Session Sentinel [JOAT]A round-the-clock session watchtower — Asia, London and New York, each tracked live with its own range, rails and color.
◆ WHAT IT IS
Where price sits relative to the session ranges is core context for intraday trading — Asia builds the range, London and New York tend to expand it. Session Sentinel tracks all three sessions simultaneously, each with a live box, high/low rails and midline, in its own signature color. It is a pure context tool and prints no buy/sell signals.
This is 100% original code, written from scratch. It does not copy any other session script.
◆ HOW IT WORKS
1. Three independent watches. Each session (Asia, London, New York) has its own fully adjustable window and a shared timezone selector. As a session runs, the tool records its running high and low into a live box and draws:
• Session high/low rails — the levels other traders watch
• A midline — the session's equilibrium
• A name tag on the box
2. Session lifecycle. When a session ends, its box is finalized and archived. Only a configurable number of recent sessions are kept per watch, so history stays readable across all timeframes.
3. Day-open reference. A neutral daily open line provides a permanent intraday reference — price above or below the day's open is a simple, powerful bias filter.
◆ WHAT YOU SEE
• Live, color-coded session boxes — Asia, London, New York — with high/low rails and midlines
• A daily open reference line
• A resizable dashboard showing which watch is on duty, each session's high/low and range size, live/closed status, and the day open with price's distance above or below it
◆ HOW TO USE IT
• Use the Asia range as the reference other sessions break out of; London and New York frequently sweep or expand it.
• Session high/low rails act as intraday support/resistance and as breakout levels.
• The day open is a clean bias line — trading above or below it frames your directional lean.
• Adjust each session window to your instrument and exchange. Designed for intraday timeframes .
◆ NOTES & LIMITATIONS
Sessions are evaluated in the timezone you select — set it to match your market. On daily and higher timeframes the intraday session concept does not apply. This is a context tool, not financial advice; session levels are references, not predictions. Combine with your own method and risk management.

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.
DISCLAIMER
This tool Sessions - New York, London & Asia is for educational charting and visual analysis only. Markets involve risk. Past behavior on a chart does not guarantee future results. Always validate any idea on your own charts and risk parameters. Indicator
Wolf Key Levels Alerts/SessionsDraws the handful of levels that actually matter for intraday trading and makes them alertable, with session context handled automatically across timezones.
Key ranges — each with its own toggle and color:
Previous Day High / Low (PDH / PDL)
Monday High / Low — the weekly opening range, extended in real time while Monday trades, final from Tuesday
Previous Week High / Low (PWH / PWL)
Previous Month High / Low (PMH / PML)
Levels are drawn as clean horizontal lines with labels that merge automatically when two levels sit at the same price (e.g., "Prev Day High / Prev Week Low"). A global shorthand toggle switches all labels to compact codes (PDH, MDAY-H, …).
FX sessions as faded boxes — London, New York, and Tokyo sessions are shaded as borderless, near-transparent high/low boxes that grow bar by bar while the session runs. The last 21 sessions are kept per market (configurable), giving instant visual history of where each session's range sat.
Timezone handling that never needs adjusting — session hours are defined once, in each market's home clock (Europe/London, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo) and evaluated there. DST is applied per market by the IANA timezone rules, including the weeks when US and EU switch dates diverge and Tokyo's lack of DST. A small on-chart table converts today's session hours into a display timezone of your choice (default Europe/Bucharest), recalculated daily so it's always exact.
Alerts — five conditions, built for set-and-forget:
Any Visible Range Cross — fires when price crosses the high or low of any range whose checkbox is enabled
Daily / Monday / Weekly / Monthly Range Cross — per-range crosses (high or low)
Crosses are detected in either direction. Monday-range alerts are deliberately suppressed while Monday itself is still trading — the range is only final at Monday's close, so its alerts arm from Tuesday. Levels roll over automatically each day/week/month, so a single alert keeps working indefinitely without recreation.
Settings overview
Ranges: per-range checkbox + color
FX Sessions: per-session checkbox + color, session hours (home clock), box history & fade, display timezone, session-times table toggle
Display: standard or right-anchored layout, label merging, text size, line width/style, global shorthand, global coloring Indicator
Custom Sessions [AtomicPips]Overview
Custom Sessions is a flexible session-range visualization tool that lets you map up to eight fully independent trading sessions directly onto your chart. Each session draws its own range, body, and reference lines so you can study how price behaves during specific market windows such as London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney — or any custom time block you define.
Key Features
- 8 independent sessions — each with its own name, session time, and color. Sessions A–D are enabled by default (New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney); E–H are free slots for custom windows.
- Range box — plots the full high-to-low range of each session as a shaded zone with an optional dotted outline.
- Session body — an inner box spanning the open-to-close range, helping you distinguish the directional core of the session from its extremes (wicks).
- Open & Close lines — optional horizontal markers for each session's opening and closing price.
- Adaptive background — when enabled, each session is colored bullish or bearish based on whether price closed above or below the session open, instead of using the fixed session color.
- Timezone control — choose a manual UTC offset or follow the chart's exchange timezone, so sessions stay accurate across instruments.
- Historical sessions — display previous days' sessions (configurable days back) or keep the chart focused on the current day only.
- Status dashboard — an on-chart table showing which sessions are currently active or inactive.
- Session & daily dividers — optional vertical markers for session boundaries and day-of-week separators.
How It Works
For every enabled session, the script tracks the session window using PulseWire's session-time logic in your selected timezone. When a session opens, it records the opening price and begins tracking the running high and low. As each bar develops, the range box and body box are updated in real time to reflect the evolving high, low, and close. When the session ends, the range is finalized and (optionally) a close line is drawn at the session's last price.
Each session's drawings are stored and managed individually, and older sessions are automatically cleaned up based on your history setting to keep the chart efficient and uncluttered.
Settings
- Session A–H — toggle, name, session time, color, and per-session Range / Open Line / Close Line options.
- Timezone — manual UTC offset or exchange timezone.
- History — show historical sessions and number of days back.
- Ranges Settings — wick/body transparency, body toggle, outline toggle, label toggle, and adaptive background colors.
- Dashboard — show/hide, location, and text size.
- Dividers — session dividers and daily dividers.
How to Use
Add the indicator to any intraday timeframe. Configure each session's time to match the market windows you trade, and set your timezone so the boxes align correctly. Use the range box to identify session highs and lows that often act as intraday support/resistance, and use the body and open/close lines to gauge directional bias within each window. The adaptive background option provides a quick visual read of whether a session closed bullish or bearish.
Notes
This indicator is a visualization and study tool. It does not generate buy or sell signals and makes no claim about future performance. Always combine it with your own analysis and risk management.

Meridian Session Cartography [JOAT]Meridian Session Cartography
Introduction
Meridian Session Cartography is an open-source session-structure overlay designed to map intraday market geography through Asia, London, New York, and one fully custom session. The indicator tracks each session's developing high, low, open, midpoint, previous-day references, and confirmed liquidity sweeps, then organizes those references into a clean institutional chart layout.
The problem Meridian solves is session context. Many intraday decisions fail not because the setup is invalid, but because the trader is reading a local move without understanding which session created the range, where the day is trading relative to prior-day references, and whether liquidity has already been swept. Meridian turns that information into a persistent map.
Core Concepts
1. Timezone-Safe Session Tracking
Each session is evaluated through explicit session windows and a user-selected timezone, allowing the script to adapt to regional workflows without hard-coding exchange assumptions.
f_inSession(string sess, string tz) =>
not na(time(timeframe.period, sess, tz))
2. Session Range Construction
Every active session continuously updates its high, low, midpoint, and opening price. These references remain actionable because they are tied to actual session development instead of static preset levels.
3. Previous-Day Reference Logic
Previous-day high, low, open, and close are requested from the daily context using non-lookahead calls. These levels frame the broader day structure around which the active session range is operating.
4. Confirmed Sweep Detection
The indicator identifies confirmed buy-side and sell-side sweeps around tracked extremes, helping the user recognize when a session has already consumed nearby liquidity.
5. Managed Object Layout
Boxes, lines, and labels are retained through capped arrays and automatically cleaned to avoid chart clutter and object-budget drift.
Features
Four configurable session blocks: Asia, London, New York, and one custom session
Range geometry: High, low, midpoint, and opening references for each session
Previous-day levels: Prior day high, low, open, and close included in the same framework
Confirmed sweep logic: Liquidity sweep status updates only after bar confirmation
Reference-level extension: Session levels can project forward for practical intraday use
Chart-cleaning controls: Managed limits for labels, boxes, and lines
Top-right dashboard: Active session, day range, sweep status, and nearest level are summarized continuously
Input Parameters

Bull and bear colors
Range fill color
Levels and Display:
Show Previous Day Levels

Dashboard position and size
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the active session
Use the dashboard to confirm which session currently governs price. This gives immediate context for interpreting local range behavior.
Step 2: Compare the active session to the day
Check the relationship between the active session range and previous-day high/low. This helps distinguish local noise from meaningful day-level expansion.
Step 3: Monitor midpoint and open behavior
Session midpoints and opens often act as practical mean-reversion or continuation checkpoints during intraday trading.
Step 4: Watch sweep status before fading or chasing
If the session has already swept one side of liquidity, that changes the quality of any breakout or reversal idea built near the same reference.
Indicator Limitations
Session-based indicators are highly sensitive to the chosen timezone and should be configured intentionally
Sweep detection confirms after the bar closes, which is deliberate non-repainting behavior
Very low-liquidity markets can produce irregular session geometry
The script maps context and liquidity behavior; it does not generate full trade plans by itself
Originality Statement
Meridian Session Cartography is original in the way it combines timezone-safe multi-session mapping, previous-day references, midpoint and open logic, confirmed sweep detection, and managed chart-object cleanup into one publication-ready intraday overlay. It is not a simple session shading script or a basic high/low plotter.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Session levels and sweep readings are contextual tools and can fail in volatile or atypical conditions. Trading involves risk, including the risk of loss.

Session Range Architecture [JOAT]Session Range Architecture
Introduction
Session Range Architecture (SRA) is an open-source, institutional-grade session killzone engine that captures the opening range of the Tokyo, London, and New York trading sessions as live price-tracking boxes, draws high, low, and mid extension lines that persist after each session closes, and fires rejection signals when price wicks beyond a session extreme and closes back inside. Signals are filtered by an EMA alignment stack (EMA 4, EMA 5, and EMA 750) and confirmed exclusively on closed bars. ATR-based stop loss and take profit boxes visualize each signal's risk/reward from entry. Per-session and aggregate win rate statistics are tracked and displayed in a configurable dashboard.
The core problem SRA solves is the repetitive, daily manual work of marking opening range boxes for each session. ICT methodology identifies the first portion of each killzone as the period during which institutional order flow establishes the session's directional bias — the high and low of that range become the primary intraday reference levels. When price returns to those levels later in the session or in the following session and creates a wick rejection, it signals a potential liquidity grab and reversal opportunity. SRA automates the full process from box construction through signal detection to trade outcome tracking.
Core Concepts
1. Session Opening Range Construction
Each session's opening range is built dynamically during the configurable range window (default: first 15 minutes of each session). The high and low of every bar within that window expand the range in real time. At the end of the window, the range is finalized and stored as a SessionRange user-defined type containing the box, three extension lines (high, low, mid), and the session label:
if inTokyo and not tokBuilding
tokHi := high
tokLo := low
tokOpenBar := bar_index
tokBuilding := true
else if inTokyo and tokBuilding
tokHi := math.max(tokHi, high)
tokLo := math.min(tokLo, low)
2. Extension Lines
When a session's range window closes, three horizontal lines are drawn extending rightward from the range: a dashed line at the session high (buy-side liquidity), a dashed line at the session low (sell-side liquidity), and a dotted line at the session midpoint (50% equilibrium reference). These lines persist on the chart as long-term structural reference levels beyond the session itself.
3. Rejection Signal Detection
A rejection is detected when a bar's wick pierces a session high or low and the close returns inside the range. A minimum wick percentage filter ensures the penetration is meaningful relative to total candle range — trivial pokes are excluded. For a bullish rejection at a session low (price swept below, closed above), the setup is treated as a potential long opportunity. For a bearish rejection at a session high, it is treated as a short opportunity.
4. EMA Alignment Filter
Signals are optionally filtered by a simplified EMA alignment check: bullish signals require EMA 4 above EMA 5 and price above EMA 750; bearish signals require EMA 4 below EMA 5 and price below EMA 750. This ensures rejection signals at session levels are taken in the direction of the prevailing trend structure rather than against it.
5. ATR-Based Trade Visualization and Tracking
On each confirmed signal, ATR-based stop loss and take profit boxes are drawn from the entry close. Outcome is checked on subsequent bars — if price hits the SL or TP, the trade is recorded, counters for the originating session are updated, and the box color changes to reflect the result.
Features
Three Independent Session Ranges: Tokyo, London, and New York opening ranges built automatically each day — individually configurable with independent colors and visibility toggles
Configurable Range Window: Opening range capture window length adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes to match different analysis styles
Extension Lines: Session high, low, and mid extension lines drawn from completed ranges and extended rightward as persistent liquidity reference levels
Rejection Signal Detection: Wick-beyond, close-inside detection at session extremes with minimum wick percentage filter
EMA Alignment Filter: EMA 4/5 cross direction and EMA 750 price side required for signal confirmation — configurable on/off
ATR TP/SL Visualization: Risk and reward boxes from each entry bar — default 1.5× ATR stop, 3:1 reward ratio, fully adjustable
Session Win Rate Tracking: Independent win/loss/total counters for Tokyo, London, and New York sessions
Session History Management: Oldest range boxes automatically trimmed to prevent chart clutter (configurable maximum)
Non-Repainting: All signals gated on barstate.isconfirmed — session ranges never move backward
Timezone Configuration: Session windows evaluated relative to a configurable timezone to handle exchange-specific session times
Dashboard (Top Right): Per-session win/loss/rate table for Tokyo, London, NY, and aggregate total with color-coded performance rows
Session Background Tints: Subtle color fills applied to the chart background during Tokyo, London, and NY range-building windows — visually delineates the opening range capture period for each session in real time
Session Name Labels on Range Boxes: Session name label placed at the midpoint of each finalized range box — immediately identifies which session produced each visible range without requiring manual reference
EMA Alignment State in Dashboard: Current EMA alignment state (BULL ALIGN / BEAR ALIGN / NEUTRAL) displayed in the dashboard — provides a one-glance structural context for the active session
Live ATR Value in Dashboard: Current ATR value shown in the dashboard — communicates the prevailing volatility level used for TP/SL sizing at any given moment
Expanded Dashboard (8 Rows): Dashboard expanded to 8 rows — now includes EMA alignment state and live ATR value alongside the existing per-session win rate breakdown
Input Parameters
Session Settings:
Chart Timezone: Timezone for session window evaluation (default: America/New_York)
Show Tokyo / London / New York Range: Independent visibility toggles per session
Range Window (minutes): Opening range capture duration (default: 15)
EMA Filter:
Fast EMA: Period for fast EMA (default: 4)
Slow EMA: Period for slow EMA (default: 5)

Require EMA Alignment: Toggle filter on/off (default: enabled)
Risk Settings:
ATR Length: ATR period (default: 14)
ATR SL Multiplier: Stop loss ATR distance (default: 1.5)
Reward:Risk Ratio: TP as multiple of SL distance (default: 3.0)
Show TP/SL Boxes: Toggle TP/SL visualization (default: enabled)
Signal Settings:
Require Rejection Wick: Toggle minimum wick filter (default: enabled)
Min Wick % of Range: Minimum wick size relative to candle range (default: 55%)
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify Session Range Levels
Each session's opening range box shows the high, low, and midpoint established during the opening window. These are the primary liquidity reference levels for that killzone. Extension lines persist after the session box closes, continuing to mark those price levels as the day progresses.
Step 2: Monitor for Rejection Signals
When price wicks beyond a session extreme and closes back inside, a rejection signal is generated. This event represents a liquidity grab — the market took the stops placed beyond the session extreme and reversed. The signal fires at the close of the rejecting bar, confirmed on that candle only.
Step 3: Confirm EMA Alignment
With the EMA filter enabled, only signals aligned with the current EMA 4/5 direction and EMA 750 trend side are triggered. This avoids trading session rejections against the prevailing structural trend.
Step 4: Manage Risk with TP/SL Boxes
The ATR-based TP/SL boxes extend from the entry close and show the exact risk/reward zone for each trade. The stop is placed 1.5× ATR from entry; the target is 3× that distance by default. Both are adjustable.
Step 5: Review Session Performance
The per-session win rate table shows which session ranges have historically produced the best rejection setups on the current instrument and timeframe. Use this to focus attention on the sessions with the strongest empirical edge.
Indicator Limitations
Session detection is based on time windows relative to the selected timezone. Instruments that observe daylight saving time shifts differently from the selected timezone may require manual session string adjustment during DST transitions
The opening range window is fixed in minutes. On timeframes coarser than the window (e.g., a 30-minute chart with a 15-minute range window), the range will capture only one or two bars, which may not accurately represent the opening range
The EMA 750 requires 750 bars of history to produce an accurate value. On instruments with limited history or on very long timeframes, the first 750 bars will show an inaccurate trend filter — use the indicator on instruments and timeframes with sufficient historical data
Session win rate counters are maintained within the current chart load session and reset when the indicator is refreshed. They reflect historical outcomes up to the current chart's loaded data, not a permanent multi-year backtest
Rejection detection uses bar closes. On timeframes with large candles (daily, weekly), a wick rejection at a session range level may span multiple intraday sessions, making the signal less precise for intraday execution
Originality Statement
SRA automates the full three-stage session range workflow — range construction, level monitoring, and rejection detection — within a single indicator, with per-session outcome tracking and EMA trend filtering. This is original for the following reasons:
The dynamic range construction (high/low expanding bar-by-bar during the opening window, then finalizing on window close) replicates the manual process of drawing opening range boxes in real time, including live box expansion during active sessions — behavior not available from static horizontal lines
Extension lines at the session high, low, and midpoint persist beyond the session box as separate structural reference levels, providing a layered view of session-specific liquidity without requiring additional drawings
The rejection detection system operates across all three active session ranges simultaneously in a single scan loop, identifying which specific session range produced the signal and tagging it for session-specific outcome tracking
The EMA alignment stack (fast EMA cross direction + long-term trend EMA) applied as a prerequisite filter to session rejection signals combines institutional level-based methodology with trend confirmation in a single indicator rather than requiring a separate trend indicator
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 range levels and rejection signals are historical reference points. Price does not respect these levels in all market conditions, and rejection signals do not guarantee a reversal. Session win rates are derived from historical bar data and do not predict future performance. Always apply proper risk management. The author is not responsible for any trading losses resulting from the use of this indicator.

Session Pulse [JOAT]Session Pulse
Introduction
Session Pulse is an open-source multi-session gap statistics engine that tracks, categorizes, and accumulates gap data across Asia, London, and New York trading sessions, marks every session boundary transition with labeled vertical lines on the chart, and presents a unified session statistics dashboard. It answers a specific and persistent question that many traders examine manually: how often, in which direction, and by how much does this instrument gap between sessions?
Gap behavior is one of the most systematically consistent patterns across many instruments. Session close-to-open gaps represent a measurable directional displacement — one that either fills (mean reverts) or extends (confirms momentum) in predictable proportions over sufficiently large samples. Session Pulse automates the data collection and visualization for that entire analysis, providing live cumulative statistics on gap frequency, average gap size, maximum gap, and directional bias, refreshed on every bar.
Core Concepts
1. Session Detection
Each of the three sessions (Asia, London, New York) is detected using Pine Script's time() function with a user-configurable session string and timezone. Session transitions are identified by comparing the current bar's session membership to the previous bar's membership. A session start occurs on the first bar where the current bar is inside the session and the previous bar was outside:
inAsia = not na(time(timeframe.period, asiaSess, tzString))
inLondon = not na(time(timeframe.period, londonSess, tzString))
inNY = not na(time(timeframe.period, nySess, tzString))
asiaStart = inAsia and not inAsia
londonStart = inLondon and not inLondon
nyStart = inNY and not inNY
2. Gap Calculation and Categorization
A gap is calculated at each session open as the difference between the current bar's open and the previous bar's close, expressed as a percentage of the previous close. Gaps are categorized as Gap Up (positive gap, open above prior close) or Gap Down (negative gap, open below prior close). A minimum gap percentage threshold filters out negligible noise-level gaps that do not qualify as meaningful session displacements:
gapPct = (open - close ) / close * 100
isGapUp = asiaStart and gapPct > minGap
isGapDown = asiaStart and gapPct < -minGap
3. Session Boundary Visualization
At each session start, a vertical dotted line is drawn extending across the chart, and a labeled arrow points down from the top of the price range with the session name (ASIA, LONDON, NEW YORK). This creates a clear visual demarcation of every session boundary on the chart without requiring manual annotation. The lines and labels are drawn live on the current bar and persist across the chart history:
if showSessLns and londonStart
line.new(bar_index, low * 0.9999, bar_index, high * 1.0001,
color=color.new(#01579B, 55), style=line.style_dotted,
width=2, extend=extend.both)
label.new(bar_index, high, "LONDON",
style=label.style_label_down,
color=color.new(#01579B, 50), textcolor=color.white, size=size.tiny)
4. Cumulative Statistics Accumulation
Statistics are accumulated across the full chart history using running counters and accumulators for each direction. For each session type (Asia, London, NY), the indicator tracks: total gap count by direction, cumulative gap size sum for average computation, and the maximum gap in each direction. These statistics build bar by bar and display the full historical picture at any point in time:
if isGapUp
upCount += 1
upTotal += gapPct
upMax := math.max(upMax, gapPct)
5. Unified Statistics Dashboard
A single unified table presents all gap statistics in a structured layout: Gap Up rows at the top, a separator, Gap Down rows below, a final separator, and a summary row showing total gap count and the percentage of gaps that were up (directional bias). The entire table is positioned at a single user-configurable location on the chart, eliminating split-panel layouts:
// Row 0-1: Gap Up (Count, Avg, Max)
// Row 2: Separator
// Row 3-4: Gap Down (Count, Avg, Max)
// Row 5: Separator
// Row 6: Summary (Total, Up Bias %)
Features
Three-session gap tracking: Asia, London, and New York sessions each independently tracked with configurable session strings
Session boundary vertical lines: Dotted vertical lines with session name labels (ASIA, LONDON, NEW YORK) at every session transition
Gap categorization: Gap Up and Gap Down separated by direction with independent counters, average, and maximum for each

The summary row of the statistics table shows Up Bias % — the percentage of all gaps that have been upward. An Up Bias above 60% on a large sample indicates this instrument has a persistent tendency to gap up at session opens. This is the first, most actionable piece of information from the table.
Step 2: Compare Average Gap Sizes
The average gap rows for Gap Up and Gap Down show the typical magnitude of each type. If the average Gap Down is significantly larger than the average Gap Up, the downside gaps — when they occur — tend to be more violent even if they are less frequent. This asymmetry has implications for stop sizing around session opens.
Step 3: Use Maximum Gap for Range Planning
The maximum gap rows show the largest gap in each direction recorded on the chart. This establishes the worst-case session displacement for this instrument at the current timeframe — useful for setting session-open risk boundaries.
Step 4: Use Session Boundary Lines for Chart Context
The vertical lines with session name labels divide the chart into session periods. On lower timeframes this makes it immediately clear which session each group of bars belongs to, providing context for patterns that occur predominantly in specific sessions.
Step 5: Monitor for Session Open Alerts
Set the session open alerts to receive notifications at each session transition. This is particularly useful on instruments where specific sessions (London or New York) have consistent volatility expansion patterns at open.
Indicator Limitations
Gap detection measures the open of the first bar inside a session versus the close of the last bar outside the session. On timeframes where session transitions do not align cleanly with bar boundaries, gaps may be slightly misattributed
On instruments that trade continuously (24/7 crypto) with no actual session close, the concept of a gap between sessions is less meaningful — the session boundaries exist but price does not actually stop between them
The minimum gap filter is a flat percentage threshold. Instruments with different typical volatility levels require different minimum gap values to produce meaningful categorization
Statistics accumulate from the beginning of the chart's data history. On very long charts or charts with intraday data going back years, early data may represent a different market regime than the current one, diluting the relevance of cumulative statistics
This indicator tracks and categorizes gaps. It does not predict gap fill probability, gap extension probability, or provide entry/exit signals
Originality Statement
Session Pulse is original in its simultaneous three-session gap tracking system with unified cumulative statistics, directional bias calculation, and session boundary visualization integrated into a single tool. This indicator is published because:
Tracking gap statistics across three named, independently configurable sessions simultaneously — with separate counters, averages, and maximums for each direction per session — in a single unified table is uncommon in published open-source Pine Script
The directional bias percentage (Up Bias %) derived from cumulative historical gap data provides a single, immediately actionable summary statistic that characterizes the instrument's session gap behavior over the entire charted history
The session boundary vertical lines with labeled session name arrows provide a visual calendar overlay that applies the same session detection logic used for gap calculation to the chart itself, creating consistency between the chart elements and the statistical table
The unified single-table layout with section separators — merging Gap Up, Gap Down, and summary into one table at one position — avoids the visual fragmentation of split multi-table layouts

Meridian Session Atlas [JOAT]Meridian Session Atlas
Introduction
Meridian Session Atlas (MSA) is an open-source ICT-methodology session zone engine that renders all five major trading killzones — Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, and NY PM — as live, price-tracking boxes on the chart. Each session gets its own high and low pivot lines that extend rightward until price sweeps them, a real-time session VWAP for fair-value reference, and a sweep detection system that fires when a wick pierces a session extreme and the bar closes back inside. Daily and weekly opening prices are overlaid as key reference levels. All five sessions are fully configurable: colors, time windows, and visibility can be customized independently.
The core problem MSA solves is the manual, time-consuming work of identifying and drawing session ranges each day. ICT traders use session high/low levels as primary liquidity pools — price regularly sweeps below Asia lows to grab sell-side liquidity before reversing, or above London highs to take buy-side liquidity before reversing. Identifying those sweeps in real time, across all sessions simultaneously, on a clean chart with VWAP context is what MSA automates completely.
Core Concepts
1. Session Detection and State Tracking
Each of the five sessions is detected using Pine Script's time() function with the user-configured session string and timezone. A session starts when the current bar's time falls inside the session window for the first time (transition from outside to inside), and ends when it transitions back out:
bool asiaOn = useAsia and not na(time("", asiaSess, tzInput))
bool asiaStart = asiaOn and not asiaOn
bool asiaEnd = not asiaOn and asiaOn
On session start, the high, low, left bar index, and VWAP accumulators are reset. During the session, the high and low expand with each bar. On session end, the pivot lines are drawn and extended right.
2. Killzone Boxes
Each session draws a box that expands in real time as the session progresses — the right edge and top/bottom move with each new bar's high and low. On session close, the box freezes at the final session high and low, creating a permanent visual record of that session's range. A configurable maximum history count prevents chart clutter by automatically deleting old session boxes when the count exceeds the limit.
3. Session VWAP
Volume-weighted average price accumulates from the first bar of each session. The formula uses cumulative price-volume (hl2 * volume) divided by cumulative volume, resetting at each session start:
float asiaVwap = asiaOn ? safeDiv(as_cpv, as_cv) : na
The VWAP is plotted as a line only during the active session, breaking between sessions. It represents the institutional fair-value level within each killzone — institutional order flow frequently uses the VWAP as an equilibrium reference.
4. Liquidity Sweep Detection
A sweep is detected when price wicks through a session's pivot high or low and then closes back inside. The logic applies a minimum depth filter (default 0.1 ATR) to eliminate trivial tag-and-return moves, an optional body filter to confirm directional close bias, and a cooldown period to prevent multiple signals from the same sweep:
if low < as_lo and close > as_lo and asWickDn >= minSweepATR * atrVal and asBodyOkB
as_bullSweep := true
as_sweep := bar_index
A bullish sweep fires when price wicks below the session low and closes back above it — this is the ICT buy-side liquidity grab pattern. A bearish sweep fires when price wicks above the session high and closes back below — the sell-side liquidity grab. All five sessions are monitored simultaneously.
5. Daily and Weekly Opens
The opening price of each new trading day and each new trading week is plotted as a horizontal line extending rightward. These levels represent the most important institutional reference prices of their respective periods — the daily open divides the day into a bullish (above) or bearish (below) context, and the weekly open does the same for the week.
Features
Five Independent Killzone Boxes: Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, and NY PM each rendered as live price-tracking boxes with individual color, time, and visibility settings
Session Pivot Lines: High and low pivot lines extend from each completed session's extreme until price sweeps through them, providing persistent liquidity pool reference

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the Active Session
The dashboard shows the current active session in its color. The live session box is expanding in real time. This gives immediate context for whether you are in a high-liquidity killzone or off-session dead time.
Step 2: Monitor Session Extremes for Liquidity Pools
Completed session highs and lows are the primary liquidity pools that ICT methodology targets. These are the levels where institutional order flow is placed — above previous highs (buy-side liquidity) and below previous lows (sell-side liquidity).
Step 3: React to Sweep Signals
When a sweep label appears, price has hunted a session extreme and rejected it. A bull sweep (below a session low, close back above) represents a sell-side liquidity grab and potential long entry opportunity. A bear sweep (above a session high, close back below) represents a buy-side liquidity grab and potential short entry opportunity. Confirm with higher-timeframe bias and session VWAP position.
Step 4: Use Session VWAP as Fair Value
Price above the active session VWAP is trading at a premium within that session. Price below is at a discount. ICT concepts suggest looking for longs from discount (below VWAP after a bullish sweep) and shorts from premium (above VWAP after a bearish sweep).
Step 5: Reference Daily and Weekly Opens
The daily open is the most important intraday reference level. Price holding above the daily open is a bullish intraday context. Sweeps of the daily open low with a close recovery signal potential long opportunities.
Indicator Limitations
Session times are fixed to the timezone input. On instruments that trade across midnight or on non-standard sessions, the default session strings may need manual adjustment
The timeframe gate hides the indicator above the configured threshold. On timeframes above that threshold, none of the visual elements render — intentional behavior to prevent meaningless session boxes on, for example, a daily chart
VWAP calculation uses hl2 (average of high and low) multiplied by volume. On indices, synthetic instruments, or assets with unreliable volume data, the VWAP reading will not be accurate
Sweep detection uses bar close as the confirmation. Intrabar wicks that would constitute sweeps but then recover within the same bar are captured; wicks that close beyond the pivot are not classified as sweeps (they become the new session extreme)
Session history has a maximum of 8 completed sessions per killzone. On very long charts or after major gaps, the oldest session data is automatically removed
Originality Statement
MSA is original in its simultaneous, automated management of five independent session zones with unified sweep detection and VWAP integration. This indicator is published because:
The integration of five simultaneous, independently configurable session zones — each with its own box, pivot lines, VWAP, and sweep detection — into a single, performance-efficient indicator is uncommon. Most session-zone indicators handle only one or two sessions
The sweep detection algorithm applies three independent confirmation layers (ATR depth filter, body filter, cooldown) simultaneously across all five sessions, with a unified aggregated signal that names the originating session
The session VWAP calculation resets correctly at each session boundary (not at day boundary), providing a genuine intra-killzone fair-value reference rather than a daily VWAP approximation
The timeframe gate is a usability feature that prevents the indicator from rendering meaninglessly on timeframes where session granularity is lost

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 high and low levels are historical reference points — price does not respect these levels in all market conditions, and sweep signals do not guarantee continuation in any direction.

Institutional Session Profiler [JOAT]Institutional Session Profiler
Introduction
The Institutional Session Profiler builds a real-time volume-by-price distribution for each of the three major trading sessions — Asia (Tokyo, 01–09 UTC), London (07–16 UTC), and New York (13–22 UTC). For each session, it calculates the Point of Control (POC — the price level with the highest traded volume), the Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) encompassing 70% of session volume, and a net buy/sell delta that reveals directional institutional participation within the session. Profile shapes are rendered as smooth polyline waves via Catmull-Rom cubic spline interpolation, giving the profiles a clean, readable curve rather than a jagged bar histogram.
The core problem this solves: standard volume profile tools display a single aggregated profile for an arbitrary lookback. Institutional traders operate within defined session windows — Asia sets the range, London typically engineers liquidity, New York resolves direction. Mapping volume distribution per session reveals where institutions are genuinely active versus where price is simply passing through thin volume.
Core Concepts
1. Lower-Timeframe Volume Accumulation
To build accurate price-level histograms on any chart timeframe, 1-minute (or user-specified lower timeframe) bars are requested via Pine Script's security_lower_tf function. Each sub-bar's volume is classified as buy-side or sell-side, then placed into the session's price bins:
array ltf_c = request.security_lower_tf("", i_ltf, close)
array ltf_v = request.security_lower_tf("", i_ltf, volume)
for i = 0 to ltf_c.size() - 1
float p = ltf_c.get(i)
float v = ltf_v.get(i)
int idx = int(math.floor((p - s_asia.lo) / bin_size))
s_asia.bins.set(idx, s_asia.bins.get(idx) + v)
This means the profile represents actual sub-bar traded volume distributed across price, not a simple tick count or approximation from chart-timeframe candles.
2. Point of Control and Value Area
The POC is the bin index with the highest accumulated volume. The Value Area is computed by iteratively expanding from the POC outward, adding the higher-volume neighbor bin at each step until 70% of total session volume is captured:
float target = total_vol * VA_PCT // VA_PCT = 0.70
float accum = bins.get(poc_idx)
int lo_i = poc_idx
int hi_i = poc_idx
while accum < target
// expand toward whichever neighbor bin has more volume
The resulting VAH and VAL define the zone where the majority of institutional volume transacted. Price inside the value area is "accepted" — price outside it is either in premium or discount relative to session fair value.
3. Catmull-Rom Spline Profile Rendering
Rather than rendering a stepped histogram, the volume bins are smoothed with a double-pass averaging and then connected via Catmull-Rom cubic splines into a polyline. This produces the signature smooth profile wave that is readable at a glance without the visual noise of raw histogram bars:
// Control point generation for cubic interpolation
float cx0 = x0, cy0 = y0
float cx1 = x1 + (x2 - x0) / 6, cy1 = y1 + (y2 - y0) / 6
// ... polyline rendered via array
4. Session Delta
Each session accumulates a running buy/sell delta (buy volume minus sell volume across all sub-bars). The dashboard displays the session delta as a signed value with color coding — positive delta in the Asia session followed by a bullish London opening is a meaningful institutional convergence signal.
Features
Three Simultaneous Session Profiles: Asia, London, and New York built in parallel, each with its own color
Point of Control Line: Horizontal line at the highest-volume price level per session, extended across the full session range
Value Area Box: Shaded box from VAL to VAH representing the 70% volume concentration zone
Volume Wave: Smooth Catmull-Rom spline profile rendered as a polyline — showing the full shape of volume distribution
Buy/Sell Delta: Net directional volume per session displayed in the dashboard
Session Range Box: Outer boundary box showing the full session high-to-low range
9-Row Dashboard: Displays session status (open/closed), POC price, VAH, VAL, session range, delta, and total session volume for each active session
Alerts: Asia session open, London session open, NY session open, price enters value area, price exits value area

Dashboard:
Position: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left (default: Top Right)
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Locate the POC and Value Area
The POC is the single most important price level in each session — it represents the highest institutional agreement. Value Area (VAH to VAL) is where the majority of volume transacted. Price above VAH is premium; price below VAL is discount.
Step 2: Identify Session Transitions
The London open (07 UTC) frequently engineers liquidity above or below the Asia range. If London takes out the Asia high and then reverses, the Asia POC becomes a magnetic target. The NY open at 13 UTC is the resolution event — watch for which side of the London value area price is trading on at that open.
Step 3: Read the Session Delta
A session with strong positive delta (more buy volume than sell volume) combined with price closing near the VAH suggests institutional accumulation. Negative delta closing near VAL suggests distribution. Divergence between price direction and delta direction is a key reversal signal.
Step 4: Use VAH/VAL as Dynamic S/R
After a session closes, its VAH and VAL remain on chart as reference levels. These levels frequently act as support or resistance in the following session because institutional participants remember where the majority of volume transacted.
Originality Statement
This indicator is original in its combination of per-session volume profile construction using lower-timeframe data with Catmull-Rom spline visual rendering and real-time delta tracking across three simultaneous sessions. Its publication is justified because:
Volume profiles are typically computed for arbitrary user-defined time windows or fixed periods. Per-session profiling maps institutional behavior to the actual time windows in which institutions operate — Asia, London, and New York — creating contextually meaningful distributions rather than arbitrary aggregations
Catmull-Rom spline interpolation of the bin array produces a smooth, continuous profile shape that preserves the true distribution topology while being readable without histogram visual noise
Real-time lower-timeframe volume decomposition into price bins on any chart timeframe gives accurate sub-bar volume placement that chart-timeframe-only calculations cannot produce
Simultaneous three-session display with independent POC, VAH, VAL, and delta tracking per session enables cross-session analysis that no single-profile tool can provide
Limitations
LTF data requests consume additional computation. On very high timeframe charts (4H+), 1-minute LTF data pulls are large. Consider using 5m LTF on higher timeframes to reduce computation.
The buy/sell volume classification (close >= open = buy) is an approximation at the 1-minute level. True tick-direction is not available in Pine Script.
Session times are fixed UTC offsets. Daylight saving time transitions may shift the actual institutional open by one hour depending on the exchange.
Value Area calculation uses 70% of session volume by default. This follows the standard Market Profile convention but the threshold is not universally agreed upon.
On assets with very low volume (illiquid instruments), the profile bins will be sparse and the spline shape may not be representative of meaningful distribution.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument. All trading involves risk of loss. Session volume patterns do not guarantee future price behavior. Always use proper risk management.

Killzones & Key LevelsThe ICT Killzones + Key Levels indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that consolidates institutional trading logic and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts into a single interface. Its primary distinction lies in optimizing all calculations based on actual market opening times—specifically the New York 18:00 session rollover—rather than the standard midnight (00:00) reset.
It visually represents critical Killzone regions, such as Asia, London, New York AM/PM, and New York Lunch, using dynamic boxes on the chart. These zones highlight periods of peak volatility and liquidity, clarifying areas where price is most likely to react. Additionally, it calculates session-based Daily, Weekly, and Monthly (DWM) open levels to align with institutional data, making intraday bias much easier to determine.
The indicator provides a True Day Open (TDO => NYMO) level as a vital reference point throughout the day while automatically tracking Previous Day, Week, and Month Highs and Lows (H/L). By drawing vertical day-divider lines at 18:00, it allows traders to see the "true" trading day. This enables Futures and Forex traders to analyze market cycles based on institutional liquidity flow rather than just calendar hours.
Finally, it includes a volatility analysis table that displays the current price range for each session. With a fully customizable structure, you can adjust sessions, colors, and timeframes to fit your specific strategy. In essence, this tool serves as a professional roadmap for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders who prioritize session structure over traditional timekeeping. Indicator

[ A L P H A X ] Session Levels MapAlphaX Session Levels Map — Session Boxes, H/L Extensions, PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, EQ Midpoints & Live Level Status Table
AlphaX Session Levels Map is a comprehensive session structure and key level visualization tool built for traders who use institutional time-based analysis. It maps the three major trading sessions — Asia, London, and New York — alongside Previous Day and Previous Week high, low, open, and close levels, all on a single clean overlay with a live reference table showing every level's current price and status in real time.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕐 Session Mapping
Each session — Asia, London, and New York — is tracked independently from its configurable GMT start time to its end time. As price moves through the session, the indicator builds the session range in real time, recording the highest high and lowest low reached.
When the session closes, the indicator draws:
A session box spanning the full session range from open bar to close bar, clearly marking the price area the session occupied
A session name label centered inside the box at the session high
An EQ midpoint line at the exact equilibrium between the session high and low — the 50% level of the range, a key reference for ICT and SMC traders
Extended H/L lines that project forward from the session close and remain active until price breaks through them — at which point the line terminates exactly at the breakout bar
All session drawings are controlled by a Sessions to Show setting — older sessions beyond your chosen limit are automatically removed, keeping the chart clean regardless of how far back you scroll.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 Key Levels
Previous Day High / Low (PDH / PDL)
Plotted at the start of each new trading day using the prior day's confirmed high and low. Lines extend forward across the current day and labels follow price to the right edge of the chart at all times.
Previous Day Open / Close
The prior day's open and close prices plotted as separate lines — useful for identifying whether the current day is trading above or below the previous day's range midpoint and for gauging bullish or bearish displacement.
Previous Day Midpoint (PD Mid)
The exact 50% equilibrium of the previous day's high-to-low range. A key reference level for mean reversion setups and judging whether price is premium or discount relative to the prior day.
Previous Week High / Low (PWH / PWL)
Plotted at the start of each new week using the prior week's confirmed high and low. Drawn one width heavier than daily levels to visually distinguish their higher timeframe significance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 Live Level Status Table
A compact reference table updates on every bar and shows every active level at a glance:
Level — the name of the level, color-coded to match its line on the chart
Price — the exact price of the level formatted to the instrument's tick size
Status — whether price is currently Above ▲ or Below ▼ the level, color-coded green and red in real time
The table covers all active levels: PDH, PDL, PD Open, PD Close, PD Mid, PWH, PWL, Asia H/L, London H/L, and NY H/L. Levels that are disabled in settings are automatically hidden from the table — no blank rows or clutter.

🚀 How to Use
Add AlphaX Session Levels Map to your chart on any intraday timeframe — M1 through H1 works best
Check the live table immediately — it shows you at a glance whether price is above or below every key level without needing to scan the chart
Use PDH and PDL as the first reference for the day — a clean break and hold above PDH is bullish displacement; a rejection at PDH is a premium reversal zone
Use PWH and PWL for higher timeframe context — these are the weekly liquidity pools that institutional flow targets
Watch Asia High and Low during London open — London frequently raids one side of the Asia range before committing to direction
Use session EQ midpoints for mean reversion entries — price returning to a session's 50% level after displacement is a high-probability setup in ICT methodology
Enable session background highlighting during live trading to instantly identify which session is currently active
Set PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL break alerts with your webhook URL for real-time notifications when key levels are breached
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CANDLE DISPLAY - Shows up to 8 higher timeframes simultaneously on your chart (15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M)
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 KEY FEATURES
════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING SESSIONS MODULE:
✓ Track up to 6 custom trading sessions simultaneously
✓ Real-time high/low range detection during active sessions
✓ Pre-configured for NYO (7-9am), LNO (2-3am), Asian Session (4:30pm-12am)

✓ Automatic timeframe validation (only shows TFs higher than chart)
✓ Memory-optimized with automatic cleanup
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
════════════════════════════════════════════
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
Session Tracking Algorithm:
• Detects session start/end using time() function with timezone support
• Continuously monitors and updates high/low during active session
• Finalizes range when session ends using var persistence
• Draws boxes using real-time bar_index positioning
• Maintains session ranges across multiple days for reference
Multi-Timeframe System:
• Uses ta.change(time()) detection to identify new MTF candle formation
• Constructs candles using custom Type definitions (Candle, CandleSet, Config)
• Stores OHLC data in arrays with automatic size management
• Renders using box objects (bodies) and line objects (wicks)
• Updates current candle every tick; historical candles remain static
• Calculates dynamic positioning based on user settings (offset, spacing, width)
Object-Oriented Architecture:
• Custom Type "Candle" - Stores OHLC values, timestamps, visual elements
• Custom Type "CandleSet" - Manages arrays of candles + settings per timeframe
• Custom Type "Config" - Centralizes all display configuration
• Efficient memory management via unshift() for new candles, pop() for old
Performance Optimizations:
• var declarations minimize recalculation overhead
• Conditional execution (sessions only on short timeframes)
• Maximum display limits prevent excessive object creation
• Timeframe validation at barstate.isfirst reduces redundant checks
════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 HOW TO USE
════════════════════════════════════════════
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart (works best on 1m-30m timeframes)
2. Open Settings → "Trading Sessions" group
- Enable desired sessions (NYO, LNO, AS, or custom)
- Select your timezone from 60+ options
- Adjust colors and transparency
3. Open Settings → "Multi-TF Candles" group
- Enable timeframes (TF1-TF8)
- Configure each timeframe and display count
- Customize colors and layout
READING THE CHART:
• Session boxes show high/low ranges during active sessions
• MTF candles display to the right of current price
• Labels identify each timeframe (15m, 1H, 4H, etc.)
• Real-time updates on the most recent MTF candle
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
Session Breakout Strategy:
→ Identify session high/low (e.g., Asian session 16:30-00:00)
→ Wait for break above/below range
→ Confirm with higher timeframe candle close
→ Enter in breakout direction, stop at opposite side of range
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation:
→ Spot setup on primary chart (e.g., 5m)
→ Verify 15m, 1H, 4H candles align with trade direction
→ Only take trades where higher TFs confirm
→ Exit when higher TF candles show reversal
Combined Session + MTF:
→ Asian session establishes range overnight
→ London Open breaks Asian high
→ Confirm with bullish 15m + 1H candles
→ Enter long with stop below Asian high
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
════════════════════════════════════════════
What makes this indicator original:
1. INTEGRATED DUAL-MODULE DESIGN
Unlike separate session or MTF indicators, this combines both in a single performance-optimized script, enabling powerful correlation analysis between session behavior and timeframe structure.
2. ADVANCED RENDERING SYSTEM
Uses custom Pine Script v5 Types with dynamic box/line object management instead of basic plot functions. This enables:
• Precise visual control over positioning and spacing
• Real-time updates without repainting
• Efficient memory handling via automatic cleanup
• Support for 8 simultaneous timeframes with independent settings
3. INTELLIGENT SESSION TRACKING
The algorithm continuously recalculates ranges bar-by-bar during active sessions, then preserves the final range. This differs from static zone indicators that simply draw fixed boxes at predefined levels.
4. MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
Custom Type definitions (Candle, CandleSet, Config) create extensible, maintainable code structure while supporting complex multi-timeframe operations with minimal performance impact.
5. PROFESSIONAL FLEXIBILITY
Extensive customization: 6 configurable sessions, 8 timeframe slots, 60+ timezones, granular color/sizing/spacing controls, multiple label positioning modes—adaptable to any market or trading style.
6. SMART VISUAL DESIGN
Automatic timeframe validation, dynamic label alignment options, and intelligent spacing calculations ensure clarity even with multiple timeframes displayed simultaneously.

ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Global Setting

This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone :
The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
Display More Info :
Displays information about the price range of the order blocks (Zone Price) and the date, hour, and minute under "Display More Info". If you do not want this information to appear in the received message along with the alert, you should set it to "Off".
