Chart Box Session Indicator [The Quant Science]This indicator allows highlighting specific time sessions within a chart by creating colored boxes to represent the price range of the selected session. Is an advanced and flexible tool for chart segmenting trading sessions. Thanks to its extensive customization options and advanced visualization features, it allows traders to gain a clear representation of key market areas based on chosen time intervals.
The indicator offers two range calculation modes:
Body to Body: considers the range between the opening and closing price.
Wick to Wick: considers the range between the session's low and high.
Body To Body
Wick to Wick
Key Features
1. Session Configuration
- Users can select the time range of the session of interest.
- Option to choose the day of the week for the calculation.
- Supports UTC timezone selection to correctly align data.
2. Customizable Visualization
- Option to display session price lines.
- Ability to show a central price line.
- Extension of session lines beyond the specified duration.
3. Design Display Configuration
- Three different background configurations to suit light and dark themes.
- Two gradient modes for session coloring:
- Centered: the color is evenly distributed.
- Off-Centered: the gradient is asymmetrical.
How It Works
The indicator determines whether the current time falls within the selected session, creating a colored box that highlights the corresponding price range. Depending on user preferences, the indicator draws horizontal lines at the minimum and maximum price levels and, optionally, a central line.
During the session:
- The lowest and highest session prices are dynamically updated.
- The range is divided into 10 bands to create a gradient effect.
- A colored box is generated to visually highlight the chosen session.
If the Extend Lines option is enabled, price lines continue even after the session ends, keeping the range visible for further analysis.
This indicator is useful for traders who want to analyze price behavior in specific timeframes. It is particularly beneficial for strategies based on market sessions (e.g., London or New York open) or for identifying accumulation and distribution zones.

Color candle by time
This indicator, written in Pine Script v5, allows you to highlight candles (using a user-selected color) that fall within a user-defined time range. Candles outside this range maintain their original appearance.
How it Works and Key Benefits:
- Time Interval Customization: By specifying start and end hours/minutes, you can emphasize only the desired market session.
- Choice of Preferred Color: The body, wicks, and borders of the candles within the selected range are uniformly colored, based on the user’s chosen tone.
- Enhanced Focus on Price Action: By focusing on the most relevant trading hours, your analysis becomes more streamlined and intuitive, without altering the rest of the session’s candle appearance.
!! DO NOT FORGET TO SELECT THE OPTION: 'BRING TO FRONT' IN THE INDICATOR'S VISUAL ORDER !!
Time Bound Trading SessionsTime Bound Trading Sessions allows to add time bound conditions to your trading sessions given a date range , a time range and/or days of the week .
This indicator can be very handy if you want to control your trading sessions along those three time boundaries, applying them together and/or separately.
Feel free to reuse this code in your own strategy, and leverage the inSession condition as needed.

Open RangeThis is a simple script that will look back a set number of candles at a specified time (example: Ny Open) and find the "High and Low " of the range/ market in the given look back period. It will then draw two lines and the range zone as a box. Breakout traders can use these levels to help find interesting areas for a breakout. Reversal traders can use these levels to help locate false breakouts.
Simple type in your time zone Example: GMT-4
Set the time you want the indicator to draw the start line Example: 8:30am
then set the candle look back Example: 60
Hope this script helps spark some ideas
Happy trading
Session Time RangesHave you ever wondered if you are trading at the right time of the day or feel like all the good trades happen when you are sleeping? Well now you can check your theory :)
This Script allows you to highlight a time range on your chart over a 24hour time period. For example 3AM to 6AM
The script has two time variables, set your start time and end time based on a 24 hour clock and set the time zone offset variable to match your charts time zone. For example New York -4 (for utc just enter 0 for no offset )
This is a quick script I put together so hopefully it is error free enjoy :)
