Macros ICT KillZones Times & Price Trading Setup

The Macros ICT KillZones Times & Price Trading Setup indicator highlights critical time intervals based on Michael Huddleston’s Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, allowing traders to identify high-probability windows for liquidity hunts and fair value gap (FVG) fillings.

Usage

The indicator is primarily used to identify "Macro" windows where institutional algorithms are most likely to seek liquidity or rebalance price. Traders can use these highlighted zones to:

• Identify Liquidity Runs: Monitor price action as it approaches or breaks previous session highs/lows during a Macro window.
• Confirm Structural Shifts: Use Macro times to validate Market Structure Shifts (MSS) or displacements.
• Execute Strategies: Specifically designed for the ICT 2022 Trading Model and the Silver Bullet strategy, where timing is just as critical as price.

Details

The script automatically calculates and plots several key intervals throughout the London and New York sessions. It features a built-in Daylight Saving Time (DST) detection system to ensure the boxes remain accurate regardless of seasonal clock changes. It supports multiple time zone modes, including UTC, Session Local Time (New York), and a custom user-defined offset.

The macro periods included are:

• London Macros: Early morning liquidity windows.
• New York AM Macros: Three distinct windows during the morning session.
• New York Lunch & PM Macros: Including the lunch rebalancing and the afternoon liquidity runs.
• New York Last Hour: The final volatility window before the market close.

Settings

• Time Zone Mode: Choose between UTC, Session Local Time, or Your Time Zone to align the indicator with your preference.
• Your Time Zone: Define a custom offset (e.g., UTC-4:00) when the specific mode is selected.
• Show Range Time: Toggles the display of start and end times for each macro on the chart.
• Macro Visibility: Individual toggles for each London and New York macro window.
• Custom Colors: Adjust the background and border colors for each specific trading window to improve visual clarity.

FAQ

How do I use these windows for trading?

These windows represent times of increased algorithmic activity. Look for liquidity grabs (raiding old highs/lows) or the creation of Fair Value Gaps within these specific time frames to find entries.

Does the indicator adjust for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, the script includes a DST detector for both London and New York sessions to ensure the Macro times stay synced with the actual market hours throughout the year.
