Dear all,
I can display prior close (Prr Cls) in TWS quote line. When I try to program to retrieve this value in Multicharts and I find that I do not have any way to do so. The closing price of a daily bar does not show the same value.
Appreciate anyone have an idea on this.
Best regards,

Hello ak28228,
Please specify the instrument you are using. Attach a screenshot demonstrating the required value in IB TWS window and the chart with the incorrect value in MultiCharts.

ak28228, in QuoteManager go to Tools tab->Data sources ->IB->Settings.
Change the state of "Regular Trading Hours" option to the opposite one.
If "Regular Trading Hours" option is enabled-only the data for session hours will be downloaded from the server.
If "Regular Trading Hours" option is disabled-additional non-session data will be downloaded.
Reload the chart using Ctrl+R after changing the settings.

Dear Henry,
Your solution works.
But from my result screen capture, it looks like the daily close of the daily bar is not same as the close price of last 5-minute bar of the day. So the daily close of the daily bar is adjusted somewhat by some way under such setting.
Anyway, big thanks Henry.

ak28228, you can enable the option "Build from minutes" in Format->Instrument->Settings tab in order to build the daily bar out of minute data.
