EveryTimeZone

mvtime -l timezones.ron

This example colors different times of the day in common timezones on the planet Earth.

Moscow/Russia row in the middle is configured to be the 'local time' upon which other bars are positioned,
so it is 7:59PM of yesterday(relative to local) in the US, meanwhile in Russia it is 4:59AM of today, and New Zealand is already passed this day for a half.

Asset exchanges

mvtime -l markets.ron

The asset exchanges operates in the different regimes during the day, they are common to all exchanges, but vary in duration and continuity, this example uses colors to encode these features:

• white areas denote 'morning trading session', the specific period at the beginning of the day
• yellow areas - 'main trading session'
• and the blue areas are 'evening trading session'

Configuration file is the list of time tracks in the RON file format.
