Description:

Indicator shows a different Forex sessions, market hours of the exchanges and user defined time lines.

It's a very useful tool for manual and automatic trading.

To perform a correct winter/summer time change, check the following parameters:

Broker_standard_time_zone - time zone, standard UTC+ broker server shift. The default value +1 - EST (Eastern Standard Time).
Broker_DST_start - Broker server's date and time for the summer time change.
Broker_DST_end - Broker server's date and time for the winter time (standard) change.

The only thing that requires explanation - the mouse icon in the right corner of the indicator.

It's mode selector. If you drag the icon located on the lower symbol, you will switch to the session borders display mode.

Remark:

At timeframes M30 and H1, it shows only session borders. At higher time frames (H4 and above) it shows only time (hours).

I like this indi, is one of the very best session time plotters. Is it possible for you to make this compatible with offline charts also?

Currently rate it at 8/10 because it won't work on offline charts.

I just want to to display session and days properly in offline charts because MT4 does a horrible job at this.

Hi, answer for future Users of Master gip Masterpiece Indicator - click on Mouse icon (once or twice, depends on your settings) to select it - you will get square border around Mouse icon. Then drag-and-drop this Mouse icon to circle below.

Have fun,

Simon

for switching time saving, is it automatic?

Hi, I guess switching time saving (DST - Daylight Saving Time) is semi-automatic, you have to find DST times for your Broker, just ask uncle GOOGLE, like ex. 'DST London' (Result: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=136). Then copy / write dates and hours in Indicator Properties (or directly into Master's gip Code) - Broker_DST_start = D'27.03.2011 01:00:00'; Broker_DST_end = D'30.10.2011 02:00:00';

Have fun, Happy New Year 2011 (The Year of Changes),

Simon
