-input your own session time for custom 'daily' or HTF candles to overlay on your lower time frame charts.
-based on ICT's notion of 'True Day'. -customize the HTF candles to any start/end time. -set lookback period/cutoff in days (i.e. backtesting vs only viewing recent price action). -option to toggle on/off custom opening price line. -works across all lower time frames.
~useful for visualizing the chunks of the day where the action tends to happen. ~useful for other session times intraday; to be visualized as a single custom HTF candle.

@twingall, This Best HTF overlay Script but, If You can change ploting with Minute to Minute Basis, if You Set eg 5 pm to 4:55pm, When scroll the Timeframe it just give big Block. so user need to change timing according to Chart LTF all the Time.
if use 15m then setting to get most precise Daily Overlay is 5pm to 4:45pm
30m- 5pm to 4:30pm
1h -5pm to 4pm etc.
IF you revise code that Plots candle start of HH:MM to end Of HH:mm then Plot with remain contstant no matter Time frame change

@Mr_JohnWick, I also noticed this, not a big issue but it can be modified in the code. I hope this will be updated soon @twingall thank you!

@Mr_JohnWick, @Trader_Muhammad, can't figure a way to edit the orig code while keeping flexibility of input.session. But for your case, with 'fixed' daily overlay session in mind, you could edit to make _inputSession hardcoded. i.e. replace line 14 like so:
//_inputSession = input.session('1700-1655', title='custom HTF range', group = "custom range")
_inputSession =
timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period) <360 ?'1700-1655': //timeframe is less than 6mins
timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period) <960 ?'1700-1645': // ..less than 16mins
timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period) <1860 ?'1700-1630': //..less than 31mins
timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period) <3660 ?'1700-1600': //..less than 61mins
'1700-1400' // ..for any timeframe higher than hourly
@Mr_JohnWick if you've managed to find a better way please dm me would be keen to know, cheers
