ICT Session Zones & Sweep Signals [WillyAlgoTrader]🎯 ICT Session Zones & Sweep Signals is an overlay indicator that maps the full ICT session framework onto your chart: five configurable killzone boxes with adaptive high/low pivots, confirmed liquidity sweep signals scored by ATR-normalized wick depth, session VWAP lines, Asian session bias engine, D/W/M open and previous high/low levels, custom opening price lines, vertical timestamps, and a day-of-week label system. Everything is timezone-aware, timeframe-gated, and designed for 1m–15m intraday charts. 🏗️ Most session indicators on TradingView draw static time boxes and stop there. This indicator builds a complete ICT session analysis environment: it tracks killzone ranges in real time, extends session pivots beyond the killzone until price sweeps them, detects and confirms the sweep with multiple filters (ATR depth, body confirmation, cooldown), scores each sweep's strength, calculates session VWAP inside each killzone for fair value reference, tracks Asian session bias, and overlays D/W/M structural levels — all in one tool with a unified dashboard. 🔍 WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL 1️⃣ Confirmed liquidity sweep detection with strength scoring. The core signal engine detects when price wicks beyond a session high or low and closes back inside — the classic ICT liquidity grab pattern. Every sweep must pass four filters before becoming a signal: — 📏 ATR depth filter : the wick beyond the pivot must exceed a configurable ATR multiple (default 0.1×) — filtering out insignificant touches — 🕯️ Body confirmation : close must be beyond the candle body midpoint in the rejection direction (bullish sweep: close in upper half; bearish: close in lower half) — confirming genuine rejection, not just a wick — ⏱️ Cooldown filter : minimum bars between sweeps from the same session (default 3) — preventing rapid-fire signals from the same pivot — ✅ Bar-close confirmation : all sweeps require barstate.isconfirmed — no intrabar repainting Each confirmed sweep receives a strength score based on wick depth as an ATR multiple: Strong (≥ 0.5× ATR), Medium (≥ 0.2×), or Weak (< 0.2×). The score and strength appear in the label tooltip and on the dashboard. 2️⃣ Intelligent pivot lifecycle management. Session high/low lines are not static — they follow a lifecycle: — 🟢 Created at session start with the first bar's high/low — 📈 Updated during the session as new highs/lows form — ➡️ Extended beyond the session until swept or invalidated — 🎯 Swept: wick beyond + close back inside → sweep signal fires — ❌ Invalidated: only when price closes decisively beyond the level (not just a wick touch) — preventing premature pivot death from intrabar noise — 🔄 Mode option: "Until Swept" (pivot disappears after sweep) or "Always" (pivots extend indefinitely for historical reference) 3️⃣ Session VWAP (volume-weighted average price per killzone). Unlike the simple midpoint between session high and low, the session VWAP accumulates close × volume inside each killzone, providing the true volume-weighted fair value for that session. The VWAP line extends beyond the session end, serving as a more accurate equilibrium reference than the midpoint. This is especially useful on instruments with uneven volume distribution within a session. 4️⃣ Asian session bias engine. The dashboard continuously shows the Asian bias state: Bullish (price above Asia high), Bearish (price below Asia low), or Neutral (inside range). This directly implements the ICT concept that the Asian range sets the liquidity pool for London and NY sessions — if price is above Asia high, London/NY are expected to seek downside liquidity, and vice versa. 5️⃣ Five fully customizable killzones. Each killzone has independently configurable: — Session name, time window, and color — High/Low pivot label text (e.g., "AS.H" / "AS.L") — Enable/disable toggle Default zones cover the standard ICT framework: Asia (20:00–00:00), London (02:00–05:00), NY AM (09:30–11:00), NY Lunch (12:00–13:00), NY PM (13:30–16:00). All times follow the selected timezone. You can modify any zone to match your specific session definitions. 6️⃣ D/W/M structural levels with break alerts. The indicator tracks and draws: — 📅 Daily / Weekly / Monthly opening price lines — 📊 Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), Previous Week High/Low (PWH/PWL), Previous Month High/Low (PMH/PML) — 📍 Vertical day/week/month separators Each level extends across the chart with configurable style and width. Break alerts fire when price closes above PDH, below PDL, above PWH, below PWL, above PMH, or below PML — six structure-level alerts in addition to sweep alerts. 7️⃣ Custom opening price lines and vertical timestamps. Four configurable opening price slots let you mark any specific time's opening price (e.g., True Day Open at 00:00, 06:00 open, 10:00 open, 14:00 open). Four vertical timestamp slots add time-of-day vertical lines (e.g., 08:00 London open, 10:00 macro time, etc.). All follow the selected timezone and are trimmed by session history. 8️⃣ Killzone range comparison table. An optional range table shows each killzone's current range (high − low) alongside its N-session average range. This helps you identify when a session is extended beyond its typical range (potential exhaustion) or still compressed (potential expansion ahead). 9️⃣ Comprehensive dashboard. The info panel shows: — 🔵 Active session name (with overlap count when multiple sessions are active simultaneously) — 📊 Asian session bias (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral) — 🎯 Last sweep type, session, and strength with ATR score — 📈 Total sweep counts (bullish / bearish) — ⏱️ Current timeframe and symbol — 🏷️ Indicator version 🔟 Full timezone support with 35+ timezone options. All session calculations use a single timezone setting. Options include named timezones (America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo, etc.) and GMT offsets (GMT-12 through GMT+12). This ensures killzone boxes, pivot times, opening prices, and timestamps all align correctly regardless of your broker's server time. ⚙️ HOW IT WORKS 🏗️ Killzone box creation: On each bar, the indicator checks whether the current time falls inside each enabled killzone using the configured session string and timezone. When a session starts (current bar inside, previous bar outside), a new box is created with the bar's high/low. During the session, the box expands to encompass the full range. Pivot lines (high/low) are created at session start and updated as new extremes form. Session VWAP accumulates close × volume and updates on each bar. 🎯 Sweep detection: After a session ends, the pivot lines continue extending on each bar. On every confirmed bar, the indicator checks: does the wick exceed the pivot level? If yes, it evaluates four conditions: ATR depth threshold met, close back inside the level, body confirmation (close in correct half of candle), and cooldown since last sweep from this session. Only if all four pass does the sweep signal fire. The pivot is invalidated (stops extending) only when price closes decisively through the level — not on a wick touch alone. 📊 Sweep strength: Wick depth beyond the pivot is divided by ATR(14) to produce a dimensionless score. Strong ≥ 0.5×, Medium ≥ 0.2×, Weak < 0.2×. The score appears in the signal tooltip and on the dashboard, helping you prioritize higher-quality sweeps. 📏 Session VWAP: Inside each killzone, the indicator accumulates sum(close × volume) and sum(volume). VWAP = numerator / denominator. The line updates on each bar during the session and extends beyond session end as a reference level. Volume is floored at 1.0 to handle instruments with zero reported volume. 🔄 Asian bias: The dashboard reads the Asia session's most recent high and low pivot levels. If the current close is above Asia high → Bullish. Below Asia low → Bearish. Inside the range → Neutral. This updates in real time. 📅 DWM levels: On each D/W/M timeframe change, the indicator stores the previous period's high and low, then draws horizontal lines at those levels. Lines extend forward on each bar. Break detection fires alerts when price closes above the high or below the low for the first time since the period change. 📖 HOW TO USE 🎯 Recommended setup: — ⏱️ Timeframe: 1m–15m — the indicator auto-hides on timeframes ≥ the TF Limit setting (default 30m). Session zones and sweeps are most meaningful on intraday charts. — 🌐 Timezone : set to your exchange or broker timezone for accurate killzone alignment. For ICT concepts, America/New_York (EST/EDT) is the standard reference. — 📦 Session History (default 3): controls how many past sessions' boxes and pivot lines remain on chart. Increase for more context, decrease for cleaner charts. 👁️ Reading the chart: — 📦 Colored boxes = killzone time windows (Asia blue, London red, NY AM green, NY Lunch yellow, NY PM purple) — ─── Horizontal lines extending from boxes = session high/low pivots (active until swept or invalidated) — ··· Dotted lines = session midpoints and/or VWAP — 🟢 ▲ label below candle = confirmed bullish sweep (wick below session low + close back above) — 🔴 ▼ label above candle = confirmed bearish sweep (wick above session high + close back below) — Hover over sweep labels for tooltip: session name, strength, ATR score, price 🔁 ICT workflow with this indicator: 1. 🌏 Check Asian session range — note the high and low pivots 2. 📊 Read the dashboard — Asian Bias tells you the directional lean 3. 🇬🇧 During London killzone — watch for sweeps of Asian high/low pivots 4. 🇺🇸 During NY AM — watch for sweeps of London or Asian pivots 5. 🎯 When a sweep fires — check strength (Strong > Medium > Weak) and confluence with DWM levels 6. 📍 Use PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL as additional confluence — sweep + DWM level break = highest conviction 7. 🕐 NY Lunch — lower probability zone, expect consolidation 8. 🔄 NY PM — potential continuation or reversal of AM move, watch for PM pivot sweeps 🔧 Tuning sweep sensitivity: — 🎚️ Min Sweep Depth 0.0 : any wick beyond the pivot counts (most signals, more noise) — 🎚️ Min Sweep Depth 0.1 (default): requires 10% of ATR beyond pivot (balanced) — 🎚️ Min Sweep Depth 0.2–0.3 : only significant wicks qualify (fewer but stronger signals) — 🔄 Cooldown 0 : no restriction (same pivot can trigger multiple sweeps) — 🔄 Cooldown 3 (default): minimum 3 bars between sweeps from the same session — 🕯️ Body Confirmation On (default): filters weak wicks — recommended to keep enabled ⚙️ KEY SETTINGS REFERENCE ⚙️ Main: — Timezone (default GMT+0): 35+ options including named and GMT offset — Timeframe Limit (default 30m): hide all drawings on TFs ≥ this value — Session History (default 3): number of past sessions to keep visible 📦 Killzones: — 5 independently configurable zones: name, session time, color, enable/disable — Box Transparency (default 80%): killzone box fill opacity — Show Box Labels (default On): session name text inside boxes 📏 Session Pivots: — Show Session Pivots (default On): high/low lines from each killzone — Show Midpoints (default Off): 50% level between session high and low — Show Session VWAP (default Off): volume-weighted average price per killzone — Extend Pivots (default Until Swept): line stops after sweep, or "Always" for permanent extension — Show Price on Labels (default Off): append price value to pivot label text — Customizable pivot label text per killzone (e.g., AS.H, LO.H, AM.H) 🎯 Sweep Signals: — Min Sweep Depth (default 0.1× ATR): minimum wick beyond pivot — Cooldown (default 3 bars): minimum bars between sweeps from same session — Body Confirmation (default On): require close in correct body half 📅 Day / Week / Month: — Daily / Weekly / Monthly Open lines (each toggleable) — Previous D/W/M High/Low lines with labels (PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, PMH, PML) — Day / Week / Month separator verticals — Day-of-Week text labels (top or bottom, weekends hideable) — Unlimited DWM Lines (default Off): override session history limit 🕐 Opening Prices: — 4 configurable opening price slots (session time, name, color) — Line style and width settings 📍 Timestamps: — 4 configurable vertical timestamp slots (session time, color) — Line style and width settings 🎨 Visual: — Auto / Dark / Light theme detection — Bull / Bear signal colors — Watermark toggle 📊 Dashboards — 📋 Main Dashboard : active session, Asian bias, last sweep (type + session + strength + ATR score), sweep counts (bull/bear), timeframe, symbol, version — 📏 Range Table (optional): current range and N-session average range per killzone — identify extended vs. compressed sessions 🔔 Alerts Sweep alerts (bar-close confirmed): — 🟢 Sweep Buy — includes ticker, timeframe, price, strength, reason (which session's pivot was swept) — 🔴 Sweep Sell — same fields Both support plain text and JSON webhook format for bot integrations. DWM break alerts: — 📈 PDH / PWH / PMH Break — price closes above previous high — 📉 PDL / PWL / PML Break — price closes below previous low Six structural alerts, all bar-close confirmed. ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES — ⏱️ Designed for intraday timeframes (1m–15m). The indicator auto-hides on timeframes at or above the TF Limit setting. Session zones and sweeps lose their meaning on higher timeframes. — 🚫 No repainting. All sweep signals and DWM break alerts require barstate.isconfirmed. Pivot invalidation also occurs only on confirmed bar close, not intrabar. — 🌐 Timezone accuracy is critical. If your killzone boxes don't align with the expected session times, verify that the Timezone setting matches your exchange or broker timezone. For standard ICT analysis, use America/New_York. — 📊 Sweep signals indicate liquidity grabs — they show where stop-losses were likely triggered. They are not standalone entry signals. Combine with order flow, FVGs, order blocks, or other ICT concepts for complete trade setups. — 🔄 Session VWAP requires volume data. On instruments with no reported volume (some forex pairs), the VWAP line defaults to close-based calculation. — 📏 The range table's average is calculated from the last N completed sessions (configurable, default 5). It takes several sessions to build a meaningful average. — 🎯 Sweep strength is relative — "Strong" on a low-volatility instrument may represent a smaller absolute move than "Weak" on a high-volatility one. The ATR normalization makes strength comparable across timeframes but not across instruments with very different ATR profiles. — 🛠️ This is an analysis and signal tool , not an automated trading system. It visualizes ICT session concepts and detects liquidity sweeps — trade decisions remain yours.

Market Sessions + Resistance/Support filter [Dots3Red]This indicator is designed to identify the major global trading sessions: New York London Tokyo Hong Kong Shanghai Sydney Each session is displayed on the main chart as a colored box representing its active trading hours. Session Visualization For every session: The top boundary of the box represents the highest price reached during the session. The bottom boundary represents the lowest price reached during the session. In real-time market conditions, the session box dynamically updates as new highs or lows are formed. Each session’s opening and closing are labelled directly on the chart: NY O / NY C — New York Open / Close LN O / LN C — London Open / Close TK O / TK C — Tokyo Open / Close HK O / HK C — Hong Kong Open / Close (optional) SD O / SD C — Sydney Open / Close (optional) SH O / SH C — Shanghai Open / Close (optional) The indicator also includes a statistics table displayed in the top-right corner of the chart. The table provides key session data, including: Session Open/Close status Session High Session Low Support & Resistance Proximity Filter The indicator also includes a Support & Resistance proximity filter. The purpose of this filter is to automatically track how close the current session’s price action is to the highs or lows of previous sessions. Proximity is calculated as a percentage. The default value is 0.1%, but this can be adjusted by the user in the settings. When the current price approaches a previous session’s high or low within the defined percentage threshold, the indicator draws a green dotted line to highlight the level. Example If the previous session high is 100 and the proximity threshold is 0.1%, the filter will trigger when the current high exceeds 99.90 (within 0.1% of 100). A green dotted line will then be drawn from that previous high level to the current bar.

CandelaCharts - Quadratic Killzones📝 Overview The Quadratic Killzones indicator is a specialized tool for visualizing key trading sessions and their price ranges divided into quadrants. These session ranges are significant because they help traders identify potential support and resistance zones based on session highs and lows. The indicator tracks multiple sessions (Asia, London Open, NY AM, NY Lunch, NY PM) and displays their price ranges with quadrant levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Session Visualization: Boxes and lines highlight trading session ranges directly on the chart. Quadrant Levels: Price ranges are divided into quadrants for precise level identification. Level Invalidation: Lines extend until price invalidates the level, providing dynamic support/resistance tracking. Session highs and lows serve as key reference points for intraday traders. The quadrant divisions help identify premium (above 50%) and discount (below 50%) zones within each session's range. 📦 Features Key features of the indicator include: Multi-Session Support: Track up to 6 different sessions (Asia, London Open, NY AM, NY Lunch, NY PM, Custom). Quadrant Division: Session ranges divided into 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% levels. Level Invalidation: Lines automatically terminate when price invalidates the level. Session Boxes: Visual boxes showing the session range with optional session name labels. Customizable Styling: Configurable colors, line styles, and display options per session. Time Dividers: Optional vertical dividers at specified timeframe intervals. ⚙️ Settings History Sessions: Number of historical sessions to display (1-10). Session Settings (First through Fifth + Custom) Show: Toggle visibility of each session. Name: Custom label for the session (AS, LO, NYAM, NYLA, NYPM). Time: Session time range in 24-hour format. Color: Color for the session's boxes and lines. Styles Lines: Line style (solid, dashed, dotted). Line Width: Thickness of the lines (1-4). Show Box: Display session range as a box. Show Labels: Display high/low labels at line endpoints. Show Session Name: Display session name inside the box. Show Quadrant Lines: Display 25% and 75% quadrant levels. Show Percentage Labels: Display percentage labels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Dividers Show: Toggle vertical time dividers. Timeframe: Interval for divider lines. Style: Divider line style. Width: Divider line thickness. Color: Divider line color. Extend: Extend dividers to chart edges. 🌟 Benefits Why use Quadratic Killzones over standard session indicators? Granularity : The quadratic division (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) allows you to identify "Premium" and "Discount" pricing within a specific session's range, offering more precision than simple High/Low markers. Clean Charts : The "Level Invalidation" feature automatically stops drawing lines once price breaks them. This keeps your chart clean and focused only on active, defended levels. Time Alignment : With the "New York Midnight" setting, you ensure your session data is aligned with the true institutional trading day, regardless of your broker's server time. Structure Identification : Quickly spot when a session range is being respected (ranging/consolidation) or broken (expansion/trend). ⚡️ Showcase Session Boxes Session Boxes with Quadrants Session Boxes with Labels Session Deviders Multiple Sessions 🚨 Alerts This indicator does not include built-in alerts.

ICT Time-based Liquidity SessionsThis indicator plots the three primary index futures sessions (Asia, London, New York) using fixed Eastern Time windows to help traders visually track where liquidity is most likely to build and be attacked. The goal is not to mark exchange business hours, but to highlight behavioral time blocks where sweeps, displacement, and HTF inefficiency reactions statistically occur more often. Session Windows (ET): Asia: 18:00 – 03:00 Range construction, slower movement, sets highs/lows often targeted later. London: 03:00 – 12:00 Increased volatility, frequent raids on Asia range, early displacement. New York AM: 09:30 – 12:00 Highest probability window for liquidity sweeps, HTF FVG reactions, and expansion. New York PM: 12:00 – 16:00 Secondary continuation or controlled reversals, generally lower volatility than AM. Purpose Visualize session ranges and transitions. Identify likely sweep zones (Asia High/Low, London High/Low). Align entries with time-of-day confluence instead of price alone. Reduce noise by keeping session boxes clean while mentally noting overlaps (especially London–NY). Use Case Designed for equity index futures (NQ, ES, YM). Best paired with liquidity levels, HTF inefficiencies, and displacement/FVG models to improve timing and context rather than act as a standalone signal.

Sakalau02 Weekly Daily SessionsSakalau02: Weekly Daily Sessions – The Architecture of the Trading Week The "Sakalau02 Weekly Daily Sessions" is a high-definition visual mapping tool designed to dissect the trading week into distinct daily blocks. More than just a period separator, this script defines the "field of play" for each day, allowing you to visualize where liquidity builds and how price interacts with temporal boundaries. Here is why this script is the cornerstone of a professional Top-Down analysis: 📅 High-Definition Daily Structure The indicator transforms your chart into a logical map of the week, providing visual support for all 7 days, with a focus on active trading from Monday to Friday. Visual Identity: Each day is assigned its own unique color, helping you instantly recognize repetitive market signatures (like the "Tuesday Reversal" or "Mid-week Expansion"). Timezone Precision: Featuring a dedicated Timezone Input, the script ensures that daily boxes open exactly at 00:00 according to your chosen financial hub (UTC, New York, London, etc.). 📐 Range and Liquidity Analysis Through its Dynamic Box System, the script monitors price evolution in real-time: High/Low Tracking: Automatically expands the box boundaries as price carves out new daily highs or lows. The 0.5 Level (Daily Equilibrium): Automatically calculates the midpoint of the entire day. This is the critical "Fair Value" zone where price decides whether to trend or mean-revert. Open/Close Trajectory: A discreet line tracks price relative to the daily open, providing an instant read on the intraday bias (Bullish/Bearish). ⚡ Precision Alert System Never miss a structural shift. The indicator comes equipped with built-in alerts for: Session Starts: Be notified the moment a new daily cycle begins. Liquidity Sweeps (New High/Low): Receive alerts the second price breaches the current day’s high or low—perfect for executing Judas Swings or Expansion setups. 💎 Versatile Display Modes Boxes Mode: Encapsulates price for a clear view of market structure. Zones Mode: Highlights the background for a cleaner integration with secondary indicators. Timeline Mode: Marks the base of the chart, keeping the price action area completely untouched. Piața nu este doar preț, este ritm. În timp ce alții se pierd în zgomotul fiecărei secunde, eu definesc limitele zilei. O structură creată pentru traderul care știe că volumul urmează timpul, iar profitul urmează disciplina — păstrați ochii pe echilibrul zilei!" — Semnat, Andrei (Sakalau02) ⏳

Weekly Cycles [SolQuant]The Weekly Cycles indicator maps recurring weekly behavioral phases onto the chart using colored daily boxes and labels. It divides each week into distinct phases based on observed market patterns, providing structural context for intraweek trading decisions. █ USAGE Weekly Phases Each day of the week is assigned a behavioral phase: • Sunday — Dead Gap Zone: Low-liquidity period where gaps from the weekend close can create traps. Price action during this phase is often unreliable for directional bias. • Monday — False Move: The early-week move that frequently reverses. Monday often establishes a range extreme that gets swept later in the week. • Tuesday — Consolidation: A transition day where the market digests Monday's move and begins building the structure for the week's main directional move. • Wednesday/Thursday — Midweek Reversal: The highest-probability window for the week's primary directional move. This phase often sees the week's true trend establish itself. • Friday — Model Completion: The closing phase where weekly targets are either achieved or the move stalls. Profit-taking and position squaring are common. • Saturday — Weekend Trap: Low-liquidity continuation of Friday's action that can create misleading signals for the following week. Visual Display Each phase is represented by a colored box spanning the day's price range. Labels at the top of each box display the phase name for quick reference. The boxes update in real time as each day's high and low develop. █ DETAILS The indicator uses the day of the week (dayofweek) to assign phases. Box boundaries are defined by each day's opening time through the next day's opening time, with the price range tracking the high and low of bars within that window. Historical boxes are maintained up to a configurable maximum count. Boxes are created at the start of each new day and their height is updated with each new bar as the day's range expands. █ SETTINGS • Show Phase Labels: Toggle the text labels above each daily box. • Phase Colors: Customizable colors for each day/phase. • Max Boxes: Controls how many historical weekly cycle boxes are displayed. Weekly cycle phases are based on observed market patterns and do not guarantee that price will follow the described behavior in any given week. Market conditions vary and phases should be used as context, not as standalone signals. This indicator does not constitute financial advice.

Markets [SolQuant]The Markets indicator displays global trading session times with visual range boxes and highlights market maker activity zones. It maps the three major sessions — New York, London, and Asia — along with specialized zones that have been observed to correlate with specific market behaviors. █ USAGE Session Boxes Colored boxes are drawn for each active trading session, spanning from the session open to the session close. The box height covers the price range traded during that session. Each session uses a distinct color for quick identification: • New York: The primary session for US equities and crypto volume. • London: Overlaps with New York for peak liquidity in forex and global markets. • Asia: Tokyo/Hong Kong session, often setting the tone for the following London session. Session boxes provide immediate visual context about which global market was active during any given price action. Market Maker Zones Two specialized time windows are highlighted: • Reversal Session: A time window commonly associated with market reversals and directional shifts. • Gap Session: A time window where gaps and displacement moves frequently occur. These zones are derived from observed patterns in market maker behavior and are intended as awareness tools rather than predictive signals. █ DETAILS Sessions are defined by fixed time ranges in their respective timezones. The indicator uses daylight saving time-aware timezone strings to ensure accuracy year-round. Each session's price range (high/low) is tracked dynamically and the box height updates in real time as the session progresses. Market maker zones use the same box-drawing mechanism but target narrower time windows. All boxes are automatically removed after a configurable maximum count to prevent chart clutter. █ SETTINGS • Show NY / London / Asia: Toggle each session's display. • Show Reversal Session / Gap Session: Toggle market maker zones. • Session Colors: Customizable colors for each session and zone. • Max Boxes: Controls how many historical session boxes are kept on chart. This indicator displays fixed time-based session zones and does not predict price direction. Market maker zones are based on observed patterns that may not persist. It does not constitute financial advice.

NQ Statistical MapperNQ Statistical Mapper CRITICAL DISCLAIMER - READ FIRST WARNING: THIS INDICATOR IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR NQ (NASDAQ-100 E-MINI FUTURES) ONLY All statistics displayed in this indicator are HARD-CODED values derived from a comprehensive analysis of 12 years (2013-2025) of 1-minute NQ futures data. These statistics are calculated offline using Python and embedded directly into the indicator code. These probabilities DO NOT apply to any instrument other than NQ What This Indicator Does The NQ Statistical Mapper is a data-driven trading tool that displays historical probability statistics for intraday NQ price behavior based on overnight session structure and opening positioning. Rather than generating signals, it provides context by showing: Three trading sessions with visual boxes: Asia (8PM-2AM), London (2AM-8AM), and New York (8AM-4PM) Eastern Time Key price levels with historical hit rate percentages showing the probability these levels are touched during the NY cash session (8AM-4PM) Context-aware statistics that change based on current market conditions Session range analysis showing whether Asia and London ranges are unusually large or small compared to recent history Core Methodology and Statistical Foundation Pattern Detection System The indicator automatically detects one of four overnight session patterns based on how the London session (2AM-8AM) interacts with the Asia session (8PM-2AM): London Engulfs Asia: London high is greater than Asia high AND London low is less than Asia low Asia Engulfs London: Asia high is greater than or equal to London high AND Asia low is less than or equal to London low London Partial Up: London high is greater than Asia high BUT London low is greater than or equal to Asia low (took out Asia high only) London Partial Down: London low is less than Asia low BUT London high is less than or equal to Asia high (took out Asia low only) Each pattern has distinct statistical characteristics that influence NY session behavior. Conditional Probability Framework The indicator uses a conditional probability approach where statistics adapt based on: Primary Condition: Where does NY open (8:00 AM) relative to the London session midpoint? "NY opens above London midpoint" "NY opens below London midpoint" This single condition dramatically changes the probabilities. For example: When NY opens above London midpoint: 76.68% chance NY hits the London high before the London low during 8AM-4PM When NY opens below London midpoint: 73.32% chance NY hits the London low before the London high during 8AM-4PM Secondary Condition: The overnight pattern further refines these probabilities. Each combination of "NY position vs London midpoint" plus "overnight pattern" has unique hit rate statistics calculated from the 12-year dataset. "Hit First" Statistics Explained The table displays "Hit High First" and "Hit Low First" percentages. These answer the question: "During the NY cash session (8AM-4PM), if price eventually touches both the London high AND London low, which one does it touch FIRST?" Example interpretation: Hit High First: 76.68% means that in 76.68% of historical days with this setup, price touched the London high before touching the London low Hit Low First: 22.48% means London low was touched first The remaining approximately 1% represents days where neither level was hit during the NY session This is fundamentally different from asking "will price go up or down" - it is about the sequence of range expansion during the NY session. Displayed Levels and Their Meanings Session Highs/Lows (Solid Lines) These appear when each session completes and extend through the NY session: Asia High/Low (Orange): The highest and lowest prices during 8PM-2AM EST London High/Low (Blue): The highest and lowest prices during 2AM-8AM EST Each level shows its hit rate percentage - the probability that NY session price (8AM-4PM) will touch that level, based on the current pattern and NY opening position. Hourly Midpoint Levels (Dashed Gray Lines) Three specific hourly levels with remarkably high hit rates: 7-8 AM Midpoint: Average of high and low during the 7-8 AM hour. Hit rates consistently above 93-94%, essentially sitting at the 8 AM open price (mean distance: -0.001%) Midnight Open: The opening price at midnight EST. Hit rates vary from 62-87% depending on pattern and setup 2-3 AM Midpoint: Average of high and low during the 2-3 AM hour. Hit rates range from 67-92% These levels are derived from mean-reversion behavior - price tends to revisit certain overnight reference points during the NY session. Session Midpoints (Dotted Lines) Optional display of Asia and London session midpoints. These lines terminate when their respective sessions end, providing additional reference levels for session positioning. Statistics Table Breakdown The table displays five sections of information: 1. SETUP Section Shows whether "NY opens above/below London midpoint" Displays the detected overnight pattern (1 of 4 types) Sample size: Number of historical days matching this exact setup Hit High First / Hit Low First: Directional bias percentages 2. HIT RATES (8AM-4PM) Section Shows probability that each level gets touched at any point during the NY cash session: 7-8 AM Midpoint: Almost always touched (93-97% depending on pattern) Midnight Open: Varies significantly (62-87%) based on whether the overnight pattern is aligned or contrary to NY's opening position 2-3 AM Midpoint: Strong hit rates (67-92%) These are independent probabilities - they do not predict which is hit first, just whether each level gets visited. 3. ASIA RANGE Section Real-time comparison of today's Asia session range versus recent history: Sessions Captured: Shows how many sessions are in the rolling calculation (e.g., "18 / 50" = 18 sessions captured out of 50 requested). This alerts users if their chart history is insufficient Current Range: Today's Asia high minus Asia low in points Mean Range: Average range over the captured sessions Percentile Rank: Where today's range falls in the distribution 80th percentile (red background): Unusually large range - top 20% of days 60-80th percentile (light gray): Above average 20-60th percentile (white): Normal range Less than 20th percentile (light blue): Unusually small range - bottom 20% of days 4. LONDON RANGE Section Identical structure to Asia Range section, analyzing the London session's range characteristics. Why Percentile Rank Instead of Standard Deviation? Intraday ranges exhibit right-skewed distributions with fat tails (volatility spikes create extreme outliers). Percentile rank is distribution-free and robust to these characteristics, providing more reliable identification of unusual ranges than z-scores or standard deviations. How To Use This Indicator For Context and Confluence This is not a standalone trading system. The indicator provides statistical context to support other analysis: Understanding Session Bias: If the table shows 76% probability of hitting the session high first, you know there is a statistical lean toward upside range expansion Target Setting: If trading a breakout above the overnight high, knowing that Asia high gets hit 75% of the time helps assess target viability Entry Timing: The 7-8 AM midpoint's 94% hit rate makes it an excellent re-entry or scaling level Range Expansion Assessment: Percentile rankings help identify whether overnight sessions showed abnormal volatility, which may influence NY session behavior Pattern-Specific Insights London Partial Up plus NY Opens Below London Midpoint: Midnight open hit rate jumps to 87.82% (strong mean reversion) Suggests counter-trend reversal back toward overnight lows is likely London Partial Down plus NY Opens Above London Midpoint: Midnight open hit rate is 86.30% Mirror pattern - reversion toward overnight highs Asia Engulfs London Pattern: Very high hit rates (85-98%) across all levels Suggests consolidation/mean reversion during NY session rather than directional expansion Typical Workflow 8:00 AM: Review the statistics table - which pattern occurred? Where did NY open relative to London midpoint? Check Hit Rates: Note which levels have the highest probabilities of being touched Assess Range Percentiles: Are Asia/London ranges unusually large or small? High percentiles may indicate already-extended ranges Combine With Your Strategy: Use the statistics as confluence with your technical analysis, support/resistance, or order flow Customization Options Trading Sessions Settings Session Visualization: Toggle each session on/off independently Customize colors for each session (New York, London, Asia) Adjust background transparency using "Range Area Transparency" slider (0-100, default 90) Show/hide session outlines with "Range Outline" checkbox Each session has three customizable parameters on the same line: Checkbox to enable/disable the session Text field to rename the session label if desired Color picker to select the session's display color Hit Rate Levels Settings Master Controls: "Show Hit Rate Levels" - Master toggle to show or hide all level lines and labels Individual Level Toggles: "7-8 AM Midpoint" - Toggle the 7-8 AM hour midpoint level "Midnight Open" - Toggle the midnight opening price level "2-3 AM Midpoint" - Toggle the 2-3 AM hour midpoint level Hourly Level Styling (applies to 7-8 AM Mid, Midnight, and 2-3 AM Mid): "Hourly Level Color" - Color picker for all three hourly levels "Hourly Level Line Width" - Thickness of hourly level lines (1-5, default 1) "Hourly Level Line Style" - Choose between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines (default Dashed) Session High/Low Styling (applies to Asia High/Low and London High/Low): "Session High/Low Line Width" - Thickness of session extreme lines (1-5, default 1) "Session High/Low Line Style" - Choose between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines (default Solid) Additional Options: "Show Session Midpoints" - Toggle display of Asia and London midpoint reference lines (dotted lines that end when each session completes) "Label Text Size" - Size of percentage labels on all levels (tiny, small, normal, large, default small) Table Settings Statistics Table Controls: "Show Statistics Table" - Master toggle to display or hide the entire statistics table "Stats Table Position" - Choose from 9 positions on the chart: Top: Top Left, Top Center, Top Right Middle: Middle Left, Middle Center, Middle Right Bottom: Bottom Left, Bottom Center, Bottom Right "Stats Table Size" - Text size within the table (Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge, default Small) "Sessions for Stats Calculation" - Number of historical sessions to use for percentile calculations (5-100, default 50) Lower values (20-30): More responsive to recent market conditions Higher values (50-100): More stable baseline, requires more chart history The table displays "Sessions Captured" to show how many sessions were actually available Important Limitations and Considerations 1. This Is Historical Data, Not Prediction The statistics show what happened in the past given similar setups. Markets evolve, regimes change, and past probability does not guarantee future outcomes. A 75% hit rate means that in 25% of historical cases, the level was NOT hit. 2. Chart History Requirements TradingView imposes data limits: 5-minute chart: Approximately 10 days of history (enough for minimal statistics) 1-minute chart: Approximately 2-3 days of history (insufficient for percentile calculations) Use 5-minute or higher timeframes to ensure adequate session capture The table displays "Sessions Captured" (e.g., 18/50) to alert you when your chart history is limited. 3. Session Timing Is Fixed (EST) All sessions use America/New_York timezone: Asia: 8PM-2AM London: 2AM-8AM NY: 8AM-4PM These times do not adjust for daylight saving changes in other regions. The definitions match CME NQ futures trading hours. 4. The Statistics Are From 2013-2025 Data The 12-year analysis period includes: Multiple market regimes (bull/bear/sideways) Various volatility environments QE, taper tantrums, COVID, 2022 bear market, 2023-2024 rally However, it is still a limited sample. Future market structure changes (algorithmic trading evolution, regulatory changes, etc.) may alter these probabilities over time. 5. No Real-Time Calculation This indicator does not recalculate statistics based on your chart's data. It displays pre-calculated probabilities. The only real-time calculations are: Which pattern occurred today Where NY opened relative to London midpoint Current session ranges and their percentile ranks (based on your chart's recent history) Statistical Methodology Details Data Source Instrument: NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini Futures) continuous contract Timeframe: 1-minute bars Period: January 2013 - January 2025 (12 years) Sample Size: 3,132 trading days analyzed Analysis Approach Each trading day was classified by overnight pattern (4 types). NY opening position vs London midpoint was determined. For each combination (4 patterns times 2 positions equals 8 scenarios), the following was measured: How often each level (session highs/lows, hourly midpoints) was touched during 8AM-4PM Which session extreme (high or low) was hit first Mean distance from 8 AM open to each level Session ranges were measured for percentile analysis. All percentages were rounded to two decimal places for display. Why These Specific Levels? The levels were not chosen arbitrarily: Session highs/lows: Natural support/resistance from overnight price discovery 7-8 AM midpoint: The final hour before NY open often establishes the opening range balance point Midnight open: Represents the "true" start of the trading day (6PM-5PM structure) 2-3 AM midpoint: Captures early London price action balance Testing showed these levels had the highest and most consistent hit rates across different patterns and setups. Technical Implementation Notes Language: Pine Script v5 Drawing Objects: Uses boxes for session visualization, lines for levels, labels for percentages, table for statistics Performance: Optimized for real-time use with max limits set (500 boxes, 500 lines, 500 labels) Calculations Per Bar: Session detection (3 sessions) Hourly detection (3 hourly periods) Pattern classification Conditional probability lookup Percentile rank calculation (for session ranges) All heavy statistical analysis was performed offline. The indicator only performs simple lookups and real-time range tracking. Educational Value Beyond trading application, this indicator demonstrates: Conditional Probability: How market context (opening position, overnight structure) dramatically changes probabilities Mean Reversion Dynamics: Why certain levels (7-8 AM midpoint, midnight) have such high revisit rates Pattern Recognition: How overnight session relationships create different NY session behaviors Distribution Analysis: Using percentile ranks instead of parametric statistics for skewed data Understanding these concepts helps traders develop more sophisticated market models beyond simple "support and resistance." Final Notes This indicator is a tool for informed decision-making, not a crystal ball. It answers questions like: "What typically happens in this setup?" "How often does price revisit these levels?" "Is this overnight range unusual?" It does NOT answer: "Should I buy or sell right now?" "Where will price be at 4 PM?" "What will happen tomorrow?" Combine these statistics with proper risk management, sound trading strategy, and awareness that any individual day can deviate significantly from historical norms. The power of this indicator lies in providing objective, data-driven context to complement your analysis - not in replacing your judgment.

Market Structure BOS - Session Based (5m, NY Time) This indicator visualizes market structure using a strict, rule-based Break of Structure (BOS) logic, calculated on the 5-minute timeframe and evaluated in New York time. The script detects swing Highs and Lows based on candle direction (bullish → bearish for Highs, bearish → bullish for Lows). From each validated structure point, a horizontal level is drawn at the true price extreme (wick included). Once created, structure levels never repaint or move. A Break of Structure is confirmed only when a candle CLOSES beyond the most recent valid structure level: - Bullish BOS: close above the latest High - Bearish BOS: close below the latest Low The indicator is trend-aware: once a bullish or bearish BOS is confirmed, only BOS signals in the same direction are shown until the trend changes. This prevents duplicate or redundant structure breaks during trends. Session logic is fully integrated and based on New York time: - Asia - London (with pre-open range) - New York (with pre-open range) Structure levels and BOS logic can optionally reset at the end of each New York trading day, keeping the chart clean and session-relevant. The indicator is designed for traders who focus on intraday price action, market structure, and session-based behavior without visual clutter. No labels, alerts, or signals are plotted — only clean structure levels.
