ICT Macro Sessions by @zeusbottradingICT Macro Sessions Indicator The ICT Macro Sessions Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who follow the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and want to optimize their trading during specific high-probability time intervals. This indicator highlights all the key macro sessions throughout the trading day in the GMT+8 (Hong Kong) time zone. What Does the Indicator Do? This indicator visually marks ICT Macro Sessions on your trading chart using background colors and optional labels. Each session corresponds to specific time intervals when institutional activity is most likely to drive price action. By focusing on these periods, traders can align their strategies with market volatility and liquidity, increasing their chances of success. Highlighted Sessions The indicator covers all major ICT Macro Sessions, each with a unique color for easy identification: London Macro 1 (15:33–16:00 GMT+8): - Marks the early London session, often characterized by strong directional moves. London Macro 2 (17:03–17:30 GMT+8): - Captures the mid-London session, where price frequently reacts to liquidity levels. New York AM Macro 1 (22:50–23:10 GMT+8): - Highlights the start of the New York session, a prime time for price reversals or continuations. New York AM Macro 2 (23:50–00:10 GMT+8): - Focuses on late-morning New York activity, often aligning with key news releases. New York Lunch Macro (00:50–01:10 GMT+8): - Covers the lunch period in New York, where price may consolidate or set up for afternoon moves. New York PM Macro 1 (02:10–02:40 GMT+8): - Tracks post-lunch activity in New York, often featuring renewed volatility. New York PM Macro 2 (04:15–04:45 GMT+8): - Captures late-session moves as institutional traders finalize their positions. Features of the Indicator Fixed Time: The indicator is pre-configured for GMT+8 but it will adapt automatically to your timezone. No need to change anything in the code. Background Highlighting: Each session is visually marked with a unique background color for quick recognition. Optional Labels: Traders can enable or disable labels for each session, providing flexibility in how information is displayed. Session Toggles: You can choose which sessions to display based on your trading preferences and strategy. Intraday Timeframes: The indicator is optimized for intraday charts with timeframes of 45 minutes or less. You can change it to anything you like. Why Use This Indicator? The ICT Macro Sessions Indicator helps traders focus on the most critical times of the trading day when institutional activity is at its peak. These periods often coincide with significant price movements, making them ideal for scalping, day trading, or even swing trading setups. By visually highlighting these sessions, the indicator eliminates guesswork and allows traders to plan their trades with precision.

Crypto Market Sessions (Institutional) by Ambrosia-Prime v1.2Crypto Market Sessions (Institutional) by Ambrosia-Prime Understand when liquidity matters – and when it doesn’t. This indicator visualizes global crypto market sessions based on institutional liquidity, not retail exchange opening hours or local banking schedules. It is designed to help traders identify high-impact trading windows, potential volatility expansions, and periods of reduced participation — directly on the chart, in a clean and reliable way. What this indicator does • Highlights the major institutional crypto liquidity sessions • Displays local session times with automatic DST handling • Marks Asia, Europe, EU–US overlap, USA and No-Market phases • Treats weekends as structurally low-liquidity periods • Issues holiday warnings when institutional participation is likely reduced All session logic is UTC-based, making it stable and consistent across all symbols and timeframes. Institutional session model (UTC) • Asia: 00:00 – 08:00 • Europe: 07:00 – 13:30 • EU–US Overlap: 13:30 – 16:30 • USA: 16:30 – 21:00 • No Market: 21:00 – 00:00 During the Asia–Europe overlap (07:00–08:00 UTC), both sessions are active. Europe is visually prioritized due to typically higher institutional volume. Key features • True institutional session logic (FX & derivatives driven) • Automatic DST support via IANA timezones • Optional manual timezone offset • Session background highlighting • Forward-projected session box • Current-session label (no historical clutter) • Compact session table with local times • Algorithmic holiday warning engine (no web data): – Easter-based holidays (EU / UK) – Nth-weekday holidays (US / UK) – Optional observed-day handling Why this matters Markets move with liquidity, not with office hours.

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.
