FXTT Session High Low MT5 – Free Session Levels Indicator for MetaTrader 5

FXTT Session High Low MT5 is a free forex session high low indicator for MetaTrader 5 that draws the high and low price levels for the Asia, Europe, and New York trading sessions directly on your chart. Instead of manually marking session extremes each day, the indicator automatically scans history and plots the session boundaries up to five lookback periods — so you always have the key session levels visible at a glance.

FXTT Session High Low MT5 — Asia, Europe and New York session levels on a 30-minute chart

This MT5 session indicator is built for traders who use session high and low levels as key support and resistance zones, liquidity targets, breakout reference points, or daily bias markers. An optional daily high/low layer adds a higher-timeframe reference without needing a separate indicator, and four one-click toggle buttons let you show or hide lines, labels, background shading, and the daily H/L instantly — without reopening settings.

What Is the FXTT Session High Low Indicator for MT5?

The FXTT Session High Low MT5 indicator identifies the highest and lowest price reached within each major forex trading session — Asia, Europe, and New York — and draws horizontal lines marking those extremes on the chart. Each session is tracked independently using configurable GMT hour ranges, and broker time is automatically adjusted using a configurable GMT offset so the session windows align correctly regardless of your broker's server time.

The current open session is drawn with a solid line that optionally extends right, giving you a live boundary to watch in real time. Past sessions switch to a configurable historical line style (dashed, dot-dash, etc.) so you can instantly distinguish live levels from historical reference levels.

Forex Session Levels Supported

The indicator covers the three major forex trading sessions:

• Asia Session — default 00:00–09:00 GMT (configurable)
• Europe Session — default 07:00–16:00 GMT (configurable)
• New York Session — default 13:00–22:00 GMT (configurable)

Each session has independently configurable start and end hours, so you can adjust the windows to match your broker, your trading style, or regional variations in session activity.

FXTT Session High Low MT5 — Indicator Features

• Three major sessions on one chart. Asia, Europe, and New York high/low lines displayed simultaneously without switching charts or adding multiple indicators.
• Configurable lookback. Show the last 1–10 session occurrences per session type so you always have historical context alongside today's live levels.
• Daily High/Low layer. An independent D1-based high/low layer adds the current and recent daily extremes as a higher-timeframe reference — fully toggleable without removing the session lines.
• Background shading. Optional color-filled rectangles shade each session's time window to give an immediate visual of where price was active during that session period.
• Chart text labels. Each high and low line is labelled with the session name and exact price level. Labels update in real time as the current session evolves.
• Four toggle buttons. One-click on-chart buttons to show or hide Lines, Labels, Background, and Daily H/L — no need to reopen the settings window.
• Configurable panel position. Position the button panel at any corner of the chart with custom X/Y pixel offsets.
• Per-session color and style. Each session has its own high color, low color, background color, line style, and line width — fully independent from the other sessions.
• GMT offset support. Set your broker's GMT offset (e.g. +2 for GMT+2) to keep all session windows correctly time-aligned regardless of broker server time.
• Extend current session lines right. Optionally project the current open session's high/low lines to the right edge of the chart for real-time boundary awareness.
• No repainting. Completed session high and low values are fixed on closed bars and never change retroactively.

Why Traders Use Session High and Low Levels

• Use the Asia session high and low as a defined range to watch for breakouts or reversals at the London open.
• Mark the Europe session high or low as a reference zone for New York session continuation or reversal trades.
• Identify liquidity sweep targets where price takes out a prior session high or low before reversing.
• Combine session highs and lows with the daily H/L layer to understand whether the day's range is expanding or compressing relative to session activity.
• Use session extremes as take-profit or stop-loss reference levels when managing open trades into the close of a session.
• Build a session-based daily bias: if New York closes below the Asia session low, the bearish momentum may continue into the next Asia open.
• Reduce chart clutter by toggling off sessions you are not currently trading — keep only the relevant layers visible during your trading hours.

Session Hours and GMT Configuration

All session windows are defined in GMT hours and the indicator translates them to broker server time using the Broker GMT Offset input. For example, if your broker runs on GMT+2 (standard for most EU brokers during winter), set the offset to 2. During summer (DST), adjust to 3 if needed.

The default session windows are:

All hours are configurable independently. The indicator correctly handles session windows that span midnight (e.g. a session starting at 22:00 and ending at 06:00).

How do I set the correct broker GMT offset?

Check what time your broker's server shows when UTC/GMT is at midnight. If the broker shows 02:00, your GMT offset is +2. Most EU-based brokers use GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer (DST). Set the Broker GMT Offset input accordingly so all three session windows align correctly.

Can I change the session hours?

Yes. Each session has independent Start Hour and End Hour inputs in GMT. Adjust them to match your preferred session definitions or your broker's trading hours.

Does the indicator repaint?

No. Session high and low values are fixed once a session closes. The current open session updates tick-by-tick, but completed session levels never change retroactively.

Can I hide individual sessions?

Yes. Each session (Asia, Europe, New York) has a Show toggle in the input settings. You can also hide all lines, labels, background, or the daily H/L at any time using the on-chart toggle buttons without opening settings.

What does the Daily High/Low layer show?

The Daily H/L layer draws the high and low of each complete D1 bar using a separate color and style, giving you a clean daily range reference alongside the session levels. The lookback period matches the Sessions to Show input. Toggle it on or off with the Daily H/L button.

Can I use this indicator on non-forex instruments?

Yes. The indicator works on any instrument in your MT5 terminal — forex pairs, XAUUSD (gold), indices (US30, NAS100), and cryptocurrencies. The session windows are time-based and apply regardless of instrument type.

Will it work on a VPS?

Yes. The indicator loads and runs normally on a VPS and does not interfere with Expert Advisors on the same or other charts.
