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)

1. Attach QX SessionBox ORB to your chart.
2. Set Session UTC Offset to match your intended session hours.
3. Choose ORB Minutes (common: 15, 30, 60).
4. While ORB is building, the panel shows building. After that it becomes ready.
5. Use ORB levels as structure:
6. • 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)
6. (Optional) Enable Plot Signals:
7. • CrossOnly (default): candle closes beyond ORB boundary
   • State: confirms when price transitions into a bullish/bearish state
7. (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.”
