Could you point me to how I could customise my candlestick charts?

I would like it to start from GLOBEX OPEN 0600 EST to 0459 the next session?

Thanks. Im able to customise the chart session time

Is there a link showing how to use the fibonacci tool and also displaying candle values?

the fibonacci tool comes out as a wave instead. Also I'm having difficulty displaying the candle values on my hourly chart

Maybe you want to use the Price Retracement tool:
Chart Drawing Tools: Price Retracement (2 point) | Price Expansion (2 point) | Price Projection (3 point) Tools

And here are the instructions to see Chart Values:

Hi Engineering Team

I noticed a lag while scrunging my hourly charts with daily volume profile.

Is this because my laptop can't handle so much data on a single chart?

You need to increase this Input to a higher value:
Volume By Price Study: Ticks Per Volume Bar

We would recommend increasing it, by 5 to 10 times higher.

I see. Is this also what is commonly known as tick compression?

another question,

so there are 2 options for ticks per volume bar I.e intraday & historical

what count as historical chart? or can I safely assume my tick & hourly charts are both considered intraday charts?
