Session Reclaim Planner [AGPro Series]Session Reclaim Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Did price reclaim a key session high or low with enough acceptance to create a valid planning context?
📌 Overview / What it does
Session Reclaim Planner is an intraday decision-support tool built around session high and session low reclaim behavior. It builds a configurable reference session, maps the session high/low rails, then monitors whether price temporarily loses one of those rails and reclaims it with measurable acceptance.
The script produces a 0-100 Reclaim Score, session level rails, a reclaim pocket, a risk edge, a target corridor, event labels, alerts, and a compact AG Pro planning panel. It is designed to help traders organize session reclaim context instead of reacting to every touch of a session level.
It does not predict price direction, automate trades, or mark every session high/low as important. The script focuses on a specific sequence: session rail built -> rail temporarily lost -> rail reclaimed by close -> acceptance quality reviewed.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built to fill the gap between simple session level markers and broad session reaction tools.
Many session indicators show highs, lows, opens, boxes, or kill zones. Those references can be useful, but they often leave the trader with the harder question: did the level actually get reclaimed with enough structure to matter?
Session Reclaim Planner supports a planning-first mindset. It asks whether the setup is valid, how strong it is, where the risk edge sits, where the target corridor is, and what the next action state should be.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most session tools focus on time windows, session opens, or static high/low levels.
This script does NOT clone Session Reaction Map, Kill Zone Session Engine, Session VWAP Reaction Engine, Session Range Expansion Planner, Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim, or a generic support/resistance map.
Instead, it focuses only on session rail reclaim behavior after a completed reference session. The reclaim must come from a clear rail loss and a close back through the level, then the script evaluates acceptance, participation, room, and risk structure.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds a configurable session range and stores the session high and low as active reclaim rails.
2. Reference Mapping
The high and low rails are projected forward. The user can evaluate both rails or focus only on the high or low.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The planner waits for a temporary rail loss, then checks whether price closes back through the rail with enough reclaim distance.
4. Visual Output
Accepted events create a reclaim pocket, risk edge, target corridor, chart labels, panel state, and alert conditions.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the reclaim pocket and target corridor.
Labels = rail loss, reclaim watch, plan review, failed reclaim, and target review events.
Colors = bullish low reclaim uses AGPro teal, bearish high reclaim uses AGPro pink, neutral review states use gold, and target context uses indigo.
Panel = current session level, Reclaim Score, acceptance status, risk edge, and action state.
🚦 Signals & States
• Reclaim Watch → price has temporarily lost a selected session rail and the planner is waiting for a reclaim close.
• Acceptance Watch → a reclaim close exists, but the plan still needs enough quality or acceptance.
• Plan Review → score and acceptance are strong enough to review risk and target context.
• Risk Edge Test → price is testing the active risk boundary.
• Failed Reclaim → price closes through the risk edge and the reclaim plan is no longer valid.
• Target Review → price reaches the target corridor and the reaction should be reviewed.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Bullish Session Reclaim triggers when the session low is lost, reclaimed, and the score reaches the alert threshold.
Bearish Session Reclaim triggers when the session high is lost, reclaimed, and the score reaches the alert threshold.
Plan Review triggers when the active reclaim reaches the required score and acceptance conditions.
Failed Reclaim triggers when price closes through the active risk edge.
Target Review triggers when price reaches the active target corridor.
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The score combines multiple conditions:
• Reclaim close strength
• Acceptance closes
• Volume support
• Risk-to-target room
• Session range fit
When those elements align, the reclaim context becomes stronger. When one or more elements are weak, the panel keeps the user in watch or no-review states.
📊 When to Use
• 1H publication charts and lower intraday execution-review charts
• Intraday markets with clear session behavior
• Session high/low reclaim workflows
• London or New York continuation/reversal review
• Markets where traders actively monitor session rails
• Clean reclaim sequences after temporary level loss
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low liquidity markets
• Extremely noisy micro timeframes
• Symbols where session windows are not meaningful
• Conditions with erratic gaps or unreliable volume
• Markets where the reference session is not relevant to your workflow
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Visual Timeframe Preset → default chart objects are optimized for 1H and lower publication charts, while 4H or all intraday visuals can be enabled manually.
• Session Timezone → defines how session windows are interpreted.
• Level Build Session → builds the reference high and low rails.
• Monitor Session → defines when reclaim behavior is evaluated.
• Reclaim Rail Mode → selects high, low, or both rails.
• Minimum Rail Loss ATR → controls how much level loss is required before a reclaim watch starts.
• Acceptance Closes → controls how many closes must hold the reclaimed side.
• Target Corridor Model → selects rail-based, R-based, or hybrid target logic.
• Panel and Label Settings → control readability, location, theme, and font sizes.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built around a clean AG Pro planning panel and chart-first visual structure.
The session rails define the level context. The reclaim pocket defines the recovered area. The risk edge shows where the active plan weakens. The target corridor frames the next review area.
Labels are intentionally compact and offset away from candles so the chart remains readable without looking empty.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the AG Pro panel.
2. Check whether the session rails are built.
3. Wait for a rail loss and reclaim close.
4. Review the Reclaim Score and acceptance count.
5. Compare the risk edge and target corridor with broader market context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Treat the script as a structured session reclaim map.
A higher score means the reclaim has cleaner acceptance, better participation, and better room relative to risk. A lower score means the reclaim may still exist, but the plan quality is weaker or incomplete.
The target corridor is a review area, not a guaranteed objective.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine
• Not financial advice
• Not auto trading
• Not guaranteed signals
• Not a generic support/resistance map
• Not a session open reaction scanner
• Not a VWAP reclaim tool
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Session behavior depends heavily on symbol, liquidity, timezone, and timeframe.
A reclaim that looks clean on one timeframe may look incomplete or noisy on another.
Volume support can be less reliable on markets where reported volume is limited or synthetic.
No rule-based script can account for every news event, spread condition, execution constraint, or market regime shift.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Session reclaim behavior often matters because traders watch session highs and lows as liquidity and structure references.
The key distinction is not the level itself. The key distinction is whether price lost the level, reclaimed it, and then held acceptance strongly enough to deserve review.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price sweeps below the built session low, closes back above it, holds acceptance, and has room toward the opposite rail, the panel may move into Plan Review.
When price reclaims a rail but immediately closes through the risk edge, the state shifts to Failed Reclaim.
When price reaches the target corridor, the script marks Target Review so the user can evaluate the reaction instead of assuming continuation.
🧱 System Philosophy
Session Reclaim Planner follows the AGPro decision-engine model:
Validate the setup.
Score the quality.
Map the risk.
Frame the target.
Show the next action state.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
The script does not provide certainty.
It organizes session reclaim context with rule-based logic and visual planning references.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and execution.
This script is for educational and analytical use only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the tool to study how session high and session low reclaim behavior changes across symbols, sessions, and timeframes.

Session Levels IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
🔹 Session Levels IQ
Session Levels IQ is a session-based percentage grid tool designed to map how far price typically travels away from each session open.
Instead of treating a session as a simple open-high-low-close range, this tool builds a structured level framework around the session open and tracks which distances tend to get reached, how often they get reached, and what price typically does after touching them .
Think of it as a way to study session expansion behavior around the open .
This indicator records historical observations to show what typically happens.
It’s not a strict probability model, but more of a history book of past behavior.
session-based percentage levels built outward from the open
custom session or timeframe-based session construction
hit-rate tracking for each distance level
typical move-after-hit measurement
normal vs unusual level zoning
optional coloring by historical hit rate or move-after-hit
reference price line for inspecting post-hit behavior
🔹 What the tool shows
🔸 Session-centered level grid
Each session begins from its opening price, and the script builds levels outward in configurable percentage intervals.
This creates a structured grid above and below the session open, helping you visualize how price expands relative to where the session started.
This helps reveal:
how far price tends to travel from the session open
which percentage distances are reached most often
how session expansion behaves over time
🔸 Historical hit rate by level
The script tracks whether each percentage level gets touched across completed sessions.
Over time, this produces a running statistical view of how often price reaches specific distances from the open.
This allows you to observe:
which distances are commonly reached
which distances are less typical
where session expansion begins to become unusual
🔸 Typical move after hit
In addition to tracking whether a level is reached, the script also records what price typically does after touching that level.
For levels that get hit, it measures the median follow-through after contact.
This helps show:
whether certain levels tend to lead to larger continuation
whether some levels produce relatively small follow-through
how post-hit behavior differs across the grid
This is not just about whether price gets somewhere.
It is also about what tends to happen once it gets there .
🔸 Normal vs unusual zones
A configurable normal range defines which distances from the open are considered relatively typical and which fall outside that range.
Levels inside this zone are treated as normal, while levels beyond it are treated as more unusual.
This helps identify:
common session movement areas
stretched or less typical expansion zones
where price is trading beyond its more ordinary session behavior
🔸 Level coloring modes
The script can visually color levels in different ways depending on what you want to study.
Available modes include:
By Hit Chance
By Move After
None
With hit-chance coloring, levels are shaded based on how frequently they are reached.
With move-after coloring, levels are shaded based on the magnitude of the typical move after price touches them.
This makes it easier to spot:
frequently reached levels
less common extension areas
levels associated with larger follow-through
🔸 Custom session support
You can build the framework using either:
a standard session timeframe such as 1D
a fully custom intraday session window
This makes the tool flexible for traders who want to study:
daily opens
custom market sessions
specific trading windows
🔸 Whole-number level emphasis
The script can optionally emphasize whole-number percentage distances so that major percentage thresholds stand out more clearly on the chart.
This can help when you want to quickly distinguish:
major percentage levels
minor intermediate levels
cleaner structural reference points
🔸 Reference price line
An optional draggable reference line lets you place a price directly onto a level and inspect the typical move after that level is hit.
This gives you a visual way to explore:
how levels behave after being reached
which zones tend to continue further
which levels show more limited follow-through
This feature is best viewed as exploratory context , not as a standalone signal.
🔸 Session range box
The script can also draw a box around the current session’s working range, helping frame the active expansion area as the session develops.
This gives additional context for:
the current session’s high-to-low development
where the grid sits relative to the active range
how much of the session’s expansion has already formed
🔹 How to read it
Each component provides a different layer of session information:
Session open → anchor point for the grid
Percentage levels → structured expansion distances from the open
Hit chance → how often a level gets reached across sessions
Move after hit → typical follow-through once a level is touched
Normal range → common vs unusual expansion territory
Reference line → exploratory view of post-hit behavior
🔹 Why this tool is useful
It gives you:
a structured way to study session expansion around the open
historical context for which distances are commonly reached
visibility into which extensions are relatively unusual
insight into what price typically does after contacting a level
a contextual framework for session movement analysis
🔹 Best use cases
studying how far sessions typically expand from the open
identifying common vs stretched extension zones
comparing likely and unlikely distance levels
adding structure to open-based session analysis
exploring how price tends to behave after touching key percentage levels
🔹 Important note
This tool is based on historical session behavior and percentage-distance tracking.
That means:
it is descriptive, not predictive certainty
results depend on the instrument and timeframe being analyzed
smaller level spacing creates more detail, but also more density
typical move-after-hit is informational and should not be treated too literally
🔹 Inputs you can customize
The script includes flexible controls such as:
custom session toggle
custom session time
session timeframe
level spacing percentage
normal range percentage
label detail level
label size
label side
show all stored levels
whole-number level emphasis
session range box display
level coloring mode
reference price line
Closing Notes
Session Levels IQ is built to shift the focus from simply asking where price is now to asking how far price has historically tended to travel from a session open, how often those levels are reached, and what usually happens after contact .
It helps turn session expansion into a more structured and measurable framework , so you can view open-based movement with more context than raw candles alone.
Thank you for checking it out and thank you PulseWire!

Vantage Protocol [JOAT]Vantage Protocol
Introduction
Vantage Protocol is an advanced open-source execution strategy that integrates regime classification, adaptive momentum filtering, volume confirmation, session timing, and ATR-based risk management into a unified NNFX-aligned trading engine. Rather than relying on a single entry signal, the strategy requires alignment across five independent subsystems — regime state, momentum direction, cumulative volume delta, volume presence, and session timing — before entering a trade. This multi-gate architecture is designed to filter out low-probability setups and only execute when multiple independent factors converge.
This strategy exists because most retail strategies fail for a predictable reason: they use one or two conditions for entry and ignore the broader market context. A moving average crossover in a choppy market produces losses. A momentum signal during a low-volume session lacks follow-through. An entry outside the active institutional window misses the liquidity needed for clean execution. Vantage Protocol addresses each of these failure modes with a dedicated subsystem, and only enters when all subsystems agree.
Important Note on Strategy Results
Backtesting results shown with this strategy are historical simulations and do not guarantee future performance. Markets change, and strategies that performed well historically may not perform well in the future. The default settings use realistic parameters: 2% of equity per trade, $100,000 initial capital, no pyramiding, and zero margin. Users should add commission and slippage appropriate for their broker and instrument in the strategy Properties dialog before evaluating results. The strategy is published with these defaults to provide a transparent starting point — users are expected to adjust parameters for their specific trading conditions.
Strategy Architecture
The strategy follows an NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) inspired architecture where each subsystem acts as an independent gate. A trade is only entered when all gates are open simultaneously.
Gate 1: Regime Engine
The regime engine determines whether the market is trending or ranging. It combines three independent measures:
H-Infinity Filter: An adaptive filter from control theory that tracks price under worst-case noise assumptions. The filter's slope determines directional bias — positive slope = bullish, negative slope = bearish
R-Squared Efficiency Gate: Measures how well price fits a linear regression. When R-squared exceeds an auto-calibrating threshold (rolling mean plus k standard deviations), the efficiency gate opens, indicating a trending market. A hysteresis band prevents flickering
Chop Score: Measures path efficiency — the ratio of net movement to total path length. High chop scores indicate choppy, non-directional markets where trend-following strategies fail
The regime is classified as trending (bullish or bearish) only when R-squared confirms efficiency AND chop score confirms directional movement. If either condition fails, the regime is classified as ranging and no entries are allowed.
bool regimeTrend = effOK and not isChoppy
int regimeBias = regimeTrend ? (hinfSlope >= 0 ? 1 : -1) : 0
Gate 2: Momentum Core
The momentum subsystem uses a Laguerre RSI processed through JMA adaptive smoothing. The Laguerre filter provides a smoother, less laggy momentum reading than standard RSI, and the JMA smoothing further reduces noise while preserving responsiveness to genuine momentum shifts.
Momentum must confirm the regime direction:
For long entries: JMA-smoothed Laguerre RSI must be above the bull threshold (default: 62)
For short entries: JMA-smoothed Laguerre RSI must be below the bear threshold (default: 38)
This prevents entries when momentum is neutral or contradicts the regime bias.
Gate 3: Volume Filter (CVD)
Cumulative Volume Delta tracks net buying versus selling pressure. The strategy requires the CVD slope (smoothed with an EMA) to confirm the trade direction:
For long entries: CVD slope must be positive (net buying pressure increasing)
For short entries: CVD slope must be negative (net selling pressure increasing)
Additionally, the current bar's volume must exceed a minimum ratio relative to the 50-bar average (default: 0.7x). This filters out entries during thin-liquidity periods where price moves lack conviction and slippage risk is elevated.
Gate 4: Session Filter
An optional session window filter restricts entries to a configurable time window (default: 0200-1200 New York time). This aligns trading with the London and New York sessions where institutional liquidity is deepest. Entries outside this window are blocked because low-liquidity sessions produce unreliable price action and wider spreads.
Gate 5: Cooldown
After any exit (whether by stop loss, take profit, or regime exit), a configurable cooldown period (default: 5 bars) must pass before a new entry is allowed. This prevents revenge trading and allows the market to establish a new setup after a position closes.
Entry and Exit Logic
Entry Conditions:
All five gates must be open simultaneously, and the strategy must be flat (no existing position):
bool longSetup = regimeBias == 1 and momBull and cvdBull and volOK and sessOK and cooldownOK
bool shortSetup = regimeBias == -1 and momBear and cvdBear and volOK and sessOK and cooldownOK
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
SL and TP levels are calculated using ZEMA-smoothed ATR multiplied by configurable factors:
Stop Loss: Entry price minus (ZEMA-ATR x SL Multiplier) for longs, plus for shorts (default SL multiplier: 1.8)
Take Profit: Entry price plus (ZEMA-ATR x TP Multiplier) for longs, minus for shorts (default TP multiplier: 2.8)
The default risk-reward ratio is approximately 1:1.56 (1.8 SL to 2.8 TP). ZEMA smoothing on the ATR removes noise from the volatility measure, producing more stable SL/TP levels than raw ATR.
Regime Exit:
If the regime flips to ranging or the opposite direction while a position is open, the strategy closes the position immediately with a "Regime Exit" comment. Additionally, if momentum deteriorates significantly (Laguerre RSI crossing back toward neutral), the position is closed. This prevents holding positions through regime changes where the original thesis is no longer valid.
Band Structure Visualization
The strategy plots a JMA baseline with regime-colored glow, and SL/TP bands around it:
SL bands (inner) shown in muted scarlet with fill zones
TP bands (outer) shown in muted jade with cross-style plotting
The baseline color shifts based on regime: green for bullish trend, red for bearish trend, purple for ranging
Bar coloring reflects the current position state: green when long, red when short, purple when ranging (no position allowed), and grey when flat in a trending regime.
Default Strategy Properties
These are the default values used in the strategy's Properties dialog:
Initial Capital: $100,000
Order Size: 2% of equity per trade
Pyramiding: 0 (no adding to positions)
Margin: Long 0%, Short 0% (cash account simulation)
Commission: Not set by default — users should configure this for their broker (typical values: 0.01-0.1% for crypto, $1-5 per contract for futures, 1-3 pips for forex)
Slippage: Not set by default — users should configure this for their instrument (typical values: 1-3 ticks for liquid instruments, more for illiquid ones)
Users are strongly encouraged to set realistic commission and slippage values before evaluating backtesting results. Results without commission and slippage will overstate performance.

Risk Management:
Risk % (default: 1.5), Re-entry Cooldown (default: 5 bars)
How to Use This Strategy
Step 1: Configure for Your Instrument
Open the strategy Properties dialog and set commission and slippage values appropriate for your broker and instrument. Adjust the session window if you trade instruments with different liquidity patterns than the default London/NY window.
Step 2: Evaluate on Sufficient Data
Run the strategy on a dataset that produces at least 100 trades for statistical significance. Short datasets with few trades produce unreliable performance metrics. Use the strategy tester's detailed trade list to review individual trades.
Step 3: Monitor the Dashboard
The 9-row dashboard shows the state of every subsystem in real-time: regime classification, momentum reading, CVD direction, volume ratio, session status, current position, ATR value, and cooldown status. This transparency lets you understand exactly why the strategy is or is not entering trades.
Step 4: Understand the Regime Exit
The strategy will close positions when the regime changes, even if the SL/TP has not been hit. This is by design — holding a trend-following position through a regime change to ranging is a common source of losses. Regime exits may result in small wins or small losses, but they prevent the larger losses that come from ignoring changing conditions.
Step 5: Adjust Parameters Thoughtfully
If the strategy produces too few trades, consider lowering the momentum thresholds (bull from 62 to 58, bear from 38 to 42) or reducing the minimum volume ratio. If it produces too many losing trades, consider increasing the R-squared threshold k or the chop threshold. Each parameter change affects the trade-off between signal frequency and signal quality.
Strategy Limitations and Compromises
Trade Frequency: The five-gate architecture is deliberately selective. On many instruments and timeframes, the strategy may only produce a handful of trades per month. This is by design — fewer, higher-quality trades — but it means the strategy is not suitable for traders who need frequent activity
Regime Detection Lag: The regime engine uses lookback-based measures (R-squared, chop score) and persistence requirements. Regime changes are identified with a delay, which means the strategy may miss the first portion of a new trend or hold slightly into a regime change
CVD Approximation: The volume delta calculation (close > open = buying) is an approximation. True order flow requires Level 2 data not available in Pine Script. On instruments with unreliable volume data (forex with tick volume), the CVD gate may be less effective
Fixed SL/TP: Stop loss and take profit are set at entry and do not trail. In strong trends, the strategy may exit at the TP while the trend continues. A trailing stop modification could capture more of extended moves but would also increase the risk of giving back profits during pullbacks
Session Dependency: The default session filter is optimized for forex and futures with distinct London/NY sessions. Crypto and other 24/7 markets may benefit from disabling the session filter or adjusting the window
No Pyramiding: The strategy does not add to winning positions. This limits profit potential in strong trends but also limits risk exposure
Backtesting vs Live: Backtesting assumes fills at the close of the signal bar. In live trading, slippage, requotes, and execution delays may produce different results. Always paper trade before committing real capital
Originality Statement
This strategy is original in its multi-gate architecture that synthesizes five independent subsystems into a unified execution engine. While individual components (regime detection, Laguerre RSI, CVD, session filtering, ATR-based risk management) are established concepts, this strategy is justified because:
The five-gate entry architecture (regime + momentum + CVD + volume + session) provides a systematic approach to filtering low-probability setups that is not available in single-indicator strategies
The H-Infinity filter for regime detection applies control theory to market classification, providing a theoretically grounded alternative to simple moving average crossover regime detection
The triple-measure regime engine (R-squared + chop + H-Infinity slope) provides more robust regime classification than any single measure
The regime exit mechanism actively manages positions based on changing market conditions rather than relying solely on fixed SL/TP levels
The NNFX-inspired architecture with clearly separated subsystems (baseline, confirmation, volume, exit, session) provides a modular framework that traders can understand, evaluate, and modify
The cooldown mechanism prevents revenge trading after exits, addressing a common behavioral trading error
All subsystem states are displayed transparently in the dashboard, allowing traders to understand exactly why trades are or are not being taken
Disclaimer
This strategy 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 and is not suitable for all investors.
Backtesting results are historical simulations based on past data. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The strategy's historical performance was generated under specific market conditions that may not repeat. Markets are dynamic, and strategies that worked historically may fail in the future.
The default strategy properties do not include commission or slippage. Users must configure these values for their specific broker and instrument to obtain realistic performance estimates. Results without commission and slippage will overstate actual trading performance.
Always use proper risk management, including position sizing appropriate for your account and risk tolerance. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider paper trading this strategy extensively before using real capital. The author is not responsible for any losses incurred from using this strategy.

Session Bar Color (US Time)This script is designed to change the color of bars on a trading chart based on different trading sessions in Eastern Time (ET). It is different from currently published scripts in that it specifically focuses on US time sessions and provides a customizable approach to defining and coloring each session.
To use this script, you can apply it to a chart by selecting it from the list of available indicators or overlays.
The script is meant for traders who are interested in visualizing different trading sessions on their charts. By coloring the bars based on session boundaries, it can help traders quickly identify session changes and potentially adjust their trading strategies accordingly. Mostly it's used to draw the high and low zones of each session.
The markets this script is suitable for are those that operate within the US time zones, as it specifically focuses on Eastern Time (ET) sessions. It can be used for various types of markets, including stocks, futures, and forex.
The conditions for each session are defined using the input. session function, which allows you to specify the start and end times for each session. The script includes four sessions: Asian, London, USA, and New York. By modifying the defval parameter for each session input, you can customize the session times to fit your specific trading preferences or time zone.
The script uses the time function to check if the current bar falls within a particular session. If the condition is met, it sets the color of the bar using the bar color function. Each session is assigned a different color: black for the Asian session, teal for the London session, a custom RGB color (dark red) for the USA session, and red for the New York session.
It's important to note that this script assumes the time zone of the trading platform is set to "Etc/GMT+4" to align with Eastern Time (ET). If your platform uses a different time zone, you may need to adjust the time function calls to match your desired time zone. Indicator

Session High and Session LowI have heard many people ask for a script that will identify the high and low of a specific session. So, I made one.
Important Note: This indicator has to be set up properly or you will get an error. Important things to note are the length of the range and the session definition. The idea is that you would set it up for what's relevant to your trading. Going too far back in the chart history will cause errors. Setting the session for a time that is not on the chart can cause errors. If you set it to look farther back than there are bars to display, you may get an error. What I've found is that if you get an error, you just need to change the settings to reflect available data and it will be able to compile the script. At the time of its publishing, the default range start is set to 10/01/2020. If you're looking at this years later, you'll probably have to set the range to something more recent.
Features:
Plot or Lines:
Using Plot (displayed), the indicator will track the high/low from the end of the session into the next session. Then at the start of the next session, it will start tracking the high/low of that session until its end, then track that high/low until the start of the next session then reset.
Using lines, it will extend horizontal lines to the right indefinitely. The number of sessions back that the lines apply to is a user-defined number of sessions. There are limits to the number of lines that can be cast on a chart (roughly 40-50). So, the maximum number of sessions you can apply the lines to is the last 21 sessions (42 lines total). That gets really noisy though so I can't imagine that is a limiting factor.
Colors:
You can change the background color and its transparency, as well as turn the background color on or off.
You can change the highs and lows colors
You can adjust the line width to your preference
Session Length:
You can use a continuous session covering any user-defined period (provided its not tooooo many candles back)
You can define the session length for intraday
You can exclude weekends
Display Options:
You can adjust the colors, transparency, and linewidth
You can display the plotline or horizontal lines
You can show/hide the background color.
You can change how many sessions back the horizontal lines will track
Let me know if there's anything this script is missing or if you run into any issues that I might be able to help resolve.
Here's what it looks like with Lines for the last 5 sessions and different background color.
