Custom Session Indicator for cTrader

1
Hi guys. This is my first indicator, made entirely by me, for the community.

Description:
I’ve developed a session indicator for cTrader that marks trading sessions based on predefined limits. To optimize performance, session data is loaded during initialization (avoiding redundant tick-by-tick recalculations).

Key Features:
  • Clean Visualization: Session zones are displayed as boxes with interactive tooltips (hover to view details)—reducing chart clutter.
  • Vertical Line & NY Midnight Marker: Includes a vertical line at 00:00 NY time (please verify accuracy for NY midnight).
  • Time Zone Handling: Adjustable via GMT offsets (two global inputs for session start/end, applied uniformly across all boxes).

Halo there. Thanks so much for your work. It is changing my trading career so much. I am writing to make a request. Can you please, if possible and you have the time to please add more customisable "Trend lines" like what you put for the NY midnight close- say 5 more customisable ones and add another customisable session box.

I have built a trading strategy with the help of you indicator but it requires one more box and about 6 horizontal lines for closes. Sadly,I don't know coding and I got stuck since I couldn't get the code to try these AI platforms to help.

Thanks again. I hope it is possible.

Halo Thoth, I imagine you are too busy BUT i will still take this chance to reach out and request a small collab. I love your indicator., the Custom session indicator for CTRADER and would want something BESPOKE with just a few additions. 6-8 more lines that print like the NY midnight open BUT at custom timestamps. I had built a strategy that uses all the other parameters you put but since i can not code well, i fail to add these others. I could also find something decent to buy your code if okay.
With thanks from MelaninTrades from Uganda.
