Question

I have an overnight Market Profile chart and it's labeling my current profile with yesterday's date.  How can I correct this?
   

Answer

The profiles in Market Profile charts are labelled with the date on which they began (since the label is placed to the left of the profile).  Therefore, on an overnight profile, each session begins on one day and then proceeds into the next day.  So, for instance, the profile representing the session from 3/17/09 4:30pm to 3/18/09 4:15pm will be timestamped 3/17 and not 3/18, even though the day session for that profile is contained in 3/18.
