RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.
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.
Steady Swift by Hashtag_binarySteady Swift is an indicator that shows the forex sessions and the highest and lowest points of each session of the day.
The sessions that appear on the indicator are Tokyo, London and New York.
The calculation of each session is per hour and goes from 0 to 24 hours, where point 0 begins in the Tokyo session.
In the settings part sessions can be selected or removed, just as you can choose if you want the high and low points to be measured from the wick or the body of the candle, and you can also place the colored background or remove it if you wish (as a preference it is better to leave the background color).
The lines (either current or past) of the high points and the low points of each session can be modified in thickness.
There is a variety to choose the color of the sessions. Even modify the term of each session.
Multi Ticker Session Opening High Low RangeThe Multi Ticker Session Opening High Low Range Indicator by the Caretaker.
The original idea for this indicator came out of a request from Krown's Crypto Cave community member ZFelds.
This indicator is designed to display the High / Low Ranges of the "on chart" asset, at a chosen resolution from the opening time of, and for the duration of, the chosen Ticker Sessions (up to 3) .
Its function is to allow the user to easily keep track of the session times of the major world indices, and the reaction of the on chart assets price from the opening of the ticker sessions over the duration of the ticker sessions.
Typically used for a guide when scalp trading on low time-frames by plotting the opening 1 or 5 minute High/Low trading range of an asset during the start of a major market opening up an d making trading decisions based on the reaction of Price Action around those levels.
It does this by plotting High / Low Range bands (plus mid-lines) which displays the High and Low range of the on chart assets opening candle at the chosen time resolution for the chosen ticker (Defaults : SPX, NI225, UKX).
The Range bands fill colour changes depending on whether the chart asset closes candles within, above, or below the range (Default : Silver, Green, Red).
It plots optional Background "Session Bars" and "Session Banners" which function to clearly show the session.
The background "Session bars" can be set to plot just the first bar as a signal or on all session bars.
The "Session Banners" are horizontal lines of chosen width which "float" above the chart data.
Optional info text-boxes also "float" above the chart data and function to display the session opening range information.
(Ticker symbol, Opening range time resolution, Session open high & low).
The text-boxes can be set to full label or short label.
The text-boxes can be set to the left or center of the session.
The height offset by which the text-boxes and banners float above the highest high of the range is alterable in the settings.
The text-boxes and banners also have a "clash avoidance" function which will offset their heights to help avoid them clashing on screen (This offset is alterable in the settings).

Multi-Session ORBThe Multi-Session ORB Indicator is a customizable Pine Script (version 6) tool designed for TradingView to plot Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It allows traders to define specific ORB durations and session times in Central Daylight Time (CDT), making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. Customizable ORB Duration: Users can set the ORB duration (default: 15 minutes) via the inputMax parameter, determining the time window for calculating the high and low of each session’s opening range.
2. Flexible Session Times: The indicator supports user-defined session and ORB times for:
◦ Sydney: Default ORB (17:00–17:15 CDT), Session (17:00–01:00 CDT)
◦ Tokyo: Default ORB (19:00–19:15 CDT), Session (19:00–04:00 CDT)
◦ London: Default ORB (02:00–02:15 CDT), Session (02:00–11:00 CDT)
◦ New York: Default ORB (08:30–08:45 CDT), Session (08:30–16:00 CDT)
3. Session-Specific ORB Levels: For each session, the indicator calculates and tracks the high and low prices during the specified ORB period. These levels are updated dynamically if new highs or lows occur within the ORB timeframe.
4. Visual Representation:
◦ ORB high and low lines are plotted only during their respective session times, ensuring clarity.
◦ Each session’s lines are color-coded for easy identification:
▪ Sydney: Light Yellow (high), Dark Yellow (low)
▪ Tokyo: Light Pink (high), Dark Pink (low)
▪ London: Light Blue (high), Dark Blue (low)
▪ New York: Light Purple (high), Dark Purple (low)
◦ Lines are drawn with a linewidth of 2 and disappear when the session ends or if the timeframe is not intraday (or exceeds the ORB duration).
5. Intraday Compatibility: The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts) and only displays when the chart’s timeframe multiplier is less than or equal to the ORB duration.
How It Works:
• Session Detection: The script uses the time() function to check if the current bar falls within the user-defined ORB or session time windows, accounting for all days of the week.
• ORB Logic: At the start of each session’s ORB period, the script initializes the high and low based on the first bar’s prices. It then updates these levels if subsequent bars within the ORB period exceed the current high or fall below the current low.
• Plotting: ORB levels are plotted as horizontal lines during the respective session, with visibility controlled to avoid clutter outside session times or on incompatible timeframes.
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to identify key breakout levels for each trading session, facilitating strategies based on price action around the opening range. The flexibility to adjust ORB and session times makes it suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, or futures) and time zones.
Limitations:
• The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes and may not display on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly) or if the timeframe multiplier exceeds the ORB duration.
• Time inputs are in CDT, requiring users to adjust for their local timezone or market requirements.
• If you need to use this for GC/CL/SPY/QQQ you have to adjust the times by one hour.
This indicator is ideal for traders focusing on session-based breakout strategies, offering clear visualization and customization for global market sessions.

Asia & London Session High/Low – EOD Segments (v4.5)What it does
Plots the Asia and London session high & low each day.
When a session ends, its high/low are locked (non-repainting) and drawn as horizontal segments that auto-extend to the end of that same day (no infinite rays).
Optional labels show the exact level at session close.
Toggle whether to keep prior days on the chart or auto-clear them on the first bar of a new day.
Why traders use it
Quickly see overnight liquidity levels that often act as magnets or barriers during the U.S. session.
Map session range extremes for breakout/reversal planning, partials, and invalidation.
Works great alongside VWAP, 8/20/200 MAs, or your NY session tools to build confluence.
How it works
You define the session windows (defaults: Asia 00:00–06:00, London 07:00–11:00).
While a session is active, the script tracks running high/low.
On the bar after the session ends, the level is finalized and drawn; the segment’s right edge updates each bar until EOD, then stops automatically.
Inputs
Session Timezone: “Exchange”, UTC, or a specific region (set this to match your venue).
Asia / London Session: editable HHMM-HHMM windows.
Show Asia / Show London: enable either/both sessions.
Keep history: keep or auto-delete previous days.
Show labels: price labels at session close.
Colors & width: customize high/low colors and line width.
Best practices
Use on intraday timeframes (1–60m).
For equities/futures, set timezone to your exchange (e.g., America/New_York). For FX/crypto, pick what matches your workflow.
Common tweak: London 08:00–12:00 local; Asia 00:00–05:00 or your broker’s definition.
Notes
Non-repainting: levels only print once the session is complete.
Designed to be light and reliable—no boxes, just clean lines and labels.
If you want NY session levels, midlines (50%), anchored stop-time, or alerts on touches, this script can be extended.

CandelaCharts - OHLC Session Range Map 📝 Overview
Master the art of candlestick analysis with the OHLC Session Range Map!
Enhance your TradingView strategies by incorporating this advanced tool for actionable insights. Far beyond standard OHLC visuals, this innovative indicator integrates Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts to analyze accumulation, manipulation, and distribution, one candle at a time.
ICT traders identify manipulation through wicks that extend opposite the candle’s close—a tactic designed to mislead market participants into taking positions in the "wrong" direction. These movements often signify potential manipulation phases. By interpreting these signals, traders can anticipate a candle’s distribution phase, where the price expands to higher or lower levels. This provides valuable insights into liquidity targets, retracement zones, and potential reversals.
These levels provide critical insights into order flow, illustrating how price interacts with them and the sequence in which it unfolds.
To refine price analysis further, the tool also tracks the average timing for the completion of manipulation and distribution phases. By combining historical timing patterns with price levels tied to these phases, traders can perform more in-depth analyses and enhance their market strategies.
While rooted in historical data, this indicator does not guarantee that past patterns will repeat in future market conditions. Instead, it offers a data-driven approach to identifying moments when candles are likely to reverse after manipulation phases or retrace following completed distributions, enabling traders to spot potential turning points with greater precision.

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

Conditions: Market Bias is Bullish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Long positions or close existing Short positions.
2. SELL (Short Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bearish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bearish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Short positions or close existing Long positions.
V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS
⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility)
This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h).
Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation.
Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional.
⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500)
A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously.
On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data.
For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h).
The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data.
VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES
• Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter.
• Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached.
• VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade.
• Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested.
• 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity.

Statistcal Daily Profile & Ranges# Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges - TradingView Publication Guide
## Overview
The **Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges** indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to analyze intraday session behavior and daily range characteristics. It combines Average Daily Range (ADR) projection levels with detailed session-by-session statistics and probability-based trading insights derived from historical price action patterns.
## What This Indicator Does
This indicator provides traders with three core analytical components:
1. **ADR Projection Levels** - Dynamic support/resistance levels based on historical daily ranges
2. **Session Range Analysis** - Visual boxes and statistical breakdowns for four key trading sessions
3. **Dynamic Probability Display** - Real-time probability statistics based on overnight session relationships
## How It Works
### Average Daily Range (ADR) Calculation
The indicator calculates the average daily range over a user-defined lookback period (default: 10 days) and projects this range from each day's opening price. This creates two key levels:
- **ADR High**: Opening price + average daily range
- **ADR Low**: Opening price - average daily range
- **ADR Median**: The opening price (middle of the projected range)
These levels are recalculated at the start of each trading day and extend forward, providing dynamic support and resistance zones based on recent volatility characteristics.
### Session Tracking & Statistics
The indicator monitors four distinct trading sessions (times in Eastern Time):
1. **Asia Session** (8:00 PM - 2:00 AM)
2. **London Session** (2:00 AM - 8:00 AM)
3. **NY Open** (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM)
4. **NY Initial Balance** (9:30 AM - 10:30 AM)
For each session, the indicator:
- Draws a colored box showing the session's high-to-low range
- Tracks the opening price, high, and low
- Stores historical data for statistical analysis
- Calculates average ranges by day of week (Monday through Friday)
The session statistics are displayed in a customizable table showing average point ranges for each session across different weekdays, helping traders identify which sessions and days typically produce the most movement.
### Dynamic Probability System
The indicator analyzes the relationship between the Asia and London sessions to determine the current market setup. After the London session closes, it automatically detects one of four possible conditions:
**1. London Engulfs Asia**
- London session breaks both above Asia's high AND below Asia's low
- This indicates strong momentum during the European session
- Most common occurrence pattern
**2. Asia Engulfs London**
- Asia session range completely contains the London session range
- Indicates consolidation during London hours
- Relatively rare pattern (occurs approximately 5.36% of the time)
**3. London Partially Engulfs Upwards**
- London breaks above Asia's high but stays above Asia's low
- Suggests bullish momentum continuation from Asia into London
**4. London Partially Engulfs Downwards**
- London breaks below Asia's low but stays below Asia's high
- Suggests bearish momentum continuation from Asia into London
Once a condition is detected, the indicator displays a probability table showing historically observed outcomes for that specific setup, including:
- Probability of NY session taking out key levels (Asia high/low, London high/low)
- Probability of NY session engulfing the entire overnight range
- Directional bias for NY Cash session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM)
## How to Use This Indicator
### Initial Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on any intraday timeframe below Daily)
2. Adjust the **ADR Days** setting (default: 10) to control the lookback period for range calculation
3. Adjust the **Session Lookback Days** setting (default: 50) to determine how much historical data feeds the statistics tables
### Reading the ADR Levels
- Use the **ADR High** and **ADR Low** lines as potential profit targets or areas where price may encounter resistance
- The **ADR Median** line represents the opening price and can act as a pivot point for intraday directional bias
- If price reaches the ADR High early in the session, it suggests strong bullish momentum; conversely for ADR Low
- These levels adapt daily based on recent volatility, making them more responsive than static levels
### Interpreting Session Boxes
- **Session boxes** visually highlight when each trading session is active and its price range
- Larger boxes indicate higher volatility during that session
- Compare current session ranges to the statistical averages shown in the table
- Sessions that are unusually quiet or active relative to historical averages may signal compression or expansion
### Using the Session Statistics Table
- The table shows average point ranges for each session broken down by weekday
- Identify which sessions typically produce the most movement on specific days
- For example, if London on Thursdays averages 40 points while Mondays average 25 points, you can adjust position sizing or expectations accordingly
- The **Total** column shows the overall average across all days
- Sample sizes (shown in brackets if enabled) indicate data reliability
### Trading with the Probability Table
The probability table updates dynamically after the London session closes and shows statistically probable outcomes based on 12 years of NQ futures data.
**Important Limitations:**
- **These probabilities are derived from NQ (Nasdaq E-mini futures) data only**
- **Do NOT apply these probability statistics to other instruments** (ES, stocks, forex, etc.)
- The probabilities represent historical frequencies, not guarantees
- Always combine with your own analysis, risk management, and market context
**How to Apply the Probabilities:**
When **London Engulfs Asia**:
- Watch for NY session to take out London's extremes (72.33% probability for high, 71.12% for low)
- Slight bullish bias in NY Cash session (54.80% vs 45.20%)
- Lower probability of complete overnight engulfment (44.13%)
When **Asia Engulfs London** (rare - 5.36% occurrence):
- Higher probability NY takes Asia's high (75.86%)
- Moderately high probability NY takes Asia's low (65.52%)
- Slight increase in bullish bias (58.42% vs 41.58%)
- Recognize this as an unusual setup
When **London Partially Engulfs Upwards**:
- Very high probability NY takes London high (81.51%)
- Strong probability NY takes London low (64.45%)
- Moderate probability NY takes Asian low (53.16%)
- Slight bullish bias (55.52%)
When **London Partially Engulfs Downwards**:
- Very high probability NY takes London low (75.29%)
- Strong probability NY takes London high (68.80%)
- Moderate probability NY takes Asian high (56.44%)
- Slight bullish bias maintained (52.99%)
### Practical Trading Applications
**Scenario 1: Range Projection**
If the ADR is 500 points and the market opens at 25,000:
- ADR High: 25,500 (potential resistance/target)
- ADR Low: 24,500 (potential support/target)
- Monitor how price interacts with these levels throughout the day
**Scenario 2: Session-Based Trading**
Using the statistics table, you notice London on Wednesdays averages 35 points. During a Wednesday London session:
- If London has already moved 30 points, the session may be exhausting its typical range
- If London has only moved 15 points with an hour remaining, there may be expansion potential
- Adjust stop losses and targets based on typical session behavior
**Scenario 3: Probability-Based Setup**
It's 8:05 AM ET and the indicator shows "London Partially Engulfs Upwards":
- You now know there's an 81.51% historical probability NY will take out London's high
- There's a 53.16% probability NY will reach down to Asia's low
- The NY Cash session has a slight bullish bias (55.52%)
- Consider this alongside your technical analysis for directional bias and level targeting
## Customization Options
### Visual Settings
- **Line Width**: Adjust thickness of ADR levels
- **ADR Color/Style**: Customize appearance of ADR projection lines (solid, dashed, dotted)
- **Median Line**: Toggle visibility and customize appearance separately
- **Session Box Colors**: Customize each session's box color independently
- **Show Session Boxes**: Toggle session box visibility on/off
### Label Settings

- **Median Label**: Separate control for median line label
- **Session Labels**: Show/hide session name labels, adjust size
- **Label Colors**: Customize text colors for all labels
### Table Settings
- **Session Stats Table**: Position (9 locations available), size (Tiny to Huge), toggle on/off
- **Sample Sizes**: Show/hide the number of historical samples used for each calculation
- **Probabilities Table**: Separate position and size controls, toggle on/off
### Session Times
- Each session's time range can be customized to fit different markets or preferences
- All times are in Eastern Time (America/New_York timezone)
## Technical Notes
### Data Requirements
- The indicator requires sufficient historical data based on your lookback settings
- Minimum recommended: 50+ days of intraday data for reliable statistics
- Works on any timeframe below Daily (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, etc.)
### Calculation Methodology
- **ADR Calculation**: Simple average of absolute daily high-low ranges
- **Session Statistics**: Mean average of ranges for each session filtered by day of week
- **Condition Detection**: Boolean logic comparing session high/low relationships
- All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
### Probability Data Source
The probability statistics displayed in the dynamic table are derived from:
- **Dataset**: 12 years of NQ (Nasdaq E-mini futures) historical data
- **Methodology**: Frequency analysis of outcomes following specific setup conditions
- **Time Period**: Multiple market cycles including various volatility regimes
**Critical Warning**: These probabilities are specific to NQ and reflect that instrument's behavior patterns. Market microstructure, participant behavior, and volatility characteristics differ significantly across instruments. Do not apply these NQ-derived probabilities to other markets (ES, RTY, YM, individual stocks, forex, commodities, etc.).
## Best Practices
1. **Combine with Other Analysis**: Use this indicator as one component of a complete trading methodology, not a standalone system
2. **Respect Risk Management**: Probabilities are not certainties; always use proper position sizing and stop losses
3. **Context Matters**: High-impact news events, holiday trading, and extreme volatility can invalidate typical patterns
4. **Verify Statistics**: Monitor your own results and compare to the displayed probabilities
5. **Adapt Session Times**: If trading instruments with different active hours, adjust session times accordingly
6. **Regular Calibration**: Periodically review if the session averages and probabilities remain relevant to current market conditions
## Understanding Originality
This indicator is original in its approach to combining three analytical frameworks into a single tool:
1. **Dynamic ADR Projection**: Unlike static pivot points, these levels adapt daily based on recent volatility
2. **Session-Specific Statistics**: Goes beyond simple volume profiles by quantifying average ranges for specific time windows across weekdays
3. **Conditional Probability Display**: Automatically detects overnight session relationships and displays relevant probability data rather than showing all scenarios simultaneously
The conditional logic system that determines which probability set to display is a key differentiator—traders only see the statistics relevant to the current market setup, reducing information overload and improving decision-making clarity.
## Summary
The **Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges** indicator provides traders with a comprehensive framework for understanding daily range potential, session-specific behavior patterns, and probability-based setup analysis. By combining ADR projection levels with detailed session statistics and dynamic probability displays, traders gain multiple perspectives on potential price movement within the trading day.
The indicator is most effective when used to:
- Set realistic profit targets based on average daily range
- Identify which sessions typically produce movement on specific weekdays
- Understand probability-weighted outcomes for different overnight setup conditions (NQ only)
- Visualize session ranges and compare them to historical averages
Remember that all statistical analysis reflects historical patterns, and market behavior can change. Always combine indicator signals with sound risk management, proper position sizing, and your own market analysis.

Anchored Session Volume Profile • Heatmap Profiles • Asia/EU/US Description
This indicator builds Anchored Session Volume Profiles for Asia, EU, and US sessions on intraday charts and renders them as right-docked line histograms (heatmap or classic style). Each session computes its own POC, VAH, VAL and optional Session High/Low lines. An optional per-price-bin Delta overlay estimates buy/sell pressure inside the profile rows for quick order-flow context.
What’s unique
Three independent session anchors (Asia/EU/US) with custom start/end times, bin size in ticks, and Value Area %.
Right-fixed live rendering or post-close persistence (draw levels only after the session closes).
Adaptive width: profile width scales with elapsed session length (anchor → now/end) within user limits.
Heatmap profile: row tint scales by relative volume; or Classic single-color with optional gradient.
Per-row Delta ticks (outside/inside, configurable direction) derived from bar delta and overlap with each price bin.
Clean POC/VAH/VAL line styling, optional ray extension, and Session High/Low rays per session.
How it works (technical)
Binning: Rows are built with a user-defined bin height in ticks. Arrays expand/shrink as price extends; the base is shifted when new lows appear to keep bins aligned.
Accumulation: For each bar within the active session window, traded volume is distributed to intersecting bins proportionally to the price overlap with that bin.
Value Area: POC is the highest-volume bin. VA is grown symmetrically around the POC until the selected coverage (VA%) is reached.
Delta per bin (optional): A bar-level delta proxy volume * (close − open) / range (clamped) is split into buy/sell and allocated to bins proportionally to the same overlap share, producing a per-row delta magnitude for rendering ticks.
Rendering modes:
Right fixed: refreshes each bar; lines/histogram are docked at the anchor X-position.
Draw Levels after Session Close: on close, only POC/VAH/VAL (and optional Session High/Low) are persisted.
No lookahead: All computations use confirmed bars; levels are deterministic on close.
How to use
Use the Asia/EU/US profiles to read participation hand-offs and session-driven rotations.
Trade off POC/VAH/VAL as acceptance/rejection references; confluence with session High/Low often marks responsive flows.
Employ Delta ticks per row to spot absorption, one-sided stacking, or fading participation inside the profile without leaving TradingView.
Prefer right-fixed during live trading and post-close when you want persistent session levels.
Key settings
General per session: Start/End (hh:mm), Bin size (ticks), Value Area %, toggle POC/VAH/VAL lines.
Rendering: Heatmap vs. Classic, orientation (Left/Right), gradient on/off, row thickness, right offset, adaptive width limits.
Delta (per price bin): global on/off, per-session on/off, tick width, max tick length (bars), outside/inside placement, direction (sign-based / always left / always right), colors.
Levels: POC/VAH/VAL styles (solid/dashed/dotted), widths, colors, extend right (ray).
Session High/Low: per-session on/off, style, width, colors, optional right-ray extension.
Notes & limitations
Designed for intraday data; accuracy depends on the feed’s volume granularity.
Large histories + small bins + delta ticks can be heavy; tune bin size, adaptive width, and delta max length for performance.
Timezone for anchors is set internally to Europe/Berlin.
