Hello Sierra Chart, I use Custom Intraday Sessions for split a TPO chart into multiple profiles. What I have found is that if three Custom Intraday Sessions are configured (Begin Times & End Times), if the "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions" is set to less than the number of Custom Intraday Sessions configured, the time of the final TPO, i.e., the second TPO if three Custom Sessions are configured but only two are specified for the "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions", then the time of the second TPO profile includes the End Time of the third Custom Intraday Session. For example: - Custom Intraday Session #1: 09:00-11:59:59 - Custom Intraday Session #2: 12:00-14:59:59 - Custom Intraday Session #3: 15:00-17:59:59 If "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions" of custom session is set to three then three TPO profiles display, however, if "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions" is set to two, then two TPO profile display, but the second TPO End time is 17:59:59. Thank you

Would like to see a picture of that TPO chart. So you need to add a fourth session to get what you want to see?

Hi, See the attached for the TPO Settings and TPO Charts. If the "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions" is changed to two from three, then the times automatically adjust. Notice the second TPO profile for the "Two Custom Sessions" includes the TPOs for the third profile (which it shouldn't).

This is not a bug. The TPO still needs to cover the entire time that you have set for the Session Times. So whatever you set for "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions" is set to, the last of these will be forced to cover the entire remaining period. In your example, this means that when the "Number of Custom Intraday Sessions" is set to "2", the "Custom Intraday Session 2 End Time" will always update to 1 second before the setting for "Custom Intraday Session 1 Start Time". If you do not want to have a profile for a specific period of time (such as from 15:00:00 to 08:59:59), then you would need to adjust your Session Times to not include those hours.

Hi John, For the "Session Times", are you referring to the chart "Session Times" (Chart Settings > Session Times)?

Yes. If you want to have a TPO that does not cover the entire period, then you need t adjust the Chart Session Times: Chart Session Times For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
