Hello,

I am having an unexpected issue with the Horizontal Line at Time study. I am using it to automatically plot the market open for me on the chart via a point drawn between the times of 09:30:00 and 09:30:01. It works really well, but for some reason, it also plots a dot every Sunday at 6pm (refer to image attached). I'm not sure why it does this as the market isn't even open at 9:30am on Sunday.

Attached is the screen capture of the study input and the chart to show how it plots fine on Friday and Monday, but for some reason also shows up on Sunday evening. Also attached is screen capture of Chart settings. I've tried playing around with the session times and weekend data settings to see if this would affect it but it doesn't.

Its only a minor issue, but still odd that it would mark a point at 6pm when it should only be doing so at 09:30am. If there isn't a glitch, perhaps there is a better way to plot the market open than the way I'm doing it? Thanks.

Time-based studies are very complex to implement. That study has a simple nearest match implementation.

You really need to use the more advanced Time Line study:
