Important Note on Session Time Configuration for VWAP Session Bands:
The VWAP Session Bands indicator automatically uses your MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform's server time as the default for session calculations. To ensure consistency and align with the standard GMT 00:00 session start (commonly used for daily resets in trading), please adjust the session start time manually:
- Open the indicator settings in MT5.
- Locate the "Session Start Hour" and "Session Start Minute" inputs.
- If your Broker follows GMT 00.00 , Set "Session Start Hour" to 0 and "Session Start Minute" to 0 to represent GMT 00:00. (e.g., EXNESS)
- Or, Verify your broker's server time offset from GMT (e.g., if your server is on EST, it’s GMT-5, so no adjustment is needed beyond 00:00 unless your chart is adjusted differently). e.g. IC Markets needs input Session Start Hour 3
- Apply the settings and test on your chart to confirm the session begins at the intended GMT 00:00.
Why This Matters: Aligning the session start to GMT 00:00 ensures the VWAP calculation resets at the global market open, matching institutional standards and avoiding discrepancies due to local server time zones. If your broker’s server time differs from GMT, you may need to offset the start time accordingly (e.g., subtract hours if your server is ahead of GMT).
For best results, check your broker’s time zone in the MT5 terminal (under "Market Watch" or "Tools > Options") and adjust accordingly. This step is crucial for accurate VWAP and band continuity across sessions.
