Aligning ICT Killzones and Prior-Period Levels with Broker Time

Summary

This document explains a MetaTrader 5 indicator for displaying ICT-style intraday killzones and prior-period price levels. The sessions include the Asian range, London open, and New York morning and afternoon, with their times specified in New York time. The indicator converts those times to broker server time and accounts for daylight-saving calendar differences, a practical requirement for keeping session markings aligned with candles throughout the year. Users can adjust the broker’s winter GMT offset and select the relevant daylight-saving calendar.

The indicator also draws previous day, week, and month highs, lows, and midlines, with tooltip hit-rate statistics. It is described as usable across symbols and, by default, timeframes up to M30. These are charting and context tools: the document does not define trade-entry or exit rules, explain how the hit rates are calculated, or provide evidence that trading these levels is profitable. Session boundaries and prior-period levels can organize analysis, but the document does not establish their predictive value.

Key ideas

• Killzones are defined as intraday windows associated with the Asian, London, and New York sessions.
• Session times are entered in New York time and converted to the broker’s server clock.
• Broker GMT offset and daylight-saving conventions may need configuration.
• The indicator marks prior day, week, and month highs, lows, and midlines.
• The document describes chart features but supplies no trading rules or profitability evidence.
