This is a 2 step process


Step 1. Create a custom template for the trading session 1700-1700.

Go to your QuoteManager
Under the "Tools" tab
select "Session Templates"
a new window will pop up (Custom Session Templates)
select "Add..."
another new window will pop up (Session Template)

Give this template a Description (eg NY forex)
Click "Add" button at the bottom left corner.
Check your open and close times.
Note: your session will end on 1700 the next day. Check "Session End".


Step 2. When you create your chart, specify to use this custom template.

If you are using a daily chart, select "Build From Minutes" option.

Thanks TJ for the reply. I have indeed done that but there is a daily hi low lines indicator that comes with multicharts
and I am looking to modify it so that it will reflect my custom sessions template. Any ideas?

OK, I have just tested the indicator.

This indicator is not suitable for instruments (or charts) that cross the 24 hr line.
