Market Session Candle Indicator

Hi, can someone please help me find an overlay which indicates the current session time it is by the candlestick color?

I don't think this can be done with a single indicator.

MT4 allows a max of 8 buffers in an indicator, and it takes 4 buffers to draw a synthetic candle (one for upper wick, one for body, one for lower wick, one for background). If you want 4 different colors (Asian session, European session, US session, no session), then that would require 4 x 4 = 16 buffers. Hence you'd need at least 2 different indicators.

The other approach would be to plot the candles as MT4 objects. That would get around the buffer limitation, since objects don't use buffers.

I guess you've seen the session indicators that shade the background behind the candles. There are a few of them in this thread.

Ok that makes sense. Thx for the input Hanover.

Hi Hanover,

Is it possible to make an indicator so that one sessions candles are painted ie just London?

Also could that indicator be added mutiple times, for different sessions?

Have seen other session indicators but I find them distracting.

Thanks in advance, Nate

Hey guys. Is there an indicator that i can customize to colour code one specific candle on the 1 minute time frame?
