ICT Sessions_One Setup for Life

The ICT Sessions_One Setup for Life indicator provides a comprehensive visual framework for tracking key trading sessions, RTH (Regular Trading Hours) opening gaps, and significant price levels across multiple timeframes. By highlighting high and low liquidity areas during specific time windows, it helps traders identify potential institutional buy/sell zones and profit targets.

Usage

This tool is designed to highlight specific periods of high liquidity, which often act as magnets for price.

• Session Trading: The indicator plots boxes and high/low lines for the Asia, London, New York AM, New York Lunch, and New York PM sessions. Traders often look for price to sweep session lows for buy setups or session highs for sell setups.
• RTH Opening Gaps: It automatically identifies gaps between the previous day's 16:15 EST close and the current day's 09:30 EST open. These gaps often act as support/resistance or targets for "gap fill" trades.
• Opening Range Levels: The script plots critical opening prices such as the Midnight (00:00), 08:30, and 09:30 opens, which are widely used in ICT-based strategies to determine daily bias.
• Higher Timeframe Opens: Users can enable Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly opening price lines to maintain perspective on long-term trends while trading intraday.

Details

The indicator calculates session highs and lows dynamically based on the user-defined timezone (defaulting to America/New_York). It includes a lookback feature, allowing users to project session levels forward or study historical data. For RTH gaps, the script offers a midline (50%) and quarter levels (25%/75%), providing more granular targets within the gap zone. The visual logic is optimized for intraday timeframes (typically up to 15 minutes) to ensure clarity during execution.

FAQ

How do I access ICT Sessions_One Setup for Life? You can get access on the LuxAlgo Library for charting platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader for free.

Can I change the session times to match my specific strategy? Yes, all session times are fully adjustable via the "session" inputs in the settings menu, allowing you to define custom windows for London, NY, or Asia.
