NYSE, Euronext, and Shanghai Stock Exchange Hours Indicator

This script is designed to enhance your trading experience by visually marking the opening and closing hours of major global stock exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Euronext, and Shanghai Stock Exchange. By adding vertical lines and background fills during trading sessions, it helps traders quickly identify these critical periods, potentially informing better trading decisions.

Features of This Indicator:

• NYSE, Euronext, and Shanghai Stock Exchange Hours: Displays vertical lines at market open and close times for these three exchanges. You can easily switch between showing or hiding the different exchanges to customize the indicator for your needs.
  
• Background Fill: Highlights the trading hours of these exchanges using faint background colors, making it easy to spot when markets are in session. This feature is crucial for timing trades around overlapping trading hours and volume peaks.
  
• Customizable Visuals: Adjust the color, line style (solid, dotted, dashed), and line width to match your preferences, making the indicator both functional and visually aligned with your chart's aesthetics.
  

How to Use the Indicator:

1. Add the Indicator to Your Chart: Add the script to your chart from the TradingView script library. Once added, the indicator will automatically plot vertical lines at the opening and closing times of the NYSE, Euronext, and Shanghai Stock Exchange.
   
2. Customize Display Settings: Choose which exchanges to display by enabling or disabling the NYSE, Euronext, or Shanghai sessions in the indicator settings. This allows you to focus only on the exchanges that are relevant to your trading strategy.
   
3. Adjust Visual Properties: Customize the appearance of the vertical lines and background fill through the settings. Modify the color of each exchange, adjust the line style (solid, dotted, dashed), and control the line thickness to suit your chart preferences. The background fill can also be customized to clearly highlight active trading sessions.
   
4. Identify Key Market Hours: Use the vertical lines and background fills to identify the market open and close times. This is particularly useful for understanding how price action changes during specific trading hours or for finding high liquidity periods when multiple markets are open simultaneously.
   
5. Adapt Trading Strategies: By knowing when major stock exchanges are open, you can adapt your trading strategy to take advantage of potential price movements, increased volatility, or volume. This can help you avoid low-liquidity times and capitalize on more active trading periods.
   

This indicator is especially valuable for traders focusing on cross-market dynamics or those interested in understanding how different sessions influence market liquidity and price action. With this tool, you can gain insight into market conditions and adapt your trading strategies accordingly. The clean visual separation of session times helps you maintain context, whether you're trading Forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
