Hi John / Support. I have my chart broken up into RTH (Start/End)) and ETH (Evening) sessions. So during a 24 hour period in Sierra terms I have defined both a Start Session (I'll call this Daytime) and an Evening Session. If I am currently in a Daytime Session and I have added 2 Volume Areas Lines studies with the first set to reference 1 period ago and the second to reference 2 periods ago, then: reference n periods back = 1 should be the recently expired Evening Session reference n periods back = 2 should be the previous Daytime Session Alternatively, If I am currently in an Evening Session: reference n periods back = 1 should be the recently ended Daytime Session reference n periods back = 2 should be the previous Evening Session However, it seems the study might only consider the first 2 parameters specified in: Chart Settings >> Session Times >> (Session Start Time / Session End Time), as a valid "reference" period in its calculations, omitting the Evening. For example, when "Use Evening Session = Yes, it does not consider the "Evening" as a "reference period" when referencing (n) periods back. Thus, if am currently in a Daytime Session and I have added the above Volume Areas Lines, studies, then: reference n periods back = 1 should be the recently ended Evening Session -> but it is not presented reference n periods back = 2 should be the previous Daytime Session -> which is presented, as are the Daytime Volume Area Lines for the "Daytime"; 2 "Daytime" periods ago. Have I misunderstood the settings or is the study not considering the "Evening Session" as a valid look back period? I hope this makes sense. Many thanks. |
