What is this
A classic MT4 info-panel indicator: it shades the four major sessions (London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney) on your chart and shows a countdown plus intraday range stats. Handy for session-based strategies or simply avoiding liquidity dead zones. The repo is older (untouched since 2020) but the code works — re-verified by this site.
How it works
- Splits the trading day into four sessions by broker server time, shaded with translucent colors
- A panel shows the current session, countdown, and session high/low stats
- Session open/close offsets are configurable to match your broker's timezone

No — they are drawn translucent on the background layer.
▸ How do I find my broker's offset?
Use the method from this site's trading-hours articles: compare server time against GMT.
