Hi, I have a question regarding the Initial Balance settings on the TPO Profile. My TPO Profile covers a full 24-hour session, but I need the Initial Balance to be calculated using only subperiods number 31 and 32, which in my case correspond to the time range 15:30 to 16:30 (U.S. Cash open hour). The issue is that the Initial Balance always starts from the beginning of the profile, meaning from subperiod 1, and I can’t find a way to set it to start from subperiod 31. Is there any way to configure this so that the Initial Balance begins at a specific subperiod within the profile? Thanks in advance. |

There is not a way to have the Initial Balance that is built into the TPO profile to use specific sub-periods. It is always going to use the first set of periods. Given what you have stated, one option would be to have a separate chart that only charts the Regular Trading Hours, so it would start at 15:30 per the times you mention. This would then mean the Initial Balance would be from 15:30 to 16:30. Otherwise, you would need to use a separate chart to determine the initial balance for the time period of 15:30 to 16:30. You would use the "High/Low for Time Period" study for this, just be sure to enter the ending time as "16:29:59". Refer to the following: High/Low for Time Period You can then use the "Study/Price Overlay" to overlay that back to the TPO chart. Just keep in mind that due to how the TPO displays with time, you may need to play with the settings to get what you are looking for, or it may not be possible exactly, so you might just have to get close to what you want.

Hello, Do you mean that I should create a separate chart using an RTH profile so I can set the IB from 15:30 to 16:30? Then I would use the Price Overlay study—should I set it to transparent so the RTH TPOs aren’t visible and only the IB lines remain? Thanks! |

You use the "Study/Price Overlay" to get the IB information into the TPO chart you want. If you are good with it in the other chart and do not need it in the 24 hour TPO chart, then you do not need to overlay it. As mentioned previously, the TPO chart deals with the time scale differently, so sometimes using the "Study/Price Overlay" does not work perfectly. You need to play with how you want the Initial Balance to show up in that chart. Then you can see if there is an option for transparency for the given Draw Style you are using.
