This link was helpful in narrowing down specifically the problem. In a chartbook with several charts (some using 24 hr sesssion times, some using RTH), to switch the symbol on the charts of the chartbook using a quote board with linked charts, does not work in keeping 2 kinds of session times for the respective charts using the methods explained in the link to the Global Symbol Settings. In further troubleshooting this for the desired result, the next step was to creats a 2nd quote board with the same list of symbols, & using a different number chart link for the RTH charts (there are less RTH charts than 24 hr). This requires clicking on the symbol in each quoteboard when switching between instruments, so that all the charts are on the same symbol. Not that big a deal; however, the new problem discovered is that the session hours will not change according to the individual instrument. For example, the 6E,CL, GC, ES, ZS- all have different Regular Trading hours, & the charts remain on the original instrument's symbol settings. (This is after using the instructions regarding symbol settings via global & chart settings & applying to new instances). The next solution has been this: 1) use the two quoteboard with same list of symbols, separate link # for each list 2) have all the global symbol settings set to use both RTH & Evening Sessions on all new instance 3) Once the charts have loaded, right click on all the charts where RTH is required, & uncheck "Use Evening/Full Session, which has been added to the context menu. These are a lot of steps, is one remaining problem. But the worse one is that it sometimes takes a bit of time to reload some of the charts, like an intraday Daily Bar chart, or a profile that started with the current front month. This makes flipping through instruments periodically a bit slow. Seems there ought to be an option to change instruments in a chartbook using a quoteboard, & assign the appropriate RTH hours to symbols on charts where only the RTH session is desired. |
