Market Sessions Chart Indicator for Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York

Summary

This document describes a chart indicator that marks the Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York trading sessions. Users can set each session’s start and end hours and choose its display color. Other controls set the session area height, whether session names appear, label font settings, and whether vertical lines mark session starts. The indicator is intended to make trading-hour boundaries visible directly on a price chart.

The document gives configuration details rather than a trading strategy or market study. It states that the indicator works on hourly charts and lower timeframes; switching to a higher timeframe triggers a warning and returns the chart to hourly. It provides no evidence that session markings improve returns, and does not explain how hours should be adjusted for time zones, daylight-saving changes, or instruments that trade nearly around the clock. Its practical value is chart organization and visual context, while any strategy based on session behavior would need separate testing.

Key ideas

• The indicator displays Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York sessions on a price chart.
• Users can configure session hours, colors, area height, labels, and session-start lines.
• It is limited to hourly and lower chart timeframes.
• The description documents display controls but presents no trading signals or performance evidence.
• Time-zone and daylight-saving settings may need attention when configuring session hours.
