The Zones indicator provides a visual display of the boundaries around a price action. There are two types of zones included in the indicator:

• High-Low price zones
• Time period zones (delineations)

High-Low price zones display the boundaries of the High and Low price points. Typically, these zones are displayed for the High and Low price of the day.

Time period zones display boundaries around time period intervals.
