VX-Session-Boxes-(AM/PM Split)(Customizable) by Ikaru-s-
VX-Session-Boxes-(AM/PM Split) is a session-based visualization tool for TradingView that highlights major market sessions directly on the chart using dotted range boxes and an optional AM/PM split.
The indicator allows traders to visually separate market behavior across different sessions while keeping the chart clean and readable.
🔹 Key Features
Custom Session Definitions
Define up to 4 independent sessions using TradingView’s session format (HHMM-HHMM + weekdays).
Timezone-Aware
All sessions are calculated using a user-defined timezone (IANA or UTC offset), ensuring accurate session alignment across markets.
Dotted Session Boxes
Each session is drawn as a dotted box based on the session’s high/low range, providing a clear view of volatility and price structure.
AM / PM Split Visualization
Sessions can be visually split into AM and PM parts:
Separate box shading for AM and PM
Optional dotted vertical split line at the AM → PM transition (12:00 in the selected timezone)
Session Labels
Optional labels at the start of each session for quick identification (e.g. Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York).
Fully Customizable Visuals
Adjustable opacity, border width, and visibility toggles for boxes, split lines, and labels.
🔹 Use Cases
Session-based market analysis (Asia / London / New York)
Identifying session ranges and volatility expansion
Observing price behavior differences between AM and PM
Studying session transitions and liquidity shifts
🔹 Notes
Session boxes are based on session high and low, not full chart height.
AM/PM split is based on 12:00 (noon) in the selected timezone.
Designed for clarity and performance on intraday timeframes.
