ok.....I see how you have the study set up based on session times....the problem with changing the session times is that if I do that then suddenly I no longer have a chart showing just the primary session as it will now include over night data.......and will apply the study to this data also.

As an example let's use the corn contract and I just want a 5 min chart of only the primary session for the last 30 days......so session time is start at 9:30 and end at 14:14:59.

I want the study to draw the high/low lines on the range of only the 14:10 bar of the previous primary session (the last bar)....the 9:30 bar and 9:35 bar of the current primary session (the first two bars).......I do not want to consider any price action that occurred between 14:15 of the previous day and 9:29:59 of the current day. The lines would extend to the end of the current primary session at 14:14:59.

If I have read the instructions correctly.....and that's always a big if....haha.....there does not seem to be a way to use this study on a primary session only chart if you want to reference a time from the previous day. Which brings us back to the original question of is there a way around this limitation?

For what it's worth I can do this with the Time Range Highlight study to obtain vertical lines highlighting the 14:10, 9:30 and 9:35 bars........Jack
