These intervals repeat continuously throughout the trading day and are highlighted directly on the chart for quick visual reference.

The highlighted areas move with the chart and update automatically as new candles form.
How Traders Use These Windows

• Observe potential increases in volatility
• Watch for liquidity movements
• Align trade setups with specific intraday timing intervals
• Improve timing for entries or confirmations
