Overview

Chart Champions Sessions covers Asia, London, New York, close, and specific ASX pre-market and open periods. A top banner dynamically changes color based on the current session when enabled. Multiple input settings allow customization of each session time range, with an option to hide sessions longer than a specified interval. The indicator uses time functions to detect exact session periods and draws markers at the bottom of the chart.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
