Trading Session Countdown Panel London New York Asian Timer
A live countdown to every session open and close, on your chart. One row per session — Asian, London and New York by default — showing OPEN or closed and a running HH:MM:SS countdown to the close when open, or to the next open when closed. The row turns to a warning colour when a session is within N minutes of closing.Know Exactly When the Market Moves — Session Timing Made Visual
Most traders know “London open at 08:00 UTC” but few track it precisely across every session, every day. This panel puts all four major sessions + kill zones on your chart with live countdowns, so you never miss the volatility windows that drive prop firm accounts.
What You See (At a Glance)
Four Session Boxes (Color-Coded):
| Session | Default Time (UTC) | Color | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | 22:00–07:00 | Green | Asia open, low vol |
| Tokyo | 00:00–09:00 | Blue | Asia continuation |
| London | 08:00–17:00 | Yellow | High vol, trend starts |
| New York | 13:00–22:00 | Red | Highest vol, reversals |
Kill Zone Highlights (The Money Hours):
- London Kill Zone: 08:00–09:00 UTC — Open drive, false breakouts
- NY Kill Zone: 13:00–14:00 UTC — Open drive, continuation/reversal
- Overlap Kill Zone: 13:00–16:00 UTC — Highest volume, tightest spreads
Countdown Timers:
- Time until next session opens
- Time until current session closes
- Time until next kill zone
- All in HH:MM:SS format, updates every second

Why Session Timing Matters for Prop Firms
| Session | Prop Firm Risk | What This Panel Does |
|---|---|---|
| London Open (08:00) | Spreads 3–5x, false moves | Countdown + kill zone highlight |
| NY Open (13:00) | Volatility spike, reversals | Countdown + kill zone highlight |
| Overlap (13:00–16:00) | Highest volume, best trends | Overlap zone highlighted |
| Asian (00:00–08:00) | Low vol, range-bound | Visual session box, avoid overtrading |
Use Case: Reduce position size 50% during kill zones (London/NY open) — this panel tells you exactly when they start/end.
