OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Updated Your trading time period background fill
This script allows you to add background highlights to charts during any regional trading session, customize your own trading time, and is precise and customizable yet simple and easy to use, making it more convenient to review transactions.
Support global mainstream time zones: The drop-down list includes 30 commonly used IANA time zones (default is Asia/Shanghai) (such as Asia/Shanghai, America/New_York, Europe/London, etc.), one-click switching, no need to manually calculate the time difference.
Fully localized time input: "Start hour/minute" and "End hour/minute" are filled in with the local time of the selected time zone. The end hour defaults to 23:00 and can be adjusted to 0-23 at will.
Accurate time difference splitting: The script internally splits the time zone offset into whole hours and remainder minutes (supports half-hour zones, such as UTC+5:30), and ensures that all parameters are integers when calling timestamp to avoid errors.
Dynamic background rendering: Each K-line is judged according to the UTC timestamp whether it falls within the set range. If it meets the time period, it will be marked with a semi-transparent green background, and it will return to its original state after crossing the time period, helping you to identify the opening, closing or active period of any market at a glance.
Wide range of scenarios: It can be used for time-sharing highlighting of all-weather varieties of foreign exchange and cryptocurrency, and can also be used in conjunction with backtesting and timing strategies to only send signals during the active period of the target market, greatly improving trading efficiency and strategy accuracy.
Just select the region and set the time, and the script will automatically complete all complex time zone conversions and drawing, allowing you to focus on the transaction itself.
