the market session indicator set vertical lines at 1:00 am only . current time zone pacific and market scope time settings to server. changing the time settings to local sets the vertical bars to 22:00. setting the time settings to UTC puts vertical bars at 5:00 pm. changing server time to financial time sets vertical bars to 8:00 am. only one set of vertical lines are visible, they are default green and occur at intervals as specified above. i will check this forum with greater regularity to respond. i appreciate the effort


thank you

the market session indicator functions on 1 hour chart and less but not on two hour chart or more.

Hm... I'm not sure how it should work on two hours chart. Two hour chart is always aligned against server's begin of the trading session. So, another trading session can begin in the middle of the N-hour candle.

About the indicator:

The date and time of the price streams and the time as it is used in the drawLine call is always EST/EDT (New York time).

The date and time displayed on the time axis is the date time converted into the User's chosen time zone (variant: EST/EDT, GMT, Server's TimeZone, "Financial" time (0:00 is the server's trading day start). You do not need to care about the date and time translation into the chosen time time zone, Marketscope does it automatically.

If you need to convert the time between (for example to show the date and time in the label text properly) EST, GMT, User's Local TZ and TZ chosen in the user settings use host:execte("convertTime") call. See http://www.fxcodebase.com/documents/ind ... tTime.html

I rebuild the indicator. Now it loads the hour data to calculate the trading session high/lows, so:

1) finding the hi/lo works much faster
2) it works even if whole trading session is out of the currently opened chart range.

I didn't include the sidney session because I didn't found the proper settings for the trading session begin and the trading session length.

[Nikolay.Gekht]

Added sidney. Sorry, I didn't read the original request

the trade-session highlighter and the auto fibo/gann indicator should be merged in the following way. the complete functionality of the auto-fibo-levels indicator should be wrapped in the trade-session-highlight indicator. it probably should be optional. thank you

[Nikolay.Gekht]

A good idea. Why not?
