Sessions
Session VWAPs [cryptalent]This indicator provides a more granular and timely analysis of market structure compared to traditional daily Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). It splits the 24-hour trading day into four distinct, customizable sessions (T1, T2, T3, T4), calculating an independent Session VWAP and Standard Deviation Bands for each segment.
🌟 Key Features and Functionality
1. Segmented VWAP Calculation
Purpose: To track the true Volume Weighted Average Price (Fair Value) specific to the participants and trading activities within different global market sessions (e.g., Asian, European, US sessions).
Design: By default, the 24 hours (based on UTC time) are divided into T1 (00:00-06:00), T2 (06:00-12:00), T3 (12:00-20:00), and T4 (20:00-00:00).
Mechanism: The VWAP calculation resets at the start of each designated session, offering a clearer, segment-specific view of market consensus and volume absorption.
2. Standard Deviation Bands
Calculation: Each Session VWAP line is accompanied by upper and lower standard deviation bands.
Control: The width of these bands is controlled by the user input "Band Multiplier" (default is 1.0, representing one standard deviation).
Application: These bands measure the Volume-Weighted Volatility and define the expected "normal" trading range for the current session.
- Price within the bands suggests consolidation or a normal auction process.
- Price breaking out of the bands indicates strong directional momentum or an extreme/overbought/oversold condition for that specific session.
3. High Customization (User Inputs)
Session Timing: All four session start and end times (in UTC) are customizable, allowing traders to align the indicator with specific market hours or individual trading strategies.
Price Source: The source price used for the VWAP calculation is selectable (default is close).
💡 Trading Applications
1. Fair Value Identification: The VWAP line serves as the "Fair Value" or "Volume-Weighted Consensus Cost" for the active session.
Price above VWAP: Buyers are in control during that session.
Price below VWAP: Sellers are in control during that session.
2. Dynamic Support & Resistance: Both the VWAP and the Standard Deviation Bands often act as reliable dynamic support and resistance levels.
3. Volatility Assessment: The width of the bands reflects the volume-weighted volatility of the current session. Narrow bands suggest range-bound trading; wide bands imply strong directional activity.
4. Trend Strength: Sustained price action outside of the standard deviation bands is a key measure of the strength and commitment behind a current trend.
JP7FX Signals ProJP7FX Signals Pro
Smart session signals based on structure, liquidity shifts and volatility filters.
Designed for use on the 1 minute timeframe.
What this tool does
This indicator builds signals around three things traders track every day.
• session ranges for Asia, Frankfurt, London and New York
• Fair Value Gap behaviour
• Supertrend shifts with volatility confirmation
The script draws each session range on your chart. It tracks when price breaks a session high or low, then checks if the market is above or below the daily open. These conditions help filter trades by direction during different sessions.
It also detects bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps. The script tracks when an FVG forms, when price enters the imbalance and when it gets mitigated. These checks create part of the signal logic.
Supertrend is used as an extra filter. A crossover above or below the Supertrend gives a directional bias. When combined with session behaviour and FVG conditions, the script can mark possible long or short signals during London or New York.
How the signals form
A signal only prints when the script has all conditions in place.
This includes:
• a session range break in the correct direction
• a price position relative to the daily open
• confirmation from Supertrend
• FVG creation or mitigation on the right side of price
• liquidity taken in previous sessions
These rules reduce noise and avoid signals that appear in weak conditions.
What the indicator is for
• understanding how sessions behave on the 1 minute chart
• tracking liquidity behaviour
• seeing when a clean break and trend shift takes place
• getting notified when the market forms the conditions you set
This is not a buy or sell system on its own
Signals do not replace analysis. You still need market structure, higher timeframe direction, orderblocks or your own trade model.
A signal is only a prompt to look at the chart, not a confirmation to enter a trade.
Price can shift quickly around sessions, so check the context before acting on any alert.
Important notes
• designed for the 1 minute timeframe
• signals do not guarantee trend continuation
• conditions can form in strong or weak market phases
• use your own risk rules and validation before entering trades
JP7FX Signals Pro helps you track session behaviour and FVG interaction more efficiently, but trading decisions still need your full chart process.

The statistical features analyze the last N sessions (you choose the number) to calculate typical extension behavior from either the session open or the session high/low points.
The z-score calculation helps identify whether the current session's range is normal, expanded, or contracted compared to recent history, allowing traders to adjust expectations for the rest of the day.
Use Case:
This indicator helps traders identify key support and resistance levels based on early session price action, understand current range context relative to historical averages, and spot potential reversal zones during specific time periods.

ASR / ADR by Vanya_zvwey
🇺🇦 Детальний Опис та Інструкція Користувача Індикатора ASR/ADR Grid
Цей індикатор є інструментом для візуалізації волатильності, який використовує історичні дані для прогнозування потенційних цінових рівнів розширення та корекції. Він будує сітки на основі середнього діапазону сесії (ASR) та середнього денного діапазону (ADR).
🔑 Ключові Концепції
ASR (Average Session Range): Середній діапазон High-Low, який зазвичай досягається протягом обраної торгової сесії (Азія, Лондон, Нью-Йорк) за останні N днів.
ADR (Average Daily Range): Середній діапазон High-Low, досягнутий протягом цілого 24-годинного торгового дня за останні N днів.
Синхронізація Часового Поясу: На відміну від багатьох індикаторів, цей індикатор залежить від введеного саме вами Session Timezone. Він гарантує, що ваші сесії та денні відкриття розраховуються правильно, незалежно від часового поясу вашого графіку.
⚙️ Посібник із Налаштування (Вхідні Параметри)
Налаштування згруповані для зручності:
1. General Settings (Загальні Налаштування)
Session Timezone: Виберіть часовий пояс, який використовуватиметься як єдиний орієнтир для всіх часів Start/End. Це може бути "UTC+2", "America/New_York" тощо.
Lookback Period (Days): Кількість днів, що використовується для обчислення середнього значення ASR та ADR.
Grid Direction:
"Up": Сітки будуються від поточного Low сесії/дня і розширюються вгору.
"Down": Сітки будуються від поточного High сесії/дня і розширюються вниз.
Grid Step %: Крок для внутрішніх ліній сітки (наприклад, 25% дасть лінії 25%, 50%, 75%).
2. Session Settings (Asia, London, New York)
Show : Увімкнення/вимкнення відображення сітки для конкретної сесії.
Start Time (HH:MM) / End Time (HH:MM): Час початку та кінця сесії, який відповідає вибраному вами Session Timezone.
3. ADR (Daily) Grid (Сітка Денного Діапазону)
Show ADR Grid: Увімкнення/вимкнення сітки, що охоплює весь день.
ADR Anchor: Визначає, від якої ціни починається відлік ADR (0%):
"Day Open": Як якір використовується ціна відкриття дня (00:00 у вашому часовому поясі).
"Day Low/High": Як якір використовується поточний денний екстремум (Low, якщо напрямок "Up", або High, якщо напрямок "Down").
📈 Використання та Інтерпретація
Сітка складається з рівнів від 0% до 100%, які візуалізують, наскільки далеко ціна просунулася щодо середнього історичного діапазону.
Структура Сітки
0% Рівень (Границя): Це якірна точка (High або Low) поточної сесії/дня, з якої починається розрахунок. Лінія суцільна.
100% Рівень (Границя): Це ціновий рівень, що дорівнює 0% Якір + ASR/ADR. Це статистично очікуваний максимальний рух. Лінія суцільна.
Внутрішні Рівні (Grid Step): Пунктирні лінії (25%, 50%, 75% тощо), які показують проміжні цілі або зони корекції.
Торгова Інтерпретація
Рух до 50%: Ціна досягла половини середнього діапазону.
Досягнення 100%: Ціна досягла "середнього" діапазону волатильності. Це часто служить хорошою ціллю для фіксації прибутку або точкою, де можна очікувати корекції/розвороту, оскільки рух вже відповідає історичним нормам.
Рух за межі 100% (Екстремум): Рух, що перевищує 100% ASR/ADR, вважається нетипово сильним або екстремальним.
🇬🇧 Detailed Description and User Guide for the ASR/ADR Grid Indicator
This indicator is a robust volatility visualization tool designed to project potential price extension and retracement levels based on historical data. It constructs price grids using the Average Session Range (ASR) and the Average Daily Range (ADR).
🔑 Key Concepts
ASR (Average Session Range): The average High-to-Low range typically achieved during a selected trading session (Asia, London, New York) over the last N days
ADR (Average Daily Range): The average High-to-Low range achieved during the entire 24-hour trading day over the last N days.
Timezone Synchronization: This is critical. The indicator relies on a single Session Timezone input to correctly calculate all session start/end times and daily opens, ensuring accuracy regardless of your charting platform's native exchange time.
⚙️ Setup Guide (Input Parameters)
The settings are organized into logical groups:
1. General Settings
Session Timezone: Select the timezone that will serve as the single reference point for all Start/End times below (e.g., "UTC+2", "America/New_York").
Lookback Period (Days): The number of preceding days used to compute the average ASR and ADR values.
Grid Direction:
"Up": The grids are anchored at the current session/day's Low and extend upwards.
"Down": The grids are anchored at the current session/day's High and extend downwards.
Grid Step %: The percentage increment for the inner grid lines (e.g., 25% will plot lines at 25%, 50%, 75%).
2. Session Settings (Asia, London, New York)
Show : Toggles the visibility of the grid for that specific session.
Start Time (HH:MM) / End Time (HH:MM): The start and end times for the session, which must correspond to your chosen Session Timezone. The script supports overnight sessions (e.g., starting at 22:00 and ending at 02:00 the next day).
3. ADR (Daily) Grid
Show ADR Grid: Toggles the visibility of the grid covering the entire trading day.
ADR Anchor: Determines the price point from which the ADR (0%) is measured:
"Day Open": The anchor is the day's opening price (at 00:00 in your chosen timezone).
"Day Low/High": The anchor is the current day's extreme (Low if Direction is "Up", or High if Direction is "Down").
📈 Usage and Interpretation
The grid levels, ranging from 0% to 100%, visualize how far the price has traveled relative to the average historical volatility for that specific period.
Grid Structure
0% Level (Border): This is the anchor point (High or Low) of the current session/day, serving as the starting reference for the calculation. This line is solid.
100% Level (Border): This is the price level equal to the 0% Anchor + ASR/ADR. It represents the statistically expected average maximum move. This line is also solid.
Inner Levels (Grid Step): These dotted lines (25%, 50%, 75%, etc.) serve as intermediate targets or potential zones for pullback.
Trading Interpretation
Reaching 50%: The price has achieved half of the average range.
Reaching 100%: The price has fulfilled the "average" volatility range. This level often acts as an excellent profit target or a point where you might expect correction or reversal, as the move has met historical norms.
Moving Beyond 100% (Extreme): A price move that exceeds 100% ASR/ADR is considered unusually strong or extreme volatility.

════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
════════════════════════════════════════════
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
Session Tracking Algorithm:
• Detects session start/end using time() function with timezone support
• Continuously monitors and updates high/low during active session
• Finalizes range when session ends using var persistence
• Draws boxes using real-time bar_index positioning
• Maintains session ranges across multiple days for reference
Multi-Timeframe System:
• Uses ta.change(time()) detection to identify new MTF candle formation
• Constructs candles using custom Type definitions (Candle, CandleSet, Config)
• Stores OHLC data in arrays with automatic size management
• Renders using box objects (bodies) and line objects (wicks)
• Updates current candle every tick; historical candles remain static
• Calculates dynamic positioning based on user settings (offset, spacing, width)
Object-Oriented Architecture:
• Custom Type "Candle" - Stores OHLC values, timestamps, visual elements
• Custom Type "CandleSet" - Manages arrays of candles + settings per timeframe
• Custom Type "Config" - Centralizes all display configuration
• Efficient memory management via unshift() for new candles, pop() for old
Performance Optimizations:
• var declarations minimize recalculation overhead
• Conditional execution (sessions only on short timeframes)
• Maximum display limits prevent excessive object creation
• Timeframe validation at barstate.isfirst reduces redundant checks
════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 HOW TO USE
════════════════════════════════════════════
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart (works best on 1m-30m timeframes)
2. Open Settings → "Trading Sessions" group
- Enable desired sessions (NYO, LNO, AS, or custom)
- Select your timezone from 60+ options
- Adjust colors and transparency
3. Open Settings → "Multi-TF Candles" group
- Enable timeframes (TF1-TF8)
- Configure each timeframe and display count
- Customize colors and layout
READING THE CHART:
• Session boxes show high/low ranges during active sessions

• Labels identify each timeframe (15m, 1H, 4H, etc.)
• Real-time updates on the most recent MTF candle
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
Session Breakout Strategy:
→ Identify session high/low (e.g., Asian session 16:30-00:00)
→ Wait for break above/below range
→ Confirm with higher timeframe candle close
→ Enter in breakout direction, stop at opposite side of range
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation:
→ Spot setup on primary chart (e.g., 5m)
→ Verify 15m, 1H, 4H candles align with trade direction
→ Only take trades where higher TFs confirm
→ Exit when higher TF candles show reversal
Combined Session + MTF:
→ Asian session establishes range overnight
→ London Open breaks Asian high
→ Confirm with bullish 15m + 1H candles
→ Enter long with stop below Asian high
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION

[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.

Manipulation Model [FB]GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Manipulation Model indicator is a complete rule-based system that identifies and confirms setups from the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model. It detects large impulsive candles, called Manipulation Candles and Almost Manipulation Candles, that form around key market levels such as session highs/lows, daily, weekly, and monthly levels, or higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). Using this structure, the indicator automatically marks long, short, bulltrap, and beartrap setups with predefined entry, stop loss, and take profit areas.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with the Funded Brothers.
ATTRIBUTION NOTICE:
This indicator incorporates concepts and source code from the indicator “MCs with Alerts” authored by @hamza_xau on TradingView. We have received full written permission from the original author to use and commercialize this code within this invite-only script.
Original script: MCs with Alerts:
What is the purpose of the indicator?:
The indicator automates detection of the Manipulation Model trading strategy setups by combining candle structure, key levels, session timing, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps. It removes discretion by enforcing fixed conditions for valid signals and automatically managing entry, stop-loss, and take-profit logic.
What is the theory behind the indicator?:
The indicator is built on how price interacts with major reference points such as session highs and lows, or daily and weekly levels. These levels are commonly referenced in technical analysis as areas where price previously reversed or consolidated. Manipulation Candles identify moments when price breaks past these reference points on both sides of the prior candle before closing firmly in one direction. When these candles form near higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps, it reflects price reacting inside an area that previously showed directional imbalance. The higher timeframe EMA filter aligns all detected setups with the broader market trend, allowing only signals that match the dominant direction.

MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS:
Manipulation Candlesticks (MCs) are candles that sweep both sides of the previous candle’s range and close outside of it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles form the foundation for the long/short setups. Once one forms, the indicator checks its position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists.
🔹What is a Manipulation Candlestick?
A Manipulation Candlestick (MC) is defined by structure rather than size. It forms when price takes out both the high and low of the previous candle, then closes outside that range.
A bullish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low and then closes above the previous candle’s high.
A bearish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high and then closes below the previous candle’s low.
🔹How to interpret and use Manipulation Candlesticks:
Manipulation Candlesticks show where price made a strong one-sided move after taking both sides of the previous candle’s range. When one forms, it marks an area where buyers or sellers were likely trapped as price moved aggressively in one direction.
A bullish MC shows strong buying after a false move lower. Price sweeps below the prior low, takes out the prior high, and closes above the previous range, confirming buyers are in control.
A bearish MC shows strong selling after a false move higher than the previous candle’s high. Price sweeps above the prior high, drops below the prior low, and closes beneath the previous range, confirming sellers are dominant.
🔹How Manipulation Candlesticks are identified:
The indicator confirms Manipulation Candles using three filters once a candle closes:
Sweep Condition:
Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low, before closing outside that range.
Directional Close:
A bullish MC must close above the previous high, and a bearish MC must close below the previous low.
Wick Confirmation:
A bullish MC must have a smaller upper wick (high - close) than lower wick (open - low), and a bearish MC must have a smaller lower wick (close - low) than upper wick (high - open).
Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Manipulation Candle.
🔹Bullish Manipulation Candle
A bullish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, then breaks above its high, and closes above it. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing little pullback as price pushed upward and confirming strong buying pressure.
🔹Bearish Manipulation Candle
A bearish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, then drops below its low, and closes beneath it. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing little pullback as price moved downward and confirming strong selling pressure.
🔹Manipulation Candle Visuals
When the indicator detects a Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section.
The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Manipulation Candlesticks.
ALMOST MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS:
Almost Manipulation Candlesticks (AMCs) are similar to Manipulation Candles, except they close inside the previous candle’s range instead of outside it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles help identify when price is showing the same sweeping behavior but hasn’t yet confirmed full displacement. They act as early warnings that a manipulation event may be developing. Just like Manipulation Candles, the indicator checks an AMC’s position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists.
🔹What is an Almost Manipulation Candlestick?
An Almost Manipulation Candlestick (AMC) forms when price sweeps both the high and low of the previous candle and closes inside that candle’s range.
A bullish AMC occurs when price sweeps below the previous low, moves above the previous high, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of above it.
A bearish AMC occurs when price sweeps above the previous high, drops below the previous low, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of beneath it.
🔹How to Interpret and Use Almost Manipulation Candlesticks:
Almost Manipulation Candles highlight hesitation or early signs of manipulation.
A bullish AMC indicates buyers pushed price up after sweeping lower, but price did not close decisively above the prior high.
A bearish AMC indicates sellers pushed price down after sweeping higher, but price did not close decisively below the prior low.
🔹How Almost Manipulation Candlesticks are identified:
The indicator confirms Almost Manipulation Candles using the same sweep and wick logic as Manipulation Candles, except the candle’s close must remain inside the previous candle’s range:
Sweep Condition:
Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low.
Candle Close Location:
The candle’s close must stay within the prior candle’s range.
Wick Confirmation:
For a bullish AMC, the lower wick must be larger than the upper wick. For a bearish AMC, the upper wick must be larger than the lower wick.
Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Almost Manipulation Candle.
🔹Bullish Almost Manipulation Candle
A bullish AMC forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, moves above the prior candle’s high, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing that buyers defended lower prices but the move did not close decisively upward.
🔹Bearish Almost Manipulation Candle
A bearish AMC forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, drops below the previous candle’s low, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing that sellers rejected higher prices but the candle did not close decisively lower.
🔹Almost Manipulation Candle Visuals
When the indicator detects an Almost Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Almost Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Almost Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section.
The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Almost Manipulation Candlesticks.
HIGHER TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS:
The Manipulation Model indicator automatically plots Fair Value Gaps from two user-selected higher timeframes.
🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?:
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all.
Bullish & Bearish FVGs:
🔹Why are Fair Value Gaps important?:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) show where price moved so quickly that one side of the market never got a chance to trade. They represent sudden shifts in what traders believe something is worth, where “fair value” changed. When a large candle drives straight through an area without overlap from the candles before and after it, it means buyers or sellers were so aggressive that the market skipped that price zone entirely.
These gaps matter because they mark the moment when confidence in price changes. If price rallies and never pulls back, it signals that traders accept the new higher prices as fair and are willing to keep buying there. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish gaps. They tell you where the market re-priced aggressively and where value was last accepted.
🔹How are Fair Value Gaps used?:
Higher Timeframe FVGs are used as a confluence for all setups within the Manipulation Model indicator. The indicator automatically detects and plots these imbalances from the chosen higher timeframe onto the current chart. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near or inside a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap, it adds context to the setup. They are not trade signals by themselves but act as a supporting element that contextualizes setups.
🔹When are Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps mitigated?
A Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gap is considered mitigated when the selected higher timeframe closes above the gap for a bearish FVG or below the gap for a bullish FVG.
🔹Higher Timeframe FVG Settings:
Timeframe 1 / Timeframe 2:
Select up to two higher timeframes to use for Fair Value Gaps. Disabling either one removes it visually from the chart but does not affect signal generation. However, the timeframes you select will be used for signal generation logic.
For example, if you select the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, then the 1-hour and 4-hour FVGs will be used for signal generation logic, which is explained in the signals section below.
Combine Zones:
When enabled, overlapping FVGs on the same higher timeframe are merged into a single zone. This keeps the chart clean and prevents duplicate zones from displaying.
Midline:
Adds a center line through each higher timeframe FVG.
Labels:
Displays a “ FVG” label beside each zone. This helps users see which timeframe the FVG is detected from.
Color Customization:
Each timeframe has separate color settings for bullish and bearish FVGs. Users can adjust these colors independently for both timeframes to fit their chart layout.
FVG Display Limit:
Controls how many higher timeframe FVGs are shown at once. Only the nearest X active gaps to current price will appear, helping maintain a clear view of relevant imbalances.
SESSIONS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes six customizable trading sessions: Asia, London, NY AM, NYSE, London Close, and NY PM. All session times and visuals are fully user-configurable. Each session has adjustable start and end times that can be set to match your preferred schedule. Users can also customize visuals for each session, including the color, opacity, and visibility of session zones.
Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and used within the indicator’s signal logic. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near a session high or low, it is recognized within the indicator’s signal detection.
Default times used for each session (in EST):
Asia: 20:00 - 00:00
London: 02:00 - 05:00
NY AM: 08:00 - 09:30
NYSE: 09:30 - 10:00
London Close: 10:00 - 11:00
NY PM: 11:00 - 14:00
🔹Session Settings:
Session Boxes:
Each session has a box that outlines its active time window. These boxes can be toggled on or off independently. When active, they visually separate each part of the trading day. Users can adjust the color and opacity of each session box.
Session Highs/Lows:
Every session can display its own high and low as horizontal lines. Users can customize the line style for session highs/lows, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted. The color of the lines will match the same color used for the session box.
Labels and Price Display:
Labels can be toggled on for all session highs and lows. Users can adjust label color, text size, and choose whether to show the price next to the label. Users can adjust the text size, choosing between tiny, small, normal, large, and huge.
Extend Levels:
When enabled, each session’s high and low levels can be extended forward by a set number of bars.
Session Titles:
Titles for each enabled session (e.g., “Asia,” “London,” “NY AM”) can be displayed directly on the chart.
Show Last:
The “Show Last” setting allows you to choose how many recent sessions of each type appear on the chart. For example, if you only have the Asia session enabled and have this setting set to 2, the recent two Asia sessions will be displayed.
🔹Sessions Used
Under the “Sessions Used” section in the settings, users can choose which sessions are active for signal generation. Only sessions enabled here will produce signals. For example, if you want setups to form only during the London session, turn off all other sessions in this section.
Disabling a session under the main Sessions section only hides its visuals (boxes, lines, or labels). It does not impact signal detection or logic. However, changing a session’s start and end time in either section will affect signals, since signals are tied to the exact session windows defined by the user. This distinction ensures you have full control over what’s displayed visually versus what contributes to active trade signal logic.
Please Note: Signals are only detected and plotted on your chart during sessions. Signals can not be detected outside of session time windows.
KEY LEVELS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes 10 key market levels that outline important structural price areas across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels include the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, Previous Week High/Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High/Low, and Midnight Open. The levels can be enabled or disabled and customized in color and line style. These levels are used for the indicator’s signal logic.
🔹Daily Open
The Daily Open marks where the current trading day began.
🔹Previous Day High/Low
The Previous Day High (PDH) marks the highest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where buyers pushed price to its highest point before the market closed. This value is automatically pulled from the daily chart and projected forward onto intraday timeframes.
The Previous Day Low (PDL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where selling pressure reached its lowest point before buyers stepped in. Like the PDH, this level is retrieved from the prior day’s data and extended into the current session.
🔹Weekly Open
The Weekly Open marks the first price of the current trading week.
🔹Previous Week High/Low
The Previous Week High (PWH) marks the highest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where buying pressure reached its peak before the weekly close. This value is automatically pulled from the weekly chart and extended forward into the current week for easy reference on intraday timeframes.
The Previous Week Low (PWL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where sellers pushed price to its lowest point before buyers regained control. Like the PWH, this level is sourced from the prior week’s data and projected onto the current week’s chart.
🔹Monthly Open
The Monthly Open marks the opening price of the current month.
🔹Previous Month High/Low
The Previous Month High (PMH) marks the highest price reached during the previous calendar month. It represents the point at which buyers achieved the strongest push before the monthly close. This level is automatically retrieved from the monthly chart and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes.
The Previous Month Low (PML) marks the lowest price reached during the previous calendar month. It shows where selling pressure was strongest before buyers stepped back in. Like the PMH, this value is pulled from the prior month’s data and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes.
🔹Midnight Open
The Midnight Open marks the first price of the trading day at 00:00 EST.
🔹Customization Options:
Users can fully customize the appearance of all key levels, including the following:
Daily Levels: Daily Open, PDH, and PDL
Weekly Levels: Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL
Monthly Levels: Monthly Open, PMH, and PML
Midnight Open
Color Settings:
Each group of levels (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) shares a single color for the Open, High, and Low lines. For example, the Daily Open, PDH, and PDL all use the same color. Colors can be changed for each group, but not for individual levels within the same group.
Line Style:
Users can select a global line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted, for all Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels. This style applies to all levels within those groups. For example, the Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL must all share the same line style.
The Midnight Open has its own independent line style setting and can use a different style from the other key levels.
Show Labels:
When enabled, text labels appear to the right of each key level. Users can adjust label color, but only one label color is applied to all levels for consistency.
🔹Key Levels Used:
Under the “Key Levels Used” section, users can choose which Key Levels and Session Levels (Session Highs/Lows) are factored into signal generation. Only levels enabled here are considered within the logic that confirms setups.
Users can choose between the following levels:
Daily Open
Previous Day High/Low
Weekly Open
Previous Week High/Low
Monthly Open
Previous Month High/Low
Asia Session High/Low
London Session High/Low
NY AM Session High/Low
NY Lunch Session High/Low
NY PM Session High/Low
London Close Session High/Low
Midnight Open
For example, if you only want to see setups that form using the Daily and Weekly levels, you should only enable the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, and Previous Week High/Low.
Disabling a level in the main “Key Levels” section only hides its visuals, while disabling it in “Key Levels Used” removes it entirely from the signal logic. Adjusting or removing any level in this section directly affects how setups are detected since the indicator references these levels when confirming Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups.
SIGNALS:
The Manipulation Model indicator automatically identifies Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups based on the interaction between Manipulation Candles (MCs), Almost Manipulation Candles (AMCs), and two main entry conditions: Key Levels and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Each signal type uses the structure of a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle as its foundation. When one of these candles forms and aligns with the entry conditions, the indicator automatically plots labels for an entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP). Every signal follows a mechanical set of rules and is marked in real time. Once confirmed on a candle close, the signal remains fixed on the chart and does not repaint.
🔹Higher Timeframe Bias Filter
Before a signal is generated, the indicator automatically determines directional bias using the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 1-hour timeframe.
If price is above the 50 EMA, only bullish setups are allowed.
If price is below the 50 EMA, only bearish setups are allowed.
🔹Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
For every setup, the stop loss is placed at the low of the Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle for bullish setups, and at the high for bearish setups. The take profit is automatically calculated at a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio relative to that distance.
Users can adjust both the SL Multiplier and TP Multiplier in the settings, under the “General Configuration” section, to extend or contract these levels. For example, increasing the TP Multiplier to 1.5 sets the take profit at 1.5x the distance between the entry and stop loss.
🔹Signal Input Settings:
Candle Type:
Choose which candle type is used to generate signals. Options include:
Manipulation Candle (MC) only
Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) only
Both (signals are generated from either candle type)
Entry Method:
Determines whether signals are generated based on:
Key Levels only
Fair Value Gaps only
Both (signals are generated from Key Levels AND Fair Value Gaps)
Setup Types:
You can enable or disable specific setup types. Only the selected setup types will appear on your chart:
Long Setups
Short Setups
Bulltrap Setups
Beartrap Setups
🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level:
A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on TP multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC touches the PDH during the London Session and closes above the level:
🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A short setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish MC touches the Daily Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level:
🔹Trap Confirmation Settings
Two settings control how bulltrap and beartrap setups are confirmed once a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms.
Candles Between Confirmation:
This setting defines the maximum number of candles allowed between the initial Manipulation Candle and the confirmation candle that closes back in the opposite direction.
For example, if this value is set to 2, the confirmation candle must appear within two bars of the Manipulation Candle for the setup to remain valid. If too many candles form in between, the bull/bear trap setup is ignored.
Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio:
This input measures the ratio of the confirmation candle’s wick size to its body size for bulltrap and beartrap setups. Lower values require a larger body compared to the wick, meaning the confirmation candle must close more decisively. If the ratio is above the threshold set by the user, the confirmation candle for a bulltrap/beartrap setup is considered valid.
For example, if the wick is 10 points and the body is 10 points, the ratio is 1.0 (10 / 10). If the wick is 10 points and the body is 20 points, the ratio is 0.5 (10 / 20).
🔹Beartrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bearish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back above the MC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The sweep or initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input
Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle occurs during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks, meeting the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it forms just two candles after the bearish MC which is within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The MC does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bullish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the MC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial key level touch from the MC can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:
The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input.
Once these conditions are met and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the NY AM Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it appears two candles after the bullish MC which is within the limit defined by the Candles Between Confirmation input.
🔹Long Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A long setup forms when a bullish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Almost Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish AMC touches the Daily Open during the NYSE Session and closes above the level.
🔹Short Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A short setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Almost Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level.
🔹Beartrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it.

Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle forms during the London Session, has a large body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears seven candles after the bearish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit (10 by default).
🔹Bulltrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level
A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish AMC touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level; it only needs to touch it. After this bullish AMC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the AMC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window.
To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met:

Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle
Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish AMC touches the NY Lunch Session Low before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears six candles after the bullish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit.
🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a bullish higher timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section. The candle must close during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle
Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, scaled by the TP Multiplier
In this example, a bullish MC taps into a bullish 1-hour FVG during the Asia Session.
🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap
A short setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a bearish higher timeframe FVG from one of the two selected higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section. The candle must also close during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the close of the bearish Manipulation Candle
Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle

🔹Signal Style Customization
The Manipulation Model indicator provides full visual customization for all signal elements, allowing users to easily adjust the appearance of entry, stop loss, and take profit labels.
Label Colors:
Users can customize the label color for Long Setups (Long and Beartrap) and Short Setups (Short and Bulltrap).
Long and Beartrap setups share the same label color.
Short and Bulltrap setups share the same label color.
Label text color can also be customized and applied globally to all signal labels.
Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Labels:
The SL and TP label colors can be customized independently.
Users can toggle SL Labels and TP Labels on or off. When turned off, the corresponding labels are hidden, but their levels remain active on the chart.
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit Lines:
Each of these lines can be individually toggled on or off.
Entry Line: Marks the entry price level.
Stop Loss Line: Displays the SL level derived from each setup’s logic.
Take Profit Line: Displays the TP level calculated using the Take Profit Multiplier setting.
Users can also toggle the labels for each line on or off and adjust the color for each line type independently.
WIN RATE DASHBOARD:
The Win Rate Dashboard gives traders a quick way to see the recent performance of their enabled setups. It automatically calculates and displays win rates for each signal type turned on under the “General Configuration” section, based on the sessions and key levels currently active in the settings.
The dashboard updates in real time, showing both the win rate percentage and total trade count for all enabled signal types combined. It looks back at a set number of bars to calculate results, providing a simple performance snapshot directly on your chart.
How It Works:
When a signal triggers, the indicator tracks whether price first reaches the Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) level.
A winning trade is recorded when the take profit is hit before the stop loss.
A losing trade is recorded when the stop loss is hit before the take profit.
The win rate = (Winning Trades / Total Trades) x 100
🔹Dashboard Customization:
Users can adjust the dashboard’s appearance with the following settings:
Background Color
Frame Color
Border Color
Text Color
You can also toggle the dashboard on or off from the settings menu. It appears in the top-right corner of the chart by default and its position cannot be changed.
🔹Disclaimer:
The Win Rate Dashboard provides historical performance data based on the signals and conditions you’ve enabled. These results are calculated from past bars and are not indicative of future performance or profitability.
ALERTS:
The Manipulation Model indicator includes full alert functionality powered by AnyAlert(), allowing users to receive notifications for all major setups and level breaks in real time.
Users can choose exactly which alerts they want to receive under the “Alerts” section of the settings. Once your preferred alerts are toggled on, you can create a TradingView alert using the AnyAlert() condition. This will automatically trigger alerts for all selected events as they occur on your chart.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes, which can result in the following restriction:
Computation Error:
The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again.
UNIQUENESS:
The Manipulation Model is unique because every setup type is fully rule-based and tied to strict structural logic. Traders can control exactly how signals form by selecting which candle types are used, which key levels and sessions are active, and whether entries trigger from Key Levels, Fair Value Gaps, or both. All setups use objective rules for confirmation, wick-to-body ratio, and higher timeframe bias. The indicator also provides full customization for visuals, alerts, and trade parameters like TP and SL multipliers. A built-in Win Rate Dashboard tracks real-time performance for all enabled setup types based on the user’s active sessions and signal filters. Together, these features make it a complete, mechanical implementation of the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model and it works across all asset classes including stocks, crypto, forex, and futures.
Relative Performance Areas [LuxAlgo]The Relative Performance Areas tool enables traders to analyze the relative performance of any asset against a user-selected benchmark directly on the chart, session by session.
The tool features three display modes for rescaled benchmark prices, as well as a statistics panel providing relevant information about overperforming and underperforming streaks.
🔶 USAGE
Usage is straightforward. Each session is highlighted with an area displaying the asset price range. By default, a green background is displayed when the asset outperforms the benchmark for the session. A red background is displayed if the asset underperforms the benchmark.
The benchmark is displayed as a green or red line. An extended price area is displayed when the benchmark exceeds the asset price and is set to SPX by default, but traders can choose any ticker from the settings panel.
Using benchmarks to compare performance is a common practice in trading and investing. Using indexes such as the S&P 500 (SPX) or the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) to measure our portfolio's performance provides a clear indication of whether our returns are above or below the broad market.
As the previous chart shows, if we have a long position in the NASDAQ 100 and buy an ETF like QQQ, we can clearly see how this position performs against BTSUSD and GOLD in each session.
Over the last 15 sessions, the NASDAQ 100 outperformed the BTSUSD in eight sessions and the GOLD in six sessions. Conversely, it underperformed the BTCUSD in seven sessions and the GOLD in nine sessions.
🔹 Display Mode
The display mode options in the Settings panel determine how benchmark performance is calculated. There are three display modes for the benchmark:
Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark from the start of the session.
Rescaled Returns: Uses the benchmark net returns multiplied by the ratio of the benchmark net returns standard deviation to the asset net returns standard deviation.
Standardized Returns: Uses the z-score of the benchmark returns multiplied by the standard deviation of the asset returns.
Comparing net returns between an asset and a benchmark provides traders with a broad view of relative performance and is straightforward.
When traders want a better comparison, they can use rescaled returns. This option scales the benchmark performance using the asset's volatility, providing a fairer comparison.
Standardized returns are the most sophisticated approach. They calculate the z-score of the benchmark returns to determine how many standard deviations they are from the mean. Then, they scale that number using the asset volatility, which is measured by the asset returns standard deviation.
As the chart above shows, different display modes produce different results. All of these methods are useful for making comparisons and accounting for different factors.
🔹 Dashboard
The statistics dashboard is a great addition that allows traders to gain a deep understanding of the relationship between assets and benchmarks.
First, we have raw data on overperforming and underperforming sessions. This shows how many sessions the asset performance at the end of the session was above or below the benchmark.
Next, we have the streaks statistics. We define a streak as two or more consecutive sessions where the asset overperformed or underperformed the benchmark.
Here, we have the number of winning and losing streaks (winning means overperforming and losing means underperforming), the median duration of each streak in sessions, the mode (the number of sessions that occurs most frequently), and the percentages of streaks with durations equal to or greater than three, four, five, and six sessions.
As the image shows, these statistics are useful for traders to better understand the relative behavior of different assets.
🔶 SETTINGS
Benchmark: Benchmark for comparison
Display Mode: Choose how to display the benchmark; Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark.

Trading Sessions [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Trading Sessions indicator tracks and displays the four major global trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It provides session-based background highlighting, real-time price change tracking from session open, and a data table with session status. The script works across all markets (forex, equities, commodities, crypto) and helps traders identify when specific geographic markets are active, which directly correlates with changes in liquidity and volatility patterns. Default session times are set to major financial center hours in UTC but are fully adjustable to match your trading methodology.
🟢 Key Features
→ Session Background Color Coding
Each trading session gets a distinct background color on your chart:
1. Sydney Session - Default orange, 22:00-07:00 UTC
2. Tokyo Session - Default red, 00:00-09:00 UTC
3. London Session - Default green, 08:00-16:00 UTC
4. New York Session - Default blue, 13:00-22:00 UTC
When sessions overlap, the color priority is New York > London > Tokyo > Sydney. This means if London and New York are both active, the background shows New York's color. The priority matches typical liquidity and volatility patterns where later sessions generally show higher volume.
→ Color Customization
All session colors are configurable in the Color Settings panel:
1. Click any session color input to open the color picker
2. Select your preferred color for that session
3. Use the "Background Transparency" slider (0-100) to adjust opacity. Lower values = more visible, higher values = more subtle
4. Enable "Color Price Bars" to color candlesticks themselves according to the active session instead of just the background
The Color column in the info table shows a block (█) in each session's assigned color, matching what you see on the chart background.
→ Information Table Breakdown
→ Timeframe Warning
If you're viewing a timeframe of 12 hours or higher, a red warning label appears center-screen. Session boundaries don't render accurately on high timeframes because the time() function in Pine Script can't detect intra-bar session changes when each bar spans multiple sessions. The warning tells you to switch to sub-12H timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, etc.) for proper session detection. You can disable this warning in Color Settings if needed, but session highlighting can be unreliable on 12H+ charts regardless.
→ Time Range Configuration
Every session's time range is editable in Session Settings:
1. Click the time input field next to each session
2. Enter time as HHMM-HHMM in 24-hour format
3. All times are interpreted as UTC
4. Modify these to account for daylight saving shifts or to define custom session periods based on your backtested optimal trading windows
For example, if your strategy performs best during London/NY overlap specifically, you could set London to 08:00-17:00 and New York to 13:00-22:00 to ensure you see the full overlap highlighted.
→ Weekdays Filter
The "Weekdays Only (Mon-Fri)" toggle controls whether sessions display on weekends:
Enabled: Sessions only show Monday-Friday and hide on Saturday-Sunday. Use this for markets that close on weekends (most equities, forex).
Disabled: Sessions display 24/7 including weekends. Use this for markets that trade continuously (crypto).
→ Table Display Options
The info table has several configuration options in Table Settings:
Visibility: Toggle "Show Info Table" on/off to display or hide the entire table.
Position: Nine position options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) let you place the table wherever it doesn't block your price action or other indicators.
Text Size: Four size options (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) to match your screen resolution and visual preferences.
→ Color Schemes:
Mono: Black background, gray header, white text
Light: White background, light gray header, black text
Blue: Dark blue background, medium blue header, white text
Custom: Manual selection of all five color components (table background, header background, header text, data text, borders)
→ Alert Functionality
The indicator includes ten alert conditions you can access via TradingView's alert system:
Session Opens:
1. Sydney Session Started
2. Tokyo Session Started
3. London Session Started
4. New York Session Started
5. Any Session Started
Session Closes:
6. Sydney Session Ended
7. Tokyo Session Ended
8. London Session Ended
9. New York Session Ended
10. Any Session Ended
These alerts fire when sessions transition based on your configured time ranges, letting you automate monitoring of session changes without watching the chart continuously. Useful for strategies that trade specific session opens/closes or need to adjust position sizing when volatility regime shifts between sessions.
