That chart is a Daily Historical chart, meaning it is using daily historical data, which only has OHLC and Volume data for each day. Therefore, you can not change the Session Times. If you want specific session times for a daily (or higher) timeframe, then you need to set the data to use the Intraday data by setting the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Chart Data Type" to "Intraday Chart Only". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method menu)

The first thing you need to do is determine why the working orders were removed. You need to check your "Trade Activity Log" and find the orders lines that show the removal of those orders. Refer to the following:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

Once you know why they were removed, then you can remediate that particular issue (such as a Time in Force setting).

But the follow on, in terms of how to put a pair of attached orders back on if they others were removed is to use one of the Order Types of "Send Attached Orders by Price/Position". Refer to the following:
Order Types: Send Attached Orders - Position/Price
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
