Support and ResistanceTime Based

The ICT Index Schedule indicator provides a comprehensive daily schedule and key price levels for London and New York index sessions, specifically designed to aid traders following Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It highlights critical time-based windows and price benchmarks directly on the chart to improve situational awareness and time-price alignment.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on identifying key trading windows and benchmark levels throughout the trading day. Users can leverage this tool to visualize:

  • Midnight Opening Price: A crucial reference point for daily bias and direction.
  • London Session & Kill Zone: Displays the London open and specific Kill Zone timing with optional background shading or line markers.
  • New York Session & Kill Zones: Highlights the AM and PM Kill Zones, along with the Equities open price (9:30 AM NY time).
  • Previous Day High/Low: Automatically plots the high and low of the previous day, with an option to calculate these based on New York Midnight time for precise alignment.

Details

The script executes logic based on New York time (America/New_York) to ensure consistency regardless of the user's local chart settings. It tracks several "Kill Zones" and session opens, including:

  • London Kill Zone: 2:00 AM - 5:00 AM NY Time.
  • NY AM Kill Zone: 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM NY Time.
  • NY PM Kill Zone: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM NY Time.
  • Equities Open: 9:30 AM NY Time.

The indicator also includes built-in labels for the days of the week at the midnight vertical, helping traders maintain a clear view of the weekly profile.

FAQ

How do I access the ICT Index Schedule?

You can get access on the LuxAlgo Library for charting platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader for free.

Why do the levels not align with my local time?

The script is hardcoded to use "America/New_York" time to follow ICT methodologies accurately. For the best visual experience, it is recommended to set your TradingView chart timezone to New York.

Can I set alerts for the price levels?

Yes, the script includes built-in alert conditions for price crossing the Previous Day High/Low and the Midnight Opening Price.
