Daily Intraday Chart Date

I'm trading futures, which open at 18:00:00 ET. I've set my session times to 18:00:00 - 16:59:59. This seems to give me an accurate daily candle (open, high, low, close). The issue I have is the date on my chart is reflecting the date associated with 18:00:00, which is the previous day. For example, my "Monday" candle shows the date for Sunday because that's when the candle actually starts. I know it's technically accurate, but not how people would really view the candle date.

Is there a setting to change this or a different way of setting up my daily chart?

Also I'm using the close price at 16:59:59 opposed to the settlement price, which is the reason for the intraday chart.

Thanks.

There is not a way to change how the dates are displayed. They are shown as the actual date-time of the open of the bar.
