How It Works
1. Bar Counting: The indicator numbers each bar starting from the beginning of each trading day. You can display every bar number or only show specific intervals.
2. Session Visualization: Trading sessions appear as semi-transparent colored boxes behind your price action. The transparency effect is achieved by blending colors, allowing you to see both sessions and candlesticks clearly.
3. Timezone Handling: All session times are converted to your selected timezone. When DST is active in the selected region, times adjust automatically.
4. Timer Display: A countdown timer appears to the right of the current candle, showing exactly how much time remains until the next bar forms.
