Description:
The SessionBox indicator is designed to visually represent the trading sessions on a chart, specifically the Asian, European, and American sessions. This indicator draws customizable rectangles around each session, allowing traders to easily identify different trading periods. It also includes labels to denote each session, enhancing clarity.
Users only need to input the session start and end hours in their server time. Please note, the Asian session starting hour shouldn't be changed as the indicator set it already with the start of any trading day.
