Sessions Full Markets [TradingFinder] Forex Stocks Index 7 Time🔵 Introduction
In global financial markets, particularly in FOREX and stocks, precise timing of trading sessions plays a crucial role in the success of traders. Each trading session—Asian, European, and American—has its own unique characteristics in terms of volatility and trading volume.
The Asian session (Tokyo), Sydney session, Shanghai session, European session (London and Frankfurt), and American session (New York AM and New York PM) are examples of these trading sessions, each of which opens and closes at specific times.
This session indicator also includes a Time Convertor, enabling users to view FOREX market hours based on GMT, UTC, EST, and local time. Another valuable feature of this indicator is the automatic detection of Daylight Saving Time (DST), which automatically applies time changes for the New York, London, and Sydney sessions.
🔵 How to Use
The indicator also displays session times based on the exact opening and closing times for each geographic region. Users can utilize this indicator to view trading hours either locally or in UTC time, and if needed, set their own custom trading times.
Additionally, the session information table includes the start and end times of each session and whether they are open or closed. This functionality helps traders make better trading decisions by using accurate and precise time data.
Key Features of the Session Indicator

Some of these features are :
• Automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) Detection : This indicator dynamically detects Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes for various trading sessions, including New York, London, and Sydney, without requiring manual adjustments. This feature allows traders to manage their trades without worrying about time changes.
Below are the start and end dates for DST in the New York, London, and Sydney trading sessions :
1. New York :
Start of DST: Second Sunday of March, at 2:00 AM.

End of DST: Last Sunday of October, at 2:00 AM.
3. Sydney :

End of DST: First Sunday of April, at 3:00 AM.
• Session Display Based on Different Time Zones : The session indicator allows users to view trading times based on different time zones, such as UTC, the local time of each market, or the user’s local time. This feature is especially useful for traders operating in diverse geographic regions.
• Custom Trading Time Setup : Another notable feature of this indicator is the ability to set custom trading times. Traders can adjust their own trading times according to their personal strategies and benefit from this flexibility.
• Session Information Table : The session indicator provides a complete information table that includes the exact start and end times of each trading session and whether they are open or closed. This table helps users simultaneously and accurately monitor the status of all trading sessions and make better trading decisions.

Newyork
B A N K $ - Advanced Session RangesThis is a simple indicator that has been designed to aid intraday trading and has a few components;
Key Features
Session Ranges + Optimal Exit Time
Asia Pip Range
New York Midnight Open Line
Session Ranges + Optimal Exit Time
Information ℹ️
This is a visual depiction of the 3 main sessions in the markets. Asia, London & New York. The default timings are set to perfectly align with each session however the Start & End times for each session can be changed in the settings. (I've added a website on the tooltip to easily convert timezones)
I have also added a 4th session range called "Optimal Exit Time". This is statistically the most probable time window for the opposite High / Low of Day to form is within this window. It helps the trader understand when they should look to take profit.
How It Works 🔑
The indicator automatically maps on two lines for the High & Low of the range between the selected Start & End time, it also colours the background.
The individual lines & background can be toggled & customised to the traders preference.
Asia Pip Range
Information ℹ️
This displays the Asia Range in pips beneath the Asia Session Low.
How It Works 🔑
This calculates the distance between the Asia High - Asia Low in pips. It will automatically recalibrate to the timings the trader sets in the settings if they change the Start / End.
New York Midnight Open Line
Information ℹ️
This helps look for Buys beneath the line for a Bullish Expansion day 📈 & Sells above the line for a Bearish Expansion day 📉
How It Works 🔑
This adds a horizontal line to the chart that is anchored to New York Midnight Open (00:00) by default. It can be changed in the settings in required. You can also toggle on the time being shown above the line.
Session TimesDescription:
This indicator simply when enabled will draw dashed lines at each of the session openings. This is based on UTC+1 Time. There will be lines at 00:00 & 08:00 (Asian Session), lines at 08:00 & 13:00 (London Session) and finally lines at 13:00 & 00:00 (New York Session).
Potential Use:
There are many ways you could use this indicator to benefit your trading, but the best way I find is that it makes it clear where the previous highs and lows are of a session, which are potential areas you could trade off. Obviously, there are many other ways you can use this to help you.
How The Script Works:
The way the script works isn't too complicated as it is only a short script. Simply it firstly calculates what are the weekdays (Whenever it isn't Saturday or Sunday). Then from there simply finds the times which I mentioned above, and adds a vertical dashed line there.
Future Updates:
In the future I will mainly be looking to make the indicator more customisable. Firstly, I will look to make it so that the user can adjust the times that the lines are drawn at so it still works wherever you are in the world. I would also like to make it so the user can choose the colour of the lines. If you have any other additions you would like added to this, then feel free to message me.
Sessions [TradingFinder] New York, London, Tokyo & Sydney ForexTiming is one of the influential factors in a trader's position. This indicator categorizes transactions into three sessions (Asia, Europe, and America). Five significant trading cities (New York, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Sydney) are selectable.
I recommend using the tool on a 5-minute time frame, but it is usable on all time frames.
Settings:
• Trading sessions: Display or hide each trading session as needed.
• Color: Change the color of each box.
• Session time intervals: The default is based on the main working hours for each time interval and can be adjusted.
• Information table: Delete or display additional information table.
Information Table:
• Trading sessions
• Opening and closing times of each trading session
How to Use:
Initiating trading sessions involves entering with increased liquidity, and the market usually experiences significant movements. Many trading strategies are based on "time" and "session openings." This tool empowers traders to focus intensely on each time interval.
These trading sessions are crucial for all Forex, stock, and index traders:
The total price ceiling and floor in the Asia session (Tokyo and Sydney) are crucial for traders in the European session.
The European session starts with Frankfurt, and an hour later, London begins, collectively forming the European session.
The dashboard provides additional information, displaying hours based on UTC.
Customization options are considered in all sections so that everyone can apply their own settings.
Important: Default times are the most accurate for each region, and in most indicators, this time is not correctly selected. Therefore, the level of influence and time intervals are specified at the beginning of each session. If you are using another indicator, match its default time to the announced time and share the results with me in the comments.
Sessions[Lenny Kiruthu]The script below is designed to show up to 4 different trading sessions i.e. London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney sessions, it also displays the days each session is taking place in as well as two horizontal lines one for the previous days high and the other for the previous days low.
It also displays a table that shows the user the highest and lowest price for 4 different currency pairs the previous day as well as their current prices and below it a confirmation row that shows whether price is currently above, below or within yesterdays range. Note that it only states "High Broken" or "Low Broken" if the current close is above or below the lines.

This tool is versatile and allows the user to perform a wide variety of tasks all focusing on highlighting and analyzing price movements within a specific user set session in a periodic fashion.
Significant forex trading sessions are used by default, but the users are free to choose the opening and closing time of their choices.
Using ranges can indicate which sessions returned the most volatile price movements.
Trendlines can be useful to estimate the underlying trend of a specific session, but they can also offer a quick way to see which session started a trend reversal.
The session Mean highlights the equilibrium level within a session, extrapolating these levels can provide potential support and resistances levels of interest.
Finally, users can use the sessions VWAP's for real time applications, using them as trailing supports and resistances.
Using The Advanced Dashboard
The advanced dashboard returns useful information regarding the user set sessions. Each dashboard elements are described below:
Status: Highlights whether the user set session is active (open) of inactive (closed).
Trend: Shows correlation coefficient between the session prices and a linear sequence of values. Values above 0 indicates an up-trending session, while values under 0 indicates a down-trending session. Values closer to (1, -1) indicates a more trending session.
Volume: Shows accumulated volume within the session
σ (Standard Deviation): Shows standard deviation of the session, while this value is not bounded it can be useful to compare it with the other ones to see which session was the most volatile.
Note that when a session becomes inactive the value on the dashboard will hold until the specific session becomes active again.

Simple Sessions## Background ##
Simple Sessions is based on the very awesome "Sessions on Chart" by Aurocks_AIF.
I really liked how the background colours worked but wanted to simplify it by removing some parts that I didn't use. I then simplified much of the code, put it into my standard template format and re-published. Hopefully the code is a bit cleaner and easier to read now.
## Usage ##
The default indicator shows the following sessions:
* Sydney in Navy
* Tokyo in Purple
* London in Green
* New York in Red
The good news is that using Green and Red for London and New York, gives a nice distinct yellow for the overlapping sessions. Sydney and Tokyo are by in similar colors by design.
By default, only London and New York show, but you may turn on Sydney and Tokyo in the settings.
