The chart recalculates its bars when the template changes.

What the default shows

New charts start with the template US Extended Trading Hours for the CME exchange, in New York time. In that template each trading day runs from 6:00 PM to 5:00 PM the next day, from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon. The hour from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM and the weekend are left out.

Show every bar

Turn the Session Template switch off. The chart then shows all the bars it receives, whatever the time of day.

Things to know

  • The setting applies to the chart you opened it from.
  • If the chart has no bars at a time you expect, check whether that time falls outside the template.
