Forex Sessions [Fax Academy]

Forex Sessions [Fax Academy] — Precision Session Mapping for Professional Traders

Overview

• Highlights the four major FX sessions — Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York — directly on your chart.
  
• Kill Zones: high-impact windows around the session open (default 10 minutes).
  
• Timezone-aware with full DST support — sessions that cross midnight shade correctly.
  
• Engineered for clean intraday context, overlap visibility, and professional session-based execution.
  

What It Shows

• Kill Zones — bold-tinted windows around each session's open.
  
• Full Session Shading — lighter background for the entire active window.
  
• London–New York Overlap highlight for maximum-liquidity hours.
  

Inputs

• Timezone
  Exchange • UTC • Europe/London • America/New_York • Asia/Tokyo • Australia/Sydney
  Use Exchange to automatically align with instrument time.
  
• Per-Session Controls for Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York:
  
  • Kill Zone toggle + custom minutes (default 10)
    
  • Full Session toggle
    
  • Start/End hour (24h format)
    

How To Use

• Set the Timezone first — regional options auto-adjust for DST (London/New York).
  
• Enable Kill Zones to expose opening-volatility spikes and liquidity sweeps.
  
• Tune session hours to match your broker if schedules differ from the global standard.
  
• Watch the London–NY overlap for directional moves, breakouts, and trend continuation.
  

Practical Tips

• Intraday Bias: Favor setups inside or shortly after Kill Zones that align with higher-timeframe structure.
  
• Overlap Hours: Often produce the day’s key breakout/continuation legs.
  
• Combine with:
  
  • EMA [Fax Academy] — pullback precision inside session windows.
    
  • FVG [Fax Academy] — imbalance-based entries during high-liquidity periods.
    

Defaults

• Kill Zones: 10 minutes at each session open.
  
• Full sessions: standard global FX windows (fully adjustable).
  
• Color scheme: bold tint for Kill Zones, subtle tint for session ranges.
  

Notes

• Non-repainting — all shading is based on confirmed chart bars.
  
• Works on any instrument and any timeframe.
  
• If a session’s opening bar is missing (holiday/limited trading), shading is automatically skipped.
