SFL Session Opens Indicator – FX Replay Guide

The SFL Session Opens Indicator in FX Replay marks the opening and closing times of the London, New York, and Asia trading sessions directly on your chart. These sessions represent key volatility windows that intraday traders rely on for breakouts, reversals, or session-based scalping.

How to Add the Indicator

• Open the Indicators panel in FX Replay
• Search for “SFL Session Opens” or “Session Indicator”
• Click to add it to your chart
• It will immediately show vertical bands or lines marking when each session begins and ends

Customization Options

• Select which sessions to display (e.g., just London and New York if you're focusing on high-volume overlaps)
• Adjust line color, opacity, and labeling to match your charting style
• Great for reducing visual noise and focusing on the sessions that matter to you

How to Use It in FX Replay

• Session Open Entries:
  Look for high-probability entries 5–30 minutes after a session opens, when volatility typically spikes
• Session Overlaps:
  Backtest setups during the London–New York overlap, a period known for increased momentum
• Session-Based Bias:
  If price breaks strongly at the London open and holds, it often carries that bias into the NY session

Backtesting With Session Opens

• Replay market opens and review how your strategy performs in the first 30–60 minutes of each session
• Track volume behavior or structure shifts aligned with session lines
• Combine with indicators like VWAP, RSI, or liquidity zones for added confluence

Pro Tip

Use the SFL Session Opens Indicator in FX Replay as a time-based filter — not every setup is valid all day, but many of the best ones form shortly after session opens or during overlaps.

This tool helps you isolate those high-opportunity time windows with precision.
