Settings and studies:
TPO chart study.
Multiple Profiles Based on Fixed Time.
Letters start at primary session time: yes
Morning session Times: 9.30-17.59.59 and evening session 18.00 to 9.29.59 (NY time) on Mini S&P 500 chart.

I want initial balance from 9.30 to 10.30 (first 2 periods: A+B)
Whatever i try, each new TPO starts at 18.00 (instead of 9.30) and draws the IB not from A+B, butt R+S. I am completely perplexed about this.
How can i get the TPO chart start from Morning Session and letter A, and draw initial balance of AB.

Do you have the TPO profile chart set to display two separate profiles, one for the day session one for the evening session?

If not, then do not use Evening Session and instead set the Session Start Time to:
09:30:00

And the Session End Time to:
09:29:59

For more information, refer to:

Thank you.
I see i either have to choose between correct IB, or the convenience of having separate colors for morning/evening session.

Ideally i would like to have a single profile from 9.30 - 9.29.59, with separate letter colors for (or ability to visually distinquish between) "cash hours" (9.30-18.00) and "non-cash hours" (18.00-09.30) on s&P500 market, and IB from the start of the morning session (9.30 - 10.30) or both.

Ok we see what you mean. We will see if it is not difficult to change what periods the initial balance will reference in this case.
