Chart Sessions

I would like to be able hide the sessions outside of the USA session. I am sure other people would feel the same way in regards to other sessions.

    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 / Alert Banner


    ✅ Session Bar Core Goals:

    1. Show current session (Asia, India, Europe, NY).

    2. Mark time transitions (session open/close).

    3. Allow alerts and visual markers:

      • Red folder events (e.g., FOMC, NFP).

      • Custom alerts.


    🔧 Recommended Components:

    • Session Time Definitions (in UTC or local, based on user input).

    • Dynamic Color Bar showing current session.

    • Vertical Lines or Icons for major events.

    • Alert Triggers based on time or economic calendar flags.

    • Ability for Props to inject Custom Alerts for unique System events.

    Sessions indicator

    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.

    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. 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.
