Indicator to display Asian time zones

  Good morning guys,

  I have just joined this forum this morning and looks to be lots of great information and very knowledgable people on here.

  Was just wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction as I am sure this would already be available, but I can not seem to find anything.

  What I am after is an indictor which displays the Asian session on my charts  (i.e Just a box around the candles from the open to close, with high and low being the top and bottom of the box) I am looking to backtest something and this would really help me out and save having to manually draw them on multiple times on each chart.

  Any help that is available would really be appreciated,

  Regards,

  Simon

  There you go

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = True //Only display lines on the last bar (not to overstuff the chart with useless lines) // initialize variables at launchtime ONCE StartTime = 230000 //Start of Asian session ONCE EndTime = 080000 //End of Asian session ONCE AsianSession = 0 ONCE hh = 0 ONCE ll = 999999 // set variables at the beginning of every Asian session IF (time >= StartTime) OR (time < EndTime) AND (AsianSession = 0) THEN AsianSession = 1 hh = 0 ll = 999999 ENDIF // find Higher Highs and Lower Lows at each bar (while in the desired session) & colour Background IF AsianSession THEN hh = max(hh,high) ll = min(ll,low) backgroundcolor(220,220,220,255) //Grey Background ENDIF // initialize variables at the end of every Asian session IF (time >= EndTime) AND (time < StartTime) AND AsianSession THEN AsianSession = 0 ENDIF drawhline(hh)coloured(0,100,0,255) //Dark green for the Highest High drawhline(ll)coloured(139,0,0,255) //Dark Red for the Lowest Low RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly   = True              //Only display lines on the last bar (not to overstuff the chart with useless lines)   //                     initialize variables at launchtime ONCE StartTime               = 230000            //Start of Asian session ONCE EndTime                 = 080000            //End   of Asian session ONCE AsianSession            = 0 ONCE hh                      = 0 ONCE ll                      = 999999   //                    set variables at the beginning of every Asian session IF (time >= StartTime) OR (time < EndTime) AND (AsianSession = 0) THEN    AsianSession = 1    hh           = 0    ll           = 999999 ENDIF   //                    find Higher Highs and Lower Lows at each bar (while in the desired session) & colour Background IF AsianSession THEN    hh = max(hh,high)    ll = min(ll,low)    backgroundcolor(220,220,220,255)              //Grey Background ENDIF   //                    initialize variables at the end of every Asian session IF (time >= EndTime) AND (time < StartTime) AND AsianSession THEN    AsianSession = 0 ENDIF   drawhline(hh)coloured(0,100,0,255)               //Dark green for the Highest High drawhline(ll)coloured(139,0,0,255)               //Dark Red   for the Lowest Low   RETURN

  It will display a grey background so that the session it is clearly defined and displays two lines for the highest high and the lowest low.

  It’s up to you to adjust times and coloors to suit best your needs.
