Sessions
Session Liquidity Raid ModelSession Liquidity Raid Model
This indicator helps you understand what each market session is doing with liquidity — without guessing, predicting, or over-complicating things.
It tracks the Asia, London, and New York sessions and shows you:
Where each session’s highs and lows are
Whether those levels have been taken (raided) or are still untouched
When New York is likely cleaning up liquidity left by London
The basic idea (very simple)
If London moves price strongly without taking Asia’s opposite side, New York often comes back to raid London levels first before the real move happens.
This indicator makes that process visible at a glance.
What it shows on the chart
Asia High & Low
London High & Low
Whether each level is taken or not
A simple Bullish / Bearish / Neutral session bias
Clean horizontal lines for key session levels
No buy or sell signals.
No indicators stacked on top of each other.
Just context.
How to use it
Use it to avoid bad trades, not force trades
Wait for liquidity to be taken before looking for entries
Combine it with your own price action, structure, or FVGs
If you trade CME_MINI:NQ1! , this helps you stay aligned with what New York is actually doing, instead of reacting late.
Important note
This is not a trading strategy and it does not predict the future.
It simply shows which session still owes liquidity and which one has already been cleared.

Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition) [ Alerts] Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition)
► Overview
The Session Ranges ( AMT Edition) is a session-based market structure and auction analysis tool designed to visually reveal acceptance, rejection, imbalance, and continuation across the Asia, London, and New York CME trading sessions.
Unlike typical indicators, this script is grounded in Auction Market Theory (AMT) and session-based structure, focusing on how price behaves at session extremes rather than relying on lagging calculations, oscillators, or predictive algorithms. Its purpose is to highlight areas where the market has earned the right to be traded, providing traders with a clear, rules-based framework for high-probability directional trades.
Important for backtesting: To properly backtest session extremes, Interaction Lines, and Closest Opposite Extreme Lines, you must use TradingView’s replay mode, as real-time bar-by-bar progression is required to observe how the market interacts with session extremes over time.
► Key Innovations
This is not a conventional session high/low indicator. Its originality comes from several unique design elements:
Differentiates interaction from true acceptance: Price touching an extreme does not automatically indicate directional intent.
Separates directional confirmation from range-bound indecision: Only confirmed crossings beyond the Interaction Line signal actionable bias.
Tracks failed auctions and partial acceptance: No volume profile or order book data required.
Visual, rule-based trade permission: Signals are objective, minimizing subjective interpretation.
Interaction & Closest Opposite Extreme Lines: Together, these lines map how far an auction progresses after an extreme is tested, highlighting continuation, partial acceptance, or failed auctions.
► Core Concepts Explained
1. Session Highs & Lows (Solid Lines)
Plotted continuously for each CME session (Asia, London, New York).
Represent the current auction boundaries for that session.
2. True Interaction Lines (Thick Dotted Lines)
Drawn when price touches or breaks a session extreme:
Touching session high → dotted line at the low of that candle
Touching session low → dotted line at the high of that candle
Auction context:
Touching alone ≠ acceptance
Acceptance occurs only when price moves beyond the Interaction Line and holds
Trading principle:
Price has not crossed → no directional bias → do not trade
Price crosses and holds → directional bias established
3. Acceptance vs Rejection
Accepted direction: Price crosses and holds beyond the Interaction Line
Rejected direction: Price crosses the line but immediately reverses
Neutral / No-Trade: Price trapped between extreme and Interaction Line
Important: Acceptance is conditional and dynamic. Each time price crosses back over the Interaction Line, acceptance is lost.
4. New Extremes = Continuation
Once an Interaction Line is crossed, each new session extreme in that direction reinforces the trend.
Traders should only look for continuation setups along the established directional bias.
AMT interpretation:
Repeated new extremes → directional imbalance
Failure to make new extremes → potential balance or rotation
5. Closest Opposite Extreme Lines (Thin Dotted Lines)
After acceptance, the script tracks price progress toward the opposite session extreme.
Plotted only if price reaches a user-defined percentage of the session range.
Helps identify:
Full acceptance (price reaches opposite extreme)
Partial acceptance (price stalls)
Failed auctions (price cannot progress meaningfully)
Trading guidance once Closest Lines appear:
Partial acceptance: Price stalls near the Closest Line but does not fully reach the opposite extreme → bias remains valid, but the move may be weakening; consider scaling out or tightening stops.
Full acceptance: Price reaches the opposite extreme → directional auction fully confirmed; bias continues, but expect potential rotation or balance afterward.
Failed auction (cannot progress meaningfully): Price reverses before reaching the Closest Line → signals exhaustion; avoid chasing the move and treat as potential trend failure.
Note: Only relevant after Interaction Line is crossed; if price never crosses the Interaction Line, Closest Lines have no trading significance.
► Step-by-Step Usage
Wait for a session extreme
Let price interact with the session high or low.
Observe the Interaction Line
No cross → do not trade
Cross and hold → directional bias established
Trade in the direction of new extremes only
Ignore counter-trend trades unless the Interaction Line is lost
Manage risk using structure
Interaction Line acts as a dynamic invalidation level
Use Closest Lines for context
Partial acceptance → bias valid, watch for weakening
Full acceptance → bias strong, continuation likely
Failed attempt → potential exhaustion, do not chase
Useful for trade management, scaling, and expectation setting
► Price Retests & Pullbacks
Scenario:
Price crosses above the Interaction Line (e.g., from a low interaction).
Over the next 3–4 15-minute bars, price dips back toward the Interaction Line, with wicks touching it but no decisive close below.
Interpretation:
Initial Acceptance Confirmed: Bias remains valid while price holds above/below the line.
Temporary Pullback / Retest: Market is re-evaluating the auction; testing participant agreement.
Wicks Touching the Line: Partial probing or liquidity sweep; market still respects original acceptance.
Trading Implication:
Continuation bias remains intact.
Pullbacks near the Interaction Line offer lower-risk entries.
Decisive close below → acceptance lost, signaling trend failure or invalidation.
Market Psychology:
Healthy auction behavior: extreme tested → acceptance confirmed → boundary retested for liquidity → continuation.
Failure to hold above signals weak acceptance or exhaustion.
✅ Key Takeaways:
Holding above Interaction Line → bias intact, pullback = opportunity
Closing below Interaction Line → acceptance lost, bias invalidated
Wicks touching only → normal retest, still valid
► No-Trade Conditions
Avoid trading when:
Price never crosses the Interaction Line
Price remains trapped between the extreme and the Interaction Line
Market rotates without forming new extremes
These indicate balance, not directional opportunity.
► Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price crosses an Interaction Line for:
Asia session
London session
New York session
Alerts signal possible acceptance, not automatic trade entries.
► Who This Script Is For
Best suited for traders who:
Trade session structure in futures, indices, or FX
Follow Auction Market Theory principles
Prefer objective, rules-based confirmation
Want fewer but higher-quality trade opportunities
Not intended for:
Indicator stacking
Predictive trading
High-frequency scalping without structure
► Final Notes
This script does not tell you when to buy or sell.
It shows where the market has earned the right to be traded.
Use it as a decision filter, not a prediction engine.

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!

Session Volume Analyzer [JOAT]
Session Volume Analyzer — Global Trading Session and Volume Intelligence System
This indicator addresses the analytical challenge of understanding market participation patterns across global trading sessions. It combines precise session detection with comprehensive volume analysis to provide insights into when and how different market participants are active. The tool recognizes that different trading sessions exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of participation, volatility, and volume patterns.
Why This Combination Provides Unique Analytical Value
Traditional session indicators typically only show time boundaries, while volume indicators show raw volume data without session context. This creates analytical gaps:
1. **Session Context Missing**: Volume spikes without session context provide incomplete information
2. **Participation Patterns Hidden**: Different sessions have different participant types (retail, institutional, algorithmic)
3. **Comparative Analysis Lacking**: No easy way to compare volume patterns across sessions
4. **Timing Intelligence Absent**: Understanding WHEN volume occurs is as important as HOW MUCH volume occurs
This indicator's originality lies in creating an integrated session-volume analysis system that:
**Provides Session-Aware Volume Analysis**: Volume data is contextualized within specific trading sessions
**Enables Cross-Session Comparison**: Compare volume patterns between Asian, London, and New York sessions
**Delivers Participation Intelligence**: Understand which sessions are showing above-normal participation
**Offers Real-Time Session Tracking**: Know exactly which session is active and how current volume compares
Technical Innovation and Originality
While session detection and volume analysis exist separately, the innovation lies in:
1. **Integrated Session-Volume Architecture**: Simultaneous tracking of session boundaries and volume statistics creates comprehensive market participation analysis
2. **Multi-Session Volume Comparison System**: Real-time calculation and comparison of volume statistics across different global sessions
3. **Adaptive Volume Threshold Detection**: Automatic identification of above-average volume periods within session context
4. **Comprehensive Visual Integration**: Session backgrounds, volume highlights, and statistical dashboards provide complete market participation picture
How Session Detection and Volume Analysis Work Together
The integration creates a sophisticated market participation analysis system:
**Session Detection Logic**: Uses Pine Script's time functions to identify active sessions
// Session detection based on exchange time
bool inAsian = not na(time(timeframe.period, asianSession))
bool inLondon = not na(time(timeframe.period, londonSession))
bool inNY = not na(time(timeframe.period, nySession))
// Session transition detection
bool asianStart = inAsian and not inAsian
bool londonStart = inLondon and not inLondon
bool nyStart = inNY and not inNY
**Volume Analysis Integration**: Volume statistics are calculated within session context
// Session-specific volume accumulation
if asianStart
asianVol := 0.0
asianBars := 0
if inAsian
asianVol += volume
asianBars += 1
// Real-time session volume analysis
float asianAvgVol = asianBars > 0 ? asianVol / asianBars : 0
**Relative Volume Assessment**: Current volume compared to session-specific averages
float volMA = ta.sma(volume, volLength)
float volRatio = volMA > 0 ? volume / volMA : 1
// Volume classification within session context
bool isHighVol = volRatio >= 1.5 and volRatio < 2.5
bool isVeryHighVol = volRatio >= 2.5
This creates a system where volume analysis is always contextualized within the appropriate trading session, providing more meaningful insights than raw volume data alone.
Comprehensive Session Analysis Framework
**Default Session Definitions** (customizable based on broker timezone):
- **Asian Session**: 1800-0300 (exchange time) - Represents Asian market participation including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore
- **London Session**: 0300-1200 (exchange time) - Represents European market participation
- **New York Session**: 0800-1700 (exchange time) - Represents North American market participation
**Session Overlap Analysis**: The system recognizes and highlights overlap periods:
- **London/New York Overlap**: 0800-1200 - Typically the highest volume period
- **Asian/London Overlap**: 0300-0300 (brief) - Transition period
- **New York/Asian Overlap**: 1700-1800 (brief) - End of NY, start of Asian
**Volume Intelligence Features**:
1. **Session-Specific Volume Accumulation**: Tracks total volume within each session
2. **Cross-Session Volume Comparison**: Compare current session volume to other sessions
3. **Relative Volume Detection**: Identify when current volume exceeds historical averages
4. **Participation Pattern Analysis**: Understand which sessions show consistent high/low participation
Advanced Volume Analysis Methods
**Relative Volume Calculation**:
float volMA = ta.sma(volume, volLength) // Volume moving average
float volRatio = volMA > 0 ? volume / volMA : 1 // Current vs average ratio
// Multi-tier volume classification
bool isNormalVol = volRatio < 1.5
bool isHighVol = volRatio >= 1.5 and volRatio < 2.5
bool isVeryHighVol = volRatio >= 2.5
bool isExtremeVol = volRatio >= 4.0
**Session Volume Tracking**:
// Cumulative session volume with bar counting
if londonStart
londonVol := 0.0
londonBars := 0
if inLondon
londonVol += volume
londonBars += 1
// Average volume per bar calculation
float londonAvgVol = londonBars > 0 ? londonVol / londonBars : 0
**Cross-Session Volume Comparison**:
The system maintains running totals for each session, enabling real-time comparison of participation levels across different global markets.

Important Limitations and Realistic Expectations
Session times are approximate and depend on your broker's server timezone—manual adjustment may be required for accuracy
Volume data quality varies significantly by broker, instrument, and market type
Cryptocurrency and some forex markets trade continuously, making traditional session boundaries less meaningful
High volume indicates participation level only—it does not predict price direction or market outcomes
Session participation patterns can change over time due to market structure evolution, holidays, and economic conditions
This tool displays historical and current market participation data—it cannot predict future volume or price movements
Volume spikes can occur for numerous reasons unrelated to directional price movement (news, algorithmic trading, etc.)
Different instruments exhibit different session sensitivity and volume patterns
Market holidays and special events can significantly alter normal session patterns
Appropriate Use Cases
This indicator is designed for:
- Market participation pattern analysis
- Session-based trading schedule planning
- Volume context and comparison across sessions
- Educational study of global market structure
- Supplementary analysis for session-based strategies
This indicator is NOT designed for:
- Standalone trading signal generation
- Volume-based price direction prediction
- Automated trading system triggers
- Guaranteed session pattern repetition
- Replacement of fundamental or sentiment analysis
Understanding Session Analysis Limitations
Session analysis provides valuable context but has inherent limitations:
- Session patterns can change due to economic conditions, holidays, and market structure evolution
- Volume patterns may not repeat consistently across different market conditions
- Global events can override normal session characteristics
- Different asset classes respond differently to session boundaries
- Technology and algorithmic trading continue to blur traditional session distinctions

Global Sessions Pro NY/London/Tokyo - O/C/H/LGLOBAL SESSIONS PRO — NY / LONDON / TOKYO
Session Opens, Highs, Lows, Midpoints, Closes, Ranges & Killzones
OVERVIEW
Global Sessions Pro is a comprehensive session-mapping indicator designed for traders who rely on market structure, session context, and time-based behavior.
The indicator automatically plots New York, London, and Tokyo sessions, including:
• Session Open, High, Low, Midpoint, and Close
• Prior session levels projected forward
• Session range boxes
• Right-side labeled price levels (clearly identified)
• Stacked session summary labels (no overlap)
• Optional killzones and overlap windows
• Breakout alerts (prior or current session levels)
The script is fully timezone-aware, DST-safe, and works on any chart timeframe.
KEY FEATURES
SESSION MAPPING
For each session (NY / London / Tokyo), the indicator can display:
• Open
• High
• Low
• Midpoint (High + Low) / 2
• Close
Each level is drawn with its own horizontal line and optional right-side label, so there is never confusion about which line represents which level.
SESSION RANGE BOXES
Optional shaded boxes highlight the true session range as it develops in real time.
These are useful for visualizing:
• Compression vs expansion
• Relative session volatility
• Strength or weakness between sessions
Opacity and visibility are fully configurable.
RIGHT-SIDE LEVEL LABELS
Each session level can be labeled on the right edge of the chart, showing:
• Session name (NY / Lon / Tok)
• Level type (O / H / L / M / C)
• Optional price value
Examples:
NY H: 18234.25
Lon L: 18098.50
Tok M: 18142.75
This eliminates ambiguity when multiple session levels overlap or share similar colors.
SESSION SUMMARY LABELS (AUTO-STACKED)
At the top of each session range, an optional summary label displays:
• Session name
• Open / High / Low / Close
• Total range (points)
• Range in ticks
• ATR multiple
Summary labels are automatically stacked vertically using ATR-based or tick-based spacing, preventing overlap even when multiple sessions occur close together.
PRIOR SESSION LEVELS
The indicator can project prior session levels into the next session, including:
• Prior High and Low
• Optional prior Open, Close, and Midpoint
These levels are commonly used for:
• Support and resistance
• Liquidity sweeps
• Mean reversion
• Failed breakouts
Projection length is configurable and safely capped to comply with TradingView drawing limits.
KILLZONES AND SESSION OVERLAPS
Optional background shading highlights key institutional windows:
• London Open
• New York Open
• London / New York overlap
These zones help identify high-probability volatility windows and time-based trade filters.
All killzones respect the selected session timezone basis.
ALERTS
Built-in alerts are available for:
• Break of prior session high
• Break of prior session low
• Break of current session high
• Break of current session low
Alerts can be configured to trigger on wick or close.
Alert logic is written using precomputed crossover detection to ensure historical consistency and avoid missed or false alerts.
TIMEZONE AND SESSION HANDLING (IMPORTANT)
SESSION TIME BASIS OPTIONS
The indicator supports three session-time modes:
Market Local (DST-aware) – Recommended
• New York uses America/New_York
• London uses Europe/London
• Tokyo uses Asia/Tokyo
• Automatically adjusts for daylight saving time
UTC (Fixed)
• Sessions are interpreted strictly in UTC
• Best for crypto or non-DST workflows
• Requires manual adjustment during DST changes
Custom Timezone
• Define a single custom timezone for all sessions
This ensures sessions display correctly regardless of the chart’s timezone.

Statistcal Daily Profile & Ranges# Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges - TradingView Publication Guide
## Overview
The **Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges** indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to analyze intraday session behavior and daily range characteristics. It combines Average Daily Range (ADR) projection levels with detailed session-by-session statistics and probability-based trading insights derived from historical price action patterns.
## What This Indicator Does
This indicator provides traders with three core analytical components:
1. **ADR Projection Levels** - Dynamic support/resistance levels based on historical daily ranges
2. **Session Range Analysis** - Visual boxes and statistical breakdowns for four key trading sessions
3. **Dynamic Probability Display** - Real-time probability statistics based on overnight session relationships
## How It Works
### Average Daily Range (ADR) Calculation
The indicator calculates the average daily range over a user-defined lookback period (default: 10 days) and projects this range from each day's opening price. This creates two key levels:
- **ADR High**: Opening price + average daily range
- **ADR Low**: Opening price - average daily range
- **ADR Median**: The opening price (middle of the projected range)
These levels are recalculated at the start of each trading day and extend forward, providing dynamic support and resistance zones based on recent volatility characteristics.
### Session Tracking & Statistics
The indicator monitors four distinct trading sessions (times in Eastern Time):
1. **Asia Session** (8:00 PM - 2:00 AM)
2. **London Session** (2:00 AM - 8:00 AM)
3. **NY Open** (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM)
4. **NY Initial Balance** (9:30 AM - 10:30 AM)
For each session, the indicator:
- Draws a colored box showing the session's high-to-low range
- Tracks the opening price, high, and low
- Stores historical data for statistical analysis
- Calculates average ranges by day of week (Monday through Friday)
The session statistics are displayed in a customizable table showing average point ranges for each session across different weekdays, helping traders identify which sessions and days typically produce the most movement.
### Dynamic Probability System
The indicator analyzes the relationship between the Asia and London sessions to determine the current market setup. After the London session closes, it automatically detects one of four possible conditions:
**1. London Engulfs Asia**
- London session breaks both above Asia's high AND below Asia's low
- This indicates strong momentum during the European session
- Most common occurrence pattern
**2. Asia Engulfs London**
- Asia session range completely contains the London session range
- Indicates consolidation during London hours
- Relatively rare pattern (occurs approximately 5.36% of the time)
**3. London Partially Engulfs Upwards**
- London breaks above Asia's high but stays above Asia's low
- Suggests bullish momentum continuation from Asia into London
**4. London Partially Engulfs Downwards**
- London breaks below Asia's low but stays below Asia's high
- Suggests bearish momentum continuation from Asia into London
Once a condition is detected, the indicator displays a probability table showing historically observed outcomes for that specific setup, including:
- Probability of NY session taking out key levels (Asia high/low, London high/low)
- Probability of NY session engulfing the entire overnight range
- Directional bias for NY Cash session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM)
## How to Use This Indicator
### Initial Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on any intraday timeframe below Daily)
2. Adjust the **ADR Days** setting (default: 10) to control the lookback period for range calculation
3. Adjust the **Session Lookback Days** setting (default: 50) to determine how much historical data feeds the statistics tables
### Reading the ADR Levels
- Use the **ADR High** and **ADR Low** lines as potential profit targets or areas where price may encounter resistance
- The **ADR Median** line represents the opening price and can act as a pivot point for intraday directional bias
- If price reaches the ADR High early in the session, it suggests strong bullish momentum; conversely for ADR Low
- These levels adapt daily based on recent volatility, making them more responsive than static levels
### Interpreting Session Boxes
- **Session boxes** visually highlight when each trading session is active and its price range
- Larger boxes indicate higher volatility during that session
- Compare current session ranges to the statistical averages shown in the table
- Sessions that are unusually quiet or active relative to historical averages may signal compression or expansion
### Using the Session Statistics Table
- The table shows average point ranges for each session broken down by weekday
- Identify which sessions typically produce the most movement on specific days
- For example, if London on Thursdays averages 40 points while Mondays average 25 points, you can adjust position sizing or expectations accordingly
- The **Total** column shows the overall average across all days
- Sample sizes (shown in brackets if enabled) indicate data reliability
### Trading with the Probability Table
The probability table updates dynamically after the London session closes and shows statistically probable outcomes based on 12 years of NQ futures data.
**Important Limitations:**
- **These probabilities are derived from NQ (Nasdaq E-mini futures) data only**
- **Do NOT apply these probability statistics to other instruments** (ES, stocks, forex, etc.)
- The probabilities represent historical frequencies, not guarantees
- Always combine with your own analysis, risk management, and market context
**How to Apply the Probabilities:**
When **London Engulfs Asia**:
- Watch for NY session to take out London's extremes (72.33% probability for high, 71.12% for low)
- Slight bullish bias in NY Cash session (54.80% vs 45.20%)
- Lower probability of complete overnight engulfment (44.13%)
When **Asia Engulfs London** (rare - 5.36% occurrence):
- Higher probability NY takes Asia's high (75.86%)
- Moderately high probability NY takes Asia's low (65.52%)
- Slight increase in bullish bias (58.42% vs 41.58%)
- Recognize this as an unusual setup
When **London Partially Engulfs Upwards**:
- Very high probability NY takes London high (81.51%)
- Strong probability NY takes London low (64.45%)
- Moderate probability NY takes Asian low (53.16%)
- Slight bullish bias (55.52%)
When **London Partially Engulfs Downwards**:
- Very high probability NY takes London low (75.29%)
- Strong probability NY takes London high (68.80%)
- Moderate probability NY takes Asian high (56.44%)
- Slight bullish bias maintained (52.99%)
### Practical Trading Applications
**Scenario 1: Range Projection**
If the ADR is 500 points and the market opens at 25,000:
- ADR High: 25,500 (potential resistance/target)
- ADR Low: 24,500 (potential support/target)
- Monitor how price interacts with these levels throughout the day
**Scenario 2: Session-Based Trading**
Using the statistics table, you notice London on Wednesdays averages 35 points. During a Wednesday London session:
- If London has already moved 30 points, the session may be exhausting its typical range
- If London has only moved 15 points with an hour remaining, there may be expansion potential
- Adjust stop losses and targets based on typical session behavior
**Scenario 3: Probability-Based Setup**
It's 8:05 AM ET and the indicator shows "London Partially Engulfs Upwards":
- You now know there's an 81.51% historical probability NY will take out London's high
- There's a 53.16% probability NY will reach down to Asia's low
- The NY Cash session has a slight bullish bias (55.52%)
- Consider this alongside your technical analysis for directional bias and level targeting
## Customization Options
### Visual Settings
- **Line Width**: Adjust thickness of ADR levels
- **ADR Color/Style**: Customize appearance of ADR projection lines (solid, dashed, dotted)
- **Median Line**: Toggle visibility and customize appearance separately
- **Session Box Colors**: Customize each session's box color independently
- **Show Session Boxes**: Toggle session box visibility on/off
### Label Settings

- **Probabilities Table**: Separate position and size controls, toggle on/off
### Session Times
- Each session's time range can be customized to fit different markets or preferences
- All times are in Eastern Time (America/New_York timezone)
## Technical Notes
### Data Requirements
- The indicator requires sufficient historical data based on your lookback settings
- Minimum recommended: 50+ days of intraday data for reliable statistics
- Works on any timeframe below Daily (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, etc.)
### Calculation Methodology
- **ADR Calculation**: Simple average of absolute daily high-low ranges
- **Session Statistics**: Mean average of ranges for each session filtered by day of week
- **Condition Detection**: Boolean logic comparing session high/low relationships
- All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
### Probability Data Source
The probability statistics displayed in the dynamic table are derived from:
- **Dataset**: 12 years of NQ (Nasdaq E-mini futures) historical data
- **Methodology**: Frequency analysis of outcomes following specific setup conditions
- **Time Period**: Multiple market cycles including various volatility regimes
**Critical Warning**: These probabilities are specific to NQ and reflect that instrument's behavior patterns. Market microstructure, participant behavior, and volatility characteristics differ significantly across instruments. Do not apply these NQ-derived probabilities to other markets (ES, RTY, YM, individual stocks, forex, commodities, etc.).
## Best Practices
1. **Combine with Other Analysis**: Use this indicator as one component of a complete trading methodology, not a standalone system
2. **Respect Risk Management**: Probabilities are not certainties; always use proper position sizing and stop losses
3. **Context Matters**: High-impact news events, holiday trading, and extreme volatility can invalidate typical patterns
4. **Verify Statistics**: Monitor your own results and compare to the displayed probabilities
5. **Adapt Session Times**: If trading instruments with different active hours, adjust session times accordingly
6. **Regular Calibration**: Periodically review if the session averages and probabilities remain relevant to current market conditions
## Understanding Originality
This indicator is original in its approach to combining three analytical frameworks into a single tool:
1. **Dynamic ADR Projection**: Unlike static pivot points, these levels adapt daily based on recent volatility
2. **Session-Specific Statistics**: Goes beyond simple volume profiles by quantifying average ranges for specific time windows across weekdays
3. **Conditional Probability Display**: Automatically detects overnight session relationships and displays relevant probability data rather than showing all scenarios simultaneously
The conditional logic system that determines which probability set to display is a key differentiator—traders only see the statistics relevant to the current market setup, reducing information overload and improving decision-making clarity.
## Summary
The **Statistical Daily Profile & Ranges** indicator provides traders with a comprehensive framework for understanding daily range potential, session-specific behavior patterns, and probability-based setup analysis. By combining ADR projection levels with detailed session statistics and dynamic probability displays, traders gain multiple perspectives on potential price movement within the trading day.
The indicator is most effective when used to:
- Set realistic profit targets based on average daily range
- Identify which sessions typically produce movement on specific weekdays
- Understand probability-weighted outcomes for different overnight setup conditions (NQ only)
- Visualize session ranges and compare them to historical averages
Remember that all statistical analysis reflects historical patterns, and market behavior can change. Always combine indicator signals with sound risk management, proper position sizing, and your own market analysis.

Session VWAPs [cryptalent]This indicator provides a more granular and timely analysis of market structure compared to traditional daily Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). It splits the 24-hour trading day into four distinct, customizable sessions (T1, T2, T3, T4), calculating an independent Session VWAP and Standard Deviation Bands for each segment.
🌟 Key Features and Functionality
1. Segmented VWAP Calculation
Purpose: To track the true Volume Weighted Average Price (Fair Value) specific to the participants and trading activities within different global market sessions (e.g., Asian, European, US sessions).
Design: By default, the 24 hours (based on UTC time) are divided into T1 (00:00-06:00), T2 (06:00-12:00), T3 (12:00-20:00), and T4 (20:00-00:00).
Mechanism: The VWAP calculation resets at the start of each designated session, offering a clearer, segment-specific view of market consensus and volume absorption.
2. Standard Deviation Bands
Calculation: Each Session VWAP line is accompanied by upper and lower standard deviation bands.
Control: The width of these bands is controlled by the user input "Band Multiplier" (default is 1.0, representing one standard deviation).
Application: These bands measure the Volume-Weighted Volatility and define the expected "normal" trading range for the current session.
- Price within the bands suggests consolidation or a normal auction process.
- Price breaking out of the bands indicates strong directional momentum or an extreme/overbought/oversold condition for that specific session.
3. High Customization (User Inputs)
Session Timing: All four session start and end times (in UTC) are customizable, allowing traders to align the indicator with specific market hours or individual trading strategies.
Price Source: The source price used for the VWAP calculation is selectable (default is close).
💡 Trading Applications
1. Fair Value Identification: The VWAP line serves as the "Fair Value" or "Volume-Weighted Consensus Cost" for the active session.
Price above VWAP: Buyers are in control during that session.
Price below VWAP: Sellers are in control during that session.
2. Dynamic Support & Resistance: Both the VWAP and the Standard Deviation Bands often act as reliable dynamic support and resistance levels.
3. Volatility Assessment: The width of the bands reflects the volume-weighted volatility of the current session. Narrow bands suggest range-bound trading; wide bands imply strong directional activity.
4. Trend Strength: Sustained price action outside of the standard deviation bands is a key measure of the strength and commitment behind a current trend.

The statistical features analyze the last N sessions (you choose the number) to calculate typical extension behavior from either the session open or the session high/low points.
The z-score calculation helps identify whether the current session's range is normal, expanded, or contracted compared to recent history, allowing traders to adjust expectations for the rest of the day.
Use Case:
This indicator helps traders identify key support and resistance levels based on early session price action, understand current range context relative to historical averages, and spot potential reversal zones during specific time periods.

ICT Asian & London Range + First Presented FVGIndicator: ICT Sessions + First Presented FVG
What it does: This tool automates the markup of key ICT (Inner Circle Trader) timeframes and entry signals. It allows you to trade on higher timeframes (like the 5m or 15m) while the script automatically "looks inside" the 1-minute chart to find specific setups for you.
Key Features:
Session Ranges (Asian & London)
Automatically highlights the Asian Session (8 PM - Midnight NY) and London Open (2 AM - 5 AM NY).
Draws a shaded box for the session's High and Low.
New: Extends the High and Low lines to 4:00 PM NY (end of the trading day) so you can use them as liquidity targets.
The "First Presented" FVG (Sniper Logic)
It detects the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms on the 1-minute chart immediately after a session starts.
It draws this 1-minute gap on your current chart, regardless of what timeframe you are viewing.
The FVG box automatically extends to the end of the trading day (4 PM NY), showing you where price might return to "mitigate" or react later in the day.

Use Case: Trade lower timeframes while respecting higher timeframe structure. Watch for HTF candle closes to confirm directional bias.
FVG & VI Detection
Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances highlight inefficiencies that price often revisits:
1. **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detected when HTF candle wicks don't overlap between 3 consecutive candles
- Bullish FVG: Gap between candle 1 high and candle 3 low (green box by default)
- Bearish FVG: Gap between candle 1 low and candle 3 high (red box by default)
2. **Volume Imbalances (VIs)**: Similar detection but focuses on body gaps
- Bullish VI: Gap between candle 1 close and candle 3 open
- Bearish VI: Gap between candle 1 open and candle 3 close
3. Enable FVG/VI detection per HTF slot individually
4. Customize colors and transparency for each imbalance type
5. Boxes appear on chart at formation and remain visible as retracement targets
**Use Case**: Identify high-probability retracement zones. Price often returns to fill FVGs and VIs before continuing the trend. Use as entry zones or profit targets.

• Real-time updates on the most recent MTF candle
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
Session Breakout Strategy:
→ Identify session high/low (e.g., Asian session 16:30-00:00)
→ Wait for break above/below range
→ Confirm with higher timeframe candle close
→ Enter in breakout direction, stop at opposite side of range
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation:
→ Spot setup on primary chart (e.g., 5m)
→ Verify 15m, 1H, 4H candles align with trade direction
→ Only take trades where higher TFs confirm
→ Exit when higher TF candles show reversal
Combined Session + MTF:
→ Asian session establishes range overnight
→ London Open breaks Asian high
→ Confirm with bullish 15m + 1H candles
→ Enter long with stop below Asian high
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
════════════════════════════════════════════
What makes this indicator original:
1. INTEGRATED DUAL-MODULE DESIGN
Unlike separate session or MTF indicators, this combines both in a single performance-optimized script, enabling powerful correlation analysis between session behavior and timeframe structure.

Pine Script® Indikator
Relative Performance Areas [LuxAlgo]The Relative Performance Areas tool enables traders to analyze the relative performance of any asset against a user-selected benchmark directly on the chart, session by session.
The tool features three display modes for rescaled benchmark prices, as well as a statistics panel providing relevant information about overperforming and underperforming streaks.
🔶 USAGE
Usage is straightforward. Each session is highlighted with an area displaying the asset price range. By default, a green background is displayed when the asset outperforms the benchmark for the session. A red background is displayed if the asset underperforms the benchmark.
The benchmark is displayed as a green or red line. An extended price area is displayed when the benchmark exceeds the asset price and is set to SPX by default, but traders can choose any ticker from the settings panel.
Using benchmarks to compare performance is a common practice in trading and investing. Using indexes such as the S&P 500 (SPX) or the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) to measure our portfolio's performance provides a clear indication of whether our returns are above or below the broad market.
As the previous chart shows, if we have a long position in the NASDAQ 100 and buy an ETF like QQQ, we can clearly see how this position performs against BTSUSD and GOLD in each session.
Over the last 15 sessions, the NASDAQ 100 outperformed the BTSUSD in eight sessions and the GOLD in six sessions. Conversely, it underperformed the BTCUSD in seven sessions and the GOLD in nine sessions.
🔹 Display Mode
The display mode options in the Settings panel determine how benchmark performance is calculated. There are three display modes for the benchmark:
Net Returns: Uses the raw net returns of the benchmark from the start of the session.
Rescaled Returns: Uses the benchmark net returns multiplied by the ratio of the benchmark net returns standard deviation to the asset net returns standard deviation.
Standardized Returns: Uses the z-score of the benchmark returns multiplied by the standard deviation of the asset returns.
Comparing net returns between an asset and a benchmark provides traders with a broad view of relative performance and is straightforward.
When traders want a better comparison, they can use rescaled returns. This option scales the benchmark performance using the asset's volatility, providing a fairer comparison.
Standardized returns are the most sophisticated approach. They calculate the z-score of the benchmark returns to determine how many standard deviations they are from the mean. Then, they scale that number using the asset volatility, which is measured by the asset returns standard deviation.
As the chart above shows, different display modes produce different results. All of these methods are useful for making comparisons and accounting for different factors.
🔹 Dashboard
The statistics dashboard is a great addition that allows traders to gain a deep understanding of the relationship between assets and benchmarks.
First, we have raw data on overperforming and underperforming sessions. This shows how many sessions the asset performance at the end of the session was above or below the benchmark.
Next, we have the streaks statistics. We define a streak as two or more consecutive sessions where the asset overperformed or underperformed the benchmark.
Here, we have the number of winning and losing streaks (winning means overperforming and losing means underperforming), the median duration of each streak in sessions, the mode (the number of sessions that occurs most frequently), and the percentages of streaks with durations equal to or greater than three, four, five, and six sessions.
As the image shows, these statistics are useful for traders to better understand the relative behavior of different assets.

Trading Sessions [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Trading Sessions indicator tracks and displays the four major global trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It provides session-based background highlighting, real-time price change tracking from session open, and a data table with session status. The script works across all markets (forex, equities, commodities, crypto) and helps traders identify when specific geographic markets are active, which directly correlates with changes in liquidity and volatility patterns. Default session times are set to major financial center hours in UTC but are fully adjustable to match your trading methodology.
🟢 Key Features
→ Session Background Color Coding
Each trading session gets a distinct background color on your chart:
1. Sydney Session - Default orange, 22:00-07:00 UTC
2. Tokyo Session - Default red, 00:00-09:00 UTC
3. London Session - Default green, 08:00-16:00 UTC
4. New York Session - Default blue, 13:00-22:00 UTC
When sessions overlap, the color priority is New York > London > Tokyo > Sydney. This means if London and New York are both active, the background shows New York's color. The priority matches typical liquidity and volatility patterns where later sessions generally show higher volume.
→ Color Customization
All session colors are configurable in the Color Settings panel:
1. Click any session color input to open the color picker
2. Select your preferred color for that session
3. Use the "Background Transparency" slider (0-100) to adjust opacity. Lower values = more visible, higher values = more subtle
4. Enable "Color Price Bars" to color candlesticks themselves according to the active session instead of just the background
The Color column in the info table shows a block (█) in each session's assigned color, matching what you see on the chart background.
→ Information Table Breakdown
→ Timeframe Warning
If you're viewing a timeframe of 12 hours or higher, a red warning label appears center-screen. Session boundaries don't render accurately on high timeframes because the time() function in Pine Script can't detect intra-bar session changes when each bar spans multiple sessions. The warning tells you to switch to sub-12H timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, etc.) for proper session detection. You can disable this warning in Color Settings if needed, but session highlighting can be unreliable on 12H+ charts regardless.
→ Time Range Configuration
Every session's time range is editable in Session Settings:
1. Click the time input field next to each session
2. Enter time as HHMM-HHMM in 24-hour format
3. All times are interpreted as UTC
4. Modify these to account for daylight saving shifts or to define custom session periods based on your backtested optimal trading windows
For example, if your strategy performs best during London/NY overlap specifically, you could set London to 08:00-17:00 and New York to 13:00-22:00 to ensure you see the full overlap highlighted.
→ Weekdays Filter
The "Weekdays Only (Mon-Fri)" toggle controls whether sessions display on weekends:
Enabled: Sessions only show Monday-Friday and hide on Saturday-Sunday. Use this for markets that close on weekends (most equities, forex).
Disabled: Sessions display 24/7 including weekends. Use this for markets that trade continuously (crypto).
→ Table Display Options
The info table has several configuration options in Table Settings:
Visibility: Toggle "Show Info Table" on/off to display or hide the entire table.
Position: Nine position options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) let you place the table wherever it doesn't block your price action or other indicators.
Text Size: Four size options (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) to match your screen resolution and visual preferences.
→ Color Schemes:
Mono: Black background, gray header, white text
Light: White background, light gray header, black text
Blue: Dark blue background, medium blue header, white text
Custom: Manual selection of all five color components (table background, header background, header text, data text, borders)
→ Alert Functionality
The indicator includes ten alert conditions you can access via TradingView's alert system:
Session Opens:
1. Sydney Session Started
2. Tokyo Session Started
3. London Session Started
4. New York Session Started
5. Any Session Started
Session Closes:
6. Sydney Session Ended
7. Tokyo Session Ended
8. London Session Ended
9. New York Session Ended
10. Any Session Ended
These alerts fire when sessions transition based on your configured time ranges, letting you automate monitoring of session changes without watching the chart continuously. Useful for strategies that trade specific session opens/closes or need to adjust position sizing when volatility regime shifts between sessions.

Market SessionsMarket Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific)
Summary
This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking.
It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day.
Who it’s for
Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you.
What it shows
Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions.
Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses.
Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time.
Key Features
Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature.
Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE").
Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on.
Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off.
Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually.
Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high.
Why this helps
Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns.
Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions.
Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan.
Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed.
Quick setup
Go to Timezone Settings.
Decide how you want to enter times:
Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times).
Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin.
Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes.
Style the colors to match your chart theme.

Pine Script® Indikator
Session Streaks [LuxAlgo]The Session Streaks tool allows traders to identify whether a session is bullish or bearish on the chart. It also shows the current session streak, or the number of consecutive bullish or bearish sessions.
The tool features a dashboard with information about the session streaks of the underlying product on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
Analyzing session streaks is commonly used for market timing by studying the number of consecutive sessions over time and how long they last before the market changes direction.
We identify a bullish session as one in which the closing price is equal to or greater than the opening price, and a bearish session as one in which the closing price is below the opening price.
Each session is labeled according to its bias (bullish or bearish) and the number of consecutive sessions of the same type that conform the current streak.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard at the top shows information about the current session.
Under the "Streaks" header, historical information about session streaks is displayed, divided into bullish and bearish categories.
Number: Total number of streaks.
Median: The average duration of those streaks. We chose the median over the mean to avoid misrepresentation due to outliers.
Mode: The most common streak duration.
As the image shows, for this particular market, there are more bullish streaks than bearish ones. Bullish streaks have an average duration that is longer than that of bearish streaks, and both have the same most common streak duration.
If the current session is bullish and the median streak duration for bullish sessions is three, then we could consider scenarios in which the next two sessions are bullish.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Streaks On Larger Timeframes
On timeframes lower than or equal to Daily, the tool identifies each consecutive session, but this behavior changes on larger timeframes.
On timeframes larger than daily, the tool identifies the last session of each bar. Let's use the chart in the image as a reference.
At the top of the image, there is a daily chart where each session corresponds to each candle. One candle equals one day.
In the middle, we have a weekly chart where each session is the last session of each week, which is usually Friday for the Nasdaq 100 futures contract. The levels and labels displayed correspond to the last session within each candle, which is the last day of each week.
The levels and labels on the monthly chart correspond to the last session of each month, which is the last day of each month.
🔹 Gradient Style
Traders can choose between two different color gradients for the session background. Each gradient provides different information about price behavior within each session.
Horizontal: Green indicates prices at the top of the session range and red indicates prices at the bottom.
Vertical: Green indicates prices that are equal to or greater than the open price and red indicates prices that are below the open price of the session.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Dashboard
Dashboard: Enable or disable the dashboard.
Position: Select the location of the dashboard.
Size: Select the dashboard size.
🔹 Style
Bullish: Select a color for bullish sessions.
Bearish: Select a color for bearish sessions.
Transparency: Select a transparency level from 100 to 0.
Gradient: Select a horizontal or vertical gradient.

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.
Credits & intent
Inspired by ICT timing concepts; provided for education/mark-up, not financial advice.
Built to be flexible so you can mirror your personal playbook and journaling workflow.
