Hey fellow traders! Today, I want to introduce you to a nifty tool that can help you optimize your trading strategy: the i-Sessions Indicator for MetaTrader 5. This indicator is designed to color-code the eight major trading sessions using rectangles, making it easier for you to visualize market activity.
Understanding the Trading Sessions
Each trading session is defined by specific start and end times, which you can customize through the indicator's input parameters. Here’s how you can set it up:
//+-----------------------------------+ //| INDICATOR INPUT PARAMETERS | //+-----------------------------------+ input int NumberOfDays=50; input string S1Begin ="00:55"; input string S1End ="03:55"; input color S1Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S2Begin ="03:55"; input string S2End ="06:55"; input color S2Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S3Begin ="06:55"; input string S3End ="09:55"; input color S3Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S4Begin ="09:55"; input string S4End ="12:55"; input color S4Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S5Begin ="12:55"; input string S5End ="15:55"; input color S5Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S6Begin ="15:55"; input string S6End ="18:55"; input color S6Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S7Begin ="18:55"; input string S7End ="21:55"; input color S7Color =clrDarkSlateGray; input string S8Begin ="21:55"; input string S8End ="23:55"; input color S8Color =clrDarkSlateGray;
Where It All Started
This indicator originally made its debut in MQL4 and was published on mql4.com back on September 26, 2007. Since then, it's been a go-to tool for many traders looking to enhance their strategies.
