When creating a custom session on a chart lets say I want a session 5:00am to 12:00pm. If I create this the last bar of the session is time stamped 12:00pm. Since you time stamp to the open of a bar and not the close of the bar, this last bar actually extends past the custom session time specified by what ever the time interval is. So if its a 5 min chart the session really ends at 12:05pm. A 30 minute bar chart will have the last bar end at 12:30pm. So the custom sessions created do not match the time specified. I believe the root of this problem is the time stamp to the open and not the close of the bar. Are there any plans to address this. Or maybe a setting that allows the user to choose to set times to the end of a bar instead of the open. This way a users transition from TradeStation will be easier as TS timestamps the end of the bar.

This issue has been fixed and will be available in the next build: chart will show only bars that fit to the custom session. About open/close timestamps: actually, the current released version has this option already "ShowOpenTimes" in the chart profile.

Is the option ShowOpenTimes available as a class member/variable inside an indicator or strategy? If so how do you refer to it?

No, indicators have no access to chart settings.

Are there any plans to expose the chart settings to indicators and strategies? I have indicators and startegies that are dependant on times of the day. Not knowing if the time is the open or close makes them not reliable.

All EasyLanguage functions use "Close" time.
