AG Session Box — Asian, London & New York Trading Sessions with Auto GMT Detection
AG Session Box is a high-performance, non-repainting session visualization indicator designed for intraday traders, ICT/SMC practitioners, and breakout specialists on MetaTrader 5. It automatically plots the three major trading sessions—Asian, London, and New York—directly on your chart using clean, customizable background boxes.
Equipped with an intelligent broker-to-GMT offset detection engine, AG Session Box eliminates the common headache of manual timezone calculations. Built using efficient incremental bar processing, it delivers zero tick lag and leaves no residual chart objects upon removal.
KEY FEATURES
- Visualizes 3 Major Global Sessions:
* Asian Session (Tokyo/Sydney: 00:00 – 09:00 GMT)
* London Session (European Open: 07:00 – 16:00 GMT)
* New York Session (US Open & London Overlap: 12:00 – 21:00 GMT)
- Intelligent GMT Auto-Detection: Automatically calculates your broker's server time offset relative to GMT, with optional manual override.
- Ultra-Low CPU Footprint: Incremental calculation engine updates only on bar changes or real-time high/low breakouts.
- Clean Chart Management: Unique object namespace ensures 100% clean chart deinitialization without orphan rectangles.
- Fully Customizable Appearance: Individual toggle, color selection, background fill, and border width for each session.
- Automatic History Management: Configurable lookback period (default 20 days) and automated memory pruning keep charts fast and responsive.
