Timezone
CME Trading Hours HighlightDisplay the times when the CME is or isn't trading, on a non-CME symbol.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange hours are usually from 17:00 one day to 16:00 the next, with an hour's break. Trading halts from Friday evening to Sunday evening. The exchange is in Chicago.
You might want to display these hours if you trade the same asset on a different exchange. For example, you might want to overlay the CME BTC1! hours on a Coinbase BTC chart to see how trading in these futures contracts affects the market.
Inputs:
Shade Outside Trading Hours - If selected (the default), then the chart background is shaded when the CME is closed. If unselected, the background is shaded when it's open.
Highlight Color - The colour to use for the background shade.
Just for fun, I wanted to publish a useful script that only took up one line 😁
CANDLE STICK HEATMAPCANDLE STICK HEATMAP shows the statistics of a candle at a particular time. its very useful to find repeating pattern's at a particular time in a day.
based on the settings you can see regular repeating patterns of a day in an hourly chart. During a particular time in day there is always a down or up signal or candles.
The table boxes are candles in RED and GREEN based on open and close of the chart. The Heat map is very useful in analyzing the daily Hourly candlesticks in a week. The Time of each candlestick is plotted on the table along with default Indicators like RSI, MACD, EMA, VOLUME, ADX.
Additionally this can be used as a screener of candles on all timeframes. Analysis is easy when you want to see what happened exactly at a particular time in the previous hour, day, month etc.,
Hopefully additional updates will be introduced shortly.
Indicators:
1. MACD (close,12,26,9)
2.RSI (close,14)
3.EMA 200
3.Volume MA
Option is provided to show indicator statistics and time.
Color can be changed using settings.
Supports all Time Zones
Opening Range with FibsThe indicator uses a time range and another instrument for time reference, so that it works in the time zone you care about. I have set the default to SPX500USD since it is in EST ( SPX , ES and many futures are on Chicago time and opening range gets confused). You can change the reference instrument in the settings.
You can also change the multipliers and use other values instead of 1.272 and 1.618 for Fib extensions.
TradingView has a limit as to how many objects an indicator can create so if you want to go back further for visual backtesting - use the replay tool - it will be able to draw up to the time you selected within its limits.
Let me know if you need anything else...
Happy Trading!
Time of Day - Volatility Report█ OVERVIEW
The indicator analyses the volatility and reports statistics by the time of day.
█ CONCEPTS
Around the world and at various times, different market participants get involved in the markets. How does this affect the market?
Knowing this gets you better prepared and improves your trading. Here are some ideas to explore:
When is the market busy and quiet?
What time is it the most volatile?
Which pairs in your watchlist are moving while you are actively trading?
Should you adjust your trading time? Should you change your trading pairs?
When does your strategy perform the best?
What entry times do your winners have in common? What about the exit times of your losers?
Is it worth keeping your trade open overnight?
Bitcoin (UTC+0)
Gold (UTC+0)
Tesla, Inc. (UTC+0)
█ FEATURES
Selectable time zones
Display the statistics in your geographical time zone (or other market participants), the exchange time zone, or UTC+0.
Configurable outputs
Output the report statistics as mean or median.
█ HOW TO USE
Plot the indicator and visit the 1H timeframe.
█ NOTES
Gaps
The indicator includes the volatility from gaps.
Calculation
The statistics are not reported from absolute prices (does not favor trending markets) nor percentage prices (does not depict the different periods of volatility that markets can go through). Instead, the script uses the prices relative to the average range of previous days (daily ATR).
Extended trading session
The script analyses extended hours when activated on the chart.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
The exchange time or geographical time zone selected may observe Daylight Saving Time. For example, NASDAQ:TSLA always opens at 9:30 AM New York time but may see different opening times in another part of the globe (New York time corresponds to UTC-4 and UTC-5 during the year).
Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute

Trading SessionsThis indicator has the following base features:
Plots the session breaks of the Tokyo, London, and New York trading hours.
Plots the lunch break locations of the Tokyo session.
Plots the previous closes at the end of the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. The New York previous close can optionally use the settlement close value from the exchange.
Plots a countdown and time location of the next session open and close for the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions.
By default, all sessions are prescribed in their local time zone. Daylight savings time is also accounted for. This makes the plots operate as expected no matter what your own local time zone setting is in Trading View.
Market Trading Sessions (TG Fork)Visualize trading sessions opening hours of several international exchanges on a grid. Contrary to other indicators, this one automatically aligns the session with the current chart's timezone.
This is helpful for bar replay or manual backtesting, to spot patterns of correlations (this can also be used in conjunction with correlation indicators, see my other indicators).
Original indicator by Gunzo, if you like this indicator, please show the original author some love:
This indicator is also inspired by the following indicators:

UnknownUnicorn468659 with
This fork implements the following features:
Converted to PineScript v5.
Adapted default color palette to dark mode, as is the default in TradingView now.
Fix drawing issues, now the design shows as it was originally meant to be.
Fixed mistiming issue that made some sessions display with a delay compared to the real session, especially the first session was bar at the start of the session was not displayed.
Inputted the accurate timings for each session, instead of the default 0800-1600 in the original indicator.
Essentially, you can just add this indicator and it should work out of the box. If not, please let me know, and I'll try to fix it!
TCI (TimeZonesIndicator)Problem & Trading Relevance
When people and especially investors and traders wake up, they will very likely check the crypto markets if they are invested. Thus higher volatility can be expected during this time. Also during the opening hours of the stock exchanges higher volatility can be expected.
For people who are checking their crypto portfolio on a daily base and be following the charts, this indicator highlights maybe the most important times of the day.
Implementation
Wake up times are considered as 0700-0900. Stock Exchange hours are considered to be 0900-1000. The daylight saving times are automaticly considered.
Personal comment

For now, you can't change the time, only the design.
AltSessionHello World
It’s no secret that trading sessions play a massive role in market movement and liquidity. We can clearly see in the image about how important identifying international trading hours are for a trader.
The Asian session starts around 1am GMT and often has a bearish bias through this session lasting for a few hours, after which Frankfurt and London traders start to come online and can often reverse the Asian sentiment.
The London session is the best session to trade traditionally starting around 7am GMT before the American traders come online and reverse market once again.
We have designed this indicator to help identify different trading hours easily with a background shade on the chart and also high/lows of the training session, as these levels can often be revisited.
We hope you find this indicator useful and please feel free to drop a comment if you have any updates you wish to be made or any future indicator script ideas, thank you.
Time Session Filter - Visual Only - @Davi117 Simple visual adjustable time filter to highlight certain times of the day.
For instance if you only trade between 06:00 and 10:00 etc.
Includes Time Zone Selector using GMT
E.g if you live in London then you time zone will be just GMT, else if you live in Paris it would be GMT+1.
Ensure Trading View's time zone selection in the bottom right to the left of the Auto Scale toggle, is also set also set to your time zone, else it will be misaligned.
How To Calculate Symbol's UTC NumberVarious methods to calculate a symbol's timezone offset as a numerical value in hours and decimal minutes. This value may be useful to script authors in certain situations where timezone information needs to be available in a numerical format while using intraday charts.

Initial Balance Monitoring PanelInitial Balance Monitoring Panel
Allows you to have an instant view of 16 Crypto pairs within a monitoring panel, monitoring Initial Balance (Asia, London, New York Stock Exchanges).
The code can easily be changed to suit the crypto pairs you are trading.
The setup of my chart would also include this indicator and the " Initial Balance Markets Time Zones - Overall Highest and Lowest " (with all IBs enabled) as shown above.
Initial Balance is based on the highest and lowest price action within the first 60 minutes of trading. Reading online this can depict which way the market can trend for the session.
The indicator has been coded for Crypto (so other symbols may not work as expected).
Though Initial Balance is based off the first 60 minutes of the trading markets opening, but Crypto is 24/7, this indicator looks at how Asia, London and New York Stock Exchanges opening trading can affect Crypto price action.
As the current Market sentiment is bullish if the price action fell below all Initial balances I would be looking at completing Technical Analysis for a long trade and to see if price action can find support from the trading sessions Initial Balance:
Please see below an example of this....
IOTAUSDT signaled red (that it had dropped below all IBs) but then found support and moved on up.
Also a similar example as above for BTCUSDT....
If the signal is green do your technical analysis, but as shown below once the highest Initial Balance has been broken price can increase.
LINKLUSDT
I would like to say thanks to AnyDozer from StackOverFlow for helping me get my idea onto the charts and wugamlo for allowing me to use some of his panel code.
Initial Balance Markets Time Zones - Overall Highest and LowestInitial Balance Market Time Zones - Overall Highest and Lowest is an modified version of my previous script.
The aim was to show a cleaner screen by only displaying the highest and lowest Initial Balances from London, New York and Asia.
The below options are within the settings.
No.01
Price Action above all Initial Balances high = Green
Price Action below all Initial Balances low = Red
These are accompanied with alerts
No.02
Price Action above Midline = Green
Price Action below Midline = Red
These are accompanied with alerts
You also have the option to display all the Initial Balances within the settings.
