Trading Sessions FX with DST

Trading Sessions FX with Automatic DST automatically draws the four major Forex trading sessions directly on your chart using clean border-only boxes that accurately surround each session's price action.

The indicator automatically handles Daylight Saving Time (DST) for Sydney, London, and New York, while also detecting your broker's GMT offset. No manual calculations are required—session boxes always appear exactly where they should.

Key Features

✔ Four Major Trading Sessions

Display any combination of:

• Sydney

• Tokyo

• London

• New York

Each session can be enabled or disabled independently.

✔ Automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST)

The indicator automatically applies official DST rules for:

• London

• New York

• Sydney

Session times remain accurate throughout the year without requiring any user adjustments.

✔ Automatic Broker GMT Offset Detection

The indicator detects your broker's server GMT offset automatically and converts all session times accordingly.

No manual setup is required for standard brokers.

✔ Manual GMT Offset Override

For brokers using non-standard server times, you can manually specify the GMT offset in minutes.

✔ Real Session Price Boxes

Each session box automatically expands to include the highest high and lowest low formed during that trading session.

The result is a clear visual representation of the entire trading range.

✔ Active Session Highlight

• Current session displayed with a bold border

• Completed sessions shown with dimmed borders

• Optional preview of upcoming sessions

✔ Session Labels

Each box displays the session name above it using bold, easy-to-read text.

✔ Clean Chart Appearance

Only border lines are drawn.

No background filling is used, allowing candles and indicators to remain fully visible.

✔ Information Panel

Optional information panel displays:

• Current server time

• Detected broker GMT offset

• Today's trading session schedule

• Displayed in your selected timezone

✔ Timeframe Filter

Optimized for:

• M1

The limitation can be disabled if you wish to use the indicator on all timeframes.

✔ Automatic Redrawing

Session boxes appear automatically at the exact opening of each trading session and continue expanding in real time as new candles are formed.

Each session is anchored to its local market hours:

The indicator automatically converts these local trading hours into your broker's server time using:

• Official DST rules

• Current UTC offset of each financial center

• Automatically detected broker GMT offset

As a result, session boxes always begin on the correct candle regardless of broker or season.

By default, all session times and the information panel are displayed using your broker's server time.

Alternatively, you can display times using any fixed GMT offset.

Example:

• GMT+9 (Japan / Korea)

• GMT+2

• GMT−5

This is controlled through the Display Offset from GMT input parameter.
