England and United States Session Indicator

  I have searched for a session indicator, but not found one.

  What I would appreciate is a box surrounding the session for England and United States session. I would also like the box to print the pip spread for each session. I am not that good at the coding just learning to code. Plan to use for back testing of strategies.

   

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I used the background colour to identify both sessions, as rectangles would move as new highs and lows are set.

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = true ONCE UKstart = 090000 ONCE UKend = 180000 ONCE USstart = 150000 ONCE USend = 230000 ONCE UKhh = 0 ONCE UKll = 9999999 ONCE UShh = 0 ONCE USll = 9999999 TimeRef = OpenTime IF TimeRef = 000000 OR ((TimeRef > 000000) AND (TimeRef < TimeRef[1])) THEN UKhh = 0 UKll = 9999999 UShh = 0 USll = 9999999 ENDIF // UKsession = TimeRef >= UKstart AND TimeRef <= UKend USsession = TimeRef >= USstart AND TimeRef <= USend // backgroundcolor(255,255,255,255) //WHITE background (default) IF TimeRef >= UKstart AND TimeRef < USstart AND TimeRef <= UKend THEN backgroundcolor(176,226,255,80) //CYAN background (overlapping sessions) ELSIF TimeRef >= UKstart AND TimeRef <= UKend THEN backgroundcolor(0,128,0,40) //GREEN background (UK session) ELSIF TimeRef >= USstart AND TimeRef > UKend AND TimeRef <= USend THEN backgroundcolor(255,187,255,40) //PINK background (US session) ENDIF // IF UKsession THEN UKhh = max(UKhh,high) UKll = min(UKll,low) UKgap = UKhh - UKll ENDIF IF USsession THEN UShh = max(UShh,high) USll = min(USll,low) USgap = UShh - USll ENDIF // Offset = max(UKhh,UShh) Rng = average[100,0](range) DrawText("UK #UKgap#",BarIndex,Offset + rng) coloured(0,0,0,255) DrawText("US #USgap#",BarIndex,Offset + rng * 2) coloured(0,0,0,255) RETURN

  Most used colours can be found at http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm.

  The 4th parameter used with colours in PRT is usually named Alpha or Transparency, it’s optional and can range from 0 (invisible)  to 255 (fully visible),

  You may want to change times to make them suit your needs.
