ICT Killzones and Asian Range Session Mapping

Summary

The document outlines an Inner Circle Trader view of intraday session behavior: liquidity builds during the Asian session, may be manipulated around the London open, and is distributed during the New York Killzone. It describes an MT4 indicator intended to automate session visualization by drawing the Asian range from its high and low, which can be treated as reference liquidity levels. A broker time-shift input is presented as necessary because server clocks differ.

The material describes the indicator’s purpose and one parameter, but does not give exact session hours, settings, entry or exit rules, or examples of use. It provides no backtest, trade records, or evidence that the proposed sequence reliably predicts price movement. The session framework should therefore be understood as a trading interpretation and charting aid, rather than a demonstrated predictive strategy. Accurate alignment depends on configuring the time offset correctly for the broker.

Key ideas

• The ICT framework associates the Asian session with liquidity accumulation and later sessions with manipulation and distribution.
• The Asian range is defined by the session high and low.
• The indicator automates drawing session boxes and the Asian range in MT4.
• A broker time-shift setting is used to align chart times with the intended market sessions.
• The document supplies no evidence that the session sequence predicts profitable trades.
