Description
QX SessionBox ORB is a clean session + Opening Range (ORB) overlay for cTrader.
It highlights Asia, London, and NY with minimal chart clutter, builds the Opening Range for the first X minutes, and keeps ORB High/Low levels visible as objective intraday structure. A compact panel shows session status and bias so you can read context in seconds.
What you get
- Asia / London / NY session boxes (custom time ranges + colors)
- Opening Range (ORB) for the first ORB Minutes
- ORB High / ORB Low lines (custom color, width, and style)
- Optional ORB box (range highlight)
- Compact dashboard panel (session, ORB status, bias, ATR)
- Optional breakout confirmations (closed-candle only, stable)
Optional advanced mode
- Overlapping sessions support (optional)
- Draw multiple session boxes when session times overlap
- Primary session controls the panel, signals, and ORB reference lines (configurable)
How to use it (simple workflow)
- Attach QX SessionBox ORB to your chart.
- Set Session UTC Offset to match your intended session hours.
- Choose ORB Minutes (common: 15, 30, 60).
- While ORB is building, the panel shows building. After that it becomes ready.
- Use ORB levels as structure:
- Price above ORB High: bullish pressure for the session
- Price below ORB Low: bearish pressure for the session
- Price inside ORB: range behavior (context matters)
- (Optional) Enable Plot Signals:
- CrossOnly (default): candle closes beyond ORB boundary
- State: confirms when price transitions into a bullish/bearish state
- (Optional) Enable ATR Filter to reduce weak breakouts (ATR k is your main sensitivity control).
Designed for real charts
- Closed-candle logic for stability and clarity (no intrabar flicker)
- Throttled updates for lower CPU usage
- Keep Last Sessions to prevent clutter
- History bootstrap option to populate recent sessions quickly
- Clean right-edge behavior (no chart stretching tricks)
Notes
- This is a visual decision-support tool. It does not place trades and is not financial advice.
- Sessions use UTC + manual offset (no DST automation).
- Historical drawing length is controlled by Bootstrap Bars and Keep Last Sessions.
- “See the session. Mark the range. Trade the breakout with clarity.”
Parameter highlights (quick)
- ORB Minutes: opening range window length
- ORB Line Color / Width / Style: ORB High/Low appearance
- Use ATR Filter + ATR k: breakout strictness control
- Signal Mode: CrossOnly (clean) or State (more visual)
- Allow Overlapping Sessions: multi-session boxes when times overlap
- Keep Last Sessions: how many past sessions stay on the chart
- Update Throttle (ms): performance vs responsiveness
