ICT Killzones by EonMetrics

WHAT IT DOES

This indicator draws colored boxes on your chart during the hours when big institutional traders are historically most active — these time windows are called "killzones." Each box tracks the highest and lowest price reached while that session is open. When the session ends, the box "seals" and its high and low turn into lines that stretch forward — these are levels price is likely to react to later, so you can see them long after the session is over.



It also draws simple opening-price and high/low lines for the Day, Week and Month, plus the previous day/week/month's numbers. These are shown in the same script as the killzones because they answer the same question at two different zoom levels: "where is the market's attention right now" — killzones tell you that at the hour-by-hour level, and Day/Week/Month tell you that at the bigger-picture level. Traders normally watch both together, which is why they're combined here instead of split into two separate tools.



HOW TO ACTUALLY USE IT (STEP BY STEP)

1. Watch the Asian session box first. It's usually a quiet, narrow range — this range often becomes the "bait" that later sessions test.
2. When London or New York opens, watch for a fast move that quickly reverses (price pokes above/below the recent range and snaps back). This fake-out is common at session opens — the real move often goes the opposite way.
3. Use the high/low lines left behind by earlier sessions as your targets. If price is moving up, the next line above it (an earlier session's high, or the day/week open) is a natural place price may reach and react.
4. Check the Previous Day Close and Week Open lines for context — is today trading above or below yesterday's close? Above or below this week's open? That tells you the bigger picture bias.
5. Turn on "Show Yesterday" if you want to compare today's session ranges against yesterday's.

EVERY SETTING EXPLAINED

Killzones group
- Show Asian / London Open / NY Pre-Market / NY Open / London Close / NY Lunch / NY PM — turns each individual session box on or off. All times are New York time and automatically adjust for Daylight Saving.
- Show Yesterday — also draws all the above boxes for the previous trading day.

Custom Killzone group
- Show Custom KZ — turns on an extra session box that you define yourself (for a market's own open, a prop-firm trading window, or any other hours you want tracked).
- Custom Session — the start-end time of your custom window (24-hour format). If the end time is earlier than the start time, it automatically understands the session crosses midnight.
- Session Timezone — which timezone your custom time window is read in. "Exchange" uses the timezone of whatever symbol you have open.
- Label Name — the name shown on your custom box and its high/low lines.
- Custom Color — the color of your custom box and lines.



Colors group
- One color picker per killzone — sets the fill color of that session's box.

Style group
- Show Box Label — shows the session's name written inside its box while it's still active.
- Show Pivots (H/L) — after a session ends, draws its high and low as lines going forward. Turn this off if you only want the boxes, no forward lines.
- Show Midpoint (50%) — also draws a line at the exact halfway point of each finished session's range.
- Pivot Line Width — how thick the high/low lines are.
- Pivot Style — solid, dashed, or dotted line for the high/low lines.
- Midpoint Style — solid, dashed, or dotted line for the halfway line.
- Show Pivot Labels — shows small text tags (like "London H") at the end of each line.
- After Mitigation — choose what happens once price actually breaks through a level: "Stop at mitigation" freezes the line exactly where it was broken (so you keep a record of where it happened), or "Delete on mitigation" removes it completely for a cleaner chart.
- Alert Broken Pivots — sends you an alert whenever price breaks through one of these levels.

Day / Week / Month group
- Day Open / High-Low, with its own color — today's opening price, and optionally today's high/low, updating live.
- Prev Day Open / Close / High-Low, with its own color — yesterday's numbers, useful as reference points for today.
- The same three lines (Open, High/Low, and Previous versions of each) are repeated for Week and Month.
- Line Style / Line Width — applies to all of the Day/Week/Month lines at once.
- Show Labels — turns the text tags for these lines on or off.
