Session Timers (MT4)
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. 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 the next session open/close for each market.
- Live progress bar while a session is active.
- Works on all timeframes (M1 to MN).
- Lightweight; updates every tick without blocking.
How to use
- Attach the indicator to any MT4 chart.
- Select time mode: Broker Time or UTC (or set a manual offset if required).
- Enable or disable specific sessions as needed.
- Adjust ribbon height, colors, font size, and opacity to fit your chart.
Inputs (core)
- Display_Timezone_Mode – 0 = Server, 1 = UTC, 2 = Manual offset.
- Local_Manual_Offset_Hours – manual UTC offset (e.g., +3.5).
- Auto_DST – auto daylight saving adjustment (true/false).
- Panel_Title / Show_Title – panel caption and visibility.
- Stick_To_Bottom / Panel_Offset_From_Bottom / Panel_Margin_X – placement near the bottom ribbon.
- Bar_Height / Bar_Max_Width – progress bar sizing.
- Name_Text_Height / Timer_Text_Height – text sizes.
- Panel_Background / Panel_Border / Text_Color / Timer_Text_Color – key colors.
Inputs (advanced, optional)
- Block_Inner_Pad_Y, Block_Inner_Pad_X, Separator_Width, Separator_Gap, Font_Scale.
- Separator_Color, Bar_BG_Color, Bar_BG_Alpha.

Notes
- No DLLs required; no external libraries.
- Countdowns are computed from the selected time mode (server time, UTC, or manual offset).
- Updates on every tick for real-time progress.
- This is a visualization tool. It does not open, manage, or close trades.
Limitations
- Accuracy depends on server time, tick arrival, DST changes, and holiday schedules.
- Adjust offsets if your broker’s schedule differs from standard session hours.
