Overview

Custom Session OHL tracks the session opening price along with the highest and lowest prices reached during that window, plotting them directly on the price chart using distinct colored dots. Users can customize the exact session duration, toggle whether levels continue extending beyond the session boundary, modify text labels, and adjust the label offset positioning to the right of the current bar.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
