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

SMC Fake Zones + InsideBarThis indicator is useful for whom trade with "Smart Money Concept (SMC)" strategy.
It helps SMD traders to identify fake or weak zones in the chart, So they can avoid taking position in this zones.
This indicator marks "Asia session" as well as "London and New York's Lunch Time (one hour before London and NY session starts)" zones.
It also marks Inside Bar candles which SMC trades consider as order flow. You can mark every Inside Bar or only those with opposite color via setting options.
*** As we know in SMC rules
1- Supply and Demand zones in "Asia session and Lunch Times" are fake zones for SMC trading and price will engulf them in most of times.
2- "Asia session high and low" has huge liquidity and usually price sweep that in London session.
This indicator will helps traders to visually identify those Fake zones and Asia session liquidity.
* You can change session times based on your time zone in settings.
* You can set options to show all Inside Bars or only with Opposite color in settings.
Monday Session High/LowThis script tracks and draw the High and the Low for Monday session across the whole week period.
Many crypto traders use the high and low extremes for Monday session as an confluence on how the price action during the week reacts against it.
Indian Market Sessions for BacktestingThis indicator is designed to increase the quality of your backtesting in the Indian Market.
NSE & BSE run from 9:15 am IST to 3:30 pm IST.

Feel free to drop your doubts in the comments.
Daily Gaps & Trapped PositionsThis script builds substantially upon the default Gaps script provided by Tradingview. Functionality was added to allow users to decide what price from the previous session is used to determine a daily gap, added support for showing gaps across all timeframes up to the daily time frame, and also allow gaps to be shown even with ETH enabled on the chart. This script provides support across normal securities, futures, and also crypto.
Users can decide between the following selections to determine if a daily gap has formed:
- Previous Session Close
- Previous Session High/Low
- Last RTH Candle High/Low
The other larger piece that was added is something called trapped positions or what some folks familiar with Market Profile would call "single prints". They could also be considered FVGs but they are a specific subset of FVGs as these must from above or below the current session's high/low.
Single prints form above or below a current session's high/low and can be considered an area where price has moved too fast in that area and price will most likely return to these areas at a later point in time. In some teachings, these are also looked at as "trapped shorts" (lighter blue box color) or "trapped supply" (yellow orange box color) which creates an area where there will be potential support (trapped shorts) or resistance (trapped supply) when this area is revisited in the future. Adding these to your chart will simply provide additional areas of interest where you may see buying or selling.
Both gaps and trapped positions have the following options:
- Show only active gaps/trapped positions. Selecting this will only show areas where price has not completely traded through the box.
- Close gaps/trapped positions partially. If this is selected, it will reduce the box size as price is traded through the area. If it is not selected, the box will only disappear once price has traded through the entire box completely.
There are some additional settings that allow you to tailor how many boxes show up on the chart. These settings are as follows:
- Max number of boxes. This setting will only plot up to this number of gaps/trapped positions.
- Minimum Deviation. This will prevent gaps/trapped positions from showing if they are too small relative to average across that last 14 periods.
- Limit Max Box Trail Length (bars). If checkbox is selected, the box will stop being extended after X number of bars given in this input.
SMC sessionzz by JelleThe main function of this indicator is to make it easy to identify several smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT practices by using a single indicator. The functions themselves are not my original content, but rather a collection of several scripts with some tweaking, combined into a single indicator.
Main functions:
- Provides the ability to set bar color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to set background color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to indicate NY and GMT midnight on the chart by plotting vertical lines
- Provides several smart features to turn bar color and background color on/off depending on the timeframe
Usage example:
- Easily determine each session high and low by using the bar color feature
- Easily determine the daily high and low by using the vertical midnight lines
- Easily determine ICT kill zones by setting background color for each session
- Easily avoid clutter on your chart by using the timeframe filters
ICT NY Futures Indices Session Model - YT New York MentorshipThis indicator plots out the time periods and open lines as outlined in ICT's 2022 Mentorship and is designed specifically for the New York futures trading session.
Time zone is set to GMT-4 (NY) by default but can be changed for accommodate daylight saving in the menu.
Please note this indicator is to be used only on the 30min timeframe and below.
Here are its features:
The background color shows the morning session, in two parts (8.30am to 9.30am and 9.30am to 11.30am), then a two hour gap for lunch (ICT calls this "Dead time") and finally, the afternoon session, also to two (1.30pm to 3pm and 3pm to 4pm).
It not only shows the current killzones, but future zones as well.
These times are important; trades can be framed within these zones as taught in the mentorship.
Next are the open lines. These lines are automatically plotted and can be areas for price to react off of; they are the opening price of a candle at these times:
00.00 (New York Midnight, also known as "True Day Open")
8.30am (New York Equities pre-open)
9.30am (New York Equities open)
2.00am (London Stock Exchange open)
And lastly, London's trading session High and Low are projected forward onto the New York trading session.
These two price points are areas of liquidity that were pooled during London, but they can also often set the high or low of the day.
Please let me know if there are any bugs or if you have suggestions for the next update.
MM Future Session TimesThis script projects the Open/Close of the Asia, UK and US sessions highlighting the Gaps & Deadzone within the market Maker Model.

Pre-Market + Daily + Weekly REGULAR HOURS 📦 Pre-Market + Daily + Weekly RTH Range Boxes
This indicator automatically plots Pre-Market, Daily, and Weekly range boxes based strictly on US Regular Trading Hours (RTH).
What it does:
Pre-Market Box (04:00–09:30)
Captures the full pre-market high and low, then projects the range forward from the RTH open.
Daily RTH Box (09:30–16:00)
Tracks the previous day’s regular session high and low and plots the range starting at 04:00 AM the next day.
Weekly RTH Box (Mon–Fri, 09:30–16:00)
Accumulates the full weekly RTH range and plots it at 04:00 AM on Monday.
Opening Range + Prev/Pre/Post Market Hi/Lo
Tracks each day’s regular-session high/low and their bar_index.
On a new day, stores those as “prev day” values.
Draws the prev-day lines anchored at the actual high/low bars from yesterday, then extends them across today (and beyond).
GutroThis TradingView indicator automatically plots Fibonacci retracement levels based on the day’s first confirmed swing between the session high and low (9:30 AM – 4 PM ET). It includes dynamic 0%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100% levels, a shaded golden zone, VWAP bands with standard-deviation envelopes, and a 9/21 EMA ribbon for trend confirmation.
Gold H1 Breakout Failure (V11.0)This strategy is designed for trading XAU/USD (Gold) on the 1-hour timeframe. It identifies and trades fake breakouts of the Asian session range.
The logic is simple yet effective:
The script first marks the Asian session high and low.
Once price breaks out of this range and closes outside, it waits for confirmation by watching for price to close back inside the range.
When this re-entry occurs, the strategy takes a position in the opposite direction of the initial breakout, anticipating a false breakout or liquidity trap setup.
By focusing on these fakeouts, the strategy aims to capture reversal momentum after liquidity sweeps, making it especially effective during sessions when volatility transitions from Asia to London or New York.
ShockDrop Alerts v1⚡ ShockDrop Alerts — Rapid Drop & Drawdown Detector
ShockDrop Alerts helps you react instantly to sudden market shocks.
It tracks both fast price drops and intraday drawdowns, plotting clean visual arrows and sending alerts when volatility spikes — so you can respond before small dips turn into major moves.
⚙️ How It Works
• Fast Drop (FAST) – detects sharp declines (e.g. 2 % in 4 minutes) using 1-minute data across any timeframe.
• Drawdown (DD) – triggers when price trades a set percentage below the day’s session high (e.g. 2 %).
Each alert type has its own independent cooldown timer and can be toggled on or off.
🎯 What You’ll See
• FAST → 🔴 red arrow above the bar (rapid drop detection)
• DD → 🟠 orange arrow below the bar (intraday drawdown)
These appear only when your defined conditions are met. Connect them to TradingView alerts for instant popup, email, mobile, or webhook notifications.
🧭 Key Features
• Detects high-velocity price shocks in real time
• Separate cooldowns for FAST and DD triggers
• Extended-hours toggle to include pre/post-market data
• Clean, clutter-free visuals — only actionable arrows
• Uses 1-minute precision data, works on any symbol or timeframe

Z-Score Multi-Model ClusteringA price/volume clustering framework combining three market behavior models into a single indicator. Designed to help identify emerging trend strength, turning points, and volatility-driven entries or exits.
🔍 How It Works
This indicator classifies market states by comparing normalized price/volume behavior (via Z-Score) to different types of statistical or geometric "cluster centers." You can choose from three clustering approaches:
🧠 Clustering Models
1. Percentile (Z+CVD) – Trend Momentum Bias
Uses volume Z-Score + Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD).
Detects institutional pressure by clustering volume surges with directional delta.
Best for: Breakouts, momentum trades, volume-led reversals.
Cluster Colors:
🔹 Green triangle = Strong bullish confluence
🔻 Red triangle = Bearish divergence (bull trap risk)
⚪ Gray = Neutral/low conviction
2. Euclidean (Z+Slope) – Swing Mean-Reversion
Measures the angle of recent Z-score slope and compares it to directional cluster centers.
Helps detect early directional shifts or exhaustion.
Best for: Swing entries, pullback setups, exit timing
3. Hilbert Phase – Turn Detection via Signal Phase
Applies Hilbert Transform to the Z-Score, measuring the phase difference between trend and oscillator components.
Ideal for anticipating turns or detecting cyclical inflection points.
Useful for: Scalping, top/bottom spotting, volatility fades
✅ Features
Auto-updating cluster logic based on current data
Tooltips and clean user interface
Optional cluster bar coloring (can be toggled off)
Signal-only plotting keeps candlesticks readable
Clear entry/exit logic with triangle markers
Supports trend, swing, and oscillation-based systems
🛠️ Suggested Use Cases
Combine with VWAP, Session High/Low, or Liquidity Zones to confirm entry conditions.
Use Cluster 2 (strong bullish) on pullbacks to trend structure for add-on entries.
Use Cluster 1 in strong trends to watch for potential traps or exits.
Toggle models based on your strategy: e.g., Hilbert for scalping, Percentile for macro trend breaks.
🧪 Best Timeframes
Works across all markets and timeframes
For Percentile (Z+CVD), use intraday TF with 1m–5m CVD source
Hilbert and Euclidean preferred on 5m–1h for accurate slope/phase signals
⚠️ Notes
Clusters do not generate trade signals alone; use them in context with structure, VWAP, or trend filters.
Marker signals are filtered with a magnitude threshold to reduce noise.
Candles by Day, Time, Month + StatsThis Pine Script allows you to filter and display candles based on:
📅 Specific days of the week
🕒 Custom intraday time ranges (e.g., 9:15 to 10:30)
📆 Selected months
📊 Shows stats for each filtered block:
🔼 Range (High – Low)
📏 Average candle body size
⚙️ Key Features:
✅ Filter by day, time, and month
🎛 Toggle to show/hide the stats label
🟩 Candles are drawn only for selected conditions
📍 Stats label is positioned above session high (adjustable)
⚠️ Important Setup Instructions:
✅ 1. Use it on a blank chart
To avoid overlaying with default candles:
Open the chart of your preferred symbol
Click on the chart type (top toolbar: "Candles", "Bars", etc.)
Select "Blank" from the dropdown (this will hide all native candles)
Apply this indicator
This ensures only the filtered candles from the script are visible.
Adjust for your local timezone
This script uses a hardcoded timezone: "Asia/Kolkata"
If you are in a different timezone, change it to your own (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", etc.) in all instances of:
time(timeframe.period, "Asia/Kolkata")
timestamp("Asia/Kolkata", ...)
Use Cases:
Opening range behavior on specific weekdays/months
Detecting market anomalies during exact windows
Building visual logs of preferred trade hours
QT NY Session High/LowShows Asia & London High/Low which are key liquidity points price will react to.
You can also adjust the NY AM 6am - 12pm EST range to divide the time frames into 4 quarters
It delivers NY AM true open and the true day open
It gives you previous day high & previous day low
Daily Session Fibonacci LevelsPlots automatic Fibonacci retracement levels based on the current session high and low.
Levels for the prior and current session can be toggled on/off.
Optional: Toggle to show the Fibonacci Level labels.
Allows for customizable levels and colors; toggles for individual levels.
Multiple Timeframe LevelsThe multiple timeframe levels indicator plots the following lines on your chart:
Previous day's high, low, and midpoint
Previous week's high, low, and midpoint
Previous month's high, low, and midpoint
Overnight session high, low, and midpoint
This indicator makes it easy to plot the high timeframe levels on your chart so that you can focus on your preferred timeframe for trading. This can be used however you see fit. These levels are great for finding support and resistance, setting your stop losses and take profits, looking for reversals, etc.
You can customize this script my enabling/disabling the timeframe's high/low or midpoint as well as the color.
London Killzone + Deviations[MK]For traders that use the London Killzone session high/low to project possible take profit targets.
The indicator will determine the current day London killzone high and low range and draw a range box to the right of the last candle on the chart. Drawing to the right of the chart keeps the workspace cleaner.
The high/low range is then used to project Standard Deviation levels above and below the London range.
Levels projected are +/- 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4.
Users of the script should conduct proper backtesting using a large data range before applying to live accounts.
