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.

ka66: FX Sessions High/LowThis indicator is specific to the 24-hour Forex Market. It provides 2 features:
Demarcating forex sessions with open and close lines. Note that looking at various sources online, we use the convention that the Asia session starts with the Tokyo market open, rather than the earlier Sydney session. Presumably this is better since we then have more liquidity in the market. Note that we have three sessions: Asia, London, New York.
At the end of each session, we begin plotting that (closed) session's high and low, which acts as a natural support and resistance for the Forex market. This is the key feature it provides. The first feature is mainly there for a visual guide, which can be turned off via the UI settings, but it certainly helps verifying the logic!
For more background, we are taking the idea of Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), but adjusting it to a multi-session market like Forex. In essence, this is is a "Previous Session High/Low" indicator.
PDH/PDL works fine when you have a market with Regular Trading Hours, ignoring Extended Hours. However, in the Forex market, each session can have differing sentiments, e.g. we often see say London bringing prices up, and New York bringing them back down.
The break of session high/lows (or bouncing off them) can reflect where the potential direction price is going to take.
I also categorised this as a Sentiment indicator, because support and resistance areas where prices react do provide the sentiment of the market. They aren't just lines, they are prices of interest to major players.
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.
MainFX session indicatorScript Title: MainFX Session Indicator with Customizable Lines
Overview:
This script is designed to help traders visually identify key market sessions on their TradingView charts. It marks both the opening and closing of major sessions (Frankfurt, London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo) by drawing lines and labels on the chart. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing you to define specific session times, choose your preferred time zone, and adjust the visual appearance of all lines.
Key Features:
Custom Session Times:
Each session’s start and end times are defined by user inputs in a simple HHMM-HHMM format. This means you can adjust the sessions to match the exact market hours you follow, making the indicator flexible for different trading strategies and markets.
Time Zone Flexibility:
The "Chart/Local Time Zone" input lets you override the default time zone of your chart. By setting a specific time zone (e.g., "Africa/Lagos" or "Africa/Accra"), the script calculates session start and end events relative to that zone. This ensures that, regardless of where you are trading from, the session markers accurately reflect the intended market hours and adjust automatically for Daylight Saving Time if applicable.
Open Range Levels (ORH/ORL):
When a session opens or closes, the script draws horizontal lines at the high and low of the candle immediately before the event. These levels act as the Open Range High (ORH) and Open Range Low (ORL) markers. They serve as key reference points for traders to gauge price levels established just before a session change.
Customizable Visuals:
Every visual element is customizable. You can adjust the color, width, and style (defaulting to a dotted line) of both the ORH/ORL lines and the combined session lines that label open and close events. This allows you to tailor the indicator to match your charting style and ensure that the lines stand out clearly.
Session Event Detection:
The script utilizes helper functions to check each bar on the chart. It compares the current bar’s session status with that of the previous bar to determine whether a session has just started or ended. When such a transition is detected, it triggers the drawing of the appropriate lines and labels.
Optimized for Intraday Trading:
Since the script’s functionality is based on minute-level bar changes, it is best used on 1-minute or lower timeframes. This ensures precision in marking the exact moments when sessions transition, which is critical for intraday trading strategies.
How It Works:
Session Timing:
The script calculates the session periods using the time() function with the user-defined session strings and time zone. This makes it independent of the chart’s inherent time settings.
Event Triggering:
When the current bar transitions into or out of a session (i.e., the session status changes between bars), the script detects this change. It then draws horizontal lines at the previous candle’s high and low (marking ORH and ORL) and adds session labels for clarity.
Visual Customization:
Users can easily change the appearance of the drawn lines and session labels via the script’s input options, ensuring that the indicators are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally clear.
Usage:
For Traders:
Use this indicator to keep track of critical market sessions and to spot participants in the session.
Customization:
Adjust session times and the time zone to suit your local market or the specific market you are analyzing.
Visual Clarity:
Customize line styles to ensure that your chart remains clear and that the session markers are easy to interpret even during overlapping sessions.

New York, London and custom trading sessionsHi Traders
The script :
The Time sessions script plots the trading sessions of both New York and London markets (background fills), In addition to the above the script also plots a user defined trading session period (vertical lines). All plots may be toggled true or false inorder to ensure you can focus on the respective market / markets / custom session.
Market sessions are useful for technical or quantitative analysis, as the majority of trading activity and net daily volume occurs in these zones, in fact the U.S./London market overlap tends to have the greatest volume accumulation across that range of time / bars than that range at any other time within the daily session. For FX traders it may also be important to take into account for many currency pairs the average exchange rate pip movement is greatest within these zones.
The custom session, is intended to be used for traders who trade only within specific intervals within the market session or day for 24/7 traded asset classes
Additional notes :
Not as of now, I have only added three optional trading sessions. If you would like to change the sessions, copy the scripts code and change the "ctm_session" default time range value, insuring the second time value is 1 min > than the first.
As always i Hope this is a useful script, and I will be updating this script in the near future.
Multi-Session ORBThe Multi-Session ORB Indicator is a customizable Pine Script (version 6) tool designed for TradingView to plot Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It allows traders to define specific ORB durations and session times in Central Daylight Time (CDT), making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. Customizable ORB Duration: Users can set the ORB duration (default: 15 minutes) via the inputMax parameter, determining the time window for calculating the high and low of each session’s opening range.
2. Flexible Session Times: The indicator supports user-defined session and ORB times for:
◦ Sydney: Default ORB (17:00–17:15 CDT), Session (17:00–01:00 CDT)
◦ Tokyo: Default ORB (19:00–19:15 CDT), Session (19:00–04:00 CDT)
◦ London: Default ORB (02:00–02:15 CDT), Session (02:00–11:00 CDT)
◦ New York: Default ORB (08:30–08:45 CDT), Session (08:30–16:00 CDT)
3. Session-Specific ORB Levels: For each session, the indicator calculates and tracks the high and low prices during the specified ORB period. These levels are updated dynamically if new highs or lows occur within the ORB timeframe.
4. Visual Representation:
◦ ORB high and low lines are plotted only during their respective session times, ensuring clarity.
◦ Each session’s lines are color-coded for easy identification:
▪ Sydney: Light Yellow (high), Dark Yellow (low)
▪ Tokyo: Light Pink (high), Dark Pink (low)
▪ London: Light Blue (high), Dark Blue (low)
▪ New York: Light Purple (high), Dark Purple (low)
◦ Lines are drawn with a linewidth of 2 and disappear when the session ends or if the timeframe is not intraday (or exceeds the ORB duration).
5. Intraday Compatibility: The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts) and only displays when the chart’s timeframe multiplier is less than or equal to the ORB duration.
How It Works:
• Session Detection: The script uses the time() function to check if the current bar falls within the user-defined ORB or session time windows, accounting for all days of the week.
• ORB Logic: At the start of each session’s ORB period, the script initializes the high and low based on the first bar’s prices. It then updates these levels if subsequent bars within the ORB period exceed the current high or fall below the current low.
• Plotting: ORB levels are plotted as horizontal lines during the respective session, with visibility controlled to avoid clutter outside session times or on incompatible timeframes.
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to identify key breakout levels for each trading session, facilitating strategies based on price action around the opening range. The flexibility to adjust ORB and session times makes it suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, or futures) and time zones.
Limitations:
• The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes and may not display on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly) or if the timeframe multiplier exceeds the ORB duration.
• Time inputs are in CDT, requiring users to adjust for their local timezone or market requirements.
• If you need to use this for GC/CL/SPY/QQQ you have to adjust the times by one hour.
This indicator is ideal for traders focusing on session-based breakout strategies, offering clear visualization and customization for global market sessions.
Forex Session Volume ExplorerFigure out the best time to trade your favorite Currency Pair, Commodity, or Crypto!

RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.

These levels are plotted with different colors for visual reference.
Signal Logic:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the current bar is a turning point (according to the ATT model), the RSI is below the oversold threshold, and the current time is within the active session times (New York, London, or Asia).
Sell Signal: Triggered when the current bar is a turning point, the RSI is above the overbought threshold, and the current time is within the active session times.
Signal Limitations:
A user-defined limit (max_signals_per_session) controls the maximum number of signals that can be plotted within each session. This prevents excessive signal generation.
Plotting and Background Highlights:
Buy and Sell Signals: The script plots shapes (labels) above or below the bars to indicate buy or sell signals when the conditions are met.
Background Highlight: The background color is highlighted in yellow when the current bar matches one of the defined ATT turning points.
In Summary:
The indicator combines multiple technical factors to generate trading signals:
Turning points in price action (based on custom ATT numbers),
RSI levels (overbought/oversold),
Market session times (New York, London, Asia),
Key price levels (daily and weekly highs and lows).
This combination helps traders identify potential buying and selling opportunities while considering broader market dynamics and limiting the number of signals during each session.
Global Sessions with Trend & Liquidity Features:
-Session ranges with customizable lines & colors
-Opening range markers and optional background shading
-Automatic trend detection per session (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
-Indicators when highs/lows are broken
-Clean visual design with toggles for minimal or detailed display
This Pine Script code is designed to help traders visualize and analyze different market sessions. It's a tool that displays the trading hours for the Asian, London, and New York sessions right on the chart.
The main purpose is to show when these key markets are open and to highlight their price ranges. It also includes features to track the trend within each session and to identify "liquidity sweeps" or moments when the price breaks the high or low of a previous session.
In simple terms, it helps a trader see what the market is doing and where the price is likely to go, all based on the major global trading times. It's especially useful for day traders who want to align their strategies with the activity of specific markets.
P.S. Apologies to users not in the EST timezone! This version is hardcoded to Eastern Standard Time, and I'm not currently sure how to automatically adjust it for different timezones. But you can adjust manually and click the dropdown menu to Save As Default.

Full Session ATR Range (Live) - with Position ToggleBelow is a publication-ready text for the "Full Session ATR Range (Live) - with Position Toggle" indicator, written in a professional yet accessible style suitable for a trading community (e.g., TradingView or a blog). The text highlights the indicator's features, usage, and benefits, while avoiding overly technical jargon for a broad audience.

### Introducing the Full Session ATR Range (Live) Indicator with Position Toggle
Enhance your trading strategy with the **Full Session ATR Range (Live) Indicator**, a powerful tool designed to provide real-time insights into market volatility and session dynamics. This customizable indicator, now available with a position toggle feature, compares the current session's range to a 10-day Average True Range (ATR), helping traders gauge market activity and anticipate potential movements.
#### Key Features
- **Live Range Tracking**: Displays the current session's range (high minus low) alongside a 10-day ATR, updated in real-time during market hours.
- **Session Mode Flexibility**: Includes an auto-toggle option to switch between Electronic Trading Hours (ETH) and Regular Trading Hours (RTH), adapting to your preferred trading session. Manually select ETH or RTH, or let the indicator auto-detect based on market hours.
- **Comprehensive Metrics**: Offers a detailed breakdown including:
- Range/Avg %: Percentage of the current range relative to the 10-day ATR.
- Points Left: Remaining points to reach the average range.
- 100% Range Up/Dn: Potential upper and lower targets based on the ATR difference.
- **Position Customization**: Adjust the table's location on your chart with options like top-left, top-right, middle-center, or bottom-right for optimal visibility.
- **Visual Appeal**: Features a customizable background and text color to match your chart theme.
#### How It Works
The indicator calculates the 10-day ATR using daily data and tracks the current session's range, resetting at the start of each day or session change. During market hours (e.g., 6 AM - 8 PM CDT, adjustable), it updates live, providing actionable insights. When the market is closed, it displays historical ATR while marking live metrics as "n/a" to avoid confusion. The ETH/RTH toggle ensures the range reflects either the full extended session or the core trading hours, tailored to your strategy.
#### Why Use It?
Whether you're a day trader monitoring intraday volatility or a swing trader assessing longer-term trends, this indicator helps you:
- Identify overextended or underactive sessions compared to historical norms.
- Plan entries and exits with targets based on the 100% Range Up/Dn levels.
- Stay informed with a clean, adjustable display that fits your workflow.
#### Installation & Customization
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Adjust the ATR length (default: 10 days) and table position via the input settings.
3. Choose your session mode (Auto, ETH, or RTH) and customize colors to suit your style.
4. Test during market hours for live updates—note that static values may appear outside trading sessions.

Advanced Session Profile Predictor with SR Boxes & ORAdvanced Session Profile Predictor with Momentum Arrows
Designed for intraday traders, this indicator analyzes price action across Asia, London, and New York sessions to predict market profiles and highlight key trading opportunities. By combining session-based profiling, Opening Range (OR) visualization, and momentum signals from Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), it offers a unique tool for anticipating trends, reversals, and breakouts. Ideal for forex, indices, and crypto on 15M–1H charts.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike typical session indicators that only mark time zones or standard TDI scripts that focus on momentum, this tool:
Predicts market profiles (e.g., "Trend Continuation," "NY Manipulation") by analyzing session ranges and directional moves, offering actionable insights into how sessions interact.
Visualizes Opening Range (OR) boxes for the first 15 minutes of each session, helping traders spot early breakout levels.
Integrates TDI with momentum to generate precise bullish/bearish arrows, filtered by session context for improved reliability.
Simplifies decision-making with dynamic profile labels showing real-time long/short conditions based on price levels.
How Does It Work?
Session Tracking:
Asia (00:00–08:00 UTC, yellow), London (08:00–16:00 UTC, red), and New York (13:00–21:00 UTC, blue) sessions are highlighted with background colors and high/low lines (crosses).
OR boxes (first 15 minutes) are drawn for each session: yellow for Asia, red for London, blue for NY.
Profile Prediction:
Compares Asia and London session ranges and directions (e.g., trending if range > 1.5x 5-period SMA).
Examples:
Trend Continuation: Asia and London trend in the same direction—long above Asia high (uptrend) or short below Asia low (downtrend).
NY Manipulation: Asia trends, London consolidates—watch for NY breakouts at London high/low.
Displays the predicted profile and entry conditions in labels (e.g., "IF price hits 1.2000 LONG").
Momentum Arrows:
Uses TDI (RSI period 21, bands 34, fast MA 2) and 12-period momentum.
Green up arrow: Fast MA > upper band (>68) and momentum rising (bullish).
Red down arrow: Fast MA < lower band (<32) and momentum falling (bearish).
Support/Resistance (SR):
Plots dynamic SR boxes based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume (inspired by ChartPrime’s methodology, credited below).
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to a 15M–1H chart. Adjust time zone (default: UTC) and session times if needed. Customize TDI/momentum settings for sensitivity.
Trading:
Check the top-right labels for the current profile and entry conditions (e.g., "IF price hits LONG/SHORT").
Confirm entries with green up arrows (bullish) or red down arrows (bearish).
Use OR boxes and session high/low lines to identify breakout or reversal levels.
Example: In "NY Manipulation," wait for price to hit London high (long) or low (short) during NY session, confirmed by an arrow.
Best Markets: Forex (EUR/USD), indices (SPX500), crypto (BTC/USD) with sufficient intraday volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Session Profiling: Detects trends (range > SMA * threshold) and manipulation (e.g., London breaking Asia’s high/low) to predict NY behavior.
OR Boxes: Marks the first 15 minutes’ high/low as a breakout zone (time-based, 900,000 ms).
TDI + Momentum: Combines RSI-based bands with price change (close – close ) for momentum signals.
SR Boxes: Identifies pivots over a lookback period (default 20), scaled by ATR and filtered by volume thresholds.
Credits
The SR box logic is inspired by ChartPrime’s volume-filtered support/resistance methodology, adapted with custom breakout/hold detection. Original authors are credited for their foundational work.
Chart Setup
Displays session backgrounds, OR boxes, high/low lines, TDI arrows, and profile labels. Keep other indicators off for clarity.
New York Sessions Morning, Lunch and afternoon. AMKDescription
The script is designed to highlight the New York Stock Exchange's trading day, broken down into three specific sub-sessions: morning, lunchtime, and afternoon. Each sub-session is color-coded to provide an immediate visual cue about which portion of the trading day is currently active. Additionally, this script allows the user to adjust the time zone offset, making it adaptable for traders in different time zones around the world.
Originality
While there are scripts that highlight the entire trading day or specific market hours, this script adds granularity by breaking down the New York trading session into its typical behavioral parts: the morning rush, the lunchtime lull, and the afternoon action. The addition of an adjustable time zone offset is a unique feature that makes the tool more versatile and accommodating to a global user base.
Usefulness
The ability to visualize these different trading sessions can be valuable for various types of traders:
Day Traders: The script helps to immediately identify which session they are in, aiding in their trading strategy as market behavior can vary between these periods.
Swing Traders: They may use these sub-sessions to time their entries or exits, especially if they're based in different time zones.
Market Analysts: The color-coded sessions provide a quick way to analyze the historical performance and volatility of an asset during different trading periods.
Global Traders: The time zone adjustment feature makes it easy for traders outside of the Eastern Time Zone to customize the script according to their local time, increasing its utility across different markets.
Educational Purpose: For new traders, this could serve as an educational tool to understand the typical behavior of the stock market at different times of the day.
So, whether you're timing an intraday entry or looking for patterns tied to specific market sessions, this script offers a straightforward, visual way to keep track of where you are in the trading day.
