Symbol Exchange time Syncing to indicator

[frien_dd]

Good afternoon all,

I have been working on the below script on crypto currencies to see how market opening times could affect price action.

I would like to take it a step further and enable its use on non crypto currencies. But the issue I have is that the alignment changes depending on the symbols timezone.

So for example the below aligns as to my idea for BTCUSD but GBPNZD (which is UTC-5) the alignment is off.

Has anyone coded this before?

This is where I am currently with this script. I am trying to read the output from the GMTOffset to change the input for time_int_01.

Any advice guidance will be gratefully received.

Code: Select all

//@version=4
study("Initial Balance Testing GMT", overlay=true)

var int GMTOffset = hour(timenow) - hour(timenow, "GMT")


time_int_minus5 = input("1900-2000:1234567", "Asia IB Range", input.session)
time_int_minus4 = input("2000-2100:1234567", "Asia IB Range", input.session)
time_int_minus3 = input("2100-2200:1234567", "Asia IB Range", input.session)
time_int_minus2 = input("2200-2300:1234567", "Asia IB Range", input.session)
time_int_minus1 = input("2300-0000:1234567", "Asia IB Range", input.session)

time_int_0 = input("0000-0100:1234567", "Asia IB Range", input.session)

time_int_01 = time_int_minus5

if GMTOffset == 0
    time_int_0 := time_int_01

if GMTOffset == -1
    time_int_minus1 := time_int_01

if GMTOffset == -2
    time_int_minus2 := time_int_01

if GMTOffset == -3
    time_int_minus3 := time_int_01

if GMTOffset == -4
    time_int_minus4 := time_int_01

if GMTOffset == -5
    time_int_minus5 := time_int_01
