Breaklines for RTH and ETH

[sam2018]

Hello,

Is there a way to add break lines (such as the EOD break lines that is currently available) to separate the after hours trading from regular trading hours? If not a break lines is there a way to shade the after hours trading chart in a different color to easily delineate it?

See example

Hello sam2018,

This would be possible to do with a custom coded script.

Below is a link to the TimeZoneColors indicator you can use as an example.

As well as a public link to the help guide on TradingHours.Sessions where you can loop through the sessions to get the start and end times.

sam2018,
To get break lines like EOD per your first, an alternative to an indicator is to create Custom Trading Hours Session template(s) subdivided into Day and after-hours or any of your choosing.
8 has some unexpected behaviour which you may encounter depending on what you do, not printing the 'open' of a Session until it closes, which 7 did not, but it can be worked around.
FYI I have used both approaches concurrently for years in 7 for the purposes you describe, am using Custom Session templates in 8 and have tested the 8 TCZ indicator but am not yet using until I get consistent platform behaviour.
Using custom session templates loses server-pushed updates to these.
Hope this is helpful
