//| Code based on TIME1_modified.mq4 shown below |
//| posted to Forex Factory by glenn5t |
//| Concept of the break-out box form by Markj |
//| |
//| ++ modified so that rectangles do not overlay |
//| ++ this makes color selection more versatile |
//| +++ code consolidated to facilitate changes |
//| +++ changed period B rectangle and added offset value |
//| +++ corrected error in high-low code |
//| ++++ added ability to cross mid-night(nextDayA, nextDayB) |
//| ++++ added Unique ID to allow for multiple indicators |
//| ++++ added ability to delete specific rectangles |
