ASQ Session Manager v1.2 — Free, Open-Source
Trading outside your session is the #1 reason retail EAs bleed equity. ASQ Session Manager gives your EA institutional-grade session awareness — it knows exactly which session is active, whether you're in a kill zone, how volatile the current session is compared to its 20-day average, and if the Asian range just broke out. Drop it into any EA and stop trading blind.
FEATURES:
- 4-session detection — Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York with automatic broker GMT offset
- Kill zone identification — London Open, NY Open, Asian, London Close, London-NY Overlap
- Asian range breakout — automatic range calculation (00:00-06:00 GMT), breakout detection, false-break filtering, and 1.5x expansion targets
- Session volatility scoring — 5-tier ATR-relative meter (Dead/Low/Normal/High/Explosive) scored against 20-day average range
- Countdown timer — always shows the next upcoming session open or kill zone with hours and minutes remaining
- Session phase tracking — Early, Active, Midday, Late phases for each session
- 3 built-in signal types — Asian Range Breakout, London Open Momentum, Overlap Continuation with entry/SL/TP levels
- 20-day session range statistics with best-session analysis
- NFP Friday detection — auto-detects first Friday of month, blocks trading to avoid Non-Farm Payroll chaos
- Safety filters — weekend, Friday late close, Monday early open protection
- Session overlap analysis with priority resolution (London > NY > Tokyo > Sydney)
