QX SessionBox ORB is an overlay session utility for cTrader that highlights the most practical intraday structure: sessions + Opening Range (ORB).

It draws clean session boxes (Asia, London, NY), builds the Opening Range for the first X minutes of each session, and keeps the ORB High/Low levels visible as objective reference lines. A compact panel shows session status and market bias so you can read context in seconds.

What you get

• Asia / London / NY session boxes (custom time ranges)
• Opening Range (ORB) for the first ORB Minutes
• ORB High / ORB Low lines (custom color, width, style)
• Optional ORB box (visual range highlight)
• A dashboard panel with session, ORB status, ORB levels, and bias
• Optional breakout confirmations based on closed candles only (stable, no intrabar flicker)

How to use it (simple workflow)

Attach QX SessionBox ORB to your chart.

1. Set your Session UTC Offset if your broker time differs from your intended session hours.
2. Choose ORB Minutes (common choices: 15, 30, 60).
   While ORB is building, the panel will show a “building” status. After that, it becomes “ready”.
3. Use the ORB High/Low as a clean structure:
4. • Price above ORB High suggests bullish pressure for that session.
   • Price below ORB Low suggests bearish pressure for that session.
   • Price inside the ORB zone is typically range behavior (context matters).
4. (Optional) Enable Plot Signals for confirmations:
5. • CrossOnly (default): confirms only when a candle closes beyond the ORB boundary.
   • State: confirms when price transitions into a bullish or bearish state for the session.
5. (Optional) Enable ATR Filter to reduce weak breakouts. If signals feel “too rare” or “too frequent”, the ATR k value is your main sensitivity control.

Designed for real charts

• Closed-candle logic for stability and clarity
• Throttled updates to reduce CPU usage
• Keep Last Sessions to prevent chart clutter
• Built to avoid chart scaling side-effects (no “zooming candles” behavior)

Notes

QX SessionBox ORB is a visual decision-support tool. It does not place trades and is not financial advice. Always test on your broker’s symbol and session timezone settings.

Parameter highlights (quick)

• ORB Minutes: length of the opening range window.
• ORB Line Color: customize the ORB High/Low line color.
• Use ATR Filter + ATR k: breakout strictness control.
• Signal Mode: CrossOnly (clean) or State (more visual).
• Keep Last Sessions: how many past sessions stay on the chart.
• Update Throttle (ms): performance vs responsiveness.

“See the session. Mark the range. Trade the breakout with clarity.”
