Simple Sessions - [TTF]In working with a lot of new traders, one of the most common hurdles that they tend to encounter is properly identifying the various major trading sessions around the world. While it's pretty intuitive to grasp the basic concept, the biggest struggle is around the time conversion. Most people are pretty familiar with the trading session most local to them (e.g. US residents are generally pretty familiar with when the US session is relative to their local timezone), but tend to have much more difficulty in determining when exactly the start and end times are of "foreign" sessions (e.g. Europe or Tokyo). This can be even more challenging when trying to account for regional time differences (like Daylight Savings Time), and larger global time differences (e.g. seasons in opposite hemispheres are reversed). It was with these things in mind that we took to making this version of a sessions indicator to help people better visualize and interact with the various sessions in a more intuitive manner.
Key features include:
Individual settings and configuration for each major session (America/New York, Europe/London, and Asia/Tokyo), along with customizable highlighting color for the Europe/US Mixed session
Session start and end times are configured as the local time for those session (e.g. America/New York session time is configured relative to the US Eastern timezone)
The indicator will automatically handle the timezone conversion and correctly display the sessions on chart regardless of the user's on-chart configured timezone
Users can customize which days of the week that they want the sessions to include or exclude based on their personal preferences and trading schedule (e.g. exclude Fridays since that is when most news events occur)
There is an additional fully-customizable session that can be configured (including reference timezone) for a fully-custom trading window visualization (helpful for people with constraints in their trading availability and can't align with one of the "major" sessions)
We hope that the community finds this as helpful as we hope, and feedback is always welcome!
Sessions
Exchange sessionsThe Exchange sessions indicator allows you to show world trading sessions on the chart, taking into account working hours in the corresponding time zone .
>> For traders:
The settings set the working hours of the exchange, and the indicator itself automatically binds it to the time zone of the selected exchange location - this allows you not to get confused about the correctness of the entered time ranges for any type of chart - stock, futures, index, forex or crypto. By default, the valid working hours are set and no further configuration is required.
In addition, you can select those zones that you want to highlight (using the marker to the left of the session name), and you can also highlight the beginning of each trading session - the start marker.
>> For encoders:
In the code, you can see how to set the session time and bind its control to the time zone from the IANA time zone database.
Also, in the code you will find a way to align the description of input parameters using Unicode Spaces.
I hope that my script will benefit the community and provide a quality result in my work!
All profit!

Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0Description
The ultimate conclusion to the Futures Exchange Sessions 2.0 indicator. In version 3.0 the user gets full control of the start and end times of three separate dynamic boxes and one horizontal line. If the user wants to visually keep track of killzones, lunches, or any other time span in a trading day, version 3.0 will dynamically expand and keep track of price within the time specified by the user.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic boxes and one horizontal line can but independently configured. Color, style, border, width can all be adjusted. In the Settings each box has a text box so the user can give each one a unique name.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each box and line need a dependent start of each day. This is controlled by a setting where the user can specify a timezone called Start Day Timezone which would be midnight of the respective timezone. In general if a box or line resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users box/line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the box/line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If start time is within one period of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won't display
Boxes and time lines only display when timeframe is <= 30 minute
To turn off box text label set opacity to 0%

Futures Exchange Sessions 2.0Description
Successor to Futures Exchange Sessions indicator. Completely rebuilt code from the ground up. Every feature has been redesigned and refactored to be the most beneficial while allowing for complete configuration by the user.
This indicator displays Futures Sessions as live boxes that expand dynamically as price moves over the time interval. These boxes make liquidity levels extremely easy to spot and visualize. It helps the user identify market structure and develop their own bias of price action. Everything about the Session boxes can be configured. Box color, border color, border style, and border width are all individually controllable. Each Future Session can be turned on or off at any time. Also, each box has their own text label (Asian Session, London Session, New York Session) and this text can be moved around the box, change color, and change size.
Previous days highs and lows (major liquidity levels) are always important to the futures trader. This indicator now allows the user to individually display the three previous days highs and low levels as lines with optional label. Each line can be independently toggled on or off and like always, every conceivable customization option is available to the user. And the labels can be moved to the right (via the Input Settings) to allow unobstructed views of candles.
The midnight EST open and 8:30 AM EST open horizontal lines (developed by the Inner Circle Trader) are returning in this indicator. But the biggest improvement is that the lines stop at the current bar or the last bar of the trading day. Additionally, the time lines are displayed on previous days so the user can easily see how the candles reacted to these important times of the day.
The Session boxes and the horizontal time lines now can be set to only display a certain number of day back. If the user wants just to see Session boxes for the previous day only, they can do that. If the user wants to see the last 15 days of boxes or lines it is very easy to increase the days back in the settings. Currently, the max days back is 80 calendar days.
Additional Images
Easily visualize and understand price action across time
Everything is customizable so the user can easily match this indicator to their color preferences
Special Notes
To turn off box session text set opacity to 0%
Boxes and horizontal time lines only display when timeframe is <= 30 minute
ICT Session Killzone Boxes & DeviationsICT Killzone Sessions Boxes & Deviations is a convenience indicator that marks out past and future ICT killzones for Asia, London, and New York, London Close and CBDR.
The boxes highlights the highest and lowest candle opens of that session/killzone, which is what the deviations are based on. Two lines mark out the highest high and lowest low of that session.
This indicator also includes New York midnight opening price and a vertical divider showing you that time.
Future killzones are also marked out.
All times are set to GMT-4 so these boxes should work across most exchanges. Times and code can be changed if a few don't match up.
Included are week of day labels for your convenience.
For those who are unfamiliar, ICT Killzones are optimal times to look for trades during or before a session, often providing entry for trades with orderblock tests, FVG fills or stophunts.
Please note: This indicator only works well on 1HR timeframe and below. The default max timeframe setting is set to 15min, which can be changed in the menu.
There may be some bugs so please highlight anything you find in the comments below :)

CRYPTO MARKET SESSION ANALYZER INDICATORCrypto Market Session Analyzer is an easy-to-use yet powerful analysis tool that helps the trader visualize and analyze price movements over three different trading sessions:
1) European Session
2) US session
3) Asian session
Automatically tracks the corresponding levels for each market session.
This indicator can be used on all timeframes equal to or less than 15 minutes.
Although this is a simple indicator to use, some care must be taken when using it. The trader must be careful to set the correct times for each session according to his UTC timezone. By default the indicator uses UTC. If your console is set to UTC + 2 for example, you will need to take this into account and align the times correctly. You can adjust the time for each session from the user interface. Following the example, if the opening of the UE session is set to 9 and UTC of your console is set to UTC + 2, the script will proceed to create the level at opening time 11.
HOW IT WORK
The indicator automatically draws a horizontal line at the open and a horizontal line at the close of each session. The indicator clears past support and resistance every 24 hours to provide a clean and easy-to-read chart, updating new levels session after session.
Blue indicates the EU session.
Orange indicates the US session.
Purple indicates the Asian session.
AltSessionHello World
It’s no secret that trading sessions play a massive role in market movement and liquidity. We can clearly see in the image about how important identifying international trading hours are for a trader.
The Asian session starts around 1am GMT and often has a bearish bias through this session lasting for a few hours, after which Frankfurt and London traders start to come online and can often reverse the Asian sentiment.
The London session is the best session to trade traditionally starting around 7am GMT before the American traders come online and reverse market once again.
We have designed this indicator to help identify different trading hours easily with a background shade on the chart and also high/lows of the training session, as these levels can often be revisited.
We hope you find this indicator useful and please feel free to drop a comment if you have any updates you wish to be made or any future indicator script ideas, thank you.
Sessions with High/Low DiffThe main purpose of this indicator is to facilitate backtesting, but it may also be useful for traders to easily identify the current
active/open trading sessions on lower-timeframe charts.
This indicator also tracks the session high/low difference and plots it as a label on the last candle of the session once the last
bar of that session has finished printing and a new candle opened. The position and direction of the label is based on the
session open and close - if the session open is greater than the session close (which would equate to the equivalent of a red candle),
the label will be printed UNDER the last candle, and vice versa if the session close is above the session open.
The number printed inside the label is the difference between the session high and the session low, scaled to the minimum tick value of the chart.
Note #1: There is a Pinescript maximum of 500 labels allowed on any chart. While I could have gotten fancy and done some wizardry with label arrays,
I didn't really see a point to it. If labels are enabled for all 4 sessions at the same time, that would still have them available for the past 125
sessions, which would be about 6 months (approx 252 trading days per year, and this would cover 125 of them). If you limit to 2 sessions, you double
your potential look-back to almost a year (250 days out of the 252 average trading days each year), and for a single session, you double it yet again
to just under 2 years.
Note #2: As this indicator tracks open, high, low, and close for each session, it can potentially be enhanced (or forked) to construct "session candles".
I'm not sure what use this would be to anyone, but the pieces are there should someone find a use for it.
While it would be easy to add alerts on sessions opening/closing, I didn't see a purpose or value in that as it would be little more than a
glorified alarm clock. If I get enough demand to add them, I will gladly consider it.
MILK (My Intraday Lazy Kit)I made this script to group information considered useful in forex day trading, of course it can be used on crypto or other markets.
First of all, feel free to suggest any improvement/new feature you would consider interesting for such an use. This is not especially a final version and I'm sure other relevant information can be added in this tool.
Current features are the following
An international clock showing time and session status (open/closed) for 5 different cities. You can modify it in parameters.
Drawings of previous days/weeks open/high/low/close prices, which will be often used as supports and resistances zones.
The Clock shows
City
Time (with a bgcolor corresponding to the "period" of the day (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night)
Session status (Cyan when the corresponding session is open, blue when it's closed)
Price levels names are
YTD-H : Yesterday's high
YTD-L : Yesterday's low
YTD-C : Yesterday's close
YTD-O : Yesterday's open
PWH : Previous week high
PWL : Previous week low
PWO : Previous week open
PWC : Previous week close
Levels width and colors can be modified.
You can also enable/disable the clock, and daily or weekly levels in the options panel.
Nothing more to say for now, I mainly integrated information I like to have, but I'll probably add new features in it if I get some.
Sessions & Days Of The WeekTraders tend to focus their energy on specific sessions or time periods. This indicator will plot the days of the week, and also highlight the following sessions: Frankfurt (2:00am - 11:00am EST), London (3:00am - 12:00pm EST), New York (8:00am - 5:00pm EST), Sydney (5:00pm - 2:00am EST), Tokyo (7:00pm - 4:00am EST).
It’s important to be aware that Session Open and Close times will vary based on the time of year, as countries shift over to daylight savings time.
Market Sessions Open/Close LevelsThis indicator displays the market open and close price levels for the main trading sessions (Sydney, Tokyo, Frankfurt, London and New York). The Daily Line changes color depending on if price is trading above or below the level. Feel free to add or replace levels depending on your trading style and trading times.
Forex Trading SessionsThere are a million Forex Trading Session indicators out there, but I couldn't find one with all of the following requirements:
1. Automatically show the Sessions that actually affect the current pair (for instance, Tokyo session doesn't matter when trading EURGBP)
2. Editable colors or at the very least no distracting colors
3. Editable times for each exchange session
4. Unique indication of the start of a session vs the end of a session. (Sometimes, I don't notice a background going from Navy Blue to Black)
This indicator has everything I could ever want in a Sessions Tool:
Subdued default colors
Editable colors
Editable session ranges
Obvious, but not obnoxious indication of start and stop
Automatically hide irrelevant Sessions
Cheers. EFX
