Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.

Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break

EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.

Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Enjoy!
MultiSessions traderglobal.topEste indicador de sesiones está diseñado para traders intradía que desean visualizar con precisión la actividad y la volatilidad característica de cada mercado. Basado en Pine Script v5 y optimizado para la zona horaria “America/New_York”, divide el día en sub-sesiones configurables y resalta sus rangos de precio en tiempo real. En particular, incorpora tres bloques para New York (NY1, NY2, NY3), dos para Londres (LON1, LON2), dos para Tokio (TKO1, TKO2) y mantiene Sídney como sesión opcional. Cada bloque puede activarse o desactivarse de forma independiente y cuenta con su propio color ajustable, lo que permite construir mapas visuales claros para estrategias basadas en horario, solapamientos y micro-estructuras de mercado.
El panel de inputs incluye la opción “Activate High/Low View”. Cuando está activada, el indicador calcula de manera incremental el mínimo y máximo de cada sub-sesión y sombrea el área entre ambos con fill, proporcionando una referencia inmediata del rango intrasesión (útil para medir compresión/expansión y posibles rompimientos). Cuando está desactivada, emplea un simple bgcolor por bloque, ideal para traders que prefieren un gráfico más limpio y solo desean distinguir visualmente los tramos horarios.
La lógica central utiliza dos funciones auxiliares: is_session(sess), que detecta si la vela actual pertenece a un tramo horario concreto, e is_newbar(sess), que determina el inicio de una nueva barra de referencia según la resolución elegida (D, W o M). Gracias a esta combinación, en cada sub-sesión el indicador reinicia sus contadores de alto y bajo al comenzar el período y los actualiza vela a vela mientras el bloque siga activo. Este enfoque evita mezclas de datos entre sesiones y asegura que el rango que se muestra corresponda estrictamente al segmento horario configurado.
Los horarios por defecto están pensados para Forex y contemplan casos que cruzan medianoche (por ejemplo, Tokio 2 y Sídney). Pine Script admite rangos como 2200-0200; no obstante, si tu bróker o la zona horaria del gráfico generan un sombreado parcial, basta con dividir el tramo en dos: 2200-2359 y 0000-0200. Asimismo, cada input.session incluye el patrón :1234567 para habilitar los siete días; puedes restringir días según tu operativa.
En cuanto al uso práctico, el indicador facilita identificar: (1) la estructura del rango por sub-sesión (útil para estrategias de breakout/mean-reversion), (2) los solapamientos entre Londres y New York, donde suele concentrarse la liquidez, y (3) períodos de menor volatilidad (tramos tardíos de Asia o previos a noticias). El color independiente por bloque te permite codificar visualmente la importancia o tu plan de trading (por ejemplo, tonos más intensos en ventanas de alta probabilidad).
Finalmente, su diseño modular hace sencilla la personalización: puedes ajustar colores, activar/desactivar bloques, cambiar horarios y modificar la resolución de reseteo del rango. Como posible mejora, se pueden añadir alertas de ruptura de máximos/mínimos de sub-sesión o etiquetas con la altura del rango (pips) al cierre. Este indicador no sustituye el juicio del trader ni constituye recomendación financiera, pero ofrece una base visual robusta para integrar el factor tiempo en la toma de decisiones.
This sessions indicator is built for intraday traders who want a precise, time-aware view of market activity and typical volatility patterns across the day. Written in Pine Script v5 and optimized for the “America/New_York” timezone, it divides the trading day into configurable sub-sessions and highlights their price ranges in real time. Specifically, it provides three blocks for New York (NY1, NY2, NY3), two for London (LON1, LON2), two for Tokyo (TKO1, TKO2), and keeps Sydney as an optional session. Each block can be enabled or disabled independently and comes with its own adjustable color, letting you build clear visual maps for time-based strategies, overlaps, and microstructure nuances.
In the inputs panel you’ll find the “Activate High/Low View” option. When enabled, the indicator incrementally computes each sub-session’s low and high and shades the area between them with fill, giving you an immediate reference to the intra-session range (useful for gauging compression/expansion and potential breakouts). When disabled, it switches to a clean bgcolor background by block—ideal if you prefer a minimal chart and simply want to distinguish time windows at a glance.
The core logic relies on two helper functions: is_session(sess), which detects whether the current bar falls within a given time window, and is_newbar(sess), which identifies the start of a new reference bar according to your chosen reset resolution (D, W, or M). With this combination, each sub-session resets its high/low at the beginning of the period and updates them bar by bar while the block remains active. This prevents cross-contamination between sessions and ensures the range you see belongs strictly to the configured segment.
Default hours are suited to Forex and include segments that cross midnight (e.g., Tokyo 2 and Sydney). Pine Script supports ranges like 2200-0200; however, if your broker or chart timezone causes partial shading, simply split the segment into two: 2200-2359 and 0000-0200. Each input.session uses the :1234567 suffix to enable all seven days; you can easily restrict days to match your plan.
Practically speaking, the indicator helps you identify: (1) range structure by sub-session (great for breakout or mean-reversion frameworks), (2) overlaps between London and New York, where liquidity and directional moves often concentrate, and (3) lower-volatility windows (late Asia or pre-news lulls). Independent colors per block let you visually encode priority or your trading plan (for example, richer tones in high-probability windows).
Thanks to its modular design, customization is straightforward: adjust colors, toggle blocks, change hours, and tweak the range-reset resolution to suit your routine. As a natural extension, you can add alerts for sub-session high/low breakouts or labels that display the range height (in pips) at session close. While no indicator replaces trader judgment or constitutes financial advice, this tool offers a robust visual foundation for incorporating the time factor directly into your decision-making, helping you contextualize price action within the rhythm of global trading sessions.
Intraday vs Overnight OBV🔍 Purpose
This indicator provides a volume-weighted cumulative flow model that mimics On-Balance Volume (OBV) logic but splits the volume impact into intraday vs. overnight sessions. It allows traders to track how volume contributes to price movement in each session and identify whether buying/selling pressure is stronger during or outside of regular trading hours.
This indicator attempts to alleviate some of the downfalls of the standard OBV indicator, which only looks at total volume and total direction. The price of stocks generally behaves extremely differently during market hours and outside market hours, and many of the large moves happen outside of regular market hours on low volume.
⚙️ Core Features
1) OBV-style calculation:
If price increases → volume is added to the OBV stream.
If price decreases → volume is subtracted.
If price is flat → OBV remains unchanged.
2) Session splitting:
Intraday session: movement from today's open to close.
Overnight session: movement from yesterday’s close to today’s open.
Volume is split proportionally between these two periods based on user input.
3) Four visualization modes:
"Intraday" — plots only OBV from intraday price movement.
"Overnight" — plots only OBV from overnight price movement.
"Aggregate" — plots the sum of intraday and overnight OBV for a holistic view.
"Both Intraday and Overnight" — plots intraday and overnight OBV separately on the same chart.
📐 Inputs
1) Synthetic OBV Type:
"Intraday" — Show OBV from open to close only.
"Overnight" — Show OBV from prior close to today's open only.
"Aggregate" — Show a single line combining both.
"Both Intraday and Overnight" — Show both lines on the same chart.
2) Estimated Overnight Volume %:
Percentage of total daily volume assumed to occur during extended hours.
The rest is allocated to regular session (intraday).
Default: 20% overnight, 80% intraday.
🧮 How It Works
Volume Splitting:
Total bar volume is split into overnight Volume and intraday Volume:
Intraday change is the difference between today’s close and open.
Overnight change is the difference between today’s open and yesterday’s close.
Session OBV Calculations:
OBV is incremented/decremented by the session's allocated volume, depending on whether the session’s price change was positive or negative.
Aggregate OBV:
Combines both session deltas for a holistic volume flow view.
📊 Interpretation
Rising OBV (any stream) suggests accumulation; falling OBV suggests distribution.
Divergences between price and OBV lines (especially overnight vs. intraday) can reveal where hidden buying/selling is occurring.
Comparing intraday vs overnight OBV can help:
Spot whether institutional demand is building off-hours.
Detect retail vs. institutional behavior (retail trades often dominate intraday; institutional may prefer after-hours).
💡 Use Cases
Identify whether overnight gaps are supported by overnight volume momentum.
Detect accumulation in low-volume overnight sessions.
Compare intraday and overnight strength during earnings season or news events.
Complement traditional OBV by seeing session-based breakdowns.
OpeningRange (Trading_Tix)Purpose:
The indicator highlights the high, low, and middle (50%) price levels of a specified session's opening range. These levels can serve as key support and resistance zones for trading strategies. The indicator also offers options to extend these levels beyond the session into later timeframes, making it useful for tracking breakout or trend continuation setups.
Key Features:
1. Session Detection:
The indicator identifies a specific session period using the user-defined Session Time. It calculates the start time, high, and low prices during this period:
rangeTime: Defines the session time range (default: 5:00 PM to 2:59 AM).
extendTime: Defines the extended time range where lines/backgrounds can be prolonged.
2. Opening Range Calculation:
High (high_val) and Low (low_val)**:
Tracks the highest and lowest prices during the session.
Middle Line:
A midpoint is calculated by averaging high_val and low_val.
3. Visual Elements:
Horizontal Lines:
Drawn at the high, low, and middle levels.
Customizable in width and color.
Shaded Background Box:
Covers the range between high and low prices.
The box’s color and transparency can be adjusted.
Line and Box Extension:
Optionally extends these elements into the extended time range.
4. Customization:
Users have the flexibility to:
Toggle visibility of lines, middle line, and background box.
Adjust colors, line thickness, and style.
Enable or disable the extension of lines and backgrounds into the extended period.
How It Works:
Initialization:
The script initializes variables to store range data (startTime, high_val, low_val) and drawing objects (lines, boxes).
It detects whether the current bar falls within the session (inSession) or extended timeframe (inExtend).
Plotting:
During the session:
Deletes previous lines and boxes from prior sessions.
Draws new lines at the high, low, and middle levels.
Creates a background box covering the range, if enabled.
During the extended period:
Extends the session lines and box, if the user has opted for extensions.
Updates:
Continuously adjusts the high/low values and updates the lines as new price data arrives.
Use Cases:
This indicator can be valuable for traders who:
Use the opening range to identify potential breakout zones.
Trade based on price consolidation within the range.
Want a visual representation of key price levels to plan entries and exits.

time_filtersLibrary "time_filters"
Collection of filters that related with time like sessions and datetime ranges.
All existing session functions I found in the documentation e.g. not na(time(timeframe.period, sessionTimes))
are not suitable for strategies, since the execution of the entries and the exits are delayed by one bar.
Thus I created this library to overcome this small but very important limitation.
is_in_date_range(fromDate, toDate, srcTimezone, dstTimezone, t)
is_in_date_range - Check if the given time is between the start and end dates
Parameters:
fromDate : - The start date in UNIX time of the valid range
toDate : - The end date in UNIX time of the valid range
srcTimezone : - The timezone of reference for the 'from' and 'to' dates
dstTimezone : - The target timezone to convert the 'from' and 'to' dates
t : - The time to compare in UNIX format
Returns: series of bool whether or not the time is inside the valid range
is_in_session(startTime, endTime, days, srcTimezone, dstTimezone, t)
is_in_session - Check if the given time is inside the session as defined by the input params

chrono_utilsLibrary "chrono_utils"
Collection of objects and common functions that are related to datetime windows session days and time
ranges. The main purpose of this library is to handle time-related functionality and make it easy to reason about a
future bar and see if it is part of a predefined user session and/or inside a datetime window. All existing session
functions I found in the documentation e.g. "not na(time(timeframe, session, timezone))" are not suitable for
strategies, since the execution of the orders is delayed by one bar due to the execution happening at the bar close.
So a prediction for the next bar is necessary. Moreover, a history operator with a negative value is not allowed e.g.
`not na(time(timeframe, session, timezone) )` expression is not valid. Thus, I created this library to overcome
this small but very important limitation. In the meantime, I added useful functionality to handle session-based
behavior. An interesting utility that emerged from this development is data anomaly detection where a comparison
between the prediction and the actual value is happening. If those two values are different then a data inconsistency
happens between the prediction bar and the actual bar (probably due to a holiday or half session day etc..)

Number of Bars CheatSheetA regular trading day on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) consists of two main sessions: the Opening Auction and the Closing Auction, separated by a continuous trading session. Here's a breakdown of the trading day:
1. **Pre-Opening Session**: This session starts at 4:00 AM Eastern Time (ET) and lasts until 9:30 AM ET. During this time, there is limited trading activity, and orders can be entered and canceled. However, most of the trading activity doesn't occur until the regular trading session begins.
2. **Regular Trading Session**: The regular trading session on the NYSE starts at 9:30 AM ET and lasts until 4:00 PM ET. This is the primary trading session where the majority of price bars are formed.
3. **Closing Auction**: After the regular trading session ends at 4:00 PM ET, there is a closing auction period that typically lasts until 4:10 PM ET. During this time, there is a final price discovery process where orders are matched to determine the closing price for each security.
So, during the regular trading session, which is the main focus for most traders and investors, there are a total of 6.5 hours of trading. Trading occurs continuously during this time, with price bars being formed based on the time frame you're looking at. The most common time frames for price bars are one minute, five minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and one hour, among others. Therefore, the number of price bars in a regular trading day on the NYSE will depend on the time frame you are using for your analysis. For example, if you are using one-minute bars, there will be 6.5 x 60 = 390 price bars in a regular trading day.
EMA20 Cross Strategy with countertrades and signalsEMA20 Cross Strategy Documentation
Overview
The EMA20 Cross Strategy with Counter-Trades and Instant Signals is a Pine Script (version 6) trading strategy designed for the TradingView platform. It implements an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover system to generate buy and sell signals, with optional trend filtering, session-based trading, instant signal processing, and visual/statistical feedback. The strategy supports counter-trades (closing opposing positions before entering new ones) and operates with a fixed trade size in EUR.
Features
EMA Crossover Mechanism:
Uses a short-term EMA (configurable length, default: 1) and a long-term EMA (default: 20) to detect crossovers.
A buy signal is generated when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA.
A sell signal is generated when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA.
Instant Signals:
If enabled (useInstantSignals), signals are based on the current price crossing the short EMA, rather than waiting for the candle close.
This allows faster trade execution but may increase sensitivity to price fluctuations.
Trend Filter:
Optionally filters trades based on the trend direction (useTrendFilter).
Long trades are allowed only when the short EMA (or price, for instant signals) is above the long EMA.
Short trades are allowed only when the short EMA (or price) is below the long EMA.
Session Filter:
Restricts trading to specific market hours (sessionStart, default: 09:00–17:00) if enabled (useSessionFilter).
Ensures trades occur only during active market sessions, reducing exposure to low-liquidity periods.
Customizable Timeframe:
The EMA calculations can use a higher timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, default: 1H) via request.security.
This allows the strategy to base signals on longer-term trends while operating on a shorter-term chart.
Trade Management:
Fixed trade size of €100,000 per trade (tradeAmount), with a maximum quantity cap (maxQty = 10,000) to prevent oversized trades.
Counter-trades: Closes short positions before entering a long position and vice versa.
Trades are executed with a minimum quantity of 1 to ensure valid orders.
Visualization:
EMA Lines: The short EMA is colored based on the last signal (green for buy, red for sell, gray for neutral), and the long EMA is orange.
Signal Markers: Displays buy/sell signals as arrows (triangles) above/below candles if enabled (showSignalShapes).
Background/Candle Coloring: Optionally colors the chart background or candles green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on the trend (useColoredBars).
Statistics Display:
If enabled (useStats), a label on the chart shows:
Total closed trades
Open trades
Win rate (%)
Number of winning/losing trades
Profit factor (gross profit / gross loss)
Net profit
Maximum drawdown
Configuration Inputs
EMA Short Length (emaLength): Length of the short-term EMA (default: 1).
Trend EMA Length (trendLength): Length of the long-term EMA (default: 20).
Enable Trend Filter (useTrendFilter): Toggles trend-based filtering (default: true).
Color Candles (useColoredBars): Colors candles instead of the background (default: true).
Enable Session Filter (useSessionFilter): Restricts trading to specified hours (default: false).
Trading Session (sessionStart): Defines trading hours (default: 09:00–17:00).
Show Statistics (useStats): Displays performance stats on the chart (default: true).
Show Signal Arrows (showSignalShapes): Displays buy/sell signals as arrows (default: true).
Use Instant Signals (useInstantSignals): Generates signals based on live price action (default: false).
EMA Timeframe (emaTimeframe): Timeframe for EMA calculations (options: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D; default: 1H).
Strategy Logic
Signal Generation:
Standard Mode: Signals are based on EMA crossovers (short EMA crossing long EMA) at candle close.
Instant Mode: Signals are based on the current price crossing the short EMA, enabling faster reactions.
Trade Execution:
On a buy signal, closes any short position and opens a long position.
On a sell signal, closes any long position and opens a short position.
Position size is calculated as the minimum of €100,000 or available equity, divided by the current price, capped at 10,000 units.
Filters:
Trend Filter: Ensures trades align with the trend direction (if enabled).
Session Filter: Restricts trades to user-defined market hours (if enabled).
Visual Feedback
EMA Lines: Provide a clear view of the short and long EMAs, with the short EMA’s color reflecting the latest signal.
Signal Arrows: Large green triangles (buy) below candles or red triangles (sell) above candles for easy signal identification.
Chart Coloring: Highlights bullish (green) or bearish (red) trends via background or candle colors.
Statistics Label: Displays key performance metrics in a label above the chart for quick reference.
Usage Notes
Initial Capital: €100,000 (configurable via initial_capital).
Currency: EUR (set via currency).
Order Processing: Orders are processed at candle close (process_orders_on_close=true) unless instant signals are enabled.
Dynamic Requests: Allows dynamic timeframe adjustments for EMA calculations (dynamic_requests=true).
Platform: Designed for TradingView, compatible with any market supported by the platform (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto).
Example Use Case
Scenario: Trading on a 5-minute chart with a 1-hour EMA timeframe, trend filter enabled, and session filter set to 09:00–17:00.
Behavior: The strategy will:
Calculate EMAs on the 1-hour timeframe.
Generate buy signals when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA (and price is above the long EMA).
Generate sell signals when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA (and price is below the long EMA).
Execute trades only during 09:00–17:00.

The Daily Bias Dashboard📜 Overview
This indicator is a powerful statistical tool designed to provide traders with a probable Daily Bias based on historical price action. It is built upon the concepts of Quarterly Theory, which divides the 24-hour trading day into 4 distinct sessions to analyze market behavior.
This tool analyzes how the market has behaved in the past to give you a statistical edge. It answers the question: "Based on the last X number of days, what is the most likely way the price will move during the Newyork AM & PM Sessions based on Asian & London Sessions?"
⚙️ How It Works
The indicator divides the 24-hour day (based on the America/New_York timezone) into two 12-hour halves:
First Half - 12 Hour Candle: The Accumulation/Manipulation or Asian/London Sessions (6 PM to 6 AM NY Time)
This period covers the Asian session and the start of the London session.
The indicator's only job here is to identify the highest high and lowest low of this 12-hour block, establishing the initial daily range.
Second Half - 12 Hour Candle: The Distribution/Continuation or NY AM/PM Sessions (6 AM to 6 PM NY Time)
This period covers the main London session and the full New York session.
The indicator actively watches to see if, and in what order, the price breaks out of the range established in Session 1 (FIrst Half of the day).
By tracking this behavior over hundreds of days, the indicator compiles statistics on four possible daily scenarios.
📊 The Four Scenarios & The Dashboard
The indicator presents its findings in a clean, easy-to-read dashboard, calculating the historical probability of each of the following scenarios:
↓ Low, then ↑ High: The price first breaks the low of Session 1 (often a liquidity sweep or stop hunt) before reversing to break the high of Session 1. This suggests a "sweep and reverse" bullish day.
↑ High, then ↓ Low: The price first breaks the high of Session 1 before reversing to break the low of Session 1. This suggests a "sweep and reverse" bearish day.
One-Sided Breakout: The price breaks only one of the boundaries (either the high or the low) and continues in that direction without taking the other side. This indicates a strong, trending day.
No Breakout (Inside Bar): The price fails to break either the high or the low of Session 1, remaining contained within its range. This indicates a day of consolidation and low volatility.
🧠 How to Use This Indicator
This is a confluence tool, not a standalone trading system. Its purpose is to help you frame a high-probability narrative for the trading day.
Establish a Bias: Start checking the dashboard at 06:00 AM Newyork time, which is the start of next half day trading session. If one scenario has a significantly higher probability (e.g., "One-Sided Breakout" at 89%), you have a statistically-backed directional bias in the direction of Breakout.
🔧 Features & Settings
Historical Days to Analyze: Set how many past days the indicator should use for its statistical analysis (default is 500).
Session Timezone : The calculation is locked to America/New_York as it is central to the Quarterly Theory concept, but this setting ensures correct alignment.
Dashboard Display: Fully customize the on-screen table, including its position and text size, or hide it completely.
⚠️ Important Notes
For maximum accuracy, use this indicator on hourly (H1) or lower timeframes.
The statistical probabilities are based on past performance and are not a guarantee of future results.
This tool is designed to sharpen your analytical skills and provide a robust, data-driven framework for your daily trading decisions. Use it to build confidence in your directional bias and to better understand the rhythm of the market.

True Open CalculationsIndicator Description: True Open Calculations
This custom Pine Script indicator calculates and plots key "True Open" levels based on specific time intervals and trading sessions. The True Open levels represent significant price points on the chart, helping traders identify key reference points tied to various market opening times. These levels are important for understanding price action in relation to market sessions and trading cycles. The indicator is designed to plot lines corresponding to different "True Opens" on the chart and display labels with the associated information.
Key Features:
True Year Open:
This represents the opening price on the first Monday of April each year. It serves as a reference point for the yearly price level.
Plot Color: Green.
True Month Open:
This represents the opening price on the second Monday of each month. It helps in identifying monthly trends and provides a key reference for monthly price movements.
Plot Color: Blue.
True Week Open:
This represents the opening price every Monday at 6:00 PM. It gives traders a level to track weekly opening movements and can be useful for weekly trend analysis.
Plot Color: Orange.
True Day Open:
This represents the opening price at 12:00 AM (midnight) each day. It serves as a daily benchmark for price action at the start of the trading day.
Plot Color: Red.
True New York Session Open:
This represents the opening price at 7:30 AM (New York session start time). This level is crucial for traders focused on the New York trading session.
Plot Color: Purple.
Additional Features:
Labels: The indicator displays labels to the right of each plotted line to describe which "True Open" it represents (e.g., "True Year Open," "True Month Open," etc.).
Dynamic Plotting: The lines are only plotted on the current candle, and the lines are dynamically updated for each time period based on the corresponding "True Open."
Visual Cues: The colors of the plotted lines (green, blue, orange, red, purple) help quickly distinguish between different "True Open" levels, making it easy for traders to track price action and make informed decisions.
Use Cases:
Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and Session Benchmarking: This indicator provides traders with important price levels to use as benchmarks for the current year, month, week, and day, helping to identify trends and potential reversals.
Session Awareness: It is particularly useful for traders who want to track key market sessions, such as the New York session, and their impact on price movement.
Long-term Analysis: By including the yearly open, this indicator helps traders gain a broader perspective on market trends and provides context for analyzing shorter-term price movements.
Benefits:
Helps identify important reference points for longer-term trends (yearly, monthly) as well as shorter-term moves (daily, weekly, and session).
Visually intuitive with color-coded lines and labels, allowing quick and easy identification of key market open levels.
Dynamic and real-time: The indicator plots and updates the True Open levels dynamically as the market progresses.

Intraday Volume Pulse GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIAIntraday Volume Pulse Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to track and visualize intraday volume dynamics during a user-defined trading session. It calculates and displays key volume metrics such as buy volume, sell volume, cumulative delta (difference between buy and sell volumes), and total volume. The data is presented in a customizable table overlay on the chart, making it easy to monitor volume pulses throughout the session. This can help traders identify buying or selling pressure in real-time, particularly useful for intraday strategies.
The indicator resets its calculations at the start of each new day and only accumulates volume data from the specified session start time onward. It uses simple logic to classify volume as buy or sell based on candle direction:
Buy Volume: Assigned to green (up) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
Sell Volume: Assigned to red (down) candles or half of neutral (doji) candles.
All calculations are approximate and based on available volume data from the chart. This script does not incorporate external data sources, order flow, or tick-level information—it's purely derived from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) bars.
Key Features
Session Customization: Define the start time of your trading session (e.g., market open) and select from common timezones like Asia/Kolkata, America/New_York, etc.
Volume Metrics:
Buy Volume: Total volume attributed to bullish activity.
Sell Volume: Total volume attributed to bearish activity.
Cumulative Delta: Net difference (Buy - Sell), highlighting overall market bias.
Total Volume: Sum of all volume during the session.
Formatted Display: Volumes are formatted for readability (e.g., in thousands "K", lakhs "L", or crores "Cr" for large numbers).
Color-Coded Table: Uses a patriotic color scheme inspired by general themes (Saffron, White, Green) with dynamic backgrounds based on positive/negative values for quick visual interpretation.
Table Options: Toggle visibility and position (top-right, top-left, etc.) for a clean chart layout.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply this indicator to any symbol's chart (works best on intraday timeframes like 1-min, 5-min, or 15-min).
Configure Inputs:
Session Start Hour/Minute: Set to your market's open time (default: 9:15 for Indian markets).
Timezone: Choose the appropriate timezone to align with your trading hours.
Show Table: Enable/disable the metrics table.
Table Position: Place the table where it doesn't obstruct your view.
Interpret the Table:
Monitor for spikes in buy/sell volume or shifts in cumulative delta.
Positive delta (green) suggests buying pressure; negative (red) suggests selling.
Use alongside price action or other indicators for confirmation—e.g., high total volume with positive delta could indicate bullish momentum.
Limitations:
Volume classification is heuristic and not based on actual order flow (e.g., it splits doji volume evenly).
Data accumulation starts from the session time and resets daily; historical backtesting may be limited by the max_bars_back=500 setting.
This is for educational and visualization purposes only—do not use as sole basis for trading decisions.
Calculation Details
Session Filter: Uses timestamp() to define the session start and filters bars with time >= sessionStart.
New Day Detection: Resets volumes on daily changes via ta.change(time("D")).
Volume Assignment:
Buy: Full volume if close > open; half if close == open.
Sell: Full volume if close < open; half if close == open.
Cumulative Metrics: Accumulated only during the session.
Formatting: Custom function f_format() scales large numbers for brevity.

LANZ Strategy 7.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 7.0 — Multi-Session Breakout Logic with Midnight-Cross Support, Dynamic SL/TP, Multi-Account Lot Sizing & Real-Time Visual Tracking
LANZ Strategy 7.0 is a robust, visually-driven trading indicator designed to capture high-probability breakouts from a customizable market session.
It includes full support for sessions that cross midnight, dynamic calculation of Entry Price (EP), Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, and a multi-account lot sizing panel for precise risk management.
The system is built to only trigger one trade per day and manages the full trade lifecycle with automated visual cleanup and detailed alerts.
📌 This is an indicator, not a strategy — it does not place trades automatically, but provides exact entry setups, SL/TP levels, risk-based lot size guidance, and real-time alerts for execution.
🧠 Core Logic & Features
🚀 Entry Signal (BUY/SELL)
The trading day begins with a Decision Session (yellow box) where the high/low range is recorded.
Once the Operative Session starts (blue zone), the first touch of the session’s high triggers a BUY setup, and the first touch of the session’s low triggers a SELL setup.
Only one valid trade can be triggered per day — the system locks after the first signal.
⚙️ Dynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit
SL levels are derived from the Decision Session high/low using customizable Fibonacci multipliers (independent for BUY and SELL).
TP is dynamically calculated from the EP–SL distance using a user-defined Risk:Reward ratio (R:R).
All EP, SL, and TP levels are drawn as independent lines with customizable colors, label text size, and style.
⏳ Session & Midnight-Cross Support
Works with any custom Decision/Operative session hours, including sessions that start one day and end the next.
Properly tracks time zones using New York session time for consistency.
Includes Cutoff Time: after this limit, no new entries are allowed, and all visuals are auto-cleared if no trade was triggered.
💰 Multi-Account Risk-Based Lot Sizing
Supports up to 5 independent accounts.
Each account can have:
Own capital
Own risk percentage per trade
Lot size is auto-calculated based on:
SL distance (in pips or points)
Pip value (auto-detected for Forex or manually set for indices/commodities)
Results are displayed in a clean lot size info panel.
🖼️ Real-Time Visual Tracking
Dynamic updates to all levels during the Decision Session.
EP, SL, TP lines update if the session high/low changes before the Operative Session starts.
Trade result labels:
SL hit → “–1.00%” in red
TP hit → “+X.XX%” in green
Manual close at Operative End → shows actual % result in blue or purple.
🔔 Alerts for Every Key Event
Session start notification
EP entry triggered
SL or TP hit
Manual close at session end
Missed entry due to cutoff
🧭 Execution Flow
Decision Session (Yellow) — Capture high/low range.
Operative Session (Blue) — First touch of high = BUY setup; first touch of low = SELL setup.
Plot EP, SL, TP lines + calculate lot sizes for all active accounts.
Track trade until SL, TP, or Operative End.
If no entry triggered by Cutoff Time → clean all visuals and notify.
💡 Ideal For:
Traders who operate breakout logic on specific sessions (NY, London, Asian, or custom).
Those managing multiple accounts with strict risk per trade.
Anyone trading assets with sessions crossing midnight.
👨💻 Credits:
Developer: LANZ
Logic Design: LANZ
Built For: Multi-timeframe session breakouts with high precision.

London Breakout Tracker - Box Style📊 London Breakout Tracker (Pine Script v6)
This script is designed to track the Asian session range and identify breakout opportunities when the London session begins. It highlights high-probability trade setups and helps avoid fakeouts or overly wide ranges.
🧱 1. Session Time Definitions (Adjusted for Kenyan Time)
The Asian session is defined as:
3:00 AM to 11:00 AM (Kenyan Time)
🔐 2. Asian Session High & Low
During the Asian session:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low to define the range.
These are stored in variables: asianHigh and asianLow.
🧊 3. Box Drawing for the Asian Range
Once the Asian session ends:
A visual box is drawn around the session using box.new().
This box spans from the session start to end bars and from the high to low.
It helps visually see the range price must break out from.
🚨 4. Breakout Signals
After the Asian session:
A Long Breakout signal is generated if:
The candle closes above the Asian High.
A Short Breakout signal is generated if:
The candle closes below the Asian Low.
This corresponds to 00:00 to 08:00 UTC
These are shown with:
✅ Green up label for long breakouts
❌ Red down label for short breakouts
🧯 5. Fakeout Detection
If price breaks out but closes back inside the Asian range, it’s marked as a Fakeout:
Long Fakeout: Price breaks above high, then closes back below.
Short Fakeout: Price breaks below low, then closes back above.
These are marked with orange X-crosses above or below candles.
⚠️ 6. Wide Range Filter
If the Asian session range is too wide (e.g. > 40 pips), a gray background is drawn.
This warns you not to trade that day since breakouts from wide ranges are unreliable.
📣 7. Alert Conditions
The script can trigger alerts in TradingView when:
🔔 A Long or Short Breakout occurs
⚠️ A Fakeout is detected
You can set these up via the TradingView alert system.
🎯 Overall Purpose:
The script helps you:
Clearly see the Asian session range
Identify breakout opportunities at the London open
Avoid trading during fakeouts or wide-range sessions
Get alerted when breakout/fakeout conditions occur
Extended Hours Volume FlagOverview: The Extended Hours Volume Flag Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who are interested in monitoring and analyzing the volume activity during the extended trading hours—specifically the premarket (4:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and afterhours (4:00 PM to 8:00 PM) sessions. This indicator identifies and flags stocks where the trading volume during these extended hours exceeds 20% of the Average Volume (AVOL) during regular trading hours. Such occurrences often signal unusual activity or potential market-moving events, which can be crucial for informed trading decisions.
Concept: Volume is a critical factor in trading, often providing insights into market sentiment and potential price movements. However, volume during extended hours can be particularly revealing as it may indicate heightened interest or activity outside of the regular trading session. The Extended Hours Volume Flag Indicator is built on the concept that significant volume during premarket or afterhours trading sessions, relative to the average regular session volume, could be an early indicator of upcoming volatility or trends.
How It Works:
Session Segmentation: The indicator distinguishes between regular trading hours (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM) and extended hours (premarket and afterhours). It accumulates the trading volume separately for these sessions.
Volume Comparison: It calculates the Average Volume (AVOL) over a user-defined period (default is 14 days) during regular trading hours. It then compares the extended hours volume to this AVOL.
Flagging Condition: If the volume during the extended hours exceeds 20% of the AVOL, the indicator flags the stock with a warning symbol on the chart. This visual cue helps traders quickly identify stocks with potentially significant afterhours or premarket activity.
Reset Mechanism: The accumulated volumes reset at the start of the new trading day, ensuring accurate calculations for each day.
Usage: This indicator is ideal for traders who are looking for early signals of market activity outside regular hours, which might not be immediately visible when looking solely at price action. It is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who want to keep an eye on potential premarket or afterhours catalysts.
One Setup for Life ICTGuided by ICT tutoring, I create this versatile 'One Trading Set Up For Life' indicator
This indicator shows a different way of viewing the "Highs and Lows" of Previous Sessions, drawing from the current day until 09:30 AM, the time at which the Highs and Lows of the previous day's sessions can be taken into consideration for a Reversal or for a Take profit.
Levels tested after 9.30am will be blocked so you have a good and clear view of the levels affected
Timing Session =
London: 02:00 to 05:00
New York: 9.30am to 12.30pm
Lunch: 12.30pm to 1pm
PM Session: 1.30pm to 4pm
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose to view sessions or not
- Choose to show levels from previous sessions
- Choose to show today's session levels
- Choose between 08:30 and 09:30 the starting time for the Liquidity taken
- Choose to view High and Low only from the previous day
- See both the name of the Sessions and the price of the levels
The indicator must be used as ICT shows in its concepts, the indicator takes into consideration both previous sessions and today's sessions, and the session levels can be used both for a reversal and for a possible Take Profit like the example here under

FIRST-HOUR TOOL V.1.8.08.23Three horizontal lines are drawn on the chart to represent session prices. These prices are calculated based on the user-specified session:
"FirstHour Session High" represents the highest price reached during the firsthour session.
"FirstHour Session Open" represents the opening price of the firsthour session
"FirstHour Session Low" represents the lowest price reached during the firsthour session.
These prices are respectively colored with light blue, light yellow, and light pink.
The chart background can change color based on whether the current time is within the specified session. If the current time is within the session, the background will be colored in semi-transparent aqua green. Otherwise, it will remain transparent.
Upward-pointing triangle markers are used to highlight points where the closing price crosses above (crossover) or below (crossunder) the session levels.
These markers appear below the corresponding bar.
They are colored based on the type of crossover:
Yellow for crossover above the "FirstHour High"
Red for crossover above the "FirstHour Open"
Green for crossover above the "FirstHour Low"
Alerts:
Alert messages are generated when crossovers or crossunders of the closing price relative to the session levels occur.
The alerts appear once per bar. Alerts are generated for the following events:
Crossover of the price above the "Session High" with the message "High First Hour Crossover."
Crossunder of the price below the "Session Open" with the message "Open First Hour Crossunder."
Crossunder of the price below the "Session Low" with the message "Low First Hour Crossunder."
Crossover of the price above the "Session Low" with the message "Low First Hour Crossover."
In summary, this indicator provides a visual representation of session prices and events, helping traders spot significant crossovers and crossunders relative to key price levels.
