Study: High/Low for Time Period

Following guidelines at
High/Low for Time Period
I want "to draw the overnight session High and Low on the Day session", as explicitly stated there as a use case.

Chart Settings >> Session Times >>
Session Start Time: 08:30:00
Session End Time: 15:14:59
Use Evening Session: Yes
Evening Start Time: 17:00:00
Evening End Time: 15:59:59
Time Zone: Chicago CST/CDT

Study Settings: High/Low for Time Period >>
Start Time: 15:15:00
End Time: 08:29:59
Subgraphs >>
Draw Style: Line Extend to Edge

With this setup, before 08:30:00, the high/low lines do extend to the right window edge.
Starting 08:30h the lines are cut at the 08:30:00 time line and when the evening/morning session scrolls out of the window, the value labels at the Right Side Values Scale disappear.

Expected behavior is that the lines would remain visible after 08:30:00, as suggested in the use case in the documentation.

I changed the study to 'High/Low for Time Period - Extended'

The High is displayed correctly, but the Low is set to zero?!?!?!

We do not know why the Low would be showing as zero. Please get us that chart so we can take a look. Follow these instructions to get us the chart:

I experimented with the settings.

The problem disappeared after I changed the 'Number of days to calculate' to 0, which SC converted to the default (10000). After that the Low line was correct. It stayed correct when I changed this setting back to 2.

Maybe there is a problem in the initialization of this study when 'Number of days to calculate' is set to something non-default when adding the study and before it is applied/visible on the chart? Just a wild guess.

Anyway, problem disappeared here.

That should not be occurring, but as long as you are fine now, then that is good.

Should you see something like this again, let us know.

Had the same problem again today (Monday) after loading the chartbook. The Low was zero, as shown in post #3 above.
Setting the 'Number Of Days To Calculate' to zero, which SC changes to 10000, and then back to 1 solves the problem.

Maybe this has something to do with the weekend, because I have not observed this during the last weekdays.
I restart SC and reload the chartbook every day.

When you have this occur, please get us the chart where this is occurring by following these instructions:
Support Board Posting Information: Providing Chartbook with Only a Single Chart

If the problem goes away when you duplicate the chart to create a new chartbook, then instead get the chartbook that has the chart in it that shows the problem. In this case, follow these instructions:
