macro time ranges
This indicator is a professional session-range visualization tool designed for intraday trading. It automatically highlights predefined New York (EST/EDT) institutional time windows using dynamic orange boxes directly on the price chart.
The indicator tracks the high and low formed during each selected session and continuously expands the box as price develops within that time range. A labeled timestamp is displayed beneath every box for quick session identification.
Marked EST trading windows:
* 08:50 – 09:10
* 09:50 – 10:10
* 10:50 – 11:10
* 11:50 – 12:10
* 01:10 – 01:40 PM
* 03:15 – 03:45 PM
Core Features:
* Automatic EST/EDT timezone handling
* Dynamic session high-low range boxes
* Clean orange institutional-style visualization
* Session labels displayed under each range
* Optimized for lower timeframes (1m–15m)
* Useful for ICT, SMC, liquidity sweep, breakout, and killzone trading models
Professional Trading Applications:
* Session range breakout trading
* Liquidity sweep identification
* Intraday volatility analysis
* Institutional timing reference
* Smart Money Concept execution
* News and market open reaction analysis
This tool is especially effective for highly volatile markets such as XAUUSD, NAS100, US30, SPX500, and Bitcoin where timing-based liquidity movements are critical.
