Is there a way to use the Time Range Highlight-Transparencies to make Time Blocks on the overnignt session? At the moment I use the rectangle tool to creat the time blocks and the Type Text tool to put the market close data in the blocks.

I click on Yahoo link on the chart to get the market close data the example is the DAX

If I could shorten the Time Range Highlight-Trtansparencie rather than have them fill up the entire chart for the range I have selected, I think that would work. The other thing I am working on is Range blocks for the overnight session but for now I can do that by hand If you scroll to the left on the chart you can see some samples. Overnignt Range blocks. This came about after reading a article by Brett Steenbarger on Reconizing the Stock Market's Overnight Range.

On the Market Turn Times and overnight session I only use the Time Range Highlight-Trtansparencie It works great but there is a black screen from the current candle to the next time period I can live with that. Thanks again Sierra Support.
