Dividers Timeframe/Session/Calendar-Based [ARTech]Dividers Timeframe/Session/Calendar-Based
This indicator provides customizable visual dividers for multiple timeframes, trading sessions, and calendar-based periods (daily, weekly, monthly). It helps traders visually separate chart areas by key time boundaries without cluttering the chart with price lines.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Dividers: Select up to 4 timeframes (e.g., 60 min, 4 hours, daily, weekly) to display customizable lines marking the start of each timeframe’s candle.
Session Dividers: Define up to 4 trading sessions with user-defined time zones, colors, and active weekdays.

███████ Timeframe ███████
Use this section to display vertical divider lines at the opening of higher timeframe candles (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly). This helps visually separate price action according to larger market structures.
1. Enable a Timeframe:
Turn on one or more timeframes (e.g., 60, 240, D, W) by checking their respective toggle boxes.
2. Lines Mark Candle Opens:
Each active timeframe will draw a vertical line at the start of its candle , making it easier to align intraday moves with larger timeframe shifts.
3. Customize Line Style:
For each timeframe, you can individually set:
Line Style: Solid, dashed, or dotted.
Line Width: From 1 to 10 pixels.
Line Color: Pick any color to match your chart theme.
Opacity: Use transparent colors to avoid overwhelming the chart.
4. Use Multiple Timeframes Together:
You can enable multiple timeframe dividers simultaneously. To maintain clarity:
Use distinct colors for each timeframe.
Use thinner or dotted lines for lower timeframes and bolder lines for higher ones.
Match line style and color intensity to reflect timeframe importance. (e.g., a thick green solid line for Weekly, a thin gray dotted line for 1H)
5. Visual Tip:
These dividers are especially useful for identifying higher timeframe candle opens during intraday trading, spotting breaks above/below previous candle ranges, or aligning session-based strategies with higher timeframe trends.
███████ Session ███████
Use this section to visually highlight specific trading sessions (e.g., London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney) on your chart using time zones, session ranges, and optional weekday filters. This helps focus your analysis on active market hours.
1. Enable a Session:
Activate up to 4 separate trading sessions. Each session can be named (e.g., "London") and customized independently.
2. Set Session Time and Days:
Define session time using the hhmm-hhmm format. (e.g., 0800-1700)
Select which days of the week the session applies to (Sunday through Saturday)
Set your preferred time zone (UTC, Exchange, etc.) from the global settings.
3. Session Box Drawing:
For each active session, the indicator will:
Draw a background-colored box from the session’s start to end time.
Stretch the box to fit the highest and lowest price within that time window.
Draw an outline using customizable border style and width.
4. Session Labels and Directional Hints:
Optionally display the session’s name as a label.
The indicator compares the session’s opening and closing prices . Based on the result:
📈 Green emoji shows a bullish session (close >= open)
📉 Red emoji shows a bearish session (close < open)
5. Display Options:
Show all sessions, only the last session, or a specific number of previous sessions.
Customize label size, location (top/bottom), and whether it appears inside or outside the box.
Adjust background opacity to blend the sessions neatly into your chart.
6. Visual Tip:
Session boxes are particularly useful for:
Spotting repeated highs/lows during active trading hours.
Recognizing session-based breakouts or consolidations.
Comparing performance across different markets and time zones.
███████ Calendar-Based ███████
This section helps you visually segment your chart based on calendar periods: daily, weekly, and monthly. You can enable background color highlighting for individual days, weeks, or months to better track price movements within these time frames.
1. Enable Daily, Weekly, or Monthly Highlighting:
Toggle on the options for Daily, Weekly, and/or Monthly highlighting according to your needs.
2. Select Specific Days, Weeks, or Months:
For Daily, enable any combination of days (up to 7) to color-code.
For Weekly, enable up to 5 weeks per month to cover partial weeks.
For Monthly, enable up to 12 months with individual toggles and colors.
3. Customize Colors for Each Period:
Assign distinct colors to each day, week, or month for easy differentiation. Choose hues that stand out but avoid colors that are too close in tone for adjacent periods.
4. Background Opacity:
Adjust the opacity level of the background coloring to ensure it complements your chart without obscuring price data.
5. Handling Partial Weeks and Overlaps:
The weekly highlighting accounts for months that span 4 to 6 weeks by allowing toggles up to 5 weeks, including weeks that may partially overlap with previous or next months.
6. Visual Tip:
Calendar-based backgrounds are excellent for:
Quickly identifying price behavior within specific calendar units.
Comparing price action across days, weeks, or months.
Spotting seasonal trends or recurring patterns tied to calendar cycles.

Weekly Stacked Daily Changes [LuxAlgo]The Weekly Stacked Daily Changes tool allows traders to compare daily net price changes for each day of the week, stacked by week. It provides a very convenient way to compare daily and weekly volatility at the same time.
🔶 USAGE
The tool requires no configuration and works perfectly out of the box, displaying the net price change for each day of the week as stacked boxes of the appropriate size.
Traders can adjust the width of the columns and the spacing between days and weeks, options to change the color and disable the months and new month lines are also available.
🔹 Bottom Stack Bias
This feature allows traders to compare weekly volatility in two different ways.
With this feature disabled, all weeks use zero as the bottom of the stack, so traders can see at a glance weeks with more volatility and weeks with less volatility.
Enabling this feature will cause the tool to display the stacks with the weekly net price change as the bottom, so if a stack starts below the zero line it means that week has a negative net return, and if it starts above the zero line it means that week has a positive net return.
🔶 SETTINGS
Width: Select the fixed width for each column.
Offset: Choose the fixed width between each column.
Spacing: Select the distance between each day within each column.
🔹 Style
Bottom Stack Bias: Use weekly net price change as the bottom of the stack.
Bullish Change: Color for days with positive net price change
Bearish Change: Color for days with negative net price change
Show Months: Under each week stack, display the month
Show Months Delimiter: Display a line indicating the start of a new month
Volume CalendarDescription:
The indicator displays a calendar with Volume data for up to 6 last months. It is designed to work on any timeframe, but works best on Daily and below. It is also consistent in that it displays the same data even if you go to lower timeframes like 5 minutes (even though the data is used is Daily).
Features:
- displays volume data for last N months (volume, volume change, % of weekly, monthly and yearly volume)
- display total volume for each month
- display monthly sentiment
- find dates with volume spikes
Inputs:
- Number of months -> how many last months of data to display (from 1 to 6)
- Volume Type -> display only Bullish, only Bearish or all volume
- Cell color is based on -> Volume - the brighter the cell the higher volume was on that day; Volume Change - the brighter the cell the higher was the volume change that day; Volume Spike - the brighter the cell the higher was volume spike that day (volume spike is based on volume being above its average over last N candles)
- Cell color timeframe -> Weekly - the cell color is calculated comparing volume of that cell with weekly volume; Monthly - comparing volume with monthly volume
- Use volume for sentiment -> take the volume into account when calculating monthly sentiment (otherwise calculate it based on number of Bullish and Bearish days in the month)
- Spike Average Period -> period of the moving average used for spike calculation
- Spike Threshold -> current volume must be this many times greater than the average for it to be considered a spike
- Table Size -> size of the table
- Theme -> colouring of the table
Economic Calendar EventsThis indicator provides an overlay of Events on the main chart, where each Event is visually represented by a Label and vertical Line, placed at the specified time interval for each Event.
Events are defined by user data as an input string on the settings widget panel for the indicator. The event data is a string (semicolon delimited) whose grammar is a representation of a collection of Event records, where each Event record is a comma-separated list of fields, which correspond to:
The name of the event.
The symbol or ticker to which the Event applies (or `*` if it should apply to all ticklers).
The timezone and then the year, month, day, hour, and minute of the event, respectively.
Each Event record is separated by the semicolon ";" character.
As an example , assume `evantData` is the string:
"SVB,*,UTC,2023,03,10,00,00;US CPI,*,UTC,2023,04,12,08,30;ETH Shanghai,ETHUSD,UTC,2023,04,12,08,30"
In the above case, there are 4 Events defined, three of which apply to all tickers and one applies only to ETHUSD, as follows:
The first event is named SVB and applies to all tickers at UTC time on March 10, 2023 at 12:00:00.
The second event is named US CPI and applies to all tickers at UTC time on April 12, 2023 at 08:30:00.
The third event is named ETH Shanghai and applies to the ETHUSD ticker at UTC time on April 12, 2023 at 08:30:00.
The fourth event is named FOMC Rates and applies to all tickers at UTC time on May 3, 2023 at 14:00:00.
The following is a BNF for defining event data:
market-events ::= event-record | event-record ";" market-events
event-record ::= event-name "," ticker ”,” event-timezone "," event-time
event-name ::= string
event-time>::= year "," month "," day "," hour "," minute
event-timezone ::= string
ticker ::= "*" | string
string ::= +
year ::= {4}
month ::= {2}
day ::= {2}
hour ::= {2}
minute ::= {2}

Buy Sell Calendar [LuxAlgo]The Buy Sell Calendar indicator displays a calendar showing the sentiment for the current day/month. Three different methods can be used to determine this sentiment.
The calendar can also highlight the percentage of bullish days/months for a month/year.
🔶 SETTINGS
Frequency: Calendar frequency, options include "Daily" and "Monthly"
Sentiment Method: Method used to determine the sentiment for the day/month, options include: "Linreg", "Accumulated Deltas", and "Max/Min"
Timezone Offset: UTC time zone offset.
Limit Date: Limit date used by the calendar, the sentiment of days/months outside this limit will not be returned.
🔹 Calendar
Show Calendar: Determines whether to display or hide the calendar.
Location: Location of the calendar on the chart.
Size: Calendar size.
🔶 USAGE
The proposed script can allow users to quickly determine if a specific day/month is considered bullish or bearish. A green cell is used for bullish days/months, while a red one is used for bearish days/months.
Additionally vertical lines are displayed on new days/months with a color highlighting the current sentiment for this specific day/month. Note that this is done retrospectively, the color of a line set at time t might differ at time t+n .
🔶 SENTIMENT METHODS
Determining whether a day/month is bullish or bearish can be done using three different methods. Note that each method makes use of the closing price as the input, and as such can eventually return different results depending on the selected timeframe. Each method is described below:
🔹 Linreg
The Linreg method fit lines between each day/month using the method of least squares and determines if that particular day is bullish or bearish based on the line slope sign. For example, a rising line would indicate a bullish day/month.
🔹 Accumulated Deltas
The method of accumulated deltas simply accumulates bullish and bearish price changes for the current day/month, the result with the highest magnitude determines the sentiment for that day/month.
🔹 Max/Min
The max/min method computes a trailing maximum and a trailing minimum for the current day/month. The sentiment is determined by the price position relative to the average between the obtained maximum/minimum, with a bullish sentiment being determined if price is above the average.

Fed and ECB Calendar by KziHello traders,
Here is a script that i've done for testing the timestamp and the input.time fonction.
You can see verticals lines blue and yellow.
The blue are the ECB meeting date (7 dates)
The yellow are the FED meeting date. (10 Dates)
// In the parameter you can enter the next rolling month date for ECB and FED
// I don't figure out how to add label / Txt on the lines
// And be carreful i don't put the real hours of the meeting.
Quantitative Easing DatesThis indicator shows the beginning and the end of quantitative easing policy.
vx_termsUSAGE
--------
This script helps train your intuition for changes in the VX term structure. I recommend using it on the VIX chart, so you can compare changes in the terms to changes in VIX. It's also nice for calendar spread traders who want to get a feel for the same changes.
1. Select a day, month, and year using the inputs
2. Observe the data table.
3. Open the input again and increment or decrement the day (and month, year as necessary).
4. Click "Ok".
5. Click to deselect the indicator, which allows the chart to load new data.
6. The data table will be reloaded with the next/previous day's data.
The data table has the following columns:
- contract: the VX contracts, in sequence. refer to the CBOE for month codes (F for January, etc.)
- close: the closing price of the contract.
- ma:mb: the spread (difference) between this row and the next row.
- ma:mb chg: the spread's change from prior close.
For example, given the following values for the first two columns:
VXQ2021, 16.5, -3.1, -0.2
VXU2021, 19.6, ..., ...
The front month (Q = august) closed at 16.5, $3.1 below the s\September contract. The negative spread enlarged by $0.20 from $2.90 on the previous trading day.
BUGS, ODDITIES, AND LIMITATIONS:
-------------------------------------------
- The first column will be greyed out after expiration day, which is the 3rd Tuesday of that month. Unfortunately, I can't load the next month's contract due to some limitations with TV.
- The active date is highlighted with a yellow background. When a non-trading date is selected, the highlight will disappear. However, the data table will sometimes fill with the nearest trading date, prematurely. No worries, just know that the data is probably for the previous Friday.
- The script is clunky and slow, but this is the best I can do with TV. Hopefully they add more continuous contracts or allow true dynamic symbol loading.

BEST USA Bank Holidays HelperHello traders
This is a quick helper displaying the US bank holidays labels 1 day before the actual bank holiday date
Useful to be reminded when it's better to not trade as the big "whales" aren't trading either - and are probably drinking cocktails on their yachts in the Caribbeans island
This is my way of saying that, the days where the USA are off, the derivatives like indices aren't likely to give big opportunities
Of course, big move might happen but statistically, we're better off going to the Caribbeans islands as well (or preparing for the next trading day)
Bonus
The indicator displays in fuschia (never knew how to write that word properly without checking google first...) the 2019 US bank holidays
Best regards and enjoy your cocktails today :)

Day of week, Forex FixCalendar to work on instruments that trade a 24 hour day like crypto and forex, also does not display if you are above an intraday time. Main tweak was to end the trading day at 0000 (midnight) instead of 1700 (5pm) NYC time.
This update is geared towards Forex traders, which is why I chose to highlight Wednesday in yellow since that is commonly thought of as a midweek reversal point.
@airscape built a good calendar indicator based on the work of @ChrisMoody, this is really an update to their work and directed towards FX and Crypto
airscape:
ChrisMoody:
Future development:
Toggle for light and dark themes
Adjustment/offset for DLST and local vs/ server time
Additional color bands to denote Asian/London/NYC sessions?
Text label for days instead of color option?
Clean up the code and simplify
