Market Session Squares Overview:
The colored squares at the bottom of the chart represent different trading sessions—Asia, Europe (London), and USA (New York). The color intensity in these squares is designed to reflect the relative liquidity during each session. Here's a breakdown of how the colors can be interpreted:

Asia Session (Sydney/Tokyo):
Color: Light Green
Interpretation: The lighter green color indicates the start of the trading day in the Asian markets (Sydney/Tokyo). Liquidity during this session is relatively lower compared to other sessions.

Europe Session (London):
Color: Gradual Transition from Light Green to Red
Interpretation: The color transition from light green to red signifies the increasing liquidity as the European session (London) unfolds. London is a major financial hub, contributing to higher trading volumes.

USA Session (New York):
Color: Deep Red
Interpretation: The deep red color represents the peak of liquidity during the USA session (New York). This session overlaps with the London session, creating a period of maximum trading activity and market participation.

Interpreting Color Intensity:
Light Green: Low liquidity, the beginning of a session.
Red Transition: Increasing liquidity, reaching a peak.
Deep Red: Maximum liquidity, session overlap (London and New York).

Note:
The Market Session Indicator Works only on 1H Timeframe and Lower, The Dashboard and Daily High/Low on All
The color scheme aims to provide a visual guide to traders, helping them identify periods of higher or lower market activity. The intensity of the red color indicates the significance of the session in terms of liquidity, with the deepest red occurring during the overlap of the London and New York sessions.
