Description
[Quant Expert] Time-Anchored Volatility Grid is a precision analysis tool designed for traders who base their strategies on specific market events (e.g., London/New York Open, News Releases, or Daily Reset).

Unlike standard grid indicators that use arbitrary fixed distances, this tool allows you to "Anchor" the calculation to a specific historical candle. It then captures the market volatility of that exact moment to generate dynamic, context-aware grid levels.

🚀 Key Features
WYSIWYG Timezone Engine (What You See Is What You Get) Most Pine Script indicators struggle with timezone conversions. This version features a custom engine where you simply input the time you see on your chart (e.g., GMT+8). No more manual UTC conversions.

Automated Volatility Capture

Auto-Start Price: Automatically sets the grid origin based on the Low of your anchored candle.

Auto-Gap Calculation: Dynamically calculates the grid spacing based on the High-Low range of the target candle.

Bi-Directional Flexibility Toggle Long (upward) or Short (downward) grids independently. Perfect for hedging strategies or directional bias trading.

Gap Multiplier Fine-tune the grid density by applying a multiplier (e.g., 0.5 for tighter grids, 2.0 for wider swings) to the captured volatility.

Visual Debugging Includes an optional Anchor Line and detailed Data Labels to verify exactly which candle and price data are being used for your calculations.

How to Use
Set Your Anchor: In the settings, input the exact Year, Month, Day, and Time of the candle you want to reference (e.g., the 09:30 opening bell).

Sync Timezone: Ensure the User Timezone field matches the timezone displayed at the bottom right of your TradingView chart (e.g., America/New_York for US Stocks or GMT+8 for Asia).

Choose Logic:

Enable "Use Auto Start Price" to snap the grid to the candle's Low.

Enable "Use Auto Gap" to let the market's volatility define the grid size.

Customize: Adjust the Line Count and Colors to fit your chart theme.
