Since updating to the latest version I am having an issue where every time I change futures symbols on a chart the settings will default to not "Use Evening / Full Session" and I have to go to the chart settings and turn the option on. Prior to installing the new version this setting would always remain the same as it was initially set. This is very cumbersome, please advise.

There are one of two things to do. Either follow the instructions here to prevent changing of the Session Times:
Global Symbol Settings: Setting of Intraday Chart Session Times

Or set Use Evening Session Times in the Global Symbol Settings for the Symbol pattern:

Every symbol has different session times and the 'use evening session' is not persisting between symbols changes from a quoteboard.

I have multiple windows in a single chartbook and can no longer switch symbols without having to open each window and re-enable 'use evening session'. Some windows need to remain at 24 hours with no evening session and some windows need to contain symbol-specific session times with evening selected.

Making changes to the settings referenced above has complicated the matter as the right session times are not being applied. Haven't had to touch my charts in a year. All this started after an update into v1580. help.

How this works is straightforward and organized and proper.

When the Session Times settings in the Global Symbol Settings for the symbol or symbol pattern are applied to the chart according to the rules documented here:
Global Symbol Settings: Setting of Intraday Chart Session Times

Then the Intraday >> Use Evening Session setting for the symbol in the Global Symbol Settings is applied to the chart. This is how it should be. There is now a dedicated setting for this.


What we recommend you do is:
- Disable Global Settings >> Symbol Settings >>Apply Intraday Session Times to Intraday Chart.

- Enable Intraday >>Use Evening Session for the symbols or symbol patterns you require it for in the Global Symbol Settings.

- For charts that you want the Session Times to be set from the Global Symbol Settings, enable Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings >>>Apply Intraday Session Times to Intraday Chart.


There was a problem where when using Apply Global Symbol Settings in the Chart >> Chart Settings window, that the Use Evening Session control was not being updated. This is now fixed in version 1592.
