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.

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.

Forex Kill Zones - SMC IndicatorsWhat are Kill Zones?
Kill Zones are specific Time Windows of opportunity during the Session that have the potential for the highest volatility and where looking for trading opportunities is ideal.
The Forex Kill Zone Indicator is specifically designed for the Forex Market. What differentiates this script from other Kill Zones scripts is that this script is based on NY Midnight as the basis for the start of the day.
This is not the usual below-average Kill Zone indicator because this indicator does not only show the 3 main Kill Zones or Sessions, but it also offers extra Kill Zones that are called "Asian Range (AR)", "Central Bank Dealing Range (CBDR)", and "FLOUT".
Another key differentiator of this indicator's functionality is that it shows the highs and lows of each Kill zone allowing SMC traders to monitor Time-Based Liquidity above the highs and lows of each trading session.
Another added benefit of this indicator is the Standard Deviations features for the AR, CBDR, and FLOUT that we added. The Standard Deviations act as key levels where there is a high probability of price reacting when in confluence with 1H or higher key levels (PD Arrays). The Standard Deviations are not pivot levels but are ranges above and below the Kill Zones that rely on TIME and PRICE in their calculations.
Finally, we have also incorporated a Notification function to remind the trader of the start of the trading Kill Zones to not miss out on potential trade opportunities.
Key Functionalities
1) Universal Time Reference:
Every day starts at 00:00 NY Midnight, irrespective of the trader's local time, Instead of the Standard GMT Midnight. This allows all Kill Zones to be in line with the New York start of the day at Midnight, as thought by ICT.
Weekend Highlighter
This feature highlights time from Sunday Market Open at 5 PM NY Time to 00:00 NY Midnight.
It's useful for identifying the non-trading or the low volatility periods when trading should be avoided.
Features Breakdown
Lookback Period
Defaulted to 60 trading days, aligning with “IPDA Data Ranges”, which is ideal for backtesting.
Adjustable for trading, and it's recommended to keep it at 20 trading days to focus on most recent data only.
24-hour Daily Intervals
The 24-hour intervals are not the same as the usual daily candle. Instead, the start of each trading day is anchored to the 00:00 NY Midnight.
Highlights "Days of the Week" labels, "Weekend" Trading Time, and the daily high-low ranges based on the start of trading day mark being at 00:00 NY Midnight.
London Kill Zone (Green)
Starts from 01:00 NY Time to 05:00 NY Time.
London closes at 12:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the London Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the London Kill Zone Range.
Marks the London Close Session to mark the end of London End of the trading day, where volatility drops.
Highlights the time when there is the highest volatility during the London Session Kill Zone.
New York Kill Zone (Blue)
Starts from 07:00 NY time to 10:00 NY Time.
Marks The CME Open at 08:30 (the opening of the Bond Market).
Highlight the high and low of the New York Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the NY Kill Zone Range.
Highlights the time when there is the highest volatility during the New York Session.
The Central Bank Dealing Range or "CBDR" (Orange)
Starts From 14:00 NY Time to 20:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the CBDR Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the CBDR Kill Zone Range.
Also, there is an added ability to add the CBDR Standard Deviations above and below the CBDR.
Can also extend the CBDR Standard Deviations key levels until the end of the next day's London Kill Zone.
What are the CBDR Standard Deviations?
The Standard Deviations are extensions of the CBDR above and below the CBDR original range. It takes the high and low of the range and adds the range above and below the original range by x times.
The CCBDR Standard Deviations are NOT pivot levels. They are used as points of reference where we could expect the price to react when in confluence with higher timeframe reference points.
The idea behind them is that if the price is Bearish, the price could rally to +1 CBDR Standard Deviation below dropping lower. As shown in the image below on Thursday, the two vertical lines before the start of Thursday mark the CBDR Kill Zone, then the price rallied to +1 CBDR SDv and then dropped.
Asian Range "AR" Kill Zone
Starts from 20:00 NY Time to 00:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the AR Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the AR Kill Zone Range.
Also, there is an added ability to add the AR Standard Deviations above and below the AR.
This KillZone should be primarily used when CBDR exceeds 40 pips.
Similar to the CBDR, the AR Standard Deviations also can be used as points of reference where we could expect the price to react when in confluence with higher timeframe reference points.
The AR Standard Deviations can also be extended until the end of the next day's London Kill Zone.
FLOUT Range
It Combines AR and CBDR, spanning from 14:00 NY Time to 00:00 NY Time.
The FLOUT should only be used when both AR and CBDR have small ranges of less than 10 pips combined.
Highlight the high and low of the FLOUT Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the FLOUT Kill Zone Range.
The FLOUT Standard Deviations also can be used as points of reference where we could expect the price to react when in confluence with higher timeframe reference points.
The Flout Standard Deviations can be extended until the end of the next day London Kill Zone.
Bonus Features
Daily & Weekly Open Price Levels
The Open Price levels draw a horizontal line from the start of the trading day at 00:00 NY midnight, and it extends it towards the end of the trading day.
This is useful for understanding where the price is relative to the daily candle.
When Bullish, the trader should look for setups at or below the daily or weekly open price.
When Bearish, the trader should look for setups at or above the daily or weekly open price.
Whether to choose the Daily or Weekly open price depends on the trader's trading style. If the trader is day trading or scaling, then it's more appropriate to choose the Daily Open Price.
However, Day Traders can also use the Weekly candle to align with the Weekly Candle's expected range direction.
On the other hand, if the trader is a Swing Trader and wants to capitalise on the weekly candle's trend, then it's more appropriate to choose the Weekly Open Price.
However, Swing Traders can also use the Daily Open Price when looking to take a trade to time better entries with a high risk-to-reward ratio.
Notifications
The trader can also receive alerts as a reminder at the start of the desired session to not miss out on the start of the trading session.
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.
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.

Steady Swift by Hashtag_binarySteady Swift is an indicator that shows the forex sessions and the highest and lowest points of each session of the day.
The sessions that appear on the indicator are Tokyo, London and New York.
The calculation of each session is per hour and goes from 0 to 24 hours, where point 0 begins in the Tokyo session.
In the settings part sessions can be selected or removed, just as you can choose if you want the high and low points to be measured from the wick or the body of the candle, and you can also place the colored background or remove it if you wish (as a preference it is better to leave the background color).
The lines (either current or past) of the high points and the low points of each session can be modified in thickness.
There is a variety to choose the color of the sessions. Even modify the term of each session.
Multi Ticker Session Opening High Low RangeThe Multi Ticker Session Opening High Low Range Indicator by the Caretaker.
The original idea for this indicator came out of a request from Krown's Crypto Cave community member ZFelds.
This indicator is designed to display the High / Low Ranges of the "on chart" asset, at a chosen resolution from the opening time of, and for the duration of, the chosen Ticker Sessions (up to 3) .
Its function is to allow the user to easily keep track of the session times of the major world indices, and the reaction of the on chart assets price from the opening of the ticker sessions over the duration of the ticker sessions.
Typically used for a guide when scalp trading on low time-frames by plotting the opening 1 or 5 minute High/Low trading range of an asset during the start of a major market opening up an d making trading decisions based on the reaction of Price Action around those levels.
It does this by plotting High / Low Range bands (plus mid-lines) which displays the High and Low range of the on chart assets opening candle at the chosen time resolution for the chosen ticker (Defaults : SPX, NI225, UKX).
The Range bands fill colour changes depending on whether the chart asset closes candles within, above, or below the range (Default : Silver, Green, Red).
It plots optional Background "Session Bars" and "Session Banners" which function to clearly show the session.
The background "Session bars" can be set to plot just the first bar as a signal or on all session bars.
The "Session Banners" are horizontal lines of chosen width which "float" above the chart data.
Optional info text-boxes also "float" above the chart data and function to display the session opening range information.
(Ticker symbol, Opening range time resolution, Session open high & low).
The text-boxes can be set to full label or short label.
The text-boxes can be set to the left or center of the session.
The height offset by which the text-boxes and banners float above the highest high of the range is alterable in the settings.
The text-boxes and banners also have a "clash avoidance" function which will offset their heights to help avoid them clashing on screen (This offset is alterable in the settings).

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.

Asia & London Session High/Low – EOD Segments (v4.5)What it does
Plots the Asia and London session high & low each day.
When a session ends, its high/low are locked (non-repainting) and drawn as horizontal segments that auto-extend to the end of that same day (no infinite rays).
Optional labels show the exact level at session close.
Toggle whether to keep prior days on the chart or auto-clear them on the first bar of a new day.
Why traders use it
Quickly see overnight liquidity levels that often act as magnets or barriers during the U.S. session.
Map session range extremes for breakout/reversal planning, partials, and invalidation.
Works great alongside VWAP, 8/20/200 MAs, or your NY session tools to build confluence.
How it works
You define the session windows (defaults: Asia 00:00–06:00, London 07:00–11:00).
While a session is active, the script tracks running high/low.
On the bar after the session ends, the level is finalized and drawn; the segment’s right edge updates each bar until EOD, then stops automatically.
Inputs
Session Timezone: “Exchange”, UTC, or a specific region (set this to match your venue).
Asia / London Session: editable HHMM-HHMM windows.
Show Asia / Show London: enable either/both sessions.
Keep history: keep or auto-delete previous days.
Show labels: price labels at session close.
Colors & width: customize high/low colors and line width.
Best practices
Use on intraday timeframes (1–60m).
For equities/futures, set timezone to your exchange (e.g., America/New_York). For FX/crypto, pick what matches your workflow.
Common tweak: London 08:00–12:00 local; Asia 00:00–05:00 or your broker’s definition.
Notes
Non-repainting: levels only print once the session is complete.
Designed to be light and reliable—no boxes, just clean lines and labels.
If you want NY session levels, midlines (50%), anchored stop-time, or alerts on touches, this script can be extended.

Anchored Session Volume Profile • Heatmap Profiles • Asia/EU/US Description
This indicator builds Anchored Session Volume Profiles for Asia, EU, and US sessions on intraday charts and renders them as right-docked line histograms (heatmap or classic style). Each session computes its own POC, VAH, VAL and optional Session High/Low lines. An optional per-price-bin Delta overlay estimates buy/sell pressure inside the profile rows for quick order-flow context.
What’s unique
Three independent session anchors (Asia/EU/US) with custom start/end times, bin size in ticks, and Value Area %.
Right-fixed live rendering or post-close persistence (draw levels only after the session closes).
Adaptive width: profile width scales with elapsed session length (anchor → now/end) within user limits.
Heatmap profile: row tint scales by relative volume; or Classic single-color with optional gradient.
Per-row Delta ticks (outside/inside, configurable direction) derived from bar delta and overlap with each price bin.
Clean POC/VAH/VAL line styling, optional ray extension, and Session High/Low rays per session.
How it works (technical)
Binning: Rows are built with a user-defined bin height in ticks. Arrays expand/shrink as price extends; the base is shifted when new lows appear to keep bins aligned.
Accumulation: For each bar within the active session window, traded volume is distributed to intersecting bins proportionally to the price overlap with that bin.
Value Area: POC is the highest-volume bin. VA is grown symmetrically around the POC until the selected coverage (VA%) is reached.
Delta per bin (optional): A bar-level delta proxy volume * (close − open) / range (clamped) is split into buy/sell and allocated to bins proportionally to the same overlap share, producing a per-row delta magnitude for rendering ticks.
Rendering modes:
Right fixed: refreshes each bar; lines/histogram are docked at the anchor X-position.
Draw Levels after Session Close: on close, only POC/VAH/VAL (and optional Session High/Low) are persisted.
No lookahead: All computations use confirmed bars; levels are deterministic on close.
How to use
Use the Asia/EU/US profiles to read participation hand-offs and session-driven rotations.
Trade off POC/VAH/VAL as acceptance/rejection references; confluence with session High/Low often marks responsive flows.
Employ Delta ticks per row to spot absorption, one-sided stacking, or fading participation inside the profile without leaving TradingView.
Prefer right-fixed during live trading and post-close when you want persistent session levels.
Key settings
General per session: Start/End (hh:mm), Bin size (ticks), Value Area %, toggle POC/VAH/VAL lines.
Rendering: Heatmap vs. Classic, orientation (Left/Right), gradient on/off, row thickness, right offset, adaptive width limits.
Delta (per price bin): global on/off, per-session on/off, tick width, max tick length (bars), outside/inside placement, direction (sign-based / always left / always right), colors.
Levels: POC/VAH/VAL styles (solid/dashed/dotted), widths, colors, extend right (ray).
Session High/Low: per-session on/off, style, width, colors, optional right-ray extension.
Notes & limitations
Designed for intraday data; accuracy depends on the feed’s volume granularity.
Large histories + small bins + delta ticks can be heavy; tune bin size, adaptive width, and delta max length for performance.
Timezone for anchors is set internally to Europe/Berlin.
