Updated Simple Market Kill-Zones + Open (UTC)
What it does
This Pine v6 indicator highlights the “kill-zones” around the big session opens—Asian (23:00–03:00 UTC), London (07:00–09:00 UTC) and New York (13:30–15:30 UTC)—by reading each bar’s actual UTC timestamp. It also draws dashed vertical lines at exactly 23:00, 07:00 and 13:30 UTC, so you never miss the liquidity ramps. Because it uses raw UTC hours/minutes, it stays accurate even when exchanges pause (e.g. Nano-BTC’s daily halt) or your chart’s display timezone changes.
