ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.

ATR Trend Switch (ATR > k*ATR_SMA) - Overlay + Session Windows🔧 Core Logic
ATR Source: Multi-timeframe ATR (default 1H while trading 5m/15m).
Threshold Rule:
TREND = ATR > (ATR_SMA × k)
NORMAL = otherwise
Sessions: Only evaluates during London (02:00–07:00 ET) and New York (07:00–11:30 ET) by default.
Smoothing: ATR compared against its SMA (default 10-period).
k Multiplier: Controls sensitivity (default 1.20).
🖥️ Visuals
✅ TREND: Green label (or green background if enabled).
⚪ NORMAL: Gray label.
⏸️ OUT OF SESSION: Dim label, so you don’t force trades off-hours.
📊 Optional panel shows ATR, ATR_SMA, and Threshold values in real time.
📊 Dashboard + Overlay Combo
Use this overlay on your chart TF for tactical entries.
Pair with an ATR Dashboard (pane) on a higher TF (like 1H) for the strategic backdrop.
Overlay TREND + Dashboard TREND → High conviction trending environment.
Overlay TREND but Dashboard NORMAL → Fragile breakout, trade smaller or pass.
Both NORMAL → Chop/range → stick to 1:1.4 BE rules.
⚖️ Trading Playbook Integration
NORMAL Mode (ATR below threshold)
50% partial at 1R.
BE @ 1:1.4.
Runner capped at 2R.
TREND Mode (ATR above threshold)
50% partial at 1R.
BE @ 1:1.6.
Remainder trails ATR ×1.5.
Reserve ~15% of trend trades as no-partials for fat-tail home runs (4R–6R+).
🔔 Alerts
ATR Trend ON (in session) → “ATR > Threshold → Switch to TREND BE (1:1.6).”
ATR Trend OFF (in session) → “ATR ≤ Threshold → Switch to NORMAL BE (1:1.4).”
Perfect for getting pinged the moment volatility regime flips.
📌 Tips
k = 1.20 → balanced (default).
k = 1.10–1.15 → more TREND calls (sensitive).
k = 1.30+ → only strongest trends count.
Run it with overlay ON chart TF for execution, and dashboard on HTF for context.
Best used during active London/NY sessions.
✅ This isn’t a signal generator. It’s a regime filter + risk manager.
It keeps you from chasing chop and helps you mechanically switch BE rules without hesitation.
⚡ Pro tip: Combine with a Trend Continuation HUD, Elliott Wave Convergence overlay, or a Bollinger+RSI/MFI reversal scanner for a full tactical playbook.
Indices ALN SessionsIndices ALN Sessions - Pattern Analysis with Historical Probabilities
Overview
This indicator analyzes overnight trading patterns across Asia, London, and New York sessions for major index futures (NQ, ES, YM), providing real-time probability analysis based on 15 years of historical data (2010-2025).
Pattern Detection Methodology
The indicator detects four distinct overnight patterns by comparing session high/low relationships:
1. London Engulfs Asia
Condition: London High > Asia High AND London Low < Asia Low
Interpretation: London session completely engulfed the Asia range
2. Asia Engulfs London
Condition: Asia High > London High AND Asia Low < London Low
Interpretation: London session remained within Asia's range
3. London Partial Up
Condition: London High > Asia High AND London Low ≥ Asia Low
Interpretation: London broke Asia high but not its low
4. London Partial Down
Condition: London Low < Asia Low AND London High ≤ Asia High
Interpretation: London broke Asia low but not the high
Probability Calculation
Probabilities are derived from historical analysis of 1-minute price data spanning 2010-2025 across all three indices. The system tracks:
Primary Targets: Most likely level to be taken during NY session based on pattern
Secondary Targets: Second most likely level
Asia Targets: Probability of reaching untouched Asia levels (for partial patterns)
Engulfment Probability: Likelihood of NY session taking all four levels
Day-of-Week Specificity
Each pattern has unique probability profiles for Monday through Friday, as market behavior varies significantly by day. The indicator automatically selects the appropriate probability set based on the current trading day.
Conditional Probability Logic
The indicator dynamically adjusts probabilities as levels are taken during the NY session:
When the Primary target is taken first → Shows conditional probability for Secondary target
When Secondary is taken before Primary → Adjusts Primary probability based on historical sequences
Real-time tracking shows which levels have been hit with checkmark confirmations
How Probabilities Were Derived
Data was collected from 15 years of 1-minute futures data for NQ, ES, and YM. For each trading day:
Asia session high/low recorded (8:00 PM - 2:00 AM EST)
London session high/low recorded (2:00 AM - 8:00 AM EST)
Pattern type classified
NY session behavior tracked (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM EST)
Level breaks recorded with sequence order
Statistical frequencies calculated by pattern, day, and instrument
Sample sizes vary but typically include 200-500+ occurrences per pattern/day combination over the 15-year period.
Visual Components
Session Boxes: Color-coded rectangles showing Asia (Yellow), London (Blue), and NY (Red) sessions with their high/low ranges.
Pivot Lines: Horizontal lines marking session highs and lows that extend until broken or until the drawing cutoff time.
Pattern Labels: Automatic labeling at NY open identifying which of the four patterns has formed.
Probability Table: Real-time table showing:
Current pattern type
Instrument type (NQ/ES/YM) and day of week
Sample size (when using dynamic stats)
Primary, Secondary, and Asia target probabilities
Engulfment probability

[killerbee] MTF RetracementKey Features
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis: Plot the high, low, and open from up to four user-defined higher timeframes. This allows you to see the bigger picture and identify key levels that institutional traders are watching.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Lines are drawn at these key MTF levels and extend until price breaks through them, providing a clean and dynamic view of support and resistance.
Session Highlighting: Automatically draw boxes and high/low lines for the Asia, London, and RTH (Regular Trading Hours) sessions. This helps you understand the context of price action throughout the trading day.
Customizable Opening Price Lines: Pinpoint significant opening prices with dedicated lines for events like the "Midnight Open," "8:30 Open," and "9:30 Open."
"NQ STATS TABLE": A powerful statistical table that provides real-time insights:
Break/Hit Confirmation: Instantly see when a key MTF high/low has been broken or when an opening price has been retraced to.
9 AM Directional Bias: A bullish or bearish bias based on the close of the 9 AM (New York time) hourly candle.
Historical Probabilities: The table displays historical probabilities for price to either break a previous high/low or retrace to the open, based on the current hour of the trading session.
Extensive Customization: Nearly every visual aspect of the indicator can be customized to your preference, including colors, line styles, visibility of each component, and the position of the stats table.
How to Use
Identify Key Levels: The lines from the higher timeframes (HTF1, HTF2, etc.) represent significant support and resistance. Pay close attention to these levels as price approaches them.
Look for Breaks and Retracements:
When a high or low line is broken, the line will stop extending. This can signal a shift in market structure and a potential continuation in the direction of the break.
The "Open Line" for each timeframe represents the opening price. When the line stops extending, it means price has retraced back to that open, a common occurrence in the market.
Utilize the Sessions:
The Asia, London, and RTH boxes help you frame your trading day. The highs and lows of these sessions are often critical levels of support and resistance.
Breakouts from these session ranges can lead to strong directional moves.
Leverage the STATS TABLE:
Use the "Break" and "Hit" columns to quickly confirm when key levels have been breached or revisited.
The "Direction" row gives you a quick sentiment reading based on the 9 AM candle.
The "Trades Back %" and "High/Low Forms" provide a statistical edge by showing you the historical likelihood of certain price behaviors based on the time of day. This can help you decide whether to play for a breakout or a retracement.
Main Market Opener Breakout [RH]Based on my observations while analyzing the crypto and forex charts, particularly BTCUSDT and EURUSD, I have noticed that the prices exhibit significant movements during most stock market sessions, particularly during New York main market session.
With the aim of capturing these moves, I embarked on extensive research. Through this research, I discovered that by considering the very first "15m" or "30m" candle of the main market trading session and marking that first candle's high and low points, we can create potential trigger points.
A break above the high point indicates a bullish signal, while a break below the low point suggests a bearish signal. To further refine our analysis and filter out some noise, we can incorporate the Average True Range (ATR) value of that candle.
Candle time is very important here. We will mark the candle when the actual trading begins in New York stock exchange. The trading hours for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) typically begin at 9:30 AM and end at 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), Monday through Friday. This is known as the "NYSE Regular Trading Session." However, it's important to note that there are also pre-market and after-hours trading sessions that occur outside of these core hours. We will not consider these pre and after-hours.
Example:
First break-above and break-below is marked automatically and alerts are also available for first breaks.
Example:
I have also added the option to add the, London Stock Exchange Main Market and Tokyo Stock Exchange Regular Trading Session. You can add those sessions also and test with different symbols.
Stocks symbols from different stock exchanges just mark the very first candle of the day(main market trading session).
Alerts are available.
DR/IDR Candles [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays defining ranges (DR) and implied defining ranges (IDR) constructed from two user set sessions (RDR/ODR) as graphical candles on the chart. The script introduces additional graphical elements to the original DR/IDR concept and as such can be thought as a graphical method in addition to a technical indicator.
Additionally, this script can display various Fibonacci retracements from the constructed DR/IDR if enabled within the settings.
Settings
Regular Session: Enable/disable regular session's DR/IDR alongside setting the session time. By default, 09:30 - 10:30 am.
Overnight Session: Enable/disable overnight session's DR/IDR alongside setting the session time. By default, 03:00 - 04:00 am.
UTC Offset: UTC offset for the time zone, by default -5 (EST)
Retracements
Reverse: Inverts source range upper/lower value for constructing the retracements.
From: Source range used to construct the retracements, by default DR is used.
By default, the 0.5 retracement (average line) is displayed.
Usage
The used sessions are highlighted by a gray background. DRs are highlighted by dashed lines while IDRs are highlighted by solid ones. The maximum/minimum price between each user set session is highlighted by solid wicks.
The color of the DRs/IDRs/wicks are determined by the price position relative to the DR; if price is above the DR maximum, then a blue color is used. If price is below, then an orange color is used, and if price is within the DR range, then a gray color is used.
Additionally, the area of the DR range is used to highlight the number of time price is located within the DR, with a longer background highlighting a higher number of occurrences. This can help highlight if the DR levels were potentially useful as support/resistance.
When price is outside the IDR range, the area between the price and IDR is highlighted, in blue if price is above the IDR, and orange if it is under.
The original author of the DR/IDR concept describes 3 rules using the price position relative to the DR/IDR levels:
1.) If price on the 5-minute timeframe closes above the DR high after 10:30 AM or 04:00 AM then the DR low will likely be the low of the trading session.
2.) If price on the 5-minute timeframe closes below the DR low after 10:30 AM or 04:00 AM then the DR high will likely be the high of the trading session.
3.) If price closes above the IDR high after 10:30 AM or 04:00 AM it is an early indication that the low of the DR will be the low of the day and vice versa.
We can see that the above rules are cases of conditional probabilities.
There is no significant data supporting or regarding any statistical probability of the above rules to be true, which are more than uncertain given the stochastic nature of prices. The lack of precision of these rules is also a concern (time zone dependance, applicable markets, etc...).

Correlation HeatMap [TradingFinder] Sessions Data Science Stats🔵 Introduction
n financial markets, correlation describes the statistical relationship between the price movements of two assets and how they interact over time. It plays a key role in both trading and investing by helping analyze asset behavior, manage portfolio risk, and understand intermarket dynamics. The Correlation Heatmap is a visual tool that shows how the correlation between multiple assets and a central reference asset (the Main Symbol) changes over time.
It supports four market types forex, stocks, crypto, and a custom mode making it adaptable to different trading environments. The heatmap uses a color-coded grid where warmer tones represent stronger negative correlations and cooler tones indicate stronger positive ones. This intuitive color system allows traders to quickly identify when assets move together or diverge, offering real-time insights that go beyond traditional correlation tables.
🟣 How to Interpret the Heatmap Visually ?
Each cell represents the correlation between the main symbol and one compared asset at a specific time.
Warm colors (e.g. red, orange) suggest strong negative correlation as one asset rises, the other tends to fall.
Cool colors (e.g. blue, green) suggest strong positive correlation both assets tend to move in the same direction.
Lighter shades indicate weaker correlations, while darker shades indicate stronger correlations.
The heatmap updates over time, allowing users to detect changes in correlation during market events or trading sessions.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its ability to overlay global market sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or major equity opens directly onto the heatmap timeline. This alignment lets traders observe how correlation structures respond to real-world session changes. For example, they can spot when assets shift from being inversely correlated to moving together as a new session opens, potentially signaling new momentum or macro flow. The customizable symbol setup (including up to 20 compared assets) makes it ideal not only for forex and crypto traders but also for multi-asset and sector-based stock analysis.
🟣 Use Cases and Advantages
Analyze sector rotation in equities by tracking correlation to major indices like SPX or DJI.
Monitor altcoin behavior relative to Bitcoin to find early entry opportunities in crypto markets.
Detect changes in currency alignment with DXY across trading sessions in forex.
Identify correlation breakdowns during market volatility, signaling possible new trends.
Use correlation shifts as confirmation for trade setups or to hedge multi-asset exposure
🔵 How to Use
Correlation is one of the core concepts in financial analysis and allows traders to understand how assets behave in relation to one another. The Correlation Heatmap extends this idea by going beyond a simple number or static matrix. Instead, it presents a dynamic visual map of how correlations shift over time.
In this indicator, a Main Symbol is selected as the reference point for analysis. In standard modes such as forex, stocks, or crypto, the symbol currently shown on the main chart is automatically used as the main symbol. This allows users to begin correlation analysis right away without adjusting any settings.
The horizontal axis of the heatmap shows time, while the vertical axis lists the selected assets. Each cell on the heatmap shows the correlation between that asset and the main symbol at a given moment.
This approach is especially useful for intermarket analysis. In forex, for example, tracking how currency pairs like OANDA:EURUSD EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD GBPUSD, and PEPPERSTONE:AUDUSD AUDUSD correlate with TVC:DXY DXY can give insight into broader capital flow.
If these pairs start showing increasing positive correlation with DXY say, shifting from blue to light green it could signal the start of a new phase or reversal. Conversely, if negative correlation fades gradually, it may suggest weakening relationships and more independent or volatile movement.
In the crypto market, watching how altcoins correlate with Bitcoin can help identify ideal entry points in secondary assets. In the stock market, analyzing how companies within the same sector move in relation to a major index like SP:SPX SPX or DJ:DJI DJI is also a highly effective technique for both technical and fundamental analysts.
This indicator not only visualizes correlation but also displays major market sessions. When enabled, this feature helps traders observe how correlation behavior changes at the start of each session, whether it's Tokyo, London, New York, or the opening of stock exchanges. Many key shifts, breakouts, or reversals tend to happen around these times, and the heatmap makes them easy to spot.
Another important feature is the market selection mode. Users can switch between forex, crypto, stocks, or custom markets and see correlation behavior specific to each one. In custom mode, users can manually select any combination of symbols for more advanced or personalized analysis. This makes the heatmap valuable not only for forex traders but also for stock traders, crypto analysts, and multi-asset strategists.
Finally, the heatmap's color-coded design helps users make sense of the data quickly. Warm colors such as red and orange reflect stronger negative correlations, while cool colors like blue and green represent stronger positive relationships. This simplicity and clarity make the tool accessible to both beginners and experienced traders.
🔵 Settings
Correlation Period: Allows you to set how many historical bars are used for calculating correlation. A higher number means a smoother, slower-moving heatmap, while a lower number makes it more responsive to recent changes.
Select Market: Lets you choose between Forex, Stock, Crypto, or Custom. In the first three options, the chart’s active symbol is automatically used as the Main Symbol. In Custom mode, you can manually define the Main Symbol and up to 20 Compared Symbols.
Show Open Session: Enables the display of major trading sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or equity market opening hours directly on the timeline. This helps you connect correlation shifts with real-world market activity.
Market Mode: Lets you select whether the displayed sessions relate to the forex or stock market.
🔵 Conclusion
The Correlation Heatmap is a robust and flexible tool for analyzing the relationship between assets across different markets. By tracking how correlations change in real time, traders can better identify alignment or divergence between symbols and gain valuable insights into market structure.
Support for multiple asset classes, session overlays, and intuitive visual cues make this one of the most effective tools for intermarket analysis.
Whether you’re looking to manage portfolio risk, validate entry points, or simply understand capital flow across markets, this heatmap provides a clear and actionable perspective that you can rely on.
Last 10 Sessions: High, Low, Pivot, GapLast 10 Sessions: High, Low, Pivot, Gap
This indicator highlights the most important price levels from the last 10 completed trading sessions to help intraday and swing traders quickly spot potential support, resistance, and price reaction zones.
Key Features:
Previous Highs and Lows : Visualize the high and low from each of the past 10 sessions. These are the most commonly tested breakout and reversal points for day trading.
Session Pivots: The classic pivot formula ((High + Low + Close) / 3) for each of the last 10 sessions, often acting as a market “equilibrium” or intraday magnet.
Gaps: Displays the difference between each day’s open and the previous session’s close (“gap”), showing sentiment shifts and possible gap fill targets.
Clean, Faded Visuals: All lines and labels are subtly faded so your chart remains clear and uncluttered, with each level labeled by how many sessions ago it occurred.

Spot where multiple levels from past sessions cluster together for high-probability reversal or breakout areas.
Watch pivots for intraday bias, and gaps for sentiment and possible fill plays.
Perfect for all intraday timeframes.
If you want a powerful yet minimal map of where price is most likely to react, this indicator is for you!
Developed by
Essa's Indicator 2.0Essa's Indicator V2: Beginner's Guide
This custom TradingView indicator has been designed to help you identify key trading opportunities based on session highs/lows, volatility, and moving averages. Below is a breakdown of the main features:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
Fast EMA (Blue Line): Tracks the short-term market trend (default: 9-period EMA).
Slow EMA (Red Line): Tracks the longer-term market trend (default: 21-period EMA).
You can turn on/off the EMAs using the "Show EMAs" option in the settings.
EMAs help smooth out price action and give a clearer picture of trends. A crossover of the fast EMA above the slow EMA can signal an upward trend, while the reverse may indicate a downward trend.
2. Session Highs and Lows
The indicator tracks price highs and lows for three major trading sessions:
London Session (Red): Highlighted in red. Active between 08:00 and 17:00 (LDN timezone) or 03:00 and 12:00 (NY timezone).
New York Session (Blue): Highlighted in blue. Active between 12:00 and 21:00 (LDN timezone) or 07:00 and 16:00 (NY timezone).
Asia Session (Yellow): Highlighted in yellow. Active between 22:00 and 08:00 (LDN timezone) or 18:00 and 03:00 (NY timezone).
Highs and lows for each session are plotted on the chart as lines. Breakouts from these levels can signal important trading opportunities:
London High/Low: Red lines.
New York High/Low: Blue lines.
Asia High/Low: Yellow lines.
The background color also changes depending on the active session:
London: Light red background.
New York: Light blue background.
Asia: Light yellow background.
3. Breakout Alerts
You can set alerts when the price breaks above or below session highs/lows:
Break Above London High: Alert triggered when the price crosses the London session high.
Break Below London Low: Alert triggered when the price falls below the London session low.
Similar alerts exist for the New York and Asia sessions as well.
4. Volatility-Adjusted EMA
The EMAs in this indicator are adjusted based on volatility (ATR - Average True Range). This allows the EMAs to respond to market conditions more dynamically, giving you more accurate trend readings in volatile markets.
5. ZigZag Feature (Optional)
You can enable the ZigZag feature to help visualize the price action's highs and lows:
ZigZag Lines: Highlight major peaks and troughs in price movements, helping you spot trends more easily.
This is helpful for identifying reversals or trend continuations.
6. Fractal Markers
This indicator uses fractals to mark potential turning points in the market:
Green Triangles (Above the Price): Indicate up fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move upwards).
Red Triangles (Below the Price): Indicate down fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move downwards).
Fractals can be a helpful confirmation tool when identifying entry and exit points.
7. Custom Timezone Options
You can choose between London (LDN) and New York (NY) timezones in the settings to adapt the session times to your trading location. This ensures the session high/low markers are displayed correctly for your trading region.
By default, the New York (NY) timezone is enabled for FXCM charts in the UK.
For BTC charts, you will need to switch to the appropriate time zone manually.

MP SESSIONS, DST, OTTHere’s a clear description you can use for this script (for yourself or as a TradingView “Indicator Description”):
---
### MP SESSIONS, DST, OTT – What this indicator does
This script is a **multi-session market timing tool** that:
1. **Draws full trading sessions on the chart** (Asia, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Europe, London, New York, NYSE)
2. **Automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time (DST)** for Sydney, London, and New York
3. **Shows a live info table** with session times, DST status, and whether each session is currently open or closed
4. **Adds optional custom “OTT” vertical lines** at user-defined intraday times (for your own models, killzones, or time blocks)
---
### Main Features (high level)
#### 1. Market mode & time zone handling
* **Market Mode**:
* `Forex`
* `Stock`
* `User Custom` (you type your own session ranges)
* `TFlab suggestion` (predefined “optimized” session times)
* **Time Zone Mode**:
* `UTC`
* `Session Local Time` (local exchange time: Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York etc.)
* `Your Time Zone` (converts to the user-selected TZ, e.g. `UTC-4:00`)
* Handles separate time zones for:
* Asia, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Europe, London, New York, NYSE
* Has logic to **recalculate session start/end depending on DST** and the chosen mode.
---
#### 2. Daylight Saving Time (DST) engine
The function `DST_Detector`:
* Calculates when DST **starts and ends** for:
* `Australia/Sydney`
* `Europe/London`
* `America/New_York`
* Detects the correct Sunday (2nd, 4th, etc.) for start/end using day-of-week and week counts.
* Returns `'Active'` or `'Inactive'` for each region.
* These values are then used to **shift the sessions** (e.g. New York 13:00–21:00 vs 12:00–20:00 in UTC).
The script can also **draw vertical lines** on the chart when DST starts/ends and label them:
* “Sydney DST Started / Ended”
* “London DST Started / Ended”
* “New York DST Started / Ended”
---
#### 3. Session timing & sessions on the chart
The function `Market_TimeZone_Calculator`:
* Based on **Market Mode** + **Time Zone Mode** + **DST state**, it returns:
* Time ranges for: Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Asia (combined), Europe, London, New York, NYSE
* These ranges are in `"HHMM-HHMM"` format.
Then the script:
* Converts these to `time()` conditions using the proper time zone
* Creates boolean series like `On_sesAsia`, `On_sesEurope`, `On_sesNewYork`, etc., which are **1 when the session is open and 0 when closed**.
---
#### 4. Session high/low boxes & labels
The function `LowHighSessionDetector`:
* Tracks **high and low of each session** while it’s active.
* When a new session starts:
* Resets and starts recording the session high/low.
* While session is active:
* Updates `High` with the max of current bar high and previous session high.
* Updates `Low` with the min of current bar low and previous session low.
* When the session is "on":
* Draws a **box** from session low to high (`box.new`) and extends it to the right as long as the session continues.
* Places a **label with session name** (Asia, London, New York, etc.) near the high:
* Style depends on the session (down/right/left).
You have visibility toggles per session:
* `Asia Session`, `Sydney Session`, `Tokyo Session`, `Shanghai Session`, `Europe Session`, `London Session`, `New York Session`, `NYSE` (for TFlab mode).
So you visually see:
* A shaded box for each session
* The full H/L range for that session
* A text label with the session name.
---
#### 5. Info table
The indicator builds a **table in a corner of the chart** showing:
* Header:
* “FOREX Session”, “Stock Market Trading Hours”, “User Custom Session”, or “TFlab suggestion” depending on mode.
* Columns:
1. Session name (Asia, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Europe, London, New York, NYSE)
2. DST status for that region (“Active 🌞 / Inactive 🍂 / Not Observed”)
3. Session **start time**
4. Session **end time**
5. Current **status** (“Open / Closed”, with green/red background)
The function `SplitFunction`:
* Parses the `"HHMM-HHMM"` strings for each session.
* Converts them into:
* Either raw times (if viewing in UTC/session local)
* Or converted times in **Your Time Zone** using `timestamp` and `hour/ minute` with `YourTZ`.
* Returns formatted `Start` and `End` strings like `9:30`, `13:00`, etc.
So the table is effectively a **live session schedule** that:
* Auto-adjusts to DST
* Can show times in your own time zone
* Shows which session is open right now.
---
#### 6. OTT vertical lines (custom intraday markers)
At the bottom, there is an **OTT section** which lets you draw up to **three sets of vertical lines** at specific times:
* Each OTT block has:
* Enable toggle (`Enable OTT 1/2/3`)
* Start hour & minute
* End hour & minute
* Color
* Global OTT settings:
* Line style: `Solid / Dashed / Dotted`
* Line width
* Toggle: “Show OTT Labels?”
Logic:
* `is_ott_time()` checks if current bar’s `hour` and `minute` match the OTT input time.
* `draw_ott()`:
* When the bar time matches, draws a **vertical line** through the candle from low to high (`extend.both`).
* Optionally adds a label above the bar, like `"OTT1 Start"`, `"OTT1 End"`, etc.
Use cases:
* Marking **open/close of your trading session**
* Defining **killzones**, news times, or custom model windows
* Visual anchors for your intraday routine (NY open, 10 AM candle, etc.)
---
### TL;DR
This indicator is a **session toolkit + DST engine + time markers**:
* **Visually paints the main global sessions** with boxes and labels.
* **Handles DST automatically** for Sydney, London, New York.
* **Shows a live table** with session times, DST status, and open/closed status in your time zone.
* **Adds up to three configurable vertical time markers (OTT)** for custom session windows or key times.
If you want, I can also write a **short version** (2–3 sentences) for the TradingView “Description” field.
ALN Sessions Box Breakout — Auto- DSTDevoleper: Sheikh Rakib
What it does
This indicator draws session range boxes for Asia (Dhaka), London, and New York using each market’s own local time (DST-aware). After a session closes, it watches for the first close above the session high or below the session low and then marks that breakout once per session with clear chart markers and optional alerts.
Key features
Auto-DST, per-city timezones
London session uses Europe/London
New York session uses America/New_York
Asia session uses Asia/Dhaka
Your chart timezone doesn’t matter—the sessions track real local hours.
Clean range boxes with adjustable opacity and optional outlines.
Session labels that auto-center at the end of each session.
One-shot breakout signals per session:
Triangle up when price closes above the session high.
Triangle down when price closes below the session low.
Built-in alerts for: session starts and each breakout direction.
Inputs
London / New York / Asia (Dhaka)
Show Session: toggle each session on/off
Time Range: default London 08:00–17:00 (local), New York 08:00–17:00 (local), Asia 06:00–15:00 (Dhaka)
Colour: box color for each session
Settings
Show Session Labels
Show Range Outline
Opacity Preset: Dark / Medium / Light
(UTC Offset input is kept for display, not used in session detection.)
Visuals & alerts
Boxes extend from session open to close, continually updating the high/low.
When the session ends, the final high/low are locked in, the label is centered, and the indicator begins monitoring for a breakout.
Alerts
Session start: Asia/London/New York
Breakouts: “High Breakout” (close > high) and “Low Breakout” (close < low) for each session
Create alerts from the TradingView alert dialog and choose the desired alertcondition.
Logic notes (how signals fire)
While a session is open, its box grows to contain all highs/lows.
On the first bar after close, the script starts listening for a breakout:
Close > session high → one up signal (fires once)
Close < session low → one down signal (fires once)
When the next same session begins, internal flags reset and a new box starts—so signals are inherently scoped to the period between that session’s close and its next open.
Tips
Use on intraday timeframes (e.g., 1m–30m) for clearer box structure.
If you only want specific markets, toggle others off for a cleaner chart.
For systematic entries, combine with your trend/volatility filters and use the breakout alerts as triggers or confirmations—this script doesn’t place trades.
Disclaimer: Market timing and risk management are your responsibility. Past session behavior does not guarantee future performance.
Market Session Terrain Monitor v1.0Summary
Market Session Terrain Monitor helps traders understand where the market is within its normal intraday behavior, not where it should go. It is a decision-support tool designed to reduce late entries, over-trading, and narrative bias by grounding intraday analysis in historical session statistics.
Purpose
Market Session Terrain Monitor provides statistical context for intraday market movement by analyzing how much each major trading session typically moves, how much it has moved so far, and what market state the current session inherits from previous sessions.
The indicator is designed to answer one core question:
Is the current session early, normal, or already expanded relative to its historical behavior?
This indicator does not predict direction and does not generate buy or sell signals. It is intended as a context and state-awareness tool to support independent, structure-based decision making.
Sessions Analyzed
The trading day is divided into three independent sessions, defined in UTC time:
• Asia
• London
• New York
Each session is analyzed separately using its own historical data. No session is assumed to control or predict the behavior of another.
Session Range
For each session, the indicator measures the session range, defined as the session high minus the session low. This captures how much the market actually moved during that session, regardless of direction.
P90 Expansion Benchmark
For each session, the indicator calculates a P90 expansion benchmark.
• P90 represents the range that only about ten percent of historical sessions exceed
• It reflects a large but repeatable expansion, not an extreme outlier
• It is used as a normalization reference so sessions with different volatility characteristics can be compared on equal terms
The P90 values are displayed in the table header in price units, such as USD, as a reference for scale.
Percent of P90
Current and previous session ranges are expressed as a percentage of that session’s own P90.
This shows:
• How much of a statistically large session has already been used
• Whether the session is still early, behaving normally, or approaching expansion
Rolling Comparative Table
The table displays three rows, ordered by time and anchored to the current active session:
• Current · Session
• Previous · Session
• Previous-2 · Session
Each row shows:
• Session name
• Session range in price units
• Session range as a percentage of that session’s P90
This rolling layout provides context about the market state inherited by the current session without implying causality.
How to Use the Indicator
The indicator helps with:
• Identifying whether a session is early or late in its statistical range
• Avoiding entries when a session is already stretched
• Recognizing compression versus expansion regimes
• Understanding the market state the current session inherits
The indicator does not:
• Predict direction
• Forecast highs or lows
• Assume that one session determines the next
Directional decisions should come from price structure, execution rules, and risk management.
Design Philosophy
• Range first, direction second
• State awareness over narrative
• Statistical normalization instead of absolute numbers
• Comparative, not predictive
The indicator intentionally avoids estimating remaining range or subtracting previous session movement, as those approaches introduce bias and false causality.
Suitable Markets
• Gold and silver
• Forex pairs
• Indices
• Other liquid instruments with clear session behavior

ICT Time Based Liquidity Levels [Mariinus]Indicator Overview – Inspired by ICT Concepts
This indicator helps you spot where liquidity rests and where major price moves are likely to begin or end — giving you clarity for both entries and exits.
Inspired by the teachings of the Inner Circle Trader (ICT), this tool builds on his philosophies and principles that have reshaped how traders view price action. One of the most powerful lessons that stuck with me personally is his quote:
"Time & Price, where it is Time first and then Price”
Another fundamental concept that underpins this tool is the idea that:
"Price is constantly moving in cycles from Premium to Equilibrium, from Equilibrium to Discount from Discount back to Premium."
With these core ideas in mind, this indicator was developed to help traders who are already using an ICT-based framework and focus on Kill Zones and by this on Time Based Liquidity.
In addition to plotting Session Highs and Lows on your chart, the ICT Time Based Liquidity Levels indicator also includes derived levels that provide deeper market insight. These include the Equilibrium of the full Session Range (High to Low) as well as the Equilibrium of the Wicks – offering a more nuanced view of price balance and potential turning points, in line with ICT’s core concepts.
To make sure your chart is not cluttered with lines, you can select which levels to show – and more importantly – you can plot Session Candles next to your Chart. Unlike standard time-based candles (e.g. 4H candles), these are “true” Session Candles that reflect the actual OHLC of trading Sessions, making it easier and clearer to see how Sessions interact with each other.
Next to Intraday Highs and Lows, the indicator will also plot Daily and Weekly Liquidity Pools above and below the Market, giving you insights to where Price is most likely heading towards.
You can set Alerts that trigger whenever one of these key levels is tagged, so you stay focused without staring at the screen all day.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
This is not a standalone trading plan.
This is not a buy or sell signal generator.
Instead, this tool is designed to support traders who follow ICT principles by helping them identify higher-probability PD Arrays – the key levels where setups are more likely to occur. If your trading plan includes looking for specific PD Arrays and structural frameworks taught by ICT, then this indicator is a visual aid to refine and focus your attention on the areas where your framework has a higher probability of playing out.
⚙️ Explanation of the Settings
You can combine up to 6 Sessions to monitor their respective levels while operating on a lower timeframe. You can define the timings and a long and short naming of those Sessions.
In the Days Section you can Set a lookback period to control how far back you want to calculate levels. Next to that you can select which Daily and or Weekly Levels you want to have shown on your Charts together with choosing their coloring, style and width.
In the Candles Section you can define how the Session Candles will look like which are plotted next to your Chart. When you have multiple Days of Session Candles it can come in handy to mirror image the Candles which will plot the Candles from right to left instead of the default left to right. In addition you can control how far the distance is between the Candles and your chart, the distance between Candles and Days and the thickness of those Candles. Next you can show or hide the Equilibrium of the total Session Range and the Equilibrium of the Wicks.
In the Lines Section you can specify which Session Levels you want to see on your Chart together with choosing their coloring, style and width.
In the Labels Section you can specify which Labels you want to show and how you want to show them.
In the Openings Section you can specify to show the Midnight Open and or Weekly Open. In addition you can add a divider to be able to distinguish between multiple Days or Weeks.
In the Alert Section you can specify for which Sessions you want to get notified when Key Levels are tagged. After setting this up, you need to set an alert via the Tradingview Alert function to really activate the Alert Function. Be aware that when you change your Alert setup, you need to setup the Tradingview Alert function again.
💡 Example Use Cases
These examples are for educational purposes only. This tool is not financial advice and should always be used in conjunction with your own trading plan—whether it involves Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, or a custom combination of ICT-based elements.
Relative Average Extrapolation [ChartPrime]Relative Average Extrapolation (ChartPrime) is a new take on session averages, like the famous vwap . This indicator leverages patterns in the market by leveraging average-at-time to get a footprint of the average market conditions for the current time. This allows for a great estimate of market conditions throughout the day allowing for predictive forecasting. If we know what the market conditions are at a given time of day we can use this information to make assumptions about future market conditions. This is what allows us to estimate an entire session with fair accuracy. This indicator works on any intra-day time frame and will not work on time frames less than a minute, or time frames that are a day or greater in length. A unique aspect of this indicator is that it allows for analysis of pre and post market sessions independently from regular hours. This results in a cleaner and more usable vwap for each individual session. One drawback of this is that the indicator utilizes an average for the length of a session. Because of this, some after hour sessions will only have a partial estimation. The average and deviation bands will work past the point where it has been extrapolated to in this instance however. On low time frames due to the limited number of data points, the indicator can appear noisy.
Generally crypto doesn't have a consistent footprint making this indicator less suitable in crypto markets. Because of this we have implemented other weighting schemes to allow for more flexibility in the number of use cases for this indicator. Besides volume weighting we have also included time, volatility, and linear (none) weighting. Using any one of these weighting schemes will transform the vwap into a wma, volatility adjusted ma, or a simple moving average. All of the style are still session period and will become longer as the session progresses.
Relative Average Extrapolation (ChartPrime) works by storing data for each time step throughout the day by utilizing a custom indexing system. It takes the a key , ie hour/minute, and transforms it into an array index to stor the current data point in its unique array. From there we can take the current time of day and advance it by one step to retrieve the data point for the next bar index. This allows us to utilize the footprint the extrapolate into the future. We use the relative rate of change for the average, the relative deviation, and relative price position to extrapolate from the current point to the end of the session. This process is fast and effective and possibly easier to use than the built in map feature.
If you have used vwap before you should be familiar with the general settings for this indicator. We have made a point to make it as intuitive for anyone who is already used to using the standard vwap. You can pick the source for the average and adjust/enable the deviation bands multipliers in the settings group. The average period is what determines the number of days to use for the average-at-time. When it is set to 0 it will use all available data. Under "Extrapolation" you will find the settings for the estimation. "Direction Sensitivity" adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to the direction of the vwap. A higher number will allow it to change directions faster, where a lower number will make it more stable throughout the session. Under the "Style" section you will find all of the color and style adjustments to customize the appearance of this indicator.
Relative Average Extrapolation (ChartPrime) is an advanced and customizable session average indicator with the ability to estimate the direction and volatility of intra-day sessions. We hope you will find this script fascinating and useful in your trading and decision making. With its unique take on session weighting and forecasting, we believe it will be a secret weapon for traders for years to come.

Market Structure & Session Alerts### Market Structure & Session Alerts Indicator
#### Overview
The "Market Structure & Session Alerts" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to assist traders in identifying key market structure levels, detecting liquidity sweeps, and receiving alerts for specific trading sessions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to keep an eye on previous high and low levels and be alerted during pre-London and pre-New York sessions.
#### Features
1. **Previous High/Low Levels:**
- **Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Highs and Lows:** The indicator plots the previous day, week, and month high and low levels on the chart. These levels can be crucial for identifying support and resistance zones.
- **Toggle Display:** Users can choose to show or hide these levels using the "Show Previous Day/Week/Month High/Low" option.
2. **Liquidity Sweep Detection:**
- **Liquidity Sweep Identification:** The indicator detects liquidity sweeps when the current price closes above the previous day's high. This can signal potential reversals or continuations in the market.
- **Visual Alerts:** When a liquidity sweep is detected, a green triangle is plotted below the bar.
3. **Session Alerts:**
- **Session Timings:** Users can set specific start and end times for the pre-London and pre-New York sessions to match their timezone.
- **Visual Background Highlight:** The background of the chart is highlighted in yellow during the defined session times to provide a visual cue.

Price Action All In One IndicatorIf you are the one who is "Price Action" style & does not want to use many indicators or complex indicators or you are an ICT (The Inner Circle Trader)
student or ICT charter, this simple beautiful All In One Indicator is right for you.
The indicator has the following functions.
TIME ZONE SETTING
The default timezone is New York Time GMT-4, if you leave the time zone setting blank, it will use the symbol timezone. Note that the trading time changes with one hour delay in winter. so if you just trade forex, and leave the time zone setting blank, TradingView will adjust the symbol timezone automatically for you or don't forget to change the timezone setting GMT-4 or GMT-5 depending on daylight saving time.
STATISTIC PANEL
You can choose which panel to show through settings.
Session Info Panel : pips info of ADR, Asian, London, and New York sessions.
Trend Panel : showing trend (up/down) of
5m/15m/1h/4h/D/W time frames (TF)
4MA (default values: SMA with lengths: 20–50–100–200)
Money Management Panel : in trading, money management is very important. Just put the % risk, & stop loss value below, the indicator will calculate a suitable size/amount for each trade.
Size by Lots: input stop loss in pips
Size by Units: input stop loss in % (of price)
(*)Units size is calculated by % stop loss & current bar close price. You have to determine a stop-loss price to convert to % stop loss by yourself.
TIME SEPARATORS
We can choose which time separators we want to display. The indicator has 5 options: Anchor Time/Day/Week/Month/Quarter. Of course, we can choose to show just one or all 5 of them.
With Anchor Time you can choose which time you want to draw a vertical line for better timing analysis. This can show up to 2 Anchor Time lines. The default values are 00:00 (New York Midnight Opening) and 08:30 (New York Session Opening). You also have an option to show the past lines or not.
About Day Separator, cause TradingView has supported Session Breaks in Setting but if you don't like to use it or when enabling, it distracts you, you can use mine. My favorite trading dates are Tuesday & Wednesday.
PRICE LEVELS
For intraday trading, the high/low/close of the previous day, the previous week, ADR (default period is 5) are very important key levels. You can choose which one you like to show for better analysis. Of course, you can change the color & style of the lines. This is also my favorite indicator.
This indicator also has an option to show up to 2 price lines at a specific time, you can choose the price type (high/low/close/open) that you want to display. The default time values are:
Specific Time 1: 0:00. (New York Midnight Opening Price)
Specific Time 2: 8:30 am. (New York Session Opening Price)
ACCUMULATION ZONE
The market tends to reprice the higher/lower to the old high/low or imbalance/fair value price to promote buy/sell stops or to provide smart money pricing for long/short entries. Typically, it redistributes quickly and you must learn to anticipate them at key levels intraday. Weak short/long holders will be squeezed in the retracement.
Except for the open price, the price changes continuously until the closing time, so the accumulation area can also be changed in real-time, but if you combine it with other information when analyzing, you can predict/determine whether the zone has been established or not with high probability. In short, price needs time to be accumulated, I usually don't pay attention to this daily zone till London open/close or New York sessions
Not only daily zone, but the indicator also supports higher timeframes accumulation zone from
SESSION & STD
There are 3 sessions: Asian, London, New York. The default values are below (New York Time).
Asian: 19:00 ~ 00:00
London Open (London KillZone): 01:00 ~ 05:00
New York Open (New York KillZone): 07:00 ~ 10:00
If you do not want to show the label, just leave the label values blank or change them to whatever you want.
This is one of my favorite functions. I use it on 15m, 30m, 1h TF for Forex intraday trading. My favorite trading sessions are London Open & New York Open.
You also can choose to show or not Standard Deviations (STD). The default values are set for Asian Range STD and max STD levels can be shown are 5. I use the following 3 types of STD (New York Time):
CBDR (Central Bank Deviations) STD: 14:00 ~ 20:00
Flout STD: 15:00 ~00:00
Asian Range STD: 19:00 ~ 00:00
LOOKBACK HIGH/LOW/MID
Can show high/low/mid of the data ranges on the daily/4h chart. The default values are:
- 20–40–60 days back from today for daily TF.
- 30–60–90 bars back from the latest bar for 4h TF.
The default anchor bar for calculating the lookback is the latest one but with:
- 4h TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the week.
- Daily TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the month.
The indicator also has options showing the high/low/mid (equilibrium level) lines for better analysis. Especially, on daily TF, we have the option that can show up to 4 lines (25% for each one) of the data range.
Of course, you can change the colors or the style of the high/low/mid lines.
The lookback can be shown on the lower TFs for better detection when the market structure is shifted.
MAGIC BARS
Fractal bar : The bar's color is changed when the divergence occurs between the price & RSI. You can change the RSI period (default value is 14) & RSI source. (open/high/low/close,…)
Imbalance bar or liquidity void or fair value gap - whatever you call it. This is my favorite indicator when trading on all TFs.You can choose to extend the last n imbalance bars if you like in the settings. I make sure I covered all cases of imbalance/fair value gap.
OLD HIGH/LOW
First, this function is not used as the common Support & Resistance that retail traders usually use, so I call it Old High/Low. I usually use it in 2 ways:
Detect the next buy/sell stops that Market Makers aim to manipulate.
Detect whether market structure shifted or not (Break of structure)
In settings you can:
Set the period to detect high/low levels, the default value is 10. My other favorite values are 6 & 2.
On a lower time frame, you might want to set it to a large number to remove noise.
On a higher time frame, a small number is enough, I think.
Choose the numbers of the last lines you want to show on your chart.
Of course, the style of lines can be changed easily.
TRENDLINES
A very simple trendline with default pivot left strength is 10.
By default, trendline uses high/low price but you have the "Using close price" option.
LINEAR REGRESSION CHANNEL
The Linear Regression Channel is a three-line technical indicator used to analyze the upper and lower limits of an existing trend. It is a statistical tool used to predict the future from past data and is used to determine trend direction or when prices may be overextended.
You can choose
To fill the background or not
To show inner/outer lines or not
To change the colors/line styles of upper zone, lower zone, upper lines, lower lines, midline
DIRECTION BOX
Working on all TFs, this looks like the same with lookback function but if you would like to display them in a box for easily focusing/comparing with other symbols or for detecting divergence in a specific period. The indicator also has a setting to show or hide lines connecting between lows or highs.
Another example of how I use High/Low connecting lines to detect divergence between S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.
ZIG ZAG
Can show up to 2 ZigZag lines.
This is suitable for traders who have difficulty in detecting key levels (recent high/low) of the prices to confirm market structure or just for drawing Fibonacci easily at those levels.
MA (Moving Average)
I believe that this is one of the most used indicators for every trader. There are 5 types of MA to choose from: EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA(RMA).
This can show up to 4 MAs. You can choose the source (close/high/low,…) for each one. My favorite values are 34 & 89 EMA.
This indicator also supports MA Bands. You can select which MA you want to display the bands, and the "width" of the bands can be changed via the settings.
WATERMARK
It's just a simple function but I think it's very useful for those who want to add Copyright info to the chart, to prevent others from copying it.
Others/known issues/limitations
In forex or stock (things that are traded only on weekdays), TradingView's does not include the latest bars till Monday so the Day Separator cannot fill that space. Because TradingView deals with those bars as Sunday's ones so I set the color of Sunday the same as Friday for good UI/UX. On Crypto charts, the indicator shows without problems.
If you see "Internal server study error", please try closing the current TradingView tab in your browser and reopening it in a new tab. The error will disappear.
Because TradingView does not provide any detailed error information when such "general error" occurs. It's very difficult to detect which function is causing this error or is there something that caused TradingView "overloaded" through a long time running/loading on that tab? Honestly, I don't know exactly the cause, but in my experience, this error often occurs in the following cases:
When you have the TradingView Tab open for hours. In my case, I usually leave TradingView tab open overnight & when I come back the next day, this error might appear. (I'm a Mac user & I almost never shut down my Mac)
When you change settings too many times, especially settings of drawing objects like line width in a using session, it might cause this error.
So, after changing the setting or when you come back for the next trade, please save & close that TradingView tab, and then open a new one, everything will work fine.
You can see the images below that show I have tested my indicator from 1-minute time frame, enabled all functions, change every setting to max values & everything still works fine.

Volume with Sessions, SMA, and ATR Pine Script creates a custom volume indicator with several features, including:
SMA of Volume: It calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of the volume, which helps identify trends and determine if the current volume is above or below the average.
ATR (Average True Range): It calculates the ATR, which measures market volatility over a defined period.
Bullish/Bearish Volume Coloring: The script colors the volume bars depending on whether the price is moving up (bullish) or down (bearish), and whether the volume is above or below the SMA of volume.
Session Highlighting: It defines two major trading sessions:
NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) session from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
LSE (London Stock Exchange) session from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM GMT. These sessions are highlighted with background colors for easy identification.
Plotting: The volume is plotted as a histogram with varying colors depending on price movement and volume relative to its SMA. The ATR is also plotted as a purple line, and the SMA of volume is displayed as an orange line.
Background Colors: Background colors are applied during the NYSE and LSE sessions to visually differentiate between these trading periods.
Here's a breakdown of each section:
Key Inputs:
smaLength and atrLength: User-defined values for the lengths of the SMA and ATR calculations.
Main Calculations:
smaVolume: The SMA of the volume over the user-defined length (smaLength).
atrValue: The Average True Range over the user-defined length (atrLength).
Color Logic for Volume Bars:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, the volume is considered bullish, and the bar is colored green. If the volume is above the SMA, it’s a darker green; otherwise, it’s a lighter shade.
If the current close is lower than the previous close, the volume is considered bearish, and the bar is colored red. If the volume is above the SMA, it’s a darker red; otherwise, it’s a lighter red.
Plotting:
The script plots the volume as a histogram with dynamic coloring.
The SMA of the volume is plotted as a line.
ATR is plotted as a purple line for reference.
Background Color Highlighting:
The background is colored green during the NYSE session and blue during the LSE session.
ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones
Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.
The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
Combining kill zones and pivot points in financial market analysis provides several advantages :
Enhanced Market Sentiment Analysis : Aligns key price levels with high-activity periods for a clearer market sentiment.
Improved Timing for Trade Entries and Exits : Helps better time trades based on when price movements are most likely.
Higher Probability of Successful Trades : Increases the accuracy of predicting market movements and placing profitable trades.
Strategic Stop-Loss and Profit Target Placement : Allows for precise risk management by strategically setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Versatility Across Different Time Frames : Effective in both short and long time frames, suitable for various trading strategies.
Enhanced Trend Identification and Confirmation : Confirms trends using both pivot levels and high-activity periods, ensuring stronger trend validation.
In essence, this integrated approach enhances decision-making, optimizes trading performance, and improves risk management.
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points
There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.
