Charts not showing extended hours highlight
Hello,
I have set PTMC to display extended session in an obnoxious purple color yet this does not appear to be visible on the chart.
My goal is to have a clear visual queue of the activity that has occurred within extended hours. I expect this setting to change the background color of the chart within the extended hours time frame.
Basically the background of the chart after 4PM should be purple.
Hello, andrew!
Could you then allow a user to configure it manually?
Yes, I think it's a good idea, and we decided to add this functionality. You'll be able to customize sessions for the instruments, in case when broker doesn't provide session information.
We'll let you know as soon as we have new information about data of this fix.
Regards, PTMC Support.
This looks great!
The only issue i can think of is how the display would work for securities markets that do not have pre or post market trading such as the OTCBB.
In this case, if i were to have this set for all securities on all markets, what would the daily chart for an OTCBB stock look like that doesn't trade pre market? Would the background be colored as if it DID have pre / post market trading? Or would the chart just go from 4.00PM | 9.30AM with nothing inbetween?
Or would it even matter because if there are no trades within this time frame, in theory there should be no alternate background color to show at all for these times as there is no data to display.
Hello Andrew, my name is Artem. I am analyst at PTMC. Soon I think we will implement the possibility to customize time sessions from terminal. Could you please look on screenshot below.
Does such solution solve your problem?
