OHLC Macro Range Map Macros

**The OHLC Macro Range Map is engineered to deliver precise and targeted market analysis by focusing on key institutional timing windows—known as trading macros.**

These macros represent strategically defined micro-periods within major trading sessions where significant liquidity shifts, volatility spikes, and institutional order flow are most likely to occur.

By aligning its calculations with these high-impact windows, the OHLC Macro Range Map allows traders to isolate moments of potential smart money activity with exceptional clarity.

The tool analyzes the following key macro timeframes:

#### London Session

* (London) 02:33 – 03:00
* (London Silver Bullet) 03:00 – 04:00
* (London) 03:15 – 03:45
* (London) 04:03 – 04:30
* (London) 04:15 – 05:00

#### New York AM Session

* (NY AM) 08:15 – 08:45
* (NY AM) 08:50 – 09:10
* (NY AM) 09:15 – 09:45
* (NY AM) 09:50 – 10:10
* (NY AM Silver Bullet) 10:00 – 11:00
* (NY AM) 10:15 – 10:45
* (NY AM) 10:50 – 11:10

#### New York Lunch Session

* (NY Launch) 11:50 – 12:10

#### New York PM Session

* (NY PM) 13:10 – 13:40
* (NY PM) 13:45 – 14:15
* (NY PM Silver Bullet) 14:00 – 15:00
* (NY PM) 14:45 – 15:15
* (NY PM) 15:15 – 15:45

#### **Custom**

* (Custom) 11:00 – 11:30

These time intervals are not arbitrary—they are derived from historical patterns of institutional engagement, where price manipulation, liquidity grabs, and major directional moves often originate.

By tailoring its calculations to these specific moments, the OHLC Macro Range Map helps traders identify **high-probability setups**, **anticipate market reversals**, and **better align with the underlying narrative of smart money behavior**.

Whether you're scalping intraday or looking to refine your entry timing, this macro-focused approach offers a valuable edge by revealing where and when the most meaningful price action is likely to unfold.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/statistics/ohlc-macro-range-map-tm/macros.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
