Rainbow MA Cloud█ OVERVIEW Rainbow MA Cloud displays 8 Moving Averages as a gradient-colored cloud to visualize trend direction and strength. The "rainbow" effect shows momentum through ribbon width, while perfect MA alignment signals strong trending conditions. █ CONCEPTS The indicator uses 8 MAs with Fibonacci-based default lengths (8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233) to create a layered view of price momentum across multiple timeframes. Perfect Alignment Detection: • Bullish Alignment — All 8 MAs in ascending order (MA1 > MA2 > ... > MA8) Indicates strong uptrend with momentum across all timeframes • Bearish Alignment — All 8 MAs in descending order (MA1 < MA2 < ... < MA8) Indicates strong downtrend with aligned selling pressure • Mixed — MAs are not in sequential order, suggesting consolidation or transition Ribbon Width: • Widening ribbon = Trend acceleration, increasing momentum • Narrowing ribbon = Trend weakening, potential reversal or consolidation █ FEATURES 1 — MA Configuration Choose from EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA calculation methods. All 8 MA lengths are fully customizable. 2 — Color Themes Five built-in themes: Rainbow, Warm, Cool, Neon, Mono. Creates visually distinct gradient from fast to slow MAs. 3 — Alignment Background Green background during bullish alignment. Red background during bearish alignment. Helps quickly identify strong trending periods. 4 — Trend Signals Labels appear when perfect alignment forms. "BULL ALIGN" for bullish, "BEAR ALIGN" for bearish. 5 — Information Panel Real-time display of alignment status, trend strength percentage, ribbon width, price position relative to cloud, and MA values. █ HOW TO USE Entry Signals: • Look for alignment signals (BULL/BEAR ALIGN) as trend confirmation • Enter long when bullish alignment forms with price above cloud • Enter short when bearish alignment forms with price below cloud Trend Following: • Stay in position while alignment background color persists • Widening ribbon confirms trend continuation • Exit or reduce when alignment breaks (background disappears) Support/Resistance: • Cloud edges act as dynamic support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) • Price entering cloud suggests consolidation or potential reversal █ LIMITATIONS • Alignment signals are lagging by nature (based on MA crossovers) • Works best on trending markets; generates mixed signals during ranging periods • Ribbon width measurement uses outer MAs only (MA1 vs MA8) █ COMPANION INDICATOR Use "Rainbow MA Width" indicator for detailed Z-Score analysis of ribbon expansion/contraction patterns.

Candle Microstructure ClassifierCandle Microstructure Classifier Public Description The Candle Microstructure Classifier is a visual study designed to highlight meaningful single-candle behaviors based purely on price geometry. It classifies candles according to body size and wick structure, helping traders visually identify moments of aggression, commitment, failed pushes, and rejection directly on the price chart. This script is a study only. It does not generate trade signals, entries, exits, or forecasts. Its purpose is to provide structural context that can be combined with other tools such as trend, volume, or volatility analysis. Quantitative Description Each candle is decomposed into its geometric components relative to its total range (high − low). All classifications are based on normalized fractions to remain scale‑independent across instruments and timeframes. Definitions: 1. Candle Range (R): R = High − Low 2. Body Size (B): B = |Close − Open| Body Fraction = B / R 3. Upper Wick (UW): UW = High − max(Open, Close) Upper Wick Fraction = UW / R 4. Lower Wick (LW): LW = min(Open, Close) − Low Lower Wick Fraction = LW / R Candle Classifications: • Commitment Candle: Body Fraction ≥ Large Body Threshold Upper Wick Fraction ≤ Tiny Wick Threshold Lower Wick Fraction ≤ Tiny Wick Threshold Interpretation: Strong directional acceptance with minimal intrabar rejection. • Marubozu (Aggression): Body Fraction ≥ Large Body Threshold One wick effectively absent (near zero) Interpretation: Pure directional aggression with no meaningful counter‑pressure. • Trend Attempt Failure: Body Fraction ≥ Large Body Threshold One wick large, opposite wick small Interpretation: Strong push followed by immediate rejection on one side. • Rejection Candle: Body Fraction ≤ Small Body Threshold Upper Wick Fraction ≥ Large Wick Threshold Lower Wick Fraction ≥ Large Wick Threshold Interpretation: Two‑sided rejection indicating price discovery or balance. • Pin Rejection (optional): Body Fraction ≤ Small Body Threshold Only one wick large Interpretation: One‑sided rejection often occurring near support or resistance. Notes and Context This classifier intentionally avoids pattern names tied to prediction. Each classification describes observed auction behavior inside a single bar, not an expectation of future movement. Sources and Further Reading Candle structure and wick interpretation: • Investopedia – Candlestick Patterns and Anatomy www.investopedia.com Volume and volatility context examples: • Wyckoff Method – Effort vs Result (Volume + Price Structure) school.stockcharts.com • CME Group – Using Volume and Volatility Together www.cmegroup.com Example Applications: 1. A commitment candle occurring simultaneously with a volume spike may indicate institutional participation and acceptance at that price level. 2. A rejection candle forming during elevated volatility (ATR expansion) may signal failed price discovery and potential mean reversion zones.

Future Ichimoku Cloud - HorizonIchimoku Horizon is an advanced Ichimoku indicator that projects future cloud formations and component lines, giving traders unprecedented visibility into potential support/resistance zones before they form. 1. Future Ichimoku Projections Project Ichimoku components forward in time using simulated price evolution based on rolling Tenkan/Kijun windows Manual forecast periods up to 125 bars (all 4 components) or 500 bars (cloud only) Smart limit management automatically adjusts to TradingView's drawing object limits while maximizing visible projections 2. Preset & Custom Ichimoku Configurations Choose from multiple common Ichimoku presets or fully customize your own 3. Multi-Timeframe Display & Projections Display Ichimoku from higher/lower timeframes directly on your current timeframe chart Automatic scaling adjusts Ichimoku periods correctly across timeframes Intelligent handling of 24/7 markets (crypto/forex) vs traditional session-based markets Built-in detection of problematic timeframe combinations with optional MTF cloud fetching for accuracy Automatic notifications when future projections are unavailable due to MTF constraints 4. Tenkan & Kijun Range Windows Visual range windows that display the exact high/low range used for Tenkan and Kijun calculations Optional High/Low markers placed at the exact bars they occur Optional countdown labels show how many bars remain until the current High/Low expires from the rolling window Range windows scale up and down dynamically to match display timeframe 5. Comprehensive Alert Suite Built-in alerts for all major Ichimoku events: TK crosses, E2E entires, Kumo breakouts, etc. All alerts are cloud-aware and displacement-correct. How It Works The indicator uses the traditional Donchian channel method to calculate Ichimoku components, then extends this logic forward by simulating future price action within the calculation windows (no new highs or lows). This creates a forward-looking projection of where support and resistance zones will form. The range display feature helps traders understand why the lines are where they are by showing the exact high/low points and countdown timers for when these points will expire from the calculation. Who This Indicator Is For: Ichimoku traders who want future-aware context Multi-timeframe analysts seeking correctly aligned clouds Traders who want to understand Tenkan/Kijun mechanics Users who need precision without manual recalculation Notes: Maximum 500 drawing objects limit managed automatically Due to Pinescript/TradingView limitations, future Tenkan/Kijun line width is only modifiable in the source code.

Liquidity Vacuum DetectorThis indicator identifies liquidity vacuum zones—price areas where the market previously moved quickly with little resistance. These zones often allow price to travel faster once re-entered, which is favorable for intraday options trading. Vacuum zones are created during strong, clean impulse moves (large range, low overlap, thin participation). When price later enters a stored vacuum zone with volume expansion, the indicator prints a directional triangle to highlight a potential high-speed move. Optional filters include VWAP directional bias and regular trading hours (RTH). Designed as a trade filter and acceleration tool, not a predictive signal. Best used in combination with key levels (PMH/PML, ORH/ORL, VWAP) and volume confirmation.

Hurst ALMA Tuned Chandelier Exit Hurst × ALMA Tuned Chandelier Exit (HurstALMA-CE) Public Description Hurst × ALMA Tuned Chandelier Exit (HurstALMA-CE) is an adaptive trend‑following stop and exit indicator. It combines a smoothed price input (ALMA), a regime detector based on the Hurst exponent, and a dynamically tuned Chandelier Exit to automatically adjust its behavior between choppy and trending market conditions. Instead of using a single fixed Chandelier configuration, the indicator continuously measures whether price action is behaving more like noise or a persistent trend. In choppy markets, it becomes more conservative by using shorter lookbacks and wider ATR multiples to reduce whipsaws. In trending markets, it tightens the stop and extends the lookback to better lock in gains while staying aligned with the trend. The result is a regime‑aware trailing exit that adapts in real time, helping traders stay in strong trends longer while avoiding over‑sensitivity during sideways price action. HurstALMA‑CE can be used as a visual trailing stop, a trend confirmation overlay, or as an exit engine inside discretionary or systematic strategies. Quantitative Description 1. Input Series Price is optionally pre‑filtered using an Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA), defined by length, offset, and sigma parameters. This smoothed series is used as the input to the Hurst estimator to reduce high‑frequency noise. 2. Hurst Exponent Proxy The indicator estimates the Hurst exponent using a variance‑scaling method. For fixed lags (8, 16, 32, 64), price differences are computed and their variances are measured over a rolling lookback window. A log‑log regression of variance versus lag produces a slope, which is mapped to a Hurst estimate via: H ≈ 0.5 × slope. The raw estimate is smoothed using an EMA to improve stability. 3. Regime Weight Mapping The smoothed Hurst value is linearly mapped into a normalized weight w ∈ using user‑defined low‑H (choppy) and high‑H (trending) thresholds. Values below the low threshold map to w = 0, values above the high threshold map to w = 1. 4. Adaptive Chandelier Parameters The Chandelier Exit length and ATR multiplier are interpolated between two parameter sets: • Chop regime (shorter length, wider multiplier) • Trend regime (longer length, tighter multiplier) Interpolation is performed as: CE_len = CE_len_chop + w × (CE_len_trend − CE_len_chop) CE_mult = CE_mult_chop + w × (CE_mult_trend − CE_mult_chop) Before sufficient data is available for the Hurst calculation, fallback Chandelier parameters are used. 5. Output The final output consists of long and short Chandelier Exit levels computed using the dynamically tuned parameters. Optional status values expose the current Hurst estimate, regime weight, and active Chandelier settings for diagnostics and strategy development.

Liquidity Sweep Reentry ToolkitHere’s a clear breakdown of what your Liquidity Sweep Reentry Toolkit script does, and how you can use it on your charts: 🔎 Script Breakdown 1. Visual Controls (Inputs) • : Master toggle to turn all visuals on/off. • : Show labels when a liquidity sweep + ChoCh condition occurs. • : Plot green/red triangles for bullish/bearish reentry signals. • : Prevent multiple signals within the same swing. • : Show HH/HL/LL/LH market structure letters. • : Slider to adjust how dim the background of HH/HL/LL/LH labels appear. 2. Core Conditions • Defines simple bullish () and bearish () candles. • is a placeholder for your Change of Character logic. 3. Sweep Detection • : Detects when price makes a new high compared to the last 5 bars. • : Detects when price makes a new low compared to the last 5 bars. 4. Restriction Flags • Tracks whether a sweep signal has already triggered in the current swing. • Resets when sweeps end, so new signals can appear. 5. Composite Triggers • : Fires when bullish candle + buy-side sweep + ChoCh condition align. • : Fires when bearish candle + sell-side sweep + ChoCh condition align. 6. Visual Labels • Gold labels mark “BS Sweep + ChoCh” or “SS Sweep + ChoCh” events. • Green triangle below bar = bullish reentry. • Red triangle above bar = bearish reentry. • Blue HH/HL/LL/LH labels narrate market structure pivots, with adjustable transparency. 7. Alerts • Alerts can be set for bullish or bearish sweep reentry triggers, so you get notified when conditions align. 📘 How to Use It 1. Apply to Chart Add the script to your TradingView chart (works best on intraday timeframes like 5‑minute). 2. Configure Visuals • Use the Visual Controls panel to toggle features on/off. • Adjust the Label Transparency slider to dim or brighten the HH/HL/LL/LH labels. 3. Interpret Signals • Gold labels show when a sweep + ChoCh condition occurs. • Triangles mark potential reentry points (green = bullish, red = bearish). • HH/HL/LL/LH labels narrate market structure shifts for clarity. 4. Set Alerts • Use the built‑in alert conditions to get notified when bullish or bearish sweep reentry triggers fire. 👉 In short: this toolkit helps you spot liquidity sweeps, confirm with ChoCh, and visualize reentry signals, while also narrating market structure pivots. It’s modular, so you can toggle features depending on how much visual clutter you want. 🛠 Workflow Example 1. Setup • Apply the script to your chart (e.g., 5‑minute S&P futures). • In the indicator settings, decide which visuals you want: • Turn on Sweep + ChoCh labels if you want to see gold tags narrating liquidity events. • Keep Entry triangles on to highlight actionable reentry points. • Adjust the Label Transparency slider so HH/HL/LL/LH structure labels are dim enough not to clutter. 2. Watch for Sweeps • As price pushes above recent highs → a Buy‑side Sweep is detected. • As price dips below recent lows → a Sell‑side Sweep is detected. • If ChoCh logic is true at the same time, you’ll see a gold label (“BS Sweep + ChoCh” or “SS Sweep + ChoCh”). 3. Confirm Reentry • If conditions align (bullish candle + buy‑side sweep + ChoCh), you’ll see a green triangle below the bar. • If bearish candle + sell‑side sweep + ChoCh, you’ll see a red triangle above the bar. • These triangles are your potential reentry triggers. 4. Narrate Market Structure • HH/HL/LL/LH labels appear at pivots, giving you a running commentary of structure shifts. • Example: HH → HL → HH shows bullish continuation; LH → LL → LH shows bearish pressure. • Use the transparency slider to keep these labels subtle but visible. 5. Alerts • Set alerts for “Bullish Sweep Reentry” or “Bearish Sweep Reentry” so you don’t miss signals even if you’re away from the screen. 📘 How to Use in Practice • Intraday trading: On a 5‑minute chart, use the toolkit to spot liquidity grabs and confirm reentry points. • Narration: The HH/HL/LL/LH labels help you keep track of structure without manually marking pivots. • Decision making: Gold labels + triangles = potential trade setups. Structure labels = context for trend bias. • Customization: Dim labels when you want a cleaner chart, brighten them when you’re focused on structure. 👉 In short: this script gives you a modular toolkit — sweeps, ChoCh confirmation, reentry signals, and structure narration — all adjustable so you can tailor the visuals to your workflow. 📈 Bullish Scenario Walkthrough 1. Market Context • You’re watching the 5‑minute chart. • Price has been consolidating near recent highs, building liquidity above. 2. Liquidity Sweep • Price spikes above the prior swing high → the script detects a buy‑side sweep. • A gold label appears: “BS Sweep + ChoCh” (if your ChoCh condition is true). 3. Change of Character (ChoCh) • The candle closes bullish (). • Your ChoCh condition confirms a structural shift. • Together, sweep + ChoCh = potential reentry setup. 4. Reentry Trigger • The script plots a green triangle below the bar. • This marks a bullish sweep reentry signal: price grabbed liquidity and is now showing strength. 5. Market Structure Narration • At the same time, the HH/HL labels update: • The sweep bar prints a new HH. • The next pivot low prints an HL. • This narrates bullish continuation: HH → HL → HH. 6. Trade Decision • You can use the green triangle as your entry cue. • The HH/HL narration gives you confidence that structure supports the trade. • Alerts can be set so you don’t miss the trigger. 7. Risk Management • Stop placement: below the HL pivot or sweep low. • Target: next liquidity pool above, or measured move. 🧭 How to Use This in Practice • Gold label = liquidity event + ChoCh confirmation. • Green triangle = actionable bullish reentry trigger. • HH/HL narration = context for trend bias and trade management. • Transparency slider = keep structure labels subtle so the chart stays clean. 📉 Bearish Scenario Walkthrough 1. Market Context • You’re watching the 5‑minute chart. • Price has been consolidating near recent lows, building liquidity underneath. 2. Liquidity Sweep • Price spikes below the prior swing low → the script detects a sell‑side sweep. • A gold label appears: “SS Sweep + ChoCh” (if your ChoCh condition is true). 3. Change of Character (ChoCh) • The candle closes bearish (). • Your ChoCh condition confirms a structural shift. • Together, sweep + ChoCh = potential bearish reentry setup. 4. Reentry Trigger • The script plots a red triangle above the bar. • This marks a bearish sweep reentry signal: price grabbed liquidity below and is now showing weakness. 5. Market Structure Narration • At the same time, the LH/LL labels update: • The sweep bar prints a new LL. • The next pivot high prints a LH. • This narrates bearish continuation: LH → LL → LH. 6. Trade Decision • You can use the red triangle as your entry cue. • The LH/LL narration gives you confidence that structure supports the short. • Alerts can be set so you don’t miss the trigger. 7. Risk Management • Stop placement: above the LH pivot or sweep high. • Target: next liquidity pool below, or measured move. 🧭 How to Use This in Practice • Gold label = liquidity event + ChoCh confirmation. • Red triangle = actionable bearish reentry trigger. • LH/LL narration = context for trend bias and trade management. • Transparency slider = keep structure labels subtle so the chart stays clean.

Kinetic RSI [Vel + Accel] + AlertsThe Problem with Standard RSI Most traders use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to see if a market is "Overbought" (above 70) or "Oversold" (below 30). The problem? A strong trend can stay overbought for days, burning short sellers, or an asset can stay oversold while price continues to crash. Standard RSI tells you where the price is, but it doesn't tell you how hard it is moving. ​The Solution: Kinetic RSI This script reimagines RSI by applying basic physics concepts: Velocity and Acceleration. Instead of asking "Is RSI below 30?", this indicator asks: "Is RSI below 35 AND did it just make a violent, high-speed turn upwards?" ​It filters out lazy, drifting price action and only signals when momentum is accelerating in a new direction. ​How It Works (The Math) ​Velocity: We calculate the speed of the RSI change (Current RSI - Previous RSI). ​Acceleration: We calculate if that speed is increasing (Current Velocity - Previous Velocity). ​The Trigger: A signal is only generated if the RSI is in an extreme zone (<35 or >65) AND it has high Velocity AND positive Acceleration. ​How to Trade It ​1. The "Kick" Signals (Background Highlights) ​🟢 Green Background (Bullish Kick): The RSI was low, but buyers stepped in aggressively. The momentum is not just positive; it is accelerating upward. This is often a "V-Bottom" catch. ​🔴 Red Background (Bearish Kick): The RSI was high, but sellers slammed the price down. Momentum is accelerating downward. ​2. The Line Color ​Lime Line: Velocity is positive (Momentum is rising). ​Fuchsia Line: Velocity is negative (Momentum is falling). ​Usage: If the background flashes Green (Buy Signal), but the line turns back to Fuchsia (Red) a few bars later, the move has failed—exit the trade. ​Settings & Alerts ​RSI Length: Standard 14 (Adjustable). ​Velocity Threshold: Controls sensitivity. ​Lower (e.g., 2-3): More signals, catches smaller reversals. ​Higher (e.g., 5+): Fewer signals, catches only massive "shocks" to the price. ​Alerts Included: You can set alerts for "Bullish Kick," "Bearish Kick," or "Any Kick" to get notified of volatility spikes. ​Best Practices ​Wait for the Close: This indicator measures the closing velocity. Always wait for the bar to close to confirm the background color signal. ​Trend Filtering: This works best as a "Reversal" indicator. If the market is in a super-strong uptrend, ignore the Bearish (Red) signals and only take the Bullish (Green) dips.

MP SESSIONS, DST, OTTHere’s a clear description you can use for this script (for yourself or as a TradingView “Indicator Description”): --- ### MP SESSIONS, DST, OTT – What this indicator does This script is a **multi-session market timing tool** that: 1. **Draws full trading sessions on the chart** (Asia, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Europe, London, New York, NYSE) 2. **Automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time (DST)** for Sydney, London, and New York 3. **Shows a live info table** with session times, DST status, and whether each session is currently open or closed 4. **Adds optional custom “OTT” vertical lines** at user-defined intraday times (for your own models, killzones, or time blocks) --- ### Main Features (high level) #### 1. Market mode & time zone handling * **Market Mode**: * `Forex` * `Stock` * `User Custom` (you type your own session ranges) * `TFlab suggestion` (predefined “optimized” session times) * **Time Zone Mode**: * `UTC` * `Session Local Time` (local exchange time: Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York etc.) * `Your Time Zone` (converts to the user-selected TZ, e.g. `UTC-4:00`) * Handles separate time zones for: * Asia, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Europe, London, New York, NYSE * Has logic to **recalculate session start/end depending on DST** and the chosen mode. --- #### 2. Daylight Saving Time (DST) engine The function `DST_Detector`: * Calculates when DST **starts and ends** for: * `Australia/Sydney` * `Europe/London` * `America/New_York` * Detects the correct Sunday (2nd, 4th, etc.) for start/end using day-of-week and week counts. * Returns `'Active'` or `'Inactive'` for each region. * These values are then used to **shift the sessions** (e.g. New York 13:00–21:00 vs 12:00–20:00 in UTC). The script can also **draw vertical lines** on the chart when DST starts/ends and label them: * “Sydney DST Started / Ended” * “London DST Started / Ended” * “New York DST Started / Ended” --- #### 3. Session timing & sessions on the chart The function `Market_TimeZone_Calculator`: * Based on **Market Mode** + **Time Zone Mode** + **DST state**, it returns: * Time ranges for: Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Asia (combined), Europe, London, New York, NYSE * These ranges are in `"HHMM-HHMM"` format. Then the script: * Converts these to `time()` conditions using the proper time zone * Creates boolean series like `On_sesAsia`, `On_sesEurope`, `On_sesNewYork`, etc., which are **1 when the session is open and 0 when closed**. --- #### 4. Session high/low boxes & labels The function `LowHighSessionDetector`: * Tracks **high and low of each session** while it’s active. * When a new session starts: * Resets and starts recording the session high/low. * While session is active: * Updates `High` with the max of current bar high and previous session high. * Updates `Low` with the min of current bar low and previous session low. * When the session is "on": * Draws a **box** from session low to high (`box.new`) and extends it to the right as long as the session continues. * Places a **label with session name** (Asia, London, New York, etc.) near the high: * Style depends on the session (down/right/left). You have visibility toggles per session: * `Asia Session`, `Sydney Session`, `Tokyo Session`, `Shanghai Session`, `Europe Session`, `London Session`, `New York Session`, `NYSE` (for TFlab mode). So you visually see: * A shaded box for each session * The full H/L range for that session * A text label with the session name. --- #### 5. Info table The indicator builds a **table in a corner of the chart** showing: * Header: * “FOREX Session”, “Stock Market Trading Hours”, “User Custom Session”, or “TFlab suggestion” depending on mode. * Columns: 1. Session name (Asia, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Europe, London, New York, NYSE) 2. DST status for that region (“Active 🌞 / Inactive 🍂 / Not Observed”) 3. Session **start time** 4. Session **end time** 5. Current **status** (“Open / Closed”, with green/red background) The function `SplitFunction`: * Parses the `"HHMM-HHMM"` strings for each session. * Converts them into: * Either raw times (if viewing in UTC/session local) * Or converted times in **Your Time Zone** using `timestamp` and `hour/ minute` with `YourTZ`. * Returns formatted `Start` and `End` strings like `9:30`, `13:00`, etc. So the table is effectively a **live session schedule** that: * Auto-adjusts to DST * Can show times in your own time zone * Shows which session is open right now. --- #### 6. OTT vertical lines (custom intraday markers) At the bottom, there is an **OTT section** which lets you draw up to **three sets of vertical lines** at specific times: * Each OTT block has: * Enable toggle (`Enable OTT 1/2/3`) * Start hour & minute * End hour & minute * Color * Global OTT settings: * Line style: `Solid / Dashed / Dotted` * Line width * Toggle: “Show OTT Labels?” Logic: * `is_ott_time()` checks if current bar’s `hour` and `minute` match the OTT input time. * `draw_ott()`: * When the bar time matches, draws a **vertical line** through the candle from low to high (`extend.both`). * Optionally adds a label above the bar, like `"OTT1 Start"`, `"OTT1 End"`, etc. Use cases: * Marking **open/close of your trading session** * Defining **killzones**, news times, or custom model windows * Visual anchors for your intraday routine (NY open, 10 AM candle, etc.) --- ### TL;DR This indicator is a **session toolkit + DST engine + time markers**: * **Visually paints the main global sessions** with boxes and labels. * **Handles DST automatically** for Sydney, London, New York. * **Shows a live table** with session times, DST status, and open/closed status in your time zone. * **Adds up to three configurable vertical time markers (OTT)** for custom session windows or key times. If you want, I can also write a **short version** (2–3 sentences) for the TradingView “Description” field.
