MainFX session indicatorScript Title: MainFX Session Indicator with Customizable Lines
Overview:
This script is designed to help traders visually identify key market sessions on their TradingView charts. It marks both the opening and closing of major sessions (Frankfurt, London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo) by drawing lines and labels on the chart. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing you to define specific session times, choose your preferred time zone, and adjust the visual appearance of all lines.
Key Features:
Custom Session Times:
Each session’s start and end times are defined by user inputs in a simple HHMM-HHMM format. This means you can adjust the sessions to match the exact market hours you follow, making the indicator flexible for different trading strategies and markets.
Time Zone Flexibility:
The "Chart/Local Time Zone" input lets you override the default time zone of your chart. By setting a specific time zone (e.g., "Africa/Lagos" or "Africa/Accra"), the script calculates session start and end events relative to that zone. This ensures that, regardless of where you are trading from, the session markers accurately reflect the intended market hours and adjust automatically for Daylight Saving Time if applicable.
Open Range Levels (ORH/ORL):
When a session opens or closes, the script draws horizontal lines at the high and low of the candle immediately before the event. These levels act as the Open Range High (ORH) and Open Range Low (ORL) markers. They serve as key reference points for traders to gauge price levels established just before a session change.
Customizable Visuals:
Every visual element is customizable. You can adjust the color, width, and style (defaulting to a dotted line) of both the ORH/ORL lines and the combined session lines that label open and close events. This allows you to tailor the indicator to match your charting style and ensure that the lines stand out clearly.
Session Event Detection:
The script utilizes helper functions to check each bar on the chart. It compares the current bar’s session status with that of the previous bar to determine whether a session has just started or ended. When such a transition is detected, it triggers the drawing of the appropriate lines and labels.
Optimized for Intraday Trading:
Since the script’s functionality is based on minute-level bar changes, it is best used on 1-minute or lower timeframes. This ensures precision in marking the exact moments when sessions transition, which is critical for intraday trading strategies.
How It Works:
Session Timing:
The script calculates the session periods using the time() function with the user-defined session strings and time zone. This makes it independent of the chart’s inherent time settings.
Event Triggering:
When the current bar transitions into or out of a session (i.e., the session status changes between bars), the script detects this change. It then draws horizontal lines at the previous candle’s high and low (marking ORH and ORL) and adds session labels for clarity.
Visual Customization:
Users can easily change the appearance of the drawn lines and session labels via the script’s input options, ensuring that the indicators are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally clear.
Usage:
For Traders:
Use this indicator to keep track of critical market sessions and to spot participants in the session.
Customization:
Adjust session times and the time zone to suit your local market or the specific market you are analyzing.
Visual Clarity:
Customize line styles to ensure that your chart remains clear and that the session markers are easy to interpret even during overlapping sessions.

ka66: FX Sessions High/LowThis indicator is specific to the 24-hour Forex Market. It provides 2 features:
Demarcating forex sessions with open and close lines. Note that looking at various sources online, we use the convention that the Asia session starts with the Tokyo market open, rather than the earlier Sydney session. Presumably this is better since we then have more liquidity in the market. Note that we have three sessions: Asia, London, New York.
At the end of each session, we begin plotting that (closed) session's high and low, which acts as a natural support and resistance for the Forex market. This is the key feature it provides. The first feature is mainly there for a visual guide, which can be turned off via the UI settings, but it certainly helps verifying the logic!
For more background, we are taking the idea of Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), but adjusting it to a multi-session market like Forex. In essence, this is is a "Previous Session High/Low" indicator.
PDH/PDL works fine when you have a market with Regular Trading Hours, ignoring Extended Hours. However, in the Forex market, each session can have differing sentiments, e.g. we often see say London bringing prices up, and New York bringing them back down.
The break of session high/lows (or bouncing off them) can reflect where the potential direction price is going to take.
I also categorised this as a Sentiment indicator, because support and resistance areas where prices react do provide the sentiment of the market. They aren't just lines, they are prices of interest to major players.
Denys_MVT (Sessions Boxes)Denys_MVT (Sessions Boxes)
This indicator highlights the main trading sessions — Asia, Frankfurt, London, and New York — directly on the chart.
It helps traders visually separate market activity during different times of the day and quickly understand which session is currently active.
🔹 How it works
You can choose between Box Mode (draws a box around the session’s high and low) or Fill Mode (background color for the session).
Each session has its own customizable time range and color.
Labels can be placed automatically at the beginning of each session.
The script uses the time() function with your selected UTC offset to precisely map session times.
🔹 Features
Displays Asia, Frankfurt, London, and New York sessions.
Option to toggle between boxes and background shading.
Adjustable transparency and session colors.
Session labels for easier visual reference.
Works on any symbol and timeframe.
🔹 How to use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Set your local UTC offset in the settings (default: UTC+2).
Enable/disable sessions, change colors, or switch between Box/Fill mode.
Use the session highlights to better understand when volatility typically increases and how different sessions interact.
New York, London and custom trading sessionsHi Traders
The script :
The Time sessions script plots the trading sessions of both New York and London markets (background fills), In addition to the above the script also plots a user defined trading session period (vertical lines). All plots may be toggled true or false inorder to ensure you can focus on the respective market / markets / custom session.
Market sessions are useful for technical or quantitative analysis, as the majority of trading activity and net daily volume occurs in these zones, in fact the U.S./London market overlap tends to have the greatest volume accumulation across that range of time / bars than that range at any other time within the daily session. For FX traders it may also be important to take into account for many currency pairs the average exchange rate pip movement is greatest within these zones.
The custom session, is intended to be used for traders who trade only within specific intervals within the market session or day for 24/7 traded asset classes
Additional notes :
Not as of now, I have only added three optional trading sessions. If you would like to change the sessions, copy the scripts code and change the "ctm_session" default time range value, insuring the second time value is 1 min > than the first.
As always i Hope this is a useful script, and I will be updating this script in the near future.

Multi-Session ORBThe Multi-Session ORB Indicator is a customizable Pine Script (version 6) tool designed for TradingView to plot Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It allows traders to define specific ORB durations and session times in Central Daylight Time (CDT), making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. Customizable ORB Duration: Users can set the ORB duration (default: 15 minutes) via the inputMax parameter, determining the time window for calculating the high and low of each session’s opening range.
2. Flexible Session Times: The indicator supports user-defined session and ORB times for:
◦ Sydney: Default ORB (17:00–17:15 CDT), Session (17:00–01:00 CDT)
◦ Tokyo: Default ORB (19:00–19:15 CDT), Session (19:00–04:00 CDT)
◦ London: Default ORB (02:00–02:15 CDT), Session (02:00–11:00 CDT)
◦ New York: Default ORB (08:30–08:45 CDT), Session (08:30–16:00 CDT)
3. Session-Specific ORB Levels: For each session, the indicator calculates and tracks the high and low prices during the specified ORB period. These levels are updated dynamically if new highs or lows occur within the ORB timeframe.
4. Visual Representation:
◦ ORB high and low lines are plotted only during their respective session times, ensuring clarity.
◦ Each session’s lines are color-coded for easy identification:
▪ Sydney: Light Yellow (high), Dark Yellow (low)
▪ Tokyo: Light Pink (high), Dark Pink (low)
▪ London: Light Blue (high), Dark Blue (low)
▪ New York: Light Purple (high), Dark Purple (low)
◦ Lines are drawn with a linewidth of 2 and disappear when the session ends or if the timeframe is not intraday (or exceeds the ORB duration).
5. Intraday Compatibility: The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts) and only displays when the chart’s timeframe multiplier is less than or equal to the ORB duration.
How It Works:
• Session Detection: The script uses the time() function to check if the current bar falls within the user-defined ORB or session time windows, accounting for all days of the week.
• ORB Logic: At the start of each session’s ORB period, the script initializes the high and low based on the first bar’s prices. It then updates these levels if subsequent bars within the ORB period exceed the current high or fall below the current low.
• Plotting: ORB levels are plotted as horizontal lines during the respective session, with visibility controlled to avoid clutter outside session times or on incompatible timeframes.
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to identify key breakout levels for each trading session, facilitating strategies based on price action around the opening range. The flexibility to adjust ORB and session times makes it suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, or futures) and time zones.
Limitations:
• The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes and may not display on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly) or if the timeframe multiplier exceeds the ORB duration.
• Time inputs are in CDT, requiring users to adjust for their local timezone or market requirements.
• If you need to use this for GC/CL/SPY/QQQ you have to adjust the times by one hour.
This indicator is ideal for traders focusing on session-based breakout strategies, offering clear visualization and customization for global market sessions.
RTH Session Range Position (0-100) with EMAA Pine Script indicator designed to help traders understand where the current price is located within the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session range, from 0 (session low) to 100 (session high). It also plots a smoothed EMA of this position to provide insight into momentum or trend during the RTH session.
What the Indicator Does
Defines RTH (Regular Trading Hours):
Start: 9:30 AM
End: 4:00 PM
These are typical US equity market hours.
Tracks the session's high and low during RTH:
sessionHigh and sessionLow update only during RTH.
Calculates position of the current price within the RTH range:
Formula: ((close - sessionLow) / (sessionHigh - sessionLow)) * 100
Result is a percentage:
0 = at session low
100 = at session high
50 = middle of session range
Calculates an EMA of that position (posEMA):
Smooths out the raw position to help visualize momentum within the range.
Plots and table:
Plots pos and posEMA on a separate chart pane.
Adds horizontal lines at key levels (0, 30, 50, 70, 100).
Table shows current values for Position, EMA, and Range.
Visual cues:
bgcolor highlights when pos crosses over or under the EMA — potential momentum shifts.
Alerts:
Cross above/below 50 (session midpoint).
Cross above/below EMA.
How to Use It Effectively
1. Session Strength & Momentum
Position above 70: Price is near session highs — strong upward momentum.
Position below 30: Price is near session lows — strong downward momentum.
Use the EMA of position to filter out noise and identify trends.
2. Breakout or Reversal Detection
Cross above EMA: Momentum may be turning bullish.
Cross below EMA: Momentum may be turning bearish.
These crosses (especially near mid-levels like 50) can hint at session trend shifts.
3. Range Context for Entries
If you're a mean-reversion trader, look for:
Price > 70 + turning down below EMA → possible short.
Price < 30 + turning up above EMA → possible long.
For breakout traders, you might wait for:
Crosses above 70 with EMA support.
Crosses below 30 with EMA resistance.
4. Confirmation Tool
Use this indicator alongside others to confirm:
Whether price action has strength within the day.
Whether breakouts have real momentum or are extended already.

3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions [CHE] 3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions — Projects a perspective clock face onto the chart to display current time and market session periods for enhanced situational awareness during trading hours.
Summary
This indicator renders a three-dimensional clock projection directly on the price chart, showing analog hands for hours, minutes, and seconds alongside a digital time readout. It overlays session arcs for major markets like New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney, highlighting the active one with thicker lines and contrasting labels. By centralizing time and session visibility, it reduces the need to reference external clocks, allowing traders to maintain focus on price action while noting overlaps or transitions that influence volatility.
The design uses perspective projection to simulate depth, making the clock appear tilted for better readability on varying chart scales. Sessions are positioned radially outward from the main clock, with the current time marker pulsing on the relevant arc. This setup provides a static yet live-updating view, confirmed on bar close to avoid intrabar shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often miss subtle session shifts amid fast-moving charts, leading to entries during low-liquidity periods or exits before peak activity. Standard chart tools lack integrated time visualization, forcing constant tab-switching. This indicator addresses that by embedding a customizable clock with session rings, ensuring time context is always in view without disrupting workflow.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional session highlighters use simple background fills or vertical lines, which clutter the chart and ignore global time zones.
- Architecture differences:
- Perspective projection rotates and scales points to mimic 3D depth, unlike flat 2D drawings.
- Nested radial arcs for sessions, with dynamic radius assignment to avoid overlap.
- Live time calculation adjusted for user-selected time zones, including optional daylight savings offset.
- Practical effect: The tilted view prevents labels from bunching at chart edges, and active session emphasis draws the eye to liquidity hotspots, making multi-session overlaps immediately apparent for better timing.
How it works (technical)
The indicator calculates current time in the selected time zone by adjusting the system timestamp with a fixed offset, plus an optional one-hour bump for daylight savings. This yields hour, minute, and second values that drive hand positions: the hour hand advances slowly with fractional minute input, the minute hand ticks per 60 seconds, and the second hand sweeps fully each minute.
Points for the clock face and arcs are generated as arrays of coordinates, transformed via rotation around the x-axis to apply tilt, then projected onto chart space using a scaling factor based on depth. Radial lines mark every hour from zero to 23, extending to the outermost session ring. Session arcs span user-defined hour ranges, drawn as open polylines with step interpolation for smoothness.
On the last bar, all prior drawings are cleared, and new elements are added: filled clock circles, hand lines from center to tip, a small orbiting circle at the current time position, and centered labels for hours, sessions, and time. The active session is identified by checking if the current time falls within its range, then its arc thickens and label inverts colors. Initialization populates a timezone array once, with persistent bar time tracking for horizontal positioning.
Parameter Guide
Clock Size — Controls overall radius in pixels, affecting visibility on dense charts — Default: 200 — Larger values suit wide screens but may crowd small views; start smaller for mobile.
Camera Angle — Sets tilt from top-down (zero) to side (90 degrees), altering projection depth — Default: 45 — Steeper angles enhance readability on sloped trends but flatten at extremes.
Resolution — Defines polygon sides for circles and arcs, balancing smoothness and draw calls — Default: 64 — Higher improves curves on large clocks; lower aids performance on slow devices.
Hour/Minute/Second Hand Length — Scales each hand from center, with seconds longest for precision — Defaults: 100/150/180 — Proportional sizing prevents overlap; shorten for compact layouts.
Clock Base Color — Tints face and frame — Default: blue — Neutral shades reduce eye strain; match chart theme.
Hand Colors — Assigns distinct hues to each hand — Defaults: red/green/yellow — High contrast aids quick scans; avoid chart-matching to stand out.
Hour Label Size — Text scale for 1-12 markers — Default: normal — Larger for distant views, but risks clutter.
Digital Time Size — Scale for HH:MM:SS readout — Default: large — Matches clock for balance; tiny for minimalism.
Digital Time Vertical Offset — Shifts readout up (negative) or down — Default: -50 — Positions above clock to avoid hand interference.
Timezone — Selects reference city/offset — Default: New York (UTC-05) — Matches trading locale; verify offsets manually.
Summer Time (DST) — Adds one hour if active — Default: false — Enable for regions observing it; test transitions.
Show/Label/Session/Color for Each Market — Toggles arc, sets name, time window, and hue per session (New York/London/Tokyo/Sydney) — Defaults: true/"New York"/1300-2200/orange, etc. — Customize windows to local exchange hours; colors differentiate overlaps.
Reading & Interpretation
The analog face shows a blue-tinted circle with white 1-12 labels and gray hour ticks; hands extend from center in assigned colors, pointing to current positions. A white dot with orbiting ring marks exact time on the session arc. Digital readout below displays padded HH:MM:SS in white on black.
Active sessions glow with bold arcs and white labels on colored backgrounds; inactive ones use thin lines and colored text on light fills. Overlaps stack outward, with the innermost (New York) closest to the clock. If no session is active, the marker sits on the base ring.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs during London-New York overlap (thicker dual arcs) confirmed by higher highs; filter with volume spikes.
- Exits/Stops: Tighten stops pre-Tokyo open if arc thickens, signaling volatility ramp; trail during Sydney for overnight holds.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex/stocks; on higher timeframes, enlarge clock size to counter bar spacing. Pair with session volume oscillators for confirmation.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Rendering occurs only on the last bar, using confirmed history for stable display; live bars update hands and marker without repainting prior elements. No security calls or higher timeframe fetches, so no lookahead bias.
Resource limits include 2000 bars back for positioning, 500 each for lines, labels, and boxes—sufficient for full sessions without overflow. Arrays hold timezone data statically. On very wide charts, projection may skew slightly due to fixed scale.
Known limits: Visual positioning drifts on extreme zooms; daylight savings assumes manual toggle, risking one-hour errors during changes.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with New York timezone, 45-degree tilt, and all sessions enabled—these balance global coverage without clutter. For too-small visibility, bump clock size to 300 and resolution to 48. If labels overlap on narrow views, reduce hand lengths proportionally. To emphasize one session (e.g., London), disable others and widen its color contrast. For minimalism, set digital size to small and offset to -100.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visual time and session overlay to contextualize trading windows, not a signal generator or predictive tool. It complements price analysis and risk rules but requires manual interpretation. Use alongside order flow or momentum indicators for decisions.

Asia & London Session High/Low – EOD Segments (v4.5)What it does
Plots the Asia and London session high & low each day.
When a session ends, its high/low are locked (non-repainting) and drawn as horizontal segments that auto-extend to the end of that same day (no infinite rays).
Optional labels show the exact level at session close.
Toggle whether to keep prior days on the chart or auto-clear them on the first bar of a new day.
Why traders use it
Quickly see overnight liquidity levels that often act as magnets or barriers during the U.S. session.
Map session range extremes for breakout/reversal planning, partials, and invalidation.
Works great alongside VWAP, 8/20/200 MAs, or your NY session tools to build confluence.
How it works
You define the session windows (defaults: Asia 00:00–06:00, London 07:00–11:00).
While a session is active, the script tracks running high/low.
On the bar after the session ends, the level is finalized and drawn; the segment’s right edge updates each bar until EOD, then stops automatically.
Inputs
Session Timezone: “Exchange”, UTC, or a specific region (set this to match your venue).
Asia / London Session: editable HHMM-HHMM windows.
Show Asia / Show London: enable either/both sessions.
Keep history: keep or auto-delete previous days.
Show labels: price labels at session close.
Colors & width: customize high/low colors and line width.
Best practices
Use on intraday timeframes (1–60m).
For equities/futures, set timezone to your exchange (e.g., America/New_York). For FX/crypto, pick what matches your workflow.
Common tweak: London 08:00–12:00 local; Asia 00:00–05:00 or your broker’s definition.
Notes
Non-repainting: levels only print once the session is complete.
Designed to be light and reliable—no boxes, just clean lines and labels.
If you want NY session levels, midlines (50%), anchored stop-time, or alerts on touches, this script can be extended.

ATT + Key Levels with SessionsKey Features:
ATT Turning Point Numbers:
This input allows the user to define specific numbers (e.g., "3,11,17,29,41,47,53,59") that mark turning points in price action, which are checked using the bar_index modulo 60. If the current bar index matches one of these turning points, it triggers potential buy or sell signals.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is calculated based on a user-defined period (rsi_period), typically 14, and used to indicate overbought or oversold conditions. The script defines overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels, which are used to filter buy or sell signals.
Session Times:
The script includes predefined session times for major trading markets:
New York: From 9:30 AM EST to 4:00 PM EST.
London: From 8:00 AM GMT to 4:30 PM GMT.
Asia: From 12:00 AM GMT to 9:00 AM GMT.
These session times are used to restrict the buy and sell signals to specific market sessions.
Key Levels:
The script calculates and plots key market levels for the current day and week:
Daily High and Low: The highest and lowest prices of the current day.
Weekly High and Low: The highest and lowest prices of the current week.
These levels are plotted with different colors for visual reference.
Signal Logic:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the current bar is a turning point (according to the ATT model), the RSI is below the oversold threshold, and the current time is within the active session times (New York, London, or Asia).
Sell Signal: Triggered when the current bar is a turning point, the RSI is above the overbought threshold, and the current time is within the active session times.
Signal Limitations:
A user-defined limit (max_signals_per_session) controls the maximum number of signals that can be plotted within each session. This prevents excessive signal generation.
Plotting and Background Highlights:
Buy and Sell Signals: The script plots shapes (labels) above or below the bars to indicate buy or sell signals when the conditions are met.
Background Highlight: The background color is highlighted in yellow when the current bar matches one of the defined ATT turning points.
In Summary:
The indicator combines multiple technical factors to generate trading signals:
Turning points in price action (based on custom ATT numbers),
RSI levels (overbought/oversold),
Market session times (New York, London, Asia),
Key price levels (daily and weekly highs and lows).
This combination helps traders identify potential buying and selling opportunities while considering broader market dynamics and limiting the number of signals during each session.
Market Session Times and Volume [Market Spotter]Market Session Times and Volume
Market Session Times
Inputs
The inputs tab consists of timezone adjustment which would be the chosen timezone for the plotting of the market sessions based on the market timings.
Further it contains settings for each box to show/hide and change box colour and timings for Asian, London and New York Sessions.
How it works
The indicator primarily works by marking the session highs and lows for the chosen time in the inputs, each of the sessions can be input a custom time value which would plot the box. It helps to identify the important price levels and the trading range for each individual session.
The midpoint of each session is marked with a dashed line. The indicator also marks a developing session while it being formed as well to identify potential secondary levels.
Usage
It can be used to trade session breakouts, false breaks and also divide the daily movement into parts and identify possible patterns while trading.
2. Volumes
Inputs
The volume part has 2 inputs - Smoothing and Normalisation. The smoothing period can simply be used to take in charge volumes of last X bars and normalisation can be used for calculating relative volumes based on last Y bars.
How it works
The indicator takes into account the buy and sell volumes of last X bars and then displays that as a relative smoothed volume which helps to identify longer term build or distribution of volume. It plots the positive volume from 0 to 100 and negative volume from 0 to -100 which has been normalised. The colors identify gradual increase or decrease in volumes
Usage
It can also be used to trade volume spikes well and can identify potential market shifts

This Pine Script code is designed to help traders visualize and analyze different market sessions. It's a tool that displays the trading hours for the Asian, London, and New York sessions right on the chart.
The main purpose is to show when these key markets are open and to highlight their price ranges. It also includes features to track the trend within each session and to identify "liquidity sweeps" or moments when the price breaks the high or low of a previous session.
In simple terms, it helps a trader see what the market is doing and where the price is likely to go, all based on the major global trading times. It's especially useful for day traders who want to align their strategies with the activity of specific markets.
P.S. Apologies to users not in the EST timezone! This version is hardcoded to Eastern Standard Time, and I'm not currently sure how to automatically adjust it for different timezones. But you can adjust manually and click the dropdown menu to Save As Default.

The text highlights the indicator's features, usage, and benefits, while avoiding overly technical jargon for a broad audience.

### Introducing the Full Session ATR Range (Live) Indicator with Position Toggle
Enhance your trading strategy with the **Full Session ATR Range (Live) Indicator**, a powerful tool designed to provide real-time insights into market volatility and session dynamics. This customizable indicator, now available with a position toggle feature, compares the current session's range to a 10-day Average True Range (ATR), helping traders gauge market activity and anticipate potential movements.
#### Key Features
- **Live Range Tracking**: Displays the current session's range (high minus low) alongside a 10-day ATR, updated in real-time during market hours.
- **Session Mode Flexibility**: Includes an auto-toggle option to switch between Electronic Trading Hours (ETH) and Regular Trading Hours (RTH), adapting to your preferred trading session. Manually select ETH or RTH, or let the indicator auto-detect based on market hours.
- **Comprehensive Metrics**: Offers a detailed breakdown including:
- Range/Avg %: Percentage of the current range relative to the 10-day ATR.
- Points Left: Remaining points to reach the average range.
- 100% Range Up/Dn: Potential upper and lower targets based on the ATR difference.
- **Position Customization**: Adjust the table's location on your chart with options like top-left, top-right, middle-center, or bottom-right for optimal visibility.
- **Visual Appeal**: Features a customizable background and text color to match your chart theme.
#### How It Works
The indicator calculates the 10-day ATR using daily data and tracks the current session's range, resetting at the start of each day or session change. During market hours (e.g., 6 AM - 8 PM CDT, adjustable), it updates live, providing actionable insights. When the market is closed, it displays historical ATR while marking live metrics as "n/a" to avoid confusion. The ETH/RTH toggle ensures the range reflects either the full extended session or the core trading hours, tailored to your strategy.
#### Why Use It?
Whether you're a day trader monitoring intraday volatility or a swing trader assessing longer-term trends, this indicator helps you:
- Identify overextended or underactive sessions compared to historical norms.
- Plan entries and exits with targets based on the 100% Range Up/Dn levels.
- Stay informed with a clean, adjustable display that fits your workflow.
#### Installation & Customization
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Adjust the ATR length (default: 10 days) and table position via the input settings.
3. Choose your session mode (Auto, ETH, or RTH) and customize colors to suit your style.
4. Test during market hours for live updates—note that static values may appear outside trading sessions.
