FREE — shades the Tokyo, London and New York trading sessions as high–low boxes directly on your intraday chart, so you always see which market is driving the price.
100% free, no limitations. If it earns a place on your charts, a short review is the one thing that helps us most — it takes 30 seconds and it is what lets other traders find this tool.
=== WHAT IT DRAWS ===
- One box per session per day: the box spans the session's hours and its exact high–low range.
- Tokyo (default steel blue), London (default sea green), New York (default indian red).
- The last 15 days by default, configurable via InpDaysBack.
- Each session can be toggled on/off individually; boxes can be filled or outline-only.
- The current session's box grows in real time up to the current bar; redraws happen once per bar, so the chart stays light.
=== WHY TRADERS USE IT ===
Session structure is half of intraday context: the Tokyo range often becomes the box London breaks out of, and the London/New York overlap is where most of the day's volatility lives. Seeing 15 days of session boxes at once also makes it obvious which sessions actually move your symbol — and which ones you can skip.
=== SETTINGS ===
- InpDaysBack (default 15): days of history to draw.
- Start/end hour for each session, in broker server time (0–24).
- InpShowTokyo / InpShowLondon / InpShowNY: toggle each session.
- Colours and box fill are configurable.
=== HONEST NOTE ===
Session hours are specified in your broker's server time, and you must check them for your broker. The defaults (Tokyo 2–11, London 10–19, New York 15–24) assume a common GMT+2/+3 style server; if your broker uses a different offset, shift the hours accordingly — the indicator cannot detect this for you, and daylight-saving changes may need a manual adjustment twice a year. The tool is meant for intraday timeframes (M1–H1); on H4 and above the boxes lose their meaning.
