NYSE Open Close Session Map by o0psiNYSE Open Close Session Map by o0psi
This indicator highlights the regular US cash session window (default 09:30–16:00 New York time) and makes the key session bars obvious on the chart.
What it shows
A marker on the session OPEN bar
A marker on the session CLOSE bar (last in-session candle)
Optional background highlight for the full session window
Optional labels for the session high and session low bars (based on intraday price during the session)
How it works
The script detects bars inside the selected session window (New York timezone). It anchors OPEN on the first in-session bar, updates the session high/low while the session is active, then anchors CLOSE on the final in-session bar and labels the high/low bars where they occurred.
Notes
Session range precision depends on chart timeframe (lower timeframes capture extremes more precisely).

CANDLE_TIME_RDThis tool displays the time of each candle directly on the chart by placing a label below
the bar with an upward-pointing arrow for clear visual alignment. It helps traders quickly
identify the exact timestamp of any candle during fast intraday analysis or historical review.
OVERVIEW
The script extracts the hour and minute of each bar, formats the timestamp according to the
user’s preference, and prints it beneath the candle. This removes the need to rely on the
data window or crosshair for time inspection. It is ideal for ITI evaluation, timestamp
journaling, and precise replay study.
FEATURES
- Prints the time under each candle or every N-th candle using a simple step input.
- Supports both AM/PM and military time through a toggle input.
- Builds all hour and minute text manually to ensure consistent formatting.
- Uses label.style_label_up to draw an arrow pointing toward the candle.
- Positions labels with yloc.belowbar so they do not overlap price bars.
USE CASES
- Reviewing setups with ChatGPT where exact candle timing matters.
- Studying EMA touches, VWAP interactions, or momentum shifts that occur at specific times.
- Journaling entries and exits with precise timestamps.
- Quickly identifying candle times without zooming or opening data windows.
This script is designed for clarity and convenience, improving workflow for structured
intraday traders and replay analysts.

OTT Volatility [RunRox]📊 OTT Volatility is an indicator developed by the RunRox team to pinpoint the most optimal time to trade across different markets.
OTT stands for Optimal Trade Time Volatility and is designed primarily for markets without a fixed trading session, such as cryptocurrencies that trade 24/7. At the same time, it works equally well on any other market.
🔶 The concept is straightforward. The indicator takes a specified number of historical periods (Samples) and statistically evaluates which hours of the day or which days show the highest volatility for the selected asset.
As a result, it highlights time windows with elevated volatility where traders can focus on searching for trade setups and building positions.
🔶 As the core volatility metric, the indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure intraday volatility. Then it calculates the average ATR value over the last N Samples, creating a statistically stable estimate of typical volatility for the selected asset.
🔶 Statistically, during these highlighted periods the market shows higher-than-average volatility.
This means that in these time windows price is more likely to be subject to stronger moves and potential manipulation, making them attractive for active trade execution and position management.
⚠️ However, historical behavior does not guarantee future results.
These periods should be treated only as zones where volatility has a higher probability of being above normal, not as a promise of movement.
As shown in the screenshot above, the indicator also projects potential future volatility based on historical data. This helps you better plan your trading hours and align your activity with periods where volatility is statistically expected to be higher or lower.
🔶 Current Volatility – as shown in the screenshot above, you can also monitor the real-time volatility of the market without any statistical averaging.
On top of that, you can overlay the current volatility on top of the statistical volatility levels, which makes it easy to see whether the market is now trading in a high- or low-volatility regime relative to its usual behavior.
4 display modes – you can choose any visualization style that fits your trading workflow:
Absolute – displays the raw volatility values.
Relative – shows volatility relative to its typical levels.
Average Centered – centers volatility around its average value.
Trim Low Value – filters out low-volatility noise and highlights only more significant moves.
This indicator helps you define the most effective trading hours on any market by relying on historical volatility statistics.
Use it to quickly see when your market tends to be more active and to structure your trading sessions around those periods.
✅ We hope this tool becomes a useful part of your trading toolkit and helps you improve the quality of your decisions and timing.
Trading Sessions [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Trading Sessions indicator tracks and displays the four major global trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It provides session-based background highlighting, real-time price change tracking from session open, and a data table with session status. The script works across all markets (forex, equities, commodities, crypto) and helps traders identify when specific geographic markets are active, which directly correlates with changes in liquidity and volatility patterns. Default session times are set to major financial center hours in UTC but are fully adjustable to match your trading methodology.
🟢 Key Features
→ Session Background Color Coding
Each trading session gets a distinct background color on your chart:
1. Sydney Session - Default orange, 22:00-07:00 UTC
2. Tokyo Session - Default red, 00:00-09:00 UTC
3. London Session - Default green, 08:00-16:00 UTC
4. New York Session - Default blue, 13:00-22:00 UTC
When sessions overlap, the color priority is New York > London > Tokyo > Sydney. This means if London and New York are both active, the background shows New York's color. The priority matches typical liquidity and volatility patterns where later sessions generally show higher volume.
→ Color Customization
All session colors are configurable in the Color Settings panel:
1. Click any session color input to open the color picker
2. Select your preferred color for that session
3. Use the "Background Transparency" slider (0-100) to adjust opacity. Lower values = more visible, higher values = more subtle
4. Enable "Color Price Bars" to color candlesticks themselves according to the active session instead of just the background
The Color column in the info table shows a block (█) in each session's assigned color, matching what you see on the chart background.
→ Information Table Breakdown
→ Timeframe Warning
If you're viewing a timeframe of 12 hours or higher, a red warning label appears center-screen. Session boundaries don't render accurately on high timeframes because the time() function in Pine Script can't detect intra-bar session changes when each bar spans multiple sessions. The warning tells you to switch to sub-12H timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, etc.) for proper session detection. You can disable this warning in Color Settings if needed, but session highlighting can be unreliable on 12H+ charts regardless.
→ Time Range Configuration
Every session's time range is editable in Session Settings:
1. Click the time input field next to each session
2. Enter time as HHMM-HHMM in 24-hour format
3. All times are interpreted as UTC
4. Modify these to account for daylight saving shifts or to define custom session periods based on your backtested optimal trading windows
For example, if your strategy performs best during London/NY overlap specifically, you could set London to 08:00-17:00 and New York to 13:00-22:00 to ensure you see the full overlap highlighted.
→ Weekdays Filter
The "Weekdays Only (Mon-Fri)" toggle controls whether sessions display on weekends:
Enabled: Sessions only show Monday-Friday and hide on Saturday-Sunday. Use this for markets that close on weekends (most equities, forex).
Disabled: Sessions display 24/7 including weekends. Use this for markets that trade continuously (crypto).
→ Table Display Options
The info table has several configuration options in Table Settings:
Visibility: Toggle "Show Info Table" on/off to display or hide the entire table.
Position: Nine position options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right) let you place the table wherever it doesn't block your price action or other indicators.
Text Size: Four size options (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) to match your screen resolution and visual preferences.
→ Color Schemes:
Mono: Black background, gray header, white text
Light: White background, light gray header, black text
Blue: Dark blue background, medium blue header, white text
Custom: Manual selection of all five color components (table background, header background, header text, data text, borders)
→ Alert Functionality
The indicator includes ten alert conditions you can access via TradingView's alert system:
Session Opens:
1. Sydney Session Started
2. Tokyo Session Started
3. London Session Started
4. New York Session Started
5. Any Session Started
Session Closes:
6. Sydney Session Ended
7. Tokyo Session Ended
8. London Session Ended
9. New York Session Ended
10. Any Session Ended
These alerts fire when sessions transition based on your configured time ranges, letting you automate monitoring of session changes without watching the chart continuously. Useful for strategies that trade specific session opens/closes or need to adjust position sizing when volatility regime shifts between sessions.
Timed Swing Points [Free +] | cephxsTimed Swing Points | cephxs
This indicator is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. © cephxs, © fstarcapital
1. OVERVIEW
Timed Swing Points (TSP) highlights the timing of recent confirmed swing highs and lows and annotates them with context-aware time labels. Instead of drawing traditional pivot shapes and cluttering the chart, this streamlined free edition focuses on the temporal structure: WHEN pivots occur, not just WHERE . It helps discretionary traders quickly scan for clustering of swings around repeating intraday minutes or higher‑timeframe day names.
2. WHAT IT DOES
Detects swing highs and lows using a sensitivity factor (len)
Adds a time (or day name on daily timeframe) label at each qualified swing
Optional filtering to only show labels during defined "key time" minute windows
Automatically adapts label content to timeframe:
Intraday: HH:MM (24h or 12h model depending future input extension)
Daily: Full or abbreviated weekday names
Respects a maximum number of displayed swing points to keep charts clean
3. CORE FEATURES
Swing Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh(len, len) / ta.pivotlow(len, len); a pivot is confirmed only after enough bars pass, avoiding repaint on the current bar.
Time Labeling: Places labels offset back to the pivot bar index (bar_index - len).
Key Time Filtering: When enabled, labels only show if the pivot's minute is inside one of three windows: 00–10, 24–36, 50–59 minutes. These windows target common liquidity / volatility phases.
Day Name Mode: On daily timeframe, labels display full (e.g., Monday) or abbreviated (e.g., Mon) day names depending on the Full Day Names setting.
Point Limiting: Oldest labels are removed once Maximum Points Displayed is exceeded.
Clean Visual Footprint: Shape markers and lines are disabled in this free build (internally set to constants). Focus remains on time annotation density rather than price level persistence.
4. INPUTS & PARAMETERS
Sensitivity (len): Default 2. Swing pivot width. Higher = fewer, broader swings
Maximum Points Displayed: Default 10. Caps number of recent swing labels retained
Show Time Labels: Default true. Master toggle for all time labels
Key Times Only: Default true. Restricts labels to predefined minute windows
Prefix: Default blank. Optional text prepended to each label
High Time Color: Default red. Text color for swing high labels
Low Time Color: Default blue. Text color for swing low labels
Text Size: Default Small. Controls label text size (Tiny → Huge)
Full Day Names: Default true. Show full weekday names on daily timeframe
Internal Constants (Not User-Adjustable):
Shape display flags (show_high, show_low) set false
Line display and deletion logic present but disabled
Timezone currently fixed to America/New_York in Automatic mode; DST handled by TradingView engine
5. HOW SWING TIME IS DETERMINED
For each bar the script evaluates pivot conditions
A pivot is confirmed only after the right width (len) bars complete—the label is then placed len bars back
Time extraction uses the pivot's bar timestamp and converts:
Intraday: Formats HH:MM (24-hour). Infrastructure exists for future 12h toggle
Daily: Converts timestamp to a weekday name
Key time filter checks the pivot's minute bucket. If outside defined windows and filter is active, the label is skipped
6. TIME WINDOWS LOGIC (KEY TIMES ONLY)
Minutes 00–10 → Opening sequence & initial liquidity sweep
Minutes 24–36 → Post initial rotation / mid-hour inflection zone
Minutes 50–59 → Pre hour close / micro-structure reshuffle
ICT Traders: View as macros and note when macros form swing points
This pattern helps isolate intraday zones where structural shifts frequently occur, reducing noise from less consequential pivot timings.
7. USAGE GUIDELINES
Start with Sensitivity = 2 or 3 for most liquid intraday symbols. Increase on higher timeframes to avoid excessive clustering
Key Times Only ON: Ideal for focusing on session rotation pivots. OFF: Use for full discovery when studying custom time behaviors
Combine with volume profile or divergence tools to qualify time-labeled swings (e.g., a swing forming at 09:30 NY vs. random mid-bar)
Apply on lower timeframes (1–15m) to map recurring patterns or on Daily to see weekly rhythm changes
8. PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS
Efficient: Only stores arrays of recent labels and prunes aggressively
No Alerts: Current version does not fire alerts (Future Pro+ variant may include swing-time alerting)
Timezone: Fixed to America/New_York
9. BEST PRACTICES
Use a neutral chart theme; contrasting label colors amplify swing clusters
When analyzing historical pattern reliability, temporarily raise Maximum Points Displayed to 50–100 then revert to lighter values for live trading
Prefix field: Add a tag like "T:" if mixing multiple custom time tools to differentiate label origin
10. FAQ
Q: Why do some expected swings not show?
If they confirm outside key minute windows and filtering is ON, they're intentionally suppressed.
Q: Can I get price levels drawn?
Not in this free build. Lines/shapes are disabled intentionally.
Q: Does it repaint?
Pivot confirmation waits for the right width; labels appear only after the swing is locked in. Past labels aren't retroactively moved.
Q: Can I monitor multiple symbols at once?
This version is single‑symbol; use layouts or Pro variants for multi-source overlays.
11. CHANGELOG
v1.0 (Initial Free Release): Core swing time labeling, key time filter, day name adaptation, performance improvements. More updates coming.
12. DISCLAIMER
This tool is an analytical overlay designed for timing context only. It is NOT a standalone buy/sell signal. Always validate swings with broader market structure, liquidity pools, and risk management. No guarantee of future performance.

True Previous Day/Week High & LowTrue Previous Day/Week High & Low
What makes this indicator unique:
Unlike most previous day high/low indicators that only track SESSION data (e.g., 6:00 PM - 5:00 PM for futures), this indicator calculates the TRUE calendar day high and low from MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT (00:00 - 23:59) in New York time.
Why this matters:
- Session-based indicators miss crucial price action that occurs during overnight hours
- True midnight-to-midnight calculation gives you the ACTUAL daily range
- Essential for traders who need accurate previous day levels for support/resistance
- Works perfectly on 24-hour markets like futures (NQ, ES, YM, etc.)
Features:
✓ True calendar day high/low (00:00-23:59 NY time)
✓ Previous week high/low
✓ Customizable line colors, widths, and styles (solid, dashed, dotted)
✓ Optional labels with adjustable size, color, and spacing
✓ Values displayed on price scale
✓ Toggle individual levels on/off
✓ Optimized for 1-minute charts but works on all timeframes
Perfect for:
- Futures traders (NQ, ES, YM, RTY)
- Day traders using previous day levels as key support/resistance
- Swing traders tracking weekly ranges
- Anyone who needs accurate 24-hour high/low levels
Settings are clean and intuitive - just add to your chart and customize the appearance to match your setup!

369 Swing Points369 Swing Points - Digital Root Time Analysis
This indicator combines swing point detection with digital root numerology applied to intraday timestamps, filtering for times that reduce to 3, 6, or 9.
Methodology:
The script uses pivot point detection to identify swing highs and lows, then calculates the digital root of the bar's timestamp. Digital root is calculated by recursively summing the digits of a number until a single digit remains (e.g., 13:45 = 1345 → 1+3+4+5 = 13 → 1+3 = 4). Only swing points occurring at times with digital roots of 3, 6, or 9 are displayed.
What Makes This Unique:
Unlike standard swing point indicators, this filters results based on time-based numerology. The multiple calculation modes allow testing different hypotheses: whether the full timestamp (HHMM), just the minutes (MM), or either produces significant patterns. This is particularly useful for traders exploring intraday cyclical patterns or time-based market theories, especially popular in swing trading communities that follow specific time cycles.
How It Works:
Detects swing highs/lows using configurable lookback periods
Extracts the timestamp from each swing point bar
Calculates digital root using selected time mode (Full Time, Minutes Only, or Both)
Displays only swings with DR of 3, 6, or 9
Includes timezone adjustment to match your local time
Optional real-time plotting to show potential swings before confirmation
Configuration:
Swing Length: Sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 2)
Digital Root Mode: Full Time (HHMM), Minutes Only (MM), or Both
Timezone Offset: Aligns displayed times with your chart's timezone
Label customization: Text size, color, spacing options
Real-time Plotting: Shows unconfirmed swings as they develop (with transparency)
Debug mode: View all swings with their digital roots for analysis
Usage:
Works on all intraday timeframes (1min to 4H). Adjust timezone offset to ensure accurate time display. Use debug mode to verify swing detection and see digital root calculations for all pivots. Enable "Highlight 369 Digital Root Bars" to see when current bar time has a 3/6/9 digital root.

Ichimoku PourSamadi Signal [TradingFinder] KijunSen Magic Number🔵 Introduction
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system is one of the most comprehensive market analysis tools ever created. Developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist in the 1930s, its purpose was to allow traders to recognize the balance between price, time, and momentum at a single glance. (In Japanese, Ichimoku literally means “one look.”)
At the core of the system lie five key components: Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line), Kijun-sen (Baseline), Chikou Span (Lagging Line), and the two leading spans, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B, which together form the well-known Kumo or cloud representing both temporal structure and equilibrium zones in the market.
Although Ichimoku is commonly used to identify trends and support/resistance levels, a deeper layer of time philosophy exists within it. Ichimoku was not designed solely for price analysis but equally for time analysis.
In the classical model, the numerical cycles 9, 26, 52 reflect the natural rhythm of the market originally based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s trading schedule in the 1930s.
These values repeat across the system’s calculations, forming the foundation of Ichimoku’s time symmetry where price and time ultimately seek equilibrium.
In recent years, modern analysts have explored new approaches to extract time-based turning points from Ichimoku’s structure. One such approach is the analysis of flat segments on the Kijun-sen and Senkou B lines.
Whenever one of these lines remains flat for a period, it signals temporary balance between buyers and sellers; when the flat breaks, the market exits equilibrium and a new cycle begins.
This indicator is built precisely upon that philosophy. Following the timing methodology introduced by M.A. Poursamadi, the focus shifts away from price signals and line crossovers toward identifying flat periods on Kijun-sen (period 52) as time anchors.
From the first candle that changes the line’s slope, the tool begins a temporal count using a fixed sequence of key numbers: 5, 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 43, 52, 63, 72, 81, 90.
Derived from both classical Ichimoku cycles and empirical testing, these numbers mark potential timing nodes where a market wave may end, a correction may begin, or a new leg may form.
Thus, this method serves not merely as another Ichimoku tool but as a temporal metronome for market structure a way to visualize moments when the market is ready to change rhythm, often before candles reveal it.
🔵 How to Use
The Kijun Timing BoX is built entirely on Ichimoku’s concept of time analysis.
Its core idea is that within every flat segment of the Kijun-sen, the market enters a temporary balance between opposing forces.
When that flat breaks, a new time cycle begins. From that first breakout candle, the indicator starts counting forward through the predefined time sequence(5, 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 43, 52, 63, 72, 81, 90).
This counting framework creates a temporal map of market behavior, where each number represents an area where meaningful price fluctuations often occur.
A “meaningful fluctuation” does not necessarily imply reversal or continuation; rather, it marks a moment when the market’s internal energy balance shifts, typically visible as noticeable reactions on lower timeframes.
🟣 Identifying the Anchor Point
The first step is recognizing a valid flat zone on the Kijun-sen.
When this line remains flat for several candles and then changes slope, the indicator marks that bar as the Anchor, initiating the time count.
From that point onward, vertical gray lines appear at each interval in the key-number sequence, visualizing the time nodes ahead.
🟣 Reading the Timing Lines
Each numbered line represents a timing node a temporal point where a change in price rhythm is statistically more likely to occur.
At these nodes, the market may :
Enter a consolidation or minor correction phase.
Develop range-bound movement.
Or simply alter the speed and intensity of its move.
These behaviors do not imply a specific direction; they only highlight zones where time-based activity tends to cluster, giving traders a clearer view of cyclical rhythm.
🟣 Applying Time Analysis
The indicator’s primary use is to observe temporal order, not to predict price direction.
By tracking the distance between Anchors and the reactions that appear near major timing lines, traders can empirically identify each market’s characteristic rhythm—its own time DNA.
For example, one asset may consistently show significant fluctuations around the 13- and 26-bar marks,while another might react closer to 9 or 52. Recognizing such patterns helps traders understand how long typical cycles last before new phases of volatility emerge.
🟣 Combining with Other Tools
The indicator does not generate buy/sell signals on its own.
Its best use is in combination with price- or structure-based methods, to see whether meaningful price reactions occur around the same timing nodes.
In practice, it helps distinguish structured time-based fluctuations from random, noise-driven moves an insight often overlooked in conventional market analysis.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical Settings
KijunSen Period : Defines the baseline period used for timing analysis. Default = 52. It is the main line for detecting flats and generating time anchors.
Flat Event Filter : Controls how flat segments are validated before triggering a new timing event.
All : Every flat triggers a new Timing Box.
Automatic : Only flats longer than the historical average are used (recommended).
Custom : User manually defines the minimum flat length via Custom Count.
Update Timing Analysis BoX Per Event : If enabled, a new Timing Box is drawn each time a new flat event occurs. If disabled, the box completes its 90-bar window before refreshing.
🟣 Ichimoku Settings
TenkanSen Period : Defines the period for the Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen). Default = 9.
KijunSen Period : Sets the standard Ichimoku baseline (not the timing line). Default = 26.
Span B Period : Defines the period for Senkou Span B, the slower cloud boundary. Default = 52.
Shift Lines : Offsets cloud projection into the future. Default = 26.
🟣 Display Settings
Users can show or hide all Ichimoku lines Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, Chikou Span, Span A, and Span B as well as the Ichimoku Cloud.
They can also customize the color of each element to match personal chart preferences and improve visibility.
🔵 Conclusion
This analytical approach transforms Ichimoku’s time philosophy into a visual and measurable framework. A flat Kijun-sen represents a moment of market equilibrium; when its slope shifts, a new temporal cycle begins.
The purpose is not to forecast price direction but to highlight periods when meaningful fluctuations are more likely to develop.
Through this perspective, traders can observe the hidden rhythm of market time and expand their analysis beyond price into a broader time-cycle dimension.
Ultimately, the method revives Ichimoku’s original principle: the market can only be truly understood through the simultaneous harmony of price, time, and balance.

3CRGANG - SESSIONSOverview
The "3CRGANG - SESSIONS" indicator is a comprehensive tool for visualizing and monitoring major global trading sessions on TradingView charts. It highlights sessions for key exchanges—New York (NYSE), London (LSE), Frankfurt (FSE), Sydney (ASX), Tokyo (TSE), and Hong Kong (HKSE)—with customizable alerts, background coloring on low timeframes, and an interactive dashboard table. Designed for traders who operate across timezones or need session-based context, it accounts for holidays, half-days, and daylight saving time (DST) adjustments to provide accurate, real-time session status. On charts of 1-minute or lower, it overlays semi-transparent background colors to mark active sessions visually. Across all timeframes, a compact table at the bottom center displays session cells with dynamic coloring, and hovering over each reveals a tooltip with the weekly schedule, time until open/close, and holiday notes.
Built on Pine Script v6, this overlay indicator enhances situational awareness for forex, stocks, futures, and other assets by syncing with exchange-specific calendars. Its invite-only status ensures access to refined features that go beyond standard session tools, making it ideal for multi-market strategies.
How It's Built: Core Concepts and Calculations
The indicator leverages a modular approach to session detection, drawing from time-based logic for precision. Sessions are defined by fixed start/end times in their native timezones (e.g., NYSE: 0930-1600 America/New_York), adjusted dynamically for DST via timezone-aware functions. Key components include:
Session Activation Checks: Using helper functions like f_isSessionActive, it evaluates if the current bar or real-time timestamp falls within session hours, excluding weekends. Time is broken into minutes since midnight for comparisons, with special handling for overnight sessions (though none here cross midnight significantly).
Holiday and Half-Day Integration: Pre-loaded holiday maps for each exchange detect full closures or early closes (e.g., NYSE half-days end at custom times like 1300). If a half-day is identified, session end times are overridden, and pre-close periods recalculated (e.g., 30/5 minutes before adjusted close).
Pre-Open/Pre-Close Detection: Sub-sessions (e.g., 30 minutes before open) use similar logic to flag impending events, triggering only on the first bar of these windows via f_SessionOpen and f_SessionClose for efficiency.
Timestamp Calculations: Functions like f_SessionTimes and f_SessionTimesForTooltip compute open/close timestamps from timenow, adjusting for next trading day if after close or on weekends/holidays. This ensures forward-looking accuracy in tooltips.
Alert System: Configurable per-session, it fires notifications for pre-open (30/5 min), open, pre-close (30/5 min), close, and holidays. Alerts use alert.freq_once_per_bar to avoid spam, gated by market open status.
Visual Dashboard: A 6-column table is drawn with table.new, positioned via input (default bottom-center). Cells update colors based on state: active (session color at 75% opacity), pre-active (yellow), or inactive (gray). Tooltips via f_getSessionTooltip compile weekly schedules using f_formatScheduleEntry, which converts session times to user timezone, formats dates (DD/MM), weekdays (padded for alignment), and notes holidays/early closes. Time remaining uses f_formatTimeRemainingtooltip for human-readable countdowns (e.g., "1h:30m").
Background Coloring: On ≤1m timeframes, bgcolor applies session-specific hues (e.g., green for NYSE) at 90-95% transparency, configurable via light/dark themes.
User Customization: Inputs handle timezone (90+ options with DST), time format (standard/military, though not fully implemented in script), device (adjusts text padding/sizes), and theme (swaps colors for readability).
This setup combines timestamp arithmetic, conditional mapping, and array-based date iteration to create a robust, adaptive system that respects global market nuances without relying on simplistic built-in session strings.
Why It's Useful
Trading sessions drive liquidity, volatility, and price action—e.g., London open often sparks trends in forex, while NYSE influences equities. This indicator demystifies these by providing at-a-glance visuals and alerts, reducing the need for manual timezone conversions or external calendars. Background colors on low TFs help spot session overlaps (e.g., London/NY for high volume), while the table's tooltips offer quick weekly overviews, ideal for planning around holidays like Lunar New Year (HKSE-specific additions). Alerts prevent missing key events, and holiday detection avoids false expectations during closures.
For global traders, it minimizes errors in multi-asset setups; scalpers benefit from pre-open warnings, while swing traders use schedules for longer-term context. Its non-intrusive design (transparent on higher TFs) keeps charts clean, enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Access via invite-only on TradingView; apply to any timeframe, best on intraday for backgrounds or any for the dashboard.
Configure Inputs:
Time Settings: Select your timezone (e.g., UTC+3 Jerusalem) for accurate tooltip conversions; choose time format (standard preferred for readability).
Visualization Setup: Pick device (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile) for optimized text sizing/padding; select Light/Dark theme to match your chart.
Sessions Dashboard: Adjust table position if needed (default bottom-center).
Notifications Settings: Toggle alerts per exchange (e.g., enable NYSE for US focus).
Trading Application:
Visual Cues: On ≤1m charts, watch for color changes to enter/exit during active sessions. Hover table cells for schedules—current day highlighted, future/past separated, holidays marked (*).
Alerts: Set up in TradingView's alert manager for "alert() function calls only" to get notifications like "New York Session is about to Open in less than 5 minutes!"
Strategies: Use pre-open for setups (e.g., range breaks), closes for profit-taking. Combine with volume indicators during overlaps.
Best Practices: Test on demo; adjust alerts to avoid overload. For non-realtime, tooltips use current date for projections.
Why It's Unique and Worth Invite-Only Access
Unlike basic session highlighters that use rigid time strings or ignore holidays, this indicator integrates a custom holiday library with half-day adjustments and additional events (e.g., Buddha's Birthday for HKSE), ensuring precision across exchanges. Its tooltip system—generating timezone-converted weekly schedules with day adjustments, countdowns, and holiday notes—provides unmatched planning utility, while adaptive visuals (device/theme-aware) and granular alerts (pre-events included) elevate it beyond public tools. The logic for timestamp forward-projection, weekend skipping, and formatted entries builds on but significantly enhances built-in functions and educational examples.
This originality—protecting the proprietary blend of global calendar handling, alert gating, and interactive dashboards—justifies closed-source status. As invite-only, it delivers premium value through reliable, low-maintenance features that free traders from external apps, warranting access for those seeking an edge in session-based trading.

Price Level HighlighterThis indicator is a minimalist and highly effective tool designed for traders who incorporate institutional concepts into their analysis. It automates the identification of key psychological price levels and adds a unique, dynamic layer of information to help you focus on the most relevant area of the market. Inspired by core principles of market structure and liquidity, it serves as a powerful visual guide for anticipating potential support and resistance.
The core idea is simple: specific price points, particularly those ending in round numbers or common increments, often act as magnets or barriers for price. While many indicators simply plot static lines, this tool goes further by intelligently highlighting the single most significant level in real-time. This dynamic feature allows you to quickly pinpoint where the market is currently engaged, offering a clear reference point for your trading decisions. It reduces chart clutter and enhances your focus on the immediate price action.
Features
Customizable Price Range: Easily define a specific Start Price and End Price to focus the indicator on the most relevant area of your chart, preventing unnecessary clutter.
Adjustable Increment: Change the interval of the lines to suit your trading style, from high-frequency increments (e.g., 10 points) for scalping to wider intervals (e.g., 50 or 100 points) for swing trading.
Intelligent Highlighting: A key feature that automatically identifies and highlights the single horizontal line closest to the current market price with a distinct color and thickness. This gives you an immediate visual cue for the most relevant price level.
Highly Customizabile: Adjust the line color, style, and width for both the main lines and the highlighted line to fit your personal chart aesthetic.
Usage
Apply the indicator to your chart.
In the settings, input your desired price range (Start Price and End Price) to match the market you are trading.
Set the Price Increment to your preferred density.
Monitor the chart for the highlighted line. This is your active price level and a key area of interest.
Combine this tool with other confirmation signals (e.g., order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity pools) to build higher-probability trade setups.
Best Practices
Pairing: This tool is effective across all markets, including stocks, forex, indices, and crypto. It is particularly useful for volatile markets where price moves rapidly between psychological levels.
Mindful Analysis: Use the highlighted level as a reference point for your analysis, not as a standalone signal. A break above or below this level can signify a shift in market control.
Backtesting: Always backtest the indicator on your preferred market and timeframe to understand how it performs under different conditions.
