The Trading Sessions indicator shows the most significant trading sessions for the Forex market, such as London, New York and Asian.
The sessions are presented as colored boxes on the chart, thereby clearly indicating open and close times of a particular session, as well as its trading range.

Traders normally use trading sessions to determine the volatile hours throughout the day, since the trading activities vary from one stock exchange to another.

There are also strategies aiming only at the opening of the London session or those that allow trading only during the Asian session.
