MPD will allow you to mix sessions so you can access the full session (31) data and then SESST can take that data and compute the high and low of the overnight period. So add MPD to the chart, with these settings:
A configuration variable (File: Preferences: ConfiguratIon) titled RangeBarAltMethod controls how range bars are formed. By default, RangeBarAltMethod is False and as such, range bars will continue to form until price breaks out of the specified range.

This video provides some tips on switching between feeds, and will be especially valuable for futures traders (for whom the symbols are different between feeds).
This video demonstrates how to add, edit, delete, and manipulate technical indicators in Investor/RT. This video is especially valuable for new users but experienced users may also pick up a few new tools and shortcuts in this short video.
This video covers techniques to manage your data mostly focusing on intra-day data and tick data. This is an important concept in Investor/RT. If you keep your historical data to a minimum, the program will run much more efficiently.
