Mark certain times with pivots.

I have a list of times when action is most likely to occur. Is there any indicator I could list those times and it would appear on my chart.

Thanks for your time,
Brian

This seems to cover the different sessions. I would like to use some indicator where I can input certain times and it would mark the chart for those times. So I can prepare for turning points.
Any feedback would be great!

Can't you just plot a vertical line, double click it and set the time?

That's what I'll do.. Maybe thinking a bit much, myself.

@Magiklair,

This indicator is really helpful and adding a vertical line at certain time is not the same.
I have just used it for visual backtesting and it marks specific times everyday without the need to spend time on drawing vertical lines.
Interesting though, when 3 events were not enough I added the indicator second time and ended up having the lines marked in lower panels, not price data panel!
Even though both of them are marked to be in "same as input series" panel.
Minor flaw???

When nothing goes right... go left
