Elaris Session Liquidity Grabs Pro # Elaris Session Liquidity Grabs Pro Elaris Session Liquidity Grabs Pro is a professional session-based liquidity sweep and reversal detection tool designed for traders who focus on smart money concepts, stop hunts, failed breakouts, and institutional liquidity behavior. The indicator automatically builds key liquidity ranges from major global trading sessions including London, New York, and Asia, then detects high-probability liquidity grabs when price sweeps session highs or lows and rejects back into range. Unlike basic sweep indicators, this tool includes advanced filtering systems designed to reduce noise and focus on stronger reversal conditions using ATR displacement, candle strength analysis, EMA trend filtering, and optional volume confirmation. Built for active intraday traders, scalpers, and smart money traders, the indicator provides a clean visual framework for identifying areas where liquidity may have been engineered before a market reversal or continuation move. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Automatic London, New York, and Asia session ranges • Session high/low liquidity tracking • Bullish and bearish liquidity grab detection • Wick sweep and close-break detection modes • ATR-based sweep validation filters • Strong displacement candle confirmation • EMA trend filter for directional bias • Volume confirmation filter • Optional cooldown system to reduce signal clustering • Session equilibrium (midline) plotting • Clean session range visualization • Professional dashboard panel • Dark mode and light mode support • Alert conditions for automation and notifications • Non-repainting confirmed signals ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The indicator builds liquidity ranges from selected market sessions and monitors price action after those sessions complete. When price aggressively sweeps a session high or low and then rejects back into the range, the indicator identifies it as a potential liquidity grab event. Examples: • Price sweeps above London High and closes back below → potential bearish liquidity grab • Price sweeps below New York Low and closes back above → potential bullish liquidity grab Additional confirmation filters help reduce weak or low-quality signals by requiring stronger candle displacement, trend alignment, and optional volume expansion. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BEST USE CASES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Smart money trading concepts • Session liquidity trading • Stop hunt reversals • Scalping and intraday trading • ICT-style trading approaches • Breakout failure detection • Market manipulation detection ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ RECOMMENDED MARKETS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Crypto Futures • Forex • Indices • Gold and Commodities ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 1 Minute • 3 Minute • 5 Minute • 15 Minute ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NON-REPAINTING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This indicator is designed to be non-repainting. Signals are confirmed only after candle close and session levels are finalized after the session completes. No future data is used. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This tool is designed to assist with identifying liquidity behavior and market structure reactions. It should be used alongside proper risk management, higher timeframe analysis, and additional trade confirmation techniques. No indicator guarantees profitability or win rate consistency across all market conditions.

Market Sessions [Crypto Imperija]Market Sessions is a clean session-mapping indicator designed for crypto traders who want to better understand how price behaves during different parts of the trading day. The indicator highlights the main market sessions directly on the chart using customizable boxes, session names, session times, completed session high/low levels, sweep detection, reclaim detection and alerts. It is especially useful for traders who work with liquidity concepts, session ranges, intraday market structure, and time-based trading analysis. Default Sessions: • Asian Session: 02:00 - 10:00 UTC; • London Session: 09:00 - 17:30 UTC; • New York Session: 16:30 - 23:00 UTC; • Closed / Low Activity Session: 23:00 - 02:00 UTC. 1. Session Boxes The indicator draws visual boxes around each selected session. Each box shows the full price range created during that session, including the session high and session low. This helps traders quickly see: • Where price ranged during a specific session; • Which session created the most volatility; • Whether price is expanding or consolidating; • How the current session reacts to previous session ranges. 2. Session Names and Times Each session box can display the session name and session time directly on the chart. This makes it easier to follow the trading day without constantly checking the clock, especially when analyzing multiple timeframes or trading crypto markets that run 24/7. 3. Session High / Low Levels, Sweeps and Reclaims After each session finishes, the indicator automatically draws the completed session high and low as horizontal levels. These levels are often important because previous session highs and lows can act as key liquidity areas. Traders commonly watch them to see whether price rejects from them, breaks through them, sweeps them, or reclaims them. Examples of completed session levels: • Asian High / Asian Low; • London High / London Low; • New York High / New York Low; • Closed Session High / Closed Session Low. The indicator detects two important events around these levels: • Session Sweep: A high sweep is detected when the current candle high reaches or moves above a completed session high. A low sweep is detected when the current candle low reaches or moves below a completed session low. • Session Reclaim: After a sweep, the indicator watches the candle close. If a completed session high is swept and price closes back below that high, it is considered a reclaim. If a completed session low is swept and price closes back above that low, it is considered a reclaim. This helps traders identify when price has interacted with a previous session liquidity level and whether the move continued or failed after the sweep. 4. Mitigated Levels When a session level is swept, the trader can choose whether to remove it from the chart or keep it visible as a faded/dotted mitigated level. This gives more control over chart cleanliness: • Hide mitigated levels for a cleaner chart; • Show mitigated levels to study how price reacts after liquidity is taken. 5. Customizable Visual Settings The indicator includes multiple customization options: • Show or hide session boxes; • Show or hide session names; • Show or hide completed session high/low levels; • Show or hide price values on labels; • Choose label size; • Choose session level line style; • Choose line width; • Choose box border style; • Choose box border width; • Customize each session color; • Hide weekend sessions. This makes the indicator flexible for different trading styles, chart layouts, and visual preferences. 6. Alerts The indicator includes alert conditions for: • Session Sweep • Session Sweep Reclaim The alert messages can include the ticker, timeframe, swept level, price, and reclaim direction. Important Notes: This indicator does not predict price direction. It is a visual and alert-based tool that helps traders identify session ranges, completed session highs/lows, sweeps, and reclaims. A sweep does not guarantee a reversal, and a reclaim does not guarantee continuation in the opposite direction. These events should always be analyzed together with market structure, candle closes, volatility, volume, risk management, and a complete trading plan. Trading involves risk. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.

Session Killzones ICT Concept Session Killzones - ICT Concept Session Killzones plots the four standard ICT killzone sessions (Asia, London, NY AM, NY PM) in New York time. It tracks unswept session highs and lows in real time, fires alerts on sweeps, and displays a compact session info panel with countdown. Built for ICT traders who need to know which session levels are still active and which have already been taken. SESSIONS Draws session boxes and boundary lines for each killzone in New York time with automatic DST handling (EDT/EST). Each session is fully customizable: name, time range, and color. Default sessions (New York time): Asia: 20:00 - 00:00 London: 02:00 - 05:00 NY AM: 08:30 - 11:00 NY PM: 13:30 - 16:00 Each session can be toggled on/off independently. Time ranges can be modified to match your broker's session definition. UNSWEPT LEVELS When a session closes, its high and low are extended forward as dashed lines. These are unswept levels session liquidity that price has not yet taken. When price reaches an unswept level, the line is automatically removed from the chart. No manual cleanup needed. This gives a live, self-cleaning view of which session levels still matter. Sweep events fire an alert. Alerts are available for high sweeps and low sweeps independently. SESSION PANEL A compact info panel shows session context at a glance. Three detail levels: Simple - shows the active session name and time remaining (or next session and time until open). Standard - adds today's percentage range for each session that has occurred, with direction indicator relative to session open. Advanced - includes unswept level prices from all closed sessions directly in the panel, alongside the session breakdown. SESSION COUNTDOWN Inside a session: "NY AM - 1h 23m left" Between sessions: "London in 4h 10m" Color indicators : Green: session is active Yellow: less than 15 minutes remaining (closing warning) Gray: currently between sessions The countdown adapts to custom session times. If you change the London session to 01:00-04:00, the countdown reflects that. HOW TO USE Session boxes show the developing high and low of each killzone as the session progresses. Dashed lines extending beyond the box are unswept levels. These represent liquidity that price has not yet reached. When a dashed line disappears, that level has been swept. It is no longer an active reference. Use the percentage range in Standard mode to gauge which sessions were high-range versus low-range days. Use the countdown to plan your analysis around session opens and closes. Most high-probability ICT setups occur within the first 30 to 90 minutes of a killzone. Enable alerts on sweep events to get notified the moment a session high or low is taken, even if you are not at the screen. SETTINGS Display - Chart Theme: Dark / Light - Timezone: Auto DST / Manual UTC-4 (EDT) / Manual UTC-5 (EST) Sessions (per session: toggle, name, time range, color) - Asia, London, NY AM, NY PM Appearance - Show Session Box, High/Low Lines, Midpoint Line, Opening Price - Lines Only mode: removes box fill, shows boundary lines only - Line Thickness: 1 to 4 - Boundary Line Style: Solid / Dashed / Dotted - Color Intensity: global transparency adjustment (-50 to +50) Levels - Show Unswept Levels: toggle - Level Line Style: Solid / Dashed / Dotted - Anticipation Zone: how far unswept lines extend right (candles) - Show Level Price Labels: toggle Info Panel - Detail Level: Simple / Standard / Advanced - Position: Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right / Middle Left / Middle Right - Size: Tiny / Small / Normal Display Limits - Show on Timeframe: 1M / 3M / 5M / 15M / 30M / 45M / 60M - Show Last N Days: 1 to 30 NOTES Session Killzones is open source under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 and is intended for educational purposes only. Nothing in this script constitutes financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument. The DST resolver calculates timezone offset from bar time rather than the system clock, which means the indicator behaves correctly in TradingView replay mode. If you replay to November 2023, the resolver returns EST, not the current wall-clock timezone. The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes from 1M to 60M and works on any instrument available on TradingView, though it is primarily optimized for forex majors and gold (XAUUSD). Internally, all session state is tracked using explicit boolean arrays. No state is inferred from drawing object positions or line coordinates, which avoids a common source of bugs in session-based indicators.

Session Anchor Range The Session Anchor Range highlights the full wick-to-wick range of the first 15-minute candle of the New York session. This first candle often acts as a reference point for liquidity and early session positioning, helping traders quickly identify potential bias, support, resistance, and breakout opportunities throughout the trading day. The indicator automatically draws a rectangle covering the high and low of the first NY 15-minute candle, creating a clear visual range that can be used as a decision zone. How to Use It: 1️⃣ Breakout Bias One of the most common ways to use this tool is to determine market bias once price breaks out of the range. • Break above the range → Bullish bias • Break below the range → Bearish bias When combined with structure, volume, or higher timeframe analysis, these breakouts can provide strong confluence for directional trades. 2️⃣ Intraday Support & Resistance While price remains inside the range, the boundaries can behave as dynamic levels. • Top of the range → potential resistance • Bottom of the range → potential support Traders often watch for rejections, liquidity sweeps, or consolidation around these edges. 3️⃣ Liquidity & Expansion The first 15 minutes of the New York session frequently establish early liquidity zones. A clean breakout from the range can signal volatility expansion and momentum entering the market. This can help traders anticipate trend continuation or session direction. Tips for Best Results • Works best on lower timeframes (1m–15m) • Combine with market structure or trend analysis • Watch for false breakouts and liquidity sweeps around the edges • Use with other confluence tools such as VWAP, value areas, or order flow Customization The indicator allows you to customize: • Rectangle border color • Fill color and transparency • Border thickness • Session behavior

Global Sessions & Kill Zones [jpkxyz]Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones Indicator Overview The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify and visualize the most critical time periods in the 24-hour forex and futures markets. This indicator combines traditional trading session analysis with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Kill Zone methodology, providing traders with a complete picture of when institutional activity and liquidity are at their peak. Trading Theory & Foundation Session-Based Trading The forex market operates 24 hours a day across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each session has distinct characteristics in terms of volatility, liquidity, and price behavior. Understanding these sessions is crucial because: Volatility Patterns: Each session exhibits unique volatility profiles based on which markets are open and which institutional players are active Liquidity Concentration: Major price movements tend to occur when multiple sessions overlap, as more market participants are active simultaneously Market Structure: Session highs and lows often act as key support and resistance levels that price respects throughout the trading day Time-Based Strategies: Many professional traders structure their strategies around specific sessions that align with their preferred instruments and trading style ICT Kill Zones The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology emphasizes specific time windows called "Kill Zones" - periods when institutional algorithms and smart money are most active. These time windows represent optimal trading opportunities because: Institutional Activity: Banks, hedge funds, and large institutions execute their orders during these predictable time windows Algorithmic Trading: Many institutional algorithms are programmed to operate during these specific periods Liquidity Sweeps: Kill Zones often feature stop hunts and liquidity grabs before directional moves Higher Probability Setups: Price is more likely to respect technical levels and follow through on setups during these periods The four ICT Kill Zones are: Asian Kill Zone (00:00-03:00 UTC): Early Asian session institutional activity London Kill Zone (07:00-10:00 UTC): London open and European institutional entry New York Kill Zone (12:00-14:00 UTC): New York open and North American institutional entry London Close Kill Zone (15:00-17:00 UTC): European session close and position squaring What This Indicator Visualizes Trading Session Boxes The indicator draws high-to-low range boxes for each major trading session: Sydney Session (21:00-06:00 UTC): Captures the Australian and early Asian trading activity Tokyo Session (00:00-09:00 UTC): Represents the main Asian trading period London Session (08:00-17:00 UTC): Covers the European trading hours New York Session (13:00-22:00 UTC): Encompasses North American trading activity Each session box displays: The session's high and low price levels Customizable colored borders and fills Labels showing the exact high and low values Real-time updates as price moves within the active session Session Overlaps The indicator automatically identifies and highlights all session overlaps with distinct colored boxes: Sydney/Tokyo Overlap: Asian liquidity concentration Tokyo/London Overlap: Asian-European transition period London/New York Overlap: The most volatile period with maximum liquidity Sydney/New York Overlap: Late US session into early Asian session These overlaps are crucial because they represent periods of increased liquidity when multiple major markets are operating simultaneously, often leading to significant price movements and breakouts. ICT Kill Zones Kill Zones are displayed as vertical background highlights that span the entire chart height during their active periods: Visual clarity: Semi-transparent colored backgrounds that don't obstruct price action Label identification: Each Kill Zone is labeled at its start for easy recognition Overlay capability: Kill Zones overlay on top of session boxes, allowing you to see both simultaneously Independent control: Each Kill Zone can be toggled on/off individually How Traders Can Use This Indicator Entry Timing Wait for Kill Zones: Use Kill Zones as your primary trading windows to increase the probability of institutional support for your trades Session Boundaries: Look for breakouts or reversals at session open/close times when new participants enter the market Overlap Periods: Focus on high-conviction setups during session overlaps when liquidity is highest Support & Resistance Session Highs/Lows: Previous session highs and lows often act as key support/resistance levels Sweep Setups: Watch for price to sweep session highs/lows during Kill Zones, then reverse (liquidity grab) Range Trading: Trade within session ranges during low-volatility periods, breakout during overlaps Risk Management Volatility Awareness: Adjust position sizing based on which session is active (London/NY overlap = highest volatility) Stop Placement: Position stops outside of key session levels to avoid being caught in normal intraday ranges Time-Based Exits: Consider exiting or tightening stops as sessions close and liquidity decreases Strategy Development Session-Specific Strategies: Develop different approaches for different sessions based on your instrument's behavior Kill Zone Confirmation: Require setups to occur within Kill Zones for higher probability trades Backtesting Framework: Use historical session and Kill Zone data to backtest time-based strategies Full Customizability Session Customization Every aspect of each trading session can be customized: Toggle Visibility: Show/hide any session independently Time Adjustment: Modify start and end hours to match your broker's server time or personal preference Color Schemes: Customize box colors and border colors for each session Transparency: Adjust fill transparency to see price action clearly while maintaining visual reference Kill Zone Customization Complete control over ICT Kill Zone display: Individual Toggles: Enable or disable each Kill Zone independently based on your trading style Color Selection: Choose distinct colors for each Kill Zone (default: Green, Blue, Yellow, Red) Transparency Control: All Kill Zones use 70% transparency by default, fully customizable Label Display: Toggle Kill Zone labels on/off via the main label settings Visual Preferences Border Control: Toggle session box borders on/off for cleaner charts Label Size: Choose from tiny, small, normal, large, huge, or auto-sizing for all labels Label Colors: Customize label background and text colors to match your chart theme Box Transparency: Set individual transparency levels for each session and overlap Overlap Customization All four session overlaps have independent color controls: Sydney/Tokyo Overlap Tokyo/London Overlap London/New York Overlap Sydney/New York Overlap Technical Features Midnight Handling The indicator uses advanced hour-based detection that seamlessly handles sessions crossing midnight (like Sydney's 21:00-06:00 UTC timeframe) without breaking the visualization into separate boxes. Real-Time Updates Active Sessions: Boxes extend and update in real-time as price moves during active sessions High/Low Tracking: Session highs and lows are continuously updated until the session closes Kill Zone Detection: Background colors appear/disappear precisely at Kill Zone boundaries Clean Chart Integration Minimal Clutter: Only shows active and recently completed sessions Overlay Friendly: Works seamlessly with other indicators and doesn't obstruct price action Performance Optimized: Efficient code that doesn't slow down chart rendering Ideal For Forex Traders: Track the four major forex sessions and plan trades around overlaps Futures Traders: Identify when specific futures markets have peak activity ICT Students: Implement Inner Circle Trader concepts with visual Kill Zone references Session Traders: Build strategies around specific session characteristics Scalpers & Day Traders: Focus on high-liquidity periods for tighter spreads and better fills Swing Traders: Use session levels as key support/resistance for multi-day trades Best Practices Start Simple: Enable only the sessions and Kill Zones relevant to your instruments Color Code Strategically: Use colors that stand out on your chart theme but don't overwhelm Combine with Price Action: Use session levels and Kill Zones as context, not as standalone signals Match Your Timezone: Adjust session times if your broker uses non-UTC server time Focus on Overlaps: Pay special attention to London/New York overlap for highest-probability setups Journal Performance: Track which sessions and Kill Zones work best for your strategy Conclusion The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator provides traders with institutional-grade time-based analysis in a highly customizable, visually clear format. By combining traditional session analysis with modern ICT Kill Zone theory, traders gain a comprehensive understanding of when markets are most likely to move and where key levels are established. Whether you're a scalper looking for the highest liquidity periods or a swing trader using session levels for support/resistance, this indicator adapts to your needs while keeping your charts clean and professional. Trade smarter by trading when the market is most active and predictable.

Forex Sessions UTC + customise (DST Support)This Pine Script is designed to highlight forex trading sessions on a TradingView chart, showing which session (Asia, London, New York, Frankfurt, Sydney) is active based on your selected timezone offset and daylight saving time (DST) settings. It also includes an option to highlight session overlaps, like the London-New York and Asia-London overlaps. Let's break down the script in detail: ### 1. **Inputs**: * **`timezoneOffset`**: * This input allows you to select your local timezone offset in hours relative to UTC (e.g., -2 for UTC-2 or +3 for UTC+3). It helps adjust the session times based on your local time. * **`isDST`**: * A boolean input that determines if Daylight Saving Time (DST) is active or not. If DST is enabled, the session times will be adjusted by one hour. ### 2. **Function: `timeInDailyRange`**: This function checks if the current time (bar) is within a given session's start and end time. * **`startH, startM`**: Start time of the session (hours and minutes). * **`endH, endM`**: End time of the session (hours and minutes). * **`tzOffset`**: The timezone offset in hours (which adjusts the start and end times for different regions). The function handles sessions that cross over midnight. For example, the Asia session starts at 23:00 UTC and ends at 07:00 UTC, so it checks if the current time falls within that period. ### 3. **Session Times (in UTC)**: Each trading session has specific times defined in UTC: * **Asia Session**: 23:00 UTC to 07:00 UTC * **London Session**: 08:00 UTC to 16:00 UTC * **New York Session**: 13:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC * **Frankfurt Session**: 07:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC * **Sydney Session**: 21:00 UTC to 05:00 UTC These times are defined in 24-hour format, and they represent the opening and closing hours for each market. The script uses specific colors to represent different sessions: * **Asia**: Yellow (`asiaColor`) * **London**: Red (`londonColor`) * **New York**: Navy Blue (`nyColor`) * **Frankfurt**: Blue (`frankfurtColor`) * **Sydney**: Green (`sydneyColor`) * **Overlaps**: * London-NY overlap: Purple (`overlapLN`) * Asia-London overlap: Orange (`overlapAL`) These colors are used to highlight the background during active sessions. ### 5. **Session Highlighting**: The script uses the `bgcolor` function to change the background color of the chart when a session is active. * For each session, it checks whether the current time (bar) falls within the session's time range (adjusted by the `timezoneOffset`). * If a session is active, it will highlight the chart background in the corresponding session color. ### 6. **Overlaps**: * **London-NY Overlap**: The script checks if both the London session and the New York session are active at the same time (i.e., if their time ranges overlap). If so, it highlights the overlap area in purple. * **Asia-London Overlap**: Similarly, the script checks if both the Asia and London sessions are active at the same time, and if so, it highlights the overlap area in orange. ### 7. **Daylight Saving Time (DST) Adjustment**: * If the **`isDST`** flag is enabled (i.e., DST is active), the script adjusts the session start and end times by adding one hour to each session. This is because during DST, trading hours shift by one hour (usually in regions that observe DST). * This adjustment is applied to all session times, so the script accounts for the time change and ensures that the session times are correctly displayed. ### 8. **Final Background Color Logic**: * The `bgcolor` function checks whether each session is active by calling `timeInDailyRange` for each session and then colors the chart accordingly. * It also checks for overlapping sessions and colors the chart with the appropriate overlap color. ### Example Scenario: 1. **Timezone Offset**: If you select `timezoneOffset = 3` (UTC+3), the session times will be adjusted by adding 3 hours to the start and end times. 2. **Daylight Saving Time (DST)**: If `isDST = true` is selected, the session start times will shift by 1 hour forward (e.g., 23:00 UTC becomes 00:00 UTC for Asia). 3. **Visual Outcome**: The chart will display different colors in the background depending on which trading session is active (e.g., red for London, navy for New York), and purple or orange for overlap sessions. ### Key Features: * **Customizable Timezone Offset**: Adjust session times to reflect your local timezone. * **Daylight Saving Time Support**: Automatically adjusts session times during DST. * **Highlighting Sessions**: Color the chart background to visualize when different trading sessions are active. * **Overlap Highlighting**: Highlights the periods when certain sessions overlap (London-NY, Asia-London). In summary, this script is useful for traders who want to visually see when different forex trading sessions are active on the chart, with flexibility for timezone and DST adjustments.

Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator [ApexLegion]Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator Introduction and Theoretical Background The Market Regime | NY Session Killzones indicator is designed exclusively for New York market hours (07:00-16:00 ET). Unlike universal indicators that attempt to function across disparate global sessions, this tool employs session-specific calibration to target the distinct liquidity characteristics of the NY trading day: Pre-Market structural formation (08:00-09:30), the Morning breakout window (09:30-12:00), and the Afternoon Killzone (13:30-16:00)—periods when institutional order flow exhibits the highest concentration and most definable technical structure. By restricting its operational scope to these statistically significant time windows, the indicator focuses on signal relevance while filtering the noise inherent in lower-liquidity overnight or extended-hours trading environments. I. TECHNICAL RATIONALE: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXTUAL FUSION 1. The Limitation of Acontextual Indicators Traditional technical indicators often fail because they treat every bar and every market session equally, applying static thresholds (e.g., RSI > 70) without regard for the underlying market structure or liquidity environment. However, institutional volume and market volatility are highly dependent on the time of day (session) and the prevailing long-term risk environment. This indicator was developed to address this "contextual deficit" by fusing three distinct yet interdependent analytical layers: • Time and Structure (Macro): Identifying high-probability trading windows (Killzones) and critical structural levels (Pre-Market Range, PDH/PDL). • Volatility and Scoring (Engine): Normalizing intraday momentum against annual volatility data to create an objective, statistically grounded AI Score. • Risk Management (Execution): Implementing dynamic, volatility-adjusted Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) parameters based on the Average True Range (ATR). 2. The Mandate for 252-Day Normalization (Z-Score) What makes this tool unique is its 252-day Z-Score normalization engine that transforms raw momentum readings into statistically grounded probability scores, allowing the same indicator to deliver consistent, context-aware signals across any timeframe—from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades—without manual recalibration. THE PROBLEM OF SCALE INVARIANCE A high Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading on a 1-minute chart has a completely different market implication than a high RSI reading on a Daily chart. Simple percentage-based thresholds (like 70 or 30) do not provide true contextual significance. A sudden spike in momentum may look extreme on a 5-minute chart, but if it is statistically insignificant compared to the overall volatility of the last year, it may be a poor signal. THE SOLUTION: CROSS-TIMEFRAME Z-SCORE NORMALIZATION This indicator utilizes the Pine Script function request.security to reference the Daily timeframe for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of a momentum oscillator (RSI) over the past 252 trading days (one year). The indicator then calculates the Z-Score (Z) for the current bar's raw momentum (x): Z = (x - μ) / σ Core Implementation: float raw_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) // x = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", , // σ (252 days) lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on) float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 // Z This score provides an objective measurement of current intraday momentum significance by evaluating its statistical extremity against the yearly baseline of daily momentum. This standardized approach provides the scoring engine with consistent, global contextual information, independent of the chart's current viewing timeframe. II. CORE COMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN 1. TIME AND SESSION ANALYSIS (KILLZONES AND BIAS) The indicator visually segments the trading day based on New York (NY) trading sessions, aligning the analysis with periods of high institutional liquidity events. Pre-Market (PRE) • Function: Defines the range before the core market opens. This range establishes structural support and resistance levels (PMH/PML). • Technical Implementation: Uses a dedicated Session input (ny_pre_sess). The High and Low values (pm_h_val/pm_l_val) within this session are stored and plotted for structural reference. • Smart Extension Logic: PMH/PML lines are automatically extended until the next Pre-Market session begins, providing continuous support/resistance references overnight. NY Killzones (AM/PM) • Function: Highlights high-probability volatility windows where institutional liquidity is expected to be highest (e.g., NY open, lunch, NY close). • Technical Implementation: Separate session inputs (kz_ny_am, kz_ny_pm) are utilized to draw translucent background fills, providing a clear visual cue for timing. Market Regime Bias • Function: Determines the initial directional premise for the trading day. The bias is confirmed when the price breaks either the Pre-Market High (PMH) or the Pre-Market Low (PML). • Technical Implementation: Involves the comparison of the close price against the predefined structural levels (check_h for PMH, check_l for PML). The variable active_bias is set to Bullish or Bearish upon confirmed breakout. Trend Bar Coloring • Function: Applies a visual cue to the bars based on the established regime (Bullish=Cyan, Bearish=Red). This visual filter helps mitigate noise from counter-trend candles. • Technical Implementation: The Pine Script barcolor() function is tied directly to the value of the determined active_bias. 2. VOLATILITY NORMALIZED SCORING ENGINE The internal scoring mechanism accumulates points from multiple market factors to determine the strength and validity of a signal. The purpose is to apply a robust filtering mechanism before generating an entry. The score accumulation logic is based on the following factors: • Market Bias Alignment (+3 Points): Points are awarded for conformance with the determined active_bias (Bullish/Bearish). • VWAP Alignment (+2 Points): Assesses the position of the current price relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Alignment suggests conformity with the average institutional transaction price. • Volume Anomaly (+2 Points): Detects a price move accompanied by an abnormally high relative volume (odd_vol_spike). This suggests potential institutional participation or significant order flow. • VIX Integration (+2 Points): A score derived from the CBOE VIX index, assessing overall market stability and stress. Stable VIX levels add points, while high VIX levels (stress regimes) remove points or prevent signal generation entirely. • ML Probability Score (+3 Points): This is the core predictive engine. It utilizes a Log-Manhattan Distance Kernel to compare the current market state against historical volatility patterns. The script implements a Log-linear distance formula (log(1 + |Δ|) ). This approach mathematically dampens the impact of extreme volatility spikes (outliers), ensuring that the similarity score reflects true structural alignment rather than transient market noise. Core Technical Logic (Z-Score Normalization) float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 • Technical Purpose: This line calculates the Z-Score (cur_rsi_norm) of the current momentum oscillator reading (raw_rsi) by normalizing it against the mean (d_rsi_mean) and standard deviation (d_rsi_std) derived from 252 days of Daily momentum data. If the standard deviation is zero (market is perfectly flat), it safely returns 0.0 to prevent division by zero runtime errors. This allows the AI's probability score to be based on the current signal's significance within the context of the entire trading year. 3. EXECUTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ATR MODEL) The indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) volatility model. This helps risk management scale dynamically with market volatility by allowing users to define TP/SL distances independently based on the current ATR. Stop Loss Multiplier (sl_mult) • Function: Sets the Stop Loss (SL) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 1.5 × ATR). • Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_sl_price := close - (atr_val * sl_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades. Take Profit Multiplier (tp_mult) • Function: Sets the Take Profit (TP) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 3.0 × ATR). • Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_tp_price := close + (atr_val * tp_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades. Structural SL Option • Function: Provides an override to the ATR-based SL calculation. When enabled, it forces the Stop Loss to the Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) level, aligning the stop with a key institutional structural boundary. • Technical Logic: The indicator checks the use_struct_sl input. If true, the calculated last_sl_price is overridden with either pm_h_val or pm_l_val, dependent on the specific trade direction. Trend Continuation Logic • Function: Enables signal generation in established, strong trends (typically in the Afternoon session) based on follow-through momentum (a new high/low of the previous bar) combined with a high Signal Score, rather than exclusively relying on the initial PMH/PML breakout. • Technical Logic: For a long signal, the is_cont_long logic specifically requires checks like active_bias == s_bull AND close > high , confirming follow-through momentum within the established regime. Smart Snapping & Cleanup (16:00 Market Close) • Function: To maintain chart cleanliness, all trade boxes (TP/SL), AI Prediction zones, Killzone overlays (NY AM/PM), and Liquidity lines (PDH/PDL) are automatically "snapped" and cut off precisely at 16:00 NY Time (Market Close). • Technical Logic: When is_market_close condition is met (hour == 16 and minute == 0), the script executes cleanup logic that: ◦ Closes active trades and evaluates final P&L ◦ Snaps all TP/SL box widths to current bar ◦ Truncates AI Prediction ghost boxes at market close ◦ Cuts off NY AM/PM Killzone background fills ◦ Terminates PDH/PDL line extensions ◦ Prevents visual clutter from extending into post-market sessions 4. LIQUIDITY AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS The indicator plots key structural levels that serve as high-probability magnet zones or areas of potential liquidity absorption. • Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML): These are the high and low established during the configured pre-market session (ny_pre_sess). They define the primary structural breakout level for the day, often serving as the initial market inflection point or the key entry level for the morning session. • PDH (Previous Day High): The high of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This represents a key Liquidity Pool; large orders are often placed above this level, making it a frequent target for stop hunts or liquidity absorption by market makers. • PDL (Previous Day Low): The low of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This also represents a key Liquidity Pool and a high-probability reversal or accumulation point, particularly during the Killzones. FIFO Array Management The indicator uses FIFO (First-In-First-Out) array structures to manage liquidity lines and labels, automatically deleting the oldest objects when the count exceeds 500 to comply with drawing object limits. 5. AI PREDICTION BOX (PREDICTIVE MODEL) Function: Analyzes AI scores and volatility to project predicted killzone ranges and duration with asymmetric directional bias. A. DIRECTIONAL BIAS (ASYMMETRIC EXPANSION) The prediction model calculates directional probability using the ML kernel's 252-day Normalized RSI (Z-Score) and Relative Volume (RVOL). The prediction box dynamically adjusts its range based on this probability to provide immediate visual feedback on high-probability direction. Bullish Scenario (ml_prob > 1.0): • Upper Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive upside target • Lower Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level • Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed upward, immediately communicating bullish bias without requiring numerical analysis. Bearish Scenario (ml_prob < -1.0): • Upper Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level • Lower Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive downside target • Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed downward, immediately communicating bearish bias. Neutral Scenario (-1.0 < ml_prob < 1.0): Both ranges use balanced multipliers, creating a symmetrical box that indicates uncertainty. B. DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BOOSTER (SESSION-BASED ADAPTATION) The prediction box adjusts its volatility multiplier based on the current session and market conditions to account for intraday volatility patterns. AM Session (Morning: 07:00-12:00): • Base Multiplier: 1.0x (Neutral Base) • Logic: Morning sessions often contain false breakouts and noise. The base multiplier starts neutral to avoid over-projecting during consolidation. • Trend Booster: Multiplier jumps to 1.5x when: Price > London Session Open AND AI is Bullish (ml_prob > 0), OR Price < London Session Open AND AI is Bearish (ml_prob < 0) • Logic: When the London trend (typically 03:00-08:00 NY time) aligns with the AI model's directional conviction, the indicator aggressively targets higher volatility expansion. This filters for "institutional follow-through" rather than random morning chop. PM Session (Afternoon: 13:00-16:00): • Fixed Multiplier: 1.8x • Logic: The PM session, particularly the 13:30-16:00 ICT Silver Bullet window, often contains the "True Move" of the day. A higher baseline multiplier is applied to emphasize this session's significance over morning noise. Safety Floor: A minimum range of 0.2% of the current price is enforced regardless of volatility conditions. • Purpose: Maintains the prediction box visibility during extreme low-volatility consolidation periods where ATR might collapse to near-zero values. Volatility Clamp Protection: Maximum volatility is capped at three times the current ATR value. During flash crashes, circuit breaker halts, or large overnight gaps, raw volatility calculations can spike to extreme levels. This clamp prevents prediction boxes from expanding to unrealistic widths. Technical Implementation: f_get_ai_multipliers(float _prob) => float _abs_prob = math.abs(_prob) float _range_mult = 1.0 float _dur_mult = 1.0 if _abs_prob > 30 _range_mult := 1.8 else if _abs_prob > 10 _range_mult := 1.2 else _range_mult := 0.7 C. PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION • Wide Upper Range + Tight Lower Range: Strong bullish conviction. The model expects significant upside with limited downside risk. • Tight Upper Range + Wide Lower Range: Strong bearish conviction. The model expects significant downside with limited upside. • Symmetrical Range: Neutral/uncertain market. Wait for directional confirmation before entry. • Large Box (Extended Duration): High-confidence prediction expecting sustained movement. • Small Box (Short Duration): Low-confidence or choppy conditions. Expect quick resolution. III. PRACTICAL USAGE GUIDE: METHODOLOGY AND EXECUTION A. ESTABLISHING TRADING CONTEXT (THE THREE CHECKS) The primary goal of the dashboard is to filter out low-probability trade setups before they occur. • Timeframe Selection: Although the core AI is normalized to the Daily context, the indicator performs optimally on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) where session-based volatility is most pronounced. • PHASE Check (Timing): Always confirm the current phase. The highest probability signals typically occur within the visually highlighted NY AM/PM Killzones because this is when institutional liquidity and volume are at their peak. Signals outside these zones should be treated with skepticism. • MARKET REGIME Check (Bias): Ensure the signal (BUY/SELL arrow) aligns with the established MARKET REGIME bias (BULLISH/BEARISH). Counter-bias signals are technically allowed if the score is high, but they represent a higher risk trade. • VIX REGIME Check (Risk): Review the VIX REGIME for overall market stress. Periods marked DANGER (high VIX) indicate elevated volatility and market uncertainty. During DANGER regimes, reducing position size or choosing a wider SL Multiplier is advisable. B. DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION (THE REAL-TIME STATUS DISPLAY) The indicator features a non-intrusive dashboard that provides real-time, context-aware information based on the core analytical engines. PHASE: (PRE-MARKET, NY-AM, LUNCH, NY-PM) • Meaning: Indicates the current institutional session time. This is derived from the customizable session inputs. • Interpretation: Signals generated during NY-AM or NY-PM (Killzones) are generally considered higher-probability due to increased institutional participation and liquidity. MARKET REGIME: (BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL) • Meaning: The established directional bias for the trading day, confirmed by the price breaking above the Pre-Market High (PMH) or below the Pre-Market Low (PML). • Interpretation: Trading with the established regime (e.g., taking a BUY signal when the regime is BULLISH) is the primary method. NEUTRAL indicates that the PMH/PML boundary has not yet been broken, suggesting market ambiguity. VIX REGIME: (STABLE, DANGER) • Meaning: A measure of overall market stress and stability, based on the CBOE VIX index integration. The thresholds (20.0 and 35.0 default) are customizable by the user. • Interpretation: STABLE indicates stable volatility, favoring momentum trades. DANGER (VIX > 35.0) indicates extreme stress; signals generated in this environment require caution and often necessitate smaller position sizing. SIGNAL SCORE: (0 to 10+ Points) • Meaning: The accumulated score derived from the VOLATILITY NORMALIZED AI SCORING ENGINE, factoring in bias, VWAP alignment, volume, and the Z-Score probability. • Interpretation: The indicator generates a signal when this score meets or exceeds the Minimum Entry Score (default 3). A higher score (e.g., 7+) indicates greater statistical confluence and a stronger potential entry. AI PROBABILITY: (Bull/Bear %) • Meaning: Directional probability derived from the ML kernel, expressed as a percentage with Bull/Bear label. • Interpretation: Higher absolute values (>20%) indicate stronger directional conviction from the ML model. LIVE METRICS SECTION: • STATUS: Shows current trade state (LONG, SHORT, or INACTIVE) • ENTRY: Displays the entry price for active trades • TARGET: Shows the calculated Take Profit level • ROI | KILL ZONE: ◦ For Active Trades: Displays real-time P&L percentage during NY session hours. ◦ At Market Close (16:00 NY): Since this is a NY session-specific indicator, any active position is automatically evaluated and closed at 16:00. The final result (VALIDATED or INVALIDATED) is determined based on whether the trade reached profit or loss at market close. ◦ Result Persistence: The killzone result (VALIDATED/INVALIDATED) remains displayed on the dashboard until the next NY AM KILLZONE session begins, providing a clear performance reference for the previous trading day. Note: If a trade is still trending at 16:00, it will be force-closed and evaluated at that moment, as the indicator operates strictly within NY trading hours. C. SIGNAL GENERATION AND ENTRY LOGIC The indicator generates signals based on two distinct technical setups, both of which require the accumulated SIGNAL SCORE to be above the configured Minimum Entry Score. Breakout Entry • Trigger Condition: Price closes beyond the Pre-Market High (PMH) or Low (PML). • Rationale: This setup targets the initial directional movement for the day. A breakout confirms the institutional bias by decisively breaking the first major structural boundary, making the signal high-probability. Continuation Entry • Trigger Condition: The market is already in an established regime (e.g., BULLISH), and the price closes above the high (or below the low) of the previous bar, while the SIGNAL SCORE remains high. Requires the Allow Trend Continuation parameter to be active. • Rationale: This setup targets follow-through trades, typically in the afternoon session, capturing momentum after the morning's direction has been confirmed. This filters for sustainability in the established trend. Execution: Execute the trade immediately upon the close of the bar that prints the BUY or SELL signal arrow. D. MANAGING RISK AND EXITS 1. RISK PARAMETER SELECTION The indicator immediately draws the dynamic TP/SL zones upon entry. • Volatility-Based (Recommended Default): By setting the SL Multiplier (e.g., 1.5) and the TP Multiplier (e.g., 3.0), the indicator enforces a constant, dynamically sized risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2 in this example). This helps that risk management scales proportionally with the current market volatility (ATR). • Structural Override: Selecting the Use Structural SL parameter fixes the stop-loss not to the ATR calculation, but to the more significant structural level of the PMH or PML. This is utilized by traders who favor institutional entry rules where the stop is placed behind the liquidity boundary. 2. EXIT METHODS • Hard Exit: Price hits the visual TP or SL box boundary. • Soft Exit (Momentum Decay Filter): If the trade is active and the SIGNAL SCORE drops below the Exit Score Threshold (default 3), it indicates that the momentum supporting the trade has significantly collapsed. This serves as a momentum decay filter, prompting the user to consider a manual early exit even if the SL/TP levels have not been hit, thereby preserving capital during low-momentum consolidation. • Market Close Auto-Exit: At 16:00 NY time, any active trade is automatically closed and classified as VALIDATED (profit) or INVALIDATED (loss) based on current price vs. entry price.

How to Set Up an Alert: Click the "Alert" (Clock icon) in the top TradingView toolbar. Select "Market Regime NY Session " from the Condition dropdown menu. Choose one of the specific trigger conditions below depending on your strategy: 🚀 Available Alert Conditions 1. BUY (Long Entry) Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bullish Setup is detected. Conditions: Market Bias is Bullish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score. Usage: Use this alert to open new Long positions or close existing Short positions. 2. SELL (Short Entry) Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bearish Setup is detected. Conditions: Market Bias is Bearish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score. Usage: Use this alert to open new Short positions or close existing Long positions. V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS ⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility) This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h). Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation. Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional. ⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500) A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously. On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data. For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h). The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data. VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES • Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter. • Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached. • VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade. • Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested. • 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity. VII. DISCLAIMER & RISK WARNINGS • Educational Purpose Only This indicator, including all associated code, documentation, and visual outputs, is provided strictly for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instruments. • No Guarantee of Performance Past performance is not indicative of future results. All metrics displayed on the dashboard (including "ROI" and trade results) are theoretical calculations based on historical data. These figures do not account for real-world trading factors such as slippage, liquidity gaps, spread costs, or broker commissions. • High-Risk Warning Trading cryptocurrencies, futures, and leveraged financial products involves a substantial risk of loss. The use of leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Users acknowledge that they are solely responsible for their trading decisions and should conduct independent due diligence before executing any trades. • Software Limitations The software is provided "as is" without warranty. Users should be aware that market data feeds on analysis platforms may experience latency or outages, which can affect signal generation accuracy.

Quantura - Session High/Low Introduction “Quantura – Session High/Low” is a professional-grade session mapping indicator that automatically identifies and visualizes the highs, lows, and ranges of key global trading sessions — London, New York, and Asia. It helps traders understand when and where liquidity tends to accumulate, allowing for better market structure analysis and session-based strategy alignment. Originality & Value This indicator unifies the three most influential global sessions into a single, adaptive visualization tool. Unlike typical session indicators, it dynamically updates live session highs and lows in real time while marking session boundaries and transitions. Its multi-session management system allows for immediate recognition of overlapping liquidity zones — a crucial feature for institutional and intraday traders. The value and originality come from: Real-time tracking of session highs, lows, and developing ranges. Simultaneous visualization of multiple global sessions. Optional vertical range lines for clearer visual segmentation. Customizable session times, colors, and time zone offset for global accuracy. Automatically extending and updating lines as each session progresses. Functionality & Core Logic Detects the start and end of each trading session (London, New York, Asia) using built-in time logic and user-defined UTC offsets. Initializes session-specific high and low variables at the start of each new session. Continuously updates session high/low levels as new candles form. Draws color-coded horizontal lines for each session’s high and low. Optionally adds vertical dotted lines to visually connect session range extremes. Locks each session’s range once it ends, preserving historical structure for review. Parameters & Customization New York Session: Enable/disable, customize time (default 15:30–21:30), and set color. London Session: Enable/disable, customize time (default 09:00–16:30), and set color. Asia Session: Enable/disable, customize time (default 02:30–08:00), and set color. Vertical Line: Toggle dotted vertical lines connecting session high and low levels. UTC Offset: Adjust session timing to align with your chart’s local time zone. Visualization & Display Each session is color-coded for quick identification (default: blue for London, red for New York, green for Asia). Horizontal lines track evolving session highs and lows in real time. Once a session closes, the lines remain fixed to mark historical range boundaries. Vertical dotted lines (optional) visually connect the session’s high and low for clarity. Supports full overlay display without interfering with other technical indicators. Use Cases Identify liquidity zones and range extremes formed during active trading sessions. Observe session overlaps (London–New York) to anticipate volatility spikes. Combine with volume or market structure tools for session-based confluence. Track how price interacts with prior session highs/lows to detect potential reversals. Analyze session-specific performance patterns for algorithmic or discretionary systems. Limitations & Recommendations The indicator is designed for intraday analysis and may not provide meaningful output on daily or higher timeframes. Adjust session times and UTC offset based on your broker’s or exchange’s timezone. Does not provide trading signals — it visualizes session structure only. Combine with liquidity and volatility indicators for full contextual understanding. Markets & Timeframes Compatible with all asset classes — including crypto, forex, indices, and commodities — and optimized for intraday timeframes (1m–4h). Particularly useful for traders analyzing session overlaps and volatility transitions. Author & Access Developed 100% by Quantura. Published as a Open-source script indicator. Access is free.

Market Sessions Market Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific) Summary This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking. It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day. Who it’s for Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you. What it shows Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions. Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses. Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time. Key Features Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature. Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE"). Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on. Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off. Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually. Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high. Why this helps Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns. Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions. Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan. Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed. Quick setup Go to Timezone Settings. Decide how you want to enter times: Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times). Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin. Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes. Style the colors to match your chart theme.

DayFlow VWAP Relay Forex Majors Strategy Summary in one paragraph DayFlow VWAP Relay is a day-trading strategy for major FX pairs on intraday timeframes, demonstrated on EURUSD 15 minutes. It waits for alignment between a daily anchored VWAP regime check, residual percentiles, and lower-timeframe micro flow before suggesting trades. The originality is the fusion of daily VWAP residual percentiles with a live micro-flow score from 1 minute data to switch between fade and breakout behavior inside the same session. Add it to a clean chart and use the markers and alerts. Scope and intent • Markets: Major FX pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD • Timeframes: One minute to one hour • Default demo in this publication: EURUSD on 15 minutes • Purpose: Reduce false starts by acting only when context, location and micro flow agree • Limits: This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only Originality and usefulness • Core novelty: Residual percentiles to daily anchored VWAP decide “balanced versus expanding day”. A separate 1 minute micro-flow score confirms direction, so the same model fades extremes in balance and rides range breaks in expansion • Failure modes addressed: Chop fakeouts and unconfirmed breakouts are filtered by the expansion gate and micro-flow threshold • Testability: Every input is exposed. Bands, background regime color, and markers show why a suggestion appears • Portable yardstick: Stops and targets are ATR multiples converted to ticks, which transfer across symbols • Open source status: No reused third-party code that requires attribution Method overview in plain language The day is anchored with a VWAP that updates from the daily session start. Price minus VWAP is the residual. Percentiles of that residual measured over a rolling window define location extremes for the current day. A regime score compares residual volatility to price volatility. When expansion is low, the day is treated as balanced and the model fades residual extremes if 1 minute micro flow points back to VWAP. When expansion is high, the model trades breakouts outside the VWAP bands if slope and micro flow agree with the move. Base measures • Range basis: True Range smoothed by ATR for stops and targets, length 14 • Return basis: Not required for signals; residuals are absolute price distance to VWAP Components • Daily Anchor VWAP Bands. VWAP with standard-deviation bands. Slope sign is used for trend confirmation on breakouts • Residual Percentiles. Rolling percentiles of close minus VWAP over Signal length. Identify location extremes inside the day • Expansion Ratio. Standard deviation of residuals divided by standard deviation of price over Signal length. Classifies balanced versus expanding day • Micro Flow. Net up minus down closes from 1 minute data across a short span, normalized to −1..+1. Confirms direction and avoids fades against pressure • Session Window optional. Restricts trading to your configured hours to avoid thin periods • Cooldown optional. Bars to wait after a position closes to prevent immediate re-entry Fusion rule Gating rather than weighting. First choose regime by Expansion Ratio versus the Expansion gate. Inside each regime all listed conditions must be true: location test plus micro-flow threshold plus session window plus cooldown. Breakouts also require VWAP slope alignment. Signal rule • Long suggestion on balanced day: residual at or below the lower percentile and micro flow positive above the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied • Short suggestion on balanced day: residual at or above the upper percentile and micro flow negative below the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied • Long suggestion on expanding day: close above the upper VWAP band, VWAP slope positive, micro flow positive, session and cooldown satisfied • Short suggestion on expanding day: close below the lower VWAP band, VWAP slope negative, micro flow negative, session and cooldown satisfied • Positions flip on opposite suggestions or exit by brackets What you will see on the chart • Markers on suggestion bars: L for long, S for short • Exit occurs on reverse signal or when a bracket order is filled • Reference lines: daily anchored VWAP with upper and lower bands • Optional background: teal for balanced day, orange for expanding day Inputs with guidance Setup • Signal length. Residual and regime window. Typical 40 to 100. Higher smooths, lower reacts faster Micro Flow • Micro TF. Lower timeframe used for micro flow, default 1 minute • Micro span bars. Count of lower-TF bars. Typical 5 to 20 • Micro flow gate 0..1. Minimum absolute flow. Raising it demands stronger confirmation and reduces trade count VWAP Bands • VWAP stdev multiplier. Band width. Typical 0.8 to 1.6. Wider bands reduce breakout frequency and increase fade distance • Expansion gate 0..3. Threshold to switch from fades to breakouts. Raising it favors fades, lowering it favors breakouts Sessions • Use session filter. Enable to trade only inside your window • Trade window UTC. Default 07:00 to 17:00 Risk • ATR length. Stop and target basis. Typical 10 to 21 • Stop ATR x. Initial stop distance in ATR multiples • Target ATR x. Profit target distance in ATR multiples • Cooldown bars after close. Wait bars before a new entry • Side. Both, long only, or short only View • Show VWAP and bands • Color bars by residual regime Properties visible in this publication • Initial capital 10000 • Base currency Default • request.security uses lookahead off everywhere • Strategy: Percent of equity with value 3. Pyramiding 0. Commission cash per order 0.0001 USD. Slippage 3 ticks. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier ON. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick OFF. Using standard OHLC fills ON. Realism and responsible publication No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategies must run on standard candles for signals and orders. Honest limitations and failure modes High impact news, session opens, and thin liquidity can invalidate assumptions. Very quiet days can reduce contrast between residuals and price volatility. Session windows use the chart exchange time. If both stop and target are touched within a single bar, TradingView’s standard OHLC price-movement model decides the outcome. Expect different behavior on illiquid pairs or during holidays. The model is sensitive to session definitions and feed time. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.

KillZones & Sessions [TradingFinder] Volume | Asia, London & NY 🔵 Introduction 🟣 Session The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only Saturdays and Sundays being off; traders often focus on one of the forex trading sessions instead of trying to trade in all markets 24 hours a day. Trading sessions are time intervals during which a specific financial market is active and trades are conducted. The Asia, London, and New York sessions are the most important trading sessions throughout the 24-hour period, during which a significant amount of money and liquidity enters the market. 🟣 Kill Zone Traders in financial markets profit from the difference between the price at which they buy or sell and the current market price. Traders have different time horizons for trading. Among these, some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading and must operate during times when the market has desirable trading volumes and significant price movements. Kill zones are segments of a session with higher trading volumes and price fluctuations compared to the rest of the session. 🔵 How to Use 🟣 Session Time The "Asia Session" consists of two sessions: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00 and ends at 06:00. Similarly, the beginning of the "Asia KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00, and it ends at 03:55. The "London Session" consists of two sessions: "Frankfurt" and "London." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 14:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "London KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 09:55. The beginning of the "New York am" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 19:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York am KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 16:55. The beginning of the "New York pm" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 22:55. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York pm KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 20:55. Important : To prevent session overlap, the working hours of each session have slightly changed. 🔵 Features 🟣 Simultaneous Session and Kill Zone With this indicator, you can simultaneously view the kill zone and session. High and low lines are used to indicate sessions, while filled areas with color represent kill zones. If you do not want to see kill zones, you can turn off the display settings. 🟣 Candle, Time, and Volume Using the "More Info" feature, you can see the number of candles, elapsed time, and traded volume within the colored filled area. 🔵 Settings •Show More Info: To display "More Info," you need to turn on this feature and turn it off whenever you don't need it. • You can also customize these settings for each session separately : o Display or hide session. o Choose session color. o Set session time range. o Display or hide kill zone. o Set kill zone time range.

ORB Heikin Ashi SPY 5min Correlation Strategy Overview: The ORB (Opening Range Breakout) strategy combined with Heikin Ashi candles and Relative Volume (RVOL) indicator aims to capitalize on significant price movements that occur shortly after the market opens. This strategy identifies breakouts above or below the opening range, using Heikin Ashi candles for smoother price visualization and RVOL to gauge the strength of the breakout. Components: Opening Range Breakout (ORB): The strategy starts by defining the opening range, typically the first few minutes of the trading session. It then identifies breakouts above the high or below the low of this range as potential entry points. Heikin Ashi Candles: Heikin Ashi candles are used to provide a smoother representation of price movements compared to traditional candlesticks. By averaging open, close, high, and low prices of the previous candle, Heikin Ashi candles reduce noise and highlight trends more effectively. Relative Volume (RVOL): RVOL compares the current volume of a stock to its average volume over a specified period. It helps traders identify abnormal trading activity, which can signal potential price movements. Candle for correlation : In this case we are using SPY candles. It can also use different asset Strategy Execution: Initialization: The strategy initializes by setting up variables and parameters, including the ORB period, session timings, and Heikin Ashi candle settings. ORB Calculation: It calculates the opening range by identifying the high and low prices during the specified session time. These values serve as the initial reference points for potential breakouts. For this we are looking for the first 30 min of the US opening session. After that we are going to use the next 2 hours to check for breakout opportunities. Heikin Ashi Transformation: Optionally, the strategy transforms traditional candlestick data into Heikin Ashi format for smoother visualization and trend identification. Breakout Identification: It continuously monitors price movements within the session and checks if the current high breaches the ORB high or if the current low breaches the ORB low. These events trigger potential long or short entry signals, respectively. RVOL Analysis: Simultaneously, the strategy evaluates the relative volume of the asset to gauge the strength of the breakout. A surge in volume accompanying the breakout confirms the validity of the signal. In this case we are looking for at least a 1 value of the division between currentVolume and pastVolume Entry and Exit Conditions: When a breakout occurs and is confirmed by RVOL and is within our session time, the strategy enters a long or short position accordingly. It does not have a stop loss or a takie profit level, instead it will always exit at the end of the trading session, 5 minutes before Position Sizing and Commissions: For the purpose of this backtest, the strategy allocated 10% of the capital for each trade and assumes a trading commission of 0.01$ per share ( twice the IBKR broker values) Session End: At the end of the trading session, the strategy closes all open positions to avoid overnight exposure. Conclusion: The combination of ORB breakout strategy, Heikin Ashi candles, and RVOL provides traders with a robust framework for identifying and capitalizing on early trends in the market. By leveraging these technical indicators together, traders can make more informed decisions and improve the overall performance of their trading strategies. However, like any trading strategy, it's essential to backtest thoroughly and adapt the strategy to different market conditions to ensure its effectiveness over time.
