Key Times & Opening Prices [Olitrades]

How it works

The indicator identifies and plots multiple critical market opening times throughout the day, using Eastern Standard Time as its reference point. These time points include daily market opens, settlement times, and specific morning and afternoon intervals like equity market open and 4-hour candle starts.

Traders can customize the indicator by selecting specific time slots, adjusting line styles, and choosing between opening price markers or vertical separators. The tool automatically adapts to different time zones while maintaining New York local time references.

Why it may be useful

The flexibility of customizing time slots and line appearances allows traders to personalize their market analysis approach. Historical tracking features enable traders to review past price levels and their relationships, enhancing strategic decision-making and pattern recognition.
