Summary

This chart indicator marks the European pre-opening range with a rectangle, reports its high, low, and range width, then extends horizontal lines at the range boundaries into the following session. The supplied implementation uses an 08:05 to 09:00 time window and is described for five-minute charts. Display options control the information labels and boundary segments, while transparency and label spacing can be adjusted for the chosen instrument.

The indicator is a way to make an opening-range structure visible; it does not specify entries, exits, or a tested trading strategy. The document provides code and parameter descriptions, but no performance evidence or rules for acting on a boundary break or rejection. Its time settings are tied to the stated European market schedule, and its range calculation and display depend on the chart timeframe and platform behavior, so users would need to check alignment with their instrument and session hours.

Key ideas

  • The indicator draws a rectangle around the European pre-opening high and low.
  • It labels the range width and extends its upper and lower boundaries into the later session.
  • Display controls adjust labels, segments, transparency, and label spacing.
  • The document presents a visualization tool rather than entry, exit, or position-sizing rules.
  • The specified session times and five-minute chart context may require adjustment for other instruments or schedules.
