NQ Statistical MapperNQ Statistical Mapper
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER - READ FIRST
WARNING: THIS INDICATOR IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR NQ (NASDAQ-100 E-MINI FUTURES) ONLY
All statistics displayed in this indicator are HARD-CODED values derived from a comprehensive analysis of 12 years (2013-2025) of 1-minute NQ futures data. These statistics are calculated offline using Python and embedded directly into the indicator code.
These probabilities DO NOT apply to any instrument other than NQ
What This Indicator Does
The NQ Statistical Mapper is a data-driven trading tool that displays historical probability statistics for intraday NQ price behavior based on overnight session structure and opening positioning. Rather than generating signals, it provides context by showing:
Three trading sessions with visual boxes: Asia (8PM-2AM), London (2AM-8AM), and New York (8AM-4PM) Eastern Time
Key price levels with historical hit rate percentages showing the probability these levels are touched during the NY cash session (8AM-4PM)
Context-aware statistics that change based on current market conditions
Session range analysis showing whether Asia and London ranges are unusually large or small compared to recent history
Core Methodology and Statistical Foundation
Pattern Detection System
The indicator automatically detects one of four overnight session patterns based on how the London session (2AM-8AM) interacts with the Asia session (8PM-2AM):
London Engulfs Asia: London high is greater than Asia high AND London low is less than Asia low
Asia Engulfs London: Asia high is greater than or equal to London high AND Asia low is less than or equal to London low
London Partial Up: London high is greater than Asia high BUT London low is greater than or equal to Asia low (took out Asia high only)
London Partial Down: London low is less than Asia low BUT London high is less than or equal to Asia high (took out Asia low only)
Each pattern has distinct statistical characteristics that influence NY session behavior.
Conditional Probability Framework
The indicator uses a conditional probability approach where statistics adapt based on:
Primary Condition: Where does NY open (8:00 AM) relative to the London session midpoint?
"NY opens above London midpoint"
"NY opens below London midpoint"
This single condition dramatically changes the probabilities. For example:
When NY opens above London midpoint: 76.68% chance NY hits the London high before the London low during 8AM-4PM
When NY opens below London midpoint: 73.32% chance NY hits the London low before the London high during 8AM-4PM
Secondary Condition: The overnight pattern further refines these probabilities. Each combination of "NY position vs London midpoint" plus "overnight pattern" has unique hit rate statistics calculated from the 12-year dataset.
"Hit First" Statistics Explained
The table displays "Hit High First" and "Hit Low First" percentages. These answer the question: "During the NY cash session (8AM-4PM), if price eventually touches both the London high AND London low, which one does it touch FIRST?"
Example interpretation:
Hit High First: 76.68% means that in 76.68% of historical days with this setup, price touched the London high before touching the London low
Hit Low First: 22.48% means London low was touched first
The remaining approximately 1% represents days where neither level was hit during the NY session
This is fundamentally different from asking "will price go up or down" - it is about the sequence of range expansion during the NY session.
Displayed Levels and Their Meanings
Session Highs/Lows (Solid Lines)
These appear when each session completes and extend through the NY session:
Asia High/Low (Orange): The highest and lowest prices during 8PM-2AM EST
London High/Low (Blue): The highest and lowest prices during 2AM-8AM EST
Each level shows its hit rate percentage - the probability that NY session price (8AM-4PM) will touch that level, based on the current pattern and NY opening position.
Hourly Midpoint Levels (Dashed Gray Lines)
Three specific hourly levels with remarkably high hit rates:
7-8 AM Midpoint: Average of high and low during the 7-8 AM hour. Hit rates consistently above 93-94%, essentially sitting at the 8 AM open price (mean distance: -0.001%)
Midnight Open: The opening price at midnight EST. Hit rates vary from 62-87% depending on pattern and setup
2-3 AM Midpoint: Average of high and low during the 2-3 AM hour. Hit rates range from 67-92%
These levels are derived from mean-reversion behavior - price tends to revisit certain overnight reference points during the NY session.
Session Midpoints (Dotted Lines)
Optional display of Asia and London session midpoints. These lines terminate when their respective sessions end, providing additional reference levels for session positioning.
Statistics Table Breakdown
The table displays five sections of information:
1. SETUP Section
Shows whether "NY opens above/below London midpoint"
Displays the detected overnight pattern (1 of 4 types)
Sample size: Number of historical days matching this exact setup
Hit High First / Hit Low First: Directional bias percentages
2. HIT RATES (8AM-4PM) Section
Shows probability that each level gets touched at any point during the NY cash session:
7-8 AM Midpoint: Almost always touched (93-97% depending on pattern)
Midnight Open: Varies significantly (62-87%) based on whether the overnight pattern is aligned or contrary to NY's opening position
2-3 AM Midpoint: Strong hit rates (67-92%)
These are independent probabilities - they do not predict which is hit first, just whether each level gets visited.
3. ASIA RANGE Section
Real-time comparison of today's Asia session range versus recent history:
Sessions Captured: Shows how many sessions are in the rolling calculation (e.g., "18 / 50" = 18 sessions captured out of 50 requested). This alerts users if their chart history is insufficient
Current Range: Today's Asia high minus Asia low in points
Mean Range: Average range over the captured sessions
Percentile Rank: Where today's range falls in the distribution
80th percentile (red background): Unusually large range - top 20% of days
60-80th percentile (light gray): Above average
20-60th percentile (white): Normal range
Less than 20th percentile (light blue): Unusually small range - bottom 20% of days
4. LONDON RANGE Section
Identical structure to Asia Range section, analyzing the London session's range characteristics.
Why Percentile Rank Instead of Standard Deviation?
Intraday ranges exhibit right-skewed distributions with fat tails (volatility spikes create extreme outliers). Percentile rank is distribution-free and robust to these characteristics, providing more reliable identification of unusual ranges than z-scores or standard deviations.
How To Use This Indicator
For Context and Confluence
This is not a standalone trading system. The indicator provides statistical context to support other analysis:
Understanding Session Bias: If the table shows 76% probability of hitting the session high first, you know there is a statistical lean toward upside range expansion
Target Setting: If trading a breakout above the overnight high, knowing that Asia high gets hit 75% of the time helps assess target viability
Entry Timing: The 7-8 AM midpoint's 94% hit rate makes it an excellent re-entry or scaling level
Range Expansion Assessment: Percentile rankings help identify whether overnight sessions showed abnormal volatility, which may influence NY session behavior
Pattern-Specific Insights
London Partial Up plus NY Opens Below London Midpoint:
Midnight open hit rate jumps to 87.82% (strong mean reversion)
Suggests counter-trend reversal back toward overnight lows is likely
London Partial Down plus NY Opens Above London Midpoint:
Midnight open hit rate is 86.30%
Mirror pattern - reversion toward overnight highs
Asia Engulfs London Pattern:
Very high hit rates (85-98%) across all levels
Suggests consolidation/mean reversion during NY session rather than directional expansion
Typical Workflow
8:00 AM: Review the statistics table - which pattern occurred? Where did NY open relative to London midpoint?
Check Hit Rates: Note which levels have the highest probabilities of being touched
Assess Range Percentiles: Are Asia/London ranges unusually large or small? High percentiles may indicate already-extended ranges
Combine With Your Strategy: Use the statistics as confluence with your technical analysis, support/resistance, or order flow

Important Limitations and Considerations
1. This Is Historical Data, Not Prediction
The statistics show what happened in the past given similar setups. Markets evolve, regimes change, and past probability does not guarantee future outcomes. A 75% hit rate means that in 25% of historical cases, the level was NOT hit.
2. Chart History Requirements
TradingView imposes data limits:
5-minute chart: Approximately 10 days of history (enough for minimal statistics)
1-minute chart: Approximately 2-3 days of history (insufficient for percentile calculations)
Use 5-minute or higher timeframes to ensure adequate session capture
The table displays "Sessions Captured" (e.g., 18/50) to alert you when your chart history is limited.
3. Session Timing Is Fixed (EST)
All sessions use America/New_York timezone:
Asia: 8PM-2AM
London: 2AM-8AM
NY: 8AM-4PM
These times do not adjust for daylight saving changes in other regions. The definitions match CME NQ futures trading hours.
4. The Statistics Are From 2013-2025 Data
The 12-year analysis period includes:
Multiple market regimes (bull/bear/sideways)
Various volatility environments
QE, taper tantrums, COVID, 2022 bear market, 2023-2024 rally
However, it is still a limited sample. Future market structure changes (algorithmic trading evolution, regulatory changes, etc.) may alter these probabilities over time.
5. No Real-Time Calculation
This indicator does not recalculate statistics based on your chart's data. It displays pre-calculated probabilities. The only real-time calculations are:
Which pattern occurred today
Where NY opened relative to London midpoint
Current session ranges and their percentile ranks (based on your chart's recent history)
Statistical Methodology Details
Data Source
Instrument: NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini Futures) continuous contract
Timeframe: 1-minute bars
Period: January 2013 - January 2025 (12 years)
Sample Size: 3,132 trading days analyzed
Analysis Approach
Each trading day was classified by overnight pattern (4 types). NY opening position vs London midpoint was determined. For each combination (4 patterns times 2 positions equals 8 scenarios), the following was measured:
How often each level (session highs/lows, hourly midpoints) was touched during 8AM-4PM
Which session extreme (high or low) was hit first
Mean distance from 8 AM open to each level
Session ranges were measured for percentile analysis. All percentages were rounded to two decimal places for display.
Why These Specific Levels?
The levels were not chosen arbitrarily:
Session highs/lows: Natural support/resistance from overnight price discovery
7-8 AM midpoint: The final hour before NY open often establishes the opening range balance point
Midnight open: Represents the "true" start of the trading day (6PM-5PM structure)
2-3 AM midpoint: Captures early London price action balance
Testing showed these levels had the highest and most consistent hit rates across different patterns and setups.
Technical Implementation Notes
Language: Pine Script v5

Pattern classification
Conditional probability lookup
Percentile rank calculation (for session ranges)
All heavy statistical analysis was performed offline. The indicator only performs simple lookups and real-time range tracking.
Educational Value
Beyond trading application, this indicator demonstrates:
Conditional Probability: How market context (opening position, overnight structure) dramatically changes probabilities
Mean Reversion Dynamics: Why certain levels (7-8 AM midpoint, midnight) have such high revisit rates
Pattern Recognition: How overnight session relationships create different NY session behaviors
Distribution Analysis: Using percentile ranks instead of parametric statistics for skewed data
Understanding these concepts helps traders develop more sophisticated market models beyond simple "support and resistance."
Final Notes
This indicator is a tool for informed decision-making, not a crystal ball. It answers questions like:
"What typically happens in this setup?"
"How often does price revisit these levels?"
"Is this overnight range unusual?"
It does NOT answer:
"Should I buy or sell right now?"
"Where will price be at 4 PM?"
"What will happen tomorrow?"
Combine these statistics with proper risk management, sound trading strategy, and awareness that any individual day can deviate significantly from historical norms. The power of this indicator lies in providing objective, data-driven context to complement your analysis - not in replacing your judgment.

Global Sessions & Kill Zones [jpkxyz]Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones Indicator
Overview
The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify and visualize the most critical time periods in the 24-hour forex and futures markets. This indicator combines traditional trading session analysis with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Kill Zone methodology, providing traders with a complete picture of when institutional activity and liquidity are at their peak.
Trading Theory & Foundation
Session-Based Trading
The forex market operates 24 hours a day across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each session has distinct characteristics in terms of volatility, liquidity, and price behavior. Understanding these sessions is crucial because:
Volatility Patterns: Each session exhibits unique volatility profiles based on which markets are open and which institutional players are active
Liquidity Concentration: Major price movements tend to occur when multiple sessions overlap, as more market participants are active simultaneously
Market Structure: Session highs and lows often act as key support and resistance levels that price respects throughout the trading day
Time-Based Strategies: Many professional traders structure their strategies around specific sessions that align with their preferred instruments and trading style
ICT Kill Zones
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology emphasizes specific time windows called "Kill Zones" - periods when institutional algorithms and smart money are most active. These time windows represent optimal trading opportunities because:
Institutional Activity: Banks, hedge funds, and large institutions execute their orders during these predictable time windows
Algorithmic Trading: Many institutional algorithms are programmed to operate during these specific periods
Liquidity Sweeps: Kill Zones often feature stop hunts and liquidity grabs before directional moves
Higher Probability Setups: Price is more likely to respect technical levels and follow through on setups during these periods
The four ICT Kill Zones are:
Asian Kill Zone (00:00-03:00 UTC): Early Asian session institutional activity
London Kill Zone (07:00-10:00 UTC): London open and European institutional entry
New York Kill Zone (12:00-14:00 UTC): New York open and North American institutional entry
London Close Kill Zone (15:00-17:00 UTC): European session close and position squaring
What This Indicator Visualizes
Trading Session Boxes
The indicator draws high-to-low range boxes for each major trading session:
Sydney Session (21:00-06:00 UTC): Captures the Australian and early Asian trading activity
Tokyo Session (00:00-09:00 UTC): Represents the main Asian trading period
London Session (08:00-17:00 UTC): Covers the European trading hours
New York Session (13:00-22:00 UTC): Encompasses North American trading activity
Each session box displays:
The session's high and low price levels
Customizable colored borders and fills
Labels showing the exact high and low values
Real-time updates as price moves within the active session
Session Overlaps
The indicator automatically identifies and highlights all session overlaps with distinct colored boxes:
Sydney/Tokyo Overlap: Asian liquidity concentration
Tokyo/London Overlap: Asian-European transition period
London/New York Overlap: The most volatile period with maximum liquidity
Sydney/New York Overlap: Late US session into early Asian session
These overlaps are crucial because they represent periods of increased liquidity when multiple major markets are operating simultaneously, often leading to significant price movements and breakouts.
ICT Kill Zones
Kill Zones are displayed as vertical background highlights that span the entire chart height during their active periods:
Visual clarity: Semi-transparent colored backgrounds that don't obstruct price action
Label identification: Each Kill Zone is labeled at its start for easy recognition
Overlay capability: Kill Zones overlay on top of session boxes, allowing you to see both simultaneously
Independent control: Each Kill Zone can be toggled on/off individually
How Traders Can Use This Indicator
Entry Timing
Wait for Kill Zones: Use Kill Zones as your primary trading windows to increase the probability of institutional support for your trades
Session Boundaries: Look for breakouts or reversals at session open/close times when new participants enter the market
Overlap Periods: Focus on high-conviction setups during session overlaps when liquidity is highest
Support & Resistance
Session Highs/Lows: Previous session highs and lows often act as key support/resistance levels
Sweep Setups: Watch for price to sweep session highs/lows during Kill Zones, then reverse (liquidity grab)
Range Trading: Trade within session ranges during low-volatility periods, breakout during overlaps
Risk Management
Volatility Awareness: Adjust position sizing based on which session is active (London/NY overlap = highest volatility)
Stop Placement: Position stops outside of key session levels to avoid being caught in normal intraday ranges
Time-Based Exits: Consider exiting or tightening stops as sessions close and liquidity decreases
Strategy Development
Session-Specific Strategies: Develop different approaches for different sessions based on your instrument's behavior
Kill Zone Confirmation: Require setups to occur within Kill Zones for higher probability trades
Backtesting Framework: Use historical session and Kill Zone data to backtest time-based strategies

Market Structure BOS - Session Based (5m, NY Time) This indicator visualizes market structure using a strict, rule-based
Break of Structure (BOS) logic, calculated on the 5-minute timeframe
and evaluated in New York time.
The script detects swing Highs and Lows based on candle direction
(bullish → bearish for Highs, bearish → bullish for Lows). From each
validated structure point, a horizontal level is drawn at the true
price extreme (wick included). Once created, structure levels never
repaint or move.
A Break of Structure is confirmed only when a candle CLOSES beyond
the most recent valid structure level:
- Bullish BOS: close above the latest High
- Bearish BOS: close below the latest Low
The indicator is trend-aware: once a bullish or bearish BOS is confirmed,
only BOS signals in the same direction are shown until the trend changes.
This prevents duplicate or redundant structure breaks during trends.
Session logic is fully integrated and based on New York time:
- Asia
- London (with pre-open range)
- New York (with pre-open range)
Structure levels and BOS logic can optionally reset at the end of each
New York trading day, keeping the chart clean and session-relevant.
The indicator is designed for traders who focus on intraday price action,
market structure, and session-based behavior without visual clutter.
No labels, alerts, or signals are plotted — only clean structure levels.
[LJ] RSIM + ICT KillzonesIndicator Summary
This Pine Script indicator is a comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It visually maps out crucial time-based trading sessions, killzones, and key opening price levels directly on the chart. Alongside the time and price tools, it features a real-time "RSIM" (MTF RSI Monitor) dashboard to track market momentum across multiple timeframes, all while maintaining a lag-free chart through automated drawing cleanup.
Core Functionalities
ICT Killzones & Silver Bullets:
Visually demarcates specific high-probability trading windows—including the Asian, London, and New York (AM & PM) killzones, as well as the UK and US "Silver Bullet" times—using vertical lines and colored background highlights.
Key Opening Price Levels:
Automatically plots horizontal lines for significant opening prices, such as the New York Midnight Open (often used as true day open), CME Open, and NY AM/PM Opens. It also includes Higher Time Frame (HTF) levels for Weekly and Monthly opens.
Session High/Low Tracking:
Actively tracks and draws horizontal price levels for the High and Low of the current day, previous day, and individual Globex, Asian, London, and NY sessions.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Dashboard (RSIM):
An on-chart table that displays the current Relative Strength Index (RSI) values and a live countdown timer ("time to close") for the 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, and Weekly timeframes.
Lunch "No-Trade-Zone":
Specifically highlights the New York Lunch period, visually warning traders of potential low-volume or erratic price action.
Automated Housekeeping:
A built-in memory management system that automatically deletes drawings (lines and labels) older than a user-defined number of days to prevent chart clutter and performance lag.
Built-in Debug Logger:
An optional on-chart logging table that tracks session triggers and script events, helping traders verify that times and levels are plotting correctly for their selected asset.
Key levels by Chav3zNY-Time Anchored Sessions
Visualizes the Asia, London, and New York sessions using customizable boxes or high/low lines. Unlike standard session indicators, this tool uses the America/New York time zone to ensure your session start and end times remain accurate throughout Daylight Savings changes.
2. Dynamic HTF Key Levels (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML)
Automatically plots the Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Highs and Lows.
Clean Intraday Origin: To prevent "chart clutter," these lines do not drag across the entire historical data. They originate at the start of the current day (NY Midnight), providing a clean horizontal reference for the current trading session.
Lookback Control: Choose how many days of historical key levels you want to remain visible on your chart.
3. Custom Time-Anchored Levels
Includes two fully customizable "Price Anchors" (e.g., Midnight Open, 09:30 AM NY Open).
Origin Point Precision: Lines start exactly at the candle of the specified time (e.g., 09:30) and extend forward, rather than drawing through the pre-market.
Price Capture: Choose to anchor to the Open, High, or Low of that specific timestamp.
4. Full Aesthetic Customization
Every level (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Custom) can be individually styled:
Color & Visibility: Set each level to your preferred color (Defaulted to Black for a clean look).
Line Style: Toggle between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines.
Thickness: Adjust the line width (1px, 2px, etc.) for better visibility on high-resolution screens.
How to Use
Midnight Open: Set Level 1 to 0000 to track the Daily Open, a crucial level for determining daily bias.
NY Open: Set Level 2 to 0930 to mark the "Opening Range" anchor for the New York session.
Liquidity Targets: Use the PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL levels to identify draw-on-liquidity areas for intraday scalp or swing setups.
Session Liquidity & FibsThis is a comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit designed for traders utilizing ICT concepts and time-based liquidity runs. The Session Liquidity & Fibs indicator automates the tedious process of marking up charts, allowing you to focus on price action and execution.
This indicator focuses on "Reverse Engineering" the daily narrative by plotting key sessions, mitigation lines, specific Fibonacci retracement setups, and Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity pools automatically.
Key Features:
1. Dynamic Session Killzones Automatically highlights key trading sessions with customizable boxes and extends the High/Low liquidity lines forward until they are mitigated (hit by price).
Asia Range: (Default 20:00 - 00:00)
London Session: (Default 02:00 - 05:00)
NY AM Session: (Default 09:30 - 11:00)
NY PM Session: (Default 13:30 - 16:00)
Note: Lines automatically cut off once price trades through them, keeping your chart clean.
2. Institutional Fibonacci Setups Auto-drawing Fibonacci anchors based on specific time windows to identify OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and key extensions.
Overnight Fib: Measures the range from 18:00 to 05:00.

Session Liquidity Raid ModelSession Liquidity Raid Model
This indicator helps you understand what each market session is doing with liquidity — without guessing, predicting, or over-complicating things.
It tracks the Asia, London, and New York sessions and shows you:
Where each session’s highs and lows are
Whether those levels have been taken (raided) or are still untouched
When New York is likely cleaning up liquidity left by London
The basic idea (very simple)
If London moves price strongly without taking Asia’s opposite side, New York often comes back to raid London levels first before the real move happens.
This indicator makes that process visible at a glance.
What it shows on the chart
Asia High & Low
London High & Low
Whether each level is taken or not
A simple Bullish / Bearish / Neutral session bias
Clean horizontal lines for key session levels
No buy or sell signals.
No indicators stacked on top of each other.
Just context.
How to use it
Use it to avoid bad trades, not force trades
Wait for liquidity to be taken before looking for entries
Combine it with your own price action, structure, or FVGs
If you trade CME_MINI:NQ1! , this helps you stay aligned with what New York is actually doing, instead of reacting late.
Important note
This is not a trading strategy and it does not predict the future.
It simply shows which session still owes liquidity and which one has already been cleared.
Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition) [ Alerts] Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition)
► Overview
The Session Ranges ( AMT Edition) is a session-based market structure and auction analysis tool designed to visually reveal acceptance, rejection, imbalance, and continuation across the Asia, London, and New York CME trading sessions.
Unlike typical indicators, this script is grounded in Auction Market Theory (AMT) and session-based structure, focusing on how price behaves at session extremes rather than relying on lagging calculations, oscillators, or predictive algorithms. Its purpose is to highlight areas where the market has earned the right to be traded, providing traders with a clear, rules-based framework for high-probability directional trades.
Important for backtesting: To properly backtest session extremes, Interaction Lines, and Closest Opposite Extreme Lines, you must use TradingView’s replay mode, as real-time bar-by-bar progression is required to observe how the market interacts with session extremes over time.
► Key Innovations
This is not a conventional session high/low indicator. Its originality comes from several unique design elements:
Differentiates interaction from true acceptance: Price touching an extreme does not automatically indicate directional intent.
Separates directional confirmation from range-bound indecision: Only confirmed crossings beyond the Interaction Line signal actionable bias.
Tracks failed auctions and partial acceptance: No volume profile or order book data required.
Visual, rule-based trade permission: Signals are objective, minimizing subjective interpretation.
Interaction & Closest Opposite Extreme Lines: Together, these lines map how far an auction progresses after an extreme is tested, highlighting continuation, partial acceptance, or failed auctions.
► Core Concepts Explained
1. Session Highs & Lows (Solid Lines)
Plotted continuously for each CME session (Asia, London, New York).
Represent the current auction boundaries for that session.
2. True Interaction Lines (Thick Dotted Lines)
Drawn when price touches or breaks a session extreme:
Touching session high → dotted line at the low of that candle
Touching session low → dotted line at the high of that candle
Auction context:
Touching alone ≠ acceptance
Acceptance occurs only when price moves beyond the Interaction Line and holds
Trading principle:
Price has not crossed → no directional bias → do not trade
Price crosses and holds → directional bias established
3. Acceptance vs Rejection
Accepted direction: Price crosses and holds beyond the Interaction Line
Rejected direction: Price crosses the line but immediately reverses
Neutral / No-Trade: Price trapped between extreme and Interaction Line
Important: Acceptance is conditional and dynamic. Each time price crosses back over the Interaction Line, acceptance is lost.
4. New Extremes = Continuation
Once an Interaction Line is crossed, each new session extreme in that direction reinforces the trend.
Traders should only look for continuation setups along the established directional bias.
AMT interpretation:
Repeated new extremes → directional imbalance
Failure to make new extremes → potential balance or rotation
5. Closest Opposite Extreme Lines (Thin Dotted Lines)
After acceptance, the script tracks price progress toward the opposite session extreme.
Plotted only if price reaches a user-defined percentage of the session range.
Helps identify:
Full acceptance (price reaches opposite extreme)
Partial acceptance (price stalls)
Failed auctions (price cannot progress meaningfully)
Trading guidance once Closest Lines appear:
Partial acceptance: Price stalls near the Closest Line but does not fully reach the opposite extreme → bias remains valid, but the move may be weakening; consider scaling out or tightening stops.
Full acceptance: Price reaches the opposite extreme → directional auction fully confirmed; bias continues, but expect potential rotation or balance afterward.
Failed auction (cannot progress meaningfully): Price reverses before reaching the Closest Line → signals exhaustion; avoid chasing the move and treat as potential trend failure.
Note: Only relevant after Interaction Line is crossed; if price never crosses the Interaction Line, Closest Lines have no trading significance.
► Step-by-Step Usage
Wait for a session extreme
Let price interact with the session high or low.
Observe the Interaction Line
No cross → do not trade
Cross and hold → directional bias established
Trade in the direction of new extremes only
Ignore counter-trend trades unless the Interaction Line is lost
Manage risk using structure
Interaction Line acts as a dynamic invalidation level
Use Closest Lines for context
Partial acceptance → bias valid, watch for weakening
Full acceptance → bias strong, continuation likely
Failed attempt → potential exhaustion, do not chase
Useful for trade management, scaling, and expectation setting
► Price Retests & Pullbacks
Scenario:
Price crosses above the Interaction Line (e.g., from a low interaction).
Over the next 3–4 15-minute bars, price dips back toward the Interaction Line, with wicks touching it but no decisive close below.
Interpretation:
Initial Acceptance Confirmed: Bias remains valid while price holds above/below the line.
Temporary Pullback / Retest: Market is re-evaluating the auction; testing participant agreement.
Wicks Touching the Line: Partial probing or liquidity sweep; market still respects original acceptance.
Trading Implication:
Continuation bias remains intact.
Pullbacks near the Interaction Line offer lower-risk entries.
Decisive close below → acceptance lost, signaling trend failure or invalidation.
Market Psychology:
Healthy auction behavior: extreme tested → acceptance confirmed → boundary retested for liquidity → continuation.
Failure to hold above signals weak acceptance or exhaustion.
✅ Key Takeaways:
Holding above Interaction Line → bias intact, pullback = opportunity
Closing below Interaction Line → acceptance lost, bias invalidated
Wicks touching only → normal retest, still valid
► No-Trade Conditions
Avoid trading when:
Price never crosses the Interaction Line
Price remains trapped between the extreme and the Interaction Line
Market rotates without forming new extremes
These indicate balance, not directional opportunity.
► Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price crosses an Interaction Line for:
Asia session
London session
New York session
Alerts signal possible acceptance, not automatic trade entries.
► Who This Script Is For
Best suited for traders who:
Trade session structure in futures, indices, or FX
Follow Auction Market Theory principles
Prefer objective, rules-based confirmation
Want fewer but higher-quality trade opportunities
Not intended for:
Indicator stacking
Predictive trading
High-frequency scalping without structure
► Final Notes
This script does not tell you when to buy or sell.
It shows where the market has earned the right to be traded.
Use it as a decision filter, not a prediction engine.

G Trade SessionsWe built this indicator because we was tired of guessing when major markets open and close. It draws simple boxes around each trading session so you can instantly see where the action is.
What it does:
Shows you the four key sessions — Asia, Frankfurt, London, and New York — as transparent boxes right on your chart. Each box marks the high and low of that session, which is super useful for spotting support/resistance levels.
Why I like it:
No clutter — boxes are subtle and don't get in the way
Labels switch from black to white automatically depending on your chart theme (dark or light)
Sessions don't overlap, so the chart stays clean
You can turn off any session you don't care about
Hope you find it useful!
