The Globex Session indicator creates visual boxes on the trading chart representing specific market trading hours for different futures contracts. These boxes are drawn according to predefined session times for various markets like Equity Indexes, Treasuries, Metals, Energies, and Agricultures, typically spanning evening to morning hours in UTC-4 time zone.
The boxes are color-coded to indicate price movement during that session: green boxes signify price increases, while red boxes represent price declines. Traders can customize the session times and time zones to match specific market trading hours, allowing for precise tracking of market activity during designated periods.

By highlighting price movements and session boundaries, traders can quickly identify potential trading opportunities and understand market dynamics during key timeframes.
This tool helps traders analyze after-hours and pre-market movements, which can be crucial for understanding market sentiment and potential price trends before regular trading hours. The color-coded boxes make it easy to interpret price action, enabling traders to make more informed decisions based on session-specific performance.
