[LJ] RSIM + ICT KillzonesIndicator Summary
This Pine Script indicator is a comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It visually maps out crucial time-based trading sessions, killzones, and key opening price levels directly on the chart. Alongside the time and price tools, it features a real-time "RSIM" (MTF RSI Monitor) dashboard to track market momentum across multiple timeframes, all while maintaining a lag-free chart through automated drawing cleanup.
Core Functionalities
ICT Killzones & Silver Bullets:
Visually demarcates specific high-probability trading windows—including the Asian, London, and New York (AM & PM) killzones, as well as the UK and US "Silver Bullet" times—using vertical lines and colored background highlights.
Key Opening Price Levels:
Automatically plots horizontal lines for significant opening prices, such as the New York Midnight Open (often used as true day open), CME Open, and NY AM/PM Opens. It also includes Higher Time Frame (HTF) levels for Weekly and Monthly opens.
Session High/Low Tracking:
Actively tracks and draws horizontal price levels for the High and Low of the current day, previous day, and individual Globex, Asian, London, and NY sessions.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Dashboard (RSIM):
An on-chart table that displays the current Relative Strength Index (RSI) values and a live countdown timer ("time to close") for the 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, and Weekly timeframes.
Lunch "No-Trade-Zone":
Specifically highlights the New York Lunch period, visually warning traders of potential low-volume or erratic price action.
Automated Housekeeping:
A built-in memory management system that automatically deletes drawings (lines and labels) older than a user-defined number of days to prevent chart clutter and performance lag.
Built-in Debug Logger:
An optional on-chart logging table that tracks session triggers and script events, helping traders verify that times and levels are plotting correctly for their selected asset.
Key levels by Chav3zNY-Time Anchored Sessions
Visualizes the Asia, London, and New York sessions using customizable boxes or high/low lines. Unlike standard session indicators, this tool uses the America/New York time zone to ensure your session start and end times remain accurate throughout Daylight Savings changes.
2. Dynamic HTF Key Levels (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML)
Automatically plots the Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Highs and Lows.
Clean Intraday Origin: To prevent "chart clutter," these lines do not drag across the entire historical data. They originate at the start of the current day (NY Midnight), providing a clean horizontal reference for the current trading session.
Lookback Control: Choose how many days of historical key levels you want to remain visible on your chart.
3. Custom Time-Anchored Levels
Includes two fully customizable "Price Anchors" (e.g., Midnight Open, 09:30 AM NY Open).
Origin Point Precision: Lines start exactly at the candle of the specified time (e.g., 09:30) and extend forward, rather than drawing through the pre-market.
Price Capture: Choose to anchor to the Open, High, or Low of that specific timestamp.
4. Full Aesthetic Customization
Every level (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Custom) can be individually styled:
Color & Visibility: Set each level to your preferred color (Defaulted to Black for a clean look).
Line Style: Toggle between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines.
Thickness: Adjust the line width (1px, 2px, etc.) for better visibility on high-resolution screens.
How to Use
Midnight Open: Set Level 1 to 0000 to track the Daily Open, a crucial level for determining daily bias.
NY Open: Set Level 2 to 0930 to mark the "Opening Range" anchor for the New York session.
Liquidity Targets: Use the PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL levels to identify draw-on-liquidity areas for intraday scalp or swing setups.
Session Liquidity & FibsThis is a comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit designed for traders utilizing ICT concepts and time-based liquidity runs. The Session Liquidity & Fibs indicator automates the tedious process of marking up charts, allowing you to focus on price action and execution.
This indicator focuses on "Reverse Engineering" the daily narrative by plotting key sessions, mitigation lines, specific Fibonacci retracement setups, and Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity pools automatically.
Key Features:
1. Dynamic Session Killzones Automatically highlights key trading sessions with customizable boxes and extends the High/Low liquidity lines forward until they are mitigated (hit by price).
Asia Range: (Default 20:00 - 00:00)
London Session: (Default 02:00 - 05:00)
NY AM Session: (Default 09:30 - 11:00)
NY PM Session: (Default 13:30 - 16:00)
Note: Lines automatically cut off once price trades through them, keeping your chart clean.
2. Institutional Fibonacci Setups Auto-drawing Fibonacci anchors based on specific time windows to identify OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and key extensions.
Overnight Fib: Measures the range from 18:00 to 05:00.
9 AM "Silver Bullet" Fib: Measures the 09:00 - 10:00 candle range to determine the morning bias.
Includes standard institutional levels (0, 1, 0.236, 0.786).
3. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Matrix Never lose track of the bigger picture. This tool plots major liquidity levels from higher timeframes onto your intraday chart:
Daily: True Day Open (TDO), Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), and Daily Equilibrium (50%).
Weekly: Previous Week High/Low and Weekly Equilibrium.
Macro: Monthly and Quarterly Highs/Lows + 50% levels.
4. Price Action Helpers
Engulfing / Outside Bar Detector: Highlights bars that fully engulf the previous candle's range (Higher High & Lower Low). These are often key volatility candles used to draw manual Fibonacci ranges or identify immediate reversals.
Previous Bar 50%: Automatically marks the midpoint of the previous candle, useful for immediate rebalancing entries.
Settings & Customization:
Fully customizable colors for every session and level.
Toggle any feature on or off to suit your specific strategy.
Adjustable lookback history to manage chart load.
Usage: This indicator is best used on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) for Futures (NQ, ES) and Forex pairs. It is designed to help you spot liquidity sweeps and session reversals without manually drawing every box and line.
This indicator is a Work In Progress. I created this tool primarily for myself to consolidate everything I need for my personal trading style into a single, efficient indicator. However, I am sharing it in case others find it useful. If you are using this and have requests for changes or ideas on how to make it better, please leave a comment or reach out, I will look into what I can do to improve it.

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:

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

- 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.

How It Works:
The indicator tracks the specified session period and calculates the session's open, high, low, and range. At the end of the session (9:00 AM by default), it projects all configured levels forward for the trading day. 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.
