TLC sessionA Professional Intraday Session Tracker with VWAP and Economic Event Integration
Description
This indicator provides visual tracking of major trading sessions (Asian, London, New York) combined with VWAP calculations and macroeconomic event zones. It's designed for intraday traders who need to monitor session overlaps, liquidity periods, and high-impact news events.
The basic script of trading sessions was taken as a basis and refined for greater convenience.
Key Features:
Customizable Session Tracking: Visualize up to 3 trading sessions with adjustable time zones (supports IANA & GMT formats)
Dynamic VWAP Integration: Built-in Volume-Weighted Average Price calculation
Macro Event Zones: Highlights key economic announcement windows (adjustable for summer/winter time)
Price Action Visualization: Displays open/close prices, session ranges, and average price levels
Automatic DST Adjustment: Uses IANA timezone database for daylight savings awareness
How It Works
1. Trading Session Detection
Three fully configurable sessions (e.g., Asia, London, New York)
Each session displays:
Colored background zone
Opening price (dashed line)
Closing price (dashed line)
Average price (dotted line)
Optional label with session name
2. VWAP Calculation
Standard Volume-Weighted Average Price plotted as circled line
Helps identify fair value within each session
3. Macro Event Zones
Special highlighted period for economic news releases
Automatically adjusts for summer/winter time
Default set to 1000-1200 (summer) or 0900-1100 (winter) GMT-5 (US session open)
Why This Indicator is Unique
Multi-Session Awareness
Unlike simple session indicators, this tool:
Tracks price development within each session
Shows session overlaps (critical for volatility periods)
Maintains separate VWAP calculations across sessions
Professional-Grade Features
IANA timezone support (automatic DST handling)
Customizable visual elements (toggle labels, ranges, averages)
Object-based architecture (clean, efficient rendering)
News event integration (helps avoid trading during high-impact releases)
Usage Recommendations
Best Timeframes
1-minute to 1-hour charts (intraday focus)
Not recommended for daily+ timeframes
Trading Applications
1. Session Breakout Strategy: Trade breakouts when London/New York sessions open
2. VWAP Reversion: Fade moves that deviate too far from VWAP

ICT Macro Sessions by @zeusbottradingICT Macro Sessions Indicator
The ICT Macro Sessions Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who follow the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and want to optimize their trading during specific high-probability time intervals. This indicator highlights all the key macro sessions throughout the trading day in the GMT+8 (Hong Kong) time zone.
What Does the Indicator Do?
This indicator visually marks ICT Macro Sessions on your trading chart using background colors and optional labels. Each session corresponds to specific time intervals when institutional activity is most likely to drive price action. By focusing on these periods, traders can align their strategies with market volatility and liquidity, increasing their chances of success.
Highlighted Sessions
The indicator covers all major ICT Macro Sessions, each with a unique color for easy identification:
London Macro 1 (15:33–16:00 GMT+8):
- Marks the early London session, often characterized by strong directional moves.
London Macro 2 (17:03–17:30 GMT+8):
- Captures the mid-London session, where price frequently reacts to liquidity levels.
New York AM Macro 1 (22:50–23:10 GMT+8):
- Highlights the start of the New York session, a prime time for price reversals or continuations.
New York AM Macro 2 (23:50–00:10 GMT+8):
- Focuses on late-morning New York activity, often aligning with key news releases.
New York Lunch Macro (00:50–01:10 GMT+8):
- Covers the lunch period in New York, where price may consolidate or set up for afternoon moves.
New York PM Macro 1 (02:10–02:40 GMT+8):
- Tracks post-lunch activity in New York, often featuring renewed volatility.
New York PM Macro 2 (04:15–04:45 GMT+8):
- Captures late-session moves as institutional traders finalize their positions.
Features of the Indicator
Fixed Time: The indicator is pre-configured for GMT+8 but it will adapt automatically to your timezone. No need to change anything in the code.
Background Highlighting: Each session is visually marked with a unique background color for quick recognition.
Optional Labels: Traders can enable or disable labels for each session, providing flexibility in how information is displayed.
Session Toggles: You can choose which sessions to display based on your trading preferences and strategy.

Why Use This Indicator?
The ICT Macro Sessions Indicator helps traders focus on the most critical times of the trading day when institutional activity is at its peak. These periods often coincide with significant price movements, making them ideal for scalping, day trading, or even swing trading setups. By visually highlighting these sessions, the indicator eliminates guesswork and allows traders to plan their trades with precision.

Note: Due to the way weekends are handled on some exchanges, displaying the divider on Friday is not possible.
Note: Displaying backgrounds or dividers in the future does not seem to be possible. I would gladly add this if I can figure it out.
Trade Session Marker of trade session
If you do not want painting all session, you should set -1 in the SessionStart
and SessionEnd
Market Trading Sessions (TG Fork)Visualize trading sessions opening hours of several international exchanges on a grid. Contrary to other indicators, this one automatically aligns the session with the current chart's timezone.

This fork implements the following features:
Converted to PineScript v5.
Adapted default color palette to dark mode, as is the default in TradingView now.
Fix drawing issues, now the design shows as it was originally meant to be.
Fixed mistiming issue that made some sessions display with a delay compared to the real session, especially the first session was bar at the start of the session was not displayed.
Inputted the accurate timings for each session, instead of the default 0800-1600 in the original indicator.
Essentially, you can just add this indicator and it should work out of the box. If not, please let me know, and I'll try to fix it!

Futures Exchange Sessions 2.0Description
Successor to Futures Exchange Sessions indicator. Completely rebuilt code from the ground up. Every feature has been redesigned and refactored to be the most beneficial while allowing for complete configuration by the user.
This indicator displays Futures Sessions as live boxes that expand dynamically as price moves over the time interval. These boxes make liquidity levels extremely easy to spot and visualize. It helps the user identify market structure and develop their own bias of price action. Everything about the Session boxes can be configured. Box color, border color, border style, and border width are all individually controllable. Each Future Session can be turned on or off at any time. Also, each box has their own text label (Asian Session, London Session, New York Session) and this text can be moved around the box, change color, and change size.
Previous days highs and lows (major liquidity levels) are always important to the futures trader. This indicator now allows the user to individually display the three previous days highs and low levels as lines with optional label. Each line can be independently toggled on or off and like always, every conceivable customization option is available to the user. And the labels can be moved to the right (via the Input Settings) to allow unobstructed views of candles.
The midnight EST open and 8:30 AM EST open horizontal lines (developed by the Inner Circle Trader) are returning in this indicator. But the biggest improvement is that the lines stop at the current bar or the last bar of the trading day. Additionally, the time lines are displayed on previous days so the user can easily see how the candles reacted to these important times of the day.
The Session boxes and the horizontal time lines now can be set to only display a certain number of day back. If the user wants just to see Session boxes for the previous day only, they can do that. If the user wants to see the last 15 days of boxes or lines it is very easy to increase the days back in the settings. Currently, the max days back is 80 calendar days.

Special Notes
To turn off box session text set opacity to 0%
Boxes and horizontal time lines only display when timeframe is <= 30 minute
[DisDev] 12 Candle|Round#|Future SessionsThis indicator has many components; below, each component is explained and how it can be used as a trading tool.
1) Future Lines
a. Vertical lines are projected into the future to mark the beginning of each of the three major markets, Tokyo, London, and New York.
b. When major markets open, this can cause an increase in price action. So this component provides the trader with a reminder of when the next major market opens.
c. Also, the days of the week are displayed to allow the user to backtest price reaction for certain days of the week easily (e.g., Major Markets reopening after the weekend).
2) 12 Hour Candle Sessions High and Low
a. As price intersects with the beginning of the session, the vertical line disappears, and two corresponding horizontal lines begin. These horizontal lines dynamically adjust to mark each session's high and low, and a semi-transparent box fills the space between the high and low lines.
b. The duration of each session is a three-hour window, which each consists of 12 Fifteen-Minute Candles. This marks the hour prior to equity markets open, the opening hour, and the post-open hour.
c. The sessions highs and lows can be selected within the settings show for a 24 hour period. This assists the trader with session range breakouts; three examples of how this could be traded are below.
Example 1
d. The Tokyo and London session high kept the price action within a range. Once it broke the range, the Tokyo and London session highs were used as support, resulting in a range breakout.
Example 2
e. The below picture shows price action failing to break London Session Low and New York Session High; this is followed by Tokyo Low acting as resistance and price moving down 9%.
Example 3
f. Below price action with an increased volume of 323% (based on the average of the last 10 bar) fails to break the Tokyo High on the 1st attempt. The second attempt fails on 241% volume. The third attempt at 475% breaks the range, completing the range breakout seeing a move of 3.4% in price.
4) High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD)
a. As the trading day unfolds, we mark the HOD (d-High) and LOD (d-Low) with blue dotted horizontal lines. Then at the start of the next trading day, the former High and Low become the Previous Day High (pd-High) and Low (pd-Low) and are changed to dashes.
b. These high and low levels add extra confluence with the session high and lows for Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) and confirmation of trends.
5) Round Numbers
a. As humans, it's hard to use just any number to make sense of things. We prefer to use round numbers. This is important for trading as many traders will automatically use round numbers as their stop losses.
b. This indicator component reminds users of this fact and displays round numbers such as 00, 25, 50, and 75. The indicator automatically calculates and displays lines for the round numbers for as many as twelve levels above and below the current price.
c. Below are examples of how round numbers are broken to trigger stop losses; you may want to break the habit of using round numbers as your stop losses.
Below is the indicator in full swing, displaying all the elements described above.
[UTILS] Session Input ParserAn utility function to parse session inputs. Extracts hours, minutes and weekdays (if defined) and returns a tuple as the result.
_parseSession(sessionString) => (hourStart, minuteStart, hourEnd, minuteEnd, weekdaysArray)
Examples presented on the chart.
Background to highlight cash/session range [Futures]A simple script which allows the user to highlight the background of a certain session. At the moment there is only one session available, I will work on multiple highlights for numerous sessions at a later date.
Outcome Reach - Session Ranges - 1st**Must apply scale price on chart only by right clicking on price on the y-axis, otherwise this indicator won't work** This indicator shows price ranges in each forex session including the overlap between London and New York.

[TTM] ICT Sessions & Ranges🌟 Overview 🌟
The ICT Sessions & Ranges Indicator helps traders identify key intraday price levels by marking custom session highs/lows and opening ranges.
It helps traders spot potential liquidity grabs, reversals, and breakout zones by tracking price behavior around these key areas
🌟 Session Highs & Lows – Liquidity Zones 🌟
Session highs and lows often attract price due to stop orders resting above or below them. These levels are frequently targeted during high-volatility moves.

The high (ORH) and low (ORL) define the market’s initial balance and key reaction levels.
🔹 Breakout Trade
- Price breaks ORH/ORL with momentum.
- Signals directional intent.
- Traders enter on the breakout, with stops inside the range.
🔹 Liquidity Raid

Exchange sessionsThe Exchange sessions indicator allows you to show world trading sessions on the chart, taking into account working hours in the corresponding time zone .
>> For traders:
The settings set the working hours of the exchange, and the indicator itself automatically binds it to the time zone of the selected exchange location - this allows you not to get confused about the correctness of the entered time ranges for any type of chart - stock, futures, index, forex or crypto. By default, the valid working hours are set and no further configuration is required.
In addition, you can select those zones that you want to highlight (using the marker to the left of the session name), and you can also highlight the beginning of each trading session - the start marker.
>> For encoders:
In the code, you can see how to set the session time and bind its control to the time zone from the IANA time zone database.
Also, in the code you will find a way to align the description of input parameters using Unicode Spaces.
I hope that my script will benefit the community and provide a quality result in my work!
All profit!

Hancock - RSI [Session]This is an improvement of my RSI Volume indicator.
I have made a session based RSI indicator which helps to aid the decision making upon session opens and gives a good indication of trend during. It also has various fixes for bugs found in the above indicator.
It has multiple settings to configure:
Use session: This toggles the RSI to be session based mode.
Session - Time: The session hours for the RSI .
Session - Days of Week: This is the days for the session based RSI to use.
Session - Mode: The RSI is reset when a new session starts. This mode adjusts how the initial value of the RSI is calculated:
OC: RSI uses the absolute open - close * volume value.
TR: RSI uses the true range * volume value.
VOL: RSI uses the volume value.
TF - Resolution: This is the lower time frame to be used in calculating the wick adjusted buy and sell volume used in the calculation of Volume weighted RSI . A lower time frame produces more accurate buy and sell volumes.
Use Volume: Enabling this produces a Volume weighted RSI . Disabled produces a normal RSI .
Use Wicks: Enabling this adjusts the calculation for buy and sell volume by taking wicks into account.
RSI - Length: This is the length to be used for the RSI . If session based this is the maximum value the RSI length can be - length can be shorter to not include previous session data.
RSI - Overbought: This is the "overbought" level for the RSI .
RSI - Oversold: This is the "oversold" level for the RSI .
RSI - Threshold: This is the threshold used to indicate trend change colours on the RSI .
Happy Trading
Hancock
