ICT Macro Lines - Today Only
ICT Macro Lines - Today Only is a visual intraday timing tool that marks selected ICT-style macro windows on the current trading day only.
The script draws vertical Start, Mid and End markers for predefined New York session windows, including selected NY Macro windows, the NY AM Silver Bullet window, the Dangerous Lunch Macro, the PM Macro and the Power Hour window.
The purpose of this indicator is to help intraday traders keep important time-based windows visible directly on the chart without manually drawing the same timing lines every day.
This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It does not predict direction, measure trend strength, detect entries, or provide automated trade confirmation. It is a chart-organization tool focused only on time structure.
How it works:
The script uses the selected timezone, set by default to America/New_York, and calculates today’s timestamps for each enabled macro window.
For each enabled window, it can draw three vertical markers:
S = Start of the window
M = Middle of the window
E = End of the window
The indicator can optionally hide time markers that have already passed during the current day. This keeps the chart cleaner during live intraday analysis.
It can also display a compact table showing the enabled macro windows and their Start, Mid and End times.
Dangerous Lunch Macro:
The Lunch Macro window from 11:50 to 12:10 New York time is intentionally highlighted in red and labeled as Dangerous Lunch Macro. In this implementation, it is treated as a higher-risk ICT-style timing window. The red color is fixed and cannot be changed in the script settings.
This red highlight is only a visual warning. It is not a buy signal, sell signal, entry confirmation or trade recommendation.
Main features:
- Today-only macro markers based on New York time.
- Optional NY Macro windows.
- Optional NY AM Silver Bullet window.
- Optional Dangerous Lunch Macro window.
- Optional PM Macro and Power Hour window.
- Start / Mid / End vertical line markers.
- Optional line labels: S/M/E, time, or full description.
- Optional subtle background shading for active macro windows.
- Optional macro table with window times.
- Fixed red color for the Dangerous Lunch Macro.
- Customizable line color for all other macro windows.
- Customizable line style, width, text size and table position.
- Designed for intraday charts.
Suggested use:
Use the script on clean intraday charts such as 1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute or 15-minute charts.
The markers are intended to help traders observe price behavior around specific time windows. Any trading decision should be based on the trader’s own trading model, risk management and market context.
Originality and usefulness:
This script is not a combination of unrelated indicators. Its purpose is to consolidate recurring ICT-style intraday time windows into a clean, configurable, today-only visual layout.
Instead of manually drawing macro timing lines each session, the script automatically places the selected windows using New York time and lets the user control visibility, labels, background shading and the summary table.
Limitations:
- The script is intended for intraday timeframes.
- It is a visual timing reference only.
- It does not provide trade signals.
- It does not determine market bias.
- It does not include backtesting or performance claims.
- It does not predict price direction.
- Time windows are fixed and should be interpreted by the user within their own trading model.
