What is the Market Sessions Indicator?
The Market Sessions indicator is custom technical indicator intended to help traders identify the market session they are trading in. This should allow traders to trade strategies that are in line with the characteristics of the market they are trading in with regards to volatility, momentum, trends, activity, volume, and more.
How the Market Sessions Indicator Works?
The Market Sessions indicator identifies three market sessions – the Asian session (Tokyo open), European session (London open), and the US session (New York open). These are the major markets that traders trade in.
The Market Session indicator has predetermined the time that these markets would open and close and has set the time according to the broker’s server.
The indicator then marks these sessions with boxes as backgrounds marking the open and close of the session, as well as the range of the session.
The Asian session is marked by a goldenrod colored box. The European session is marked by a tan box. The New York session is marked by a pale green box.
Market session times do change because of changes in daylight saving time. Because of this, the indicator allows traders to change the timing of the open and close of the sessions. It also allows traders to change the color of the boxes representing each session.
