"Hide Overlap" Feature added.

Hide Overlaps - True: This option helps maintain a cleaner chart by displaying only non-overlapping order blocks. For traders who prefer a straightforward and uncluttered view, this can simplify decision-making by focusing on distinct order blocks.

Hide Overlaps - False: When this option is disabled, overlapping order blocks are displayed. Some traders might find value in seeing these overlaps because they can indicate areas of increased significance where multiple order blocks coincide. These regions could be interpreted as stronger zones of support or resistance.
