SCROLLING THROUGH A CHART OR DRAWING A LINE TO THE RIGHT UNTIL A DESIRED FUTURE DATE AND TIME IS

I scroll through a chart (or draw a line) to the right and can go only so far into the future. Some lines I need to draw must extend through the last trading day of the following week - on BOTH "day session only" and "twenty-four hour" charts. I've read the information on the "right fill space" but can get nothing to work. Don't want to use rays or extended lines because the lines must stop at some end point.

If you grab the chart with the hand tool, then you can move the chart to the left and expose up to 150 bars on the right, but currently that's the limit.

The limit of 150 can be increased through Chart >> Chart Settings >>Advanced Settings >>Number of Forward Columns.

Here is the complete documentation:

I've tried everything you kindly suggest. Have unlocked fill space, used the hand tool to scroll, pressed the arrow in lower right-hand corner of chart, pressed the right arrow key, increased the number of forward columns, all with no success. What I want to do on an intraday, 15-minute (day session) chart, for example, is display Friday's close (October 17) with a line on Monday's (tomorrow, October 20) chart that extends to the end of Monday's day session. But I can neither scroll nor draw a line that far forward. Moreover, I note that the available dates displayed on the chart include October 18 and 19, yet these dates are for SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, when there is no (day session hours) trading!

From what we understand you just need to increase this:
Chart >> Chart Settings >>Advanced Settings >>Number of Forward Columns.

Or you just may need to uncheck Chart >> Chart Settings >> Load Weekend Data if you do not want to see Saturday or Sunday. This will probably be all you need to do.
