World Clock and Forex Session Timing Across Time Zones

Summary

This chart indicator displays a digital and analog clock for a selected city or exchange time zone. It offers a broad set of locations and uses IANA time zones, with daylight saving changes handled automatically. The clock is intended to help traders read local market time while viewing a chart.

An optional session display marks the open or closed status of the Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York forex sessions. Appearance settings control the clock style, colors, size, and animation. The document describes a chart utility rather than an entry, exit, or forecasting method, and it gives no performance tests or evidence that clock displays improve trading outcomes. Session hours are coded in the script, so traders should check whether its definitions match the hours and instruments they follow, particularly around holidays or local schedule changes.

Key ideas

• The indicator shows local time for a selected city or the chart exchange.
• Its IANA time zone choices account automatically for daylight saving changes.
• An optional display reports open or closed status for four major forex sessions.
• The tool provides time context and does not generate or validate trading signals.
