Setup:
Full session 18:00 - 17:59:59
Day session 9:30 - 15:59:59
30 minute bars

Draw a VbP on a day starting at the 18:00 bar on day T, when the full session is enabled, and then switch to the day session. The starting bar will be the 15:30 bar on day T.

This seems to be a "get nearest match" bar lookup. I'm wondering if we can have an option for a "containing" match, much like the study/price overlay ( Study/Price Overlay Study: Bar Time Matching Method ). It would be good to be able to start at the first bar after, instead of the last bar before.

Of course the question also arises about the end date/time. I think it makes sense for this to behave as it currently does. The idea is that when going from a broader time to a narrower one, you probably want to bring the start time forward, and the end time back, so that you don't go "outside" the original bounds.
