Hello all! I am looking for an indicator, or info on how to create the indicator that plots the Asian session overnight price action from the low to the high in a rectangle box for TOS. Right now I am having to keep plotting a new rectangle each morning on a few charts and its getting old and a time consumer.

Thank you for your time.

Here's a study to draw high/low of the specified time range. I have it set to the Tokyo morning session.

Jay

 
Code
input sessionStartTime = 2000;
input sessionEndTime = 2230;

def day = GetDay();
def lastDay = GetLastDay();
def isToday = day == lastDay;
def isTargetPeriod = SecondsTillTime(sessionStartTime) <= 0 and SecondsTillTime(sessionEndTime) > 0 and isToday;

def targetPeriodHigh = if isTargetPeriod and high > targetPeriodHigh[1] then high
  else targetPeriodHigh[1];
def pmHigh = HighestAll(targetPeriodHigh);

plot pmHighPlot = if isTargetPeriod then pmHigh else Double.NaN;
pmHighPlot.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);


def targetPeriodLow = if !isTargetPeriod then Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY
  else if isTargetPeriod and low < targetPeriodLow[1] then low 
  else targetPeriodLow[1];

def pmLow = LowestAll(targetPeriodLow);

plot pmLowPlot = if pmLow > 0 and isTargetPeriod then pmLow else Double.NaN;
pmLowPlot.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);

Thank you for your time.

The eight (8) hour interval will get you quite close.
