Hi @John

I checked the updated documentation but the description and name of the setting is not clear/accurate/definitive (to me at least).

It seems the names of the studies are swapped w.r.t. to what the setting does. Also any setting that resets at a certain point should have that indicated in the name.

i didn't check all of them, but for these specific two, these are my thoughts. Please consider changing the setting name and further clarify the description.

=============================
From Session Start Time to End

This defines one Volume Profile at the last day in the chart that starts at the beginning of the trading day and goes through the last bar in the chart. The trading day is defined by the settings for Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times.
=============================

This seems to be using:
Start: Evening Session Start time
End: Time current bar - resets at session end

More clear name of the setting would be: From Trading Day Start to End - Reset at New Day

Assuming that with Trading Day start refers to the Evening Sesssion Start - which could be added as a note

Trading Day Start Time to End - Reset at Day Session

This creates one Volume Profile at the end of the chart which starts at the trading day Start Time which is based on the Session Times, when not using the Evening Session Times.

When using the Evening Session Times, and the latest Date-Time in the chart is in the day session, than the volume Profile will start at the Session Times >> Start Time. When the Evening Session is encountered, then the Volume Profile will start at the Session Times >> Evening Start Time. So it always resets itself to the beginning of the current session within the overall trading day, when using the Evening Session Times.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This setting seems to be working on a PER SESSION basis.

More clear name of the setting would be: From Trading Sessio Start to End - Reset at New Session
