FreeOpen sourcePine Script v6
Divide configured Tokyo, London, New York or custom intraday focus windows into four equal clock-time phases. Measure gross price travel, direction and directional efficiency in each phase, classify the completed sequence and compare it with prior occurrences of the same named window.
A conventional session highlighter primarily shows when a regional session is active. This study examines where gross travel occurred inside a narrower focus window, whether each phase moved directionally or rotated, and whether travel was front-loaded, late, concentrated or evenly distributed. A window sometimes called a kill zone is not assumed to guarantee an outcome.
Each completed window can display a two-line strip: P1-P4 direction marks on line one, then completed path classification and peak phase on line two. The fixed PATH PULSE panel organizes FOCUS, STATUS, PATH, four-phase PULSE and historical CTX. PULSE is not volume or order flow.
For each sampled bar, gross travel is the maximum of high minus low, absolute high minus the previous sampled close, and absolute low minus that close. The first sampled bar uses high-low. Travel is assigned to four equal clock phases, then shares, displacement and directional efficiency enter a deterministic priority-ordered classification.
Phase gross travel is divided by completed-window gross travel. It identifies which time quarter contained measured price movement, not volume, trade direction or participation.
A phase is UP or DOWN only when absolute open-to-close displacement divided by gross phase travel reaches the configured threshold. Otherwise it is rotational.
Asia open, London open, New York open, London close and Custom Focus keep separate histories. P1 is compared with prior P1 values from the same named window.
Add the public script to an intraday chart such as five minutes and identify the default phase strips and fixed panel first. Enable the adaptive lens or research blocks one at a time.
Open the public Intraday Price Path Signature – London New York Tokyo Windows page and add it to a TradingView chart. No SG Group account is required.
Overlapping lines, bands, backgrounds or tables can be duplicate drawings of the same kind of information. Never treat visual overlap by itself as stronger evidence or signal agreement. Session shading, opening-range or kill-zone tools, other phase annotations and fixed dashboards can obscure the source of a window or label. The adaptive lens is dynamic phase context, not ordinary static session shading.
Do not infer direction from a window name. Separate P1-P4 direction, gross-travel share, completed path classification and comparison with prior matching windows.
The default requires a standard intraday chart at or below 15 minutes. Read LIVE, CLOSED or WAIT and treat live values as provisional until the window finishes.
Interpret ↑ as upward, ↓ as downward, ↔ as rotational and · as insufficient observation. Then read the completed descriptive class; it is not a forecast.
PULSE shows the current distribution of gross price travel. CTX reports phase comparison with prior matching windows. Neither is volume, probability or win rate.
The window is developing, completed, or waiting for an eligible observation. LIVE values remain provisional.
Upward, downward, rotational or insufficiently observed phase direction.
Sufficient window efficiency and aligned phase travel; not a prediction of continuation.
The configured number of phase-direction changes without qualifying as persistent.
A completed path concentrated in P1-P2 or P3-P4 respectively.
Single-phase dominance, small share spread, or no earlier priority condition.
A partial, sparse or zero-travel completion excluded from the historical baseline.
Current four-phase gross-travel distribution / matching-window historical context; not volume or order flow.
The labels below match the published script’s English Inputs panel. Defaults reflect the public source at the time of review and may change in a later TradingView update.
On small screens, each input is reformatted as a readable stacked card.
| Input label | Default / options | What it controls and when to adjust it |
|---|---|---|
Maximum chart timeframe (minutes) | 15; range: 1-240 | Sets the highest chart timeframe, in minutes, on which the study runs. The default is 15 minutes; five-minute charts usually show the four-phase structure most clearly. |

This tool is for analysis and visualization. It is not investment advice, a trade recommendation, a forecast, or a promise of profit or accuracy. Results depend on inputs, symbol, timeframe, and data feed. You remain responsible for every trading decision.
The calculation is a true-range-style bar approximation. It does not know tick order inside a candle and does not reconstruct order flow.
Partial starts, insufficient observed phases, zero measurable travel, unsupported timeframes and disallowed chart types do not enter the empirical baseline.
Results depend on history length, thresholds, symbol, timeframe, feed, missing bars and holidays. A completed value is ranked before it is added, with ties assigned a mid-rank.
Holidays, early closes and exchange-specific breaks are not detected. IANA timezones handle local clocks, but official instrument hours still require verification.
Path classes, concentration, efficiency and percentiles all derive from the same price bars. Do not count them as independent signals or interpret them as entries, exits, targets, stops, sizing, predictions, probabilities, win rate or advice.
Clarify phase shares, efficiency, percentiles and the distinction from a session highlighter.
Yes. It is a free, open-source indicator published by SG Group on TradingView. Review TradingView’s terms and the conditions attached to the public script before reuse or redistribution.
Start with the published defaults and observe the drawings and state changes first. Then change one input at a time for the symbol, timeframe and data feed so you can identify what caused each visual change.
Yes, but similar lines, bands, backgrounds and tables can overlap and obscure their source. Isolate each indicator first and hide duplicate components. Visual overlap alone is not stronger evidence or signal agreement.
No. It is analysis and visualization context consistent with the public description. It does not provide entries, exits, targets, stops, price forecasts, or promises of profit, win rate or accuracy.
A session highlighter primarily identifies active hours and may draw session levels. This study divides narrower focus windows into P1-P4 and analyzes internal gross-travel distribution, efficiency, completed path and matching-phase history.
This guide is grounded in SG Group’s live catalogue, the script’s published TradingView description, and the user-facing inputs in its open source. Labels and defaults can change after a script update.
