Overview
Custom Session VWAP uses the specified source (default hlc3) to compute the VWAP only while the market is in the custom session (default 0830-1600), then displays the result as an orange line on the chart. The main settings let users select a different source or adjust the session times. The plot appears solely during the active session and disappears outside it. It draws on the price chart without additional panes.
