Session Candle Hunter 🎯
🎯 Session Candle Hunter — Precision Session Mapping for Smart Traders
Session Candle Hunter 🎯 is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify and track the most important session candle of the trading day—commonly used for liquidity grabs, range mapping, volatility zones, and breakout anticipation.
Whether you trade NY session, London session, or custom time windows, this indicator automatically detects the candle at your chosen New York Time, extracts its high and low, and visually projects these levels into the current session.
🔍 What This Indicator Does
1️⃣ Detects the Key Session Candle
You select:
Hour of the candle (NY Time)
Candle timeframe (1H, 4H, 15m, etc.)
The script automatically:
Identifies the candle when it forms
Stores its High/Low
Prepares levels for visual projection
🎨 2️⃣ Highlights the Candle Zone
Optionally displays a colored zone (box) between the candle’s high and low:
Helps visualize the liquidity pocket
Useful for session traps, expansion moves, and fair value interpretation
You can choose:
Zone color
Whether to show it or not
Whether it should update only for the latest candle
📈 3️⃣ Draws High/Low Lines With Extensions
High and Low of the detected candle can be plotted as:
Standard lines
Or infinitely extended to the right
Great for identifying:
Breakouts
Retests
Range boundaries
Session expansion models
Optional labels display exact price levels.
🕐 4️⃣ Delayed Display Logic
The indicator only shows levels after a user-defined NY time.
For example:
Show lines only after 8:30 NY — perfect for traders who want pre-session levels hidden until relevant.
🔄 5️⃣ “Show Only Last” Mode
A clean, uncluttered mode that removes all historical drawings and only displays:
The latest zone
The latest high/low lines
Latest labels
Perfect for minimal-chart traders.
⚠️ 6️⃣ Alert System

“New Candle Detected”
🧾 7️⃣ Info Panel (Top-Left Corner)
