Zebra Grid & Time Verticals

324
This indicator provides dynamic price-shelf visual scaffolding and multi-timeframe session timing using non-cluttering overlays.

Dynamic Centered Horizontal Grid: Calculates a dynamic centerPrice rounded to the user-defined point step (e.g., 10 or 100 points) and tracks upper/lower boundary triggers. When price expands outside the current range boundary, the entire grid dynamically shifts to re-center around live price action.

Zebra Interval Shading: Draws alternating background filled boxes (box.new) between even step intervals alongside persistent horizontal price lines (line.new), giving immediate visual definition to price bins across the chart space.

Historical Timeframe Markers: Detects period transitions (ta.change(time(tf_input)) != 0) on a user-designated higher timeframe (e.g., 15m or 6h) and plots full-chart-height vertical lines at each interval open.

Forward (+1) Projection Line: Requests higher timeframe closing timestamps via request.security to project a future vertical line (lineFuture) using xloc.bar_time to show precisely where the next interval will start before it arrives.

Memory Management: Operates exclusively on barstate.islast using arrays (gridBoxes, gridLines) to purge and redraw horizontal elements, keeping line counts clean within standard TradingView script limits (max_lines_count=500).

How to Use It in Trading:

Intraday Execution (Left 1m Chart): Set step sizes to 10 points with 15-minute vertical lines. Use the alternating zebra bands as visual target shelves for scalping micro-swings, and monitor the 15-minute vertical lines to anticipate volatility shifts around candle opens/closes.

Macro Structure (Bottom-Right 30m Chart): Set step sizes to 100 points with 6-hour (360m) vertical lines. The 100-point bands map institutional round-number zones, while the 6-hour vertical intervals visually segregate the trading day into four distinct structural sessions (Asia, London, US Morning, US Afternoon).

Session Timing & Preparation: Use the +1 Future Vertical Line to pre-plan trade execution windows, identifying exactly how much time remains in the current higher-timeframe candle before structural resets occur.

Other Script Features

Independent Modular Toggles: Dedicated user inputs (showZebra, showVerts) allow instantaneous toggling of horizontal price grids and vertical time lines without removing the script.

Custom Styling Options: Complete user control over horizontal step sizes, grid line counts, line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), line widths, and fill color transparency.
