Description

Market Session BT — Session Boxes Overlay (UTC)

Market Session BT draws clean, customizable trading session boxes directly on your cTrader chart (overlay).
Each session can be enabled/disabled individually and displayed as either a filled zone or a frame-only outline. Colors use the native cTrader color picker, so you can control transparency via the opacity slider inside the palette.

Default Session Times (UTC)

  • Sydney: 21:00 – 06:00 (UTC)
  • Tokyo: 00:00 – 09:00 (UTC)
  • London: 07:00 – 16:00 (UTC)
  • New York: 13:00 – 22:00 (UTC)

Note: Forex “sessions” are based on common market convention (OTC). Since DST rules vary by region, you may want to adjust the session times manually during DST transitions. The indicator itself stays strictly on UTC.

Features

  • Per-session settings: Enable, Start/End (HH:mm), Box Style, Color, Border Thickness
  • Box Style options:
    • Filled: draws a transparent fill + an always-visible border on top
    • Outline: draws only the session frame (no fill)
  • Native color palette: choose any color and set transparency directly in the picker
  • Overnight sessions supported (sessions that cross midnight)

Use Cases

  • Mark session ranges and overlaps at a glance
  • Highlight high-liquidity windows (London/NY) vs. quieter periods (Tokyo/Sydney)
  • Build consistent time-based rules for setups, entries, and risk management

FIX: Update mode changed: OnBar → OnTick (real-time). Session boxes now refresh tick-by-tick; history is built once on load.

Summary

AI summary
Market Session BT is an indicator for cTrader that overlays customizable trading session boxes on charts using UTC time. It visually marks major Forex market sessions—Sydney (21:00–06:00 UTC), Tokyo (00:00–09:00 UTC), London (07:00–16:00 UTC), and New York (13:00–22:00 UTC)—with options to enable or disable each session individually. Users can choose between filled zones with transparent color fills and visible borders or outline-only frames. Colors and opacity are adjustable via the native cTrader color picker. The indicator supports overnight sessions that span midnight and updates session boxes in real-time on each tick, with historical data loaded on chart initialization. Typical use cases include identifying session ranges and overlaps, highlighting periods of varying liquidity, and establishing time-based trading rules for entries and risk management. Session times can be manually adjusted to accommodate daylight saving time changes, as the indicator operates strictly on UTC. Key features include per-session settings for start/end times, box style, color, and border thickness.

Market Session BT clearly visualizes trading sessions and helps track market activity. Works best on M15-H1. On M1 the chart becomes cluttered due to large colored zones, which hurts price readability. A lite or scalping mode would greatly improve usability.
