Alos Volume Profile Candles (SVP)ALOS Volume Profile Candles (SVP)
Summary
IMPORTANT: This indicator is designed to be used only with TradingView's 'Session Volume Profile' chart type. It will not work correctly with standard candle charts.
This indicator powerfully visualizes intra-session price action by dividing a single session profile into a specific number of equal-sized synthetic candles.
Instead of viewing a session as one single block, you can now break it down into parts (like quarters or thirds) to see how price behaved during each segment of the profile.
Key Features
Custom Session Slicing: Set "Candles per session" to 4 to see the session in quarters, 6 to see it in sixths, or any number you choose.
Full Session Control: Works perfectly with any custom session time, including complex overnight sessions (like '1800-1700' for CME crypto futures)
Accurate OHLC Calculation: Each synthetic candle correctly calculates and displays its own Open, High, Low, and Close for its specific time slice.
Clean Charting: Use the "Keep last sessions" input to control how many old sessions are drawn, preventing chart clutter and keeping your analysis focused on recent price action.
How to Use
On your TradingView chart, change the chart type to "Session Volume Profile".
Add the "ALOS Volume Profile Candles (SVP)" indicator to your chart.
Set your desired Session time in the indicator settings (or keep the default).
Choose the number of Candles per session you want to divide it into.
Adjust Keep last sessions to control how much history is displayed.
This tool is ideal for traders who want to analyze price behavior during the opening, middle, and closing parts of a session, or for breaking down long 24-hour crypto sessions into more manageable chunks.

ICT Sessions Ranges [SwissAlgo]ICT Session Ranges - ICT Liquidity Zones & Market Structure
OVERVIEW
This indicator identifies and visualizes key intraday trading sessions and liquidity zones based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology (AM, NY Lunch Raid, PM Session, London Raid). It tracks 'higher high' and 'lower low' price levels during specific time periods that may represent areas where market participants have placed orders (liquidity).
PURPOSE
The indicator helps traders observe:
Session-based price ranges during different market hours
Opening range gaps between market close and next day's open
Potential areas where liquidity may be concentrated and trigger price action
SESSIONS TRACKED
1. London Session (02:00-05:00 ET): Tracks price range during early London trading hours
2. AM Session (09:30-12:00 ET): Tracks price range during the morning New York session
3. NY Lunch Session (12:00-13:30 ET): Tracks price range during typical low-volume lunch period
4. PM Session (13:30-16:00 ET): Tracks price range during the afternoon New York session
CALCULATIONS
Session High/Low: The highest high and lowest low recorded during each active session period
Opening Range Gap: Calculated as the difference between the previous day's 16:00 close and the current day's 09:30 open
Gap Mitigation: A gap is considered mitigated when the price reaches 50% of the gap range
All times are based on America/New_York timezone (ET)
BACKGROUND INDICATORS
NY Trading Hours (09:30-16:00 ET): Optional gray background overlay
Asian Session (20:00-23:59 ET): Optional purple background overlay
VISUAL ELEMENTS
Horizontal lines mark session highs and lows
Subtle background boxes highlight each session range
Labels identify each session type
Orange shaded boxes indicate unmitigated opening range gaps
Dotted line at 50% gap level shows mitigation threshold
FEATURES
Toggle visibility for each session independently
Customizable colors for each session type
Automatic removal of mitigated gaps
All drawing objects use transparent backgrounds for chart clarity
ICT CONCEPTS
This tool relates to concepts discussed by Inner Circle Trader regarding liquidity pools, session-based analysis, and gap theory. The indicator assumes that session highs and lows may represent areas where liquidity is concentrated, and that opening range gaps may attract price until mitigated.
USAGE NOTES
Best used on intraday timeframes (1-15 minute charts)
All sessions are calculated based on actual price movement during specified time periods
Historical session data is preserved as new sessions develop
Gap detection only triggers at 09:30 ET market open
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It displays historical price levels and time-based calculations. Past performance of price levels is not indicative of future results. The identification of "liquidity zones" is a theoretical concept and does not guarantee that orders exist at these levels or that prices will react to them. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Users should conduct their own analysis and risk assessment before making any trading decisions.

ICT Killzones & MacrosICT Killzones & Macros (v1.1.5) — configurable ICT session windows + refined “macro” windows with live High/Low levels, optional extensions, next-window previews, and lightweight opening-price lines. Built to be clock-robust, timezone-aware, and performant on intraday charts.
Tip: All times are interpreted in your chosen IANA timezone (default: America/New_York) and auto-handle DST. You can rename, recolor, enable/disable, and retime every window.
What it plots
- Killzones (5) : Asia (19:00–02:00), London (02:00–05:00), NY AM (07:00–09:30), London Close (10:00–12:00), NY PM (13:30–16:00) — full-height boxes with optional header.
- Macros (8) (defaults tailored for common ICT “refined” windows): Asia-1 (18:00–21:00), Asia-2 (21:00–00:00), London-1 (01:00–04:00), AM-1 (09:45–10:15), AM-2 (10:45–11:15), Lunch (12:00–13:00), PM-1 (13:30–14:30), Power Hour (15:10–16:00).
- Live High/Low lines for the current Macro/Killzone window.
- Optional HL extension to the right until price crosses or the trading day rolls (style selectable).
- “Next” previews : earliest upcoming Macro and Killzone header; optional next-window background band.
- Opening Prices (3 lightweight time lines) : defaults 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 with right-edge labels, scoped to a session you choose (auto-cleans at session end).
- Key inputs & styling
- General : Timezone (IANA), “Sessions to show” (per window) to keep only the last N completed windows.
- Header : height (ticks), gap (ticks), fill opacity, border width/style, text size/color, toggle “Next Macro/Killzone” headers.
- Boxes : global fill opacity, global border width/style (used by both Macros & Killzones).
- High/Low : show HL, HL line style, extend on/off + extension style, optional extension labels.
- Opening Prices : enable Time 1/2/3, set HH:MM for each, session window, per-line colors, style (dotted/dashed/solid), width.
- Per-window controls : each Macro/Killzone has Enable, Session (HHMM-HHMM), Label, Fill color.
How to use (quick start)
- Set Timezone to your preference (default America/New_York).
- Toggle on the Macros and Killzones you trade. Adjust session times if needed.
- (Optional) Turn on Extend High/Low to project levels until crossed/day-roll.
- (Optional) Enable Next… headers to see the next upcoming window at a glance.
- (Optional) Configure Opening Prices (00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 by default) and the session over which they appear.
Behavior & notes
- Time windows are computed by clock, not by guessing bar timestamps, making them robust across brokers and timeframes.
- With HL extension on, the current window’s levels extend until crossed or the end of the trading day (in your timezone). With it off, completed windows keep static HL markers (limited by “Sessions to show”).
- “Sessions to show” applies per Macro/Killzone to automatically prune older windows and keep charts snappy.
- Opening-price lines exist only within the chosen “Opening Prices Session” and are removed when it ends (keeps charts clean).
Defaults (color cues)
Killzones: Asia (blue), London (purple), NY AM (green), London Close (yellow), NY PM (orange).
Macros: neutral greys with Lunch and PM accents out of the box (all customizable).
Performance tips
- Reduce “Sessions to show” if you scroll far back in history.
- Disable “Next…” previews and/or extension labels on very slow machines.
- Narrow the “Opening Prices Session” window to exactly when you need those lines.
Changelog highlights
- v1.1.5 : Internal refinements and stability.
- v1.1.3 : Live High/Low lines for current windows + optional extension.
- v1.1.2 : Added “next Killzone” preview (to match “next Macro”).
- v1.1.0 : Defaults updated (5 KZ, 8 Macros). Removed “snap-to-killzone” behavior.
- v1.0.0 : Independent Macro vs. Killzone rendering; cleaner header logic.
- Known limitations
If your chart warns about drawings, trim “Sessions to show”.
If your broker session times differ from NY hours, adjust the sessions or change the indicator timezone.

Elite Zone Master Pro - Advanced Multi-Session Trading System🚀 Elite Zone Master Pro - Advanced Multi-Session Trading System
🎯 ORIGINALITY & UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
Elite Zone Master Pro is NOT a simple mashup of existing indicators. It's a proprietary trading system that combines three distinct methodologies into a unified, synergistic approach:
Multi-Session Zone Analysis - Original algorithm for tracking global market sessions
Dynamic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) - Enhanced ORB with bias-aware signal filtering
Advanced Fair Value Gap Detection - Proprietary FVG identification with smart mitigation tracking
🔧 Why This Combination Works
The power lies in how these components work together, not separately:
Session zones provide market context and volatility windows
ORB system identifies key breakout levels during optimal timeframes
FVG detection pinpoints precise entry locations within the ORB framework
Integrated bias system filters signals based on range direction momentum
🧠 DETAILED METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
🌍 1. Multi-Session Zone Framework
What it does: Tracks and visualizes three major global trading sessions simultaneously.
How it works:
Dynamic zone tracking algorithm that calculates session highs/lows in real-time
Adaptive box rendering that expands/contracts based on actual price movement
Session overlap detection for identifying high-volatility periods
Time-weighted zone positioning using custom timezone calculations
Original concepts:
Simultaneous multi-session visualization (not found in standard session indicators)
Dynamic zone expansion based on volatility, not fixed time periods
Cross-session momentum analysis for bias determination
🎯 2. Enhanced Opening Range Breakout System
What it does: Identifies breakout opportunities from predefined session ranges with intelligent bias filtering.
How it works:
Multi-session ORB calculation: Supports US (16:30-16:45), EU (10:00-10:15), Asian (03:00-03:15), and custom sessions
Dynamic range establishment: Range is built in real-time during active session periods
Bias-aware signal filtering: Two-tier breakout system based on range midpoint momentum
Range direction analysis: Compares current range midpoint to previous session's midpoint
Original methodology:
Range Bias Calculation:
- If Current_Midpoint > Previous_Midpoint = Bullish Bias (+1)
- If Current_Midpoint < Previous_Midpoint = Bearish Bias (-1)
- If Current_Midpoint = Previous_Midpoint = Neutral Bias (0)
Signal Logic:
- Bullish Bias: Standard breakout above range high
- Bearish Bias: Enhanced breakout (range_high + 0.5 * range_width) for bullish signals
- Neutral Bias: Standard breakouts both directions
⚡ 3. Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
What it does: Identifies and tracks fair value gaps with automatic mitigation detection.
How it works:
Three-bar gap analysis: Compares current bar relationships to identify true gaps
Dynamic threshold calculation: Auto-adjusting sensitivity based on market volatility
Smart mitigation tracking: Automatically removes filled gaps from display
Directional bias integration: Color-codes gaps based on their directional implication
Proprietary algorithms:
Bullish FVG Criteria:
- Current_Low > High (gap condition)
- Close > High (confirmation)
- (Current_Low - High ) / High > Threshold (significance filter)
Bearish FVG Criteria:
- Current_High < Low (gap condition)
- Close < Low (confirmation)
- (Low - Current_High) / Current_High > Threshold (significance filter)
Mitigation Logic:
- Bullish FVG: Mitigated when Close < FVG_Low
- Bearish FVG: Mitigated when Close > FVG_High
📈 4. Session-Based Moving Average System
What it does: Calculates moving averages that reset and adapt to session boundaries.
How it works:
Session-aware length calculation: Effective length = min(bars_since_session_start, user_length)
Multiple MA types: EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA with session-specific calculations
Dynamic smoothing: Adapts to session length for consistent signals across different session durations
🔄 INTEGRATED SYSTEM SYNERGY
🎯 How Components Work Together
Context Layer: Session zones provide market timing context
Setup Layer: ORB system identifies breakout opportunities within optimal timeframes
Entry Layer: FVG detection pinpoints precise entry levels
Filter Layer: Bias system ensures alignment with momentum direction
Confirmation Layer: Session MA provides trend confirmation
🧭 Signal Generation Process
Step 1: Session Analysis
- Identify active trading session
- Calculate session volatility metrics
- Establish range boundaries
Step 2: Range Bias Calculation
- Compare current vs previous range midpoints
- Assign directional bias (-1, 0, +1)
- Adjust breakout thresholds accordingly
Step 3: Breakout Detection
- Monitor price interaction with range boundaries
- Apply bias-specific breakout criteria
- Generate preliminary signals
Step 4: FVG Confirmation
- Scan for fair value gaps within range
- Validate gap significance using dynamic thresholds
- Provide entry refinement opportunities
Step 5: Signal Validation
- Cross-reference with session MA direction
- Ensure alignment with overall bias
- Output final trading signals
📊 PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION
🎯 Trading Strategy Framework
Setup Phase:
Configure session times for your timezone
Enable preferred sessions (US/EU/Asian)
Adjust FVG sensitivity based on instrument volatility
Execution Phase:
Wait for range establishment during active session
Monitor for bias-aligned breakouts
Look for FVG retest opportunities
Enter trades with ORB-based stop losses
Risk Management:
Stop loss placement: Outside ORB range boundaries
Position sizing: Based on range width volatility
Trade direction: Must align with calculated range bias

ORB & Sessions [Capitalize Labs]ORB & Sessions Indicator
The ORB & Sessions Indicator provides a structured way to analyze intraday price action by combining two well-established concepts: global trading sessions and Opening Range Breakouts (ORB). It is designed to help traders identify where liquidity forms, when volatility expands, and how price behaves around key session and range levels.
Market Sessions Framework
Displays New York, London, and Asian sessions directly on the chart.
Each session can be shown as a highlighted background zone, or with extended highs and lows for liquidity tracking.
Session highs and lows remain projected forward after the session ends, allowing traders to monitor sweeps, retests, and reactions throughout the day.
Session times are fully customizable and can be aligned with the trader’s own timezone or broker feed.
This structure helps traders place price action into context, whether during quiet Asian trading, London-driven volatility, or New York reversals.
Opening Range Breakouts (ORB)
Supports three independent ORBs, each with configurable session times.
During the defined ORB window, the indicator captures the high and low of the range and plots a live updating box.
Once the ORB closes, the range locks and projects breakout targets (T1 and T2) based on user-defined risk-to-reward multiples.
Alerts are included for breakouts of highs, lows, or target levels.
Traders can use a single ORB or multiple—for example, tracking an Asian ORB into London, or London into New York.
Visualization and Clarity
Color-coded boxes and levels for sessions and ORBs.
Labels such as “Range High” and “Range Low” ensure clarity without clutter.
Flexible display settings allow highlighting full zones, just lines, or minimal markers depending on preference.
Practical Applications
This indicator is useful for:
Liquidity and volatility analysis: Observe where session highs and lows form and how they influence later trading.
Breakout and reversal strategies: Use ORB ranges to define risk and plan target projections.
Time-based research: Explore how different session overlaps or ORBs affect markets like indices, FX, and commodities.
Risk planning: Built-in R-multiple targets provide a consistent framework for evaluating setups.
Why It’s Different
Instead of showing sessions and ORBs separately, this indicator integrates them into one framework. Traders can:
See when and where sessions open and establish range levels.
Define precise ORBs with customizable timing.
Track breakout levels and targets in real time with alerts.
The result is a clear, time-structured view of the trading day, helping traders align setups with session dynamics and opening range behavior.
This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It is an analytical and visualization tool, providing structure for traders to better interpret intraday price action.
Simple Sessions & LevelsWhat this indicator does:
This script marks out two essential types of price levels for intraday and swing traders:
The high and low of a customizable 15-minute opening range after the market/session open.
The previous day’s high, midpoint (“halfback”), and low.
How it works:
The script lets you set the session start time (hour and minute) to match your market.
It then calculates the high and low of the first 15 minutes after the session opens and plots those as solid lines.
It also plots the prior day’s high, halfback (midpoint), and low on your chart for easy reference.
Each line and each label can be toggled on or off independently in the settings for maximum customization.
Colors for each level are also fully customizable.
How to use it:
Add the script to your chart.
Set the session start hour and minute to match the open of the market or instrument you trade.
Choose which levels and labels you want displayed by using the toggles in the settings.
The indicator will automatically draw the session range and prior day levels for you.
Use these lines as reference for key support, resistance, and potential trade entry/exit points.
What makes it unique and useful:
This tool combines a flexible session opening range with classic daily reference levels in one package. You have complete control over which levels and labels are shown, making it adaptable for any trading style. It’s especially useful for day traders who want to quickly identify volatility windows and the most important price levels from the previous session.

GG - LevelsThe GG Levels indicator is a tool designed for day trading U.S. equity futures. It highlights key levels intraday, overnight, intermediate-swing levels that are relevant for intraday futures trading.
Terminology
RTH (Regular Trading Hours): Represents the New York session from 09:30 to 17:00 EST.
ON Session (Overnight Session): Represents the trading activity from 17:00 to 09:29 EST.
IB (Initial Balance): The first hour of the New York session, from 09:30 to 10:30 EST.
Open: The opening price of the RTH session.
YH (Yesterday's High): The highest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YL (Yesterday's Low): The lowest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YC (Yesterday's Close): The daily bar close which for futures gets updated to settlement.
IBH (Initial Balance High): The highest price during the IB session.
IBL (Initial Balance Low): The lowest price during the IB session.
ONH (Overnight High): The highest price during the ON session.
ONL (Overnight Low): The lowest price during the ON session.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The volume-weighted average price that resets each day.
Why is RTH Important?
Tracking the RTH session is important because often times the overnight session can be filled with "lies". It is thought that because the overnight session is lower volume price can be pushed or "manipulated" to extremes that would not happen during higher volume times.
Why is the ON Session Important Then?
Just because the ON session can be thought as a "lie" doesn't mean it is relevant to know. For example, if price is stuck inside the ON range then you can think of the market as rotational or range-bound. If price is above the ON range then it can be thought of as bullish. If price is below the ON range then it can be thought as bearish.
What is IB?
IB or initial balance is the first hour of the New York Session. Typically the market sets the tone for the day in the first hour. This tone is similarly a map like the ON session. If we are above the IBH then it is bullish and likely a trend day to the upside. If we are below the IBL then it is bearish and likely a trend day to the downside. If we are in IB then we want to avoid conducting business in the middle of IBH and IBL to avoid getting chopped up in a range bound market.
These levels are not a holy grail
You should use this indicator as guide or map for context about the instrument you are trading. You need to combine your own technical analysis with this indicator. You want as much context confirming your trade thesis in order to enter a trade. Simply buying or selling because we are above or below a level is not recommended in any circumstance. If it were that easy I would not publish this indicator.
Adjustments
In the indicator settings you can adjust the RTH, ON, and IB session-time settings. All of the times entered must be in EST (Eastern Standard Time). You may want to do this to apply the levels to a foreign market.
Examples
Gross and Net LTF Volume + Trailing Percentile Sessions CVOL Hi Traders !
Gross volume, net lower time frame (LTF) volume and trailing session percentile Cumulative session volume:
The code calculates and plots the following volume indicators:
Volume (Gross Volume): The total volume for the current bar.
Net lower time frame volume: The difference between the buy and sell volumes of the lower time frame.
Cumulative daily session volume: The cumulative sum of the volume for the current day.
Percentile Cumulative daily session volume: The percentile of the cumulative daily session volume (calculated on a rolling basis).
The above indicators may be plotted exclusively or exclusively.
Why is Volume important:
Volume is the number of shares or contracts traded (of a financial asset) during a given time period (timeframe). It is a crucial indicator in technical analysis and quantitative trading, as volume helps in identifying
Price Confirmation: Volume confirms price movements by indicating the level of interest and participation in the market. When prices move significantly, accompanied by strong volume, it suggests that the movement is likely to be sustained. Conversely, if prices move without significant volume, it suggests that the movement may be temporary or lacking conviction.
Trend Strength: Volume can help identify the strength and direction of a trend. During an uptrend, increasing volume alongside price increases indicates that the upward momentum is gaining traction. Conversely, decreasing volume during an uptrend suggests that the upward momentum may be weakening.
Reversal Points: Sharp volume spikes in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend can signal a potential reversal point. This is because large volume indicates a significant shift in trader sentiment, suggesting that the trend may be changing direction.
Liquidity: High volume indicates that a security is liquid, meaning that it can be easily bought and sold without significant price impact. Liquidity is important for traders who want to execute large orders without significantly affecting the market price.
For example, suppose we want to identify positive price confirmation and positive trend strength, in this case we may use the CVOL (with trailing percentile).
The above image showcases price expansion conditional on high positive volume (increasing CVOL), The price expansion also exhibits Volume confluences (the colored bars).
Positive Confluence: Increase in positive total volume and an increase in positive lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Negative Confluence : Increase in negative total volume and an increase in negative lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Also note how the percentile color does not change, this means that the new volume bars are > than the highest percentile (80%) of volume values from the beginning of the session.
Bot Controller V1.1This script allows you to define various trading sessions with alerts for when the session starts and ends. This allows you to do things like switch your trading bots off while you are sleeping.
It starts with default settings for weekday daytime, evening, nighttime, and weekends
Setup recommendations:
Use the Timezone setting in the indicator to match your trading view timezone setting to have alerts triggered when you expect
Add alerts from a lower TF e.g 1min chart
Use once per bar for the alerts
Notes on alerts:
If you have a session stop then immediately have another starting with no time break in between the start/stop alerts may overlap/trigger at the same time so it's probably best just to use the stop or start alerts for each session.
FXN - Asian Session RangeThe Asian Session Range is an indicator that draws a box around the Asian session range which runs from 20.00 pm to 02.00 am EST. It then provides lines that extend into the London and New York sessions that identify the high, low and mid-range of the Asian session.
The indicator is designed to be used on the 15 minute timeframe, although it does work on any timeframe up to a from 1 minute to a 4 hour chart, after which the indicator does not make any sense. All settings from session times, line width, style and colors can be changed through the settings, with the default configuration being for the Asian session and the light-themed user interface of TradingView.
Opening Range & Session Liquidity [LTS]“Opening Range & Session Liquidity ” is an intraday planning tool that combines a configurable Opening Range box with session highs/lows and previous-day reference levels. It is designed to help you visualize where liquidity is likely to build up around the cash open and major global sessions, without making any forecasts or performance promises. It is designed with our signature attention to user customization and accessibility.
Opening Range & Bias
The script builds a configurable Opening Range (OR) in New York time (default 08:00–08:15 on a 15-minute basis), regardless of your chart timeframe (up to 1-hour). The high, low, and midline of this window are drawn as a transparent box and dashed midline that extend forward so you can see how the session trades around that range.
At a user-defined Bias Check Time (default 09:30–09:31 NY), the script classifies the OR as:
Bullish if price is above the OR high
Bearish if price is below the OR low
Neutral if price is still trading inside the OR
The box color updates to reflect the current bias if bias mode is enabled. All OR parameters (formation window, bias check, colors, maximum number of zones, etc.) are adjustable.
Entry Signal Logic
The indicator can optionally generate non-repainting visual signals when price interacts with the OR midline.
1. 9:30 Bias mode (trend-following)
A directional bias is locked in at the bias check time.
Signals trigger only when price trades through the OR midline inside the box, aligned with that bias:
Bullish bias → long signal when price touches the midline from below and closes inside the range.
Bearish bias → short signal when price touches the midline from above and closes inside the range.
Each “episode” can fire only once; signals are confirmed on the bar where the conditions first become true.
2. Entry Direction mode (reaction to first touch)
Instead of using a fixed 9:30 bias, the script detects from which side price first enters the OR (from above or from below).
That “entry direction” stays active until price fully exits and closes outside the OR again.
When price later touches the midline while the entry direction is defined, a single long or short signal is triggered based on the stored direction of entry.
In both modes, historical signals are plotted without using future data; only the real-time bar can change state until it closes.
Optional TP/SL Visualization
When a long or short signal appears, the script can draw simple take-profit/stop-loss boxes to illustrate a basic one-trade idea:
Stop-loss distance can be defined as:
A fixed number of points beyond the OR high/low, or
A percentage of ATR (configurable length and percent).
Take-profit is automatically placed at a user-defined risk-to-reward multiple of that stop distance.
The boxes extend forward bar by bar and stop updating once either TP or SL is touched, or when a new OR session resets the context.
These boxes are for visualization only and do not place or manage orders.
Session Liquidity & PDH/PDL
To help you map where liquidity frequently builds up, the script tracks three configurable intraday sessions in New York time:
Asian session (default 18:00–02:00)
London session (default 03:00–08:00)
New York session (default 09:30–16:00)
For each completed session, the indicator records the session high and low, then:
Draws solid horizontal lines and labels (e.g., “Asia Hi/Lo”, “London Hi/Lo”, “NY Hi/Lo”).
Extends these solid lines to the right as long as they remain untouched by price.
When price first trades through a level, the solid line is cut at that bar and replaced by a dashed line that extends only until the next session of the same type begins.
Older sessions are automatically removed according to the “Max Sessions to Display” setting to reduce chart clutter.
In addition, the indicator plots:
Previous Day High (PDH) & Previous Day Low (PDL)
Previous Day Point of Control (PDPoC) – an approximate volume-weighted price computed from intraday data using a simple binning approach on a user-chosen lower timeframe.
Like the session levels, PDH/PDL/PDPoC start as solid lines. After the first touch, each level switches to a dashed style and continues only until the following trading day, at which point the previous day’s dashed lines are stopped and new levels are created.
Info Table & Multi-Timeframe Logic
An optional on-chart info table summarizes the most recent Opening Range:
OR high, low, and midline
Current OR range in points
Active mode (9:30 Bias vs. Entry Direction)
Current bias or entry-direction status
Whether a signal is “Waiting”, “Armed”, or “Triggered”
Whether the OR was built from the chart timeframe or from a 15-minute higher-timeframe feed
If your chart timeframe is higher than the OR calculation timeframe, the script automatically uses multi-timeframe data to build a consistent OR, while enforcing a maximum chart timeframe of 1-hour for reliability.
How to Use This Tool
Use the OR box and bias to define your primary intraday context around the cash open.
Use session highs/lows and PDH/PDL/PDPoC as objective reference levels for where price may react or where stops and liquidity might cluster.
Treat the signal markers and TP/SL boxes as visual guides only. They can help you structure trade ideas, but they are not a trading system by themselves.
Always confirm levels and signals with your own analysis, risk management, and execution rules.
Limitations & Notes
The script is intended for intraday charts up to 1-hour. By the nature of the information being displayed, any time frame above that may result is undesirable visual clutter.
The POC calculation is an approximation based on lower timeframe bar-level volume and binning; it is not a tick-by-tick volume profile.
Signals and levels update in real time on the current forming bar. Once a bar closes, completed historical signals do not repaint, but the last live bar can change until it closes.
The indicator does not use lookahead or offset plotting into the past; it is not designed to predict the future or guarantee any particular trading result.
Always test settings on a demo environment first and manage risk according to your own plan.
