Post From: Charting the difference between yesterdays close and the current price

Sorry...mistake in the prior post! Please use this one.

I'm plotting the difference between yesterdays close and the current price of the ES.
I'm using:
1. One main 5 minute ES chart that is set to start: 15:30 stop 15:14:59
2. Added Study/Price Overlay for another daily ES chart that is set to start: 8:30 stop 15:14:59
3. Added study subgraph subtract/difference:
Input study #1 = main 5 minute ES chart using the Last option
Input study #2 = main daily ES chart using the Last option
Study 2 subgraph offset = 1
Draw zeros = yes
Perform subtract with zero value = yes

Problem:
The study subgraph subtract/difference doesn't look at the current last daily bar (item #2) correctly throughout the trading session.
Normal output currently:
During the regular trading of 8:30 - 15:14:59 the plot has the correct value, looks at the last daily bar which is 1 day.
During the after hours trading of 15:30 - 8:29:59 the plot has the incorrect value...it still uses 2 days prior instead of 1 day. I can change the "Study 2 subgraph offset = 1" to "Study 2 subgraph offset = 0" and I get the correct value.
Thanks
