Hello SC,
While working with the SYMBOL SETTINGS I noticed: NEW DAILY BAR START TIME is set to 18:00:30
How big of a deal is it? I already changed few of my instruments to 18:00:00
Should I revert them back?
Please advice.

Not sure why we set it that way.

May I know the difference between Global Symbol Settings: New Daily Bar at Start Time and Global Symbol Settings: Start New Daily Bar at Session Start and how is the precedence determined?

Right now, I'm using Charting Settings > Symbol > Session Times so the global settings were not affecting me fortunately. In future, I would like to rely on the global settings.

Those settings were not properly documented. We have updated the documentation here:
