Volume with Sessions, SMA, and ATR Pine Script creates a custom volume indicator with several features, including:
SMA of Volume: It calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of the volume, which helps identify trends and determine if the current volume is above or below the average.
ATR (Average True Range): It calculates the ATR, which measures market volatility over a defined period.
Bullish/Bearish Volume Coloring: The script colors the volume bars depending on whether the price is moving up (bullish) or down (bearish), and whether the volume is above or below the SMA of volume.
Session Highlighting: It defines two major trading sessions:
NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) session from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
LSE (London Stock Exchange) session from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM GMT. These sessions are highlighted with background colors for easy identification.
Plotting: The volume is plotted as a histogram with varying colors depending on price movement and volume relative to its SMA. The ATR is also plotted as a purple line, and the SMA of volume is displayed as an orange line.
Background Colors: Background colors are applied during the NYSE and LSE sessions to visually differentiate between these trading periods.
Here's a breakdown of each section:
Key Inputs:
smaLength and atrLength: User-defined values for the lengths of the SMA and ATR calculations.
Main Calculations:
smaVolume: The SMA of the volume over the user-defined length (smaLength).
atrValue: The Average True Range over the user-defined length (atrLength).
Color Logic for Volume Bars:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, the volume is considered bullish, and the bar is colored green. If the volume is above the SMA, it’s a darker green; otherwise, it’s a lighter shade.
If the current close is lower than the previous close, the volume is considered bearish, and the bar is colored red. If the volume is above the SMA, it’s a darker red; otherwise, it’s a lighter red.
Plotting:
The script plots the volume as a histogram with dynamic coloring.
The SMA of the volume is plotted as a line.
ATR is plotted as a purple line for reference.
Background Color Highlighting:
The background is colored green during the NYSE session and blue during the LSE session.

ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones
Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.
The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
Combining kill zones and pivot points in financial market analysis provides several advantages :
Enhanced Market Sentiment Analysis : Aligns key price levels with high-activity periods for a clearer market sentiment.
Improved Timing for Trade Entries and Exits : Helps better time trades based on when price movements are most likely.
Higher Probability of Successful Trades : Increases the accuracy of predicting market movements and placing profitable trades.
Strategic Stop-Loss and Profit Target Placement : Allows for precise risk management by strategically setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Versatility Across Different Time Frames : Effective in both short and long time frames, suitable for various trading strategies.
Enhanced Trend Identification and Confirmation : Confirms trends using both pivot levels and high-activity periods, ensuring stronger trend validation.
In essence, this integrated approach enhances decision-making, optimizes trading performance, and improves risk management.
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points
There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.
ka66: FX Sessions High/LowThis indicator is specific to the 24-hour Forex Market. It provides 2 features:
Demarcating forex sessions with open and close lines. Note that looking at various sources online, we use the convention that the Asia session starts with the Tokyo market open, rather than the earlier Sydney session. Presumably this is better since we then have more liquidity in the market. Note that we have three sessions: Asia, London, New York.
At the end of each session, we begin plotting that (closed) session's high and low, which acts as a natural support and resistance for the Forex market. This is the key feature it provides. The first feature is mainly there for a visual guide, which can be turned off via the UI settings, but it certainly helps verifying the logic!
For more background, we are taking the idea of Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), but adjusting it to a multi-session market like Forex. In essence, this is is a "Previous Session High/Low" indicator.
PDH/PDL works fine when you have a market with Regular Trading Hours, ignoring Extended Hours. However, in the Forex market, each session can have differing sentiments, e.g. we often see say London bringing prices up, and New York bringing them back down.
The break of session high/lows (or bouncing off them) can reflect where the potential direction price is going to take.
I also categorised this as a Sentiment indicator, because support and resistance areas where prices react do provide the sentiment of the market. They aren't just lines, they are prices of interest to major players.
MainFX session indicatorScript Title: MainFX Session Indicator with Customizable Lines
Overview:
This script is designed to help traders visually identify key market sessions on their TradingView charts. It marks both the opening and closing of major sessions (Frankfurt, London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo) by drawing lines and labels on the chart. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing you to define specific session times, choose your preferred time zone, and adjust the visual appearance of all lines.
Key Features:
Custom Session Times:
Each session’s start and end times are defined by user inputs in a simple HHMM-HHMM format. This means you can adjust the sessions to match the exact market hours you follow, making the indicator flexible for different trading strategies and markets.
Time Zone Flexibility:
The "Chart/Local Time Zone" input lets you override the default time zone of your chart. By setting a specific time zone (e.g., "Africa/Lagos" or "Africa/Accra"), the script calculates session start and end events relative to that zone. This ensures that, regardless of where you are trading from, the session markers accurately reflect the intended market hours and adjust automatically for Daylight Saving Time if applicable.
Open Range Levels (ORH/ORL):
When a session opens or closes, the script draws horizontal lines at the high and low of the candle immediately before the event. These levels act as the Open Range High (ORH) and Open Range Low (ORL) markers. They serve as key reference points for traders to gauge price levels established just before a session change.
Customizable Visuals:
Every visual element is customizable. You can adjust the color, width, and style (defaulting to a dotted line) of both the ORH/ORL lines and the combined session lines that label open and close events. This allows you to tailor the indicator to match your charting style and ensure that the lines stand out clearly.
Session Event Detection:
The script utilizes helper functions to check each bar on the chart. It compares the current bar’s session status with that of the previous bar to determine whether a session has just started or ended. When such a transition is detected, it triggers the drawing of the appropriate lines and labels.
Optimized for Intraday Trading:
Since the script’s functionality is based on minute-level bar changes, it is best used on 1-minute or lower timeframes. This ensures precision in marking the exact moments when sessions transition, which is critical for intraday trading strategies.
How It Works:
Session Timing:
The script calculates the session periods using the time() function with the user-defined session strings and time zone. This makes it independent of the chart’s inherent time settings.
Event Triggering:
When the current bar transitions into or out of a session (i.e., the session status changes between bars), the script detects this change. It then draws horizontal lines at the previous candle’s high and low (marking ORH and ORL) and adds session labels for clarity.
Visual Customization:
Users can easily change the appearance of the drawn lines and session labels via the script’s input options, ensuring that the indicators are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally clear.
Usage:
For Traders:
Use this indicator to keep track of critical market sessions and to spot participants in the session.
Customization:
Adjust session times and the time zone to suit your local market or the specific market you are analyzing.
Visual Clarity:
Customize line styles to ensure that your chart remains clear and that the session markers are easy to interpret even during overlapping sessions.

New York, London and custom trading sessionsHi Traders
The script :
The Time sessions script plots the trading sessions of both New York and London markets (background fills), In addition to the above the script also plots a user defined trading session period (vertical lines). All plots may be toggled true or false inorder to ensure you can focus on the respective market / markets / custom session.
Market sessions are useful for technical or quantitative analysis, as the majority of trading activity and net daily volume occurs in these zones, in fact the U.S./London market overlap tends to have the greatest volume accumulation across that range of time / bars than that range at any other time within the daily session. For FX traders it may also be important to take into account for many currency pairs the average exchange rate pip movement is greatest within these zones.
The custom session, is intended to be used for traders who trade only within specific intervals within the market session or day for 24/7 traded asset classes
Additional notes :
Not as of now, I have only added three optional trading sessions. If you would like to change the sessions, copy the scripts code and change the "ctm_session" default time range value, insuring the second time value is 1 min > than the first.
As always i Hope this is a useful script, and I will be updating this script in the near future.

Multi-Session ORBThe Multi-Session ORB Indicator is a customizable Pine Script (version 6) tool designed for TradingView to plot Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It allows traders to define specific ORB durations and session times in Central Daylight Time (CDT), making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. Customizable ORB Duration: Users can set the ORB duration (default: 15 minutes) via the inputMax parameter, determining the time window for calculating the high and low of each session’s opening range.
2. Flexible Session Times: The indicator supports user-defined session and ORB times for:
◦ Sydney: Default ORB (17:00–17:15 CDT), Session (17:00–01:00 CDT)
◦ Tokyo: Default ORB (19:00–19:15 CDT), Session (19:00–04:00 CDT)
◦ London: Default ORB (02:00–02:15 CDT), Session (02:00–11:00 CDT)
◦ New York: Default ORB (08:30–08:45 CDT), Session (08:30–16:00 CDT)
3. Session-Specific ORB Levels: For each session, the indicator calculates and tracks the high and low prices during the specified ORB period. These levels are updated dynamically if new highs or lows occur within the ORB timeframe.
4. Visual Representation:
◦ ORB high and low lines are plotted only during their respective session times, ensuring clarity.
◦ Each session’s lines are color-coded for easy identification:
▪ Sydney: Light Yellow (high), Dark Yellow (low)
▪ Tokyo: Light Pink (high), Dark Pink (low)
▪ London: Light Blue (high), Dark Blue (low)
▪ New York: Light Purple (high), Dark Purple (low)
◦ Lines are drawn with a linewidth of 2 and disappear when the session ends or if the timeframe is not intraday (or exceeds the ORB duration).
5. Intraday Compatibility: The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts) and only displays when the chart’s timeframe multiplier is less than or equal to the ORB duration.
How It Works:
• Session Detection: The script uses the time() function to check if the current bar falls within the user-defined ORB or session time windows, accounting for all days of the week.
• ORB Logic: At the start of each session’s ORB period, the script initializes the high and low based on the first bar’s prices. It then updates these levels if subsequent bars within the ORB period exceed the current high or fall below the current low.
• Plotting: ORB levels are plotted as horizontal lines during the respective session, with visibility controlled to avoid clutter outside session times or on incompatible timeframes.
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to identify key breakout levels for each trading session, facilitating strategies based on price action around the opening range. The flexibility to adjust ORB and session times makes it suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, or futures) and time zones.
Limitations:
• The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes and may not display on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly) or if the timeframe multiplier exceeds the ORB duration.
• Time inputs are in CDT, requiring users to adjust for their local timezone or market requirements.
• If you need to use this for GC/CL/SPY/QQQ you have to adjust the times by one hour.
This indicator is ideal for traders focusing on session-based breakout strategies, offering clear visualization and customization for global market sessions.
RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.

ATT + Key Levels with SessionsKey Features:
ATT Turning Point Numbers:
This input allows the user to define specific numbers (e.g., "3,11,17,29,41,47,53,59") that mark turning points in price action, which are checked using the bar_index modulo 60. If the current bar index matches one of these turning points, it triggers potential buy or sell signals.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is calculated based on a user-defined period (rsi_period), typically 14, and used to indicate overbought or oversold conditions. The script defines overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels, which are used to filter buy or sell signals.
Session Times:
The script includes predefined session times for major trading markets:
New York: From 9:30 AM EST to 4:00 PM EST.
London: From 8:00 AM GMT to 4:30 PM GMT.
Asia: From 12:00 AM GMT to 9:00 AM GMT.
These session times are used to restrict the buy and sell signals to specific market sessions.
Key Levels:
The script calculates and plots key market levels for the current day and week:
Daily High and Low: The highest and lowest prices of the current day.
Weekly High and Low: The highest and lowest prices of the current week.
These levels are plotted with different colors for visual reference.
Signal Logic:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the current bar is a turning point (according to the ATT model), the RSI is below the oversold threshold, and the current time is within the active session times (New York, London, or Asia).
Sell Signal: Triggered when the current bar is a turning point, the RSI is above the overbought threshold, and the current time is within the active session times.
Signal Limitations:
A user-defined limit (max_signals_per_session) controls the maximum number of signals that can be plotted within each session. This prevents excessive signal generation.
Plotting and Background Highlights:
Buy and Sell Signals: The script plots shapes (labels) above or below the bars to indicate buy or sell signals when the conditions are met.
Background Highlight: The background color is highlighted in yellow when the current bar matches one of the defined ATT turning points.
In Summary:
The indicator combines multiple technical factors to generate trading signals:
Turning points in price action (based on custom ATT numbers),
RSI levels (overbought/oversold),
Market session times (New York, London, Asia),
Key price levels (daily and weekly highs and lows).
This combination helps traders identify potential buying and selling opportunities while considering broader market dynamics and limiting the number of signals during each session.
Market Session Times and Volume [Market Spotter]Market Session Times and Volume
Market Session Times
Inputs
The inputs tab consists of timezone adjustment which would be the chosen timezone for the plotting of the market sessions based on the market timings.
Further it contains settings for each box to show/hide and change box colour and timings for Asian, London and New York Sessions.
How it works
The indicator primarily works by marking the session highs and lows for the chosen time in the inputs, each of the sessions can be input a custom time value which would plot the box. It helps to identify the important price levels and the trading range for each individual session.
The midpoint of each session is marked with a dashed line. The indicator also marks a developing session while it being formed as well to identify potential secondary levels.
Usage
It can be used to trade session breakouts, false breaks and also divide the daily movement into parts and identify possible patterns while trading.
2. Volumes
Inputs
The volume part has 2 inputs - Smoothing and Normalisation. The smoothing period can simply be used to take in charge volumes of last X bars and normalisation can be used for calculating relative volumes based on last Y bars.
How it works
The indicator takes into account the buy and sell volumes of last X bars and then displays that as a relative smoothed volume which helps to identify longer term build or distribution of volume. It plots the positive volume from 0 to 100 and negative volume from 0 to -100 which has been normalised. The colors identify gradual increase or decrease in volumes
Usage
It can also be used to trade volume spikes well and can identify potential market shifts

This Pine Script code is designed to help traders visualize and analyze different market sessions. It's a tool that displays the trading hours for the Asian, London, and New York sessions right on the chart.
The main purpose is to show when these key markets are open and to highlight their price ranges. It also includes features to track the trend within each session and to identify "liquidity sweeps" or moments when the price breaks the high or low of a previous session.
In simple terms, it helps a trader see what the market is doing and where the price is likely to go, all based on the major global trading times. It's especially useful for day traders who want to align their strategies with the activity of specific markets.
P.S. Apologies to users not in the EST timezone! This version is hardcoded to Eastern Standard Time, and I'm not currently sure how to automatically adjust it for different timezones. But you can adjust manually and click the dropdown menu to Save As Default.
