CandelaCharts - OHLC Session Range Map 📝 Overview
Master the art of candlestick analysis with the OHLC Session Range Map!
Enhance your TradingView strategies by incorporating this advanced tool for actionable insights. Far beyond standard OHLC visuals, this innovative indicator integrates Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts to analyze accumulation, manipulation, and distribution, one candle at a time.
ICT traders identify manipulation through wicks that extend opposite the candle’s close—a tactic designed to mislead market participants into taking positions in the "wrong" direction. These movements often signify potential manipulation phases. By interpreting these signals, traders can anticipate a candle’s distribution phase, where the price expands to higher or lower levels. This provides valuable insights into liquidity targets, retracement zones, and potential reversals.
These levels provide critical insights into order flow, illustrating how price interacts with them and the sequence in which it unfolds.
To refine price analysis further, the tool also tracks the average timing for the completion of manipulation and distribution phases. By combining historical timing patterns with price levels tied to these phases, traders can perform more in-depth analyses and enhance their market strategies.
While rooted in historical data, this indicator does not guarantee that past patterns will repeat in future market conditions. Instead, it offers a data-driven approach to identifying moments when candles are likely to reverse after manipulation phases or retrace following completed distributions, enabling traders to spot potential turning points with greater precision.

ATT + Key Levels with SessionsKey Features:
ATT Turning Point Numbers:
This input allows the user to define specific numbers (e.g., "3,11,17,29,41,47,53,59") that mark turning points in price action, which are checked using the bar_index modulo 60. If the current bar index matches one of these turning points, it triggers potential buy or sell signals.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is calculated based on a user-defined period (rsi_period), typically 14, and used to indicate overbought or oversold conditions. The script defines overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels, which are used to filter buy or sell signals.
Session Times:
The script includes predefined session times for major trading markets:
New York: From 9:30 AM EST to 4:00 PM EST.
London: From 8:00 AM GMT to 4:30 PM GMT.
Asia: From 12:00 AM GMT to 9:00 AM GMT.
These session times are used to restrict the buy and sell signals to specific market sessions.
Key Levels:
The script calculates and plots key market levels for the current day and week:
Daily High and Low: The highest and lowest prices of the current day.
Weekly High and Low: The highest and lowest prices of the current week.
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.
Market Session Times and Volume [Market Spotter]Market Session Times and Volume
Market Session Times
Inputs
The inputs tab consists of timezone adjustment which would be the chosen timezone for the plotting of the market sessions based on the market timings.
Further it contains settings for each box to show/hide and change box colour and timings for Asian, London and New York Sessions.
How it works
The indicator primarily works by marking the session highs and lows for the chosen time in the inputs, each of the sessions can be input a custom time value which would plot the box. It helps to identify the important price levels and the trading range for each individual session.
The midpoint of each session is marked with a dashed line. The indicator also marks a developing session while it being formed as well to identify potential secondary levels.
Usage
It can be used to trade session breakouts, false breaks and also divide the daily movement into parts and identify possible patterns while trading.
2. Volumes
Inputs
The volume part has 2 inputs - Smoothing and Normalisation. The smoothing period can simply be used to take in charge volumes of last X bars and normalisation can be used for calculating relative volumes based on last Y bars.
How it works
The indicator takes into account the buy and sell volumes of last X bars and then displays that as a relative smoothed volume which helps to identify longer term build or distribution of volume. It plots the positive volume from 0 to 100 and negative volume from 0 to -100 which has been normalised. The colors identify gradual increase or decrease in volumes
Usage
It can also be used to trade volume spikes well and can identify potential market shifts

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.
EdgeXplorer - Sessions Roulette 🕰️ EdgeXplorer – Sessions Roulette
⸻
🔍 What This Indicator Does
Sessions Roulette is a highly customizable tool that visualizes the four primary global trading sessions — New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney — directly on your chart.
It not only highlights each session’s time window with color-coded boxes, but also tracks key session-level data like:
• Highs and lows
• Average (mean) price
• (Optional) VWAP line (toggle included for future use)
This tool is purpose-built for traders who rely on time-based volatility patterns, session transitions, and liquidity windows.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works (Technical Breakdown in Plain English)
This indicator checks — for each trading session — whether the current bar falls within the defined session time range. If it does:
1. A colored box is drawn from session open to close
2. High/Low levels for that session are tracked dynamically
3. The session’s mean price is calculated incrementally as new bars come in
4. Session labels are rendered as text (optional)
5. Once the session ends, the data locks and resets on the next session start
The timezone can be defined manually via UTC offset or aligned with the chart’s exchange timezone using a toggle.
⸻
📈 Visual Components Explained
Each session (NY, LDN, TYO, SYD) has its own:
• Colored Box Range: This fills the background of the session with a semi-transparent box.
• Session Label: A tag that names the session.
• Mean Line: Tracks average price during the session (toggle).
• High/Low Plots: Draw horizontal lines showing session high and low prices (toggle).
• VWAP Line: Placeholder toggle exists — functionality is not yet implemented.
• Box Outline: Optional stroke around each session box.
⸻
📊 Input Settings & Customization
🔧 General Settings:
• Timezone Offset (UTC ±): Manually adjust sessions to your preferred UTC offset.
• Use Chart Exchange Timezone: Toggle to override the offset and align sessions to the chart’s market timezone.
🎯 Per-Session Settings:
For each of the four sessions, you can configure:
Option Description
Enable Session Toggles the session on or off
Session Label Custom text for labeling
Time Window Start and end time for session
Color Box and line color
Highlight Range Whether to draw the background box
Trend Line (Reserved for future)
Average Line Shows running mean of price during session
VWAP Line (Toggle available; VWAP logic not yet implemented)
High/Low Lines Horizontal lines at the session high/low
🧪 Display Options:
• Range Fill Opacity: Controls transparency of the session box.
• Draw Range Outline: Adds a border to the session box.
• Session Label: Toggles visibility of the session name label.
⸻
🧠 How Traders Can Interpret It
Session tools are most powerful when:
• You trade session-to-session behaviors (e.g., NY open reaction to LDN range)
• You study liquidity zones or order flow around session highs/lows
• You want to anchor technical setups to session timing
• You analyze volatility compression/expansion across global markets
Each session often brings different behaviors:
Session Use Insight
Tokyo Often range-bound, ideal for pre-positioning
London Brings first significant volatility
New York Tends to expand volatility or reverse trends

AMD Session Structure Levels# Market Structure & Manipulation Probability Indicator
## Overview
This advanced indicator is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to analyzing market structure, identifying manipulation, and assessing probability-based trade setups. It incorporates four core components:
### 1. Session Price Action Analysis
- Tracks **OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close)** within defined sessions.
- Implements a **dual tracking system**:
- **Official session levels** (fixed from the session open to close).
- **Real-time max/min tracking** to differentiate between temporary spikes and real price acceptance.
### 2. Market Manipulation Detection
- Identifies **manipulative price action** using the relationship between the open and close:
- If **price closes below open** → assumes **upward manipulation**, followed by **downward distribution**.
- If **price closes above open** → assumes **downward manipulation**, followed by **upward distribution**.
- Normalized using **ATR**, ensuring adaptability across different volatility conditions.
### 3. Probability Engine
- Tracks **historical wick ratios** to assess trend vs. reversal conditions.
- Calculates **conditional probabilities** for price moves.
- Uses a **special threshold system (0.45 and 0.03)** for reversal signals.
- Provides **real-time probability updates** to enhance trade decision-making.
### 4. Market Condition Classification
- Classifies market conditions using a **wick-to-body ratio**:
```pine
wick_to_body_ratio = open > close ? upper_wick / (high - low) : lower_wick / (high - low)
```
- **Low ratio (<0.25)** → Likely a **trend day**.
- **High ratio (>0.25)** → Likely a **range day**.
---
## Why This Indicator Stands Out
### ✅ Smarter Level Detection
- Uses **ATR-based dynamic levels** instead of static support/resistance.
- Differentiates **manipulation from distribution** for better decision-making.
- Updates probabilities **in real-time**.
### ✅ Memory-Efficient Design
- Implements **circular buffers** to maintain efficiency:
```pine
var float manipUp = array.new_float(lookbackPeriod, 0.0)
var float manipDown = array.new_float(lookbackPeriod, 0.0)
```
- Ensures **constant memory usage**, even over extended trading sessions.
### ✅ Advanced Probability Calculation
- Utilizes **conditional probabilities** instead of simple averages.
- Incorporates **market context** through wick analysis.
- Provides **actionable signals** via a probability table.
---
## Trading Strategy Guide
### **Best Entry Setups**
✅ Wait for **price to approach manipulation levels**.
✅ Confirm using the **probability table**.
✅ Check the **wick ratio for context**.
✅ Enter when **conditional probability aligns**.
### **Smart Exit Management**
✅ Use **distribution levels** as **profit targets**.
✅ Scale out **when probabilities shift**.
✅ Monitor **wick percentiles** for confirmation.
### **Risk Management**
✅ Size positions based on **probability readings**.
✅ Place stops at **manipulation levels**.
✅ Adjust position size based on **trend vs. range classification**.
---
## Configuration Tips
### **Session Settings**
```pine
sessionTime = input.session("0830-1500", "Session Hours")
weekDays = input.string("23456", "Active Days")
```
- Match these to your **primary trading session**.
- Adjust for different **market opens** if needed.
### **Analysis Parameters**
```pine
lookbackPeriod = input.int(50, "Lookback Period")
low_threshold = input.float(0.25, "Trend/Range Threshold")
```
- **50 periods** is a good starting point but can be optimized per instrument.
- The **0.25 threshold** is ideal for most markets but may need adjustments.
---
## Market Structure Breakdown
### **Trend/Continuation Days**
- **Characteristics:**
✅ Small **opposing wicks** (minimal counter-pressure).
✅ Clean, **directional price movement**.
- **Bullish Trend Day Example:**
✅ Small **lower wicks** (minimal downward pressure).
✅ Strong **closes near the highs** → **Buyers in control**.
- **Bearish Trend Day Example:**
✅ Small **upper wicks** (minimal upward pressure).
✅ Strong **closes near the lows** → **Sellers in control**.
### **Reversal Days**
- **Characteristics:**
✅ **Large opposing wicks** → Failed momentum in the initial direction.
- **Bullish Reversal Example:**
✅ **Large upper wick early**.
✅ **Strong close from the lows** → **Sellers failed to maintain control**.
- **Bearish Reversal Example:**
✅ **Large lower wick early**.
✅ **Weak close from the highs** → **Buyers failed to maintain control**.

## Summary
This indicator systematically quantifies market structure by measuring **manipulation, distribution, and probability-driven trade setups**. Unlike traditional indicators, it adapts dynamically using **ATR, historical probabilities, and real-time tracking** to offer a structured, data-driven approach to trading.

Futures Exchange SessionsIn the 24-hour trading of the futures market, this indicator provides the user with full customization concerning the most important factor: time. This indicator is centered around three main visualizations: labels, backgrounds, and lines that minimalistically allows the user to keep track of the many time intervals that occur during a futures market 24-hour trading cycle. It also artfully displays the previous days highs and lows. And everything can be individually toggled and configured so the user can get exactly what they want.
Labels
There are three main futures market sessions in a 24-hour period: the London, New York, and Asian Sessions. Each session is given an independent label for the open and close times. The six labels (LO, LC, NYO, NYC, AO, AC) can be individually toggled on or off, the label background color changed, the text switched between black or white, and the height can be lowered or raised. These customizations are intended to give the user full control of the session they are interested in at the moment.
Backgrounds
Backgrounds are the heart of this indicator. There are different colored transparent backgrounds for each of the futures sessions. So the user can clearly see the session they want to highlight without cluttering their chart and getting in the way of analyzing the candles.
If you are familiar with the London and New York killzones, these backgrounds are each individually configured.
If you are familiar with the Inner Circle Trader’s (ICT) NY Morning and Afternoon sessions, these are available. Also, most times weird price action occurs during the lunch hour of these sessions. The London and New York have a background for their respective lunch hours so the user is never caught of guard during these periods.
Lines
The markets are constantly looking for liquidity. To help the user see runs on liquidity, this indicator projects the previous days highs and lows on to the current day with a line and a price label. The line make it very easy to see where price may be headed. See the image below for the perfect example of this phenomenon. Each of the lines can be independently controlled by color, style, and width. And even the labels can be toggled on or off if the user would prefer just to see the lines. Lastly, there is a line that marks the midnight open price in EST.
Special Notes
This indicator is specifically designed for futures tickers.
All of the backgrounds are not designed to be turned on a once (there are many that overlap). They are designed to give the user ultimate control over exactly what timeframe backgrounds to display on their charts.
The labels only appear when timeframe is 1 hour or less.
DTFL FOREX OverlayThese tools are used by FOREX traders who primarily follow the DTFL trading strategy, however, they can easily be utilized by any other FOREX trader looking for an all-in-one indicator that includes sessions, previous high/lows, session values, various moving averages and lockable ADR/ATR lines.
Volume by SessionThis indicator shows volume separated by session. The aim is clarify which session a volume bar occurred in and how it compares to the average of that session - NOT ALL SESSIONS.
The logic is that there is little value comparing for example the volume of the London session against volume of the London-NY session - the London-NY will always have higher volume. But how does today's london compare to yesterdays london or the london average.
The indicator has moving averages that only consider the average of previous episodes of the same session - so the average on the london session is the average of the past 5 london sessions (NY and asia and London-NY are not included in the calculation of the MA).
The indicator goes as high as 1H timeframe and the average line does not function below 5 mins - thats a limitation on available data to calculate it.
There's also a 'dark screen' function. Thats because I like a black background so the colours need to be inverted.
Hope its useful. Good luck.

Obsession.FX Sessions IndicatorSession & Fractal Structure Tool — for Market Phases and Microstructure Analysis
This script combines session timeframes with local fractal identification to help traders analyze market context and structural shifts. It is designed for those applying Smart Money Concepts, where precise session boundaries and reactions to key levels are critical.
Session Zones
The script visualizes the three main trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It helps to:
– identify active phases of market participation;
– track each session’s Highs and Lows;
– interpret price behavior in relation to intraday liquidity shifts.
Each session is fully customizable — including start/end time, background and border colors, and display style (box, high/low lines, filled zones).
Fractal Structure
Fractals are shown as local highs and lows, supporting:
– detection of BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes;
– building A→B ranges for structural flow;
– confirming short-term directional changes.
The fractal algorithm is optimized for responsiveness and clarity, with no repainting and minimal delay.
Purpose and Usage
This tool is intended for contextual reading of price action: determining the active session and monitoring price behavior within its boundaries, with a focus on microstructural reactions. It supports building precise entry logic based on the interaction between session ranges and fractal structure.
Closed Source Justification
The script is closed-source due to its use of proprietary logic for fractal detection and session integration, developed as part of a private trading methodology not available in public libraries.
