Meridian Session Cartography [JOAT]

Introduction

Meridian Session Cartography is an open-source session-structure overlay designed to map intraday market geography through Asia, London, New York, and one fully custom session. The indicator tracks each session's developing high, low, open, midpoint, previous-day references, and confirmed liquidity sweeps, then organizes those references into a clean institutional chart layout.

The problem Meridian solves is session context. Many intraday decisions fail not because the setup is invalid, but because the trader is reading a local move without understanding which session created the range, where the day is trading relative to prior-day references, and whether liquidity has already been swept. Meridian turns that information into a persistent map.

Core Concepts

1. Timezone-Safe Session Tracking

Each session is evaluated through explicit session windows and a user-selected timezone, allowing the script to adapt to regional workflows without hard-coding exchange assumptions.

2. Session Range Construction

Every active session continuously updates its high, low, midpoint, and opening price. These references remain actionable because they are tied to actual session development instead of static preset levels.

3. Previous-Day Reference Logic

Previous-day high, low, open, and close are requested from the daily context using non-lookahead calls. These levels frame the broader day structure around which the active session range is operating.

4. Confirmed Sweep Detection

The indicator identifies confirmed buy-side and sell-side sweeps around tracked extremes, helping the user recognize when a session has already consumed nearby liquidity.

5. Managed Object Layout

Boxes, lines, and labels are retained through capped arrays and automatically cleaned to avoid chart clutter and object-budget drift.

Features

  • Four configurable session blocks: Asia, London, New York, and one custom session
  • Range geometry: High, low, midpoint, and opening references for each session
  • Previous-day levels: Prior day high, low, open, and close included in the same framework
  • Confirmed sweep logic: Liquidity sweep status updates only after bar confirmation
  • Reference-level extension: Session levels can project forward for practical intraday use
  • Chart-cleaning controls: Managed limits for labels, boxes, and lines
  • Top-right dashboard: Active session, day range, sweep status, and nearest level are summarized continuously

How to Use This Indicator

Step 1: Identify the active session
Use the dashboard to confirm which session currently governs price. This gives immediate context for interpreting local range behavior.

Step 2: Compare the active session to the day
Check the relationship between the active session range and previous-day high/low. This helps distinguish local noise from meaningful day-level expansion.

Step 3: Monitor midpoint and open behavior
Session midpoints and opens often act as practical mean-reversion or continuation checkpoints during intraday trading.

Step 4: Watch sweep status before fading or chasing
If the session has already swept one side of liquidity, that changes the quality of any breakout or reversal idea built near the same reference.

Indicator Limitations

  • Session-based indicators are highly sensitive to the chosen timezone and should be configured intentionally
  • Sweep detection confirms after the bar closes, which is deliberate non-repainting behavior
  • Very low-liquidity markets can produce irregular session geometry
  • The script maps context and liquidity behavior; it does not generate full trade plans by itself


Originality Statement

Meridian Session Cartography is original in the way it combines timezone-safe multi-session mapping, previous-day references, midpoint and open logic, confirmed sweep detection, and managed chart-object cleanup into one publication-ready intraday overlay. It is not a simple session shading script or a basic high/low plotter.
