Time & Session Dividers
### indicator Summary
This indicator is a powerful utility designed to help you visualize time-based market structure by drawing customizable vertical lines on your chart. It allows you to clearly mark the beginning of new timeframes (like hours, days, or weeks) and highlight specific trading sessions or time slots (like the London open or a news event).
It comes with **6 independent dividers** that you can configure to your exact needs:
* **3 Timeframe Dividers**
* **3 Custom Time Slot Dividers**
### Key Features
* **Timeframe Separators:** Set up to 3 different higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D). The indicator will automatically draw a vertical line at the start of each new bar for that timeframe, helping you easily see hourly, daily, or weekly boundaries.
* **Custom Time Slots (Sessions):** Define up to 3 specific time windows (e.g., "09:30-16:00" for the New York session). The indicator will draw a line at the **start** of this session and another line at the **end**, allowing you to isolate specific periods of market activity.
* **Full Customization:** Each of the 6 dividers is fully independent and can be customized with:
* A simple toggle to turn it on or off.
* A unique color.
* A line style (Solid, Dotted, or Dashed).
* A toggle to show or hide its text label.
* **Smart Labels:** Labels for timeframe dividers display the timeframe (e.g., "4H"), while labels for time slots automatically format to show the precise start or end time (e.g., "09:30" and "16:00").
### How to Use
1. Add the "Timeframe Vertical Lines" indicator to your chart.
2. Open the indicator's **Settings** panel.
3. **To add a timeframe line (e.g., Daily):**
* Go to the "Timeframe Divider 1" group.
* Check the "Show Divider 1" box.
* Set the "Timeframe 1" to "1D".
* Adjust the color, style, and text visibility to your liking.
4. **To add a session line (e.g., London Session):**
* Go to the "Time Slot Divider 1" group.
* Check the "Show Time Slot Divider 1" box.
* Set the "Time Slot 1" to your desired session, e.g., "0800-1700".
* Adjust the color and style. The script will now draw lines at 08:00 and 17:00 (based on the chart's timezone).
5. Repeat the process using the other available divider slots to build a complete temporal map of your chart.
