Trading Cutoff Timer

Trade Cutoff Timer — Discipline-First Session Control
Trade Cutoff Timer is a simple execution-discipline indicator designed to enforce one of the most powerful trading rules:
stop trading after your optimal window ends.
The indicator visually marks a fixed cutoff time measured in minutes after the market open, helping you avoid late-session overtrading, FOMO entries, and degraded edge conditions.
🔹 What it does
Draws a clear vertical cutoff line at X minutes after market open
Optionally shades the background from market open until the cutoff
Prevents “one more trade” behavior by making your rule visible on-chart
Works on any intraday timeframe
Does not affect chart scaling or price visibility
🔹 Key Features
⏱ Minute-based cutoff
Define exactly how long after market open you are allowed to trade (e.g. 90 minutes).
🌍 Timezone-aware (UTC±)
Select timezones using TradingView-style UTC offsets for consistent behavior across markets.
📅 Lookback control
Limit how many historical days are marked to keep charts clean and focused.
🎨 Visual flexibility
Enable or disable background shading, control how far it extends, and customize colors.
🧠 Discipline over signals
No entries, no indicators, no bias — this tool enforces process, not predictions.
🔹 Who it’s for
Day traders with a defined trading window
Traders who perform best near market open
Anyone working to improve consistency, patience, and rule-based execution
Traders who want structure without clutter
🔹 Typical use cases
“I only trade the first 90 minutes after NY open”
“I stop trading once volatility degrades”
“I want a visual reminder of my hard stop time”
Trade less. Trade better.
This indicator exists to support consistency — not to generate signals.
