Hi Sierra,

Regarding Post #24
Thank you for your Response.
I am aware of the Settings that you mention, but these settings unfortunately don’t work for the Purpose I was Asking. Maybe I am doing something wrong or there is a bug. Please see below.
My Settings for the Test are:

a)
ln:26 (Set New Period at Day Session Start When Using Evening Session Input)
Input: Yes

b)
Ln:17: TPO Letter/Block Colors
Input: Separate Colors for Day and Evening Sessions.

c)
Subgrapgh SG13

d)
Session Times: TimeZone +1 CET (Europe, Germany) – for the Eurex Exchange
https://up.picr.de/39651748gr.png

e)
And I get the following result:
http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1602751676455.png
As you can see there is no clear difference in the colouring, between the overnight session and the RTH-session.
Yellow is in both Sessions. Brown is not displayed at all.
Is this an Error?


I Just want a clear different colouring between the sessions.

As workaround I am using the Study “Time Range Highlight - Transparent “, one for RTH-Session, one for the Evening Session.
But as soon as I split the TPO-Profile the studies wont work correctly anymore (because they are not native supported in the TPO-chart) and then I need to manually Recalculate the chart to display the Highlighting of the two sessions correctly again.
I would want something like this:
http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1602751788220.png

Even better would be like this (LN26 set to NO):
Here there is clear marking between the Sessions. Also achieved with Study “Time Range Highlight - Transparent “
1.  Pre-RTH-Session (overnight) from 00:00:00 till 08:59:59
2.  RTH – Regular Trading Hours of the Exchange from 09:00:00 till 17:29:59
3.  After-RTH-Session (overnight) from 17:30:00 till 00:00:00

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

1. Right click on the profile. There is an option to have the profile closed and open side by side
2. see the settings --> new statistics
3. see other settings: total tpo count, align with volume profile...

I do not see any of these settings either. Thank you.

User722856: Re post #25:

The problem is with your Session Times. Your Evening Session times are 00:00:00 to 23:59:59, which is the entire day. You need to correct your session times so that they do not overlap.

Dear Sierra,

In Response to Post #28 and #25:

Regarding my Session times. There is a reason why I use it like this, because if I don’t there is no possibility to quickly switch between the 24h-Session and the RTH-Session.
This is a design GAP in my opinion, or I am doing something wrong.

Please see and compare a) and b) below – the problems described under c)

a)
MY CHART

ln:26 (Set New Period at Day Session Start When Using Evening Session Input)
Input: No
Ln:17: TPO Letter/Block Colors
Input: Separate Colors for Day and Evening Session
Added Study “Time Range Highlight - Transparent “, one for RTH-Session, one for the Evening Session.

b)
SIERRA STANDARD

ln:26 (Set New Period at Day Session Start When Using Evening Session Input)
Input: No
Ln:17: TPO Letter/Block Colors
Input: Separate Colors for Day and Evening Session
Added Study “Time Range Highlight - Transparent “, one for RTH-Session, one for the Evening Session.
https://up.picr.de/39657631cn.png

c)
GAPs between MY CHART and the way the TPO-Sessions are currently designed:


1.  no possibility to quickly switch between the 24h-Session (ETH-Session) and the RTH-Session.
See the Exclamations marks on the Picture:
https://up.picr.de/39657631cn.png
A new TPO profile start at 17:30 because this is set in the chart settings. No 24h-Session possible.
--> With my workaround this is Possible. All heavy TPO-Users have the sessions set like shown under a).
So we can quickly switch between the 24h-Session and the RTH-Session.

2.  Regarding the Much-needed function for the TPO-Chart would be Session highlighting, native integrated into the TPO.
The coloring without the Study “Time Range Highlight - Transparent “is not really helpful.
Because the Value Areas are always the same color, we just don’t see any difference.
The overnight-Sessions are mostly in the VA, this will be 80% of the time white.

There needs to be another setting for the TPO -Overnight Value Area, something like SG13.
Or even better native support for Study “Time Range Highlight - Transparent “

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Dear Sierra,

In Response to Post #30.
I deeply value your work, and the great product you have created.
I have nothing against billing per se, but with a fixed price.

Why is this billed per hour?

How can I reach you to talk out the details?

Thanks.

Best regards

rel 2187

Thank you guys, I'm very very happy today with those new features, it took some time but the results seem to be good at a first quick test.

In relation to the multi-session feature, if it's not too difficult, is it possible to add the option to differentiate the color of each of the 5 sessions?

TY

Regarding Release 2187,
Thank you, I can agree with the User above that it looks very good so far.

Another killing Feature would be Quick Switching between these newly added “Custom Intraday Sessions” and the 24h-Session.

Something like this:
Chart Session Times: Quick Switching between the Full Session and Day Session

Button on the Control Bar to switch between Full Session and this “Custom Intraday Sessions”.

Thanks.
