Worldwide Sessions and Open Range BreakoutThis script shows when the various normal market hours for each of the major worldwide markets (Asia, New York, and London). It also draws a line on the opening range for each of these market sessions. The opening range defaults to the first 15 minutes of the session, but this can be customized. This script does automatically handle the session times regardless of your time zone or what time frame you are on. No need to set anything! This probably can't handle non-normal trading days, such as partial days. This script is made for futures, but would likely work for other markets, like Forex.

Custom Colored Session (Pre, Open, Close, Post, Outside)Another script enabling coloring of sessions. Variables for all session timings and colors are exposed. Backgrounds and/or dividers can be enabled. If you only want dividers, just uncheck all of the background sections. Note: Due to the way weekends are handled on some exchanges, displaying the divider on Friday is not possible. Note: Displaying backgrounds or dividers in the future does not seem to be possible. I would gladly add this if I can figure it out.

SMC Sessions NYThis script plots vertical session markers on the chart to highlight session opens and closes based on New York time. Key characteristics: The indicator is plotted on the price chart (overlay). It draws thin, dotted vertical lines at specific session times. Sessions are calculated using the America/New_York timezone to ensure correct alignment. Only weekdays (Monday to Friday) are considered. The script draws sessions for today and up to one week back (maximum 7 calendar days). All drawings are created once on the last bar to avoid duplicates and performance issues. Each session has its own color for clear visual distinction: Asia session (open) London session (open and close) New York / Kill Zone Morning (open and close) Lunch session (open and close) New York / Kill Zone Afternoon (open and close) The Asia session open at 20:00 NY is intentionally excluded on Fridays, as there is no valid Asia session start on Friday evening. The vertical lines extend across the entire visible price range of the chart. The script is optimized to stay well within TradingView object limits. Purpose: The indicator is designed to give traders a clean, non-intrusive visual reference for key session transitions, helping to analyze price behavior around session opens and closes without cluttering the chart. This approach is suitable for intraday and session-based trading models, including SMC-style workflows.

Apex Edge - London Open Session# Apex Edge - London Open Session Trading System ## Overview The London Open Session indicator captures institutional price action during the first hour of the London forex session (8:00-9:00 AM GMT) and identifies high-probability breakout and retest opportunities. This system tracks the session's high/low range and generates precise entry signals when price breaks or retests these key institutional levels. ## Core Strategy **Session Tracking**: Automatically identifies and marks the London Open session boundaries, creating a trading zone from the first hour's price range. **Dual Entry Logic**: - **Breakout Entries**: Triggers when price closes beyond the session high/low and continues in that direction - **Retest Entries**: Activates when price returns to test the broken level as new support/resistance **Performance Analytics**: Built-in win rate tracking displays real-time performance statistics over user-defined lookback periods, enabling data-driven optimization for each currency pair. ## Key Features ### Automated Zone Detection - Precise London session timing with timezone offset controls - Visual session boundaries with customizable colours - Automatic high/low range calculation and display ### Smart Entry System - Breakout confirmation requiring candle close beyond zone - Retest detection with configurable pip distance tolerance - Separate risk/reward ratios for breakout vs retest entries - Visual entry arrows with clear trade direction labels ### Performance HUD - Real-time win rate calculation over customizable periods (7-365 days) - Total trades tracking with win/loss breakdown - Average risk-reward ratio display - Color-coded performance metrics (green >70%, yellow >50%, red <50%) ### PineConnector Integration - Direct MT4/MT5 execution via PineConnector alerts - Proper forex pip calculations for all currency pairs - Customizable risk percentage per trade - Symbol override capability for broker compatibility - Automatic SL/TP level calculation in pips ## Critical Usage Requirements ### Pair-Specific Optimization Each currency pair requires individual optimization due to varying volatility characteristics, institutional participation levels, and typical price ranges during London hours. The performance HUD is essential for identifying optimal settings before live trading. **Recommended Testing Process**: 1. Apply indicator to desired currency pair and timeframe 2. Experiment with session timing - while 8:00-9:00 AM GMT is standard, some pairs may show improved performance with alternative hourly windows (e.g., 7:00-8:00 AM or 9:00-10:00 AM) 3. Adjust Stop Loss distances, Risk/Reward ratios, and Retest distances 4. Monitor win rate over 30+ day periods using the performance HUD 5. Only proceed with live alerts once consistent 60%+ win rates are achieved 6. Create separate optimized chart setups for each profitable pair/timeframe combination ### Timeframe Specifications This indicator is specifically designed and tested for: - **1-minute charts**: Optimal for capturing immediate institutional reactions - **5-minute charts**: Balanced approach between noise reduction and opportunity frequency Higher timeframes generally produce inferior results due to increased noise and reduced institutional edge during the London session window. ## Settings Configuration ### Session Timing - **London Open/Close Hours**: Adjust for your chart's timezone - **Rectangle End Time**: Set to 4:30 PM to stop signals before NY session close - **Timezone Offset**: Ensure accurate London session capture ### Entry Parameters - **Retest Distance**: 3-8 pips depending on pair volatility - **Stop Loss Pips**: Separate settings for breakouts (10-15 pips) and retests (8-12 pips) - **Risk/Reward Ratios**: Independent ratios for different entry types ### PineConnector Setup - **License ID**: Your PineConnector license key - **Symbol Override**: MT4/MT5 symbol names if different from TradingView - **Risk Percentage**: Position size as percentage of account balance - **Prefix/Comment**: Organize trades in terminal ## Manual Trading Limitations Without PineConnector automation, traders face significant practical challenges: **Settings Management**: Each currency pair requires different optimized parameters. Switching between charts means manually adjusting multiple settings each time, creating potential for errors and missed opportunities. **Timing Sensitivity**: London Open signals can occur rapidly during high-volatility periods. Manual execution may result in slippage or missed entries. **Multi-Pair Monitoring**: Tracking 4-11 currency pairs simultaneously while manually adjusting settings for each switch becomes impractical for most traders. **Parameter Consistency**: Risk of using suboptimal settings when quickly switching between pairs, potentially compromising the careful optimization work. ## Recommended Workflow 1. **Historical Testing**: Use win rate HUD to identify profitable pairs and optimal parameters 2. **Demo Automation**: Test PineConnector alerts on demo accounts with optimized settings 3. **Live Implementation**: Deploy alerts only on proven profitable pair/timeframe combinations 4. **Ongoing Monitoring**: Regular review of performance metrics to maintain edge ## Risk Disclaimer This indicator provides analysis tools and automation capabilities but does not guarantee profitable trading outcomes. Past performance does not predict future results. Users should thoroughly backtest and demo trade before risking live capital. The London session strategy works best during specific market conditions and may underperform during low volatility or unusual market environments. ## Support Requirements Successful implementation requires: - Basic understanding of London session market dynamics - PineConnector subscription for automation features - Patience for proper optimization process - Realistic expectations about win rates and drawdown periods This system is designed for serious traders willing to invest time in proper optimization and risk management rather than plug-and-play solutions.

Market Trading Sessions (TG Fork)Visualize trading sessions opening hours of several international exchanges on a grid. Contrary to other indicators, this one automatically aligns the session with the current chart's timezone. This is helpful for bar replay or manual backtesting, to spot patterns of correlations (this can also be used in conjunction with correlation indicators, see my other indicators). Original indicator by Gunzo, if you like this indicator, please show the original author some love: This indicator is also inspired by the following indicators: ZenAndTheArtOfTrading with UnknownUnicorn468659 with This fork implements the following features: Converted to PineScript v5. Adapted default color palette to dark mode, as is the default in TradingView now. Fix drawing issues, now the design shows as it was originally meant to be. Fixed mistiming issue that made some sessions display with a delay compared to the real session, especially the first session was bar at the start of the session was not displayed. Inputted the accurate timings for each session, instead of the default 0800-1600 in the original indicator. Essentially, you can just add this indicator and it should work out of the box. If not, please let me know, and I'll try to fix it!

Futures Exchange Sessions 2.0Description Successor to Futures Exchange Sessions indicator. Completely rebuilt code from the ground up. Every feature has been redesigned and refactored to be the most beneficial while allowing for complete configuration by the user. This indicator displays Futures Sessions as live boxes that expand dynamically as price moves over the time interval. These boxes make liquidity levels extremely easy to spot and visualize. It helps the user identify market structure and develop their own bias of price action. Everything about the Session boxes can be configured. Box color, border color, border style, and border width are all individually controllable. Each Future Session can be turned on or off at any time. Also, each box has their own text label (Asian Session, London Session, New York Session) and this text can be moved around the box, change color, and change size. Previous days highs and lows (major liquidity levels) are always important to the futures trader. This indicator now allows the user to individually display the three previous days highs and low levels as lines with optional label. Each line can be independently toggled on or off and like always, every conceivable customization option is available to the user. And the labels can be moved to the right (via the Input Settings) to allow unobstructed views of candles. The midnight EST open and 8:30 AM EST open horizontal lines (developed by the Inner Circle Trader) are returning in this indicator. But the biggest improvement is that the lines stop at the current bar or the last bar of the trading day. Additionally, the time lines are displayed on previous days so the user can easily see how the candles reacted to these important times of the day. The Session boxes and the horizontal time lines now can be set to only display a certain number of day back. If the user wants just to see Session boxes for the previous day only, they can do that. If the user wants to see the last 15 days of boxes or lines it is very easy to increase the days back in the settings. Currently, the max days back is 80 calendar days. Additional Images Easily visualize and understand price action across time Everything is customizable so the user can easily match this indicator to their color preferences Special Notes To turn off box session text set opacity to 0% Boxes and horizontal time lines only display when timeframe is <= 30 minute

[DisDev] 12 Candle|Round#|Future SessionsThis indicator has many components; below, each component is explained and how it can be used as a trading tool. 1) Future Lines a. Vertical lines are projected into the future to mark the beginning of each of the three major markets, Tokyo, London, and New York. b. When major markets open, this can cause an increase in price action. So this component provides the trader with a reminder of when the next major market opens. c. Also, the days of the week are displayed to allow the user to backtest price reaction for certain days of the week easily (e.g., Major Markets reopening after the weekend). 2) 12 Hour Candle Sessions High and Low a. As price intersects with the beginning of the session, the vertical line disappears, and two corresponding horizontal lines begin. These horizontal lines dynamically adjust to mark each session's high and low, and a semi-transparent box fills the space between the high and low lines. b. The duration of each session is a three-hour window, which each consists of 12 Fifteen-Minute Candles. This marks the hour prior to equity markets open, the opening hour, and the post-open hour. c. The sessions highs and lows can be selected within the settings show for a 24 hour period. This assists the trader with session range breakouts; three examples of how this could be traded are below. Example 1 d. The Tokyo and London session high kept the price action within a range. Once it broke the range, the Tokyo and London session highs were used as support, resulting in a range breakout. Example 2 e. The below picture shows price action failing to break London Session Low and New York Session High; this is followed by Tokyo Low acting as resistance and price moving down 9%. Example 3 f. Below price action with an increased volume of 323% (based on the average of the last 10 bar) fails to break the Tokyo High on the 1st attempt. The second attempt fails on 241% volume. The third attempt at 475% breaks the range, completing the range breakout seeing a move of 3.4% in price. 4) High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD) a. As the trading day unfolds, we mark the HOD (d-High) and LOD (d-Low) with blue dotted horizontal lines. Then at the start of the next trading day, the former High and Low become the Previous Day High (pd-High) and Low (pd-Low) and are changed to dashes. b. These high and low levels add extra confluence with the session high and lows for Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) and confirmation of trends. 5) Round Numbers a. As humans, it's hard to use just any number to make sense of things. We prefer to use round numbers. This is important for trading as many traders will automatically use round numbers as their stop losses. b. This indicator component reminds users of this fact and displays round numbers such as 00, 25, 50, and 75. The indicator automatically calculates and displays lines for the round numbers for as many as twelve levels above and below the current price. c. Below are examples of how round numbers are broken to trigger stop losses; you may want to break the habit of using round numbers as your stop losses. Below is the indicator in full swing, displaying all the elements described above.

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!
