{Gunzo} Market Trading Sessions (Tokyo, London, New York)

By Gunzo_TV

Market Trading Sessions is a tool designed to help traders to find the best times of the day for price action trading. It displays non-overlapping visuals for the major trading sessions : Oceania, Asia, Europe, and USA.

OVERVIEW :
This tool has been designed to match all the following requirements that I needed for optimal usage :
  • Display opening and closing of main markets
  • See clearly market sessions (non-overlapping colors)
  • Display Sydney session if wanted
  • Display GMT hours and days
  • Visually pleasing design and colors
  • Highly configurable

As I had trouble finding a script matching all these criteria, I created this tool and I'm sharing it with the TradingView community, hoping you will find it useful too.

SETTINGS :
  • Display market sessions on weekends : Display theoretical market sessions times on the weekend which can be useful for non forex markets.
  • Display session for Oceania\Sydney : Display "Oceania\Sydney" trading session
  • Display session for Asia\Tokyo : Display "Asia\Tokyo" trading session
  • Display session for Europe\London : Display "Europe\London" trading session
  • Display session for USA\New York : Display "USA\New York" trading session
  • Display session names : Display names of the session on the visual
  • Oceania color : Configurable color for the "Oceania\Sydney" sessions
  • Asia color : Configurable color for the "Asia\Tokyo" sessions
  • Europe color : Configurable color for the "Europe\London" sessions
  • USA color : Configurable color for the "USA\New York" sessions
  • Background color : Configurable color for the table background
  • Border color : Configurable color for the table borders
  • Text color : Configurable color for the table text
  • Header color : Configurable color for the table header (even days)
  • Header color (alternate) : Configurable color for the table header (odd days)

Release Notes
Added the option to modify market sessions (in local time).
Changed usage of market sessions from GMT to local time (avoid daylight saving time issues).
Fixed a bug on the display of the market sessions (was painting the session one block before it really started).
Release Notes
  • Added the option to change the displayed timezone (default GMT) to a timezone defined by the user. Unfortunately at this moment it is not possible in the scripts to recuperate the user timezone, only the exchange timezone.
  • Fixed the position of the market session label
