How do I get the Bar Number Indicator to start over (START COUNT AT #1) at the the beginning of the RTH session and at the beginning of the ETH session? Currently the number count starts at #1 at the beginning of the ETH seesion and continue throughout the RTH session. I have my session times as follows: RTH - 09:30 - 16:00 ETH - 18:00-0929:59

That study does not have an option to reset the count at the beginning of each session. Just the reset at the start of the trading day, which is the start of the Evening Session. The fastest way to get what you want would be to modify the code for that study. Refer to the following: How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code We have noted this as a Feature Request, but we can not say when we would get to any particular request.

You can do this easily with the Spreadsheet Formula study, with a formula like this in its Formula field: =IF(OR(BARTIME=TIME(9,30,0),BARTIME=TIME(18,00,0)),1,ID1.SG1[-1]+1) where this Spreadsheet Formula study is ID1. Set the Chart Region to 1. Set the Draw Style to Value on High.

Sawtooth, thanks very much for that. With your formula as a guide, I figured out a way to make it only plot every other bar (odd bars) to reduce the clutter a bit. =IF(OR(BARTIME=TIME(8,30,0),BARTIME=TIME(17,00,0)),1,IF(MOD(ID19.SG1[-1]+1,2)=0,0,ID19.SG1[-2]+2)) and set Draw Zero Values to No. I draw them at the bottom of the bar instead of the top, just personal preference.

Thanks for the update! I did not see that in the What Is New section. Do you post detailed release notes for each version or only the big items in What Is New?

Do you post detailed release notes for each version or only the big items in What Is New? We have gone to only posting the big changes in the "What is New" section. So it is not updated that often anymore. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
