I want to have a RTH OHCL on a daily chart of mine. I tried referencing it from another chart only displaying RTH, but it shows different values. Screenshot of settings attached.

We need more information on what you are doing. Which chart is the original chart with the Daily OHLC on it and which one is the destination chart? What study are you using to overlay the Daily OHLC between the charts? And we need separate images of each chart so we can see the full chart. We need to be able to see the time scale and the price scale in each image.

Hey, in the pictures i added both charts, and settings on both OHCL charts, to overlay i just set In:1 to No. and referencing the second chart. Also I want to reference the previous day, so yesterday high, low, close. Open is added with a seperate OHCL study because I want this for the current day. |

It's hard to tell what you've got going on there, but here's how I accomplished what you're looking for: I use an intraday chart (NOT a daily chart), and add the DAILY OHLC study to it. This is the study that will then be overlayed onto your destination chart where you want the lines to appear. The relevant study settings: Use this intraday chart: Yes Daily chart number: 1 (doesn't matter) Reference days back: 1 xxx xxx Number of days to calculate: 1 (you may want more days) xxx Use Day Session Only: Yes Everything else set to NO except Always use Same As region for scale, which is YES (probably doesn't matter). The chart is set with the following parameters: Intraday Chart Session Times (I use my own Eastern USA time zone - 9:30 is the NYSE open): Session Start Time 09:30:00 Session End Time 16:14:59 Use Evening Session: YES Evening Start Time 16:15:00 Evening End Time 09:29:59 New Bar at Session Start: YES This is the way I've always done it - I end the day session when the CME session ends, which is 15 minutes after the traditional NYSE "close". You may want to change this. 1080 minute bar period (so the chart draws one bar for the RTH and another bar for the overnight session - exactly 2 bars for every 24-hour day). This doesn't matter if you're hiding the chart, but I like to use this chart to see the past week or so with the RTH and overnight sessions broken apart. I color the overnight bar so that it's greyed out FYI.) Now you'll use the Study/Price Overlay study on your destination chart to add the lines you want to see. Relevant Study Settings: Study to overlay: (whichever chart number and ID# the above study is) Match source bars: yes Copy data mode: use latest value Bar time matching: nearest Copy source data to latest: No Fill blanks with last value: Yes Everything else: No In the subgraphs tab you'll select which parts of the study to draw on the destination chart, and how they appear (colors, line styles, etc). Whatever lines you don't want set to Ignore. I use the Line extended to Edge draw style, but you may want just Line or Dash, etc... For the current session open you could use a second instance of the study on the original chart with the Reference Days Back set to 0, and overlay THAT study on the destination chart also. Hope this helps. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-16 20:28:36

Hey, Thank you so much for helping me, everything worked. But 1 small problem, in the chart, upon new sessions, the OHCL graphs spike to the next ones, instead of just showing the lines seperatly independatly from the sessions. Screenshot below. Any way to fix that? |

On the destination chart, set the Draw Style to Dash for the lines in the study/price overlay study.

Hey, I thought i fixed my OHCL overlaying on my chart displaying RTH session and overnight session seperately, but seems to still not be working as i intended. I want the 2 OHCL studies displaying seperatly depending on the session. I tried to turn off overnight session on the chart etc, but still it is displaying it wrong, showing the daily ohcl, instead of rth.

That's a new piece of information, wanting separate sessions. I'm outside my depth but here's my best guess: You'll probably want to use two instances of the Hi Low for Time Period study for this: High/Low for Time Period If you want Open and Close in addition to High and Low you'll need another instance, since each study only plots two lines. There may be a way to use the OHLC study as before, but you'll have to use multiple source charts with different session times and multiple instances of the Price Overlay study on the destination chart. Good luck, and post the solution when you figure it out. |

I mean I tried it with a second instance of the chart with the ohcl study and overlayed it onto my main one, but still displays the whole day. I’ll try the high/low method when I’m at home. But I don’t know if this study will work for previous days, because I need the previous RTH OHLC on the current RTH session. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-21 16:38:27
