Article TradingView scripts

Summary

This indicator marks configurable trading sessions on a price chart and provides a panel showing each session’s current or latest candle information. Users can set session names, times, time zone, and colors; the supplied defaults cover Tokyo, London, New York, and Sydney. Chart annotations can appear as shaded session boxes or candle-like drawings, with optional labels for price and change.
