Kill Zone Grid

Caca Poo-Poo Kill Zone (12pm–4pm) — Avoid the Death Hours
This indicator highlights the worst trading window of the day — the midday chop zone where liquidity dies, algo volume disappears, spreads widen, and your account slowly bleeds out from boredom and paper cuts.
From 12pm to 4pm (New York Time) the script:
• Shades the background with a bold kill-zone color
• Adds red gridline stripes to visually scream “STOP TRADING, YOU DONKEY”
• Makes the entire chart look hostile so you avoid revenge trading, boredom trading, and all forms of midday stupidity
Perfect for scalpers and trend traders who only want the clean morning moves and want a visual reminder to step away, go outside, touch grass, eat lunch, or hit the gym instead of forcing trades in garbage hours.
If you trade futures, options, or zero-day anything — this script will save you money, sanity, and years off your life.
