In that area, I can change existing Sessions and even create a new one. However, I dont see a Session labeled "Default" also I dont find where i can select a given Session as "Default"

"Default" refers to a specific session template used by a particular symbol.


Go to QuoteManager,

highlight the instrument,

right click, select Edit Symbol

look under Sessions tab.

ok here i can select a session i understand.

But when I add a new symbol, somehow a "default" is selected, I see this in multicharts when i click on the instrument on the chart and go to the settings tab. In there is a Chart settings area, where sessions: Default is selected. I dont know what Default is, since its not a labeled Session type, and I dont know how i can determine or change what the Default Session is.

I would like to set the Default, so I dont need to edit the Session value every time I add an instrument to a chart.

The default session is matched to the exchange's trading hours of the instrument.
