Plot vertical time markers locked to your local timezone — no matter which broker or exchange you use. The script auto-detects the broker's timezone and converts your target times correctly.What's New in v6
> Auto-detect broker timezone — no more guessing offset or DST toggles. Set your own GMT and CVL handles the conversion.
> "Show Broker Server Time" toggle — displays the detected exchange offset as a label (Broker: UTC+1) so you always know which timezone your chart is aligned to. Toggle it on/off anytime.
> Clean vertical stems — anchors sit outside the visible price range, so only the vertical line shows — no horizontal dash artifacts cluttering your support/resistance zones.
> Hardened defaults — line style fixed to solid, anchor logic locked. Fewer knobs, cleaner chart.
> Pine Script v6
How to Use
1. Set Target Timezone (GMT) to YOUR local timezone (e.g., 8 for Singapore, -4 for New York).
2. Configure up to 7 time slots with your key hours (session opens, news events, entry windows).
3. Check Show Broker Server Time to verify the detected exchange offset.
4. Lines will fire at those times every day, locked to YOUR clock, on any broker chart.
Use Cases
> Mark session opens (London, New York, Asia) on any instrument
> Highlight news event times (FOMC, NFP, CPI)
> Intraday time-based strategies — entry windows, session close warnings
> Verify chart timezone alignment at a glance
