is there any fast way of switching an intraday chart between the day session and an full 24h session? can I create (or is there) a button in a menue or a keyboard-shortcut?

Yes, you can quickly switch between a Day Session and the 24 hour session. Please refer to the documentation here:

Thx! (and generally thx for your quick replys)

I did now sett the session times for an intrady gold chart.
worked. then I changed the bar period to daily. there I do not see the gaps anymore.
and when I now switch back to an 60min chart the session is set to 24hours again.

generally I wanted to ask what happens when I set the bar period of an intrady chart to daily. does sierra then take the daily data-file of the same symbol or does sierra just make a daily chart out of the intrady data?

thx in advance!
PS: at the beginning I was actually not too happy with the "layout" of sierra and also the menues etc. but I start really liking it! :-)

one more thing. at the moment I am connected with the "Sierra Historical intraday Futures data" source.
changing from eg 15mins bar to 60mins bar takes about 2,5 secs. Is that normal? If yes - is it up to the feed?
thx!

Refer to help topic 30 here:
Http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/helpdetails30.html

It is impossible to say whether that is normal or not. There are various things which can affect it.

thank you. I am pretty much sure its non of those reasons.
I am jut getting familiar with Sierra. I have max 2-3 charts open, the machine is new and rather fast (SSD, 8GBRAM, i5).
there are no studies on the chart despite for 2-3-4 volume profiles. (calculation of profiles is set to 1 tick.)
I dont run any other programs, etc.

what about quesitions on #3, especially first one, rest is not so important?
thank you!

We are getting to your other questions now.

You need to set the Session Times through Global Symbol Settings:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php

This way, you will not lose the settings in the chart because the chart will be set from those settings.
