Market Sessions (including extended hours) by Anche█ MARKET SESSIONS BY ANCHE
this script allows you to define up to 4 different sessions and plot those on your chart. It makes it easy to see when these sessions started and ended and what the price level is when the session opened. It's for example beneficial to see when sessions overlap, because at those times there might be more volume , because more people are active within a market.
█ CONCEPTS
• plotting these sessions onto a chart can help you see overlap of 2 or more sessions. An overlap means more market participants, which can hint to an increase in volume .
• when the indicator shows all historic sessions, you can spot certain trends, for example that an asian market is generally more bearish and EU more bullish , or vice versa.
█ FEATURES
• up to 4 sessions
• customisable session labels
• customisable session times
• extended hours (on/off)
• timezone sync
• show past sessions
█ VISUAL FEATURES
• session plotted by top + bottom line or a box
• show session open
• customisable colors per session
• customisable lines (width/style/color)
• different visual settings for extended hours
• customisable label sizes
Sessions
AltSessionHello World
It’s no secret that trading sessions play a massive role in market movement and liquidity. We can clearly see in the image about how important identifying international trading hours are for a trader.
The Asian session starts around 1am GMT and often has a bearish bias through this session lasting for a few hours, after which Frankfurt and London traders start to come online and can often reverse the Asian sentiment.
The London session is the best session to trade traditionally starting around 7am GMT before the American traders come online and reverse market once again.
We have designed this indicator to help identify different trading hours easily with a background shade on the chart and also high/lows of the training session, as these levels can often be revisited.
We hope you find this indicator useful and please feel free to drop a comment if you have any updates you wish to be made or any future indicator script ideas, thank you.
[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.
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.
DTFL FOREX OverlayThese tools are used by FOREX traders who primarily follow the DTFL trading strategy, however, they can easily be utilized by any other FOREX trader looking for an all-in-one indicator that includes sessions, previous high/lows, session values, various moving averages and lockable ADR/ATR lines.
MILK (My Intraday Lazy Kit)I made this script to group information considered useful in forex day trading, of course it can be used on crypto or other markets.
First of all, feel free to suggest any improvement/new feature you would consider interesting for such an use. This is not especially a final version and I'm sure other relevant information can be added in this tool.
Current features are the following
An international clock showing time and session status (open/closed) for 5 different cities. You can modify it in parameters.
Drawings of previous days/weeks open/high/low/close prices, which will be often used as supports and resistances zones.
The Clock shows
City
Time (with a bgcolor corresponding to the "period" of the day (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night)
Session status (Cyan when the corresponding session is open, blue when it's closed)
Price levels names are
YTD-H : Yesterday's high
YTD-L : Yesterday's low
YTD-C : Yesterday's close
YTD-O : Yesterday's open
PWH : Previous week high
PWL : Previous week low
PWO : Previous week open
PWC : Previous week close
Levels width and colors can be modified.
You can also enable/disable the clock, and daily or weekly levels in the options panel.
Nothing more to say for now, I mainly integrated information I like to have, but I'll probably add new features in it if I get some.
Sessions & Days Of The WeekTraders tend to focus their energy on specific sessions or time periods. This indicator will plot the days of the week, and also highlight the following sessions: Frankfurt (2:00am - 11:00am EST), London (3:00am - 12:00pm EST), New York (8:00am - 5:00pm EST), Sydney (5:00pm - 2:00am EST), Tokyo (7:00pm - 4:00am EST).
It’s important to be aware that Session Open and Close times will vary based on the time of year, as countries shift over to daylight savings time.
Market Sessions Open/Close LevelsThis indicator displays the market open and close price levels for the main trading sessions (Sydney, Tokyo, Frankfurt, London and New York). The Daily Line changes color depending on if price is trading above or below the level. Feel free to add or replace levels depending on your trading style and trading times.
Forex Trading SessionsThere are a million Forex Trading Session indicators out there, but I couldn't find one with all of the following requirements:
1. Automatically show the Sessions that actually affect the current pair (for instance, Tokyo session doesn't matter when trading EURGBP)
2. Editable colors or at the very least no distracting colors
3. Editable times for each exchange session
4. Unique indication of the start of a session vs the end of a session. (Sometimes, I don't notice a background going from Navy Blue to Black)
This indicator has everything I could ever want in a Sessions Tool:
Subdued default colors
Editable colors
Editable session ranges
Obvious, but not obnoxious indication of start and stop
Automatically hide irrelevant Sessions
Cheers. EFX
Forex sessions with daylight savingsThis will adjust with Daylight Savings (DS) however you will need to update the start and end dates of DS once each year. That said, it's valid for 2021 and I'll try to remember to update this script each year so people don't have up to do the update of the DL start and end dates.
If there is a way to know these dates automatically in pine script someone please let me know.
Notice that Sydney has an offset of -1 instead of 1 for DS since being on the other side of the planet (sorry flat Earthers but this is a side-effect of a globe) they need to put their clocks backwards for DS instead of forwards.
Features:
Shows sessions for: Frankfurt, London, New York, Sydney & Tokyo
Includes Daylight savings changes
Has a legend you can display and hide to see which colors are for which sessions around the world
Allows you to show or hide each session individually
Allows you to display the legend in the same opacity as the indicators or 0 opacity to make it more readable.
This is my first public script so feedback most welcomed.

Market Swiss KnifeSimple script, helpful to analyse the current conditions of the market and make your own decisions. It's not a signal indicator
* Shows an EMA to help you identify the trend
* Uses the ATR to plot two lines below (current low + ATR) and above (current high - ATR) the current candle. Useful to see whether the market is overextended or find possible targets
* Plots a vertical line showing NY, Tokyo and London session opens
* Includes a position size calculator to calculate your desired lot size (works in forex and gold)
London/NY sessionsVertical lines that follow the low & highs of the London, London/NY overlap & New York Session.
Times used are my personal favourite

PT SessionsVersion 1.0 -
The sessions indicator helps you separate Asia, London & NY trading zones. We found it very useful to identify each session for scalping benefits.
The main strategy to this indicator is to scalp long/short at each sessions open/close where we suspect volatility to be at its peek. The high/low of each session is usually put in at the open/close of the zone. This helps set the tone for the upcoming sessions & more so for the full day. This indicator works well for FX and Crypto but was built specifically around crypto volatility times.
If you are interested in using our version of the PT Sessions , shoot us a message!

All in one CR- gRiZzLyRoCKsThis script is exclusively for users in Central America Costa Rica and Nicaragua as it does not take any input parameters for the session timing (hours) more than the price explained later here.
Features:
1. It paints Tradingview´s background to start differenciating between London session candle sticks and New York session candle sticks, only those two session.
2. Also it paints Tradingview´s background chart to differenciate weekends to make vissually attrative when a new trading week is starting.
3. It also prints a line that will differenciate when London Open candle stick has been printed on chart as well for New York open and the New York Stock Exchange market open.
Also the script will be printing labels for each day of the week, and here you need to make sure to enter the right input, the only input require. It is a price level so the script knows the coordinates to display week days labels, to avoid displaying on the candle sticks, so write as input a price number that is above the candle sticks by far at least 30 pips away.
The script its customizable, so please feel free to customize the colors at your own taste.
You can always hide some of the scripts markups on the chart, by clicking its configuration and checking/unchecking each element, e.g London Open, NYSE Open lines as example, or the labels with the week days names.
Important to know:
For Costa Rica and Nicaragua users, please make sure you have UTC-6 time zone selected for your tradingview's session, hopefully it will work as well for Panama users, but I did not tested.
Any question or bug report, please communicate with gRiZzLyRoCKs via tradingview´s chat.
For Central America users, I will be updating the script for each time zone change affecting London or New York sessions time schedule, depending if it is winter or summer.
PST:
Another feature-similar script will be released soon with time input capabilities for the remaining people around each country.
Session Open PricelinesSimple Indicator which shows 5 customizeable Lines for the sessions opening price.
I use it with New York Timezone.
You can easily modify the code for the time, you can also add more sessions to it.
I am no coder and have no idea why the indicator is showing all lines just under m10. I use it with m1 and m3 most of the time.
If you know the answer, it would be so cool if you could write me to modify it and make it work in all timeframes.
