To get an Initial Balance from 08:00 to 14:00, you would need to use an Intraday chart. To know if you are using Intraday data or Daily data, look at the setting for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Chart Data Type". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method)

Getting the data for just a single day each week (Monday) and from certain times from that day will take a bit of manipulation, as there is not a direct way to do this (the Initial Balance study is setup to use full days for weekly charts).

Let us know how you are wanting to view the Initial Balance, so we can give you information on how to approach this.

Hi there, I can confirm i'm using an intrada chart already.. data limiting set to "date range" which is a previous monday, and bar period set to 7 days.

Having the initial balance from 8am GMT- 18:00GMT Monday is what i'm looking to do.

Thanks

How are you wanting to display the data from that time? Do you want lines across the chart, do you want them displayed as just numbers on the chart? Something else?
