Kill Zones, Market Opens and News
Kill Zones, Market Opens and News
Version 1.0.0
Draws FX session kill zones, market opens and news event lines on intraday charts, with its own purpose built kill zones for DE40, the US indices and crude oil. First release, shared open source.
WHAT IT DRAWS
• Forex kill zones: London 07:00-10:00 UK and New York 12:00-15:00 UK, each with start and end boundary lines.
• Market open lines: 08:00 London/Frankfurt and 14:30 New York, each on its own toggle.
• News event lines, filtered to the relevant pair: GBP 07:00 / 09:30 / 12:00, USD 13:15 / 13:30 / 14:45 / 15:00 / 19:00 / 19:30, EUR 08:30 / 13:15. 13:30 USD is on by default, the rest off.
• DE40: London morning only, 08:00-10:00 Frankfurt. Own 08:00 open and 10:00 end line, no afternoon zone.
• US500 / USTEC / US30 (identical): AM orange pre-market 13:30-14:30 then green 14:30-17:00; PM green 18:00-20:00 then blue power hour 20:00-21:00.
• XTIUSD: two green zones, 08:00-10:00 and 13:00-19:00 UK, plus the 14:30 New York open and USD news.
• History range: the last 5 trading days, or the full loaded history.
• Colour, opacity, width and style adjustable on every element.
WHY THESE HOURS
• The windows come from an hour-of-day volatility study, the average bar range in each UK hour: five years of data to July 2026 for the forex majors, gold and index CFDs, and around two years for crude oil, cross-checked against real price action. The aim is to shade the hours that actually move and mark the opens and news that drive them.
HOW IT WORKS
• Each custom instrument shows only its own windows; the forex shading, session lines, opens and news are suppressed on DE40, US500, USTEC, US30 and XTIUSD.
• Forex windows track a US (New York) data feed. The custom instruments are UK clock anchored and render correctly on any exchange timezone.
• The "UK-US Time Difference" input (5 or 4) covers the roughly 4 weeks a year when UK and US daylight saving are out of step. Leave it at 5 the rest of the year.
• Boundary lines draw below 1H; kill zone shading and market opens draw at 1H and below.
WHAT IT RUNS ON
• Intraday, 1H and below.
• Forex majors and XAUUSD get the standard drawing; DE40, US500, USTEC, US30 and XTIUSD get their own custom zones.
• Custom zones match the exact symbols DE40, US500, USTEC, US30 and XTIUSD. Other broker names (for example GER40, SPX500, NAS100, WTIUSD) fall back to the standard forex drawing. The script is open source, so you can add your broker's names.
• Tested so far on forex majors, XAUUSD, DE40, US500, USTEC, US30 and XTIUSD.
HOW TO USE
• Add it to any intraday chart, 1H or below.
• On forex or gold: use the London and NY kill zones to see where the sessions sit, and turn on the opens and news you follow.
• On DE40, US500, USTEC, US30 or XTIUSD: it switches automatically to that instrument's own zones.
• In a DST gap week, set "UK-US Time Difference" to 4; otherwise leave it at 5.
• Use the History range control to keep the chart light (5 days) or show the full history.
IN THIS RELEASE (v1.0.0)
• First public release.
• Forex London and NY kill zones with adjustable boundary lines.
• 08:00 London/Frankfurt and 14:30 New York market opens.
• GBP / USD / EUR news lines, toggled individually and filtered per pair.
• Custom kill zones for DE40, US500 / USTEC / US30 and XTIUSD.
• UK clock anchored custom instruments, timezone independent, with the 5/4 DST toggle.
• History range, and full colour, opacity, width and style control.

Release Note
Kill Zones, Market Opens and NewsVersion 2.0.0
Major version. A shipped feature has been removed, so read the first section before you update.
REMOVED
• All session and zone boundary marker lines are gone, 100 percent, from every group: Forex London and NY, DE40, US AM session, US PM session and XTIUSD. Every vertical start line and every end line has been deleted, along with their "Show Zone Boundary Marker Lines" toggles and all of their colour, width, opacity and style inputs. There is no setting that brings them back. The script is open source, so if you rely on those lines, copy the current source out before you update.
• As a direct result, US500, USTEC and US30 now draw shaded bands and nothing else. Those three never carried a market open or a news line, so the boundary lines were the only lines they had.
NEW INSTRUMENT
• UK100 now has its own custom kill zone, treated exactly as DE40: a shaded 08:00-10:00 UK window (UK clock, fixed, so the 5/4 toggle does not move it) plus a yellow 08:00 market open line.
• London morning only. No afternoon zone, no 14:30 open, no news lines.
• This is a change for anyone already using the indicator on UK100. It previously drew the standard forex shading and the two market open lines, which were timed off the chart's own exchange clock and so did not land on UK hours on a UK100 feed. That is now suppressed and replaced by the window above, which is how DE40 and the other custom instruments have always behaved. News lines have never drawn on UK100.
• UK100 has its own settings section carrying the same inputs and the same default values as DE40.
• The match is on the exact ticker UK100. A feed serving the FTSE under any other name falls through to the standard forex drawing.
CHANGED
• The 13:30 USD news line now defaults to OFF. It was the one news line on by default in 1.0.0. All eleven news toggles are now off out of the box, so turn on the times you actually follow.
• Seconds charts are now excluded. On a 1S to 30S chart the indicator draws nothing at all. Previously it ran and placed every shaded band roughly four hours early, because a seconds chart reports its interval in seconds while the projection maths works in minutes. The tool is for minute charts, 1H and below.
NOT AFFECTED
• On a minute chart, on every instrument other than UK100, the kill zone shading, the 08:00 London and 14:30 New York market open lines and the GBP, USD and EUR news lines all draw exactly as they did in 1.0.0. Colours, opacities, window times and the 5/4 UK-US Time Difference toggle are untouched. The only two changes anywhere else are the 13:30 default and the seconds-chart exclusion, both above.
CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS (no behaviour change)
• The DE40 window is 08:00-10:00 UK, not Frankfurt. The code detects it on the London clock, so the previous wording was an hour out from what is actually drawn. The window itself has not moved.
• The USD news lines draw on exactly EURUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, GBPUSD and XAUUSD, plus XTIUSD. Other dollar pairs such as USDCAD, USDCHF and NZDUSD get the kill zones but no USD news. The description said only that news is filtered to the relevant pair, which was vaguer than the code has ever been.
• The History range tooltip now says what it has always done: it limits the historical shading as well as the historical lines.
NOTE ON UPGRADING
• Because inputs have been removed, TradingView may reset this indicator's settings on a chart that already has 1.0.0 on it. Remove and re-add it, and the defaults reproduce the intended look.
