Post From: During premarket, what parameter makes current price keep updating on the right side scale

Following Interactive Brokers' recent change to its symbols, I changed my global symbol settings so "trade and current quote symbol" is now ???-STK-SMART-USD, or for a few exceptions the even fuller format: ???-STK-SMART/NYSE-USD which avoids any confusion. The main Sierra Chart symbol remains ???_MBO in all cases. That's great.

I have three monitors. My only instance of Sierra Chart launches on the central screen. I have detached a few charts, moved them so they appear on my left and right screens. My right screen is a watchlist: during premarket hours, prices on the right side scale kept updating before I made this recent change to global symbol settings. Now, they don't. I either have to activate Chart >> Use Evening/Full session (since I'm looking for gaps, I want to keep this off most of the time) or wait for markets to open at 9:30. Otherwise, the price on the right side scale stays stuck where it closed yesterday.

I want it to keep moving up or down, depending on where it currently is if I'm looking at it at 9 am, for example.

If I create a NEW chart, what I'm looking for happens naturally. I don't need to make any change to any setting.
However, I've already got quite a lot of charts on my watchlist and they're all personalized, to a point where it would take me tens of hours to rebuild them in every detail.

Going to Chart Settings >> Apply Global Symbol Settings doesn't solve it.

Do you know what exact setting makes the current price keep updating during premarket, without "Use Evening/Full session" activated?
