London Intraday Protraction
by ToodegreesTrack London's tendencies for reversals and continuation in forex
Quick Info
Platform: TradingView
Concept: ICT based London Session time and price profiling
Designed for: Forex traders applying ICT time and price logic
Best used when: Framing London Open Killzone expectations and filtering engagement based on conditional logic
What It Does
London Intraday Protraction° [Pro+] is an automatic market profiling tool built from ICT time and price parameters specifically for the London Session in Forex markets.
It automatically annotates:
- Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR)
- Asian Range (AR)
- London Session time window
- Range size validation
- CBDR standard deviations
- Protraction scenarios
Instead of manually calculating range sizes, validating conditions, and projecting time based expectations, the indicator automates the full ICT London session framework using historical statistics and live visuals.
It turns time and price conditions into structured profiles that guide expectation before and during the London session.
Purpose
Most traders know that the London session often sets the high or low of the day. The problem is inconsistency in applying ICT time and price conditions correctly.
London Intraday Protraction° [Pro+] exists to standardize:
- When ranges are valid or invalid
- When protraction is expected early versus delayed
- Whether current conditions support a normal or delayed profile
- How historical data supports those expectations
This removes subjectivity from session analysis and replaces it with conditional logic based on ICT Core Content.
It allows traders to focus on price delivery and bias rather than drawing predetermined parameters manually.
Why Choose It
Most London tools only mark session highs and lows. They do not apply conditional logic, time validation, or statistical profiling.
London Intraday Protraction° [Pro+] goes further by:
- Automatically validating or invalidating CBDR and AR ranges
- Projecting deviations within the London time opportunity
- Filtering profiles into Normal, Delayed, or Negated scenarios
- Providing statistical probabilities based on historical sessions
There are three anticipated profiles:
Normal Protraction
The high or low of the day is anticipated early in the London session when time and price conditions are valid.
Delayed Protraction
Invalid price parameters suggest protraction occurs later in the session.
Normal Protraction Negated
Invalid time parameters shift expectation toward later session delivery.
Color coding reinforces repetition and pattern recognition, helping traders build familiarity and expectation discipline.
This tool reduces overtrading by defining when conditions actually support engagement.
