This indicator allows you to display Japanese time on your chart without any discomfort. You can trade with only Japanese time displayed. The design has been kept as it was in the original, so it does not interfere with the original design. Of course, the indicator reflects summer and winter time exactly from the past to the present. Round numbers and the three major market hours can also be displayed. In addition, the time axis zoom can be fine-tuned.

It is somewhat wasteful in terms of space to use a sub-window just to display Japanese time. It would be best if the original display time could be rewritten, but this seems difficult at the indicator level, so the interval between tick marks with date is left as the original with this specification. It is also possible to hide the date and display only the time, or to display hourly intervals for 5-minute or shorter.

Broker GMT This is the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) setting used by your broker (Forex account). If the correct GMT is not selected, Japanese time will be displayed out of date. Most accounts use GMT +2/+3, so there is no need to change it. If you are using an account that uses GMT 0, you will need to change to GMT -1/0. An easy way to tell is that the accounts whose period breaker (0:00 on MT4/MT5) is displayed at 10:00 AM or 9:00 AM (daylight saving time) in Japan are the accounts that use GMT 0. The accounts whose GMT is displayed at 7:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. (Daylight Saving Time) are the accounts that adopt the default GMT +2/+3. We have abandoned the automatic determination of broker GMT.
