Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. You may go to Tools > Instruments and double click an instrument to determine its set Trading Hours template ( for SPY, US Equities RTH is set). Next, go to Tools > Trading Hours to select and edit the set template, or create a custom if needed.

See below for more on working with trading hours templates.

I set trading hours of SPY to be US Equities RTH is set, but its 1 minute chart stops at 4pm, which is market close time. How to see its after hour quote?

• Right click in your chart and select Data Series.

The hours of each template may be reviewed via Tools > Trading Hours.
