Session Time RangesHave you ever wondered if you are trading at the right time of the day or feel like all the good trades happen when you are sleeping? Well now you can check your theory :)
This Script allows you to highlight a time range on your chart over a 24hour time period. For example 3AM to 6AM
The script has two time variables, set your start time and end time based on a 24 hour clock and set the time zone offset variable to match your charts time zone. For example New York -4 (for utc just enter 0 for no offset )
This is a quick script I put together so hopefully it is error free enjoy :)

Session Trader2This is the second version of our work on developing signals for day trading stock index futures. In addition to finding signals that trade with the trend this script also looks for key reversal points during the day so that traders can now trade both ways. The signals are designed to operate on an intraday basis and have holding periods of 30 minutes or less. The script uses price action only as its signal generation trades rather than relying upon lagging indicator data. For info on how to obtain this scrip please see our signature file or message us directly on TV. We would be happy to show you.
Session P4L MTFCorrected indicator for better support of smaller time frames. version 3.0 with better interface. thank you
Session P EdgesThis is an attempt to chart the primary balance ranges, however,
I have been having difficulty getting the lows to work in the graph, any assistance would be welcome
Liquidity Swing Points [BackQuant]Liquidity Swing Points
This tool marks recent swing highs and swing lows and turns them into persistent horizontal “liquidity” levels. These are places where resting orders often accumulate, such as stop losses above prior highs and below prior lows. The script detects confirmed pivots, records their prices, draws lines and labels, and manages their lifecycle on the chart so you can monitor potential sweep or breakout zones without manual redrawing.
What it plots
LQ-H at confirmed swing highs
LQ-L at confirmed swing lows
Horizontal levels that can optionally extend into the future
Timed removal of old levels to keep the chart clean
Each level stores its price, the bar where it was created, its type (high or low), plus a label and a line reference for efficient updates.
How it works
Pivot detection
A swing high is confirmed when the highest high has swing_length bars on both sides that are lower.
A swing low is confirmed when the lowest low has swing_length bars on both sides that are higher.
Pivots are only marked after they are confirmed, so they do not repaint.
Level creation
When a pivot confirms, the script records the price and the creation bar (offset by the right lookback).
A new line is plotted at that price, labeled LQ-H or LQ-L.
Rendering and extension
Levels can be drawn to the most recent bar only or extended to the right for forward reference.
Label size and line color/transparency are configurable.
Lifecycle management
On each confirmed bar, the script checks level age.
Levels older than a chosen bar count are removed automatically to reduce clutter.
How it can be used
Liquidity sweeps: Watch for price to probe beyond a level then close back inside. That behavior often signals a potential fade back into the prior range.
Breakout validation: If price pushes through a level and holds on closes, traders may treat that as continuation. Retests of the level from the other side can serve as structure checks.
Context for entries and exits: Use nearby LQ-H or LQ-L as reference for stop placement or partial-take zones, especially when other tools agree.
Multi-timeframe mapping: Plot swing points on higher timeframes, then drill down to time entries on lower timeframes as price interacts with those levels.
Why liquidity levels matter
Prior swing points are focal areas where many strategies set stops or pending orders. Price often revisits these zones, either to “sweep” resting liquidity before reversing, or to absorb it and trend. Marking these areas objectively helps frame scenarios like failed breaks, successful breakouts, and retests, and it reduces the subjectivity of eyeballing structure.
Settings to know
Swing Detection Length (swing_length), Controls sensitivity. Lower values find more local swings. Higher values find more significant ones.
Bars until removal (removeafter), Deletes levels after a fixed number of bars to prevent buildup.
Extend Levels Right (extend_levels), Keeps levels projected into the future for easier planning.
Label Size (label_size), Choose tiny to large for chart readability.
One color input controls both high and low levels with transparency for context.
Strengths
Objective marking of recent structure without hand drawing
No repaint after confirmation since pivots are locked once the right lookback completes
Lightweight and fast with simple lifecycle management
Clear visuals that integrate well with any price-action workflow
Practical tips
For scalping: use smaller swing_length to capture more granular liquidity. Keep removeafter short to avoid clutter.
For swing trading: increase swing_length so only more meaningful levels remain. Consider extending levels to the right for planning.
Combine with time-of-day filters, ATR for stop sizing, or a separate trend filter to bias trades taken at the levels.
Keep screenshots focused: one image showing a sweep and reversal, another showing a clean breakout and retest.
Limitations and notes
Levels appear after confirmation, so they are delayed by swing_length bars. This is by design to avoid repainting.
On very noisy or illiquid symbols, you may see many nearby levels. Increasing swing_length and shortening removeafter helps.
The script does not assess volume or session context. Consider pairing with volume or session tools if that is part of your process.

Volume Profile [Makit0]VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR v0.5 beta
Volume Profile is suitable for day and swing trading on stock and futures markets, is a volume based indicator that gives you 6 key values for each session: POC, VAH, VAL, profile HIGH, LOW and MID levels. This project was born on the idea of plotting the RTH sessions Value Areas for /ES in an automated way, but you can select between 3 different sessions: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL sessions.
Some basic concepts:
- Volume Profile calculates the total volume for the session at each price level and give us market generated information about what price and range of prices are the most traded (where the value is)
- Value Area (VA): range of prices where 70% of the session volume is traded
- Value Area High (VAH): highest price within VA
- Value Area Low (VAL): lowest price within VA
- Point of Control (POC): the most traded price of the session (with the most volume)
- Session HIGH, LOW and MID levels are also important
There are a huge amount of things to know of Market Profile and Auction Theory like types of days, types of openings, relationships between value areas and openings... for those interested Jim Dalton's work is the way to come
I'm in my 2nd trading year and my goal for this year is learning to daytrade the futures markets thru the lens of Market Profile
For info on Volume Profile: TV Volume Profile wiki page at www.tradingview.com
For info on Market Profile and Market Auction Theory: Jim Dalton's book Mind over markets (this is a MUST)
BE AWARE: this indicator is based on the current chart's time interval and it only plots on 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes charts.
This is the correlation table TV uses in the Volume Profile Session Volume indicator (from the wiki above)
Chart Indicator
1 - 5 1
6 - 15 5
16 - 30 10
31 - 60 15
61 - 120 30
121 - 1D 60
This indicator doesn't follow that correlation, it doesn't get the volume data from a lower timeframe, it gets the data from the current chart resolution.
FEATURES
- 6 key values for each session: POC (solid yellow), VAH (solid red), VAL (solid green), profile HIGH (dashed silver), LOW (dashed silver) and MID (dotted silver) levels
- 3 sessions to choose for: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL
- select the numbers of sessions to plot by adding 12 hours periods back in time
- show/hide POC
- show/hide VAH & VAL
- show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID levels
- highlight the periods of time out of the session (silver)
- extend the plotted lines all the way to the right, be careful this can turn the chart unreadable if there are a lot of sessions and lines plotted
SETTINGS
- Session: select between RTH (8:30 to 15:15 CT), GLOBEX (17:00 to 8:30 CT) and FULL (17:00 to 15:15 CT) sessions. RTH by default
- Last 12 hour periods to show: select the deph of the study by adding periods, for example, 60 periods are 30 natural days and around 22 trading days. 1 period by default
- Show POC (Point of Control): show/hide POC line. true by default
- Show VA (Value Area High & Low): show/hide VAH & VAL lines. true by default
- Show Range (Session High, Low & Mid): show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID lines. true by default
- Highlight out of session: show/hide a silver shadow over the non session periods. true by default
- Extension: Extend all the plotted lines to the right. false by default
HOW TO SETUP
BE AWARE THIS INDICATOR PLOTS ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CHART RESOLUTIONS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 AND 30 MINUTES CHARTS. YOU MUST SELECT ONE OF THIS RESOLUTIONS TO THE INDICATOR BE ABLE TO PLOT
- By default this indicator plots all the levels for the last RTH session within the last 12 hours, if there is no plot try to adjust the 12 hours periods until the seesion and the periods match
- For Globex/Full sessions just select what you want from the dropdown menu and adjust the periods to plot the values
- Show or hide the levels you want with the 3 groups: POC line, VA lines and Session Range lines
- The highlight and extension options are for a better visibility of the levels as POC or VAH/VAL

ICT Opening Range Projections (tristanlee85)ICT Opening Range Projections
This indicator visualizes key price levels based on ICT's (Inner Circle Trader) "Opening Range" concept. This 30-minute time interval establishes price levels that the algorithm will refer to throughout the session. The indicator displays these levels, including standard deviation projections, internal subdivisions (quadrants), and the opening price.
🟪 What It Does
The Opening Range is a crucial 30-minute window where market algorithms establish significant price levels. ICT theory suggests this range forms the basis for daily price movement.
This script helps you:
Mark the high, low, and opening price of each session.
Divide the range into quadrants (premium, discount, and midpoint/Consequent Encroachment).
Project potential price targets beyond the range using configurable standard deviation multiples .
🟪 How to Use It
This tool aids in time-based technical analysis rooted in ICT's Opening Range model, helping you observe price interaction with algorithmic levels.
Example uses include:
Identifying early structural boundaries.
Observing price behavior within premium/discount zones.
Visualizing initial displacement from the range to anticipate future moves.
Comparing price reactions at projected standard deviation levels.
Aligning price action with significant times like London or NY Open.
Note: This indicator provides a visual framework; it does not offer trade signals or interpretations.
🟪 Key Information
Time Zone: New York time (ET) is required on your chart.
Sessions: Supports multiple sessions, including NY midnight, NY AM, NY PM, and three custom timeframes.
Time Interval: Supports multi-timeframe up to 15 minutes. Best used on a 1-minute chart for accuracy.
🟪 Session Options
The Opening Range interval is configurable for up to 6 sessions:
Pre-defined ICT Sessions:
NY Midnight: 12:00 AM – 12:30 AM ET
NY AM: 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM ET
NY PM: 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Custom Sessions:
Three user-defined start/end time pairs.
This example shows a custom session from 03:30 - 04:00:
🟪 Understanding the Levels
The Opening Price is the open of the first 1-minute candle within the chosen session.
At session close, the Opening Range is calculated using its High and Low . An optional swing-based mode uses swing highs/lows for range boundaries.
The range is divided into quadrants by its midpoint ( Consequent Encroachment or CE):
Upper Quadrant: CE to high (premium).
Lower Quadrant: Low to CE (discount).
These subdivisions help visualize internal range dynamics, where price often reacts during algorithmic delivery.
🟪 Working with Ranges
By default, the range is determined by the highest high and lowest low of the 30-minute session:
A range can also be determined by the highest/lowest swing points:
Quadrants outline the premium and discount of a range that price will reference:
Small ranges still follow the same algorithmic logic, but may be deemed insignificant for one's trading. These can be filtered in the settings by specifying a minimum ticks limit. In this example, the range is 42 ticks (10.5 points) but the indicator is configured for 80 ticks (20 points). We can select which levels will plot if the range is below the limit. Here, only the 00:00 opening price is plotted:
You may opt to include the range high/low, quadrants, and projections as well. This will plot a red (configurable) range bracket to indicate it is below the limit while plotting the levels:
🟪 Price Projections
Projections extend beyond the Opening Range using standard deviations, framing the market beyond the initial session and identifying potential targets. You define the standard deviation multiples (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Both positive and negative extensions are displayed, symmetrically projected from the range's high and low.
The Dynamic Levels option plots only the next projection level once price crosses the previous extreme. For example, only the 0.5 STDEV level plots until price reaches it, then the 1.0 level appears, and so on. This continues up to your defined maximum projections, or indefinitely if standard deviations are set to 0.
This example shows dynamic levels for a total of 6 sessions, only 1 of which meet a configured minimum limit of 50 ticks:
Small ranges followed by significant displacement are impacted the most with the number of levels plotted. You may hide projections when configuring the minimum ticks.
A fixed standard deviation will plot levels in both directions, regardless of the price range. Here, we plot up to 3.0 which hiding projections for small ranges:

Custom V2 KillZone US / FVG / EMAThis indicator is designed for traders looking to analyze liquidity levels, opportunity zones, and the underlying trend across different trading sessions. Inspired by the ICT methodology, this tool combines analysis of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), session management, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection to provide a structured and disciplined approach to trading effectively.
Indicator Features
Identifying the Underlying Trend with Two EMAs
The indicator uses two EMAs on different, customizable timeframes to define the underlying trend:
EMA1 (default set to a daily timeframe): Represents the primary underlying trend.
EMA2 (default set to a 4-hour timeframe): Helps identify secondary corrections or impulses within the main trend.
These two EMAs allow traders to stay aligned with the market trend by prioritizing trades in the direction of the moving averages. For example, if prices are above both EMAs, the trend is bullish, and long trades are favored.
Analysis of Market Sessions
The indicator divides the day into key trading sessions:
Asian Session
London Session
US Pre-Open Session
Liquidity Kill Session
US Kill Zone Session
Each session is represented by high and low zones as well as mid-lines, allowing traders to visualize liquidity levels reached during these periods. Tracking the price levels in different sessions helps determine whether liquidity levels have been "swept" (taken) or not, which is essential for ICT methodology.
Liquidity Signal ("OK" or "STOP")
A specific signal appears at the end of the "Liquidity Kill" session (just before the "US Kill Zone" session):
"OK" Signal: Indicates that liquidity conditions are favorable for trading the "US Kill Zone" session. This means that liquidity levels have been swept in previous sessions (Asian, London, US Pre-Open), and the market is ready for an opportunity.
"STOP" Signal: Indicates that it is not favorable to trade the "US Kill Zone" session, as certain liquidity conditions have not been met.
The "OK" or "STOP" signal is based on an analysis of the high and low levels from previous sessions, allowing traders to ensure that significant liquidity zones have been reached before considering positions in the "Kill Zone".
Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in the US Kill Zone Session
When an "OK" signal is displayed, the indicator identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVG) during the "US Kill Zone" session. These FVGs are areas where price may return to fill an "imbalance" in the market, making them potential entry points.
Bullish FVG: Detected when there is a bullish imbalance, providing a buying opportunity if conditions align with the underlying trend.
Bearish FVG: Detected when there is a bearish imbalance, providing a selling opportunity in the trend direction.
FVG detection aligns with the ICT Silver Bullet methodology, where these imbalance zones serve as probable entry points during the "US Kill Zone".
How to Use This Indicator
Check the Underlying Trend
Before trading, observe the two EMAs (daily and 4-hour) to understand the general market trend. Trades will be prioritized in the direction indicated by these EMAs.
Monitor Liquidity Signals After the Asian, London, and US Pre-Open Sessions
The high and low levels of each session help determine if liquidity has already been swept in these areas. At the end of the "Liquidity Kill" session, an "OK" or "STOP" label will appear:
"OK" means you can look for trading opportunities in the "US Kill Zone" session.
"STOP" means it is preferable not to take trades in the "US Kill Zone" session.
Look for Opportunities in the US Kill Zone if the Signal is "OK"
When the "OK" label is present, focus on the "US Kill Zone" session. Use the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) as potential entry points for trades based on the ICT methodology. The identified FVGs will appear as colored boxes (bullish or bearish) during this session.
Use ICT Methodology to Manage Your Trades
Follow the FVGs as potential reversal zones in the direction of the trend, and manage your positions according to your personal strategy and the rules of the ICT Silver Bullet method.
Customizable Settings
The indicator includes several customization options to suit the trader's preferences:
EMA: Length, source (close, open, etc.), and timeframe.
Market Sessions: Ability to enable or disable each session, with color and line width settings.
Liquidity Signals: Customization of colors for the "OK" and "STOP" labels.
FVG: Option to display FVGs or not, with customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs, and the number of bars for FVG extension.

Macro+ ExtMacros+ (Time Sessions & Alerts)
Macros+ is a powerful and highly customizable tool designed to highlight specific time windows—often referred to as "macros"—directly on your chart. It is built for traders who operate on time-based strategies, such as those targeting specific liquidity periods like the ICT Silver Bullet or other institutional timeframes.
By visualizing these key sessions historically and in real-time, traders can better anticipate market volatility, identify potential trade setups, and maintain discipline. The script is clean, efficient, and built with flexibility in mind.
Key Features
This indicator goes beyond simple time boxes and includes several advanced features to fit your specific trading style:
1. Historical & Real-Time Display
The script is designed to plot all selected macro sessions across the entire historical data loaded on your chart, not just the current day. This allows for comprehensive backtesting and analysis of how price behaves during these specific time windows.
2. Fully Customizable Macro Sessions
You have full control over which time sessions you want to display. The indicator includes 14 pre-configured 20-minute sessions, which you can easily toggle on or off from the settings menu. This allows you to focus only on the timeframes that are relevant to your strategy.
3. Adjustable "Extended Macro" Time
Flexible Time Extension: Instead of a fixed session duration, you can now dynamically extend the start and end times of all macros.
Numerical Input: In the settings, under "Time Settings," you'll find an "Extend Minutes" input. This number lets you add minutes to both the beginning and the end of each session.
Example: A standard macro from 09:50 - 10:10 with an "Extend Minutes" value of 5 will be automatically adjusted to 09:45 - 10:15. Setting it to 0 will keep the default 20-minute sessions.
4. Multiple Display Styles

Dotted Line: The most subtle line style for a minimalist chart.
Background: Fills the entire session window with a semi-transparent color.
Outline: Draws a colored border around the session window without filling it.
5. Real-Time Alerts
Never miss the start of a key session again. You can enable an alert that will trigger once at the beginning of any active macro session. This is perfect for traders who may not be watching the charts constantly.
6. Timezone Correction
All times are calculated based on the timezone you select in the settings (default is "America/New_York"). This ensures the sessions are always plotted accurately according to the market you are trading (e.g., New York session times).
How to Use
Add to Chart: Add the "Macros+" indicator to your chart.
Open Settings:
General Settings: Choose your preferred Timezone, Display Style, and Color.
Active Macro Sessions: Check the boxes for the time sessions you wish to monitor.
Time Settings: Enter a value in Extend Minutes if you want to widen the time windows. A value of 5 will create 30-minute sessions.
Alert Settings: Enable the Alert On Macro Start option if you wish to receive alerts.
Create Alert: To activate the pop-up alert, click the clock icon on the TradingView right-hand panel, select "Macros+" in the "Condition" dropdown, choose "Sesi Makro Dimulai," and set it to trigger "Once Per Bar."
This tool was designed to be both powerful and user-friendly. I hope it becomes a valuable part of your trading toolkit. Happy trading!
Range Averages [Blu_Ju]Using Ranges
A popular analysis technique among traders is to use statistical price data over a given time range. For example, a trader might want to examine the average price range for the time period of 9:30 am - 10:00 am EST (commonly referred to as the Opening Range), and compare the average range to the current, live range as it forms.
What this Script Does
This script allows a user to monitor the current price range against the average price range of up to six different periods of time (sessions). The data is presented in a table in the chart window, with four stats listed per session:
Range: This is the most recent (or current) price range for the session. This value is updated in real-time as the price range forms.
Avg: This is the average price range for the session. (See below for how this is calculated.)
Diff: This is the price difference between the most recent (or current) price range of the session and the average price range of the session. When the most recent price range is smaller than the average, this will be a negative number. This value is updated in real-time as the price range forms.
Range %: This is the percent value of the most recent (or current) price range of the session compared to the average price range of the session. For example, If the most recent price range was half that of the average price range, the Range % would be 50%. If the most recent price range was twice that of the average price range, the Range % would be 200%. A Range % value of 100% indicates that the most recent price range is equal to the average price range. This value is updated in real-time as the price range forms.
What Makes this Script Unique
While this is not the only publicly available average range script, what makes it unique is the complete user control over up to six sessions (including overlapping sessions) and the display of that data.
Scope of this Script
This script is intended for use on intraday timeframes only. It will not calculate properly on daily or higher timeframes. Additionally, for the calculation to be correct, the input session must be evenly divisible by the chart timeframe. For example, if the user inputs a session that is 30 minutes long (e.g., 9:30 am - 10:00 am), then the calculations would be correct on the 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 30-minute timeframes only.
User Inputs
This script was written to provide the user with maximum control over the range data and how that data is displayed. These are the user inputs:
Data - Input the number of days used to calculate the average price range of the sessions. This input is applied to all six sessions. The default value is 10.
Sessions - There are six sessions the user can set. Checking the box next to a session will cause that session data to be calculated and displayed. This allows the user to turn on or off a session at their discretion. The default value are displayed in the chart image above.
Visibility - Checking this box will cause the range data to be displayed only when the range is currently forming (i.e., live price is within the session). This allows the user to display the data from multiple sessions only when needed.
Visual Styles - This section has controls for how the data table is displayed. The user can select the table position, colors and border, and text size.
Zinc Model [Mr Zinc x MMT]The Zinc Model is a TradingView indicator designed to assist traders by plotting key price levels from two defined trading sessions: the previous day's session (4:00 AM to 8:00 PM) and the current day's London session (4:00 AM to 9:15 AM). It overlays horizontal lines for session highs, lows, and midpoints (EQ levels), along with a vertical anchor line to mark session starts. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor its appearance and focus on specific sessions for strategic analysis.
Features
Session-Based Levels : Tracks and displays high, low, and midpoint (50% EQ) levels for two sessions: the previous day's session and the current day's London session.
Customizable Display : Users can toggle visibility of high, low, EQ levels, and session anchor lines, with options to adjust line styles, colors, and widths.
Session Selection : Configurable session show times (default: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in New York time) for displaying levels, with a projection offset to extend lines into future bars.
Labels: Optional labels for each level (High, Low, EQ) with customizable sizes (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) for clear identification.
Time Zone Support : Anchors sessions to a specified time zone (default: America/New_York).
How It Works
The indicator calculates key price levels based on two user-defined sessions:
- Previous Day Session (4:00 AM–8:00 PM) : Tracks the high, low, and midpoint (50% of the range) of the previous day's session.
- London Session (4:00 AM–9:15 AM) : Tracks the high, low, and midpoint of the current day's London session.
- Levels Displayed :
High/Low Levels : Horizontal lines at the highest and lowest prices of each session.
EQ Level : A horizontal line at the 50% midpoint of the session's range.
Anchor Line : A vertical line marking the start of the user-defined display session.
- Levels are plotted during a user-specified "Show Session" time window (default: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM) and extended forward by a configurable number of bars (default: 15).
- The indicator updates dynamically as new highs or lows occur within the active session.
Usage
