines
— 📊 Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), Previous Week High/Low (PWH/PWL), Previous Month High/Low (PMH/PML)
— 📍 Vertical day/week/month separators
Each level extends across the chart with configurable style and width. Break alerts fire when price closes above PDH, below PDL, above PWH, below PWL, above PMH, or below PML — six structure-level alerts in addition to sweep alerts.
7️⃣ Custom opening price lines and vertical timestamps. Four configurable opening price slots let you mark any specific time's opening price (e.g., True Day Open at 00:00, 06:00 open, 10:00 open, 14:00 open). Four vertical timestamp slots add time-of-day vertical lines (e.g., 08:00 London open, 10:00 macro time, etc.). All follow the selected timezone and are trimmed by session history.
8️⃣ Killzone range comparison table. An optional range table shows each killzone's current range (high − low) alongside its N-session average range. This helps you identify when a session is extended beyond its typical range (potential exhaustion) or still compressed (potential expansion ahead).
9️⃣ Comprehensive dashboard. The info panel shows:
— 🔵 Active session name (with overlap count when multiple sessions are active simultaneously)
— 📊 Asian session bias (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
— 🎯 Last sweep type, session, and strength with ATR score
— 📈 Total sweep counts (bullish / bearish)
— ⏱️ Current timeframe and symbol
— 🏷️ Indicator version
🔟 Full timezone support with 35+ timezone options. All session calculations use a single timezone setting. Options include named timezones (America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo, etc.) and GMT offsets (GMT-12 through GMT+12). This ensures killzone boxes, pivot times, opening prices, and timestamps all align correctly regardless of your broker's server time.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
🏗️ Killzone box creation:
On each bar, the indicator checks whether the current time falls inside each enabled killzone using the configured session string and timezone. When a session starts (current bar inside, previous bar outside), a new box is created with the bar's high/low. During the session, the box expands to encompass the full range. Pivot lines (high/low) are created at session start and updated as new extremes form. Session VWAP accumulates close × volume and updates on each bar.
🎯 Sweep detection:
After a session ends, the pivot lines continue extending on each bar. On every confirmed bar, the indicator checks: does the wick exceed the pivot level? If yes, it evaluates four conditions: ATR depth threshold met, close back inside the level, body confirmation (close in correct half of candle), and cooldown since last sweep from this session. Only if all four pass does the sweep signal fire. The pivot is invalidated (stops extending) only when price closes decisively through the level — not on a wick touch alone.
📊 Sweep strength:
Wick depth beyond the pivot is divided by ATR(14) to produce a dimensionless score. Strong ≥ 0.5×, Medium ≥ 0.2×, Weak < 0.2×. The score appears in the signal tooltip and on the dashboard, helping you prioritize higher-quality sweeps.
📏 Session VWAP:
Inside each killzone, the indicator accumulates sum(close × volume) and sum(volume). VWAP = numerator / denominator. The line updates on each bar during the session and extends beyond session end as a reference level. Volume is floored at 1.0 to handle instruments with zero reported volume.
🔄 Asian bias:
The dashboard reads the Asia session's most recent high and low pivot levels. If the current close is above Asia high → Bullish. Below Asia low → Bearish. Inside the range → Neutral. This updates in real time.
📅 DWM levels:
On each D/W/M timeframe change, the indicator stores the previous period's high and low, then draws horizontal lines at those levels. Lines extend forward on each bar. Break detection fires alerts when price closes above the high or below the low for the first time since the period change.
📖 HOW TO USE
🎯 Recommended setup:
— ⏱️ Timeframe: 1m–15m — the indicator auto-hides on timeframes ≥ the TF Limit setting (default 30m). Session zones and sweeps are most meaningful on intraday charts.
— 🌐 Timezone : set to your exchange or broker timezone for accurate killzone alignment. For ICT concepts, America/New_York (EST/EDT) is the standard reference.
— 📦 Session History (default 3): controls how many past sessions' boxes and pivot lines remain on chart. Increase for more context, decrease for cleaner charts.
👁️ Reading the chart:
— 📦 Colored boxes = killzone time windows (Asia blue, London red, NY AM green, NY Lunch yellow, NY PM purple)
— ─── Horizontal lines extending from boxes = session high/low pivots (active until swept or invalidated)
— ··· Dotted lines = session midpoints and/or VWAP
— 🟢 ▲ label below candle = confirmed bullish sweep (wick below session low + close back above)
— 🔴 ▼ label above candle = confirmed bearish sweep (wick above session high + close back below)
— Hover over sweep labels for tooltip: session name, strength, ATR score, price
🔁 ICT workflow with this indicator:
1. 🌏 Check Asian session range — note the high and low pivots
2. 📊 Read the dashboard — Asian Bias tells you the directional lean
3. 🇬🇧 During London killzone — watch for sweeps of Asian high/low pivots
4. 🇺🇸 During NY AM — watch for sweeps of London or Asian pivots
5. 🎯 When a sweep fires — check strength (Strong > Medium > Weak) and confluence with DWM levels
6. 📍 Use PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL as additional confluence — sweep + DWM level break = highest conviction
7. 🕐 NY Lunch — lower probability zone, expect consolidation
8. 🔄 NY PM — potential continuation or reversal of AM move, watch for PM pivot sweeps
🔧 Tuning sweep sensitivity:
— 🎚️ Min Sweep Depth 0.0 : any wick beyond the pivot counts (most signals, more noise)
— 🎚️ Min Sweep Depth 0.1 (default): requires 10% of ATR beyond pivot (balanced)
— 🎚️ Min Sweep Depth 0.2–0.3 : only significant wicks qualify (fewer but stronger signals)
— 🔄 Cooldown 0 : no restriction (same pivot can trigger multiple sweeps)
— 🔄 Cooldown 3 (default): minimum 3 bars between sweeps from the same session
— 🕯️ Body Confirmation On (default): filters weak wicks — recommended to keep enabled

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
— ⏱️ Designed for intraday timeframes (1m–15m). The indicator auto-hides on timeframes at or above the TF Limit setting. Session zones and sweeps lose their meaning on higher timeframes.
— 🚫 No repainting. All sweep signals and DWM break alerts require barstate.isconfirmed. Pivot invalidation also occurs only on confirmed bar close, not intrabar.
— 🌐 Timezone accuracy is critical. If your killzone boxes don't align with the expected session times, verify that the Timezone setting matches your exchange or broker timezone. For standard ICT analysis, use America/New_York.
— 📊 Sweep signals indicate liquidity grabs — they show where stop-losses were likely triggered. They are not standalone entry signals. Combine with order flow, FVGs, order blocks, or other ICT concepts for complete trade setups.
— 🔄 Session VWAP requires volume data. On instruments with no reported volume (some forex pairs), the VWAP line defaults to close-based calculation.
— 📏 The range table's average is calculated from the last N completed sessions (configurable, default 5). It takes several sessions to build a meaningful average.
— 🎯 Sweep strength is relative — "Strong" on a low-volatility instrument may represent a smaller absolute move than "Weak" on a high-volatility one. The ATR normalization makes strength comparable across timeframes but not across instruments with very different ATR profiles.
— 🛠️ This is an analysis and signal tool , not an automated trading system. It visualizes ICT session concepts and detects liquidity sweeps — trade decisions remain yours. Indicator

Hide Non-Trading Sessions Smart LineEnglish / Английский
Title: Smart Line Gap (Hide Non-Trading Sessions)
Description:
This indicator is designed for traders who need a clean visual environment, especially when working with different market sessions (like MOEX-Forex arbitrage). It solves the common issue of "cluttered" line charts during non-trading hours.
Standard PulseWire line charts connect the previous day's close to the current day's open with a long diagonal line. This script uses style_linebr logic to physically break the line during weekends and off-hours, ensuring no "ghost" connections are drawn.
Key Features:
Weekend Hiding: Automatically hides Saturday and Sunday data.
Custom Session Gaps: Define any time range (e.g., overnight gaps or maintenance breaks) to stop the line from rendering.
No Connection Lines: The chart creates a clean break instead of drawing a straight line through inactive periods.
Timezone Support: Easily sync with your local exchange time (e.g., UTC+3 for Moscow or UTC+0 for GMT).
Usage Tip: For the best experience, hide the default price chart in the "Symbol" settings (make it transparent) to leave only the "smart" line visible.
Russian / Русский
Название: Smart Line Gap (Hide Non-Trading Sessions)
Описание:
Этот индикатор разработан специально для трейдеров, торгующих на стыке сессий (например, MOEX и Forex), где важно видеть только активные торговые часы без визуального шума.
В отличие от стандартного линейного графика PulseWire, который соединяет последнюю цену закрытия вчерашнего дня с открытием сегодняшнего длинной косой линией, этот скрипт использует логику style_linebr. Это позволяет физически прерывать линию в нерабочие часы и выходные.
Основные возможности:
Скрытие выходных: Автоматически убирает субботу и воскресенье.
Кастомные сессии: Вы можете задать любой диапазон (например, ночной клиринг или паузы), чтобы линия в это время не рисовалась.
Отсутствие соединительных линий: В нерабочие периоды график просто прерывается, не создавая ложных визуальных трендов.
Настройка часового пояса: Удобно для синхронизации графиков разных бирж.
Как использовать: Скройте основной график в настройках символа (сделайте его прозрачным), чтобы видеть только «чистую» линию индикатора. Indicator

NOTES
Of course I could add more functionality, but my main goal was to keep the indicator as small and simple as possible, while providing functionality which it was built for.
Since the functionality is limited, I will keep this indicator open-source so everybody can edit and customize it to his own liking.

First presented ineficiency indicator - 10 sessions📊 Enhanced FVG Indicator with Multi-Session Support
Overview
The Enhanced FVG (Fair Value Gap) Indicator is a professional-grade tool designed for traders who want to identify and track Fair Value Gaps across multiple trading sessions. This indicator combines advanced FVG detection with smart extension modes, customizable alerts, and automatic instrument calibration.
🎯 What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap occurs when there's a price imbalance in the market, creating a "gap" that the price often revisits. This happens when:
Bullish FVG: The high of candle 2 bars ago is below the low of the current candle
Bearish FVG: The low of candle 2 bars ago is above the high of the current candle
FVGs are powerful supply and demand zones that smart money traders use to identify potential reversal or continuation points.

Sakalau02 Weekly Daily SessionsSakalau02: Weekly Daily Sessions – The Architecture of the Trading Week
The "Sakalau02 Weekly Daily Sessions" is a high-definition visual mapping tool designed to dissect the trading week into distinct daily blocks. More than just a period separator, this script defines the "field of play" for each day, allowing you to visualize where liquidity builds and how price interacts with temporal boundaries.
Here is why this script is the cornerstone of a professional Top-Down analysis:
📅 High-Definition Daily Structure
The indicator transforms your chart into a logical map of the week, providing visual support for all 7 days, with a focus on active trading from Monday to Friday.
Visual Identity: Each day is assigned its own unique color, helping you instantly recognize repetitive market signatures (like the "Tuesday Reversal" or "Mid-week Expansion").
Timezone Precision: Featuring a dedicated Timezone Input, the script ensures that daily boxes open exactly at 00:00 according to your chosen financial hub (UTC, New York, London, etc.).
📐 Range and Liquidity Analysis
Through its Dynamic Box System, the script monitors price evolution in real-time:
High/Low Tracking: Automatically expands the box boundaries as price carves out new daily highs or lows.
The 0.5 Level (Daily Equilibrium): Automatically calculates the midpoint of the entire day. This is the critical "Fair Value" zone where price decides whether to trend or mean-revert.
Open/Close Trajectory: A discreet line tracks price relative to the daily open, providing an instant read on the intraday bias (Bullish/Bearish).
⚡ Precision Alert System
Never miss a structural shift. The indicator comes equipped with built-in alerts for:
Session Starts: Be notified the moment a new daily cycle begins.
Liquidity Sweeps (New High/Low): Receive alerts the second price breaches the current day’s high or low—perfect for executing Judas Swings or Expansion setups.
💎 Versatile Display Modes
Boxes Mode: Encapsulates price for a clear view of market structure.
Zones Mode: Highlights the background for a cleaner integration with secondary indicators.
Timeline Mode: Marks the base of the chart, keeping the price action area completely untouched.
Piața nu este doar preț, este ritm. În timp ce alții se pierd în zgomotul fiecărei secunde, eu definesc limitele zilei. O structură creată pentru traderul care știe că volumul urmează timpul, iar profitul urmează disciplina — păstrați ochii pe echilibrul zilei!" — Semnat, Andrei (Sakalau02) ⏳ Indicator

Peak Trading Activity Graphs [LuxAlgo]The Peak Trading Activity Graphs displays four graphs that allow traders to see at a glance the times of the highest and lowest volume and volatility for any month, day of the month, day of the week, or hour of the day. By default, it plots the median values of the selected data for each period. Traders can enable the Median Delta feature to further highlight differences in the data. The graphs are customizable in width and height and feature gradient colors by default.
🔶 USAGE
The tool is simple yet powerful. Using the three main parameters on the settings panel, traders can display up to four different graphs and up to 16 different configurations.
There are two main types of data: volume and volatility. There are also four different time periods: months, days of the month, days of the week, and hours of the day. There is also the possibility of displaying the raw medians or the delta between them.
Understanding which time periods have the most and least volume and volatility is essential for any trader. From avoiding trading during periods of low volume to properly sizing positions during periods of high volatility, there are multiple use cases directly related to improving execution and risk management.
🔹 Months
This chart shows the monthly volume and volatility of NQ as medians at the top and as the delta of medians at the bottom.
As we can see on the left-hand chart, the volume is fairly consistent throughout the year. January, March, and October have the highest volume, and December has the lowest volume for obvious reasons. Note the bottom chart with the delta feature enabled, which clearly shows the top and bottom periods.
On the right, we have volatility, which is also evenly distributed throughout most months. October is the most volatile month, and March is the least volatile month. The differences are also very clear on the bottom chart with delta enabled.
Traders may want to compare median volatility and volume by month to size positions and favor exposure during historically high-activity months.
🔹 Days of Month
The same NQ charts are shown, but in this case, the Days of Month period has been selected. As you can see, this displays a calendar-like graph. The volume is on the left, the volatility is on the right, and the delta feature is enabled on the bottom charts. This feature allows for stronger differences in gradient.
The top charts show that the raw medians of both volume and volatility are evenly distributed. We need to enable the delta feature on the bottom charts to see where the most and least volume and volatility are.
Traders can use median activity by calendar day to anticipate liquidity expansions or contractions and adjust trade frequency.
🔹 Days of Week
In this case, we have BTC charts with the same layout as before. Notably, the difference in volume on weekends is not as pronounced from a volatility perspective on those same days.
A practical use case can be differentiate high-risk, high-participation weekdays from low-activity sessions to select trend or range-based strategies.
🔹 Hours of Day
This shows the volume and volatility of each hour of the day for gold futures. As we can see, the most volume and volatility occur during the three hours around the RTH open at 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00 a.m.
Traders may want to isolate hours with the highest median volatility and volume to concentrate execution and avoid low-liquidity periods.
🔹 Assets Comparison
This tool allows us to compare different assets over the same period. In this case, we are comparing the hours of the day for 10-year notes, the S&P 500, silver, and the yen. Each asset has a different volatility profile throughout the day.
With the Delta feature enabled, we can clearly see the differences. The 10Y Notes move from 7:00 to 9:00 and from 2:00 to 9:00. The Yen moves from 7:00 to 9:00 and from 2:00 to 9:00. Silver moves from 8:00 to 10:00. The S&P 500 moves from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 14:00 to 15:00. All times are in exchange time.
🔹 Sizing & Coloring Graphs
Traders can adjust the width and height of the graphs, as well as the text size, at will.
Traders can choose from four different color configurations in the settings panel.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data: Select the type of data to display: Volume or Volatility.
Period: Select the time period to display: Month, Day of Month, Day of Week, or Hours.
Display delta between medians. Display the difference between the medians as a percentage. The smaller median is 0 and the larger median is 100. Enabling this feature highlights the differences between values.
