I use the Initial Balance study to show IB High and IB Low on my charts (for ES and NQ). However, I don't want to continue the lines all through the Globex session of the following day. (and I didn't find an option to disable that and end the lines exactly at the end of RTH session) Therefore, I created a second chart that only shows the time period 09:30:00 - 16:59:59 (1 min chart). I put the Initial Balance study on that chart and then I included it with the Study/Price Overlay study on my main trading char (5 min chart). It generally works, but I notice a strange rendering issue. Please see attached screenshot for this: Instead of starting a the first candle at 09:30, there is one line segment drawn on the previous candle (09:25) as well (exactly at the price levels of the previous session's IB High and Low). I assume that I did something wrong in my study configuration, but I simply can't figure it out. Please also find attached screenshots of the IB study and the corresponding Study/Price Overlay. Any assistance with that would be much appreciated. |

You must have data from 09:25 in your source chart that is being overlaid to the destination chart. If you get us those two charts then we can take a look at how you have this setup and help you to resolve it. Follow the instructions at the following link, but get us the 2 charts, not just one, and make sure the issue is still showing in the new chartbook you provide to us: Support Board Posting Information: Providing Chartbook with Only a Single Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
