Session high and low indicators: what to look for in one

[FXS London Scalper]

Session indicators that mark Asia, London and New York highs and lows save time. A good one has a few specific features.

Features that matter:

• Session times in London or New York time, not server time, with automatic daylight-saving handling.
• Lines extending into the next session, so they serve as levels.
• Option to show only the current and previous sessions, to keep charts clean.
• Works on any timeframe below H1.

Common problems:

• Hard-coded server offsets that break when the broker changes server time.
• Sessions defined differently from what you expect, for example Asia from 22:00 or from 00:00 London.
• Heavy indicators that slow the terminal.

Check before trusting: compare the indicator's Asian high with a manual check for a few days, especially after a clock change.

A small personal test of a few candidates on a demo terminal for a week is usually enough to pick one, and the comparison against manual marks will catch most problems.
