Overview
On a daily chart it shades even weeks; on a 15-minute chart it shades every other trading day using the week number and weekday. A single toggle turns the pattern on or off. It does not plot price series, moving averages, or trade signals, and it draws nothing on other timeframes. The author note mentions spotting breaks of a higher period, but the script only colors the background.
- Even and odd week background stripes on daily charts
- Alternate-day stripes on 15-minute charts
- Toggle to show or hide the pattern
- Light gray overlay on the price chart

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