Trading Session IndicatorThis indicator is basically just a back-testing tool. All it does is highlight the background of your charts with the specified color within the specified timezone.
This is useful particularly for back-testing purposes, such as testing a day-trading strategy within a particular period of the day or ignoring signals that fall within the given timeframe (which is useful for ignoring setups during your testing that appear while you're asleep or at work etc.)
Take it easy :)

Zone
Dynamic Structure IndicatorThis is a dynamic structure indicator designed to map potential support and resistance zones (in all markets). It does this by looking back x amount of candles to identify major swing highs and lows on the specified reference timeframe, and then it draws a zone between the highest/lowest wick and the highest/lowest candle close across the chart until a new zone is created.
The settings are important because it gathers data from a separate reference timeframe, so sometimes it will map zones that aren’t really appropriate for lower timeframes. On lower timeframes (1Hr and under) I’d recommend setting the reference timeframe to your actual trading timeframe and increasing the lookback period to fine-tune the zone mapping. The script is set for 4 Hour forex charts by default.
Please note: the max zone option is disabled by default because it is different for every instrument, but this is a useful feature that I recommend using. Sometimes the indicator picks up huge gaps that aren’t really considered support or resistance zones. If this happens to you, use the zone size settings to invalidate huge (or tiny) zones. The zone size is in pips.
To be honest I didn’t get this indicator to be quite as accurate as I envisioned and it’s still a work in progress as I learn pine script, but this is the best I’ve been able to get it to function and with the right settings it works fairly well so I figured I might as well release this first version. Maybe someone with better skills than me can help refine it to more accurately identify major fractals and levels - if so, please get in touch! All traders should be able to identify their own major levels by eye anyway, but this script is intended to be a building block for future signal indicators I wish to develop.
Last of all - please don’t use this indicator to trade blindly! Often price will blast right through these zones and the zones aren’t always accurate. Remember that structure levels only work if they’re obvious to other traders, and always wait for confirmation signals that meet your trade plan rules before entering trades – especially reversals or counter-trend trades.
If you have any questions or tips to improve the script, feel free to leave a comment or private message me.
Enjoy, and good luck out there :)

Critical Support & Resistance Level (supply & demand zone)Support & Resistance Level and Supply & Demand Zone are very common and popular jargon in technical analysis.
What is the difference between Support & Resistance Level and Supply & Demand Zone?
In my opinion, Support & Resistance Level is the value of price that tested couple times and hard to break. The zone is formed by two adjacent levels where price may oscillate between those two levels.
Imagine the levels as horizontal lines, and the zones are areas between two horizontal lines.
Why are they important?
In a nutshell, they indicate where the price direction may reverse so you can act accordingly.
There are a couple methods to draw the Support & Resistance Level and Supply & Demand Zone, In most case, people will use swing high or low, or pivot points as the level. But there are too many of them, and not all pivot points will become Support & Resistance Level.
Some of the support or resistance level is hard to break, but after the price break through that level, resistance will become support and vice versa, I define it as Critical Level .
If you draw a critical support or resistance level from the current bar and move backward to where it started, you will notice that some levels are formed by the pivot points from hundreds of bars ago. It's impossible to discover the Critical Levels if you don't have enough bars loaded on chart.
The purpose of this indicator is to plot critical support and resistance level automatically on chart.
It will work on all market, Stock, Forex and Futures. It also works on all timeframes.
Inputs:
The Strength inputs control the intensity of Support & Resistance Level.
The Alert input is the switch of alert function.
By enable Enhanced mode, the indicator will be more critical.
Check Showline input to plot level lines on chart, otherwise, it will plot zones only.
Time zoneRegular script to allocate the specified time range within a day.
TradingView in time is specified by UTC. I Moscow time (GMT +3) and the time specified in the script Default 1:00 - 13:00 Moscow time equal 09:00 - 21:00 ie -8 Hours from the Moscow time (-7 in summer).
========== ==========
Обычный скрипт для выделения указанного диапазона времени внутри дня.
Время в TradingView указывается по UTC. У меня московское время (GMT +3) и время указанное в скрипте по умолчания 01:00 - 13:00 по московскому времени равняется 09:00 - 21:00 , т.е. -8 часов от московского времени (-7 в летнее время).

The Zone Trades v1.0The Zone is mention in New Trading Dimensions by Bill Williams,PhD.
The Zone is used for Entry Signal
Green Zone are painting Green Bars when Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerater/Decelerator (AC) are both increasing.
Red Zone are painting Red Bars when Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerater/Decelerator (AC) are both decreasing.
Gray Zone are painting Gray Bars AO and AC in difference changing
Gray Zone are indicate the indecision between bulls and bears.
Bill Williams, PhD. mention that Green Zone or Red Zone usually happen 6-8 bars Continuously.
The First Bar that change to be Green or Red color is the Signal Bar.
Entry Signal is the second bar in the same color as the Signal bar happen with Volume
Price go higher the high of previous Green Bar is Buy Signal. Entry Buy (Long) and place Stop at 1 tick lower the Low of previous bar.
Price go ;ower the Low of previous Red Bars is Sell Signal. Entry Sell (Short) and place Stop at 1 tick higher the High of previous bar.
Do not Entry if Green Bars or Red Bars completed 5 bars continuously.

ZoneBarsBill Williams Zone and Squat Bars. See New Trading Dimensions by Bill Williams, PhD.
Bars are green (green zone) when the Awesome Oscillator and Accelerator/Decelerator are both positive.
Bars are red (red zone) when the Awesome Oscillator and Accelerator/Decelerator are both negative.
Bars are blue when a squat bar is formed, these indicate a battle between bulls and bears and often happen near trend continuation or trend changes.
Caution: Assumes chart is a bar chart - not a candle chart.
Caution: Squat bars are accurate only with official exchange volume data - BATS data will give false squat bars.
