Smart Scanners › Session and profile
Session open crossed
The two most-used time anchors in the ICT vocabulary, and the two that are exactly defined: the price at 00:00 New York and at the 09:30 open. This fires the first time price returns through one of them.
What it looks like on a chart
A horizontal line at the anchor price, drawn forward from the crossing bar. The anchor bar's own open is the level.
| Timeframe | Bars of history it reads | Settings | Events, last 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| M15 | 400 | New York clock, DST-correct; the anchor is that bar's OPEN; first close-through since the anchor | 468 |
| M30 | 400 | New York clock, DST-correct; the anchor is that bar's OPEN; first close-through since the anchor | 402 |
| H1 | 400 | New York clock, DST-correct; the anchor is that bar's OPEN; first close-through since the anchor | 223 |
| H4 | 400 | — | 0 |
Not on D1. It built on a SESSION — the profile, the first hour, the prior day's extremes. On D1 a session is one bar and the question is empty.
