Session Open PricelinesSimple Indicator which shows 5 customizeable Lines for the sessions opening price.
I use it with New York Timezone.
You can easily modify the code for the time, you can also add more sessions to it.
I am no coder and have no idea why the indicator is showing all lines just under m10. I use it with m1 and m3 most of the time.
If you know the answer, it would be so cool if you could write me to modify it and make it work in all timeframes.
Session breaksThis indicator marks the start of each trading session around the world, starting with Tokyo at 0am UTC, London at 7am UTC, NY at 12pm and Sydney at 9pm, is non-intrusive (light gray vertical lines) and works with both UTC and exchanges' local time and handles DST / timezone offsets as well.
You can easily see that sometimes it acts as pivot-point especially on high volume.
And last, it is supposed to replace the "Session breaks" option that you can find in "Settings - Appearance" that only displays the end of session for the current exchange.
Sessions Asia, London, NY colored USED FOR GMT+2Simple script making easy to see when what session begins also overlaps and ends.
This script used for GMT+2 time zone, if you want to edit it just overite script time cycle.
Sessions (Nephew_Sam_)Indicator combines the 3;
1. 3 Sessions - with an option to set your own times
2. 4 Killzones- with an option to set your own times
3. Daily Dividers
If you dont want any of the the above or want to decrease your killzones, just uncheck the relevant checkbox under settings - inputs/colors.
Note: Most of this code it taken from other open source scripts, therefore I will leave this as an open source code too.
session min/max support&resistance [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to present you session min/max support&resistance indicator. The idea behind is to calculate min and max per session and render line at those levels and bars until the price reach the level. With this you can see levels where the price didn't reach with granular control over how many lines can be shown.
Indicator has following settings:
General control - where you can select session interval and show/hide labels
Line control - where you can adjust type of line, color of up/bottom level..
I hope you will enjoy it,
Lukas
Session Range and Breakout Summary
This script presents the session range and post session movements relative to that range of all the majors and crosses on a single page. You can also set it to a daily range and weekly range (beta). It will even show you the pip value of the range. I made the indicator to easily stay on top of market movements at london open relative to the Asia session range. Its very easy to see which entire currency group is breaking its asia range WHIST ITS HAPPENING. Focus on NZD in the examples as it was the market lead today - I was able to get some of it when I saw the entire group breaking its range
Showing all the majors and crosses relative to the Asia range (00:00 - 07:00 GMT)
Active 'show on chart' to verify the indicator is measuring the range correctly. Compare below to the NZD box above - you can see how NZD had control of the market this morning and all NZD pairs broke out of their ranges.
'PIP MODE' - active pip mode to see what the pip range was of the session
Notes
The information is presented RELATIVELY - this means that all the ranges and movements are scaled to be the same size. You are therefore seeing the movements relative to their ranges. When you see a breakout it relative to the size of the range - for example, if GBPJPY had a range of 50pips and breaks out of the range by 100 pip and GBPEUR has a range of 20 pips and breaks out by 40 pips they have both broken out double the range and will be displayed as the same distance.
The indicator will show the movements whilst the range is forming. I did this so I can see what the groups are doing before Europe open and be ready - such as lingering at the top end of its INCOMPLETE asia range. Be aware through that if the lines are flat at the top of the range WHILST THE RANGE IS STILL FORMING this does not mean price was flat, it means that price was pushing up and growing the range. (Price can't breakout until the range has formed at the end of the session)
The currency pairs are organised to show the strength or weakness of the selected group - this means that the base currency is always the select group. This is to present the data with currencies moving in the same direction rather than some reversed but meaning the same in relation to currency strength. In the NZD example:
NZDAUD (not AUDNZD )
NZDCAD
NZDCHF
NZDEUR (not EURNZD )
NZDGBP (not GBPNZD )
NZDJPY
NZDUSD
I hope its useful. This is the most powerful indicator I've managed to write yet. It was difficult to make the code efficient enough to fit into the pinescript limit and still do everything.
Session Open PriceThis Indicator displays the ICT kill zones' open price
You will be able to see the following open prices (ALL TIMES ARE IN NEW YORK TIME)
All times and appearances are customisable to your own liking.
The default time setting is recommended
- 00:00 AM Midnight New York Open Price (RED DASH LINE)
- 2:00 AM Frankfurt Open Price (GREEN DASH LINE)
- 3:00 AM London Open Price (BLUE DASH LINE)
- 8:30 AM New York Open Price (ORANGE DASH LINE)
HOW TO USE SESSION OPEN PRICE IN YOUR TRADING
If the price is above the opening price you only look for sells whereas if the price is under the opening price you only look for buys
BUY EXAMPLE
Wait for Midnight New York and Frankfurt open price to display
The price must be under both prices
Look for a Market maker buy model or your own entry model
Stoploss will be at the swing low and Take profit can be a fixed RR or how you calculate your take profit level
Session LevelsThis indicator plots important session (intraday) levels for the day. It plots high and low of previous day, week, month, 52 week and all time. Also plots the vix range which shows the daily expected trading range of the instrument. These levels acts as important support/resistance for the day.
For example, if price closes above previous day, week, or month high/low it indicates bullish sentiment and vice versa for bearish.
Vix Range plots top, center, bottom line for expected trading range for the day. It is calculated based on the volatility index selected (NSE:India VIX is used by default).
SessionRangeLevels_v0.1SessionRangeLevels_v0.1
Overview:
SessionRangeLevels_v0.1 is a customizable Pine Script (v6) indicator designed to plot key price levels based on a user-defined trading session. It identifies the high and low of the session and calculates intermediate levels (75%, 50% "EQ", and 25%) within that range. These levels are projected forward as horizontal lines with accompanying labels, providing traders with dynamic support and resistance zones. The indicator supports extensive customization for session timing, time zones, line styles, colors, and more.
Key Features:
Session-Based Range Detection: Tracks the high and low prices during a specified session (e.g., 0600-0900) and updates them dynamically as the session progresses.
Customizable Levels: Displays High, 75%, EQ (50%), 25%, and Low levels, each with independent toggle options, styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), colors, and widths.
Session Anchor: Optional vertical line marking the session start, with customizable style, color, and width.
Projection Offset: Extends level lines forward by a user-defined number of bars (default: 24) for future price reference.
Labels: Toggleable labels for each level (e.g., "High," "75%," "EQ") with adjustable size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).
Time Zone Support: Aligns session timing to a selected time zone (e.g., America/New_York, UTC, Asia/Tokyo, etc.).
Alert Conditions: Triggers alerts when the price crosses any of the plotted levels (High, 75%, EQ, 25%, Low).
Inputs:
Session Time (HHMM-HHMM): Define the session range (e.g., "0600-0900" for 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM).
Time Zone: Choose from options like UTC, America/New_York, Europe/London, etc.
Anchor Settings: Toggle the session start line, adjust its style (default: Dotted), color (default: Black), and width (default: 1).
Level Settings:
High (Solid, Black, Width 2)
75% (Dotted, Blue, Width 1)
EQ/50% (Dotted, Orange, Width 1)
25% (Dotted, Blue, Width 1)
Low (Solid, Black, Width 2)
Each level includes options to show/hide, set style, color, width, and label visibility.
Projection Offset: Number of bars to extend lines (default: 24).
Label Size: Set label size (default: Small).
How It Works:
The indicator detects the start and end of the user-defined session based on the specified time and time zone.
During the session, it tracks the highest high and lowest low, updating the levels in real-time.
At the session start, it plots the High, Low, and intermediate levels (75%, 50%, 25%), projecting them forward.
Lines and labels dynamically adjust as new highs or lows occur within the session.
Alerts notify users when the price crosses any active level.
Usage:
Ideal for traders who focus on session-based strategies (e.g., London or New York open). Use it to identify key price zones, monitor breakouts, or set targets. Customize the appearance to suit your chart preferences and enable alerts for real-time trading signals.
Notes:
Ensure your chart’s timeframe aligns with your session duration for optimal results (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts for short sessions).
The indicator overlays directly on the price chart for easy integration with other tools.
SessionScopeSessionScope highlights the major FX sessions (Asia, London, New York) on any chart timeframe by shading their local trading hours. It overlays the previous day’s high/low and the previous week’s high/low as dynamic horizontal lines. Each line is continuously updated on every bar, including during historical replay, and is annotated with a fixed “pin” label that points at the current bar while the text sits to its right. An optional UTC-shift input lets you align session windows to your local timezone, and you can adjust how far right the labels sit from the latest bar.
Chart Box Session Indicator [The Quant Science]This indicator allows highlighting specific time sessions within a chart by creating colored boxes to represent the price range of the selected session. Is an advanced and flexible tool for chart segmenting trading sessions. Thanks to its extensive customization options and advanced visualization features, it allows traders to gain a clear representation of key market areas based on chosen time intervals.
The indicator offers two range calculation modes:
Body to Body: considers the range between the opening and closing price.
Wick to Wick: considers the range between the session's low and high.
Body To Body
Wick to Wick
Key Features
1. Session Configuration
- Users can select the time range of the session of interest.
- Option to choose the day of the week for the calculation.
- Supports UTC timezone selection to correctly align data.
2. Customizable Visualization
- Option to display session price lines.
- Ability to show a central price line.
- Extension of session lines beyond the specified duration.
3. Design Display Configuration
- Three different background configurations to suit light and dark themes.
- Two gradient modes for session coloring:
- Centered: the color is evenly distributed.
- Off-Centered: the gradient is asymmetrical.
How It Works
The indicator determines whether the current time falls within the selected session, creating a colored box that highlights the corresponding price range. Depending on user preferences, the indicator draws horizontal lines at the minimum and maximum price levels and, optionally, a central line.
During the session:
- The lowest and highest session prices are dynamically updated.
- The range is divided into 10 bands to create a gradient effect.
- A colored box is generated to visually highlight the chosen session.
If the Extend Lines option is enabled, price lines continue even after the session ends, keeping the range visible for further analysis.
This indicator is useful for traders who want to analyze price behavior in specific timeframes. It is particularly beneficial for strategies based on market sessions (e.g., London or New York open) or for identifying accumulation and distribution zones.
ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.

Simple Sessions========== TLDR ==========
The "Simple Sessions" indicator plots vertical lines and labels at the open and close of the US (New York), Asia (Tokyo), and Europe (London), daily session. The existing session indicators I could find all changed the background color of the chart for the entire session or added extra information to the chart that cluttered up my view. This is meant to be a less noisy and easy to interpret indication that the session you trade has started or is ending.
========== Features ==========
- Show or hide vertical lines for session opens and closes
- Show or hide labels for session opens and closes
- Show or hide each session individually
- Show or hide just the session close indications
- Change the color used for each session open and close
- Change the labels text, size, and text color
========== Limitations ==========
The session start and end times are hard coded in for their time zones and can't be changed:
- US (New York) - 9:30 - 16:00
- Asia (Tokyo) - 9:00 - 15:00
- Europe (London) - 8:30 - 16:30
========== Use Cases ==========
- Easily see when each session started and ended without the chart being too noisy
- Make it easier to identify price action patterns and trade setups that may occur on the open of each session

Statistics: High & Low timings of custom session; 1yr historyGet statistics of the Session High and Session Low timings for any custom session; based on around 1yr of data.
//Purpose:
-To get data on the 'time of day' tendencies of an asset.
-Narrow in on a custom defined session and get statistics on that session.
//Notes:
-Input times are always in New York time (but changing the timezone after setting WILL adust both table stats and background highlight correctly.
-For particularly long sessions, make sure text size is set to 'tiny' (very long vertical table), or adjust table to display horizontally.
-You'll notice most assets show higher readings around NY equities open (9:30am NY time). Other assets will have 'hot-spots' at other times too.
-Timings represent the beginning of a 15m candle. i.e. reading for 15:45 represents a high occurring between 15:45 and 1600.
-Premium users should get 20k bars => around 1year's worth of data on a 15minute chart. Days of history is displayed in the top left corner of the table.
//Limitations
-only designed and working on 15minute timeframe (to gather a full year of meaningful/comparable % stats, need 15minute 'buckets' of time.
-sessions cannot cross through midnight, or start at midnight (00:15 is ok). 00:15 >> 23:45 is the max session length. On BTC, same applies but 01:00 instead of midnight (all in NY time).
-if your session crosses through 'dead time' (e.g. 17:00-18:00 S&P NY time); table will correctly omit these non-existent candles, but it will add on the missing hour before the start time.
//Cautionary note:
-Since markets are not uncommonly in a trending state when your defined session starts or ends, the high/low timings % readings for start and end of session may be misleadingly high. Try to look for unusually high readings that are not at the start/end of your session.

KillZones & Sessions [TradingFinder] Volume | Asia, London & NY🔵 Introduction
🟣 Session
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only Saturdays and Sundays being off; traders often focus on one of the forex trading sessions instead of trying to trade in all markets 24 hours a day.
Trading sessions are time intervals during which a specific financial market is active and trades are conducted. The Asia, London, and New York sessions are the most important trading sessions throughout the 24-hour period, during which a significant amount of money and liquidity enters the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets profit from the difference between the price at which they buy or sell and the current market price. Traders have different time horizons for trading.
Among these, some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading and must operate during times when the market has desirable trading volumes and significant price movements.
Kill zones are segments of a session with higher trading volumes and price fluctuations compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Time
The "Asia Session" consists of two sessions: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00 and ends at 06:00. Similarly, the beginning of the "Asia KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00, and it ends at 03:55.

Forex Sessions by CryptoforForex Sessions Boxes
Killzones are the period of greatest volatility, and volatility is one of the main factors for finding the optimal trade time (OTT/Optimal Trade Time). That is, in a period of high volatility, we as traders have the most chances to open a good position, and at the same time not to sit on the charts for too long waiting for its closing.

This Script combines the world sessions of: Stocks, Forex, Bitcoin Kill Zones, strategic points, all configurable, in a single Script, to capitalize the opening and closing times of global exchanges as investment assets, becoming an Universal Global Session .
It is based on the great work of @oscarvs ( BITCOIN KILL ZONES v2 ) and the scripts of @ChrisMoody. Thank you Oscar and Chris for your excellent judgment and great work.
At the end of this writing you can find all the internet references of the extensive documentation that I present here. To maximize your benefits in the use of this Script, I recommend that you read the entire document to create an objective and practical criterion.
All the hours of the different exchanges are presented at GMT -6. In Market24hClock you can adjust it to your preferences.
After a deep investigation I have been able to show that the different world sessions reveal underlying investment cycles, where it is possible to find sustained changes in the nominal behavior of the trend before the passage from one session to another and in the natural overlaps between the sessions. These underlying movements generally occur 15 minutes before the start, close or overlap of the session, when the session properly starts and also 15 minutes after respectively. Therefore, this script is designed to highlight these particular trending behaviors. Try it, discover your own conclusions and let me know in the notes, thank you.
Foreign Exchange Market Hours
It is the schedule by which currency market participants can buy, sell, trade and speculate on currencies all over the world. It is open 24 hours a day during working days and closes on weekends, thanks to the fact that operations are carried out through a network of information systems, instead of physical exchanges that close at a certain time. It opens Monday morning at 8 am local time in Sydney —Australia— (which is equivalent to Sunday night at 7 pm, in New York City —United States—, according to Eastern Standard Time), and It closes at 5pm local time in New York City (which is equivalent to 6am Saturday morning in Sydney).
The Forex market is decentralized and driven by local sessions, where the hours of Forex trading are based on the opening range of each active country, becoming an efficient transfer mechanism for all participants. Four territories in particular stand out: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York, where the highest volume of operations occurs when the sessions in London and New York overlap. Furthermore, Europe is complemented by major financial centers such as Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich. Each day of forex trading begins with the opening of Australia, then Asia, followed by Europe, and finally North America. As markets in one region close, another opens - or has already opened - and continues to trade in the currency market. The seven most traded currencies in the world are: the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the New Zealand dollar.
Currencies are needed around the world for international trade, this means that operations are not dominated by a single exchange market, but rather involve a global network of brokers from around the world, such as banks, commercial companies, central banks, companies investment management, hedge funds, as well as retail forex brokers and global investors. Because this market operates in multiple time zones, it can be accessed at any time except during the weekend, therefore, there is continuously at least one open market and there are some hours of overlap between the closing of the market of one region and the opening of another. The international scope of currency trading means that there are always traders around the world making and satisfying demands for a particular currency.
The market involves a global network of exchanges and brokers from around the world, although time zones overlap, the generally accepted time zone for each region is as follows:
Sydney 5pm to 2am EST (10pm to 7am UTC)
London 3am to 12 noon EST (8pm to 5pm UTC)
New York 8am to 5pm EST (1pm to 10pm UTC)
Tokyo 7pm to 4am EST (12am to 9am UTC)
Trading Session
A financial asset trading session refers to a period of time that coincides with the daytime trading hours for a given location, it is a business day in the local financial market. This may vary according to the asset class and the country, therefore operators must know the hours of trading sessions for the securities and derivatives in which they are interested in trading. If investors can understand market hours and set proper targets, they will have a much greater chance of making a profit within a workable schedule.
Kill Zones
Kill zones are highly liquid events. Many different market participants often come together and perform around these events. The activity itself can be event-driven (margin calls or option exercise-related activity), portfolio management-driven (asset allocation rebalancing orders and closing buy-in), or institutionally driven (larger players needing liquidity to complete the size) or a combination of any of the three. This intense cross-current of activity at a very specific point in time often occurs near significant technical levels and the established trends emerging from these events often persist until the next Death Zone approaches or enters.
Kill Zones are evolving with time and the course of world history. Since the end of World War II, New York has slowly invaded London's place as the world center for commercial banking. So much so that during the latter part of the 20th century, New York was considered the new center of the financial universe. With the end of the cold war, that leadership appears to have shifted towards Europe and away from the United States. Furthermore, Japan has slowly lost its former dominance in the global economic landscape, while Beijing's has increased dramatically. Only time will tell how these death zones will evolve given the ever-changing political, economic, and socioeconomic influences of each region.
Financial Markets
New York
New York (NYSE Chicago, NASDAQ)
7:30 am - 2:00 pm
It is the second largest currency platform in the world, followed largely by foreign investors as it participates in 90% of all operations, where movements on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) can have an immediate effect (powerful) on the dollar, for example, when companies merge and acquisitions are finalized, the dollar can instantly gain or lose value.
A. Complementary Stock Exchanges
Brazil (BOVESPA - Brazilian Stock Exchange)
07:00 am - 02:55 pm
Canada (TSX - Toronto Stock Exchange)
07:30 am - 02:00 pm
New York (NYSE - New York Stock Exchange)
08:30 am - 03:00 pm
B. North American Trading Session
07:00 am - 03:00 pm
(from the beginning of the business day on NYSE and NASDAQ, until the end of the New York session)
New York, Chicago and Toronto (Canada) open the North American session. Characterized by the most aggressive trading within the markets, currency pairs show high volatility. As the US markets open, trading is still active in Europe, however trading volume generally decreases with the end of the European session and the overlap between the US and Europe.
C. Strategic Points
US main session starts in 1 hour
07:30 am
The euro tends to drop before the US session. The NYSE, CHX and TSX (Canada) trading sessions begin 1 hour after this strategic point. The North American session begins trading Forex at 07:00 am.
This constitutes the beginning of the overlap of the United States and the European market that spans from 07:00 am to 10:35 am, often called the best time to trade EUR / USD, it is the period of greatest liquidity for the main European currencies since it is where they have their widest daily ranges.
When New York opens at 07:00 am the most intense trading begins in both the US and European markets. The overlap of European and American trading sessions has 80% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during US business hours and 70% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during European business hours. The intersection of the US and European sessions are the most volatile overlapping hours of all.
Influential news and data for the USD are released between 07:30 am and 09:00 am and play the biggest role in the North American Session. These are the strategically most important moments of this activity period: 07:00 am, 08:00 am and 08:30 am.
The main session of operations in the United States and Canada begins
08:30 am
Start of main trading sessions in New York, Chicago and Toronto. The European session still overlaps the North American session and this is the time for large-scale unpredictable trading. The United States leads the market. It is difficult to interpret the news due to speculation. Trends develop very quickly and it is difficult to identify them, however trends (especially for the euro), which have developed during the overlap, often turn the other way when Europe exits the market.
Second hour of the US session and last hour of the European session
09:30 am
End of the European session
10:35 am
The trend of the euro will change rapidly after the end of the European session.
Last hour of the United States session
02:00 pm
Institutional clients and very large funds are very active during the first and last working hours of almost all stock exchanges, knowing this allows to better predict price movements in the opening and closing of large markets. Within the last trading hours of the secondary market session, a pullback can often be seen in the EUR / USD that continues until the opening of the Tokyo session. Generally it happens if there was an upward price movement before 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm.
End of the trade session in the United States
03:00 pm
D. Kill Zones
11:30 am - 1:30 pm
New York Kill Zone. The United States is still the world's largest economy, so by default, the New York opening carries a lot of weight and often comes with a huge injection of liquidity. In fact, most of the world's marketable assets are priced in US dollars, making political and economic activity within this region even more important. Because it is relatively late in the world's trading day, this Death Zone often sees violent price swings within its first hour, leading to the proven adage "never trust the first hour of trading in America. North.

London
London (LSE - London Stock Exchange)
02:00 am - 10:35 am

02:00 am
London, Frankfurt and Zurich Stock Exchange enter the market, overlap between Europe and Asia begins.
End of the Singapore and Asia sessions
03:00 am
The euro rises almost immediately or an hour after Singapore exits the market.
Middle East Oil Markets Completion Process
05:00 am
Operations are ending in the European-Asian market, at which time Dubai, Qatar and in another hour in Riyadh, which constitute the Middle East oil markets, are closing. Because oil trading is done in US dollars, and the region with the trading day coming to an end no longer needs the dollar, consequently, the euro tends to grow more frequently.
End of the Middle East trading session
06:00 am
E. Kill Zones
5:00 am - 7:00 am
London Kill Zone. Considered the center of the financial universe for more than 500 years, Europe still has a lot of influence in the banking world. Many older players use the European session to establish their positions. As such, the London Open often sees the most significant trend-setting activity on any trading day. In fact, it has been suggested that 80% of all weekly trends are set through the London Kill Zone on Tuesday.
F. Kill Zones (close)
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
London Kill Zone (close).
---------------
Tokyo
Tokyo (JPX - Tokyo Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
It is the first Asian market to open, receiving most of the Asian trade, just ahead of Hong Kong and Singapore.
A. Complementary Stock Exchange

09:45 pm - 04:00 am
B. Asian Trading Session
06:00 pm - 03:00 am
From the opening of the Tokyo session to the end of the Singapore session
The first major Asian market to open is Tokyo which has the largest market share and is the third largest Forex trading center in the world. Singapore opens in an hour, and then the Chinese markets: Shanghai and Hong Kong open 30 minutes later. With them, the trading volume increases and begins a large-scale operation in the Asia-Pacific region, offering more liquidity for the Asian-Pacific currencies and their crosses. When European countries open their doors, more liquidity will be offered to Asian and European crossings.
C. Strategic Points
Second hour of the Tokyo session
07:00 pm
This session also opens the Singapore market. The commercial dynamics grows in anticipation of the opening of the two largest Chinese markets in 30 minutes: Shanghai and Hong Kong, within these 30 minutes or just before the China session begins, the euro usually falls until the same moment of the opening of Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Second hour of the China session
08:30 pm
Hong Kong and Shanghai start trading and the euro usually grows for more than an hour. The EUR / USD pair mixes up as Asian exporters convert part of their earnings into both US dollars and euros.
Last hour of the Tokyo session
11:00 pm
End of the Tokyo session
12:00 am
If the euro has been actively declining up to this time, China will raise the euro after the Tokyo shutdown. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore remain open and take matters into their own hands causing the growth of the euro. Asia is a huge commercial and industrial region with a large number of high-quality economic products and gigantic financial turnover, making the number of transactions on the stock exchanges huge during the Asian session. That is why traders, who entered the trade at the opening of the London session, should pay attention to their terminals when Asia exits the market.
End of the Shanghai session
01:00 am
The trade ends in Shanghai. This is the last trading hour of the Hong Kong session, during which market activity peaks.
D. Kill Zones
10:00 pm - 2:00 am
Asian Kill Zone. Considered the "Institutional" Zone, this zone represents both the launch pad for new trends as well as a recharge area for the post-American session. It is the beginning of a new day (or week) for the world and as such it makes sense that this zone often sets the tone for the remainder of the global business day. It is ideal to pay attention to the opening of Tokyo, Beijing and Sydney.
--------------
Sidney
Sydney (ASX - Australia Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
A. Complementary Stock Exchange
New Zealand (NZX - New Zealand Stock Exchange)
04:00 pm - 10:45 pm
It's where the global trading day officially begins. While it is the smallest of the megamarkets, it sees a lot of initial action when markets reopen Sunday afternoon as individual traders and financial institutions are trying to regroup after the long hiatus since Friday afternoon. On weekdays it constitutes the end of the current trading day where the change in the settlement date occurs.
B. Pacific Trading Session
04:00 pm - 12:00 am
(from the opening of the Wellington session to the end of the Sydney session)
Forex begins its business hours when Wellington (New Zealand Exchange) opens local time on Monday. Sydney (Australian Stock Exchange) opens in 2 hours. It is a session with a fairly low volatility, configuring itself as the calmest session of all. Strong movements appear when influential news is published and when the Pacific session overlaps the Asian Session.
C. Strategic Points
End of the Sydney session
12:00 am
---------------
Conclusions
The best time to trade is during overlaps in trading times between open markets. Overlaps equate to higher price ranges, creating greater opportunities.
Regarding press releases (news), it should be noted that these in the currency markets have the power to improve a normally slow trading period. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, especially when it goes against the predicted forecast, the coin can lose or gain value in a matter of seconds. In general, the more economic growth a country produces, the more positive the economy is for international investors. Investment capital tends to flow to countries that are believed to have good growth prospects and subsequently good investment opportunities, leading to the strengthening of the country's exchange rate. Also, a country that has higher interest rates through its government bonds tends to attract investment capital as foreign investors seek high-yield opportunities. However, stable economic growth and attractive yields or interest rates are inextricably intertwined. It's important to take advantage of market overlaps and keep an eye out for press releases when setting up a trading schedule.
