[MiV] Trading SessionHello, everyone!
Today I want to present my new script, which I hope will help not only me!
I'm sure that many people, like me, went through such a stage as "building their strategy". This is when you sit and test on the history how you would enter or exit a trade.
Recently I was doing the same thing and realized that my "tests" involve night time, when in reality I would be asleep and not trading! So I decided to create an indicator that would display my "working hours" so that the backtest I conduct would be as realistic as possible.
Also this indicator is able to display sessions of major exchanges and forex working hours, so it will be useful not only for cryptocurrency lovers.
In addition, we don't always trade every day and, for example, I don't trade on Sunday. That's why we added a feature that "turns off" the day and does not highlight it in color if you're not planning to trade on that day.
And finally, I added a notification of the beginning and end of the trading session. A small thing, but it may also be a useful feature for those who like to sit at the chart!
I will be glad to receive any comments and suggestions!

Всем привет!
Хочу сегодня представить свой новый скрипт, который, надеюсь, поможет не только мне!
Уверен, что многие, как и я, проходили такой этап как "постройка своей стратегии". Это когда ты сидишь и тестируешь на истории то как бы ты входил или выходил из сделки.
Вот недавно я ровно также занимался этим и осознал, что мои "тесты" затрагивают и ночное время, когда в реальности я бы спал и не торговал! Поэтому я решил создать индикатор, который будет отображать мои "рабочие часы", чтобы бектест, который я провожу, был максимально реалистичным.
Также данный индикатор умеет отображать сессии крупных бирж и время работы форекса, так что полезным он будет не только для любителей криптовалюты.
Кроме того, мы же не всегда торгуем каждый день и например я не торгую в воскресенье. Поэтому добавлен функционал, который "выключает" день и не подсвечивает его цветом, если ты в этот день не планируешь торговать.
Ну и в заключении, добавил уведомление о начале и завершении торговой сессии. Мелочь, а тоже может быть полезной фичей для тех кто любит засесть за графиком!
Буду рад любым замечаниям и предложениям!

Smart Money Concepts used with Advanced Time Sessions
Quarterly Theory ICT 01 [TradingFinder] XAMD + Q1-Q4 Sessions🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system based on the concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time. It divides time into quarterly periods and accurately determines entry and exit points for trades by using the True Open as the starting point of each cycle. This system is applicable across various time frames including annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions.
Time is divided into four quarters: in the first quarter (Q1), which is dedicated to the Accumulation phase, the market is in a consolidation state, laying the groundwork for a new trend; in the second quarter (Q2), allocated to the Manipulation phase (also known as Judas Swing), sudden price changes and false moves occur, marking the true starting point of a trend change; the third quarter (Q3) is dedicated to the Distribution phase, during which prices are broadly distributed and price volatility peaks; and the fourth quarter (Q4), corresponding to the Continuation/Reversal phase, either continues or reverses the previous trend.
By leveraging smart algorithms and technical analysis, this system identifies optimal price patterns and trading positions through the precise detection of stop-run and liquidity zones.
With the division of time into Q1 through Q4 and by incorporating key terms such as Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, this system enables traders to identify market trends and make informed trading decisions using real data and precise analysis.
♦ Important Note :
This indicator and the "Quarterly Theory ICT" concept have been developed based on material published in primary sources, notably the articles on Daye( traderdaye ) and Joshuuu . All copyright rights are reserved.
🔵 How to Use
The Quarterly Theory ICT strategy is built on dividing time into four distinct periods across various time frames such as annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions. In this approach, time is segmented into four quarters, during which the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal appear in a systematic and recurring manner.
The first segment (Q1) functions as the Accumulation phase, where the market consolidates and lays the foundation for future movement; the second segment (Q2) represents the Manipulation phase, during which prices experience sudden initial changes, and with the aid of the True Open concept, the real starting point of the market’s movement is determined; in the third segment (Q3), the Distribution phase takes place, where prices are widely dispersed and price volatility reaches its peak; and finally, the fourth segment (Q4) is recognized as the Continuation/Reversal phase, in which the previous trend either continues or reverses.
This strategy, by harnessing the concepts of fractal time and smart algorithms, enables precise analysis of price patterns across multiple time frames and, through the identification of key points such as stop-run and liquidity zones, assists traders in optimizing their trading positions. Utilizing real market data and dividing time into Q1 through Q4 allows for a comprehensive and multi-level technical analysis in which optimal entry and exit points are identified by comparing prices to the True Open.
Thus, by focusing on keywords like Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, the Quarterly Theory ICT strategy acts as a coherent framework for predicting market trends and developing trading strategies.

Show More Info: Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
Quarterly Theory ICT provides a fractal and recurring approach to analyzing price behavior by dividing time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and defining the True Open at the beginning of the second phase.
The Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases repeat in each cycle, allowing traders to identify price patterns with greater precision across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even micro-level time frames.
Focusing on the True Open as the primary reference point enables faster recognition of potential trend changes and facilitates optimal management of trading positions. In summary, this strategy, based on ICT principles and fractal time concepts, offers a powerful framework for predicting future market movements, identifying optimal entry and exit points, and managing risk in various trading conditions.

ATR+ Advanced Sessions ATR for DaterangeATR+ Advanced Sessions ATR for Daterange
The ATR+ adds the following additional filters to the stock ATR indicator by Tradingview:
- Calculates the overall average ATR for a user defined daterange, optionally filtered by trading session and selected weekdays, presented as a secondary line over the standard ATR line.
- Basic ATR line, with colour highlight to indicate the selected sessions, days and timeframe being calculated by the average ATR+ line.
- Average ATR+ line indicating the average of all ATRs within the defined timeframe, optionally filtered by instances of a selected trading session and selected weekdays.
- Customisable appearance.
- The ATR+ also includes the basic ATR configuration options typically found in the standard ATR by Tradingview, including period length and smoothing type. Defaults are set to the factory standards: 14 length, RMA smoothing type.
What Is the Average True Range (ATR)?
The ATR is a technical analysis tool that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range asset price for that period. Investopedia describes the ATR as follows:
"The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges."
For more information on the ATR and its calculations and use cases, see here:
Investopedia link here.
Tradingview link here.
Note
The indicator may time out if the number of bars being calculated is too long. If this happens, you will need to reduce the datetime range, or increase the chart timeframe in order to reduce the number of bars being calculated and the indicator will attempt to recalculate.
Market Maker Session TimesThis indicator is design to mark out the session times for the Market Maker Method. All times are on NY time however you do not need to change your personal timezone.
The colours are also changeable, here's what the standard version are:
Asia Session - Green
UK Session - Yellow
US Session - Red
Dead Zone - Grey
FX Sessions - All in OneFX Sessions - All In One
This Script offer a wide variety of goodies
SESSION OPEN
it will draw a line for the TOP, MID and LOW of the asian session (you can adjust the hours of the session)
It will draw a line for the TOP and LOW of the London Session (you can adjust the hours of the session)
It will draw a line for the TOP and LOW of the NY Session (you can adjust the hours of the session)
SEPARATORS
while on lower timeframe, you will have a separator for days that occurs at midnight NY time
While on Daily timeframe, you will have a separator that will separate every month, on the 1st trading day of that given month
IMBALANCE
The candle leaving imbalance (a candle where there is a portion that is not matched with a price action left or right)
NY Midnight opening price
a dotted line will be drawn (up to 500 bar limitation) from NY open until it reaches either the 500 bar or the end of the day.
on lower timeframe (below 3 minutes) the bar will not reach the end of the day
London&NY Sessions with DaysOnly has certain time frames for New York and London which can be changed. Does not included other sessions. Also has options to include the market open.
Trademinator Forex Sessions"Trademinator Forex Sessions" displays overlapping colored boxes on the chart delimited by the opening and closing times of the specific exchange on the horizontal axis, and the maximum and minimum trading prices on the vertical axis, respectively. It also displays the exchange name on top of the candle corresponding to the opening time for each exchange.
Sessions can be enabled or disabled on the chart for each individual exchange through the "Inputs" tab of the "Settings" dialog box of the indicator. The exchange names can also be enabled or disabled in the same tab.
The included exchange sessions in sequential opening order are:
1- Sydney
2- Tokio
3- Frankfurt
4- London
5- New York
And additional session is included to account for the 2 hour timespan between the New York close and the Sydney open, when all exchanges are closed but still there is someone out there trading the Forex. I don't need to nominate you, since by now you already know who you are.
A future release of the indicator is planned to automatically adjust the opening and closing times of each exchange by the Daylight Saving Time.
30 Second Futures Session Open RangeThis indicator displays 30 second opening ranges from Globex, Europe, and RTH sessions.
From the RTH session range, it also displays infinitely generating Price Targets based on a % of the opening range size.
I am retrieving the 30 second data using the new "request.security_lower_tf()" function.
The importance of these levels is based on the idea that when the market opens, algorithms establish their positions within the first 30 seconds.
These areas can also be seen as potential areas of support and resistance throughout the sessions.
Enjoy!
ICT NY Futures Indices Session Model - YT New York MentorshipThis indicator plots out the time periods and open lines as outlined in ICT's 2022 Mentorship and is designed specifically for the New York futures trading session.
Time zone is set to GMT-4 (NY) by default but can be changed for accommodate daylight saving in the menu.
Please note this indicator is to be used only on the 30min timeframe and below.
Here are its features:
The background color shows the morning session, in two parts (8.30am to 9.30am and 9.30am to 11.30am), then a two hour gap for lunch (ICT calls this "Dead time") and finally, the afternoon session, also to two (1.30pm to 3pm and 3pm to 4pm).
It not only shows the current killzones, but future zones as well.
These times are important; trades can be framed within these zones as taught in the mentorship.
Next are the open lines. These lines are automatically plotted and can be areas for price to react off of; they are the opening price of a candle at these times:
00.00 (New York Midnight, also known as "True Day Open")
8.30am (New York Equities pre-open)
9.30am (New York Equities open)
2.00am (London Stock Exchange open)
And lastly, London's trading session High and Low are projected forward onto the New York trading session.
These two price points are areas of liquidity that were pooled during London, but they can also often set the high or low of the day.
Please let me know if there are any bugs or if you have suggestions for the next update.

USA SessionThe USA session (9:30am to 4:00pm) is the most volatile session during market hours. Because of this, previous day OHLC values during that time frame are important to stock traders. For future traders, these and the overnight high/low are important. This indicator overlays the open, previous day open, previous day close, previous day high and previous day low (of the USA session) onto most stock chart. And for most future charts, this indicator will also plot the overnight high and low.
How to use
Currently, this indicator is only intended to work on stock and future assets. I'm not sure what will happen when used with other assets, but that's not my problem. This will also only work on a 5 minute chart, but I am working to have it function with all intraday time frames. When viewing stocks, you have to turn off the Extended Hours view in chart settings, else the calculated values will be garbage.
Assuming your chart meets those 3 constraints, this indicator should work automatically, all values are displayed by default. It may take a while to process when you first add this indicator. If you are only viewing stocks, you may want to disable the overnight levels as they will always be n/a. When viewing stocks, levels are not drawn on the last bar for the US session (3:55pm) to avoid ugly connecting lines between sessions. If you want those lines to connect, it can be enables in the indicator settings.
If levels are not flat across the whole session or you are still experiencing difficulties/inconsistencies please review the known issues below.
Knows issues
This indicator breaks when the asset is missing data. If a bar is missing, this indicator will break and move to a different level that is no longer valid. You can tell a bar is missing because the time will jump, for example, from 2:15 to 2:25 instead of 2:20. Unfortunately, I think this is an issue with the data feed and I have no way of correcting this. From the test I have done with the data feed I have, this has not been a big problem with more popular assets, but results will vary. A more professional data feed may be required for consistent and proper results.
During my tests, I found that my future assets are always missing data from 3:10pm to 3:25pm. It was so consistent, I put code in to correct it. However, I'm not sure if other people will experience this same issue, or if the issue varies. Because of this, I there is a 'Fix missing data bug' input in the indicator settings that is enabled by default. If you are missing data from 3:10pm to 3:25pm on your futures chart (like myself) make sure this stays on. If you have data during this time, you need to turn that setting off.
This indicator only works when the USA session opens/closes at its regular time. Days that do no follow this rule may produce garbage levels. Don't worry, they will work fine the next day!
Session Extremes High/Low 1.2 By RouroSession Extremes High/Low 1.2 By Rouro highlights the true trading range of the three major FX sessions (Asia, London, New York) by shading only between each session’s high and low.

Tradesharpe Session BiasThis script is designed for traders who want help defining their session bias it is for people who trade in sessions which will most likely be 1 4h candle. The way I trade using Price action to get my daily bias, to either look for sells or buys or both I look at the previous daily candle close and previous 4hr candle close before analyzing the structure on the lower time frames to get my session bias of bullish/bearish. so this indicator compares the daily and 4hr candles to develop a bias for example
previous daily bullish + Previous 4hr Bullish = BULLISH BIAS
previous daily Bearish + Previous 4hr Bearish = BEARISH BIAS
if Daily bullish 4hr bearish = MIXED SESSION
if daily bearish 4hr bullish = MIXED SESSION
MIXED SESSION = Can argue both buys and sells
BEARISH SESSION = Best to look for Sells only based on my trading style
BULLISH SESSION = Best to look for Buys only based on my trading style
