At first glance, it's a simple indicator, but its usage can be quite extensive, as described below.

Tips on how to use:

1. Highlight the most active (volatile) times of day in the Forex market

The opening times of stock markets around the can help you identify time zones, and there are also corresponding time zones to the main financial centers such as Tokyo time, London time, and New York time. Because the difference between these time zones is large, it is necessary to understand the trading characteristics of each time zone.

For example, the Tokyo session tends to be a ranging market. Also during the Tokyo session, the Yen, the Antipodean, and Dollar currency pairs are likely to be more active than their European counterparts.

On the other hand, volatility increases at a stretch once the London session kicks in. The New York session may overlap with London and is the time of day when the busiest trading activity takes place in the Forex market.

It is a good idea to use this indicator to keep time zones in check on a daily basis.

2. You can use this indicator for news trading.

For example, you may want to highlight the time zone where the news is announced with this indicator. This way you won't forget the news announcement.

Some people only trade when London is open. In such a case, it is recommended to highlight the time of the London opening.
