3D Globe - World Stock Markets

A real-time 3D rotating globe visualization showing 19 major stock exchanges worldwide with their current trading status.

█ OVERVIEW

This indicator displays an interactive 3D Earth globe that rotates in sync with the sun (sun-synchronous rotation), providing an intuitive view of which markets are currently in daylight/trading hours. Each stock exchange is plotted at its geographic location with color-coded status indicators.

█ FEATURES

- 3D Globe Rendering
- Spherical projection with proper visibility culling (hidden side not drawn)
- 27 country/region polygons derived from Natural Earth 110m data
- Optional latitude/longitude grid (meridians every 20°, parallels every 20°)
- Sun-synchronous auto-rotation: the globe rotates 15° per hour to follow real-world daylight

- 19 Stock Exchanges Tracked
NYSE, NASDAQ, TSX (Toronto), BMV (Mexico), B3 (São Paulo), LSE (London), EURONEXT (Paris), XETRA (Frankfurt), SIX (Zurich), MOEX (Moscow), TADAWUL (Riyadh), JSE (Johannesburg), NSE (Mumbai), SSE (Shanghai), HKEX (Hong Kong), TSE (Tokyo), KRX (Seoul), SGX (Singapore), ASX (Sydney)

- Real-Time Market Table (10 columns)
- Status indicator (● open / ○ closed)
- Exchange name and country with flag
- Local time with seconds (HH:MM:SS)
- Opening time
- Time to open (for closed markets)
- Time since open (for open markets)
- Time to close (for open markets)
- Index name (S&P500, FTSE, DAX, CAC40, N225, HSI, etc.)
- Daily % change with color coding

█ HOW IT WORKS

The globe uses standard 3D mathematics:
1. Geographic coordinates (lat/lon) are converted to 3D Cartesian points on a unit sphere
2. Rotation matrices are applied for X-axis tilt and Y-axis rotation (sun position)
3. Points are projected onto 2D screen space
4. Visibility culling hides points on the far side of the globe (z < 0)

Performance optimization: The globe redraws only when the minute changes, while the market table updates every tick for accurate second-by-second timing.
