A Professional Intraday Session Tracker with VWAP and Economic Event Integration

Description
This indicator provides visual tracking of major trading sessions (Asian, London, New York) combined with VWAP calculations and macroeconomic event zones. It's designed for intraday traders who need to monitor session overlaps, liquidity periods, and high-impact news events.
The basic script of trading sessions was taken as a basis and refined for greater convenience.
Key Features:

• Customizable Session Tracking: Visualize up to 3 trading sessions with adjustable time zones (supports IANA & GMT formats)
  
• Dynamic VWAP Integration: Built-in Volume-Weighted Average Price calculation
  
• Macro Event Zones: Highlights key economic announcement windows (adjustable for summer/winter time)
  
• Price Action Visualization: Displays open/close prices, session ranges, and average price levels
  
• Automatic DST Adjustment: Uses IANA timezone database for daylight savings awareness
  

How It Works
1. Trading Session Detection

• Three fully configurable sessions (e.g., Asia, London, New York)
  
• Each session displays:
  
• Colored background zone
  
• Opening price (dashed line)
  
• Closing price (dashed line)
  
• Average price (dotted line)
  
• Optional label with session name
  

2. VWAP Calculation

• Standard Volume-Weighted Average Price plotted as circled line
  
• Helps identify fair value within each session
  

3. Macro Event Zones

• Special highlighted period for economic news releases
  
• Automatically adjusts for summer/winter time
  
• Default set to 1000-1200 (summer) or 0900-1100 (winter) GMT-5 (US session open)
  

Why This Indicator is Unique

Multi-Session Awareness

• Unlike simple session indicators, this tool:
  
• Tracks price development within each session
  
• Shows session overlaps (critical for volatility periods)
  
• Maintains separate VWAP calculations across sessions
  

Professional-Grade Features

• IANA timezone support (automatic DST handling)
  
• Customizable visual elements (toggle labels, ranges, averages)
  
• Object-based architecture (clean, efficient rendering)
  
• News event integration (helps avoid trading during high-impact releases)
  

Usage Recommendations

Best Timeframes

• 1-minute to 1-hour charts (intraday focus)
  
• Not recommended for daily+ timeframes
  

Trading Applications
1. Session Breakout Strategy: Trade breakouts when London/New York sessions open
2. VWAP Reversion: Fade moves that deviate too far from VWAP
3. News Avoidance: Reduce position sizing during macro event windows
