ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert
🔵Introduction
🟣ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT":
🟣Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include:
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is:
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows:
🟣KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows:
🔵How to Use
🟣Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note:
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.
🔵Setting
🟣Global Setting
If it is turned off, only the last Order Block will be displayed.
If it is turned off, only the last FVG will be displayed.
If it is turned on, more information about kill zones (Trade Volume, Time, Number of Candles) will be displayed.
🟣Logic Parameter
Enter the desired pivot period to identify the Order Block.
You can specify the maximum time the Order Block remains valid based on the number of candles from the origin.
Determining the basic level of a block order. When the price hits the basic level, the order block due to mitigation.

On / Off
On / Off
This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
Displays information about the price range of the order blocks (Zone Price) and the date, hour, and minute under "Display More Info". If you do not want this information to appear in the received message along with the alert, you should set it to "Off".
