Market Session Ultimate - Visualize the Trading Day Like Never Before!

Market Session Ultimate is the most comprehensive and customizable session indicator for cTrader. Whether you trade Forex, Indices, or Crypto, this tool provides complete visual clarity on market sessions, opening ranges, and critical price levels.

Version 2.0 is here! This major update brings a massive visual overhaul, precision timing controls, a modern dashboard, and "Smart Detection" for higher timeframes.

Stop cluttering your charts with multiple indicators – Market Session Ultimate provides all the context you need in one powerful package.

🌟 Key Features

1. Complete Session Management (Updated) Visualize the four major market sessions (Sydney, Asia, London, New York) with fully customizable boxes.

• Precision Timing (New in v2.0): Set durations in exact HH:MM format (e.g., "08:30") to match specific exchange schedules perfectly. No more rounding to the nearest hour.
• Smart Detection (New in v2.0): Sessions now plot correctly on higher timeframes (like H4 or H1) even if the session start time doesn't match the candle open time. The indicator intelligently detects if a session starts inside a candle.
• Weekend/Crypto Ready: Full support for 24/7 markets. We removed the forced Friday gaps, allowing you to trade Saturday and Sunday sessions seamlessly.
• Customization: Choose unique colors, fill opacity, and line styles for each session. Label sessions exactly how you want (e.g., "Tokyo", "Frankfurt", "NYC").

2. Modern Info Dashboard (New UI) The old text info panel has been upgraded to a sleek, professional Dashboard with customizable background and border colors.

• Real-Time Data: Displays Pair, Spread, Current Session Name, and Session Range.
• Distance to H/L: See exactly how far price is from the session High or Low in pips.
• Smart Time Remaining: Shows exactly when the current session closes (e.g., "Ends in: 1h 25m"). This row automatically hides when no session is active to keep your chart clean.
• Daily Range: Tracks the current day's volatility.

3. Advanced Opening Ranges (OR) & Kill Zones

• Opening Range: Automatically plot the High/Low of the first X minutes (e.g., first 60 min) of any session. Crucial for breakout strategies.
• Global OR Toggle (New): Quickly show or hide all Opening Range lines with a single click without disabling the logic.
• Kill Zones (KZ): Highlight specific time windows within a session (e.g., London Open or NY overlap) where high volatility is expected.
• Overlap Highlight: Clearly visualize the high-liquidity London/New York overlap period with a distinct, customizable background color.

4. Previous Day Levels (PDL) - Enhanced Automatically plot the most important support/resistance levels from the previous day:

• Levels: Previous Day High (PDH), Low (PDL), Open (PDO), and Close (PDC).
• Visual Upgrades (v2.0): Labels are now Bold, clearly legible (positioned above/below lines to avoid strikethrough), and Dynamically Anchored to the current price action. No more scrolling back to the start of the day to see which line is which.
• Price Tags: Labels now display the exact price level (e.g., "PDH 1.0950").

🎨 Ultimate Customization & Usability

We believe in "Clean Charts." Version 2.0 gives you total control:

• Show/Hide High & Low Prices: Toggle off the text prices on session boxes for a minimalist look while keeping the visual zones.
• Smart Label Positioning: Independently set session names to the Top or Bottom of the box. Eliminate overlapping text when sessions like Sydney/Asia or London/New York intersect.
• Master Enable/Disable: Quickly toggle all indicator visuals on or off with a single click.
• History Limiter: Control how many past days of sessions are displayed (DaysToShow) to maximize platform performance.

⚙️ Important Note on Times & DST

Server Time Logic: All "Start Time" parameters (e.g., "08:00") are interpreted based on your Broker's Server Time. This ensures the indicator looks exactly the same on your chart regardless of your local time zone or computer clock settings.

Daylight Saving Time (DST): This indicator follows your broker's server time. However, financial centers (London, NY) shift their clocks for DST.

• You MUST manually adjust the "Start Time" parameters when DST changes affect your broker's server time relative to the market open.
• Example: If London opens at 10:00 Server Time in Winter, but 09:00 Server Time in Summer, you simply update the "London Start Time" parameter to match the current reality.

Why Market Session Ultimate?

This indicator consolidates the functionality of multiple tools – Session Boxes, Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicators, Daily Level pivots, and Market Dashboards – into one efficient, high-performance package. Gain deeper market context, identify key levels faster, and keep your charts cleaner.

Perfect for intraday traders focusing on session dynamics.
