When I try and create a session template or custom session starting
Sunday 18:30 - Monday 06:00
Monday 09:30 - Monday 13:15
QuoteManager will not let me do it as it keeps changing the first line when I enter the second line.
Unable to create session template

OK I'm getting somewhere. It appears that it is just an auto sort issue, so it always wants to move Sunday down to the bottom. See attached the only problem I still have is that I get error "Set Session End" when I uncheck this on the Sunday night session. This should be possible as it is done in some of the included templates "CME: Equity Index Futures [E-mini] (Combined)" for example.

Dear Geoff,
Please compare the screenshot with a pre-build session with the session settings where you get an error. You will see that they are different. The principle is as follows: the very last session end must be checked. The layout must be changed accordingly.
If you would like to get further details please let me know.

How do I do that and create a session starting on Sunday night followed by a Monday day session?
...For now, I would suggest taking this sorting peculiarity into consideration and adjusting the template accordingly.
Best regards.
Also the current included templates do not reflect that CBOT Agricultural contracts trade side by side with the pit contract (this changed about 18 months ago). Please could you update the templates to reflect this in the next version.

Agreed Nick. We need the ability to select sessions for the chart rather than just on the symbol in QuoteManager. As it is at the moment if you select the correct hours on a future that has an overnight session it is impossible to display a regular hours chart or alternatively you can set the symbol to regular session hours but then a daily chart will not update during the overnight session.

sessions
I am pretty much interested in the same... I need to be able to display as many as I want custom created sessions per symbol. It seems that this feature hasnt been added yet in 3.1
For example - I want chart on EURUSD with the regular 24hr session, and I want another EURUSD chart with cutom created session.... It seems that it is impossible as I can only change the EURUSD session in quote manager, so it will be either the 24hrs session OR my custom created session. Not possible to use both in two different charts.
Please advice.

just set the template per your custom session.
the 24hr is automatically included... you can set it at the chart level.

When you plot a symbol, in the Format Symbol window you can choose b/w the 24 hour and the regular sessions. The regular session settings are taken from QuoteManager. Those can be either the default settings or custom sessions that you have created.
So you can totally plot the same symbol with two different session settings: the 24 hour and regular (whatever those are).
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best regards.
