I’d like to see an indicator created to highlight different sessions based on any time range I input. This would be a great help in finding my back testing area quicker as well. Different color choices also. Thank you

I HIGHLY agree! This should’ve been in the How To Create a Trading Platform 101.
I’d love to see an option to visually distinguish trading sessions (e.g., London, New York, Asia) on the chart—ideally through background color shading or vertical separators. This would help identify optimal trading periods, avoid overtrading outside key hours, and improve overall session discipline.
Even a simple toggle for session highlights or a custom time block overlay would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks for considering this! Keep up the great work.

Really? Now I am curious as to why. Past data from previous sessions is essential.

Session bars
Add the option to only show chart bars for main Exchange session or overnight session or both.

This is very basic but really helpful function for only focus on the RTH session traders!

Session Background Shading or Break Visuals
Hi TopstepX Team,
I’d love to see an option to visually distinguish trading sessions (e.g., London, New York, Asia) on the chart—ideally through background color shading or vertical separators.
