Unable to Specify Session I created

Hello,

I am trying to create a session for the 6E euro futures that includes everything that is NOT pit traded hours, 8:20-15:00 EST.

In "preferences > sessions" I created a new session beginning at 15:01 and ending at 8:19 (no post time). When I have a chart of the Euro and I hit "comma" to adjust the session....that session is NOT AN OPTION? Though when I go to file, preferences, session....there it is.

I then changed the hours of one of the available sessions to the ON hours I was looking for....and when I did, that session was no longer visible either.

I'm kinda baffled here. Is there something I need to set up instrument wise?

Any help appreciated.

Subsession Must Be in Full Session

John,

The session you've created must lie within the Full Session assigned to the symbol.  It sounds like you probably need to adjust the full session times.

Watch this video on sessions and charting hours if you haven't already: https://www.linnsoft.com/videos/chart-hours-overview-day-and-full-sessio...

The Full Session should encompass all possible trading time for the symbol  The Day Session is some subset of this (can be the same).  Any session that has times within the full session times should be listed as potential sessions you can change the chart to.  With this in mind, let us know if you continue to have problems.
