About the P4L Forex World Clock Indicator
The P4L Forex World Clock Indicator for MT4 is a practical market awareness tool designed to help traders track global trading sessions in real time.
Instead of switching between websites or external clocks, the indicator displays key financial center times directly on your trading chart.
This allows traders to align their activity with active market hours and changing volatility conditions.
The indicator shows the local time for major trading hubs including Sydney, Tokyo, China, Berlin, London, UTC/GMT, and New York.
By having all session times visible at once, traders can better anticipate session overlaps and momentum shifts.
This is especially useful for scalpers and intraday traders who rely on session-driven price movement.
In addition to time data, the P4L Forex World Clock also provides valuable currency pair statistics.
These include spread, current price, volume, daily range, and ADR.
The indicator is displayed in the lower left corner of the main MT4 chart and is designed to stay out of the way while delivering relevant market context.

Global Timing XMaster Formula MT4 Forex Strategy
The Global Timing XMaster MT4 Forex Strategy combines the precision of the P4L Forex World Clock Indicator with the accuracy of the XMaster Formula Indicator.
This system is designed for traders who value timing as much as signal reliability.
By aligning market sessions with verified signal triggers, traders can identify high-probability trades during peak volatility hours.
The strategy works across all time frames, but it performs best on the M15 to H1 charts where the timing of market sessions directly affects price action.
It’s ideal for day traders and swing traders who prefer clean setups without noise or repainting signals.
The main concept is simple — trade XMaster Formula’s yellow arrows only when the major market for the pair is active according to the P4L World Clock.
Why This Strategy Works
Markets tend to move the strongest when their home sessions are open — for example, GBP pairs during the London session, or USD pairs during the New York session.
The P4L Forex World Clock clearly shows which sessions are active, allowing traders to focus only on the relevant time zones.
Combined with XMaster Formula’s clear up and down arrows, this setup helps avoid false signals and improves trade accuracy significantly.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for a yellow UP arrow from the XMaster Formula indicator.
- Check on the P4L Forex World Clock that the main session for the pair is active (for example, trade GBP/USD during London or New York hours).
- Enter a buy position at the close of the candle where the arrow appears.
- Place a stop loss below the most recent swing low or 25 pips, whichever is greater.
- Set a take profit target of 40–60 pips, or close when the opposite arrow appears.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for a yellow DOWN arrow from the XMaster Formula indicator.
- Confirm that the main session for the currency pair is open (e.g., trade EUR/JPY during the European session).
- Enter a sell position at the close of the arrow candle.
- Set a stop loss above the last swing high or 25 pips, whichever is greater.
- Take profit at 40–60 pips, or exit when an opposite signal appears.
Advantages
- Combines timing precision with signal accuracy.
- Works on all major pairs and multiple time frames.
- Clear and easy-to-follow arrow signals.
- Helps avoid false entries outside of active sessions.
Drawbacks
- Signals may appear during overlapping sessions, requiring discretion.
- Best performance only during active trading hours.
- May require manual confirmation for ranging markets.
Case Study 1 – EUR/USD (London Session, M15 Time Frame)
During the London open, the P4L Forex World Clock indicated the start of active European trading.
On the 15-minute chart, a yellow UP arrow appeared on EUR/USD at 1.0785.
The buy was taken with a stop loss of 25 pips and a target of 50 pips.
As volatility increased, the pair climbed steadily to 1.0835 within two hours, hitting the target with a gain of +50 pips.
The setup aligned perfectly with both the session timing and the directional momentum shown by XMaster Formula.
Case Study 2 – GBP/JPY (Tokyo Session, H1 Time Frame)
At the start of the Tokyo session, the P4L World Clock confirmed that the Japanese market was active.
On the 1-hour chart, a yellow DOWN arrow appeared on GBP/JPY around 186.25.
The sell trade was taken with a 30-pip stop and 60-pip target.
During the next three hours, GBP/JPY declined steadily as yen strength increased, reaching 185.65 for a +60 pip profit.
This trade demonstrated how matching session activity with the signal direction helps capture early trend movements.
Strategy Tips
- Focus on major pairs that are active during their main session to increase accuracy.
- Avoid trading during low-volume crossover periods between sessions.
- For best results, confirm trend direction on a higher time frame before entering trades.
- Adjust targets based on volatility — higher during London and New York, lower in Asian hours.
- Always close trades before major news events to protect profits.
