OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
ASIA AND LONDON BOXES

---
### Purpose:
This indicator highlights the **Tokyo (Asia) and London trading sessions** on a price chart by drawing boxes around the price action during these time frames. It helps traders visually identify the price range (high and low) for each session across multiple days.
---
### Key Features:
1. **Timezone Selection:**
* You can select the timezone offset (default `'GMT-7'`) for the session times.
* This adjusts when the sessions start and end according to your preferred timezone.
2. **Sessions Defined:**
* **Tokyo session** defaults to 17:00 to 23:00 (5 PM to 11 PM) in the selected timezone.
* **London session** defaults to 23:00 to 05:00 (11 PM to 5 AM) in the selected timezone.
* These are customizable through `input.session()`.
3. **Session Boxes:**
* For each day and session, the script:
* Tracks the highest high and lowest low price during the session.
* Draws a box on the chart covering that price range over the session time.
* Boxes can be styled either as a solid box or just a background color (configurable).
* Box opacity and colors are customizable.
4. **Multiple Days Back:**
* The indicator keeps boxes visible for a user-defined number of days back (default 3 days).
* Old boxes beyond this limit are deleted to keep the chart clean.
5. **Session Start/End Detection:**
* It detects the start and end of the Tokyo and London sessions based on the selected session times and timezone.
* At session start: initializes tracking variables for high, low, and bars.
* During the session: updates the high and low.
* At session end: finalizes the session box.
6. **Box Drawing Details:**
* Boxes are drawn using price coordinates (`yloc=yloc.price`), meaning the vertical edges correspond exactly to the high and low prices of the session.
* Horizontally, the boxes stretch from the session start bar to the session end bar.
7. **Performance:**
* Uses arrays to manage multiple boxes.
* Periodically cleans up old boxes to avoid performance degradation.
