BB Session RangesBB Session Ranges Indicator
Overview
The Bender Bot Session Ranges indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to visualize and analyze important market sessions throughout the trading day. This indicator identifies and tracks price ranges during specific time periods, helping you spot potential trading opportunities based on session breakouts, retests, and range comparisons.
Key Features
• Multiple Session Tracking: Monitor up to 6 different time-based ranges simultaneously (pre-configured for NY AM Open, NY PM Open, Lunch, Premarket, Midnight Open, and a custom session).
• Range Visualization: Clearly displays high and low boundaries for each session with customizable colors and line styles.
• Historical Comparison: Tracks and displays the average size of ranges over time, helping you identify when current ranges are larger or smaller than typical.
• Flexible Time Settings: Easily configure exact session times based on your trading schedule and preferred markets.
• Range Extension Options: Extend range boundaries by bars, days, or weeks to track the longer-term influence of session ranges.
• Sidecar Information Display: Optional labels show range details, including size, percentage of average, and dollar value.
How It Works
The indicator identifies specific time-based sessions (for example, the first 5 minutes of the NY market open) and tracks the high and low prices established during these periods. Once a session is complete, the range boundaries are plotted on your chart and can be extended for further analysis. The indicator calculates the current range size and compares it to historical averages, giving you context for the day’s market behavior.
Sidecar Functionality
The sidecar feature is a key aspect of this indicator that helps keep your charts clean and organized. Instead of cluttering your price action with labels and annotations directly on the ranges, the sidecar system:
• Creates a dedicated information panel offset from the price action.
• Connects to ranges with discreet connecting lines.
• Displays key statistics like range size, dollar value, and percentage of average.
• Can be positioned at custom distances from the main chart (measured in bars).
• Allows you to see important data without interfering with your price analysis.
• Can be completely disabled when you prefer minimal chart elements.
• Helps maintain visual clarity even when tracking multiple sessions simultaneously.
This design philosophy puts trader experience first by separating information display from price action analysis, giving you the best of both worlds: clean charts and detailed information.
Setup Guide
1. Choose Your Sessions: Enable or disable each of the six available ranges by setting the Max Ranges to Plot parameter (use 0 to disable a range).
2. Configure Session Times: Set exact times for each range using standard 24-hour format (for example, 0930-0935 for 9:30-9:35 AM).
3. Customize Display: Select colors, line widths, and information display options for each range.
4. Set Extension Parameters: Choose how far to extend range lines (by a number of bars, days, or weeks, or select Always for continuous extension).
5. Configure Sidecar Labels: Set the offset for the information displays (use 0 to disable sidecar labels entirely).
Trading Applications
• Identify potential support and resistance levels based on session highs and lows.
• Compare current session ranges to historical averages to gauge volatility.
• Look for breakouts from established session ranges.
• Use range extensions to anticipate potential price targets.
• Monitor multiple session ranges to identify pattern correlations.
Advanced Usage
The indicator includes fields that help you assess range size relative to past performance, including dollar value calculations. This can be particularly useful for position sizing and risk management when trading breakouts from these ranges.
Future Development
We’re actively working on expanding this indicator to include robust strategy and alert functionality. This will allow traders to:
• Backtest trading strategies based on session range breakouts and retests.
• Customize entry, exit, and risk management parameters.
• Receive real-time alerts when price interacts with significant range levels.
• Set conditional alerts based on range size compared to historical averages.
• Automate trading decisions based on your specific session-based criteria.
If these strategy and alert features would be valuable for your trading, please let us know in the comments. Your feedback directly influences our development priorities and helps us create tools that best serve the trading community.
Notes
• All times are based on the America/New_York timezone.
• The indicator dynamically adjusts to different timeframes, providing consistent results whether you’re viewing 1-minute or daily charts.
• Range calculations are based on the highs and lows established during the defined sessions.

Simple SessionsThis is a simple sessions indicator that allows you to highlight up to 3 different sessions on your chart. This is intended for charts in any timeframe lower than the Daily timeframe. Really simple, clean, and minimalistic on purpose, intended to help and not clutter the chart.
Options/parameters:
Sessions: Check and setup beginning and end of the sessions. Up to 3 sessions at the same time.
Enable specific timezone: You can specify your exact timezone so that the sessions stay consistent even when you’re viewing different assets from different brokers that might be providing the price data in different timezones.
Show next day: Check to allow for your sessions to be viewed in advance for the following day so that you can expect your trading session in the chart (something simple, but quite useful).
Show next day input also accepts an integer value (default at 0). This numeric value is useful only for a few different assets that don’t have price data (aren’t tradable) 24 hours of each week-day. When that’s the case the calculation to show the session in the future day is not precise so with this number you can adjust it. For example, on OANDA:SPX500USD in the 30m time-frame, between 5pm and 6pm NY time there’s no price data. If you check that chart on any day at 4:30pm NY time, the next bar should be at 5pm, however since there’s no data it jumps to 6pm NY time. For that example you can set the input number to -2 and it will move the sessions to the correct time window you specified in the Sessions input.
Optional comment: This is a comment that will be shown in the status line. There’s no other use for this. It’s only helpful when you have multiple instances of the indicator for different assets for example. In that case with this comment you would be able to instantly detect which indicator is for which chart.

Trading Sessions - SonarlabThe Trading Sessions indicator shows the most significant trading sessions for the Forex market, such as London, New York and Asian.
The sessions are presented as colored boxes on the chart, thereby clearly indicating open and close times of a particular session, as well as its trading range.
How is this Forex market session indicator used?
Traders normally use trading sessions to determine the volatile hours throughout the day, since the trading activities vary from one stock exchange to another.
London and New York market trading sessions are considered to be the most volatile, especially during the 4-hour overlap.
There are also strategies aiming only at the opening of the London session or those that allow trading only during the Asian session.

Simple Sessions - [TTF]In working with a lot of new traders, one of the most common hurdles that they tend to encounter is properly identifying the various major trading sessions around the world. While it's pretty intuitive to grasp the basic concept, the biggest struggle is around the time conversion. Most people are pretty familiar with the trading session most local to them (e.g. US residents are generally pretty familiar with when the US session is relative to their local timezone), but tend to have much more difficulty in determining when exactly the start and end times are of "foreign" sessions (e.g. Europe or Tokyo). This can be even more challenging when trying to account for regional time differences (like Daylight Savings Time), and larger global time differences (e.g. seasons in opposite hemispheres are reversed). It was with these things in mind that we took to making this version of a sessions indicator to help people better visualize and interact with the various sessions in a more intuitive manner.
Key features include:
Individual settings and configuration for each major session (America/New York, Europe/London, and Asia/Tokyo), along with customizable highlighting color for the Europe/US Mixed session
Session start and end times are configured as the local time for those session (e.g. America/New York session time is configured relative to the US Eastern timezone)
The indicator will automatically handle the timezone conversion and correctly display the sessions on chart regardless of the user's on-chart configured timezone
Users can customize which days of the week that they want the sessions to include or exclude based on their personal preferences and trading schedule (e.g. exclude Fridays since that is when most news events occur)
There is an additional fully-customizable session that can be configured (including reference timezone) for a fully-custom trading window visualization (helpful for people with constraints in their trading availability and can't align with one of the "major" sessions)
We hope that the community finds this as helpful as we hope, and feedback is always welcome!
Trading Session Highs and LowsTrading Session Highs and Lows
This script provides an intuitive way to visualize key market levels from major trading sessions: Asia, London, New York, and New York Close. By automatically plotting the high and low of each session, it helps traders quickly identify important price levels that could impact market behavior.

Customizable Lines and Labels: You can adjust the line style, width, and color for each session’s high/low markers. The session name (e.g., "London", "New York") and the PDH/PDL (Prior Day High and Low) are also shown to give clear context.
Real-Time Updates: The levels are updated in real-time to reflect the current price action, helping you gauge price movement throughout the trading day.
Customizable Indicators: Easily adjust the visibility of the different sessions and the labels to focus on the session that matters most to your trading strategy.
This tool is designed to help day traders spot important levels for potential breakouts or reversals, making it easier to base your trading decisions on well-established price points. Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, and anyone who trades across multiple sessions.

Simple Sessions## Background ##
Simple Sessions is based on the very awesome "Sessions on Chart" by Aurocks_AIF.
I really liked how the background colours worked but wanted to simplify it by removing some parts that I didn't use. I then simplified much of the code, put it into my standard template format and re-published. Hopefully the code is a bit cleaner and easier to read now.
## Usage ##
The default indicator shows the following sessions:
* Sydney in Navy
* Tokyo in Purple
* London in Green
* New York in Red
The good news is that using Green and Red for London and New York, gives a nice distinct yellow for the overlapping sessions. Sydney and Tokyo are by in similar colors by design.
By default, only London and New York show, but you may turn on Sydney and Tokyo in the settings.

Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator# Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator
This indicator identifies high-probability trading opportunities by tracking key intraday sessions and their breakouts while aligning them with the overall market trend direction.
## What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike standard breakout indicators that only identify when price crosses a threshold, this indicator:
- Dynamically identifies and tracks important daily sessions (default: AM 09:00-10:00 and PM 15:00-16:00)
- Determines trend direction using a triple EMA system (20/50/200)
- Shows when breakouts align with the overall trend (higher probability setups)
- Provides visual confirmation with session ranges, breakout levels, and background highlighting
- Includes a comprehensive information panel showing trend/session alignment
## How It Works
The indicator tracks two important daily sessions:
1. **AM Session**: Typically the first hour of trading (default: 09:00-10:00)
2. **PM Session**: Typically the last hour of trading (default: 15:00-16:00)
For each session, it:
- Marks the high and low range
- Establishes breakout levels above/below these ranges
- Detects when price breaks beyond these levels
- Determines if the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend
The trend is calculated using three EMAs (20, 50, 200) for reliable trend identification.
## How To Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart (works best on 5-minute timeframes)
2. Adjust session times to match your trading schedule if needed
3. Watch for breakouts above session highs (bullish) or below session lows (bearish)
4. Check the information panel to see if the breakout aligns with the trend
5. Enter trades in the direction of trend-aligned breakouts for higher probability setups
6. Set stop losses below the opposite side of the session range
## Settings
- **Session Times**: Customize AM and PM session times
- **EMA Lengths**: Adjust trend determination sensitivity
- **Visualization Options**: Toggle display of sessions, breakouts, and VWAP
- **Alert Settings**: Configure alerts for breakouts and trend-aligned conditions
This indicator is valuable for day traders and swing traders looking for objective entry points with higher probability of success.
