Trading Cutoff Timer

Trade Cutoff Timer — Discipline-First Session Control

Trade Cutoff Timer is a simple execution-discipline indicator designed to enforce one of the most powerful trading rules:
stop trading after your optimal window ends.

The indicator visually marks a fixed cutoff time measured in minutes after the market open, helping you avoid late-session overtrading, FOMO entries, and degraded edge conditions.

🔹 What it does

Draws a clear vertical cutoff line at X minutes after market open

Optionally shades the background from market open until the cutoff

Prevents “one more trade” behavior by making your rule visible on-chart

Works on any intraday timeframe

Does not affect chart scaling or price visibility

🔹 Key Features

⏱ Minute-based cutoff
Define exactly how long after market open you are allowed to trade (e.g. 90 minutes).

🌍 Timezone-aware (UTC±)
Select timezones using TradingView-style UTC offsets for consistent behavior across markets.

📅 Lookback control
Limit how many historical days are marked to keep charts clean and focused.

🎨 Visual flexibility
Enable or disable background shading, control how far it extends, and customize colors.

🧠 Discipline over signals
No entries, no indicators, no bias — this tool enforces process, not predictions.

🔹 Who it’s for

Day traders with a defined trading window

Traders who perform best near market open

Anyone working to improve consistency, patience, and rule-based execution

Traders who want structure without clutter

🔹 Typical use cases

“I only trade the first 90 minutes after NY open”

“I stop trading once volatility degrades”

“I want a visual reminder of my hard stop time”

Trade less. Trade better.
This indicator exists to support consistency — not to generate signals.
