How to show the fractal only when is in London or New York session?
That’s how I’m showing the fractal
plotshape(filteredtopf, title=”Top Fractals”, style=shape.triangledown, location=location.abovebar, color=color.new(color.white, 0), offset=-2, display = display.all – display.price_scale – display.status_line)
That’s what I tried
session_time = input.session(“1200-1500”, “Session”)
is_in_session = time(timeframe.period, session_time + “:1234567”)
if is_in_session
plotshape(filteredtopf, title=”Top Fractals”, style=shape.triangledown, location=location.abovebar, color=color.new(color.white, 0), offset=-2, display = display.all – display.price_scale – display.status_line)
You can use time() and pass your session strings to it to figure out if your are in a given session. Then simply and them.
//@version=5
indicator("My script", overlay=true)
london_sess = input.session("0700-1600", "London")
newyork_sess = input.session("1300-2200", "New York")
is_in_london = time(timeframe.period, london_sess)
is_in_newyork = time(timeframe.period, newyork_sess)
is_in_both = is_in_london and is_in_newyork
bgcolor(is_in_london ? color.new(color.white, 85) : na)
bgcolor(is_in_newyork ? color.new(color.yellow, 85) : na)
bgcolor(is_in_both ? color.new(color.green, 85) : na)
Background color is white when in London session and yellow when in New York session. It will be green if the current bar is in both sessions.
