The script uses a custom function called `draw_vertical_line` to create vertical lines at predefined times in the UTC-4 timezone. It calculates specific timestamps for six different time intervals and draws green lines for start times and red lines for end times.
The function checks if the current time falls within a 3-minute range of the specified time and draws a line accordingly. Users can also adjust the line placement using the `adjustment_minutes` parameter to ensure precise alignment with chart candles.
