I have been trading for some time now and always find it a difficulty remembering the timing of the various market opening hours at the other part of the world (especially, when it comes to daylight saving), but could not find any decent indicator online that could help. And it is for this reason that gives birth to this indicator, which I have spent much time, effort and thinking.
As many already know that opening of a certain marketplace, depending on which currency pair, has an impact on the price movement. As such, with this indicator on the MT4 platform, gives the trader a sense of confidence in the market time aspect, which is vital when performing manual trading.
Also, this indicator has the option of displaying open hours time bar, event time line and event label for each of the 7 market places allowable. With a built-in time zone function, computation and conversion of the broker server time for each market location is swiftly and handles the daylight saving dynamically. Optimization of the code was made to give this indicator a responsive feel. So, users of this indicator could trade with an ease of mind, timely.
