2. Session-Segregated Tracking
Automatic Session Detection: Precisely identifies active trading sessions based on user-configured time parameters.
Independent Calculations: Maintains separate sentiment accumulation for each major session, updated only during respective active hours.

❗️LIMITATIONS

1. Data Dependency
Volume Requirements: Volume-based analysis only functions when volume data is provided by your broker. Many forex brokers do not supply reliable volume data.
Price Action Focus: In absence of volume data, sentiment calculations rely primarily on price movement and volatility factors.

2. Session Time Sensitivity
Manual Adjustment Required: Session times must be manually updated for daylight saving time changes.
Broker Variations: Different brokers may have slightly different session definitions requiring time parameter adjustments.

3. Ranging Market Limitations
Trend Bias: Sentiment calculations may be less reliable during extended sideways or low-volatility market conditions.
Lag Consideration: As with all sentiment indicators, readings may lag during rapid market transitions.

4. Regional Market Focus
Major Session Coverage: Designed primarily for major global sessions; may not capture sentiment from smaller regional markets.
Weekend Gaps: Does not account for weekend gap effects on sentiment calculations.
