Marking session time on chart

[plemal]

Is there a way to automatically bracket the 9:30-11:30 session time on the chart with lets say a highlighted yellow background? I can't find a setting for that in chart "properties". Thanks for any help!

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, this can be accomplished using the Strategy Wizard and set the Strategy action to "Set background color" as referenced in the attached screen shot. Then once the strategy is completed you will need to apply this strategy to your chart window.

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over the Strategy Wizard.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Christopher:

I tried it again and it looks like I am doing it correctly but the background color during that time period is still not changing:

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

Once you have applied your strategy to your chart please go to the Strategies tab and enable the stratey on the right hand side.

Please let me know if the issue persists after this procedure.
