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.

Sessions KillZones Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
"The Forex Trading Sessions" highlight the active periods across different markets where significant trading volume and influence on the forex market are evident. The primary trading sessions globally include the "Asian Session," "London Session," and "New York Session."
A "Kill Zone" refers to a segment within a session characterized by high trading volume and notably sharper price movements. Consequently, there's a higher probability of encountering price action setups within these zones. Traders capitalize on this phenomenon in pursuit of more successful trading outcomes.

ORB Heikin Ashi SPY 5min Correlation StrategyOverview:
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.
Period Value ZonesPeriod Value Zones is designed to help traders understand where current value is being found by splitting the day into 3 key periods based on common reversal times recognized for intraday trading.
By splitting the day into 3 periods, we can more efficiently determine where short-term value lies by using only the data we consider relevant during these periods of time.
> Overview
This indicator is recommended for low timeframe trading during the New York RTH Session.
By only trading within this session, we can ensure that volume and volatility remain fairly consistent.
Within each Period, you will find on the chart:
Value Area Points from Previous period (Value High(VAH)/Value Low(VAL)/Point of Control(POC))
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Cloud, based on High and Low values during the period.
Value Zone based Potential Reversal Zones.
Additional Displays:
Potential Reversal Detection Signals with Invalidation Levels
Forward Plotted Key Market times.
> Components
• Value Area Points
VAH/VAL/POC are important volume profile points which display where the market has previously held value.
We use these specific levels as support and resistance to confirm direction by monitoring interactions between price and these important levels.
The VAH and VAL lines change colors based on price's interaction with them to confirm whether that level should be regarded as support or resistance.
• VWAP Cloud
VWAP is a common metric used to determine the strength of a trend, and provides a point to look for re-bid & re-offer.
When price breaks out of our Fixed Value zone, VWAP helps us determine further direction.
Also included is VWAP deviation bands, for traders who would prefer to view the standard deviation away from this cloud as well.
• Value Reversal Zones
These Zones are calculated based on extensions of the Period Value Zone.
While in a balanced market, these zones have been shown to provide potential reversal opportunities.
• Potential Reversal Signals
These signals are based on an advanced method for confirming a higher-low or lower-high to reasonably create a signal that is not very laggy but also rooted in sound logic.
While helpful, These are NOT buy or sell signals, and you should always use further analysis to decide the next steps to take.
When a signal appears, an associated invalidation level is also displayed, if this level is crossed the associated signal is no longer considered relevant.
• Key Market Times
These are important times within the day that normally produce volatility caused by daily market catalysts.
Each key time is forward plotted 1 hour before it occurs to provide a clear heads up for potential opportunity.
Opening Fuel: Known for having an increase in Volume after the formation of the 15min Opening Range.
1st Reversal: Common Area for seeing initial large positioning effecting the market, often causing reversals.
Initial Balance Close: End of the first hour, a common positioning tool for futures traders.
2nd Reversal: Positioning is typically reactionary to IB Close, alongside Euro Traders Exiting Positions.
Euro Close: Close of Europe Session, a common positioning tool for futures traders.
Lunch: Usually Low Volume, traders are often out to lunch.
Lunch End: Volume tends to re-enter, as traders come back from lunch.
1st Reversal: New Hour, common area to see large position re-enter the market.
Bonds Close: Bonds markets close, Equities reacting to close of the bond market.
1st MOC: Initial Market on Close orders are places, market reaction is normally expected off of MOC positioning.
MOC Close: As MOC orders are reported, volatility is likely found within the market.
> Methodology
This indicator can be used with the same principles as trading balanced volume profiles.
Rule 1: Unless the price breaks and holds Value High or Value Low, we should expect buyers and sellers to maintain the current balance.
Rule 2: If we break and push away from the Period Value High, we should treat that level as supportive on retest unless we look back below and sellers defend on retest.
Rule 3: If we break and push away from the Period Value Low, we should treat that level as resistance on retest unless we look back above and buyers defend on retest.
Rule 4: If we recover Value Low, and it becomes supportive, we look for our Period POC and Period Value High as our targets above.
Rule 5: If we fail to hold Period Value High, and it becomes resistance, we look for our Period POC and Period Value Low as targets below.
Balance in the context of this indicator is considered as the area between Period Value High and Period Value Low
Acceptance outside of balance in the context of this indicator is considered as Period Value Low or High, becoming supportive or resistance.
> Examples
Theoretical Example:
In the bullish example below, price holds VWAP and makes POC supportive, showing interest from buyers pushing to Value High.
Real-World Example:
Below is an example of the same setup as the theoretical example, taking place on a real futures chart.
By utilizing these rules, we can look for opportunities at these levels and have a plan for how we should be interacting with them.
This will help us determine likely targets and risk-off levels that are based on volume and current "value" from participants.
Sessions Lite [TradingFinder] New York, London, Asia, NYSE Forex🔵 Introduction
A trading session is one of the basic concepts in the financial market that refers to specific time periods. In fact, a session means hours during the day and night, during which traders in a certain part of the world conduct their transactions.
Although the "Forex" and "CFDs" market is open 24 hours a day and it is possible to trade in it, but in some hours the activity in this market decreases so much that many traders prefer not to trade and only watch the market. On the other hand, there are specific times when the market is very busy and dynamic, and many traders tend to trade during these hours of the day and night.
Trading sessions are usually divided into three main categories, which are "Asian", "European" and "North American" sessions. These trading sessions are also called the "Tokyo", "London" and "New York" sessions, respectively. But they also categorized these sessions in more detailed ways such as "Sydney session", "Shanghai session" or "NYSE session".
🔵 Tokyo trading session (Asian session)
After the weekend that happens on Saturday and Sunday, the Forex market starts with the Asian session. In this continent, most of the transactions are done in the Tokyo session, and for this reason, it is usually called the Asian session or the Tokyo session. However, other countries such as Australia, China and Singapore also do a lot of trading in this session.
The Tokyo session has a lower volume of transactions compared to the London and New York sessions, and therefore the liquidity is lower. In this session, most of the Forex currency pairs move in a price range. For this reason, different people use the ups and downs with the trading strategy in the range and get profit.
The low liquidity of the Tokyo session means that trading spreads are also higher during these hours. Besides, most of the transactions of this session are done in the early hours and at the same time as the planned news release.
In the Tokyo or Asia session, the best currency pairs to trade are the "Japanese yen", the "Australian dollar", and the "New Zealand dollar".
"Nikkei" index is also a good option for trading. If you trade in the Tokyo session, you should also be aware of the release of economic news and data from Australian, New Zealand and Japanese financial institutions.
🔵 London trading session (European session)
After the Asian session, it is time for the European session. In this period of time, transactions are very large and many European markets are involved. However, the European session is usually known as the London session.
Because of its specific time zone, London is not only known as the Forex trading center in Europe, but it is also known as the Forex trading center in the world. The London session overlaps with two other major trading sessions in the world, Asia and America. This means that most of the Forex transactions are done in this session. According to the latest statistics, 32% of Forex transactions are related to the London session, which shows that about a third of the activity performed in Forex takes place during this period.
This will increase the volume of Forex transactions and increase liquidity. An event that causes the spread of transactions to decrease. Of course, high liquidity also leads to greater volatility, which is desirable for many traders.
In the European session, the pound and euro currencies and the "DAX", "FTSE100", and "CAC40" indices are known as the best tradable assets. Also, traders of this session should pay attention to the news and data published by the "European Central Bank" and the "Bank of England". The news of countries like Germany, France and Italy are also very important.
🔵 American trading session (New York session)
When the New York session begins, several hours have passed since the end of the Tokyo session, but the European session is in the middle. In this session, they usually affect the financial activities carried out in America, but they also affect other countries such as Canada, Mexico and several South American countries.
The "US dollar" and stock indices such as "S&P", "Dow Jones" and "Nasdaq" are the most important assets that are traded in this session.
The early hours of the American session have a lot of liquidity and volatility due to the overlap with the European session, but with the end of the European session, the activity in the American session also decreases.
You can trade all major Forex currency pairs in the New York trading session. In this session, the "Federal Reserve", as the most important central bank in the world, is the institution that you should pay attention to its news and data.
The trading session indicator is an analytical tool in the financial markets that is used to display and analyze specific trading periods during a day. These indicators are generally useful for determining support and resistance levels during any trading session and for detecting different trading patterns.
For example, usually these indicators display the open and close price levels, the highest and lowest prices during a trading session. Also, you may notice various price patterns such as price channels, price phase phases and market trend changes during different trading sessions using these indicators.
🔵 cause of construction
In particular, the session light indicator version is designed and built for those traders who use many different tools on their chart at the same time. These traders can include "Volume Traders", "ICT traders", "Day Traders" and... These individuals can use "Session Lite" without disturbing the display of their other trading tools such as "Order Blocks", "Liquidity", "Zigzag", "FVG" etc.
But in general, there are several reasons for making tools like trading session indicators in financial markets, some of which include the following :
1. Analysis of specific time frames : Some traders and investors like to consider specific time frames for price analysis and review. For example, analyzing price changes during each trading session can help analyze trading patterns and identify trading opportunities.
2. Recognize different price patterns : Different price patterns may be observed during trading sessions. Trading session indicators can help to make better trading decisions by analyzing these patterns and their strengths and weaknesses.
3. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : These tools may help to identify support and resistance levels during any trading session which can be helpful in deciding whether to enter or exit the market.
🔵 How to use
The Session Lite indicator displays 8 sessions by default. Asia session, Sydney session, Tokyo session, Shanghai session, Europe session, London session, New York session and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session are the sessions that are displayed.
You can activate or deactivate the display of each session by using the tick button next to the name of each session.
Two gray vertical dashes are also displayed by default, which indicate the beginning of the European session and the New York session. This feature is available for all sessions, but it is enabled by default only for these two sessions, and you can activate it for the rest of the session. You can enable or disable the display of this line by using the Start Session tick key.
Likewise, the information table is displayed by default, which includes the open or closed information of each session and the start and end times of each session. These timings are based on the UTC time zone.
Accordingly, the schedule of trading sessions is as follows :
Asia session from 23:00 to 06:00
Sydney session from 23:00 to 05:00
Tokyo session from 00:00 to 00:06
Shanghai session from 01:30 to 06:57
European session from 07:00 to 16:30
London session from 08:00 to 16:30
New York session from 13:00 to 22:00
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session from 14:30 to T 22:00
Important note : the beginning of the European session coincides with the opening of the Frankfurt market.
🔵 Settings
• In the settings section, there are customization capabilities according to the type of use of each user. The settings related to showing or not showing the box of each session, the start indicator of each session, setting the start and end time of the session and choosing the desired color to display each session are among the things that can be set from this section.
• At the end of the settings, you will see the "Info Table" option; By disabling this option, the "sessions" clock table displayed on the upper right side will be disabled.
Forex Kill Zones - SMC IndicatorsWhat are Kill Zones?
Kill Zones are specific Time Windows of opportunity during the Session that have the potential for the highest volatility and where looking for trading opportunities is ideal.
The Forex Kill Zone Indicator is specifically designed for the Forex Market. What differentiates this script from other Kill Zones scripts is that this script is based on NY Midnight as the basis for the start of the day.
This is not the usual below-average Kill Zone indicator because this indicator does not only show the 3 main Kill Zones or Sessions, but it also offers extra Kill Zones that are called "Asian Range (AR)", "Central Bank Dealing Range (CBDR)", and "FLOUT".
Another key differentiator of this indicator's functionality is that it shows the highs and lows of each Kill zone allowing SMC traders to monitor Time-Based Liquidity above the highs and lows of each trading session.
Another added benefit of this indicator is the Standard Deviations features for the AR, CBDR, and FLOUT that we added. The Standard Deviations act as key levels where there is a high probability of price reacting when in confluence with 1H or higher key levels (PD Arrays). The Standard Deviations are not pivot levels but are ranges above and below the Kill Zones that rely on TIME and PRICE in their calculations.
Finally, we have also incorporated a Notification function to remind the trader of the start of the trading Kill Zones to not miss out on potential trade opportunities.
Key Functionalities
1) Universal Time Reference:
Every day starts at 00:00 NY Midnight, irrespective of the trader's local time, Instead of the Standard GMT Midnight. This allows all Kill Zones to be in line with the New York start of the day at Midnight, as thought by ICT.
Weekend Highlighter
This feature highlights time from Sunday Market Open at 5 PM NY Time to 00:00 NY Midnight.
It's useful for identifying the non-trading or the low volatility periods when trading should be avoided.
Features Breakdown
Lookback Period
Defaulted to 60 trading days, aligning with “IPDA Data Ranges”, which is ideal for backtesting.
Adjustable for trading, and it's recommended to keep it at 20 trading days to focus on most recent data only.
24-hour Daily Intervals
The 24-hour intervals are not the same as the usual daily candle. Instead, the start of each trading day is anchored to the 00:00 NY Midnight.
Highlights "Days of the Week" labels, "Weekend" Trading Time, and the daily high-low ranges based on the start of trading day mark being at 00:00 NY Midnight.
London Kill Zone (Green)
Starts from 01:00 NY Time to 05:00 NY Time.
London closes at 12:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the London Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the London Kill Zone Range.
Marks the London Close Session to mark the end of London End of the trading day, where volatility drops.
Highlights the time when there is the highest volatility during the London Session Kill Zone.
New York Kill Zone (Blue)
Starts from 07:00 NY time to 10:00 NY Time.
Marks The CME Open at 08:30 (the opening of the Bond Market).
Highlight the high and low of the New York Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the NY Kill Zone Range.
Highlights the time when there is the highest volatility during the New York Session.
The Central Bank Dealing Range or "CBDR" (Orange)
Starts From 14:00 NY Time to 20:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the CBDR Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the CBDR Kill Zone Range.
Also, there is an added ability to add the CBDR Standard Deviations above and below the CBDR.
Can also extend the CBDR Standard Deviations key levels until the end of the next day's London Kill Zone.
What are the CBDR Standard Deviations?
The Standard Deviations are extensions of the CBDR above and below the CBDR original range. It takes the high and low of the range and adds the range above and below the original range by x times.
The CCBDR Standard Deviations are NOT pivot levels. They are used as points of reference where we could expect the price to react when in confluence with higher timeframe reference points.
The idea behind them is that if the price is Bearish, the price could rally to +1 CBDR Standard Deviation below dropping lower. As shown in the image below on Thursday, the two vertical lines before the start of Thursday mark the CBDR Kill Zone, then the price rallied to +1 CBDR SDv and then dropped.
Asian Range "AR" Kill Zone
Starts from 20:00 NY Time to 00:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the AR Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the AR Kill Zone Range.
Also, there is an added ability to add the AR Standard Deviations above and below the AR.
This KillZone should be primarily used when CBDR exceeds 40 pips.
Similar to the CBDR, the AR Standard Deviations also can be used as points of reference where we could expect the price to react when in confluence with higher timeframe reference points.
The AR Standard Deviations can also be extended until the end of the next day's London Kill Zone.
FLOUT Range
It Combines AR and CBDR, spanning from 14:00 NY Time to 00:00 NY Time.
The FLOUT should only be used when both AR and CBDR have small ranges of less than 10 pips combined.
Highlight the high and low of the FLOUT Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the FLOUT Kill Zone Range.
The FLOUT Standard Deviations also can be used as points of reference where we could expect the price to react when in confluence with higher timeframe reference points.
The Flout Standard Deviations can be extended until the end of the next day London Kill Zone.
Bonus Features
Daily & Weekly Open Price Levels
The Open Price levels draw a horizontal line from the start of the trading day at 00:00 NY midnight, and it extends it towards the end of the trading day.
This is useful for understanding where the price is relative to the daily candle.
When Bullish, the trader should look for setups at or below the daily or weekly open price.
When Bearish, the trader should look for setups at or above the daily or weekly open price.
Whether to choose the Daily or Weekly open price depends on the trader's trading style. If the trader is day trading or scaling, then it's more appropriate to choose the Daily Open Price.
However, Day Traders can also use the Weekly candle to align with the Weekly Candle's expected range direction.
On the other hand, if the trader is a Swing Trader and wants to capitalise on the weekly candle's trend, then it's more appropriate to choose the Weekly Open Price.
However, Swing Traders can also use the Daily Open Price when looking to take a trade to time better entries with a high risk-to-reward ratio.
Notifications
The trader can also receive alerts as a reminder at the start of the desired session to not miss out on the start of the trading session.
Sessions [TradingFinder] New York, London, Tokyo & Sydney ForexTiming is one of the influential factors in a trader's position. This indicator categorizes transactions into three sessions (Asia, Europe, and America). Five significant trading cities (New York, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Sydney) are selectable.
I recommend using the tool on a 5-minute time frame, but it is usable on all time frames.
Settings:
• Trading sessions: Display or hide each trading session as needed.
• Color: Change the color of each box.
• Session time intervals: The default is based on the main working hours for each time interval and can be adjusted.
• Information table: Delete or display additional information table.
Information Table:
• Trading sessions
• Opening and closing times of each trading session
How to Use:
Initiating trading sessions involves entering with increased liquidity, and the market usually experiences significant movements. Many trading strategies are based on "time" and "session openings." This tool empowers traders to focus intensely on each time interval.
These trading sessions are crucial for all Forex, stock, and index traders:
The total price ceiling and floor in the Asia session (Tokyo and Sydney) are crucial for traders in the European session.
The European session starts with Frankfurt, and an hour later, London begins, collectively forming the European session.
The dashboard provides additional information, displaying hours based on UTC.
Customization options are considered in all sections so that everyone can apply their own settings.
Important: Default times are the most accurate for each region, and in most indicators, this time is not correctly selected. Therefore, the level of influence and time intervals are specified at the beginning of each session. If you are using another indicator, match its default time to the announced time and share the results with me in the comments.
Main Market Opener Breakout [RH]Based on my observations while analyzing the crypto and forex charts, particularly BTCUSDT and EURUSD, I have noticed that the prices exhibit significant movements during most stock market sessions, particularly during New York main market session.
With the aim of capturing these moves, I embarked on extensive research. Through this research, I discovered that by considering the very first "15m" or "30m" candle of the main market trading session and marking that first candle's high and low points, we can create potential trigger points.
A break above the high point indicates a bullish signal, while a break below the low point suggests a bearish signal. To further refine our analysis and filter out some noise, we can incorporate the Average True Range (ATR) value of that candle.
Candle time is very important here. We will mark the candle when the actual trading begins in New York stock exchange. The trading hours for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) typically begin at 9:30 AM and end at 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), Monday through Friday. This is known as the "NYSE Regular Trading Session." However, it's important to note that there are also pre-market and after-hours trading sessions that occur outside of these core hours. We will not consider these pre and after-hours.
Example:
First break-above and break-below is marked automatically and alerts are also available for first breaks.
Example:
I have also added the option to add the, London Stock Exchange Main Market and Tokyo Stock Exchange Regular Trading Session. You can add those sessions also and test with different symbols.
Stocks symbols from different stock exchanges just mark the very first candle of the day(main market trading session).
Alerts are available.
New York, London and custom trading sessionsHi Traders
The script :
The Time sessions script plots the trading sessions of both New York and London markets (background fills), In addition to the above the script also plots a user defined trading session period (vertical lines). All plots may be toggled true or false inorder to ensure you can focus on the respective market / markets / custom session.
Market sessions are useful for technical or quantitative analysis, as the majority of trading activity and net daily volume occurs in these zones, in fact the U.S./London market overlap tends to have the greatest volume accumulation across that range of time / bars than that range at any other time within the daily session. For FX traders it may also be important to take into account for many currency pairs the average exchange rate pip movement is greatest within these zones.
The custom session, is intended to be used for traders who trade only within specific intervals within the market session or day for 24/7 traded asset classes
Additional notes :
Not as of now, I have only added three optional trading sessions. If you would like to change the sessions, copy the scripts code and change the "ctm_session" default time range value, insuring the second time value is 1 min > than the first.
As always i Hope this is a useful script, and I will be updating this script in the near future.
Diddly - Charts (Asian, London & New York Session + Weekdays)Overview:
Diddly Charts is for providing intraday context to where we are in the market. It does this through a series of ranges displayed throughout the day, typically broken down into the Asian, London, and New York sessions.
This indicator also highlights key market structures like monthly, weekly, and previous day's highs and lows. Lines are provided for weekday and weekend separators, with the days of the week at the bottom of the chart, making it extremely useful for traders when identifying weekly cycles.
Usage:
All aspects of this indicator are changeable within the settings, allowing you to utilise the elements that are most important to your trading strategy.
The default layout is extremely useful for currency pairs, where traders use the London and New York boxes as windows of when to engage with the market. The times of these trading sessions can be changed to suit the trading periods that you want to trade.
Adhering to trading windows can help improve discipline to ensure that you are only taking entries within the time periods that match your trading strategy.
Some traders prefer a cleaner interface and don't want any indicator to detract from the price action they are reading, this can be achieved through changing the colour and their transparency in settings. In this example, you will see different labels used to annotate key structures, these can be changed to something that is relevant to your strategy in the settings.
It can also be used for trading Stocks where sessions are broken down into pre-market, market hours and post-market. This can be helpful to see those stocks that breakout of pre-market session highs and lows and also provide trading windows to keep traders out of trades that do not comply with their trading strategy.
Using higher time frames like a 4 hour chart or even the 1 hour chart, the intraday sessions are hidden away so traders can get a broader perspective without the clutter when zooming out. Although there are options to turn it on if you would prefer.
Here on a zoomed out 1 hour chart we have the option to only display the weekly line separator, which can help get an overview of weekly cycles.
Helpful Information
The main setting that you may want to change is at the top of the indicator settings, which is asking "what asset type" is the symbol being looked at. The indicator needs to know how to display the session range information. For example for currencies, the range size will be displayed in pips. For stocks or Futures it would display the financial amount. Beyond the visual display of information, this setting has no other impact on the indicator behaviour. The default setting is "Currencies".
We often get asked what the labels that appear on the chart mean. These can all be changed to your requirements, but by default what you will see when you apply the indicator to the chart is:
Under the Asian Range appears a couple of labels.
A = x : This is the range size of the session in pips for forex or amount for other assets, from the lowest to the highest price traded during that window.
ADR = y : This is the Average Daily Range over the last 21 days for this ticker
Under the London and New York session you will see a L = x or NY = y . This is the range size of each session in pips for forex or amount for other assets.
Structure Labels
YH = Yesterday's High
YL = Yesterday's Low
WH = Current Week's High
WL = Current Week's Low
MH = Current Month's High
ML = Current Month's Low

PT Levels SessionsVersion 1.0 - PT Levels offers visual for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly Yearly range.
Some sauces:
PT Range - Daily open, Monday High, Monday Low, Weekly Open
Weekend range, Wednesday range, CME Open, CME Close, NY Range, London Range & Asia Range
Strategy:
Price tends to gravitate between the Daily level when playing intraday scalps. If playing the weekly, you want to be above the weekly pivot to punt longs & under the weekly level to punt shorts. More likely than not, when the price hits a monthly or yearly level, we get a noticeable reaction off it.
These levels will give you an idea of where the price can react if reached. Consider them pivotal areas. We included a toggle that will help you go between the candle's High/Low to the candle's Open/Close. Both features are unique when scalping & swinging. The Level Sessions will paint a beautiful visual for your day-to-day trading & the Open/Close will help you determine where price maxed opened & closed for that specified timeframe.
If analyzing the crypto markets - Try to pay attention to price action on the weekend. We included a weekend range to offer a visual of the HIGH/LOW during the weekend when the volume is low & price is easier swayed.

Futures Exchange Sessions 2.0Description
Successor to Futures Exchange Sessions indicator. Completely rebuilt code from the ground up. Every feature has been redesigned and refactored to be the most beneficial while allowing for complete configuration by the user.
This indicator displays Futures Sessions as live boxes that expand dynamically as price moves over the time interval. These boxes make liquidity levels extremely easy to spot and visualize. It helps the user identify market structure and develop their own bias of price action. Everything about the Session boxes can be configured. Box color, border color, border style, and border width are all individually controllable. Each Future Session can be turned on or off at any time. Also, each box has their own text label (Asian Session, London Session, New York Session) and this text can be moved around the box, change color, and change size.
Previous days highs and lows (major liquidity levels) are always important to the futures trader. This indicator now allows the user to individually display the three previous days highs and low levels as lines with optional label. Each line can be independently toggled on or off and like always, every conceivable customization option is available to the user. And the labels can be moved to the right (via the Input Settings) to allow unobstructed views of candles.
The midnight EST open and 8:30 AM EST open horizontal lines (developed by the Inner Circle Trader) are returning in this indicator. But the biggest improvement is that the lines stop at the current bar or the last bar of the trading day. Additionally, the time lines are displayed on previous days so the user can easily see how the candles reacted to these important times of the day.
The Session boxes and the horizontal time lines now can be set to only display a certain number of day back. If the user wants just to see Session boxes for the previous day only, they can do that. If the user wants to see the last 15 days of boxes or lines it is very easy to increase the days back in the settings. Currently, the max days back is 80 calendar days.
Additional Images
Easily visualize and understand price action across time
Everything is customizable so the user can easily match this indicator to their color preferences
Special Notes
To turn off box session text set opacity to 0%
Boxes and horizontal time lines only display when timeframe is <= 30 minute
Futures Exchange SessionsIn the 24-hour trading of the futures market, this indicator provides the user with full customization concerning the most important factor: time. This indicator is centered around three main visualizations: labels, backgrounds, and lines that minimalistically allows the user to keep track of the many time intervals that occur during a futures market 24-hour trading cycle. It also artfully displays the previous days highs and lows. And everything can be individually toggled and configured so the user can get exactly what they want.
Labels
There are three main futures market sessions in a 24-hour period: the London, New York, and Asian Sessions. Each session is given an independent label for the open and close times. The six labels (LO, LC, NYO, NYC, AO, AC) can be individually toggled on or off, the label background color changed, the text switched between black or white, and the height can be lowered or raised. These customizations are intended to give the user full control of the session they are interested in at the moment.
Backgrounds
Backgrounds are the heart of this indicator. There are different colored transparent backgrounds for each of the futures sessions. So the user can clearly see the session they want to highlight without cluttering their chart and getting in the way of analyzing the candles.
If you are familiar with the London and New York killzones, these backgrounds are each individually configured.
If you are familiar with the Inner Circle Trader’s (ICT) NY Morning and Afternoon sessions, these are available. Also, most times weird price action occurs during the lunch hour of these sessions. The London and New York have a background for their respective lunch hours so the user is never caught of guard during these periods.
Lines
The markets are constantly looking for liquidity. To help the user see runs on liquidity, this indicator projects the previous days highs and lows on to the current day with a line and a price label. The line make it very easy to see where price may be headed. See the image below for the perfect example of this phenomenon. Each of the lines can be independently controlled by color, style, and width. And even the labels can be toggled on or off if the user would prefer just to see the lines. Lastly, there is a line that marks the midnight open price in EST.
Special Notes
This indicator is specifically designed for futures tickers.
All of the backgrounds are not designed to be turned on a once (there are many that overlap). They are designed to give the user ultimate control over exactly what timeframe backgrounds to display on their charts.
The labels only appear when timeframe is 1 hour or less.
