ICT Index Futures Session LinesICT Index Futures Session Lines
Description:
The script is based on one of ICT's concepts on trading Index Futures. The script lays out the daily range from an intraday basis.
Range:
00:00 - New York Midnight
08:30 – New York Open (News events come out)
12:00/13:00 - New York Lunch (No trade time period)
13:30 - (Algorithm)
16:30 - Close
* The open, high and low lines are plotted from 00:00 to 08:30
How To Use:
You will need to check the daily bias. Prior to 8:30 you are to look for previous swing points where liquidity may exist. During the open you want to see if a high or low is taken out, and then wait for an energetic break/displacement for a potential FVG/imbalance retracement entry.
Strategy is for LTF (1 to 15m)
Default time zone is set to America/New_York (UTC New York), so lines will be plotted correctly regardless of user’s local UTC chart setting.
Session
Session LevelsThis indicator plots important session (intraday) levels for the day. It plots high and low of previous day, week, month, 52 week and all time. Also plots the vix range which shows the daily expected trading range of the instrument. These levels acts as important support/resistance for the day.
For example, if price closes above previous day, week, or month high/low it indicates bullish sentiment and vice versa for bearish.
Vix Range plots top, center, bottom line for expected trading range for the day. It is calculated based on the volatility index selected (NSE:India VIX is used by default).
Phantom - My Session RangeThis is a modification of a script by RobMinty, "FXN - Asian Session Range" The script provides functionality to track specific trading sessions based on user preference rather than just the market sessions open and close. The idea is to help you hold yourself accountable to your specific trading times as well as backtest various marketing timings suitable to your schedule.
This script utilizes RobMinty's pine code to visualize your market session. We have adjusted the script to project the end of the session before the candles print - as well as adding/subtracting the horizontal and/or vertical lines around the current session box. This should help you understand how much time you have left in your session with a quick visual representation. While we have made some additions and adjustments to RobMinty's script- The inputs and functions of the combined script have not changed significantly from the originals. Like the originals, the code has been made open-source. If this script is reused or modified, please provide credit to RobMinty. If you plan to use this specific code with the ability to remove lines from the box and project session end forward, please credit both of us.
Day/Week/Month/3M/6M/12M MTF breaks by makuchakuThis indicator plots breaks for multiple timeframes. Works on Daily to Yearly timeframes.
Currently supported timeframes :
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Quarterly
Half Yearly
Yearly
It currently plots all breaks together. From Indicator settings hide what you don't need and save as default settings.
Ultimate Time Filter V1The only time filter that you will ever need.
Easily filter for:
--> Start/End Dates
--> Weekdays
--> 1 or 2 Daily Trade Sessions.
This is open source on purpose so you can enjoy ease of use on your own codes. Simply copy the code and use the variable "inTime" to filter bars that fit your time constraints.
I spent a lot more time on this than I'd like to admit but so be it. Any comments for improvements, or questions on how to use the script is appreciated. Or if you wanna chat about trading / pine script hit me up on Discord.
Cheers
Fusion: Forex sessions with daylight savingsThis has multiple ways to see Forex sessions as I found both on the main chart and on a separate chart useful at different times so this gives you the benefit of both.
When you want to use this separate from your main chart uncheck it the option "On main chart".
On the main chart we can show:
The legend
Boxes
Labels
Breakout check area
Start & end labels
On any other chart area we can show:
The legend
Horizontal bars representing the sessions.
All objects are color coded and the legend shows the color codes.

Blended my own sessions indicator and "FX Market Sessions" by boidoki
The code is structured to easily drop into a bigger system so use it as a lone indicator or add the code to some bigger project you are creating.
Finally, if you find value please do make a comment, give thumbs up etc.
Enjoy and good luck!
Time Session Filter - Visual Only - @Davi117 Simple visual adjustable time filter to highlight certain times of the day.
For instance if you only trade between 06:00 and 10:00 etc.
Includes Time Zone Selector using GMT
E.g if you live in London then you time zone will be just GMT, else if you live in Paris it would be GMT+1.
Ensure Trading View's time zone selection in the bottom right to the left of the Auto Scale toggle, is also set also set to your time zone, else it will be misaligned.
Session Levels - Ultimate Range IndicatorSession Levels - Ultimate Range Indicator
Primarily developed for trading the E-MINI Futures Markets like NQ or ES from the CME Group,
but also more than suitable for Crypto or other instruments.
This indicator highlights the chosen session, which can be Globex, Asian, London and New York.
It plots the important levels and also renders the Opening Range as it forms (a.k.a. Initial Balance).
After the 1st hour Opening Range is finished, it can plot the Standard Deviations / Projections.
See below for a complete feature list.
All Opening Ranges on chart and for the New York session the Range Projections are turned on:
s3.tradingview.com
How to use (example):
If you are trading the Nasdaq Futures (NQ!)
Enable the Globex Overnight session. Basically in the Futures Market, the Globex session is everything outside of US trading hours of Stocks. This draws the important overnight levels, like the Low, 25%, 50%, 75% and the High.
Enable the New York Session with Levels and Opening Range. Generally, 70% of the time the 1st hour will put a Low or High of the day.
If the price is trading above the Globex Low, most likely the Low of the Day is formed and the price target for the day will be 1.5x Standard Deviation and 2x Standard Deviation.
[*} Deviation of the Initial Balance depends on the volume ad overall market structure.
** This is not financial advice or any guarantee **
Features:
Show each Session Highlighted on Intraday chart in it's own color (each session can be turned off and has customizable times and color)
Show Line Levels of each session: Low, 25%, 50%, 75% and the High (customizable color)
Show the Opening Range (Initial Balance) of the Asian, London and New York session. Note: NY has more options.
Opening Range is displayed as a box with level lines (customizable color)
Levels are drawn to the end of the NY Cash session (customizable time)
Show IB Standard Deviations 0.5 - 3.0. Calculated from the Opening Range (Initial Balance)
Option to display Higher Timeframe levels: Previous Day Open/Close and Previous Week Open/Close
All level lines and OR boxes size dynamically as the session progresses
Built in Alerts for when price hits key levels. e.g. Alert when price crosses the NY Opening Range High. Or an Alert when the first STDEV is hit.
Option to toggle display of drawings for Today's trading session only, or Show all recent session levels. This keeps the chart clean or not.
Extras:
The NY Opening Range also has a 50% level line
The NY Opening Bar can be highlighted separately
The Level Lines can have small labels turned on/off. Values are only shown on mouse over to keep a clean chart
Keep in mind:
1) This indicator works on all instruments, but on instruments with limited market hours, your chart setting
has to be set to "Extended Hours" otherwise. For example TSLA on NASDAQ.
2) The Exchange Time Zone for the CME Group is Chicago UTC-6. So the session times you configure in the settings menu are based on that timezone too.
3) Globex opens at 5pm CST and closes when the US session starts 8:30CST.
4) When enabling the Alerts in the Indicator settings, be sure to also create an alarm for this indicator using the Alarm function of Tradingview.
Sessions with High/Low DiffThe main purpose of this indicator is to facilitate backtesting, but it may also be useful for traders to easily identify the current
active/open trading sessions on lower-timeframe charts.
This indicator also tracks the session high/low difference and plots it as a label on the last candle of the session once the last
bar of that session has finished printing and a new candle opened. The position and direction of the label is based on the
session open and close - if the session open is greater than the session close (which would equate to the equivalent of a red candle),
the label will be printed UNDER the last candle, and vice versa if the session close is above the session open.
The number printed inside the label is the difference between the session high and the session low, scaled to the minimum tick value of the chart.
Note #1: There is a Pinescript maximum of 500 labels allowed on any chart. While I could have gotten fancy and done some wizardry with label arrays,
I didn't really see a point to it. If labels are enabled for all 4 sessions at the same time, that would still have them available for the past 125
sessions, which would be about 6 months (approx 252 trading days per year, and this would cover 125 of them). If you limit to 2 sessions, you double
your potential look-back to almost a year (250 days out of the 252 average trading days each year), and for a single session, you double it yet again
to just under 2 years.
Note #2: As this indicator tracks open, high, low, and close for each session, it can potentially be enhanced (or forked) to construct "session candles".
I'm not sure what use this would be to anyone, but the pieces are there should someone find a use for it.
While it would be easy to add alerts on sessions opening/closing, I didn't see a purpose or value in that as it would be little more than a
glorified alarm clock. If I get enough demand to add them, I will gladly consider it.
session min/max support&resistance [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to present you session min/max support&resistance indicator. The idea behind is to calculate min and max per session and render line at those levels and bars until the price reach the level. With this you can see levels where the price didn't reach with granular control over how many lines can be shown.
Indicator has following settings:
General control - where you can select session interval and show/hide labels
Line control - where you can adjust type of line, color of up/bottom level..
I hope you will enjoy it,
Lukas
Trading sessions, Ichimoku and Classic Pivots█ OVERVIEW
This a self contained intraday trading style for crypto/forex made to be on and traded on 15-min.
This Script Creates a box around each major session to a trading range, include highlights for the first 12 15-min candles, classic Pivot points and ichimoku cloud.
█ CONCEPTS
1 — Session boxes and ranges are based of the times from Steve from Beat the market maker, and you have the option in setting to have an extension for the high/low until the start of the next box calculation.
2 — 12 candle window, this marks the first 3 hours after a open;
The first hour - stop hunt
The second hour - big moves
The third hour - tend continuation or reversal
3 — The Days of the weeks are labelled and coloured;
Weekends are in grey, ideally no trade days.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday are green, to mark the week days
Wednesday is red to be mindful of mid week reversal
Friday is red to mark the end of week
4 — Ichimoku cloud, by default the only thing visible is the kumo cloud, but in setting you can turn the line back on. Ichimoku proves a great mark for areas to look for support and resistances.
5 — Lastly, you have classic pivots, by default they are extend to the right and on weekly, Each level act as support and resistance. Look for Bullish momentum at R3 for a larger moves to the upside.
Ichimoku and the pivot are here mainly for when you want to do higher time frame analysis.
█ OTHER SECTIONS
• HOW TO USE
Example of a trade
**Key thing to remember is London will set the high in a down trend and the low in an up trend
you can see the first hour look for stops and stopped at 50% of the range set coming into the session, the second hour a big move to the down side hitting 200% expansion then the third hour reversal stopping wick up then
back down from from London low. before continuing down.
• LIMITATIONS: I have not test this on Stock, as I have a different strategies for those market
• NOTES : I know a lot of people have moving averages on their chart, I have another separate one with all MA types, and it something that will not fit into one script, Other things you can add with this Bollinger bands, and
fib tool with 50%, 100%, 150% and 200%

Example - Custom Defined Dual-State SessionThis script example aims to cover the following:
defining custom timeframe / session windows
gather a price range from the custom period ( high/low values )
create a secondary "holding" period through which to display the data collected from the initial session
simple method to shift times to re-align to preferred timezone
Articles and further reading:
www.investopedia.com - trading session
Reason for Study:
Educational purposes only.
Before considering writing this example I had seen multiple similar questions
asking how to go about creating custom timeframes or sessions, so it seemed
this might be a good topic to attempt to create a relatively generic example.
Flexible timezone-aware session rangeAllows you to define session range with local time and its timezone, also can toggle session visibility any day of week.
Session Volatility CalculatorHey traders!
This script calculates the average volatility of trading sessions.
You specify a start date, an end date, and a session time (eg. market open, Asian session etc)
The script then scans through all the price action on your chart and calculates the average price movement during that specified period.
What Is It For?
I created this script for my own purposes when developing certain strategies and testing certain ideas.
The purpose of this script is to give you an idea of how much price tends to move during certain times of day for certain markets.
You could think of it as a "session's average true range".
In crypto and forex this might be how much price tends to move on certain pairs during the Australian/Asian session, or the European session, or the overnight U.S. session etc.
In stocks this might be how much a symbol tends to move during the first hour of the day or the last hour of the day.
The point of calculating this information is for better understanding how markets move during certain times of day.
It's not a perfect science obviously since some days can be wilder than others depending on what fundamental events are developing, but it's useful information to have for times when there are no expected volatility-inducing events.
This info can help with optimizing targets and stop loss placement for certain day-trading strategies, and just generally getting an idea of what kinds of moves you might reasonably expect out of overnight positions or certain times of day etc - or at least that's what I use it for.
Settings
Hover your mouse over the "i" symbol to get more information on the script's settings, but here's a brief description:
Start Date: The date to begin calculating from (set to 1000 by default so it scans the entire chart).
End Date: The date to stop calculating (set to 2099 by default so it scans the entire chart)
Time Session: This is the time session during the day that you want to analyze.
Color Background: If turned on, this setting changes the background color to highlight the session.
Indicator Values
The indicator outputs a handful of values onto your chart. This is what the colors correspond to:
Top-Right Box: The average price range during the given time of day over historical price action.
Green Number: The recent session's highest price.
Red Number: The recent session's lowest price.
Purple Number: The recent session's price range (high - low).
Orange Number: The recent session's range ÷ the average (outputs a relative % of the average).
Day and Time HighlightYet another sweet little tool that highlights only specific days and time.
For example, you can highlight only Tuesday's and Friday's from 0930-1600
You can adjust to any day of the week and any time of the day.
You can request more improvements upon this version. Cheers!
