Exchange sessionsThe Exchange sessions indicator allows you to show world trading sessions on the chart, taking into account working hours in the corresponding time zone .
>> For traders:
The settings set the working hours of the exchange, and the indicator itself automatically binds it to the time zone of the selected exchange location - this allows you not to get confused about the correctness of the entered time ranges for any type of chart - stock, futures, index, forex or crypto. By default, the valid working hours are set and no further configuration is required.
In addition, you can select those zones that you want to highlight (using the marker to the left of the session name), and you can also highlight the beginning of each trading session - the start marker.
>> For encoders:
In the code, you can see how to set the session time and bind its control to the time zone from the IANA time zone database.
Also, in the code you will find a way to align the description of input parameters using Unicode Spaces.
I hope that my script will benefit the community and provide a quality result in my work!
All profit!

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

[MiV] Trading SessionHello, everyone!
Today I want to present my new script, which I hope will help not only me!
I'm sure that many people, like me, went through such a stage as "building their strategy". This is when you sit and test on the history how you would enter or exit a trade.
Recently I was doing the same thing and realized that my "tests" involve night time, when in reality I would be asleep and not trading! So I decided to create an indicator that would display my "working hours" so that the backtest I conduct would be as realistic as possible.
Also this indicator is able to display sessions of major exchanges and forex working hours, so it will be useful not only for cryptocurrency lovers.
In addition, we don't always trade every day and, for example, I don't trade on Sunday. That's why we added a feature that "turns off" the day and does not highlight it in color if you're not planning to trade on that day.
And finally, I added a notification of the beginning and end of the trading session. A small thing, but it may also be a useful feature for those who like to sit at the chart!
I will be glad to receive any comments and suggestions!

Всем привет!
Хочу сегодня представить свой новый скрипт, который, надеюсь, поможет не только мне!
Уверен, что многие, как и я, проходили такой этап как "постройка своей стратегии". Это когда ты сидишь и тестируешь на истории то как бы ты входил или выходил из сделки.
Вот недавно я ровно также занимался этим и осознал, что мои "тесты" затрагивают и ночное время, когда в реальности я бы спал и не торговал! Поэтому я решил создать индикатор, который будет отображать мои "рабочие часы", чтобы бектест, который я провожу, был максимально реалистичным.
Также данный индикатор умеет отображать сессии крупных бирж и время работы форекса, так что полезным он будет не только для любителей криптовалюты.
Кроме того, мы же не всегда торгуем каждый день и например я не торгую в воскресенье. Поэтому добавлен функционал, который "выключает" день и не подсвечивает его цветом, если ты в этот день не планируешь торговать.
Ну и в заключении, добавил уведомление о начале и завершении торговой сессии. Мелочь, а тоже может быть полезной фичей для тех кто любит засесть за графиком!
Буду рад любым замечаниям и предложениям!

Market Maker Session TimesThis indicator is design to mark out the session times for the Market Maker Method. All times are on NY time however you do not need to change your personal timezone.
The colours are also changeable, here's what the standard version are:
Asia Session - Green
UK Session - Yellow
US Session - Red
Dead Zone - Grey
Hancock - RSI [Session]This is an improvement of my RSI Volume indicator.
I have made a session based RSI indicator which helps to aid the decision making upon session opens and gives a good indication of trend during. It also has various fixes for bugs found in the above indicator.
It has multiple settings to configure:
Use session: This toggles the RSI to be session based mode.
Session - Time: The session hours for the RSI .
Session - Days of Week: This is the days for the session based RSI to use.
Session - Mode: The RSI is reset when a new session starts. This mode adjusts how the initial value of the RSI is calculated:
OC: RSI uses the absolute open - close * volume value.
TR: RSI uses the true range * volume value.
VOL: RSI uses the volume value.
TF - Resolution: This is the lower time frame to be used in calculating the wick adjusted buy and sell volume used in the calculation of Volume weighted RSI . A lower time frame produces more accurate buy and sell volumes.
Use Volume: Enabling this produces a Volume weighted RSI . Disabled produces a normal RSI .
Use Wicks: Enabling this adjusts the calculation for buy and sell volume by taking wicks into account.
RSI - Length: This is the length to be used for the RSI . If session based this is the maximum value the RSI length can be - length can be shorter to not include previous session data.
RSI - Overbought: This is the "overbought" level for the RSI .
RSI - Oversold: This is the "oversold" level for the RSI .
RSI - Threshold: This is the threshold used to indicate trend change colours on the RSI .
Happy Trading

Quarterly Theory ICT 01 [TradingFinder] XAMD + Q1-Q4 Sessions🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system based on the concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time. It divides time into quarterly periods and accurately determines entry and exit points for trades by using the True Open as the starting point of each cycle. This system is applicable across various time frames including annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions.
Time is divided into four quarters: in the first quarter (Q1), which is dedicated to the Accumulation phase, the market is in a consolidation state, laying the groundwork for a new trend; in the second quarter (Q2), allocated to the Manipulation phase (also known as Judas Swing), sudden price changes and false moves occur, marking the true starting point of a trend change; the third quarter (Q3) is dedicated to the Distribution phase, during which prices are broadly distributed and price volatility peaks; and the fourth quarter (Q4), corresponding to the Continuation/Reversal phase, either continues or reverses the previous trend.
By leveraging smart algorithms and technical analysis, this system identifies optimal price patterns and trading positions through the precise detection of stop-run and liquidity zones.
With the division of time into Q1 through Q4 and by incorporating key terms such as Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, this system enables traders to identify market trends and make informed trading decisions using real data and precise analysis.
♦ Important Note :
This indicator and the "Quarterly Theory ICT" concept have been developed based on material published in primary sources, notably the articles on Daye( traderdaye ) and Joshuuu . All copyright rights are reserved.
🔵 How to Use
The Quarterly Theory ICT strategy is built on dividing time into four distinct periods across various time frames such as annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions. In this approach, time is segmented into four quarters, during which the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal appear in a systematic and recurring manner.
The first segment (Q1) functions as the Accumulation phase, where the market consolidates and lays the foundation for future movement; the second segment (Q2) represents the Manipulation phase, during which prices experience sudden initial changes, and with the aid of the True Open concept, the real starting point of the market’s movement is determined; in the third segment (Q3), the Distribution phase takes place, where prices are widely dispersed and price volatility reaches its peak; and finally, the fourth segment (Q4) is recognized as the Continuation/Reversal phase, in which the previous trend either continues or reverses.
This strategy, by harnessing the concepts of fractal time and smart algorithms, enables precise analysis of price patterns across multiple time frames and, through the identification of key points such as stop-run and liquidity zones, assists traders in optimizing their trading positions. Utilizing real market data and dividing time into Q1 through Q4 allows for a comprehensive and multi-level technical analysis in which optimal entry and exit points are identified by comparing prices to the True Open.
Thus, by focusing on keywords like Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, the Quarterly Theory ICT strategy acts as a coherent framework for predicting market trends and developing trading strategies.
🔵b]Settings
Cycle Display Mode: Determines whether the cycle is displayed on the chart or on the indicator panel.
Show Cycle: Enables or disables the display of the ranges corresponding to each quarter within the micro cycles (e.g., Q1/1, Q1/2, Q1/3, Q1/4, etc.).
Show Cycle Label: Toggles the display of textual labels for identifying the micro cycle phases (for example, Q1/1 or Q2/2).
Table Display Mode: Enables or disables the ability to display cycle information in a tabular format.
Show Table: Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info: Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
Quarterly Theory ICT provides a fractal and recurring approach to analyzing price behavior by dividing time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and defining the True Open at the beginning of the second phase.
The Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases repeat in each cycle, allowing traders to identify price patterns with greater precision across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even micro-level time frames.
Focusing on the True Open as the primary reference point enables faster recognition of potential trend changes and facilitates optimal management of trading positions. In summary, this strategy, based on ICT principles and fractal time concepts, offers a powerful framework for predicting future market movements, identifying optimal entry and exit points, and managing risk in various trading conditions.

ATR+ Advanced Sessions ATR for DaterangeATR+ Advanced Sessions ATR for Daterange
The ATR+ adds the following additional filters to the stock ATR indicator by Tradingview:
- Calculates the overall average ATR for a user defined daterange, optionally filtered by trading session and selected weekdays, presented as a secondary line over the standard ATR line.
- Basic ATR line, with colour highlight to indicate the selected sessions, days and timeframe being calculated by the average ATR+ line.
- Average ATR+ line indicating the average of all ATRs within the defined timeframe, optionally filtered by instances of a selected trading session and selected weekdays.
- Customisable appearance.
- The ATR+ also includes the basic ATR configuration options typically found in the standard ATR by Tradingview, including period length and smoothing type. Defaults are set to the factory standards: 14 length, RMA smoothing type.
What Is the Average True Range (ATR)?
The ATR is a technical analysis tool that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range asset price for that period. Investopedia describes the ATR as follows:
"The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges."
For more information on the ATR and its calculations and use cases, see here:
Investopedia link here.
Tradingview link here.
Note
The indicator may time out if the number of bars being calculated is too long. If this happens, you will need to reduce the datetime range, or increase the chart timeframe in order to reduce the number of bars being calculated and the indicator will attempt to recalculate.

30 Second Futures Session Open RangeThis indicator displays 30 second opening ranges from Globex, Europe, and RTH sessions.
From the RTH session range, it also displays infinitely generating Price Targets based on a % of the opening range size.
I am retrieving the 30 second data using the new "request.security_lower_tf()" function.
The importance of these levels is based on the idea that when the market opens, algorithms establish their positions within the first 30 seconds.
These areas can also be seen as potential areas of support and resistance throughout the sessions.
Enjoy!
