Session High Low - Asian, London and New York Range Boxes - MetaTrader 5 için gösterge

Session High Low draws the three main trading sessions on the chart: Asia, London and New York. Each session is shown as a colored box from its start to its end, covering the session's high and low. After a session closes, dotted lines extend its high and low for a few hours, so you can see at a glance where a breakout or a retest happens.

Why it is useful

• The Asian range is the classic reference for London breakout strategies.
• The London high and low are often retested or broken during the New York session.
• The size of each range (in points, shown in the tooltip) tells you how quiet or volatile a session was.

Features

• Three sessions, each with its own on/off switch, start and end time and box color.
• Sessions that cross midnight are handled automatically (for example 22:00 - 07:00).
• The high and low are taken from M5 data, so the ranges are identical on M1, M5, M15, M30 and H1 charts.
• Labels with the session name, high and low. The New York label is placed under its box so it does not overlap London.
• Hover over a box to see the session high, low and range in points.
• The current session box keeps growing live as new highs or lows are made.
• Weekends and holidays are skipped automatically.
• Hidden on timeframes above the chosen maximum to keep higher timeframe charts clean.

Important: session times are in broker server time (the time shown in Market Watch). The defaults (Asia 02:00 - 10:00, London 10:00 - 18:00, New York 15:00 - 23:00) suit brokers whose server runs at GMT+3 in summer. If your broker uses a different server time, shift all times by the difference.
