Days of the Week - NY Time (8PM EST Day Start)
This indicator color-codes every trading day directly on your chart, with each "day" beginning at 8:00 PM New York time - the true start of the crypto daily session when Asia opens and fresh weekly/daily liquidity comes in. Instead of using the standard midnight rollover, this aligns your chart with how crypto actually trades.
Features:
- Each day of the week gets its own background color (all 7 colors fully customizable)
- Day name labels print at the start of each session
- Dashed vertical separator lines mark each 8PM rollover
- Uses the America/New York timezone, so EST/EDT daylight savings is handled automatically
- Toggle labels and separators on/off independently
- Adjustable background transparency
Why 8PM ET?
In crypto, the daily candle that matters opens at 8PM New York time - Sunday 8PM kicks off the Monday session. Anchoring your day boundaries here makes it much easier to spot day-of-week tendencies: weekend compression, early-week momentum, and mid-week reversals all become visually obvious at a glance.
Works on any intraday timeframe. Best viewed on 15m-4H charts.
