Post From: How to Display Activity Between Session Times?

Hello Sierra Chart,
I am trying to achieve the following on a regular intraday candlestick chart. Note, I use the same chart to switch between RTH and Full (RTH + Evening) sessions:
1. Use a Cash/RTH session time of 09:30:00-15:59:59
2. Use an Evening session time of 18:00:00-09:30:00
3. Display activity that occurs between 16:00:00-17:59:59

Currently, due to the Cash/RTH and Evening session times above, activity between 16:00:00-17:59:59 isn’t displayed.

There are two reasons why I’m not specifying an Evening session start time of 16:00:00:
1. I have multiple studies on the chart that I require to only calculate based on a Cash/RTH time of 09:30:00-15:59:59.
2. When setting a bar period to a higher time frame such as 4hr, I require the bar to start at 18:00:00 (“New Bar At Session Start” is set to “No”). The above achieves this, however, if using a 4hr bar, then any activity from 16:00:00-17:59:59 is not displayed in the final 4hr bar that begins at 14:00, i.e., the final 4hr bar is incomplete.

I understand that I could create separate charts based on the different time frames, with Chart 1 configured as 09:30:00-15:59:59 with “Use Evening Session” set to “No”, and Chart 2 configured as 09:30:00-16:59:59 with the Evening session configured as 18:00:00-09:30:00, however, I would like to avoid creating and managing an additional chart.

Thank you
