Professional Session Analysis and Opening Range Breakout Tracker

This advanced indicator provides comprehensive session tracking and Opening Range Breakout (ORB) analysis across multiple global trading sessions. Designed for intraday traders, this tool helps identify key support and resistance levels, session volatility patterns, and potential breakout opportunities.

• Identify Session Highs and Lows: Track the boundaries of each trading session to spot key support/resistance levels
  
• Monitor Opening Range Breakouts: Capture the first 5, 15, or 30 minutes of major exchange openings to identify early directional bias
  
• Analyze Multi-Session Patterns: View up to 4 concurrent or sequential sessions with full historical data
  
• Customize Visual Analysis: Tailor colors, styles, and overlays for each session independently
