Hello, I am using the "TPO Value Area Lines" study and encountering an issue with the starting point of the lines when restricting display to the latest period. Issue: When "One Period Only at End of Chart" (In:11) is set to "Yes", the developing Value Area and POC lines do not start at the beginning of the current trading session (09:30 RTH open). Instead, the lines begin far back in the middle of the previous trading day (around 12:55 of the prior day). Expected Behavior: The lines should begin calculating and drawing strictly from the start of the current period/session (09:30) through to the end of the chart. Current Settings: - Time Period Type (In:3): Days - Time Period Length (In:4): 1 - One Period Only at End of Chart (In:11): Yes - Base on Day Session Only (In:15): No I have attached a screenshot displaying both the study settings and the chart behavior. Could you please advise if a specific setting adjustment is required or how to ensure the lines anchor strictly to the start of the current session? Thank you. |

You have the Input for "Base on Day Session Only" set to "No". Therefore, the study is going to start the calculation at the start of the Evening Session as defined by your Session Times. Based on that image, it looks like your Session Times are not set properly. Refer to the following: Chart Session Times And if you only want the Value Area Lines to calculate for the RTH, then you need set the Input for "Base on Day Session Only" to "Yes".
