Plotting Tokyo, London, and New York Trading Sessions
Summary
This indicator marks the opening and closing periods of the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions beneath a price chart. It uses specified clock times to switch each market's display state on and off, then draws a labeled colored marker while that session is active. The intended use is to make the current session visible at a glance.
The example gives session times and describes labels and colors for the three markets. It is a charting aid rather than a trading signal: the document offers no evidence that session markers improve decisions or performance. The stated times are fixed, and the excerpt does not explain the chart's time zone, daylight-saving adjustments, or how to adapt the schedule across instruments and platforms. Those details matter when interpreting session boundaries, especially for markets whose local clock changes seasonally.
Key ideas
- The indicator displays active Tokyo, London, and New York sessions beneath the price chart.
- Each session is switched on and off at configured opening and closing times.
- Labels and colors help distinguish the three sessions visually.
- The tool supplies timing context but does not define an entry or exit strategy.
- The time zone and daylight-saving handling are not specified.
