It's hard to tell what you've got going on there, but here's how I accomplished what you're looking for: I use an intraday chart (NOT a daily chart), and add the DAILY OHLC study to it. This is the study that will then be overlayed onto your destination chart where you want the lines to appear. The relevant study settings: Use this intraday chart: Yes Daily chart number: 1 (doesn't matter) Reference days back: 1 xxx xxx Number of days to calculate: 1 (you may want more days) xxx Use Day Session Only: Yes Everything else set to NO except Always use Same As region for scale, which is YES (probably doesn't matter). The chart is set with the following parameters: Intraday Chart Session Times (I use my own Eastern USA time zone - 9:30 is the NYSE open): Session Start Time 09:30:00 Session End Time 16:14:59 Use Evening Session: YES Evening Start Time 16:15:00 Evening End Time 09:29:59 New Bar at Session Start: YES This is the way I've always done it - I end the day session when the CME session ends, which is 15 minutes after the traditional NYSE "close". You may want to change this. 1080 minute bar period (so the chart draws one bar for the RTH and another bar for the overnight session - exactly 2 bars for every 24-hour day). This doesn't matter if you're hiding the chart, but I like to use this chart to see the past week or so with the RTH and overnight sessions broken apart. I color the overnight bar so that it's greyed out FYI.) Now you'll use the Study/Price Overlay study on your destination chart to add the lines you want to see. Relevant Study Settings: Study to overlay: (whichever chart number and ID# the above study is) Match source bars: yes Copy data mode: use latest value Bar time matching: nearest Copy source data to latest: No Fill blanks with last value: Yes Everything else: No In the subgraphs tab you'll select which parts of the study to draw on the destination chart, and how they appear (colors, line styles, etc). Whatever lines you don't want set to Ignore. I use the Line extended to Edge draw style, but you may want just Line or Dash, etc... For the current session open you could use a second instance of the study on the original chart with the Reference Days Back set to 0, and overlay THAT study on the destination chart also. Hope this helps. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-16 20:28:36
