ICT Sessions & Killzones - VWAP + Asia Mid [Dots3Red]
█ ICT SESSIONS & KILLZONES — VWAP + ASIA MID
This script visualizes the four major forex trading sessions alongside the four ICT killzone windows, with three analytical additions that most session scripts do not include: a per-session VWAP line, a Daily Open reference, and an Asia range midpoint that extends forward into the London and New York sessions.
It works on intraday timeframes. The number of historical session days displayed is configurable.
█ SESSIONS
Four sessions are available, each independently toggleable:
• Tokyo — 09:00–18:00 Asia/Tokyo
• London — 08:00–17:00 Europe/London
• New York — 09:30–16:00 America/New_York
• Sydney — 07:00–16:00 Australia/Sydney (off by default)
Each session draws a high/low line pair with a soft glow layer behind it, a midpoint dotted line at 50% of the session range, and optional quartile lines at 25% and 75%. A semi-transparent fill box covers the active session range and fades when the session closes. Historical sessions are preserved as lighter boxes and lines, controlled by the Historical Sessions (days) setting.
Session labels are positioned at the horizontal midpoint of the session and display the session name, current range in points, the range as a percentage of ATR(14), and the live VWAP value.
When two sessions are active simultaneously — London and New York from approximately 13:00–17:00 UTC, or Tokyo and London around 07:00–09:00 UTC — an overlap box is drawn over that window in a distinct color.
█ ICT KILLZONES
All four ICT killzone windows are implemented, each individually toggleable under a master switch:
• Asia KZ — 20:00–00:00 America/New_York
• London Open KZ — 02:00–05:00 America/New_York
• NY Open KZ — 07:00–10:00 America/New_York
• London Close KZ — 10:00–12:00 America/New_York
Each killzone box uses a dotted border when closed and switches to a solid border while the window is currently active. This makes it immediately clear at a glance whether a killzone is live or historical.
Most published session scripts include only two killzones (London Open and NY Open). The Asia and London Close windows are included here because they are part of the complete ICT framework — the Asia killzone in particular is where a significant portion of daily liquidity is engineered before the London session opens.
█ SESSION VWAP
A VWAP line is calculated independently for each session. It resets to zero at each session open and accumulates using the standard (High + Low + Close) / 3 × Volume formula throughout the session. This is not a daily or weekly VWAP — it is a session-scoped VWAP that resets with each new Tokyo, London, and New York open.
Price above the session VWAP indicates the session is currently net bullish in terms of volume-weighted price. Price below indicates net bearish. The VWAP value is also shown in the live metrics table and in the session label.
Sydney VWAP is not calculated as volume data on that session is generally unreliable outside of ASX-listed instruments.
█ DAILY OPEN LINE
A horizontal line is drawn at the price level at which the new day opened — specifically at midnight New York time (00:00 America/New_York). This corresponds to the ICT "00:00 line" or daily open reference, which is used in ICT methodology as a key intraday reference level for assessing whether price is trading at a premium or discount relative to the daily range.
The line extends forward through the trading day and refreshes at each midnight NY transition.
█ ASIA RANGE MIDPOINT EXTENSION
When the Tokyo session closes, the midpoint of its high-low range is calculated and projected forward as a dashed line into the London and New York sessions. This level — the 50% point of the Asian range — is referenced in ICT methodology as a key intraday equilibrium. London and New York sessions frequently interact with this level before establishing directional bias.
This extension is drawn automatically and requires no manual input. It is toggled by the Asia Range Mid Extension setting.
█ LIVE METRICS TABLE
A table in the corner of the chart displays eight columns for each active session:
• SESSION — name, color-coded to the session
• STATUS — ACTIVE or CLOSED
• RANGE (PTS) — current range in price ticks
• % ATR — range expressed as a percentage of ATR(14)
• VWAP DEV — current close deviation from session VWAP in percent (green = above, red = below)
• VS PREV % — current session range versus the equivalent previous session's range (green = larger, red = smaller)
• HIGH / LOW — current session extremes
The bottom row shows whether a session overlap is currently active.
█ HISTORICAL DISPLAY
The Historical Sessions (days) input controls how many past session blocks remain visible. The script uses a millisecond-based time window rather than a bar count, so the lookback is stable across different timeframes. Setting this to 1 shows only the current day's sessions. Setting it to 5 retains the last five days. Objects beyond the limit are deleted automatically to manage Pine's drawing object limits.
█ ALERTS
Eleven alert conditions are available:
• Tokyo, London, New York session opens and closes (6 alerts)
• Asia KZ, London Open KZ, NY Open KZ, London Close KZ starts (4 alerts)
• London + New York overlap start (1 alert)
█ NOTES
• Designed for intraday timeframes. Most useful at 5-minute through 1-hour.
• Session times adjust automatically for daylight saving time because timezone identifiers (America/New_York, Europe/London, etc.) are used rather than fixed UTC offsets.
• The Tokyo session uses Asia/Tokyo exchange hours (09:00–18:00). Forex traders who prefer the broader Asian session window (00:00–09:00 UTC) can adjust the time string in the source code.
• All session boxes and killzone boxes are gated to the historical window. Objects outside the configured lookback are not drawn, which keeps performance stable on lower timeframes with many bars.
█ DISCLAIMER
This is a visualization tool for session timing and reference levels. It does not generate trade signals and does not constitute financial advice. Past price behavior within or around session windows does not predict future results.
