Session Timers

Session Timers adds a clean ribbon at the bottom of the chart showing the time until open and time until close for major FX sessions. While a session is open, a progress bar fills in real time. Vertical separators also mark session open and close directly on the chart. This is a charting utility; it does not provide trading signals and does not guarantee any profit.

Sessions covered

• Sydney
• Tokyo
• Frankfurt
• London
• New York

Main functions

• Countdown to each session’s next open/close.
• Live progress bar during active sessions.
• Vertical open/close lines on the chart.
• Works on all timeframes; lightweight and responsive.

How to use

1. Attach to any MT5 chart.
2. Select time mode: server time, UTC, or manual offset.
3. Optionally show/hide the vertical separators.
4. Adjust ribbon size, text, and colors to fit your chart.
