ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1

The ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1 indicator highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean visual overlay, helping traders align their analysis with institutional trading cycles.

Usage

The Usage section describes how the script can be used to identify high-probability trading windows. Traders can use these boxes to observe how price interacts with session extremes during specific macro times. For example, a trader might look for a liquidity sweep of the session high/low during the AM Macro (09:50–10:10) to anticipate a reversal.

The indicator can be used to:

• Identify Smart Money macro windows such as London Close, Lunch, and Silver Bullet (SB) sessions.
• Monitor real-time high and low expansion within those specific windows.
• Analyze historical macro behavior by extending the boxes after the session ends to see how they act as future support or resistance.

Details

The script uses a New York timezone context to ensure accuracy across different global trading locations. It dynamically tracks the highest high and lowest low of each session starting from the first bar of the defined time range. Using Pine Script arrays, the tool handles six distinct macro sessions simultaneously. When a session is active, the box boundaries update every bar; once the session concludes, the box can be locked in place or extended rightward depending on user settings.

Settings
