Overview

Session Input Parser accepts a simple time range or a range with weekday digits after a colon. Parsed values for both inputs are written into one left-aligned label placed at the current bar near the average of open, high, low, and close. It does not generate trade signals, entries, exits, or risk levels.

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.
