Auto Sessions v2.61: - Fixed bug: The "tall/short sessions" problem still occurs on custom timeframes, so the "redrawing" will be done only on custom timeframes. - Fixed bug: If downloading new bars that begin before today's midnight, that first day's sessions may be too short. This will probably be the last update, unless there are new feature requests. {file} {file}

Implemented!

Wow miracle worker ! Thanks ! so efficient. So this is how I have my chart. I would like to know if there is a way to cut off the frame. I just dont want to see it. And also to have the ability to see this just for 1 day or 2 days or a week.

Yes, this seems potentially very useful to some folks. If I understand right, it's now been implemented below. Thanks for the suggestions!

Please note that the session names can be changed (e.g., to "T" or anything else, as long as they are all unique).

I think that only showing the sessions during certain days of the week, may make the indicator look confusing or unreliable in some cases for some folks; it seems to kind of disagree with the whole purpose of the indicator, which is to show the daily sessions.



Auto_Sessions v2.8:

- New input: "ShowBoxes", which allows to show only the Name or Pips, with no Box.

- Changed the name of the input ""FillSessions" to ""FillBoxes".

- Added "markethours.net" link in the About box. (Thanks to FXAficionada for the tip!)

That's a cool idea. I'm not sure how many other users would use this feature, so it kind of feels beyond the scope of this particular indicator.

I'm sure ya could hire an indicator/MQL programmer who'd be happy to code that up.

Thanks Mike,
Great work yet again. Here's my setup (.set file attached). I just made one change in the code to remove the " pips" tags, maybe others want this as an option..?

I think so, too! Very clean look. Implemented, below.



Auto_Sessions v2.9:

- New input: "PipsWord", which allows to show or hide " pips" after the pips.

- " pips" will be singular, " pip", when the number is <=1 .

Hi Mike,
Thanks again for implementing that tweak for me!
I've come up with another idea for the next version, actually related to what egoli55 has posted above, provided he's asking you to implement the zone clocks shown in the post he's linked to, not too sure exactly what he's asking for there..
Anyway, I see you can draw on the future area of the chart showing the current session closes, could you also show the next session to open, possibly with a countdown timer as in my mock-up?
If possible to do this, I thought it might be better to format the time as ##h ##m to ensure it doesn't get mistaken for a pip count, which I thought might happen for some people if it looked like my mock-up (I just used the numbers already in the image to make this).
If the countdown timer is too much work and you can add the next session marker that would be great.
I also couldn't decide if it would look better to have the next session marker continue from the current one, or drop down off the chart, hence both are drawn and the '?'. I think now I'm probably leaning towards it continuing from the current session for a cleaner look..

cheers, drayzen

That is a really nifty possibility . I just can't find a way to make it satisfyingly consistent with everything else, with nothing misleading to the eyes. The best I can see is to have a vertical line always (even if sessions are 'Filled'), with a countdown floating at the same height as the current session name. But even that just seems kind of not right visually somehow. What do you think honestly? And anyone else, too. I'd love to find a way to make this work.

But even that just seems kind of not right visually somehow. What do you think honestly? And anyone else, too. I'd love to find a way to make this work.
I just went to mock it up again and realised an issue with my earlier idea is that the countdown needs to be displayed before the marker so it's entire value is visible on screen when the line first appears.
I think you've got it right that a single vertical line will work best, though I now think to put the countdown at the bottom of the chart, as having it at the current level and displayed before the line places it in the box for the previous session which would certainly make it confusing.
So this is how I'm thinking now, and should be compatible with all configurations. Note that the line does not go to the top of the chart so as to avoid confusion with MT4's native 'period separators' (shown as white dashed lines).
Not having any associated horizontal lines also helps indicate that there have not been any pips as the current session is still visible. This would then change to being the normal box format once the session opens.
Only thing I'm not too sure on is how this would look if in this example the AU and JP sessions were not being displayed. Maybe still ok, it's just that the determinant of the height of the line would be ambiguous.

Good day fellow Traders / Coders

First of all thanks for sharing the Sessions indicator. It useful for intra session traders.

Can someone help out with making some changes to the sessions. Meaning to add the orange box shown on the picture attached. I tried to code it but end up with the prices shown in Blue.

I would like to see the orange box like the one below pointed by the green arrows:
The orange box should be 25 pips above the Asian session and 25 pips below the Asian session. The box has to paint above the London session and the USA session as shown below.

Your input is appreciated

Regards

@MikeDNC,
I thought of some additional info it would be interesting to display, the % price change for the session.
Name Pips (0.00%)
e.g. UK 123.4 pips (1.23%)
This could be displayed in reference to two measurements, either the % change represents the total range of the session, or the open price to current price.

Hey drayzen,
Yes, I can see how seeing the absolute change, in addition to the pips, might be helpful data for a system sometimes -- who knows? I will work on adding this and the "next session countdown" too.

Hello fellow Traders

In addition to my previous post about the yellow boxes above the Asian session.

May someone help with the code below:

void CheckTZH()
{
//double vask = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK);
double vask = Ask;
// Play alert when price is above Asian session
while(vask==pTZHdn && Symbol()==_Symbol && TZPrice == True)
{
Alert("Trading Zone Up ",Symbol()," ",_Period," mins at price ", pTZHdn);
}
}

The issue is I get an Alert even before price or Ask price reaches or is equal to pTZHdn which is my reference aka the yellow box. I tried using "MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK);" but no luck. is there something I can use to compare vask with instead of Ask or MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK) ?

I would like to get an alert when price reaches the yellow box aka pTZHdn.

Your input is highly appreciated.

Kind regards

Hello there Fellow Traders

I did come right with what I was struggling with on the Sessions Indicator.
As an early Xmas present I would like to share the Session Indicator aka Expert Advisor (EA).

I did however incorporate the EA with the Session indicator + a TDI indicator.
The EA will place a BUY or SELL at specific Market price conditions.

EA also has inputs such as TP and SL, a trailing stop function and Lock profit function which one can adjust in the inputs tab.
EA works on all pairs although USDCAD is the recommended pair.
EA works best on the 15M time frame.

Thanks again to the trader who shared the Session indicator

Bear in mind the EA work in Strategy Tester.
