Stancel Tempo
- Indicateurs
-
Eduardo Jose Rodriguez Urdaneta
I build trading tools for MetaTrader 5, focused on the two things most people
ignore until they hurt: time, and account risk.
Stancel Tempo started from a simple question —where in the forex day am I?—
and from finding that no indicator answered it: your broker's clock is not the - Version: 1.0
Every session is drawn on the clock your broker is really using, and the strip says which one it is: Server GMT+3, US DST on, EU DST on. The offset is measured from the price history of your own symbol, week by week, not typed into a box.
Stancel Tempo draws one strip across the top of the chart and answers one question: where you are in the trading day, and what comes next. It gives no signals, makes no predictions and suggests no entries.
What the strip shows
- The whole day as one bar: Tokyo, London and New York, the dead zone of the New York afternoon and the rollover. The open session is highlighted. Where two sessions overlap, their colours add up.
- The London and New York killzones on their own line. Both start one hour before their session opens, which is when the move that prepares the open happens.
- The economic releases of medium and high impact, marked on the same bar at their time.
- A live countdown to the second: when the open session closes, or when the next one opens. At the weekend it counts down to the Sunday open.
- The next release, its currency and how long until it comes out.
- A countdown to the close of the current candle.
- The New York clock and the time model described above.
- The range of the live session, with a small gauge that shows whether price sits near the high or the low.
What is drawn on the chart
- The sessions shaded over the candles, each candle with the offset and the daylight saving of its own date. Shading does not shift by one hour after a clock change. Fill or edges only.
- The high and low of the previous Asian, London and New York sessions and of the previous day, as lines that run until price touches them and stop there. Computed from M1 data, the same on any timeframe.
- One custom session with minute precision, for example the NYSE from 09:30 to 16:00 New York time, in the time zone you choose.
Alerts, all off until you switch them on
- When a session opens or closes, when a killzone starts or ends, and N minutes before a release, filtered by impact and by the currencies of the chart.
- Channels: popup, sound, push notification to the MetaTrader app on your phone, and email.
- No alert fires when the indicator is attached, and none is repeated.
Clock changes
Europe and the United States do not change their clocks on the same day. For two or three weeks a year the London to New York gap is four or six hours instead of five. Tempo computes each session in its own city's time with its own daylight saving rule, and says so on the strip during those weeks.
Everything can be configured
Colours, shading strength and style, and what is shown, from the indicator properties. Four ready-made palettes: Stancel, Graphite, Amber and Neon. New York is blue in all four. The strip follows the chart background and switches to a light theme on light charts.
What it does not do
- It does not trade, and it cannot: MetaTrader gives an indicator no access to the trading functions.
- It does not go online. The economic calendar is read from the terminal.
- No DLLs.
- It does not read your account, your balance or your trades.
Free and complete
There is no paid version of Tempo and nothing is locked. It will not make you money: it is a map of the day, and what you do with it is up to you.
What's next
- 1.100: alerts when price breaks the session range or reaches a previous high or low.
- 1.200: several custom sessions and saved profiles per chart.
- 1.300: the actual figure of a release against the forecast, on the strip.
- 1.400: how this pair has behaved in each session over the last weeks.
