Hello,

Anyone know a similar indicator like this one that can be done on a daily time frame for the purpose of highlighting a section of time say for example:

Draw a color vertical rectangle highlighting the range between every March 10th to May 10th of every year infinitely backward and forward.

Regards.

Hi Readers,

I am looking for an indicator that will give me the Average Session Range in pips for the past 10 sessions for a specific time period that I enter.

Session to be determined by entering a start time and end time. (Not london, new york or asian sessions).

I want to pick a time to start and a time to end.

I can enter a start time and end time to establish the time of day to measure the range and then give me the average of the 10 sessions combined.


Thanks.

P.S. It might look like a common ADR indicator readout. But would be an ASR indicator

{quote} Attached version allows you to set different start/end times for the 3 sessions. That's as far as I'm willing to take these indicators, at least for now. {file}

Hello!

Do you have the modern version of this indi by any chance? This one won't load on chart.

Make sure that you've downloaded all files in the Libraries folder in post #60, and have 'Allow DLL imports' checked on.
If that doesn't fix the problem, you'll need to find another sessions indicator, there are plenty of them around!

Putting TZDBHelper.dll into Libraries did help.

Still not what I'm looking for.

Thank you anyway.

Hi Hanover. I appreciate anyone that spends the time to create these indicators, because I as hell sure can't do it. Nuff respect to you brother.
The best looking session indi I've seen that doesn't swallow up my charts with rainbow colors
I tried installing your session indi, but it's not opening in my charts Oanda MT4. I am missing something?

Not sure which sessions indicator you're referring to, I've written about 6 of them.

If you're referring to the indicator in post #49, then delete the MQ4 file and use only the EX4 file. Then restart MT4. The MQ4 was written prior to build 600 and will not compile or run correctly on the latest MT4 builds.

If you're referring to the indicators in post #55, then make sure that you have the DLL file (which is included in the zip file) installed in the .../MQL4/Libraries folder.
Make sure you are using the latest version of the indicator, i.e. there may be an updated version later in the thread.

I don't recall any other problems, but the posts are 4 years old, and my ageing memory is not perfect.

Back in the days when non US residents could use US brokers, I attempted to open an MT4 account with Oanda but had problems with their MT4, so I ditched them. However, it was many years ago. But you could try running the indicators on a different MT4 platform, it would tell you whether the problem exists within the indicator or the platform.

[quote=hanover;10507052]{quote} Not sure which sessions indicator you're referring to

Thanks for the feedback. I tried your instructions, but maybe because Oanda US markets are closed that it's not working.

1 ) Your indi on post 165 is what I really wanted to try. Ver Clean setup and easy on the eyes.

2) Post 49 says:

  1. DL ex4 (excluding mq4 per your recent instructions). Done.
  2. And put "extensible fx's" and "fx headers" into the MT4/experts folder. Done.

The results give me the dotted session frame" box, but unsure if the name of the market is supposed to be displayed like post 165.

3) Post 55 is blank for me maybe because the markets are closed.

I'll keep trying. Maybe I have my setup wrong, or maybe I need to try loading your indi when the market is open. If not, I'll keep searching for a clean market session indi like the one you posted in 165.
Thanks for your time Hanover!

Latest version of that indicator is attached below. The only files you need are the EX4 file (in your ...../MQL4/Indicators folder) and the DLL file (unzip the attached file into your ...../MQL4/Libraries folder). Then restart MT4, attach the indicator to your chart, and check 'Allow DLL imports' ON as shown in post #165. You need a valid time descriptor value in MT4TimeDescriptor (e.g. GMT,+7), as explained in post #55. Then you should get the result shown in post #165, as I did. That was obtained using Pepperstone MT4 build 1090 and Windows 7 Home Premium edition SP1. The indicator uses Tokyo, Berlin (start), London (end) and New York time zones to obtain the times for the Asian, European, and US sessions (you then specify the StartHour and EndHour for each session, that you require -- see screenshot below).

I can't think of anything else, it's the best I can do without actually seeing your computer.

It's probably my machine, but I was only able to get the color to assign the market session, which is fine.
GMT,-5 aligns the market sessions by color; and color is all I need as a guide
Thanks for all your help Hanover!

I can see green, red and blue sessions plotted in your screenshot, if I look hard enough. Try pressing F8 and setting the chart background to Black on White:

Of course you can stay with the black background, if you prefer it, and just make the colors of the boxes lighter:

Added input string for SessionDisplays. Change the 1 to 0 for no display. {file}
This indicator is brilliant and exactly what I was looking for. I was just wondering if you could modify it (if it's a simple thing to do) so that the session between Friday and Sunday is shown as ONE box instead of 2. If you have a session from 10pm to 6am, for example, on Friday and Sunday it splits this into 2 sessions: Friday 22:00 - 24:00 and Sunday 00:00 - 06:00. Is this an easy fix?

Thanks in advance

Was surfing and came across this thread. Quick skim no time for detail. The below may be on use. Plain and simple it projects the next session open further up the chart. Time format is hh:mm so can set to any time on the hour and past the hour.
Updated - six session vertical lines - see Vertical Time Lines indicator - https://www.mql5.com/en/users/file45/publications

Forex Market Hours GMT v3.0-B - ALTERNATE VERSION (Always check through to end of thread for latest version. You can search each thread page by "Forex Market Hours GMT".) {image} On some monitors, such as my friend's laptop, v3.0 did not display correctly. The colored session bars did not line up with the horizontal background lines. I changed the graphics method (code) to fix that. Hopefully it will look right on all monitors now. No other changes. Note: If it still does not look right for you, send me a Private Message. Big Be {file}
Very nice indi Big Be.

Any chance you can add a bit of code to allow it to be displayed sub window?
