Hello, I've added the current price line indicator that shows up perfectly fine as orange dotted line on daily chart. But it fails to do so on a four hourly chart. I have attached the pictures.

There is an oddity we see with the 4h charts, where the price in the Price scale shows as 269.10, but the Close as listed in the Chart Header is showing 269.40. As far as we can tell, the chart is scrolled to the end, so it should not be an issue with viewing a previous bar's data. Is the item in the price ladder the Current Price or is it something else that you have set to be displayed there? Please let us know if you are able to resolve the price in the price ladder versus the Chart header. Then we can look into the Current Price Line, as we wonder if these are somehow related.

Ah! Good observation! Unfortunately I am not very proficient and hence have not changed anything in the ladder. However, I have been using Global Symbol Settings for each of my stocks in the watchlist as I wanted to have a different tick size for each stock. Do you think there is something in the global symbol settings I could change to display price line? Attaching all the setting line items from global settings as screenshots |

For what it's worth, I actually got the line back automatically. I just created another chart by duplicating the current chart and when I did that, viola! the current line automatically showed up. It is the orange colored line and value on the ladder. Here is the kicker, it is shadowed by the price on the ladder that shows up in white color. Thoughts?

If you do not want to display the "Last Trade Price Box" as you would rather see that price from the Current Price Line study, then disable the option for "Last Trade Price Box" in the Graphics Settings. You do this by unchecking the "Enable" box for that particular item. Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Last Trade Price Box For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

It shows up just fine for us. We will check it again in the morning and see if there is anything different. But there is no reason for there to be any difference due to time. If you do not see the Current Price Line tomorrow morning, then please restart the software and use the "Safe Mode" option to log in and then open your chartbook and see if the line is then visible. Follow these instructions for how to use "Safe Mode": Sierra Chart - Software Login Instructions: Using Safe Mode Let us know the result of using Safe Mode.

We were finally able to reproduce the issue and traced it down to the Session Times you have set. You have overlapping Evening and Day sessions, which creates a problem when you have the line set to display only for the current day ("Number of Bars to Display On" set to "0"). Change your Session Times so that they do not overlap.
