Post From: VWAP - "Date/Time"

Hi,

My global time setting is New York time but I have some markets that have different timezones (eg Nikkei, Bund).
I like to keep all charts showing New York time so I don't get confused.

However, this seems to lead to an issue with Volume Weighted Average Price.
I find I have to change the date to today's date in this study for every symbol and every chart on which it appears and I need to do this every day before I start trading.

For example, the Bund opens at 0150 New York time every day.
However, if I don't change the date to today's date I find that the VWAP is not calculated correctly as the base value is wrong.
Is there anything I can do to avoid having to update the settings for this study every day ?
Is it possible to have an input that replaces "Date" with "Today" by any chance ?
That would help enormously.
It would also help on the Volume By Price Study where you have a product such as the Nikkei that opens on one date (New York time) but continues past midnight new york time. I find that I have to use the Start Date Time for that VBP and also need to change the start date every day.
