Hi.

The 24h data in the historical charts is truly suboptimal. We have to create CORRECT historical charts by using intraday charts, just in order not to have afterhours data included in the daily charts. This might be a minor problem for futures, but for stocks this is just so NOT STANDARD. So for each daily chart of a stock I want to look at, i have to use up a REALTIME data stream instead of using the historical daily datafeed by SC. This does not make sense.

Am I getting this wrong? Will this be corrected?
Or can you explain the advantage of this default (which by the way is not changeable as I read under Chart Session Times: Day Session Only Daily Chart Bars)

Thanks.

In the case of US stocks, the Historical Daily chart bars only include the regular trading hours. Not pre and post market hours.
