Key Opens Prices [TakingProphets]

See session intent at a glance.

This tool plots the key New York time anchors (00:00, 07:30, 08:30, 09:30, 10:00, 14:00), higher-timeframe period opens (Week/Month/Quarter), and previous Day/Week/Month ranges (with optional EQ). It’s built for intraday reading of liquidity, timing, and bias—without clutter.

Note: Intraday only. If you open it on a Daily (or higher) chart, the script will stop and let you know.

What it draws

-NY Session Time Anchors

Optional horizontal price lines, vertical markers, or both for:
00:00 (Midnight), 07:30, 08:30, 09:30 (NY Open), 10:00, 14:00.
Each anchor can extend to the right for a set number of bars and can auto-stop at AM or PM cutoff (your choice).

-Period Opens (HTF)

Week Open (W.O), Month Open (M.O), Quarter Open (Q.O) as price lines and/or vertical markers.
These use your selected PM cutoff as the stop time.

-Previous Ranges (with optional EQ)

PDH/PDL (pdh/pdl), PWH/PWL (pwh/pwl), PMH/PML (pmh/pml), and optional midpoint EQ lines (pde/pwe/pme).
Each prior line can auto-stop on first touch (optional) or at the PM cutoff.

Why traders use it

Session timing clarity – Markers for common NY “decision points” remove guesswork.

Bias framing – HTF opens (W/M/Q) help you judge premium/discount and weekly/monthly/quarterly context intraday.

Targeting – Prior highs/lows (and EQ) often act as magnets or rejection points; having them pre-plotted speeds up decision-making.

Cleaner workflow – Replace ad-hoc lines with a unified, consistent system you can toggle quickly.

Tips & usage

Intraday only. If nothing renders, check you’re on < 1D and that your Anchor Timezone matches your session model.

Stop on touch creates clean, uncluttered charts during fast moves. Turn it off when you want persistent levels.

Keep prior sessions > 0 to study how price interacted with yesterday’s anchors alongside today’s action.

EQ midpoints are powerful: turn them on when you want quick premium/discount reference within the prior range.

Labels & tags

Previous Day: pdh, pdl, pde

Previous Week: pwh, pwl, pwe

Previous Month: pmh, pml, pme

Period opens: W.O, M.O, Q.O

Time anchors: printed as the time or “NY Open”.

Compatibility & performance

Works on futures, forex, and crypto as long as your exchange’s session aligns with the selected Anchor Timezone.

Internally compacts inactive lines to keep charts responsive, even with many sessions loaded.
