Indicator for 'no trading times' built into price chart

  Good day,

  I need help creating a code for ‘no trading times’ on the 5 min price chart.

  The time periods I’m looking at is every last 15min of every  hour.  e.g 09h45- 10h00,   10h45-11h00,  11h45- 12h00 etc… These are the ‘no trading times’ for the day

  Ideally I would like my candle sticks to change to the colour ‘white’ during these time periods. So for example, on the 5min chart, the 09h45, 9h50, 9h55 candles will appear the colour white.

  Open to other suggestions as well. Any help will be appreaciated

  Regards,

  Segie

  Add this indicator on your price chart and candlesticks between scheduled times will be plotted in light gray color. The ‘notrading’ variable can be extended with other schedules, I let you add them.

  notrading = (time>094500 and time<=100000) or (time>104500 and time<=110000) or (time>114500 and time<=120000) if notrading then r=200 g=200 b=200 else if close>open then r=0 g=255 b=0 elsif close<open then r=255 g=0 b=0 endif endif drawcandle(open,high,low,close) coloured(r,g,b) return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  notrading = (time>094500 and time<=100000) or (time>104500 and time<=110000) or (time>114500 and time<=120000)   if notrading then r=200 g=200 b=200 else if close>open then r=0 g=255 b=0 elsif close<open then r=255 g=0 b=0 endif endif   drawcandle(open,high,low,close) coloured(r,g,b)   return

  This is perfect. Thank you!

  Currently working on an indicator for novice traders.

  Is there a code to programme the ‘Sell’ and  ‘Buy’ icons on the top right corner of a chart?

  When there’s a Buy signal  on the system the ‘Sell’ icon becomes unavailable. And only the ‘Buy’ icon is available

  vice verca for a Sell signal
