Kito Session Range Projection
- Indicateurs
- Version: 2.100
Kito Session Range Projection is a MetaTrader 5 indicator for traders who organize intraday analysis around the Asia, London and New York trading sessions.
The indicator draws each configured session as a broker-time range, tracks the high, low and midpoint, and extends symmetric projection levels above and below the range. It also compares the session range with the average daily range calculated from 20 completed daily candles.
The indicator is designed for chart analysis. It does not open, manage or close trades.

How it works
While a session is active, its high and low continue to update. When the session closes, the completed range remains on the chart as a historical reference.
The midpoint is calculated at 50 percent of the session range.
Projection levels are calculated symmetrically from the session high and low. For example, a multiplier of 1.00 places an upper level one full session range above the high and a lower level one full session range below the low.
The default projection multipliers are:
0.50, 1.00 and 1.618
Up to six positive multipliers can be entered as comma-separated values.
ADR context
The indicator calculates average daily range from the previous 20 completed daily candles.
Each session label can show the session range as a percentage of that ADR value. This provides context for whether the current session has covered a relatively small or large portion of the recent daily movement.
Session time setup
All session hours use the broker server time displayed in MetaTrader 5.
Default sessions:
Asia: 00:00-06:00
London: 07:00-12:00
New York: 13:00-17:00
Broker schedules differ. Use Broker Offset Minutes when the supplied session times need to be shifted without editing every session individually.
The indicator also supports sessions that cross midnight. For example, 22:00-02:00 is treated as one continuous session.
How to use
1. Attach the indicator to an intraday chart.
2. Confirm the broker server time shown in MetaTrader 5.
3. Adjust the three session schedules when necessary.
4. Select the number of historical days to display.
5. Keep the default projection multipliers or enter your own positive values.
6. Enable the status panel only when a compact current-session summary is required.
7. Enable boundary alerts when you want a notification near the active session high or low.
8. Combine the displayed levels with your own market structure, execution and risk-management rules.
The indicator is most useful on intraday charts where individual sessions can be viewed clearly. It can remain attached to other chart timeframes, but several sessions may appear compressed on higher timeframes.

Important information
Session schedules vary between brokers and can change when server time or daylight-saving arrangements change. Check the displayed broker time and update the settings when necessary.
Projection levels are mathematical extensions of the measured session range. They are not guaranteed targets or reversal levels.
The indicator requires one-minute and daily price history for the selected symbol. MetaTrader may need time to download missing history when the indicator is attached for the first time.
Kito Session Range Projection is an analytical tool. It does not guarantee trading results and should be used with appropriate risk management.
