If you are tired of jumping from chart to chart or loading up a 1000 of currency pairs on restricted MetaTrader 4 terminal to see what are the best trading opportunities out of the Asian Session, then Sessions Indicator Scanner may be the perfect indicator for you.
Based on Steve Mauro's Forex training, the Sessions Indicator was developed to scan the entire Forex market at the opening of the London Session and the closing of the Asian Session. This can also be used for those who incorporate breakouts in their training. What the Sessions indicator does is track the amount of pips/points out of the Asian Session to the possible High or Low of the day based on the breakout of the Asian Session. Once the goal of pips/points is met, Sessions Indicator will alert you that the market has reached its goal you specified within Session Indicator settings.
Scenario
The market reset at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. This is known as the Asian Session to many traders. At this time, the Sessions Scanner Indicator also resets to zero on the dashboard. Once the Asian Session is completed, the Sessions Scanner Indicator begins to tracks the moves of the market outside of the Asian Session Range in points/pips. When the market reaches specified goal out side the Asian Range according the values set in the first, second goal input parameters, an alarm will sound indicating that the goal has been reached. The Session Indicator will continue track the movements of the market outside the Asian Range until it resets at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
Note
The Session Indicator only monitors and alerts you the trader of specific conditions that are met within the market and is not a signal service to alert you the trader to take any position within the markets.
