ICT Killzones

ICT Killzones shades the intraday windows that ICT methodology treats as prime hunting ground for entries, the killzones, and ties Fibonacci retracements to each window's own price range. While a killzone is active, its retracement levels update with the developing range; once it ends, they hold at their last tier, leaving reference prices for the hours that follow.

How to Trade the ICT Killzones?

• Four windows: New York (7:00–9:00), London Open (2:00–5:00), London Close (10:00–12:00) and Asian (20:00–00:00), all in fixed UTC-5 (New York standard time, so one hour later on the New York clock during daylight saving), intervals regarded as offering superior entry conditions, especially in forex.
• Retracement pullbacks: use the Fibonacci levels drawn from the active killzone's range to frame entries as price pulls back inside the window.
• After the window closes: levels persist at their last calculated tier, so a prior killzone's retracements still anchor decisions later in the day.

Because the windows map onto trading sessions, keep the chart at 1 hour or below. Higher timeframes can misrepresent the intervals. Disabling selected killzones while extending the remaining retracements opens up longer, cleaner reads of the levels you care about.

ICT Killzones Settings

• Show Retracements: toggles the Fibonacci retracement display tied to each killzone's range.
• Extend: prolongs the retracements beyond the killzone itself for continued reference.
• Reverse: swaps the maximum and minimum used in the retracement calculation to match the direction you are working.
• Retracement values and colors are adjustable, so the level set can mirror your own Fibonacci preferences.
