SHORT TITLE (product name field):
OFX KillZones — ICT Kill Zones & Macros (NY time) for XAUUSD (Gold)
-------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------
**OFX KillZones** shades the four ICT **kill zones** and marks the eight **macro**
windows directly on your chart, all in **DST-correct New York time**. It answers the
one question that decides most gold trades: **"is this a high-probability time to be
active — or should I wait?"**
It is a **time filter, not a price signal** — ICT's rule is that the kill zone is the
catalyst, so you don't pre-position. Purpose-built for **XAUUSD (Gold)**, recommended
on **H1**.
-------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IT DOES
-------------------------------------------------------
• **Shades the 4 kill zones** — Asian, London, New York AM, and London Close, each
with its own subtle background colour that sits behind price.
• **Marks the 8 macros** — dotted vertical lines at the ICT macro windows, each with
a hover tooltip showing the name and NY time.
• **DST-correct New York time** — sessions and macros stay accurate across daylight
saving changes.
• **Auto-calibration** — can auto-detect your broker's GMT offset live, so the zones
land in the right place on any broker.
• **Live panel** — a bottom-right panel shows the current **NY clock**, the active
**kill zone**, and the active **macro**.
-------------------------------------------------------
KEY ADVANTAGES
-------------------------------------------------------
• **Trade the right hours** — instantly see when the market is likely to move and
when to stand aside.
• **Never mis-time by broker** — DST-correct NY time + auto-calibration handle
broker offsets for you.
• **Clean and unobtrusive** — subtle background shading, not chart clutter.
• **Discipline built in** — the ICT rule "wait for the catalyst, don't pre-position"
made visual.
• **Built for gold** — tuned for XAUUSD, recommended on H1 (runs on other symbols).
• **Fits a bigger system** — see below.
-------------------------------------------------------
PART OF THE OFX ORDERFLOW SUITE — ALL ENGINES WORK TOGETHER
-------------------------------------------------------
OFX KillZones is **one engine in the OrderFlow (OFX) suite** — a set of indicators
built as **one connected system, not separate tools.** Each engine reads a different,
independent side of the same gold market, and they are designed to agree:
• **OFX Delta** + **OFX CVD** — raw order-flow (delta and cumulative delta)
• **OFX MoneyFlow** — money-flow pressure (CMF / MFI style)
• **OFX ICT** + **OFX KillZones** (this product) — higher-timeframe bias, FVG and
session timing
• **OFX Heatmap** — where liquidity is resting across levels
• **OFX Book** — live order-book / DOM imbalance
• **OFX Dashboard** — the cockpit that reads all the engines in one panel
When several independent engines line up in the **same direction**, the read is far
stronger than any single tool. **OFX KillZones supplies the timing dimension** —
it tells you WHEN the other engines' signals are most likely to work. Use it on its
own, or add the rest of the suite for multi-engine confluence.
-------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------
• Symbol: **XAUUSD (Gold)** recommended (runs on other symbols too)
• Recommended timeframe: **H1** (or lower for precise session entries)
• MetaTrader 5.
-------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO USE
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Attach OFX KillZones to an **XAUUSD** chart.
2. Focus your trading inside the **London** and **New York AM** kill zones (the most
active for gold); use the macros for precise windows.
3. Read the bottom-right panel for the live NY clock and active window, and combine
with the rest of the OFX suite for higher-conviction entries.
-------------------------------------------------------
INPUTS / PARAMETERS
-------------------------------------------------------
• **InpLookbackBars** — how many bars back to shade the zones (default: 600)
• **InpBrokerWinter** — your broker's GMT offset in WINTER, in minutes
(default: 120 = EET). Only used if auto-calibration is off.
• **InpBrokerDST** — the broker's DST calendar (default: US)
• **InpAutoCalib** — auto-detect the broker's GMT offset live (default: true)
• **InpShowMacros** — draw the macro vertical lines (default: true)
• **InpPrefix** — object-name prefix for the drawings (default: OFXKZ_)
-------------------------------------------------------
NOTE
-------------------------------------------------------
OFX KillZones is a timing tool. It shows WHEN to be active, not WHICH way to trade —
pair it with the order-flow and ICT engines for direction. This is by design.
