base chart is 1min
with Chart Settings >> Grid >> Vertical Grid = Yes, Period = Quarters
TPO study is 30min / 1 month

The quarters designated by the vertical grid lines are shifted right by 1 month (e.g. current quarter starts with February).

The reason for what you are seeing is due to how the TPO is generated and displayed. Since you have an evening session set for your chart, the TPO starts the day before the actual trading day. This is why you see the starting times for the TPO as "December 31, 2025", "January 31, 2026", "February 28, 2026", etc.

Therefore, when the grid is displayed, it is trying to do it in a location that is the next closest following date. Since December 31, 2025 is not the start of a quarter, the next available date is January 31, 2026.

The only solution to this would be to remove the Evening Session and not have the trading day start in the previous day. We understand that this may not be what you want, but it is the only work around for this.
