import "SessionBox" as sb

indicator("Session Box Example", overlay=true)

// Function arguments explained:
// drawSessionBox(
// string sessionName: Label for the session (default: ""),
// string sessionTime: Time range in "HHMM-HHMM" format (required),
// string sessionZone: Time zone (default: "GMT+0"),
// color boxColor: Box background color (default: color.blue),
// int boxBorderSize: Border thickness (default: 2)
// )

sb.drawAsiaSession() // Default Asia session: "0000-0900", GMT+0
sb.drawLondonSession() // Default London session: "0700-1600", GMT+0
sb.drawNewYorkSession() // Default New York session: "1300-2200", GMT+0

// Customized default session
sb.drawAsiaSession("0100-0800", "GMT+2", color.new(color.green, 50), 1)

// Custom session box
