Hello, Could you please add an option in Symbol Settings > Other Settings to disable "New Bar At Session Start" for all chart windows? Currently, this setting is set to "Yes" by default for every new window the user opens. This causes the hourly bars for ES, NQ, YM, and other futures markets to not start at the correct time, due to the session beginning at 9:30. Therefore, this setting must be set to "No" in every new window for the bars to start correctly (assuming that Evening Start Time = 18:00:00). This is quite cumbersome. A global option to disable "New Bar At Session Start" would elegantly solve this problem. Would it be possible to implement this, please? Thank you. |

For the use case that you are presenting, you should change your Session Times. It sounds like you do not need a separate Evening and Day session, therefore, you should not use an evening session and set your Day session to cover the times you want. For example, if you want the chart to start the trading data at 18:00:00, and if you want to ensure that you have a new bar at that time every day, then you should set the following Session Times: - Start Time: 18:00:00 - End Time: 17:59:59 - Use Evening Session: No Otherwise, if there were a global option to turn off "New Bar at Session Start" with each new chart, then this would mean that any non-time-based chart (Range, Number of Trades, etc.) would never have a specific starting time. And we question is this is something you really want. You can change the Session Times in the Symbol Settings, so you can always get the specific Session Times you want for any specific product.
