ICT Times

The ICT Times indicator provides a comprehensive visual framework for Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, including Killzones, Silver Bullet times, and ICT Macros, helping traders identify high-probability time windows where price seeks liquidity or imbalances.

Usage

The Usage section describes how the script can be used to identify key trading sessions. Users can apply the indicator to their charts to see automatically plotted boxes representing specific time windows based on the asset class being traded.

For Forex pairs, the indicator highlights:

• Asia Killzone: 20:00 - 00:00
• London Killzone: 02:00 - 05:00
• New York Killzone: 07:00 - 10:00
• London Close Killzone: 10:00 - 12:00

For non-Forex assets (such as Indices), it highlights:

• Asia: 20:00 - 00:00
• London: 02:00 - 05:00
• New York AM: 08:30 - 11:00
• New York PM: 13:30 - 16:00

Additionally, the indicator plots Silver Bullet times (03:00-04:00, 10:00-11:00, 14:00-15:00) and various ICT Macros throughout the day. These periods often coincide with significant price expansions or turning points.

Details

The script is designed to automatically adapt its Killzone logic based on the symbol type. It uses the syminfo.type and syminfo.prefix to distinguish between Forex and Indices, ensuring the correct ICT session times are applied. All times are calculated using the "America/New_York" timezone to maintain consistency with ICT methodology regardless of the user's local chart settings. The indicator also features built-in alerts that trigger at the start of each Macro, Silver Bullet, or Killzone period.

Settings

• Max Boxes Count: (Internal setting) Controls the maximum number of boxes displayed on the chart to maintain performance.
• Symbol Detection: The indicator automatically detects if the asset is Forex or an Index to adjust the Killzone timings accordingly.

FAQ

How do I use the ICT Times indicator?

Simply add the indicator to your chart. It will automatically detect the asset type and plot the relevant Killzones, Macros, and Silver Bullet windows as colored boxes.

Does this work on all timeframes?

While the indicator can be applied to any timeframe, it is most effective on lower timeframes (e.g., 1m to 15m) where the specific start and end times of the windows are clearly visible.
