Smart Money Gold Map [XAUUSD Kill Zones + Liquidity Sweeps]

The Smart Money Gold Map [XAUUSD Kill Zones + Liquidity Sweeps] indicator is a comprehensive session mapping and market structure tool designed specifically for XAUUSD trading. It integrates institutional timing windows, liquidity sweep detection, and psychological price levels to provide a clear framework for gold's daily price action.

Usage

This tool is optimized for the 15m, 30m, and 1H timeframes on XAUUSD. Traders can use the highlighted Kill Zones to identify high-probability windows where the majority of gold's daily range is typically established.

The Asian Range provides a foundational consolidation zone; when price sweeps either the high or low of this range and returns inside, the indicator marks the event with a diamond. This allows users to identify potential "Smart Money" liquidity grabs. Additionally, the dashboard provides real-time context regarding session volatility, VWAP positioning, and distance to major psychological round numbers.

Details

The script focuses on several core Smart Money Concept (SMC) and ICT principles:

• Time-Price Theory: It highlights the London Kill Zone (07:00-10:00 GMT) and the New York AM Kill Zone (12:00-15:00 GMT), periods known for significant institutional participation in the gold market.
• Liquidity Sweeps: The indicator tracks the Asian Range (22:00-06:00 GMT) and detects sweeps of its extremes. These sweeps often precede the day's trend or a major reversal.
• Psychological Levels: In markets like Gold that often reach all-time highs, round numbers ($50, $100 steps) serve as significant support and resistance levels where orders tend to cluster.
