Session RangesThis is session range indicator with CLEAN code and CLEAR data presentation. There are other range indicators available but when I looked I found them unreliable or making too much screen clutter. WIth mine you can have 3 ranges on screen, measure to bodies or wickes, customise the period, (set your timezone), colours, labels and all that good stuff...
I'm very happy to share it with everyone (and publishing is a great way to archive my code) but ultimately this indicator is by me, for me. Whilst i added a few bells and whistles for everyone this indicator is precisely designed to:
Show me EASILY see what happened in the Asia session and whether we are breaking out with MINIMAL screen clutter. I only use the 3, 15 and 60 - it won't work on the 1, 5, 120 etc because I dont need it to. How I use it is below.

Session ATP (Trend Colored)📌 Average Traded Price (ATP) – What It Means
ATP (Average Traded Price) is the weighted average price at which a stock has traded during the session, considering both price and volume.
It tells you where the majority of money has actually traded — not just the candle close.
If price stays above ATP → Buyers are in control
If price stays below ATP → Sellers dominate
ATP is like the intraday fair value of the stock.
📌 How ATP Helps in Trading
ATP gives three major insights:
1️⃣ Strength of Trend (Real Strength)
ATP rises only if strong volume enters at higher prices.
So, a rising ATP confirms genuine bullish strength, not fake moves.
ATP falling confirms real selling pressure, not random dips.
2️⃣ High-Probability Retests
Price often pulls back to ATP before taking the next direction.
Price above ATP → ATP becomes support
Price below ATP → ATP becomes resistance
This makes ATP extremely useful for intraday entries.
3️⃣ Identifying Where Big Players Are Positioned
Since ATP is volume-weighted, it reflects where institutions and big orders traded most.
If price stays above the level where institutions bought → trend is strong
If price stays below their cost → trend is weak
📌 How ATP Indicates Price Direction
In your improved version, ATP is trend-colored:
✔ Green → ATP rising → buyers dominating
✔ Red → ATP falling → sellers dominating
✔ Gray → sideways
Direction rule:
Bullish bias when price > ATP and ATP rising
Bearish bias when price < ATP and ATP falling
No-trade zone when price and ATP are flat / tangled
ATP often acts as:
Magnet in consolidation
Springboard in uptrend
Ceiling in downtrend
This helps you judge whether the move is:
A breakout with strength, or
A fake move without volume support.
🔥 Final Line
ATP is one of the few indicators that shows where the real money is trading, making it an excellent guide for intraday trend confirmation, support/resistance, and entry timing.

Session Highs and Lows - TWThis indicator plots the following:
- Previous day's high and low (based on previous daily candle) - purple
- Asia high and low (1800-0200) - red
- London high and low (0300-0930) - blue
Once a high or low is hit or passed during the NY session, the line reduces in thickness to show that this point of interest has been taken. The thinner lines remain on the chart as a reference so it's easy to discern POIs that are still in play vs. those that have been taken.
Session Highs and LowsThis indicator plots the following:
- Previous day high and low (based on previous daily candle) - purple lines
- Asian high and low (1800-0200) - red lines
- London high and low (0300-0930) - blue lines
During NY session, once one of these point of interest has been hit or passed, the line thickness reduces so you can tell at a glance which points have been taken, but they still remain on the chart for reference.

Trading Sessions with Highs and LowsTrading Sessions with Highs and Lows is designed to visually highlight specific trading sessions on the chart, providing traders with key insights into market behavior during these time periods. Here’s a detailed explanation of how the indicator works:
Key Features
1. Session Boxes:
• The indicator plots colored boxes on the chart to represent the price range of defined trading sessions.
• Each box spans the session’s start and end times and encapsulates the high and low prices during that period.
• Two trading sessions are defined by default:
• USA Trading Session: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM (New York Time).
• UK Trading Session: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM (London Time).
2. Session Labels:
• The name of the session (e.g., “USA” or “UK”) is displayed above the session box for clear identification.
3. High and Low Markers:
• Markers are added to the chart at the session’s high and low points:
• High Marker: A green label indicating the session high.
• Low Marker: A red label indicating the session low.
4. Dynamic Reset:
• After the session ends, the session high and low values are reset to na to prepare for the next trading day.
5. Customizable Background Colors:
• Each session’s box has a distinct, semi-transparent background color for better visual separation.
How It Works
1. Core Functionality:
• A function, plot_box, takes the session name, start time, end time, and background color as input.
• It calculates whether the current time is within the session.
• During the session:
• It tracks the session’s highest and lowest prices.
• It identifies the bars where the high and low occurred.
• At the session’s end:
• It plots a box on the chart covering the session’s time and price range.
• Labels are created for the session name and its high/low points.
2. Session Timing:
• Timestamps for the USA and UK trading sessions are calculated using the timestamp function with respective time zones.
3. Visual Elements:
• The box.new function draws the session boxes on the chart.
• The label.new function creates session name and high/low labels.
Usage
• Overlay Mode: The indicator is applied directly on the price chart (overlay=true), making it easy to visualize session-specific price behavior.
• Trading Strategy:
• Identify session-specific support and resistance levels.
• Observe price action trends during key trading periods.
• Align trading decisions with session dynamics.
Customization
While the indicator is preset for the USA and UK trading sessions, it can be easily modified:
1. Add/Remove Sessions: Define additional sessions by providing their start and end times.
2. Change Colors: Update the background_color in the plot_box calls to use different colors for sessions.
3. Adjust Time Zones: Replace the current time zones with others relevant to your trading style.
Visualization Example
• USA Session:
• Time: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM (New York Time).
• Box Color: Semi-transparent orange.
• UK Session:
• Time: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM (London Time).
• Box Color: Semi-transparent green.
Why Use This Indicator?
1. Market Awareness: Easily spot price behavior during high-liquidity trading periods.
2. Trend Analysis: Analyze how sessions overlap or affect each other.
3. Session Boundaries: Use session high/low levels as dynamic support and resistance zones.
This indicator is an essential tool for intraday and swing traders who want to align their strategies with key market timings.
[AlbaTherium] Sessional & Daily's liquidities - Beta Sessional & Daily Liquidities - Beta: Harnessing the Power of the Institutional Funding Candle (IFC) in Trading
Introduction:
The Sessional & Daily Liquidities - Beta indicator places the Institutional Funding Candle (IFC) at its core. Within the realm of trading, the IFC stands as a key signal for identifying Points of Interest (POIs) , offering traders invaluable insights into market dynamics. This document aims to illuminate the central role of the IFC within the Sessional & Daily Liquidities - Beta indicator, explaining how it can be effectively utilized to spot significant changes in the market and seize trading opportunities.
Chapter 1: Sessional Liquidity concepts
The forex market can be broken up into four major trading sessions: the Sydney session, the Tokyo session, the London session, and Trump’s favorite time to tweet (before he was banned), the New York session.
Historically, the forex market has three peak trading sessions. Traders often focus on one of the three trading periods, rather than attempt to trade the markets 24 hours per day. This is known as the “forex 3-session system“. These sessions consist of the Asian, European, and North American sessions, which are also called Tokyo, London, and New York sessions.
For that reason, a lot of trader put their stoploss right at the High or Low of their session, filling these price levels with liquidities. The market loves liquidities, they are like the “fuel” of the market. Price usually goes to these levels, takes out all the liquidities, and then returns to its original direction. This price behaviour indicates the presence of players – banks, institutions,... – driving the market to their own profit.
The same logic applies with Daily, Weekly and Monthly high/low levels.
