Session Range Box

Session Range Box

A universal tool that draws the range of a chosen session as a box. The trader
sets the conditions: the session, the timezone, and the window. The borders are
built from the session highs and lows - an area of potential liquidity, since
resting orders tend to build up above the highs and below the lows.

This is a tool, not a signal system. It gives a clean, non-repainting map of the
range. How to use it is up to the trader's own strategy.

How It Works

1. Accumulation window. The trader sets the session time in their own timezone.
The highest high and the lowest low inside this window become the box borders.
2. Freeze. Once the window closes, the borders are locked and never repaint.
What you see on history is what actually happened at that moment.
3. Extend. The frozen box is stretched to the right until the end of the day, so
you can watch price test the borders after the session. A new day starts a new box.

What It Pairs With

Smart Money logic and the accumulation - manipulation - distribution model. The box
shows where potential liquidity sits; the trader applies their own scenario on top.

Applications

- Trading the Asian range
- Trading the European and US range
- First-hour range
- Mean reversion (from the box midline)

Settings

- Timezone: city entries (which adjust automatically for daylight saving) or fixed
UTC offsets (to match a broker's server time).
- Accumulation window: any length, from one hour to a full session.
- Extend box to end of day: on/off.
- Style: color, fill, borders, midline, label.

To show several sessions at once (Asia + Europe + US), add the indicator to the
chart more than once with different settings.

Notes

- Recommended timeframe: M1 to H1, depending on the strategy.
- Time is based on the selected timezone; city entries adjust for daylight saving,
fixed offsets do not.
