Why traders in Pakistan and India use QFT Killzones
Most session indicators were made for London or New York. Traders in Lahore, Karachi, Delhi or Mumbai still have to work out what "02:00 New York" means today, and get it wrong twice a year when the clocks change. QFT Sessions & Killzones does that work for you, then goes further: it shows you the actual ICT setups that formed in each killzone and how they ended, so you learn the model on your own pair and your own broker.

Features
Every session drawn as a clean box with its high, low and range in pips, so you see at a glance which session moved the market.
Asian, London, New York and London Close killzones as a slim colour strip at the bottom of the chart. It stays in place while you scroll and zoom.
Inside each killzone the indicator finds the liquidity that was swept (session highs/lows and untaken swings), waits for a strong market structure shift and marks the entry, SL and target.
Minimum 1:2. If the sweep took a session's liquidity, the target is the other side of that same session; beyond it the move is ridden with a 3-candle trailing rule.
Every past setup shows WIN +3.4R, LOSS -1R or OPEN, and the panel adds up wins, losses, win rate and total R for the last days. Learn from facts, not opinions.
The same indicator, panel and setups for MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4. Download the version for your platform.
The panel shows the time in Pakistan (PKT) or India (IST), which session is open, when it closes and which killzone is next. No more converting New York time in your head.
London and New York change their clocks on different dates. The indicator follows both, day by day, so old and new boxes are always at the right hour.
GMT+2/+3 brokers (most of them) are detected automatically. A fixed offset can be set for any other broker.
PDH and PDL lines with prices, the two levels most intraday traders watch for liquidity and reactions.
A clean QFT panel with rounded corners. It matches a dark or white chart automatically and stays sharp on high-resolution screens.
Hover over any box, line or setup to read what it is and why it matters. Students learn ICT concepts directly on their own chart.

The live session clock
The panel sits in the top-left corner of the chart. It shows the time in Pakistan (PKT) or India (IST), which of Asia, London and New York is open, how long until it closes or opens, which killzone is running now or comes next, and the result of the recent setups: wins, losses, win rate and total R.
It follows your chart colours: dark panel on a dark chart, white panel on a white chart.
How the killzone setups work
The indicator follows the classic ICT idea: in a killzone, price first runs the stop losses resting above or below an obvious level, then turns. It only marks a setup when all four steps happen, and only on closed candles.
- Liquidity. A level where stop losses sit: the high or low of the Asia, London or New York session, or a swing high/low that no candle has broken yet.
- Sweep. A candle inside a killzone wicks beyond that level and closes back inside: the stop hunt.
- MSS (market structure shift). Within a few candles, a strong candle closes through the last swing on the other side. The trap is confirmed and the direction has changed.
- Entry, SL and target. Entry at the close of the MSS candle, stop loss beyond the sweep. The target is at least 1:2; if the sweep took a session's liquidity, the target is the other side of that session.
How each result is counted
- Stop loss hit before 1:2 → LOSS -1R.
- 1:2 reached, but price comes back to the entry before the target → WIN +2R.
- Target reached (for example the Asia high) → WIN with that target's full R.
- Price runs beyond the target → the move is followed until a candle closes back beyond the last 3 candles, and the whole move is counted.
Each setup is drawn like a position tool: green from entry to target, red from entry to stop loss, with one clear label such as BUY WIN +3.4R. Hover over it to see the entry, stop loss, target and which liquidity was swept.
