ICT Killzones + Macros
Session overlay displaying institutional trading windows, session highs/lows, and key daily reference levels.
Overview
The ICT Killzones + Macros indicator is a session overlay tool that displays five major trading windows, tracks session highs/lows, marks key daily open prices, and renders the previous week's price extremes.
The "Killzone" concept in ICT refers to the specific windows when institutional order flow is most active — particularly the London open (2–5 AM ET) and NY sessions where liquidity peaks.

How We Use It
Session highs and lows from Asia and London become our primary liquidity targets ahead of the New York open. We watch for sweeps of these levels during the AM session as entry triggers.
The Midnight Open and True Day Open lines are essential daily references in ICT methodology. Price positioning relative to these levels helps determine intraday bias.
