What I am looking for is a simple overlay to put on my charts in MT4 that will show a light coloured box around each trading day (ie from the open of the Asian session to the close of the NY session) and high and low for the day?

So basically if you go onto your intraday charts there box's around each days high and low range.

Does such an indicator exist?

yes. You will need to set the start and end times for each session. The size of the box will show you the high and low of the session.

That's great, thanks a lot Magnumfreak!

I will have a play around. Is there anyway to get rid of the long line in the current session?

as soon as the first candle closes for the current session it will drop down in size.

Hello Magnumfreak,

I was trying to set this EA up but it does not want to attach itself to any chart.
What do I do wrong?

it is not an EA it is an indicator. Place it in the indicator folder to get it to work.
