Intraday Session Highs, Lows, and Breakout Pivots with ICT Killzones
Summary
This indicator guide divides intraday trading into Asian, London, and New York session windows, including separate New York morning, lunch, and afternoon periods. It marks each window’s high and low as chart zones, then extends prior session levels as pivots until price crosses them or the day limit is reached. The described use cases include breakout entries at these levels and possible reversals or consolidations near session extremes.
The guide is aimed at charts of one hour or less and allows session times and the New York lunch display to be customized. Its rationale is that major session windows can have greater activity and volatility, but the text supplies no backtest or evidence that the marked levels predict profitable trades. Results depend on correct session times and instrument context; timezone alignment, false breaks, transaction costs, and risk controls are not evaluated. Treat the levels as references for testing rather than validated signals.
Key ideas
- The indicator marks highs and lows for Asian, London, and segmented New York trading windows.
- Prior session extremes are extended as pivot levels that end when crossed or when the day limit is reached.
- Suggested uses include trading breakouts and watching for reversals or consolidations at session extremes.
- The guide recommends timeframes of one hour or less and permits session hours to be adjusted.
- It provides no backtest evidence, so the levels should be validated for the instrument and trading rules.
