Description

Know exactly when major markets open and close. FX Market Sessions displays the four key trading sessions with their high and low levels, helping you time your entries around the most volatile hours of the day.


Key Features

  • Four Major Sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York sessions displayed with customizable start/end times and automatic DST adjustment
  • Session High/Low Levels: Automatically tracks and displays the high and low of each session with extendable lines for support/resistance planning
  • Live Session Display: Real-time info panel shows which sessions are currently open - no more guessing when London or New York begins
  • Historical Context: View up to 10 days of past session levels to see how price reacted at key session boundaries
  • Full Customization: Choose which sessions to display, pick custom colors, and decide whether to extend high/low levels infinitely


How It Works

The indicator automatically calculates the four major forex trading sessions based on their respective local time zones:

  • Sydney: 21:00-06:00 AEST (adjusts for DST)
  • Tokyo: 00:00-09:00 JST
  • London: 08:00-17:00 GMT (adjusts for DST)
  • New York: 13:00-22:00 EST (adjusts for DST)

Each session is drawn as a vertical zone with its high and low levels marked. The info panel in the top-right corner displays which sessions are currently open in real-time.

  • Extend Highs (Default: False): Extend high lines to the right edge of chart
  • Show Lows (Default: True): Display the low level of each session
  • Extend Lows (Default: False): Extend low lines to the right edge of chart

  • Anyone wanting to visualize the best trading hours


Trading Tips

  • London Open: One of the most volatile periods - often sets the direction for the day
  • London/New York Overlap: 13:00-16:00 GMT typically has the highest volume and volatility
  • Asian Session: Best for trading JPY pairs and AUD pairs
  • Session Breakouts: Price breaking above/below a session's high/low can signal continuation moves


Supported Timeframes

Works optimally on timeframes from M5 to H4. The indicator automatically adjusts session boxes to fit the scale of your chart.

Summary

AI summary
FX Market Sessions is an indicator designed for forex traders to visualize the four major trading sessions—Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York—directly on their charts. It automatically calculates session times based on local time zones and adjusts for daylight saving time. The indicator marks session start and end times with optional vertical lines and displays each session as a colored zone.
Key features include automatic plotting of session high and low price levels, with options to extend these levels across the chart for support and resistance analysis. A live info panel shows which sessions are currently open in real-time. Users can customize which sessions to display, adjust colors, and set how many past days (up to 10) of session data to show, excluding weekends.
The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes, working best on 5-minute to 4-hour charts. It provides historical context by showing previous session levels, aiding traders in timing entries around periods of increased volatility such as the London open and the London/New York overlap. This tool supports trading strategies that rely on session timing and price levels for breakout and intraday trading decisions.

Pros: Highlights Tokyo, London, and New York sessions with custom colors. Ultra-light performance. Clean and intuitive display. Cons: No alerts or tooltips. Missing template saving. Provides no trading signals by itself.
