Thant you for this indicator!

I now use it to mark the first hour zone (high & low)

can you add an option to replace the box by drawing lines on high & low for every session?  its good for keep this levels to the next hours/day.

sugesstion: current session solid line, prev' session dots line…

Thanks alot for your help YesOrNot2. I Will put my source code here. I was thinking making this indicator again but now base on Market Hours (sessions built-in on ctrader). Since they are always accurate, we don't need to set the hours.
