Anyway to set Sessions to Display?

- I use 20 days to load for study look back calculation.

- But I only want to see the current session on screen.

I don't even want to see yesterday. I want to start each day session of trading with a blank chart. And preferably have the first bar of that session print on the right hand side, next to the price scale.

I use two charts and the Study/Price Overlay study for this.
Set one chart to 20 day look back (you can hide this).
Then set your displayed chart to 1 day and overlay the studies.

"And preferably have the first bar of that session print on the right hand side, next to the price scale."
Not sure how to do this bit.

TY. Been doing that. But the number of dummy charts that exist only to export a study to a trading chart is getting large. It is a great SC specific function though, I like it.

Also, I find that "days to display = 1" always shows the previous session data on the chart at the next session open bell. If it is 8am pre-open, I do not want to see calendar yesterday's data on the chart. I only want that on the chart in the hours post-close yesterday up until midnight.

My work-around to get a blank chart for the session about to start is:
1. set days to load = 0, hit apply. Nothing changes.
2. then set days to load = 1, hit apply and the chart goes blank. Even the price scale disappears.

But the first bar of the open draws far on the left, away from the price scale. Can't solve that either.
