ICT Intraday Timeline

The ICT Intraday Timeline indicator displays key trading sessions and significant time-based milestones often referenced in "Inner Circle Trader" methodologies on a separate chart pane. By organizing these specific times—such as Silver Bullet windows, lunch hours, and session opens—traders can better understand the temporal context of price action and its effect on their daily bias.

Usage

The ICT Intraday Timeline provides a visual roadmap for the trading day. Users can monitor the following key periods:

• Silver Bullet (SB) Windows: Refines specific ranges (London Open, Premarket, AM, and PM) where setups often occur, targeting liquidity and inefficiencies.
• Lunch Times (NY & London): Highlighting these periods helps traders identify typically lower-volume hours where trades may be less probable.
• Session Opens: Key times like the Midnight Open (0am) and the 8:30 am/9:30 am equity opens are marked to help formulate trade ideas around news and volatility.
• Asia Range: Use the highs and lows formed during this period to identify liquidity targets for the subsequent London and New York sessions.

Details

The script executes on a separate pane to ensure the main price chart remains clean. It calculates milestones based on New York time, regardless of the user's local timezone settings on TradingView. The implementation uses time-based logic to draw vertical lines and colored boxes that represent specific durations, ensuring a consistent visual reference across various intraday timeframes.

Settings

• Lunch Box Color: Adjust the background color for New York and London lunch periods.
• Silver Bullet Color: Change the color used to highlight the various Silver Bullet setup windows.
• Asia Box Color: Customize the highlight for the Asian session range.
• London Box Color: Set the color specifically for London-related session highlights.
