How It Works:
The indicator tracks the specified session period and calculates the session's open, high, low, and range. At the end of the session (9:00 AM by default), it projects all configured levels forward for the trading day. The statistical features analyze the last N sessions (you choose the number) to calculate typical extension behavior from either the session open or the session high/low points.
The z-score calculation helps identify whether the current session's range is normal, expanded, or contracted compared to recent history, allowing traders to adjust expectations for the rest of the day.
Use Case:
This indicator helps traders identify key support and resistance levels based on early session price action, understand current range context relative to historical averages, and spot potential reversal zones during specific time periods.
Note: This indicator is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Always perform your own analysis before making trading decisions.
Worldwide Sessions and Open Range BreakoutThis script shows when the various normal market hours for each of the major worldwide markets (Asia, New York, and London). It also draws a line on the opening range for each of these market sessions. The opening range defaults to the first 15 minutes of the session, but this can be customized.
This script does automatically handle the session times regardless of your time zone or what time frame you are on. No need to set anything! This probably can't handle non-normal trading days, such as partial days.
This script is made for futures, but would likely work for other markets, like Forex.

Apex Edge - London Open Session# Apex Edge - London Open Session Trading System
## Overview
The London Open Session indicator captures institutional price action during the first hour of the London forex session (8:00-9:00 AM GMT) and identifies high-probability breakout and retest opportunities. This system tracks the session's high/low range and generates precise entry signals when price breaks or retests these key institutional levels.
## Core Strategy
**Session Tracking**: Automatically identifies and marks the London Open session boundaries, creating a trading zone from the first hour's price range.
**Dual Entry Logic**:
- **Breakout Entries**: Triggers when price closes beyond the session high/low and continues in that direction
- **Retest Entries**: Activates when price returns to test the broken level as new support/resistance
**Performance Analytics**: Built-in win rate tracking displays real-time performance statistics over user-defined lookback periods, enabling data-driven optimization for each currency pair.
## Key Features
### Automated Zone Detection
- Precise London session timing with timezone offset controls
- Visual session boundaries with customizable colours
- Automatic high/low range calculation and display
### Smart Entry System
- Breakout confirmation requiring candle close beyond zone
- Retest detection with configurable pip distance tolerance
- Separate risk/reward ratios for breakout vs retest entries
- Visual entry arrows with clear trade direction labels
### Performance HUD
- Real-time win rate calculation over customizable periods (7-365 days)
- Total trades tracking with win/loss breakdown
- Average risk-reward ratio display
- Color-coded performance metrics (green >70%, yellow >50%, red <50%)
### PineConnector Integration
- Direct MT4/MT5 execution via PineConnector alerts
- Proper forex pip calculations for all currency pairs
- Customizable risk percentage per trade
- Symbol override capability for broker compatibility
- Automatic SL/TP level calculation in pips
## Critical Usage Requirements
### Pair-Specific Optimization
Each currency pair requires individual optimization due to varying volatility characteristics, institutional participation levels, and typical price ranges during London hours. The performance HUD is essential for identifying optimal settings before live trading.
**Recommended Testing Process**:
1. Apply indicator to desired currency pair and timeframe
2. Experiment with session timing - while 8:00-9:00 AM GMT is standard, some pairs may show improved performance with alternative hourly windows (e.g., 7:00-8:00 AM or 9:00-10:00 AM)
3. Adjust Stop Loss distances, Risk/Reward ratios, and Retest distances
4. Monitor win rate over 30+ day periods using the performance HUD
5. Only proceed with live alerts once consistent 60%+ win rates are achieved
6. Create separate optimized chart setups for each profitable pair/timeframe combination
### Timeframe Specifications
This indicator is specifically designed and tested for:
- **1-minute charts**: Optimal for capturing immediate institutional reactions
- **5-minute charts**: Balanced approach between noise reduction and opportunity frequency
Higher timeframes generally produce inferior results due to increased noise and reduced institutional edge during the London session window.
## Settings Configuration
### Session Timing
- **London Open/Close Hours**: Adjust for your chart's timezone
- **Rectangle End Time**: Set to 4:30 PM to stop signals before NY session close
- **Timezone Offset**: Ensure accurate London session capture
### Entry Parameters
- **Retest Distance**: 3-8 pips depending on pair volatility
- **Stop Loss Pips**: Separate settings for breakouts (10-15 pips) and retests (8-12 pips)
- **Risk/Reward Ratios**: Independent ratios for different entry types
### PineConnector Setup
- **License ID**: Your PineConnector license key
- **Symbol Override**: MT4/MT5 symbol names if different from TradingView
- **Risk Percentage**: Position size as percentage of account balance
- **Prefix/Comment**: Organize trades in terminal
## Manual Trading Limitations
Without PineConnector automation, traders face significant practical challenges:
**Settings Management**: Each currency pair requires different optimized parameters. Switching between charts means manually adjusting multiple settings each time, creating potential for errors and missed opportunities.
**Timing Sensitivity**: London Open signals can occur rapidly during high-volatility periods. Manual execution may result in slippage or missed entries.
**Multi-Pair Monitoring**: Tracking 4-11 currency pairs simultaneously while manually adjusting settings for each switch becomes impractical for most traders.
**Parameter Consistency**: Risk of using suboptimal settings when quickly switching between pairs, potentially compromising the careful optimization work.
## Recommended Workflow
1. **Historical Testing**: Use win rate HUD to identify profitable pairs and optimal parameters
2. **Demo Automation**: Test PineConnector alerts on demo accounts with optimized settings
3. **Live Implementation**: Deploy alerts only on proven profitable pair/timeframe combinations
4. **Ongoing Monitoring**: Regular review of performance metrics to maintain edge
## Risk Disclaimer
This indicator provides analysis tools and automation capabilities but does not guarantee profitable trading outcomes. Past performance does not predict future results. Users should thoroughly backtest and demo trade before risking live capital. The London session strategy works best during specific market conditions and may underperform during low volatility or unusual market environments.
## Support Requirements
Successful implementation requires:
- Basic understanding of London session market dynamics
- PineConnector subscription for automation features
- Patience for proper optimization process
- Realistic expectations about win rates and drawdown periods
This system is designed for serious traders willing to invest time in proper optimization and risk management rather than plug-and-play solutions.

Market Trading Sessions (TG Fork)Visualize trading sessions opening hours of several international exchanges on a grid. Contrary to other indicators, this one automatically aligns the session with the current chart's timezone.

This fork implements the following features:
Converted to PineScript v5.
Adapted default color palette to dark mode, as is the default in TradingView now.
Fix drawing issues, now the design shows as it was originally meant to be.
Fixed mistiming issue that made some sessions display with a delay compared to the real session, especially the first session was bar at the start of the session was not displayed.
Inputted the accurate timings for each session, instead of the default 0800-1600 in the original indicator.
Essentially, you can just add this indicator and it should work out of the box. If not, please let me know, and I'll try to fix it!
