Splitting Volume Profile - Overnight & RTH

[percy3687]

I am trying to split the Volume profile between Overnight session and RTH. I did follow some instructions on the forum and created separate Trading Hours for Overnight and RTH. However i am confused if start of RTH should be exactly same as end of Overnight or the start should be a minute greater.

Question 1 - Should it be option A below or option B?

Option A
Overnight - 1800 EST to 930 EST
RTH - 0931 EST to 1615 EST

Or it should be

Option B
Overnight - 1800 EST to 0930 EST
RTH - 0930 EST to 1615 EST

Question 2 - Which option is accurate for using tick based renko charts vs. regular 1 minute charts.

Question 3 - How do i move the profile behind candles? (as you can see in the attachment) It randomly at times shows over bars and sometimes it shows behind the bars. How can i avoid or is there any setting?


My observations so far :

In some old forums the advise is to keep start and end time same but the results look different in the screen below. Bit confused as to what is the right way to do this. And given the 1st RTH min may have significant volume, want to ensure i do this right.
All that said, profile summary is showing accurate volume.

Hello percy3687,

Thank you for your note.

We would recommend option A as this would be the normal start time for the session and should be the most accurate.

The Z-Order is what determines the visibility of multiple items placed on the chart. You can change the Z order of a chart object to move it in front of or behind other objects such as the data series by using Shift + Scroll with the item selected. I would recommend trying this to ensure it is displayed behind the candles.
