OTE Time Matrix [Pascal ⧋]

Overview

“OTE Time Matrix [Pascal ⧋]” anchors each session’s range to the current session open, then projects OTE retracements and expansion zones. It’s session-aware, timezone-aware, and market-aware (stocks, futures, forex, crypto) with safeguards for RTH and futures quirks.

What it does

Detects up to four user-defined sessions (A–D) in a chosen timezone or the exchange timezone.

For each new session, pulls the previous session’s high/low/open, offsets them from the current session open, and draws:

Anchored HIGH/LOW levels

EQ (0.5) and custom OTE retracement lines

Optional projection zones (e.g., 1.20–1.50× range) above/below

Handles stocks RTH trimming (9:30–16:00 ET), shortened futures days, and the 18:00 futures extension bug.
