Trading Sessions Time Indicator — Structure for Intraday Traders
The Trading Sessions Time Indicator is designed for forex traders who depend on timing, volatility cycles, and session behavior.
It gives a precise visual map of the global trading day, showing when the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions open and close, and automatically adjusts to your local timezone.
This provides immediate clarity on when liquidity increases, when overlaps occur, and when the market typically slows down.
It is a tool for traders who want structured timing, cleaner planning, and better intraday decision-making.
How to Download, Set Up, and Use
-
Install the indicator and apply it to any chart.
-
The session blocks will automatically adapt to your timezone.
-
Configure alerts for session openings or kill zones if needed.
-
Customize colors and display preferences to fit your workflow.
-
Use the indicator to align your strategy with the most active market periods.
Why This Indicator Exists
Most intraday traders fail because they trade during low-liquidity periods without realizing it.
This indicator solves that problem by clearly showing:
-
When volatility increases
-
When sessions overlap
-
When liquidity drops
-
When kill zones form for ICT-style execution
-
When the market is more likely to produce clean trends
One glance at the chart tells you if conditions are worth trading or if you should wait.

-
Tokyo, London, and New York session zones

Automatic timezone adjustment
-
Kill zone blocks for advanced timing
-
Alerts for session open
-
Overlap periods (London–New York, Tokyo–London)
-
Visual volatility expectations
