SMC Sessions NYThis script plots vertical session markers on the chart to highlight session opens and closes based on New York time.
Key characteristics:
The indicator is plotted on the price chart (overlay).
It draws thin, dotted vertical lines at specific session times.
Sessions are calculated using the America/New_York timezone to ensure correct alignment.
Only weekdays (Monday to Friday) are considered.
The script draws sessions for today and up to one week back (maximum 7 calendar days).
All drawings are created once on the last bar to avoid duplicates and performance issues.
Each session has its own color for clear visual distinction:
Asia session (open)
London session (open and close)
New York / Kill Zone Morning (open and close)
Lunch session (open and close)
New York / Kill Zone Afternoon (open and close)
The Asia session open at 20:00 NY is intentionally excluded on Fridays, as there is no valid Asia session start on Friday evening.
The vertical lines extend across the entire visible price range of the chart.
The script is optimized to stay well within TradingView object limits.
Purpose:
The indicator is designed to give traders a clean, non-intrusive visual reference for key session transitions, helping to analyze price behavior around session opens and closes without cluttering the chart.
This approach is suitable for intraday and session-based trading models, including SMC-style workflows.

[iQ]PRO Market Sessions+🌐 PRO Market Sessions+: The Architecture of Market Time
Elevate your market analysis with the PRO v1 Time Cycles indicator—a sophisticated, proprietary framework engineered to meticulously map and visualize critical, high-probability time segments across global trading sessions. This tool transcends conventional session highlighting by providing a multi-layered, time-boxed view of market behavior, offering unparalleled clarity on structural shifts and key price levels.
This tool is optimized for professional traders, providing an edge by focusing on the fractal nature of market timing.
⏳ Precision Time Segmentation
The core functionality revolves around the hyper-precise segmentation of the trading day, anchored to the New York (EST) timezone to capture institutional flow.
Global Overlap Coverage: Integrates key Asia and London sessions with the comprehensive New York trading day, allowing for the analysis of transitional volatility and overlap strategies.
Structured Cycles: Deploys a unique system of 270-minute cycles, nested with 90-minute and 30-minute subdivisions. This hierarchical structure reveals how market structure evolves from macro-sessions down to critical, granular pivots.
New York Focus: Features distinct AM and PM 270-minute cycles, further broken down into 90-minute tranches (AM1, AM2, AM3 / PM1, PM2, PM3) and fine-tuned with 30-minute and even 10-minute boxes for exceptional high-resolution analysis.
London Depth: The London session is captured as a 270-minute block, with its own nested 90/30-minute structures, providing a complete view of the European market's structural integrity before the US open.
✨ Dynamic Structural Analysis
Beyond mere visualization, the indicator computes and projects critical structural levels within each time box, acting as dynamic reference points for price action.
Dynamic Price Anchors: Each time-cycle box is calculated to reveal key price metrics, including the Open Price and the Equilibrium (EQ) Level (Mid-Range). These lines serve as potent technical levels, often representing institutional reference points for deviation and reversion.
High/Low Capture: The extreme High and Low of each significant time segment are captured and marked, forming the boundaries of the structural range and identifying potential areas of liquidity draw.
Persistent Levels: Projects Previous Day, Week, and Month High/Low levels. These crucial historical benchmarks act as magnets or barriers to current price movement, providing essential macro-context to intra-day analysis.
🎨 Customizable & Non-Intrusive
The PRO v1 Time Cycles is designed for seamless integration into any chart setup, offering extensive customization without cluttering the price action.
Control over Granularity: Users maintain complete control over which time cycles (270, 90, 30, 10-minute) are displayed, ensuring the chart reflects the specific trading strategy and timeframe required.
Aesthetic Flexibility: Features highly detailed options for color, border styles, text alignment, and line thickness for every major session and nested cycle, allowing for a fully personalized and professional workspace.
This tool is a fundamental component of the iQ PRO suite, providing the essential temporal context required to execute sophisticated, time-based trading strategies. Its robust architecture is built to empower the discerning trader with a clearer, more structured view of the market's inner workings.
ORBs, EMAs, AVWAPThis Pine Script (version 6) is a multi-session trading indicator that combines Opening Range Breakouts (ORBs), Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and an Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) system — all in one overlay script for TradingView.
Here’s a clear breakdown of its structure and functionality:
🕒 1. Session Logic and ORB Calculation
Purpose: Identify and plot the high and low of the first 30 minutes (default) for the Tokyo, London, and New York trading sessions.
Session Anchors (NY time):
Tokyo → 20:00
London → 03:00
New York → 09:30
(All configurable in inputs.)
ORB Duration: Default is 30 minutes (orbDurationMin), also user-configurable.
Resets:
London and NY ORBs reset at the start of each new New York trading day (17:00 NY time).
Tokyo ORB resets independently using a stored timestamp.
Process:
For each session:
While the time is within the ORB window, the script captures the session’s high and low.
Once the window closes, those levels remain plotted until reset.
Plot Colors:
Tokyo → Yellow (#fecc02)
London → Gray (#8c9a9c)
New York → Magenta (#ff00c8)
These form visible horizontal lines marking the prior session ranges — useful for breakout or retest trading setups.
📈 2. EMA System
Purpose: Provide trend and dynamic support/resistance guidance.
It calculates and plots four EMAs:
EMA Period Color Purpose
EMA 9 Short-term Green Fast signal
EMA 20 Short-term Red Confirms direction
EMA 113 Medium Aqua Trend filter
EMA 200 Long-term Orange Macro trend baseline
Each EMA is plotted directly on the price chart for visual confluence with ORB and VWAP levels.
⚖️ 3. Anchored VWAP (AVWAP)
Purpose: Display a volume-weighted average price anchored to specific timeframes or events, optionally with dynamic deviation or percentage bands.
Features:
Anchor Options:
Time-based: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century
Event-based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits
VWAP resets when the chosen anchor condition is met (e.g., new month, new earnings event, etc.).
Bands:
Up to three levels of symmetric upper/lower bands.
Choose between Standard Deviation or Percentage-based widths.
Display Toggles:
Each band’s visibility is optional.
VWAP can be hidden on 1D+ timeframes (hideonDWM option).
Color Scheme:
VWAP: Fuchsia (magenta-pink) line
Bands: Green / Olive / Teal with light-filled zones
⚙️ 4. Technical Highlights
Uses ta.vwap() with built-in band calculations.
Handles instruments with or without volume (errors if missing volume).
Uses time-zone aware timestamps (timestamp(NY_TZ, …)).
Uses timeframe.change() to detect new anchors for the VWAP.
Employs persistent variables (var) to maintain session state across bars.
💡 In Practice
This indicator is designed for multi-session intraday traders who:
Trade Tokyo, London, or NY open breakouts or retests.
Use EMA stacking and crossovers for trend confirmation.
Use Anchored VWAP as a fair-value or mean-reversion reference.
Need clear visual structure across different market sessions.
It provides strong session separation, trend context, and volume-weighted price reference — making it ideal for discretionary or semi-systematic trading strategies focused on liquidity zones and session momentum.
Sessions Highs/LowsThis indicator plots the High and Low of the three main trading sessions:
Asia (20:00–03:00) – green lines
London (03:00–08:00) – blue lines
New York (08:00–13:00) – red lines
Features:
Levels update in real time during each session.
When a new session starts, the previous lines are deleted – only the latest active sessions remain visible.
Default session times are set to Asia (20:00–03:00), London (03:00–08:00), and New York (08:00–13:00), but you can adjust them to your own custom hours in the settings.
Colors can also be customized.
Use cases:
Quickly visualize session ranges.
Track session highs/lows for breakouts, fakeouts, and reactions around liquidity zones.

Obsession.FX Sessions IndicatorSession & Fractal Structure Tool — for Market Phases and Microstructure Analysis
This script combines session timeframes with local fractal identification to help traders analyze market context and structural shifts. It is designed for those applying Smart Money Concepts, where precise session boundaries and reactions to key levels are critical.
Session Zones
The script visualizes the three main trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It helps to:
– identify active phases of market participation;
– track each session’s Highs and Lows;
– interpret price behavior in relation to intraday liquidity shifts.
Each session is fully customizable — including start/end time, background and border colors, and display style (box, high/low lines, filled zones).
Fractal Structure
Fractals are shown as local highs and lows, supporting:
– detection of BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes;
– building A→B ranges for structural flow;
– confirming short-term directional changes.
The fractal algorithm is optimized for responsiveness and clarity, with no repainting and minimal delay.
Purpose and Usage
This tool is intended for contextual reading of price action: determining the active session and monitoring price behavior within its boundaries, with a focus on microstructural reactions. It supports building precise entry logic based on the interaction between session ranges and fractal structure.
Closed Source Justification
The script is closed-source due to its use of proprietary logic for fractal detection and session integration, developed as part of a private trading methodology not available in public libraries.
Session RangeThis Indicator Shows you the high, low and the midpoint for a chosen session and displays them on the chart.
You can make the following inputs:
Timezone: Choose your time zone (in UTC) to display the session correctly
Session Time: Choose the start time and end time of the session you want to have displayed.
Show Session Midpoint: Choose between displaying or not displaying the midpoint of the sessions high and low.
Extend Session Values until next Session: Choose this option if you want to display the sessions range until the next session starts. The midpoint will only be displayed if you chose "yes" at "Show Session Midpoint?"
Maximum number of bars between sessions: This is needed to ensure the correct display of the extended lines. Also this will affect the running speed of the script.
Limitations:
A higher number between bars slows down the script. What does that mean practically? If you choose to not have the sessions values displayed until the next session you can set this to 1 and the script will run as fast as it can. If you choose to display all the values until the next session you have to make sure that the number you put in is higher than the number of bars between the sessions. Otherwise the lines will be displayed backwards. As this affects the calculation speed you want to keep the number as low as possible. The default setting is 300 which is fine for 5 minute charts. On a 1 minute chart you will have to use something around 5000 depending on how long your session is.
Also the script will only run correctly if the start time of your session can be divided by the timeframe you are using. Example: you can use a 1min, 3min, 5min, or 15min chart on all sessions as they can only start every 15 minutes and 15 can be divided by all these numbers. A 2 minute timeframe will only work on sessions that start at minute 00 or 30, as 15 and 45 can not be divided by 2.
Customization and Alerts:
You can change the color of the sessions high, low, midpoint and background filling. The line style can also be changed but this might lead to a faulty display of the session.
The style of the extension lines can not be altered.
Alerts can be added for crossing the sessions high or low (after the session is finished). You do not have to display the extension lines in order to set an alert.
credit: The inspiration (especially for the look of this indicator) comes from the Asian Range by Nico948 indicator.

London Judas Swing Indicator by PoorTomTradingThis indicator is designed to help people identify and trade the London Judas Swing by Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
UPDATES IN V2:
This is a v2 update with automatic timezone settings, there is no longer any need to adjust the time or offset for DST.
It will now also work on any chart that trades during the Asia and London sessions (20:00 - 05:00 NY Time), including crypto.
It is recommended to use this indicator on the 5 minute timeframe.
INTRODUCTION OF KEY CONCEPTS:
Swing Points are a candle patterns defining highs and lows, these are explained further down in the description in more detail. They are shown on the indicator by arrows above and below candles. They can be removed if you wish by turning their opacity to 0% in settings. Swing points are automatically removed when price trades beyond them (above swing highs, below swing lows).
The Asia Session can be set by the user, but is defined by default as 20:00 - 00:00 NY time. Lines are drawn at the high and low of the Asia Session and the Asian Range is set at midnight.
The London Session is defined as 02:00 - 05:00 NY time.
The user can also include the pre-London session (00:00 - 02:00) for detection of breakouts and Market Structure Breaks (MSBs - explained lower down in the description with examples). This is selected by default.
EXPLANATION OF INDICATOR:
During the London Session, the indicator will wait for a break of either the high or low of the Asian Range.
When this is detected, it will draw a dashed line where the breakout occurred and trigger an alert.
After the break of the Asian Range, the indicator will look for an MSB in the opposite direction, which is when price closes beyond a swing point opposing current price direction. The indicator will draw a line indicating the MSB point and trigger an alert.
Finally, the indicator will also trigger an alert when price returns to this MSB level, which is the most simple Judas Swing entry method.
The Judas swing
Example with chart for Judas Swing short setups -
Price breaks above the Asia High, no candle close is required, the indicator will then wait for price to close a candle below the last swing low.
A swing low is defined as a 3 candle pattern, with two candles on either side of the middle one having higher lows. When a candle closes below the middle candle's low, that is an MSB.
When price returns to the MSB point, the Take Profit and Stop Loss levels will appear.
When price goes to either the Stop Loss or Take Profit level, the MSB, TP and SL, lines will be removed.
After this, if price creates a new setup in the opposite direction, the indicator will also work for this, as shown in this example that occurred right after the first example
SETTINGS:
- The "Swing Point strength" can be adjusted in the settings.
Example:
For a swing low:
The default setting is 1 (one candle on each side of a middle candle has a higher low).
You can change this setting to 2, for a 5 candle pattern (two candles on each side of the middle candle have higher lows).
This can be changed to a maximum of 10. But only 1 or 2 is recommended especially on the 5 minute chart.
- ATR Length and Triangle Distance Multiplier settings are for adjusting how the swing point symbols appear on the chart.
This is to ensure triangles are not drawn over candles when price gets volatile.
The default setting is ideal for almost all market conditions, but you can play around with it to adjust to your liking.
- Alerts.
For alerts to be triggered, they must first be selected in settings.
Then you need to go on to the chart and right-click on an element of the indicator (such as the swing point symbols) and select "add alert on PTT-LJS-v2".
If after this, you change any settings on the indicator such as session times or pre-London session, you must add the alert again, and delete the old one if you wish.
London ORB + Session High/Low + FVGLondon ORB + Session High/Low + FVG
📘 Script Description: London ORB + Session High/Low + Fair Value Gap
This script is designed to assist intraday traders during the London session open by combining:
🕒 1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
Captures the high and low of the first 15-minute candle after the London open (08:00–08:15 GMT).
Draws lines and labels for the ORB High and Low levels.
Detects breakouts above or below the ORB and plots a triangle signal at the breakout bar.
🌐 2. Asian & US Session Levels

Sessions Full Markets [TradingFinder] Forex Stocks Index 7 Time🔵 Introduction
In global financial markets, particularly in FOREX and stocks, precise timing of trading sessions plays a crucial role in the success of traders. Each trading session—Asian, European, and American—has its own unique characteristics in terms of volatility and trading volume.
The Asian session (Tokyo), Sydney session, Shanghai session, European session (London and Frankfurt), and American session (New York AM and New York PM) are examples of these trading sessions, each of which opens and closes at specific times.
This session indicator also includes a Time Convertor, enabling users to view FOREX market hours based on GMT, UTC, EST, and local time. Another valuable feature of this indicator is the automatic detection of Daylight Saving Time (DST), which automatically applies time changes for the New York, London, and Sydney sessions.
🔵 How to Use
The indicator also displays session times based on the exact opening and closing times for each geographic region. Users can utilize this indicator to view trading hours either locally or in UTC time, and if needed, set their own custom trading times.
Additionally, the session information table includes the start and end times of each session and whether they are open or closed. This functionality helps traders make better trading decisions by using accurate and precise time data.
Key Features of the Session Indicator

Some of these features are :
• Automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) Detection : This indicator dynamically detects Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes for various trading sessions, including New York, London, and Sydney, without requiring manual adjustments. This feature allows traders to manage their trades without worrying about time changes.
Below are the start and end dates for DST in the New York, London, and Sydney trading sessions :
1. New York :
Start of DST: Second Sunday of March, at 2:00 AM.
End of DST: First Sunday of November, at 2:00 AM
2. London :
Start of DST: Last Sunday of March, at 1:00 AM.

itradesize /\ Previous Liquidity x ICTI’d like to introduce a clean and simple RTH gap and liquidity levels indicator with additional Asian and London ranges, along with standard deviation levels and many customizable options.
Previous D/W/M highs and lows are areas where liquidity tends to accumulate. This is because many traders place stop-loss orders around these levels, creating a concentration of buy stops above the previous day's high and sell stops below the previous day's low. High-frequency trading algorithms and institutional traders often target these areas to capture liquidity.
What the indicator could show in summary?
- Regular trading hours gap with deviations
- Asia with deviations (lines or boxes)
- London with deviations (lines or boxes)
- Weekdays on chart
- 3 AM candle marker
- Previous D/W/M levels
- Important opening times (08:00, 09:30, 10:00, 14:00, 00:00, 18:00)
- Daily separators
By marking out the previous day's highs and lows, traders can create a framework for their trading day. This helps in identifying potential setups and understanding where significant price action might occur. It also aids in filtering out noise and focusing on the most relevant price levels.
These levels can also act as potential reversal points. When the market reaches a previous high or low, it might reverse direction, especially if it has raided the liquidity resting there. This concept is part of a strategy where traders look for the market to raid these levels and then reverse, providing trading opportunities
The indicator shows previous liquidity levels on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. It also displays opening times at 8:30, 9:30-10:00, 14:00-00:00, and 18:00. Opening times are crucial in trading because they help define specific periods when market activity is expected to be higher, which can lead to better trading opportunities. The script has been made mostly for indices.
You can create various entry and exit strategies based on the indicator. Please remember, that adequate knowledge of ICT is necessary for this to be beneficial.
You might wonder why only these times are shown. This is because these are the times when the futures market is active or should be active. It's important to note that opening times can vary between different asset classes.

The concept of "Asian Killzone Standard Deviations" involves using the Asian trading session's price range to project potential price movements during subsequent trading sessions, such as the London or New York sessions. This is done by calculating standard deviations from the Asian range, which can help traders identify potential support and resistance levels.
You can create a complete model by exclusively focusing on the Asian time zone. Deviations within this zone may have varying impacts on future price movements, and the Interbank Price Delivery Agreement (IPDA) often reflects Asia's high, close, and low prices.
A similar approach can be taken with the London time zone. The standard deviation levels within each zone could potentially serve as support or indicate reversals, including liquidity hunts. It's important to backtest these ideas to gain reliable insights into when and where to apply them.
* Asian Range: This is the price range established during the Asian trading session. It serves as a reference point for calculating standard deviations.
* London Range: The same applies to the London range as well. Combine standard deviation projections with other technical analysis tools, such as order blocks or fair value gaps, to enhance accuracy.
* Standard Deviations: These are statistical measures that indicate the amount of variation or dispersion from the average. In trading, they are used to project potential price levels beyond the current range.
You can also use regular trading hours gap as a standalone model. The 4 STDV and 2.5 STDV levels are important for determining the high or low of the current price action.
The RTH gap is created when there is a difference between the closing price of a market at the end of one trading day and the opening price at the start of the next trading day. This gap can be upward (gap higher), downward (gap lower), or unchanged. It is significant because it often indicates market sentiment and can create inefficiencies that traders look to exploit.
Alternatively, you can combine these elements to create a complete strategy for different scenarios.
Sessions made simple [algoat]The indicator — by default — provides a clear and concise representation of the four major global trading sessions.

🧠 General advice
Trading effectively requires a range of techniques, experience, and expertise. From technical analysis to market fundamentals, traders must navigate multiple factors, including market sentiment and economic conditions. However, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by market noise, making it challenging to filter out distractions and make informed decisions. By integrating multiple analytical approaches, traders can tailor their strategies to fit their unique trading styles and objectives.
Confirming signals with other indicators
As with all technical indicators, it is important to confirm potential signals with other analytical tools, such as support and resistance levels, as well as indicators like RSI, MACD, and volume. This helps increase the probability of a successful trade.
Use proper risk management
When using this or any other indicator, it is crucial to have proper risk management in place. Consider implementing stop-loss levels and thoughtful position sizing.
Combining with other technical indicators
Integrate this indicator with other technical indicators to develop a comprehensive trading strategy and provide additional confirmation.
Conduct Thorough Research and Backtesting
Ensure a solid understanding of the indicator and its behavior through thorough research and backtesting before making trading decisions. Consider incorporating fundamental analysis and market sentiment into your trading approach.

Key Features
Session Ranges + Optimal Exit Time
Asia Pip Range
New York Midnight Open Line
Session Ranges + Optimal Exit Time
Information ℹ️
This is a visual depiction of the 3 main sessions in the markets. Asia, London & New York. The default timings are set to perfectly align with each session however the Start & End times for each session can be changed in the settings. (I've added a website on the tooltip to easily convert timezones)
I have also added a 4th session range called "Optimal Exit Time". This is statistically the most probable time window for the opposite High / Low of Day to form is within this window. It helps the trader understand when they should look to take profit.
How It Works 🔑
The indicator automatically maps on two lines for the High & Low of the range between the selected Start & End time, it also colours the background.
The individual lines & background can be toggled & customised to the traders preference.
Asia Pip Range
Information ℹ️
This displays the Asia Range in pips beneath the Asia Session Low.
How It Works 🔑
This calculates the distance between the Asia High - Asia Low in pips. It will automatically recalibrate to the timings the trader sets in the settings if they change the Start / End.
New York Midnight Open Line

Session TimesDescription:
This indicator simply when enabled will draw dashed lines at each of the session openings. This is based on UTC+1 Time. There will be lines at 00:00 & 08:00 (Asian Session), lines at 08:00 & 13:00 (London Session) and finally lines at 13:00 & 00:00 (New York Session).
Potential Use:
There are many ways you could use this indicator to benefit your trading, but the best way I find is that it makes it clear where the previous highs and lows are of a session, which are potential areas you could trade off. Obviously, there are many other ways you can use this to help you.
How The Script Works:
The way the script works isn't too complicated as it is only a short script. Simply it firstly calculates what are the weekdays (Whenever it isn't Saturday or Sunday). Then from there simply finds the times which I mentioned above, and adds a vertical dashed line there.
Future Updates:
In the future I will mainly be looking to make the indicator more customisable. Firstly, I will look to make it so that the user can adjust the times that the lines are drawn at so it still works wherever you are in the world. I would also like to make it so the user can choose the colour of the lines. If you have any other additions you would like added to this, then feel free to message me.
Sessions [TradingFinder] New York, London, Tokyo & Sydney ForexTiming is one of the influential factors in a trader's position. This indicator categorizes transactions into three sessions (Asia, Europe, and America). Five significant trading cities (New York, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Sydney) are selectable.
I recommend using the tool on a 5-minute time frame, but it is usable on all time frames.
Settings:
• Trading sessions: Display or hide each trading session as needed.
• Color: Change the color of each box.
• Session time intervals: The default is based on the main working hours for each time interval and can be adjusted.
• Information table: Delete or display additional information table.
Information Table:
• Trading sessions
• Opening and closing times of each trading session
How to Use:
Initiating trading sessions involves entering with increased liquidity, and the market usually experiences significant movements. Many trading strategies are based on "time" and "session openings." This tool empowers traders to focus intensely on each time interval.
These trading sessions are crucial for all Forex, stock, and index traders:
The total price ceiling and floor in the Asia session (Tokyo and Sydney) are crucial for traders in the European session.
The European session starts with Frankfurt, and an hour later, London begins, collectively forming the European session.
The dashboard provides additional information, displaying hours based on UTC.
Customization options are considered in all sections so that everyone can apply their own settings.
Important: Default times are the most accurate for each region, and in most indicators, this time is not correctly selected. Therefore, the level of influence and time intervals are specified at the beginning of each session. If you are using another indicator, match its default time to the announced time and share the results with me in the comments.
