Hello support, Quick question, Is there a way to extend overnight session volume value area to a regular time/tick chart and ignoring current developing volume profile? I understand you can achieve this in TPO/VP chart, or manually draw/copy draw from TPO chart to a regular time/tick chart. I tried the 'Volume Value Area Lines' study but the lines are very inaccurate even with 'Draw Develping value' set to no; 'Use Day Session Only' set to no; 'new perid using evening' set to yes.

The "Volume Value Area Lines" gives the exact same results as the VAH/VAL from the Volume by Price, as long as the settings are the same between the studies. So there should not be any issue with using that study. The best way to get what you want would be to have a chart that is set to just cover the Evening Session times and put the "Volume Value Area Lines" study on it. Then use the "Study/Price Overlay" study to overlay those lines on the chart where you want to view them. On the "Study/Price Overlay" be sure to set the Input for "Fill Blanks with Last Value" to "Yes" in order to have the lines draw forward into the current day session.

Okay, that mostly works. The only issue is those overnight VA lines from overlay automatically move to the next overnight values @ around 1:45PM est |

Also, a few of them (night only chart before the overlay) are inaccurate for whatever reason, while most are correctly align with TPO/VP VA chart

Did you create a second chart that has just the evening session times on it? If so, what are the Session Times for that chart? Also, a few of them (night only chart before the overlay) are inaccurate for whatever reason, while most are correctly align with TPO/VP VA chart
We are not certain what you are referencing in this case. The image you provided shows a match between the VAH/VAL lines on the two charts. What exactly is not correct and what are you comparing?
