- RTH 1 ago and RTH 2 ago if I'm not using ETH evening Sessions

For this, it's pretty easy. Use two copies the Volume Value Area Lines and if the chart has both RTH and ETH, then set the following in that study:
- Time Period Type: Day
- Time Period Length: 1
- Reference n Periods Back: 1 (for one of the studies), 2 (for the other study)
- Use Day Session Only: Yes


- RTH 1 ago ETH 1 ago if I am using Evening Session.

Sorry, but we need to make sure we understand this a little better.

We understand you have a 24 hour chart with RTH and ETH separated out. If the current bar is in the RTH hours, do you want to see the VAH/VAL for that trading day's ETH (i.e. if your Session Times are 14:30:00 to 21:59:59 and your ETH is 22:00:00 to 14:29:59, then at 16:00:00 on trading day 5 (keep in mind the trading day starts at the start of the ETH) do you want to see the data from the Day 5 ETH (the most recent ETH) or do you want to see the data from the day 4 ETH?

And then what do you want to see when you move to the ETH for the next trading day (i.e. same day, but now after 22:00:00

The same questions for the RTH, but with the addition of what is 2 periods back? Is that the RTH from 2 trading days before, or is it the most recent ETH and then the previous day RTH?
