3-6-9 Times v3.1 (rdt)

3-6-9 Times v3.1 Indicator Overview
Core Concept

This indicator identifies specific times/dates where the digital root (sum of digits reduced to a single number) equals 3, 6, or 9, which are considered significant in numerology and certain trading methodologies.

How It Calculates Roots:

For Intraday Timeframes (minutes, hours):
Formula: Hour + First Minute Digit + Last Minute Digit → Reduce to single digit

For Daily/Weekly/Monthly Timeframes:
Uses Month + Day calculations with similar digit reduction logic.

Key Features:

1. Break Filter (Default: ON)
Only displays labels after a swing high/low is broken
Prevents clutter by filtering out times that don't coincide with price action
Configurable pivot length (default: 2 bars)
Optional directional filter: green candles must break highs, red candles must break lows

2. Root Selection
Toggle individual roots (3, 6, or 9) on/off
Each root has customizable color
Default colors: Blue (3), Green (6), Red (9)

3. Display Options
Marking Style: Labels, Vertical Lines, or Both

Label Text Format:
Root Only (default) - shows just "3", "6", or "9"

Typical Use Case

Traders use this to identify potential reversal or continuation points when:

A 3/6/9 time occurs
Price breaks a recent swing high/low
Combining this timing signal with other technical analysis

The indicator helps identify "energetic" time windows that may correlate with increased volatility or directional moves.
