year - Pine Script Variable

year

Overview

Current bar year in exchange timezone.

Type

int

Qualifier

Remarks

• The value is derived from the bar’s opening time, so overnight sessions can report the prior year on the first bar.
• Note that this variable returns the year based on the time of the bar’s open. For overnight sessions (e.g. EURUSD, where Monday session starts on Sunday, 17:00) this value can be lower by 1 than the year of the trading day.

Example

//@version=6
indicator("Yearly separators", overlay=true)

isNewYear = ta.change(year)
plotshape(isNewYear, style=shape.flag, location=location.top, size=size.tiny)
