See your trading sessions with perfect clarity

Shade Time Zone highlights the sessions that drive your trading decisions. Instantly identify how price behaved during the London session, where pre-market found support, or what happened during the closing auction—so you can anticipate what’s coming next.

Why traders choose Shade Time Zone

Every trader knows that different times of day behave differently. Pre-market volatility. The opening rush. Lunch lulls. Power hour momentum.

But constantly checking the time or counting bars to figure out which session you’re in pulls your focus away from price action.

Shade Time Zone solves this—instantly shading the time periods you define so you always know which part of the trading day you’re analyzing. The result? Better context. Faster pattern recognition. More confident decisions.

What you get

Shade any time period you choose

Define custom start and end times to highlight:

• Pre-market and after-hours — spot extended session action instantly
• Regular trading hours — separate RTH from the noise
• Lunch periods — identify low-liquidity zones to avoid
• High-volatility windows — focus on opening bell or closing auctions
• International sessions — track London open, Asian hours, or overlap periods

Set multiple shaded zones to mark all the periods that matter to your strategy.

Visual clarity across your entire chart window

The shading doesn’t just color your price chart. It extends to all indicators you use so every part of your chart window shows the same session context at a glance.
