Issue with Daily OHLC study after version 1549

I found there is a change with the Daily OHLC study after version 1549 that is causing me trouble. I use two instances of this study to plot the high and low for the previous day, but also the high and low during RTH only (0930 to 1700 ET). You can see this in my chart. Solid green line is the high and low during the entire previous day, whereas the dashed green line is only between 0930 and 1700, hence the RTH session.

The first image shows how this used to plot in version 1549 and earlier. (for reference, the blue dot is the Horizontal Line at Time study to mark the open at 0930, and the pink dot marks the close at 1615. The blue lines is the High/Low for Time Period study to mark the overnight high and low just before the 0930 open)

You can see in this first image, version 1549, that the RTH high and low via the dashed green line shows up nicely. It is circled via red and falls between the solid green levels, since on the previous day, 4/24, price didn't reach the overnight high and low, hence the RTH high and low is between the full daily high and low shown by the solid green lines.

In the next image, version 1558, this Daily OHLC study to mark the intraday high and low shows up differently. It doesn't start now until 0930 ET, as opposed to right at 1800 when the market opens after being close for an hour, which I guess is ok, but on the third image, "session times", you can see how this line now extends past 1800 into the next day. (hence its showing the RTH high from 2 day ago) You can see how I have my session times set up in this third image. At 1800ET, it is my understanding that the next session starts, but this is the overnight session for us here in North America.

Looking at the study inputs, I see no reason why things changed between versions 1549 and later versions. I suppose playing around with session times might change things, but it still makes no sense why the regular use of Daily OHLC study ends properly at 1800, whereas selecting "Use Day Session Only" extends this line into the next day.

Is there a reason for this change or can it be put back exactly how it worked before? I see no mention of this study being updated anyway so I'm not sure why its plotting like this now.

Thanks.

This is way too complicated the way you are presenting this. The only way we can clearly understand this and accept this, is if you explain this with a single study instance and post an image of a chart by following these instructions:

The most we can make out of this, is that you may want to set the Display on Day Session Only Input to Yes.

Otherwise, the day session only lines will continue until the next day session. This is how it should be, unless Display on Day Session Only is set to Yes.

This is way too complicated the way you are presenting this.

Sorry about that. Yes, I can see how it was too complicated.

I have removed all the other studies and just shown one instance of Daily OHLC. If I select the "Display on Day Session Only" input to yes, then they do in fact match, but if this is set to no, where the line starts and ends is different between the versions. Note that in version 1549, at 1800, the line starts, so during the overnight action after 1800, I can see where the high and low was during the day session that just finished. In version 1558, there is no way to show this during the overnight action after 1800. It shows this after 1800 on the following day. I have drawn this onto the chart via the segment circled, showing the low from the previous day session, not the session that just ended. The circled segment starts at 1800 on Tuesday night, which is really the wednesday session now, but its showing the low during RTH from Monday, not Tuesday that just finished.

In the last image, entitled "1558 - using entire session", the input for "Use Day Session Only" in set to NO, and it displays the high and low properly after 1800, when the day ended. But for some reason, when this setting is set to YES, then it shifts the line over which makes no sense. All it should do is use the high and low between 0930 and 1700, but draw the line in the same time frame. Changing the "Use Day Session Only" input from YES to NO changes where it is drawn, not just the high and low points.

It worked perfectly in version 1549, and changed for some reason after version 1556.

The reason why this is important is this. As we are in the overnight session now, sticking with version 1549, it draws for me the previous day high and low properly, and also the high and low for the day session only, as outlined by the red arrow. If I was on version 1558, it would not be showing me this RTH day low, it would only show it after the market open, 7 hours from now, and extend it into the next day which is useless.

OK we think we understand now. Do not provide any further information.

We still want to review post #3 a little more, but the issue is resolved in 1559. We will actually add a study Input to have it behave either way.

but the issue is resolved in 1559

I am on version 1559 now, but having trouble seeing any changes. As mentioned before, changing only one variable, the "Use Day Session Only" input, changes how the lines are drawn. If the entire 24hr session is used, like in the first attachment, the high and low for the previous day show up as expected and are drawn after 1800 ET, since this is now the overnight session of the next day. Once "Use Day Session Only" is set to yes, the lines move. There is no way to get this line to show up after 1800 ET, which is now the overnight session for the next day, as outlined on the second attachment, and there is also the extra line extended which is the low from the RTH session 2 day ago, and hence completely wrong.

Am I missing something or some inputs? Thanks.

The revision of 1559 you have most likely does not have the change. Update to 1561.
