- Reset modes: by session, by a set number of hours, or daily.
- Backtesting support: specify a date range to limit indicator activity to historical periods.
- Session constraint: restricts operation to specific sessions, with optional weekend inclusion for crypto or 24/7 markets.
- Visual customization: choose to display session high/low as lines, background color, or filled regions. All colors and transparencies are user-configurable.
- Efficient plotting: session levels are always included in TradingView’s autoscale, so you never lose sight of key levels.
Technical details:
- Session definition uses TradingView’s session string format (e.g., 1800-1500).
- Timezone handling is automatic and accurate, even with custom offsets.
- Designed for high efficiency, supporting up to 5000 bars back and 500 lines.
