Session Killzones + Opening Range [verticetrading]
SESSION KILLZONES + OPENING RANGE
The Session Killzones + Opening Range indicator draws the Asia, London and New York sessions as live boxes on the chart, highlights each session's opening range, and adds a "fuel gauge" that compares the session's developing range with the symbol's own recent sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Add the indicator to an intraday chart of a market that trades across sessions (gold, forex, crypto, index futures). Each active session appears as a shaded box with its name; the first minutes of the session are shaded darker as the opening range. When price closes beyond that range, an alert can fire.
🔹 Reading the fuel gauge
* The session label shows the current range as a percentage of the typical range of that session's last 20 instances, e.g. "London — range at 137% of typical".
* Below roughly 60% late in the session: a quiet session; breakouts tend to have less follow-through.
* Around 60-110%: a normal session.
* Above roughly 120%: the session has already travelled more than usual; late entries face a statistically stretched move.
* The gauge measures amplitude, not direction: a 137% session can be a straight trend or a range that ends where it started — the candles inside the box tell you which.
🔹 Alerts
* Session opened.
* Opening range broken up / broken down (confirmed close only).
🔶 DETAILS
Sessions are evaluated in the timezone you choose (New York by default, the usual anchor for FX and metals). For every session the script stores the final range of its last 20 instances and divides today's developing range by that average; the label appears once a few sessions of history exist. Since a range can only grow, the percentage rises during the session and never falls, so the same 40% means "slow, still has room" mid-session and "a quiet day" at the close. Opening-range breakouts are detected on confirmed closes only, so nothing repaints. The statistics describe the loaded history of the chart only.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 General
* Language / Idioma: interface language (English by default, Spanish available). Every setting, tooltip and alert has an English label.
* Sessions timezone: the timezone the session hours refer to (Exchange, UTC, New York, London, Central America, Mexico City, Madrid/Paris/Berlin, Tokyo).
* Opening range (minutes): length of the opening range, 30 by default.
🔹 Session: Asia / London / New York
* Show: toggles the session.
* Hours: the session's time window in the selected timezone (defaults 18:00-03:00, 03:00-11:30 and 08:00-17:00 New York time).
* Color: box and label color.
Educational tool, not financial advice. A news day can print 200%; the gauge tells you when the context deserves attention, not where price will go. Trading involves risk.
