Markets operate in cycles with high-volume sessions, quiet ranges, and post-news chaos, so timing is crucial for trading.
Time filters in Pine Script act as a 'conscious switch' allowing indicators or entries to trigger only when the market demands attention.
Building a flexible time filter in Pine Script helps improve signal quality by ensuring logic only runs during specific market hours.
By using time filters, traders can avoid triggering alerts, entries, or plots during low-activity periods and focus on more opportune times for trading.
