Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)
INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.

VWAP Balance Zones - SessionsVWAP Balance Zones Sessions Version is an alternate take on the Original VWAP Balance Zones indicator. The Sessions version allows users to select a specific session to view the VWAP Balance Zones at while still utilizing the full ETH Data.
The Session version provides a better focused display while still maintaining the core functions of the original script with mindful optimizations.
Author's Note: "VBZ Sessions was made with logistics in mind, for the users who only trade within certain times of the day. While it displays the same core concepts, it is not as "Raw" of a display as the Original. For this reason, some users may prefer the Original VWAP Balance Zones, which is why I have opted to release this alternate version instead of updating the original."
> What are VWAP Balance Zones?
"VWAP Balance Zones" is an original concept aimed at identifying the equilibrium area between market participants within the current trend by averaging the Daily Extremes and the Daily VWAP.
Refer to the illustration below for a better understanding of exactly how VWAP Balance Zones are formed:
These zones are displayed for the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, with the most interactive timeframe being the Daily.
> Features
1. The Session Version uses ETH data at all times, and does not solely rely on the chart's data to create the VWAPs or Zones.
This allows the user to focus on a specific trading session, while not losing out on the full VBZ Calculation, with the notable benefit of a cleaner display.
The Original VBZ starts drawing at the beginning of the chart's "Day", and would produce different results when using an RTH chart vs an ETH chart. Along with creating a bird's nest of unusable data at the beginning of the day.
2. Session Start and End lines are displayed for easier identification of the designated trading session.
3. The extreme "Close" Lines are no longer displayed to reduce noise and redundancy.
4. Additionally, the interior VWAP lines are no longer displayed. Ultimately, this was to reduce noise and focus the script on the 50% zones.
5. Weekly and Monthly Zones are now displayed due to the reduced noise!
6. As with the original, the weekly display will yield to the daily, and the monthly display will yield to the weekly.
In the screenshot below, you can observe this behavior.

Macros ICT KillZones [TradingFinder] Times & Price Trading Setup🔵 Introduction
ICT Macros, developed by Michael Huddleston, also known as ICT (Inner Circle Trader), is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify the best trading opportunities during key time intervals like the London and New York trading sessions.
For traders aiming to capitalize on market volatility, liquidity shifts, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG), understanding and using these critical time zones can significantly improve trading outcomes.
In today’s highly competitive financial markets, identifying the moments when the market is seeking buy-side or sell-side liquidity, or filling price imbalances, is essential for maximizing profitability.
The ICT Macros indicator is built on the renowned ICT time and price theory, which enables traders to track and leverage key market dynamics such as breaks of highs and lows, imbalances, and liquidity hunts.
This indicator automatically detects crucial market times and optimizes strategies for traders by highlighting the specific moments when price movements are most likely to occur. A standout feature of ICT Macros is its automatic adjustment for Daylight Saving Time (DST), ensuring that traders remain synced with the correct session times.
This means you can rely on accurate market timing without the need for manual updates, allowing you to focus on capturing profitable trades during critical timeframes.
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Macros indicator helps you capitalize on trading opportunities during key market moments, particularly when the market is breaking highs or lows, filling Fair Value Gaps (FVG), or addressing imbalances. This indicator is particularly beneficial for traders who seek to identify liquidity, market volatility, and price imbalances.

These time intervals adjust automatically based on Daylight Saving Time (DST), helping traders to enter or exit trades during key market moments when price volatility is high.
Below are the main applications of this tool and how to incorporate it into your trading strategies :
🟣 Combining ICT Macros with Trading Strategies
The ICT Macros indicator can easily be used in conjunction with various trading strategies. Two well-known strategies that can be combined with this indicator include:
ICT 2022 Trading Model : This model is designed based on identifying market liquidity, structural price changes, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG). By using ICT Macros, you can identify the key time intervals when the market is seeking liquidity, filling imbalances, or breaking through important highs and lows, allowing you to enter or exit trades at the right moment.
Silver Bullet Strategy : This strategy, which is built around liquidity hunting and rapid price movements, can work more accurately with the help of ICT Macros. The indicator pinpoints precise liquidity times, helping traders take advantage of market shifts caused by filling Fair Value Gaps or correcting imbalances.
🟣 Capitalizing on Price Volatility During Key Times
Large market algorithms often seek liquidity or fill Fair Value Gaps (FVG) during the intervals marked by ICT Macros. These periods are when price volatility increases, and traders can use these moments to enter or exit trades.
For example, if sell-side liquidity is drained and the market fills an imbalance, the price might move toward buy-side liquidity. By identifying these moments, which may also involve breaking a previous high or low, you can leverage rapid market fluctuations to your advantage.
🟣 Identifying Liquidity and Price Imbalances
One of the important uses of ICT Macros is identifying points where the market is seeking liquidity and correcting imbalances. You can determine high or low liquidity levels in the market before each ICT Macro, as well as Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and price imbalances that need to be filled, using them to adjust your trading strategy. This capability allows you to manage trades based on liquidity shifts or imbalance corrections without needing a bias toward a specific direction.
🔵 Settings
The ICT Macros indicator offers various customization options, allowing users to tailor it to their specific needs. Below are the main settings:
Time Zone Mode : You can select one of the following options to define how time is displayed:
UTC : For traders who need to work with Universal Time.
Session Local Time : The local time corresponding to the London or New York markets.
Your Time Zone : You can specify your own time zone (e.g., "UTC-4:00").
Your Time Zone : If you choose "Your Time Zone," you can set your specific time zone. By default, this is set to UTC-4:00.
Show Range Time : This option allows you to display the time range of each session on the chart. If enabled, the exact start and end times of each interval are shown.
Show or Hide Time Ranges : Toggle on/off for visual clarity depending on user preference.
Custom Colors : Set distinct colors for each session, allowing users to personalize their chart based on their trading style.These settings allow you to adjust the key time intervals of each trading session to your preference and customize the time format according to your own needs.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Macros indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping them to identify key time intervals where the market seeks liquidity or fills Fair Value Gaps (FVG), corrects imbalances, and breaks highs or lows. This tool is especially valuable for traders using liquidity-based strategies such as ICT 2022 or Silver Bullet.
One of the key features of this indicator is its support for Daylight Saving Time (DST), ensuring you are always in sync with the correct trading session timings without manual adjustments. This is particularly beneficial for traders operating across different time zones.
With ICT Macros, you can capitalize on crucial market opportunities during sensitive times, take advantage of imbalances, and enhance your trading strategies based on market volatility, liquidity shifts, and Fair Value Gaps.

Forex session - Opening Range- Jayy fixed updatedOpening Range (OR) for Forex 24 hour regular session. This is not for regular market day sessions addressed in a separate script.
This script fixes four issues:
syntax error when code compiles
messed up opening range the day after a holiday Monday
flaky plotting of the opening range and targets that required page reloading
TradingView problems with starting forex session at 1700 hours EST/EDT when using certain securities eg FX_IDC currently (Jan 2017)
Additions in his code are more options for trading range
Time compensation option for some securities that incorrectly start sessions at 1200 hrs instead of 1700 hrs NY time
- this glitch is likely temporary but present when this script update was created
More opening range time period choices
Opening Range Targets:
Opening Range Targets as per Leaf_West
Targets are set at 127% , 162%, 200 %, 262 %, 362%, 423%, 685%, 1109% and 1794% and this can be traded intraday using methods described here charts-by-leaf.com I also have some Leaf West PDFs that describe how the targets are set and how they are traded. There are others that use opening range.
The Time Session Glitch and the Fix:
The script will correctly default to 1700 hrs to 1700hrs EDT/EST session for FXCM.
Strangely some securities appear to erroneously start their session at 1200 hrs ie. My guess is that they are somehow tied to GMT+0 instead of New York time (GMT+5). See this for yourself by selecting EURUSD using the FXCM exchange (FX:EURUSD) and then EURUSD from the IDC exchange (FX_IDC:EURUSD). The FX-IDC session opening range starts 5 hours
before it actually should at 1700 hrs EDT/EST. To correct for this I have implemented an automatic fix (default) and a user selected "5 hour time shift adjust. ment needed on some securities".
There is also a 4 hour time shift button which might be necessary when New York reverts from Eastern Standard Time
to Eastern Daylight Time (1 hour difference) in March (and then back again in November). In the default auto adjust mode you will need to select the 1 hour time shift. That is if this glitch still exists at that time.
I have looked at other scripts, other than my own and where the script is available, that need to use information about the opening bar and all have the same time shift issue
What are the choices for Opening Range?
The dialogue box offers the standard TradingView options.
Also where you see Pick Opening Range 1 to 12 hours , SET TO 0 To USE LINE ABOVE TO DETERMINE OR LENGTH
As the note says a number other than 0 will override the standard options from the line above
The dialogue box below in offers choices by hours 1 to 12. A number greater than 12 will still only give
720 minutes (12 hours) for the length of Opening Range.
What sessions within the FOREX time-frame are available?
The default is 1700 hours to 1700 hours EST/EDT
Check any one (only one) of the time periods to change the opening range period to suit.
New York opens at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST (EDT)
Tokyo opens at 7:00 pm to 4:00 am EST (EDT)
Sydney opens at 5:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (EDT)
London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT)
There is a build your own session (click the button to select)
The two lines for inputting session times are almost identical except that the second line starts the be the same as each other.
The default for the build your own session is 2200 hours to 2200 hours. As of the time of publishing this plots EURUSD FX-IDC just right. The GMT+5 and GMT+4 do not apply to this selection.
See my comments above on this strange aberration.
The script originated from work done by Chris Moody. It has changed significantly but there are remnants of that script lurking within.
Script is free to all - that way you can see what is inside

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 Sessions (Kill Zones)Inspired by the work of ICT (Inner Circle Trader - @ICT_MHuddleston)
What are ICT KillZones:
All ICT students know that certain moments of the day are more indicated to search for good frameworks. These moments are indicated like "Kill Zones".
The best kill zones to search for profittable tradings are during the London session and during the New York session.
How This Indicator Can Help You:
With this indicator you'll see plotted in the charts the London Kill Zone and the New York Kill Zone, you'll see exactly when they start and finish, so you'll be able to understand better the price action and recognize if there are ICT framework to trade. You'll also will see when the New York lunch hour happen (this moment is not favorable for searching frameworks) and you'll see also 2 very important moments of the day, the 8.30 New York Time and the 9.30 New York Time, infact in these 2 particular moments it is most likely that some very profittable framework will appear as there are alway important economic news released in these 2 hours.
Also you'll see the New York Midnight Open, that always forms a very important level for the day trading, you could see the New York Midnight open as a real opening for markets.
Why This Indicator:
I looked for indicators working with these concepts and I could not find one that offered the kill zones sections in the way are showed in my indicator, also they just had the kill zones without showing the 8.30 and 9.30 hours and without the Ney York midnight opening, and these are very important time frames for who works with ICT concepts.
About The Indicator:
In this indicator you'll have displayed:
The regular trading sessions displayed, that is: Asian Session, London Session, New York Session.
The London Kill Zone
The New York Kill Zone
The New York Midnight Open
The New York Lunch Hour
The 8:30 News Release Hour
The 9:30 News Release Hour
All these level can be adjusted and changed as you prefer.
80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)I created this script to show the 80% opportunity on chart if setting lines up.
"80% rule: Open outside the vah or Val. Spend 30 mins outside there then break back inside spend 15 mins below or above depending which way u broke. Then come back and retest the vah/val and take it to the poc as a first target with the final target being the other Val/vah "
📌 Script Summary
The "80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)" overlays your chart with prior session value area levels (VAH, VAL, and POC) calculated from extended-hours 30-minute data. It tracks when the price reenters the value area and confirms 80% Rule setups during your chosen trading session. You can optionally trigger alerts, show/hide market sessions, and fine-tune line appearance for a clean, modular workflow.
⚙️ Options & Settings Breakdown
- Use 24-Hour Session (All Markets)
When checked, the indicator ignores time zones and tracks signals during a full 24-hour period (0000-0000), helpful if you're outside U.S. trading hours or want consistent behavior globally.
- Market Session
Dropdown to select one of three key market zones:
- New York (09:30–16:00 ET)
- London (08:00–16:30 local)
- Tokyo (09:00–15:00 local)
Used to gate entry signals during relevant hours unless you choose the 24-hour option.
- Show PD VAH/VAL/POC Lines
Toggle to show or hide prior day’s levels (based on the 30-min extended session). Turning this off removes both the lines and their white text labels.
- Extend Lines Right
When enabled, the VAH/VAL/POC lines extend into the current day’s session. If disabled, they appear only at their anchor point.
- Highlight Selected Session
Adds a soft blue background to help visualize the active session you selected.
- Enable Alert Conditions
Allows TradingView alerts to be created for long/short 80% Rule entries.
- Enable Audible Alerts
Plays an in-chart sound with a popup message (“80% Rule LONG” or “SHORT”) when signals trigger. Requires the chart to be active and sounds enabled in TradingView.
Prior sessions High/Low/MidThis indicator highlights the High, Low, and Midpoint of the most recently completed trading sessions. It helps traders visualize key price levels from the previous session that often act as support, resistance, or reaction zones.
It draws horizontal lines for the high and low of the last completed session, as well as the midpoint, which is calculated as the average of the high and low. These lines extend to the right side of the chart, remaining visible as reference levels throughout the day.
You can independently enable or disable the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions depending on your preferences. Each session has adjustable start and end times, as well as time zone settings, so you can align them accurately with your trading strategy.
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday and swing traders who use session-based levels to define market structure, bias, or areas of interest. Session highs and lows often align with institutional activity and can be key turning points in price action.
Please note that this script is designed to be used only on intraday timeframes such as 1-minute to 4-hour charts. It will not function on daily or higher timeframes.
Live SessionsLive sessions plots the highs and lows of the previous for sessions.
It also marks when these are broken by price.
Default Time Frames are:
London Session = "0000-0600", "UTC-4"
New York Session = "0830-1230", "UTC-4"
Asia Session = "1800-0000", "UTC-4"
New York Close Session = "1330-1630", "UTC-4"

🕒 Timezone Note:
The indicator uses UTC time by default to ensure accuracy across markets. If your broker uses a different timezone (like EST, IST, etc.), the script can be adjusted to reflect your local market hours.
✅ How to Use the Time Range Marker Indicator
This indicator is used to visually highlight a specific time window each trading day, such as:
Market open or close sessions (e.g., NYSE, London, Tokyo)
High-impact news release periods
Custom time slots for strategy testing or scalping

to your correct timezone, like "Asia/Kolkata" for IST or "America/New_York" for EST.
Let me know your broker or local timezone, and I’ll update it for you.

Anticipate Breakouts.
Time Entries and Exits.
Increase Probability of Continuation.
LIT - TimingIntroduction
This Script displays the Asia Session Range, the London Open Inducement Window, the NY Open Inducement Window, the Previous Week's high and low, the Previous Day's highs and lows, and the Day Open price in the cleanest way possible.
Description
The Indicator is based on UTC -7 timing but displays the Session Boxes automatically correct at your chart so you do not have to adjust any timings based on your Time Zone and don't have to do any calculations based on your UTC. It is already perfect.
You will see on default settings the purple Asia Box and 2 grey boxes, the first one is for the London Open Inducement Window (1 hour) and the second grey box is for the NY Open Inducement Window (also 1 hour)
Asia Range comes with default settings with the Asia Range high, low, and midline, you can remove these 3 lines in the settings "style" and untick the "Lines" box, that way you only will have the boxes displayed.
Special Feature
Most Timing-based Indicators have "bugged" boxes or don't show clean boxes at all and don't adjust at daylight savings times, we made sure that everything automatically gets adjusted so you don't have to! So the timings will always display at the correct time regarding the daylight savings times.
Combining Timing with Liquidity Zones the right way and in a clear, clean, and simple format.
Different than others this script also shows the "true" Asia range as it respects the "day open gap" which affects the Asia range in other scripts and it also covers the full 8 hours of Asia Session.
Additions
You can add in the settings menu the last week's high and low, the previous day's high and low, and also the day's open price by ticking the boxes in the settings menu
All colors of the boxes are fully adjustable and customizable for your personal preferences. Same for the previous weeks and day highs and lows. Just go to "Style" and you can adjust the Line types or colors to your preferred choice.
Recommended Use
The most beautiful display is on the M5 Timeframe as you have a clear overview of all sessions without losing the intraday view. You can also use it on the M1 for more details or the M15 for the bigger picture. The Template can hide on higher time frames starting from the H1 to not flood your chart with boxes.
How to use the Asia Session Range Box
Use the Asia Range Box as your intraday Guide, keep in mind that a Breakout of Asia high or low induces Liquidity and a common price behavior is a reversal after the fake breakout of that range.
How to use the London Open and NY Open Inducement Windows
Both grey boxes highlight the Open of either London Open or NY Open and you should keep an eye out for potential Liquditiy Graps or Mitigations during that times as this is when they introduce major Liquidity for the regarding Session.
How to use the Asia high, low and midline and day open price
After Asia Range got taken out in one direction, often price comes back to those levels to mitigate or bounce off, so you can imagine those zones as support and resistance on some occasions, recommended in combination with Imbalances.
How to use the previous day and week's highs and lows
Once added in the settings, you can display those price levels, you can use them either as Liquidity Targets or as Inducement Levels once they are taken out.
Enjoy!
