FXCM’s programming team has started creating custom indicators and strategies that traders have been requesting. I’ll start to post them in this thread as they’re made available. Here’s the first one:
Trading Sessions Indicator
The trade session indicator will draw a box around the the candlesticks occurring during the relevant major forex trading periods: NY, London, Tokyo & Australia. You can specify the color for each period in the inputs menu. Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like on the chart:
The indicator file is attached to this post for download. Please keep in mind this indicator is programmed for use in the Strategy Trader platform.

Economic Calendar Indicator
The economic calendar indciator will post economic news announcements directly onto the chart along with the actual figure released. The indicator will display any economic events relevant to the currency pair displayed in the chart. For example if you are viewing USD/JPY, it will display economic releases relevant to the US and Japan. The indicator pulls data from the DailyFX economic calendar.
The indicator is attached to this post.
