Feature Request: Global Trading Market Status Display #159

@Yelles

Description

@Yelles

Day traders need a compact, always-visible display showing which global markets are currently open/closed. Current solutions require checking multiple sources or dedicating valuable screen space.

I've been looking for a clock or device that does this for months, and it was yesterday while looking at my 3 SmallTVs (for crypto monitoring) that I realized it would really be a killer feature to buy a 4th one for this use case :)

Proposed Solution
Single-screen market status display showing US, EU, and Asian markets simultaneously.

Market Details & Hours (UTC)
🇺🇸 US Markets (NYSE, NASDAQ)
Winter (EST - November to March):

Open: 14:30-21:00 UTC 🟢
Closed: All other times 🔴

Summer (EDT - March to November):

Open: 13:30-20:00 UTC 🟢
Closed: All other times 🔴

🇪🇺 European Markets (CAC, DAX, FTSE)

Summer (BST) / Winter (GMT) :

Open: 08:00-16:30 UTC 🟢

Hong Kong: 01:30-04:00, 06:00-09:00 UTC

Status: Collective OPEN/CLOSED with countdown

⚡ Peak Volatility Period

Note: DST automatically detected and applied. Markets closed on weekends and major holidays.

Here some mockup examples :(my favorite is the last one)

🇦🇸 Asian Markets

Note I understand that holiday handling can be complex when dates are not fixed (e.g., Easter, Chinese New Year, Memorial Day). A basic implementation could start with fixed-date holidays and expand over time.
