“TPA Sessions” index is a really important tool to complement “TPA authentic price Action” index.

did you ever wonder, why many instances this price in your chart suddently turns out on an area you can’t describe? 

A position, where seemingly no resistance or support level, or a pivot point, or a fibonacci level is to identify?

Session opening prices, where market makers let price return, to  draw in the opposite participants, into the direction of their goal.

This is one of the methods, market makers use, to give a “discount” to reach the price levels they want.

The best trading advice: “Do not fight against the market makers, just follow them” comes even more into play, if you use  “TPA True Price Action” indicator combined

with “TPA Sessions” indicator.

If price is moving towards a session opening price, you get a “heads up “alert by the indicator, where you can set up, how many pips distance to the level, the alert will trigger.

If the price now “bounced off” the session opening price, you got “TPA True Price Action” indicator to follow the market makers back into the other direction, or through the level of the session opening price.
