Hi,

I use OHLC levels for different session times but in chart settings there's only 2 session time options. But in reality there are 3 sessions. The US cash open to cash close, the hour of trading starting at the cash close and then the overnight session that starts after the market is closed for 1 hour. I use multiple OHLC studies to track different levels in the different sessions. The issue I'm having is that I don't want the regular trading hours session to include the 1 hour after the cash close and I don't want the overnight session to take that one hour of trading into consideration for it's OHLC levels either but I do want to see the price action that occurs during that 1 hour after the cash close. You would think there would be a way to add a custom session for that one hour of trading after the cash close so I don't have a gap in my charts but I'm not seeing it.

Thanks

Maybe I'm not completely understanding what you're looking to do, but could you create three separate charts each with a different session time (day session, overnight, and cash-close to halt)? Then add the OHLC study to each of them, then overlay each of those studies onto your main chart?
