TWP Chart Period Breaks

█ OVERVIEW

This script plots historical and one future vertical line at the higher timeframe.period time mark of your choosing along with the ability to create alerts that ping on the opening of the new bar on the timeframe and during the market session that you have selected. This script adds body to the default "session breaks" that Tradingview provides within the chart settings. It can be a hassle visually keeping track of time when trading but particularly when day trading. Timing is so important and I needed some visual assistance aka some guard rails for my mind to operate in, in order to better execute my trades. I hope this helps you too.

█ CONCEPTS

The script takes some simple steps to plot vertical lines onto your chart with some extra goodies to go the extra yard.
