How It Works:
1. Time Adjustment:
- The indicator adjusts the current chart time by applying the user-defined hour and minute offsets.
- This ensures the "opening candle" aligns with your specific trading session requirements.

2. First Candle Detection:
- When the adjusted time matches the start of a new day (midnight with offsets), the indicator captures the high and low of the first candle.
- These values are stored and remain static throughout the trading day.

3. Plotting:
- The high and low levels of the opening candle are plotted on the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
