Reference Times

The theory behind this indicator is that sometime the graph will change its direction at a point that is the point it reached at that weekday on that time in the previous weeks. If you can easily see what happened a few weeks ago on this day's weekday and a half an hour from now, you might theoretically gain more assurance as to where the graph might go in the next half an hour.
This of course relies of the premise that some traders choose to enter or exit positions according to historical times they are referencing. Hence the name - Reference times.

Example:
it is now 08:00 ET Wednesday. I want to guess what the graph will do in half an hour. I enter in the indicator the weekday "Wednesday", the time "8:30", and go to 30 minute candles.
I will then see all the candles the graph has been on historical Wednesdays at 8:30. If the candles are below the 08:00 price, we might guess that the graph might want to descent. If they are above the graph, we would guess the graph might want to ascend.


How it works:
The user defines a weekday and time he wants to inquire on.
The script searches for past weekdays and similar hours.
It marks these bars at their wicks.
The user can also inquire "opposite hours" - 12 hours ahead or earlier.
The user can also inquire "opposite days" - Monday<->Wednesday, Tuesday<->Thursday.
In addition, the User may inquire the previous day of his selected weekday, which will mark the most recent previous day existent.
Side note: The Time zone offset is set for Jerusalem time. and so it may need future adjustment.
