OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Custom Time Alert with Vertical Line

📌 Detailed Explanation of the Custom Time Alert with Vertical Line in Pine Script v5
This script is a time-based alert system designed for TradingView. It allows traders to set a specific hour and minute for alerts and provides visual indicators on the chart, including a marker when the alert triggers and a vertical line at the alert time.
🔹 Main Features
Custom Alert Time → Users can specify the exact hour and minute for an alert.
Time Zone Offset Support → Users can manually adjust their local UTC offset to ensure alerts trigger at the correct time.
Real-Time Alert Condition → When the market reaches the set time, an alert notification is triggered.
Chart Visualization → A red marker appears when the alert is activated, and a blue vertical line is drawn at the alert time.
Automated Calculation → The script adjusts the alert time based on the user’s time zone settings.
🛠️ How It Works
User Input for Alert Time
The script allows users to enter their desired alert hour (0-23) and minute (0-59).
This ensures the alert triggers at the exact specified time.
Time Zone Offset Handling
Users enter their UTC offset (e.g., New York is -5, Tokyo is +9).
This ensures alerts work correctly regardless of the user’s location.
Time Calculation
The script adjusts the TradingView time by adding the time zone offset in milliseconds.
This converts the UTC-based TradingView time into the user’s local time.
Checking for a Time Match
The script constantly checks if the current hour and minute match the user-defined alert time.
If they match, the script activates an alert.
Triggering Alerts
The script uses TradingView’s alertcondition() function to create an alert.
When the time matches, TradingView sends a notification (e.g., pop-up, sound, or mobile alert).
Chart Markers for Visual Alerts
A red marker is displayed on the chart when the alert triggers.
A blue vertical line is drawn at the exact alert time.
