Session Countdown Panel

Know exactly how much time the current trading session has left, and when the next one opens, without doing timezone maths in your head.

This panel sits on your chart and shows one row per session. Each row tells you whether that session is OPEN or closed, and gives you a live countdown in hours, minutes and seconds to its close when it is open, or to its next open when it is closed. When a session is close to ending, its row switches to a warning colour so you get a visual heads up before liquidity drops.

WHAT IT SHOWS

- One row per session, three by default: Asian, London and New York

- OPEN or closed state at a glance, with a separate colour for each

- Live countdown to the session close, or to the next session open

- A warning colour on the row when a session is within your chosen number of minutes of closing

ALERTS

- Optional notification on every session open and every session close

- Popup alert, push notification to your phone, email, or sound file, each switchable on its own

SETUP AND FLEXIBILITY

- All session names, start times and end times are inputs, given in server time

- Sessions that cross midnight, for example 23:00 to 08:00, are handled correctly

- Any session can be switched off if you only track one or two

- Panel corner, X and Y offset, font, font size and all three colours are configurable

INPUTS

Session 1, 2 and 3: name, enabled, start hour, start minute, end hour, end minute. Panel X, panel Y, panel corner, panel font and font size. Colours for the open, closed and warning states. Warning minutes. Alert on open and alert on close. Use popup, use push notification, use email, use sound, and the sound file name.

NOTES

- Times are entered in SERVER time, not your local time. Check your broker server clock once when you set it up.

- Push notifications require a MetaQuotes ID configured in your terminal.

- This is a chart information panel. It does not open, close or manage trades.
