Day, Week, or Hour Coloring

26. Aug. 2024

This is a simple Script that dynamically colors the chart bars based on the day of the week, week of the month, or hour of the day. Users can toggle between these three modes using the Color Mode input, allowing for flexible visual representation of time periods directly on the chart.

Key Features:
Color Modes:
Day Mode: Colors the bars according to the day of the week, with each day assigned a unique color.
Week Mode: Colors the bars based on the week of the month, providing a different color for each week.
Hour Mode: Colors the bars according to the hour of the day, with distinct colors assigned to each hour.
How It Works:
Day Mode:
The script assigns a unique color to each day of the week (e.g., Monday is red, Tuesday is green).
Week Mode:
The script calculates the week of the month by considering the first day of the month and adjusts the day count to determine the correct week.
Each week is assigned a specific color (e.g., Week 1 is red, Week 2 is green).
Hour Mode:
The script assigns a unique color to each hour of the day (e.g., 0:00 is blue, 1:00 is green).
Selected Color Application:
The script evaluates the selected Color Mode and applies the corresponding color to the bars on the chart using the barcolor() function.
This indicator is useful for traders who want to visually distinguish time periods on their charts, aiding in pattern recognition and time-based analysis.

Updated to also color border and wicks. Note this script plots its own candles. It will be necessary to go to trading view settings and uncheck the boxes for "Bodies","Borders" and "Wicks" to allow the script to function as intended.
