19 giờ trước

Description:
This indicator captures and marks the high and low of the first 1-minute candle after a specified time (default: 9:30 AM) and tracks the highs and lows of the first five candles. The levels marked by these initial candles are often critical in determining early session support and resistance, providing a visual guide for traders monitoring price action in the opening minutes of a trading session.

Key Features and Usage
1-Minute Candle High/Low: The indicator captures the high and low of the first 1-minute candle after the specified session start time. This level is marked with horizontal lines and labels, providing traders with an immediate reference for early-session price extremes.
5-Candle Range High/Low: After the first five candles, the indicator also highlights the highest and lowest levels within this range, offering additional support/resistance lines to aid in understanding early price movements.
Custom Labels and Dynamic Line Extension:
Labels update dynamically and display whether the 1-minute high/low coincides with the 5-minute range high/low, combining these labels if they match.
Horizontal lines extend to the current bar to remain visible throughout the session for consistent reference.
Customization Options
Colors and Label Text: Users can adjust colors for the 1-minute and 5-minute high/low lines and the label text for optimal readability.
Label Position Offset: Labels are placed slightly above or below their respective lines to avoid overlap with price action, maintaining clarity on the chart.
Intended Use
This indicator is especially useful for intraday traders focusing on opening range breakout strategies, scalping, or short-term trend analysis. It is intended for use on intraday charts (such as 1-minute or 5-minute intervals) and provides straightforward levels to assess early market structure.

Technical Details
Customization of Start Time: Users can change the default start time to any desired session opening time, adapting it to various markets or trading sessions.
Dynamic Line and Label Updates: Both lines and labels dynamically extend with the chart, while labels remain easy to read as they shift based on recent price action.
