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.

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.

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.
