--- Important Note on Session Times & DST ---
- The Session "Start Time" parameters (e.g., "08:00", "14:00") are interpreted based on the indicator's internal TimeZone setting, which is fixed at GMT / UTC (GMT Standard Time) for consistency across different broker servers.
- This indicator does not automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes that occur in the actual financial centers (like London, New York, Sydney).
- You MUST manually adjust the "Start Time" parameters in the indicator settings when DST changes affect the GMT/UTC equivalent of the local market open/close you want to track.
- Example: London typically opens at 8:00 AM local time. During winter (GMT), you set London Start Time to "08:00". When London switches to British Summer Time (BST = GMT+1), their 8:00 AM local open happens at 07:00 GMT/UTC. To keep the box aligned, you would need to change the London Start Time parameter to "07:00". Similar adjustments are needed for New York's DST shifts.
- Please verify the correct GMT/UTC times for your desired session openings during DST periods and update the parameters accordingly for accurate visualization.
