J&A Sessions & News

Project J&A: Session Ranges is a precision-engineered tool designed for professional traders who operate based on Time & Price. Unlike standard session indicators that clutter the chart with background colors, this tool focuses on Dynamic Price Ranges to help you visualize the Highs, Lows, and liquidity pools of each session.

It is pre-configured for Frankfurt Time (Europe/Berlin) but is fully customizable for any global location.

Key Features

1. Dynamic Session Ranges (The Boxes) Instead of vertical stripes, this indicator draws Boxes that encapsulate the entire price action of a session.

Real-Time Tracking: The box automatically expands to capture the Highest High and Lowest Low of the current session.

Visual Clarity: Instantly see the trading range of Asia, London, and New York to identify breakouts or range-bound conditions.

2. The "Lunch Break" Logic (Unique Feature) Institutional volume often dies down during lunch hours. This indicator allows you to Split the Session to account for these breaks.

Enabled: The script draws two separate boxes (Morning Session vs. Afternoon Session), allowing you to see fresh ranges after the lunch accumulation.

Disabled: The script draws one continuous box for the full session.

3. Manual High-Impact News Scheduler Never get caught on the wrong side of a spike. Since TradingView scripts cannot access live calendars, this tool includes a Manual Scheduler for risk management.

Input: Simply input the time of high-impact events (e.g., CPI, NFP) from ForexFactory into the settings.

Visual: A dashed line appears on the chart at the exact news time.

Audio Alert: The system triggers an alarm 10 minutes before the event, giving you time to manage positions or exit trades.

Default Configuration (Frankfurt Time)

Asian Session: 01:00 - 10:00 (Lunch disabled)

London Session: 09:00 - 17:30 (Lunch: 12:00-13:00)

New York Session: 14:00 - 22:00 (Lunch: 18:00-19:00)

How to Use

Setup: Apply the indicator. The default timezone is Europe/Berlin. If you live elsewhere, simply change the "Your Timezone" setting to your local time (e.g., America/New_York), and the boxes will align automatically.

Daily Routine: Check the economic calendar in the morning. If there is a "Red Folder" event at 14:30, open the indicator settings and enter 14:30 into the News Scheduler.

Trade: Use the Session Highs and Lows as liquidity targets or breakout levels.

Settings & Customization

Timezone: Full support for major global trading hubs.

Colors: Customize the Box fill and Border colors for every session.

Labels: Rename sessions (e.g., "Tokyo" instead of "Asia") via the settings menu.
