Hello, I'm trying to set a 1 day intraday chart for the ES futures symbol for the current day and evening session, but the chart shows the previous day. According to the CME, ES session begins at 18:00 and finish the next day at 17:00 -If I set the start session at 18:00 and end at 16:59, the chart begins at 18:00 of the previous day -If I set the start session at 18:00 and end at 9:59, the chart begins at 18:00 of the previous day -If I set the start session at 9:30 and end at 16:59 and (using) the the evening session from 18:00 to 9:29, the chart does not begin at 9:30 but at 18:00 the previous day. -If I set the start session at 9:3o and end at 9:29 and do not use the evening session, the chart begins at 9:30 but of the previous day. What are the proper settings if I need the chart to start at 18:00 (on that day) and finish at either 9:30 of 16:59, or start at 9:30 (on that day) and finish at 9:29 the next day. The ideal is as the exchange sets the session times. 18:00 to 17:00 This times are EST as is my SC set at. Thanks

You already have the answer in your question, just use the exchange times. Intraday chart bar is based on date/time at start of bar, so as trade begins in the previous day, so does the intraday 1 day bar.
