Session Box Hours draws rectangular session windows on the chart for Asia, London, and New York. Each box uses the high and low of bars that fall inside the configured time range. It is a visual context tool only — it does not send orders or generate entry signals. What it does - Three sessions: Asia, London, New York (each on/off + hours/minutes + color) - Time base: broker/server clock or GMT hours with Broker GMT offset - Overnight sessions (end ≤ start) span into the next day - History depth via Days Back (default 10) - Optional fill and session name labels - Objects cleaned on remove (prefix SBX100_) Default hours (GMT template) - Asia 00:00–09:00 - London 07:00–16:00 - New York 12:00–21:00 Set Broker GMT offset to your broker’s GMT+N when using the GMT time base, or switch to server time and enter hours in server time directly. Who it is for - Discretionary traders who want a clear session overlay - A free companion to risk and execution tools (for example Risk Lot Calculator or Risk Trade Panel) Requirements - MetaTrader 5 - Attach to any symbol/timeframe you watch (M15–H1 usually clearest) How to use 1. Attach SessionBoxes to a chart. 2. Choose time base (GMT + offset or server hours). 3. Enable the sessions you need and adjust hours/colors. 4. Use boxes as time context only — not a complete trading system. Notes - Defaults are a common FX template, not a guarantee of exchange hours. - Adjust hours to your broker’s session definition. - No profit guarantee. Session boxes are visual context only.
