About Daylight Saving Time:
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a practice observed by many countries to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer. The EU and California (US_CA) have specific rules for DST transitions:
EU DST Rules:
DST begins on the last Sunday of March.
DST ends on the last Sunday of October.
US_CA DST Rules:
DST begins on the second Sunday of March.
DST ends on the first Sunday of November.
About the code
The code is briefly commented. Please feel free to use or further customize it ... And, of course, I would be happy to be named and/or linked. If you're satisfied, maybe buy me a coffee ;-)
I'm curious to see how this indicator will develop with more ideas - Please keep me updated by commenting below or by sending me a message.

Forex Session Breaks DST AWARE!There seems to be no open source forex trading session DST (Daylight Savings Time) aware scripts which I think is absurd. This amazing community deserves better. So I adapted some code by icostan adding DST capabilities.
Original code by icostan here
I added DST code. Warning may not be perfect yet. Could be a bug or two. It only supports 3 major sessions right now but you can add your own rules for the other timezones by copying my logic.
It is open source so please add the other sessions and regions as needed and update me please.

- 1 hour pre-market zones added (there is none for Australia as that is the start of the Forex day)
- modified transparency settings to make it more subtle
- default on are Asia open and New York open + their respective 1 hour Pre-Market
