Help making "Forex Trader's Cheat Sheet" indicator

Hello,

You have probably seen the "Cheat Sheet" attached which highlights optimal trading hours for the currency pairs.

Could one of the many programmers here please take a swing at this and see how much effort is needed to make this into an indi?

It would be great if it gave different shades of green according to which currency pair is in the chart.

Thank you for your time and efforts.

Is there a reason why you can't simply print it out?

I do have a print out. My motive was to eventually have an indi that would show the market hours and also indicate the "strength" of the currency pair in my chart relative to the trading hours.

Does this make sense to do or is it a futile effort?

IMO, it's a futile effort. Those stats were generated back in 2004 I think. Surely the market has changed in light of the subprime crisis.

General rule of thumb, anything developed pre-2006 has a very high chance of being obsolete today.

What about breakouts and gap fading? They aren't obsolete.
