Daymark Session Timer
- 指标
- 版本: 1.0
Daymark Session Timer combines three small tools in one light indicator: a countdown to the candle close, the Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions as soft boxes on the chart, and the previous day high and low. A small panel shows the countdown, which session is open, the spread and the server time. The indicator never trades.
Two problems it solves
1. Session boxes in the wrong place. Brokers use different GMT offsets and change them with daylight saving, and the cities change on other dates. Daymark Session Timer measures the broker offset from the terminal (server time minus GMT), knows the daylight saving rules of each city and draws the sessions in broker server time. There is no fixed offset to maintain.
2. Three indicators for three small jobs. Countdown, sessions and the previous day levels usually come from separate tools. Here they come from one indicator that redraws once per second and on new bars only, and removes only its own objects.
Functions
- Candle countdown in the panel and next to the price, with an optional sound X seconds before the close. Shows "market closed" when no ticks arrive.
- Four sessions with open and close in their own local time and daylight saving. Names, times, time zones and colours are inputs.
- Session boxes from high to low with the name above, for 1 to 5 days, hidden above a timeframe you choose (default H1). The fill stops where the next session opens, so overlapping sessions stay readable.
- In the panel: open or closed for each session, with the time until close or until the next open.
- Previous day high and low as thin lines with small labels.
- Spread in points and server time with the measured GMT offset.
- Light and dark design chosen from the chart background, panel corner, scale and language (English or German) as inputs. A button folds the panel to a one-line countdown.
Quick start
1. Attach the indicator to any chart. The panel appears in the top right corner.
2. Check the server time line: it shows the GMT offset that was measured. If your broker does not follow US daylight saving, set the input "Daylight saving of the broker".
3. Change session names, times or colours in the inputs if you trade other hours.
FAQ
Does it trade?
No. It reads prices and draws objects, nothing else. No DLL, no web requests, no files.
Does it work in the Strategy Tester?
Yes, in visual and non-visual mode. The tester has no real GMT clock, so the broker offset comes from the input "Broker GMT offset in winter" (default 2, US daylight saving).
What does the Pro version add?
Daymark Chart Companion adds the countdown for M5 to D1, the average range of each session, week and month levels, today open, Asian range, round numbers, the day range against ATR, your own event times, popup and push alerts, and a panel you can drag and fold by section.
Important
This is an information tool. It does not predict the market and does not give trade signals. Session times depend on the server time of your broker and on the correct daylight saving setting. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of loss.
