Simple Trading Sessions
This indicator highlights the major global trading sessions (Tokyo, London, and New York) directly on your chart with clean background shading.
Tokyo Session (default 00:00–09:00 exchange time)
London Session (default 07:00–16:00 exchange time)
New York Session (default 12:30–21:00 exchange time)
Each session is displayed as a different shaded block, making it easy to:
Spot when the market is most active.
Identify overlapping periods (e.g., London–New York overlap).
Backtest strategies that depend on session timing.
⚙️ How to Use
Add the indicator to any intraday chart.
Adjust session times in the settings panel to match your broker or preferred timezone.
Use the shading to guide your trading around regional liquidity zones.
✅ Notes
By default, session times follow the chart’s exchange timezone.
You can change the inputs to match your own session definitions.
Very lightweight and designed for traders who want a simple, uncluttered session map without extra calculations.
