The day, split by who is trading it.
Futures never sleep, but the same people are not always moving them. This shades each window on your chart and carries forward the high and low it left behind — the levels the next session tends to go looking for.
Seven windows, and you pick them
Asia, London, New York in its three stretches, the macro and the Silver Bullet. Each with its hours and its colour, and none of them compulsory.
Extremes carried forward
Each window's high and low extend until price sweeps them. While they are still there, they are references nobody has touched.
The live window, highlighted
The current session stands apart from the closed ones, so you never confuse what is happening with what already happened.
The live window
Highlighted against the closed ones, with the candles inside.
They are configurable
The same market with a different split: here the Silver Bullet shows up and London and the Asia micro do not. The hours are yours.
What each term means
The names the indicator uses, and what each one means.
- Asia. The Asian session, usually narrow in range.
- London. The European open, which tends to bring the day's first wide move.
- NY AM. The New York morning, overlapping Europe and America.
- NY Launch. The start of the US session.
- NY PM. The US afternoon, after midday.
- Silver Bullet. A short, specific window inside the New York session.
- Macro. The minutes around the top of the hour, where scheduled activity clusters.
- Extension. A window's high or low, carried forward until price sweeps it.
