This topic details the settings used to built a Split session TPO charts with custom colored blocks for the day session and an unique color for the overnight session

Here are my own favorite split session settings, with custom colored blocks for the TPO day session hours and a single color for the overnight session (while hiding the bracket opening TPO block marker in both sessions)

Reminder, in the traditional TPO chart, we can only manage 2 sessions, i do recommend to use as "day session" the extended day session, ie from 9.30 to 5 pm ET '(this will alow you to access all the color settings box below the timeline)

Make sure you adjust the session accordingly (after importing this chart) in your own chart settings (if necessary, create this extended day session with the File > Preference > session menu)

Regarding the color settings for the day session, here are the settings of this chart

• white = 9.30-10 : (ie this the IB 30 min range)
• yellow =10-10.30 : combined with white, this provide an an easy way to spot the IB range without any additional marker =>> please note that i use a green vertical line for the 1 min Opening range
• corange = 10.30-12.00 (rest of the morning session)
• pink = lunch time
• eighter red = 1400-1530
• darker red = last 30 min of cash session
• turquoise = 16 to 17.00, ie all post cash session action until the globex break (as i am using an "extended" day session from 9.30 to 17.00 to be able to split the profile into 2 sessions)

All these colors can be modified at will at the bottom of the chart (just below the time scale)

As discussed in the prvious post, to get a unique "overnight session" color, this chart requires modifying the following configuration variables as follows

MPCustomOvernightColor=True;

MPOvernightColor=95,95,95

Finally, i set PaintMPOpen to False (to skip the display of the O marking the opening TPO for each bracket)

Regarding the other settings POC/VA, both Value Areas Range are displayed as vertical thick line (TPO=pink range and Volume Profile = light blue) with both POC marked as ">" and the midpoint (small o)

Here is the corresponding chart definition

Thanks for sharing the definition love the layout. When I added it theres random blue dots everywhere I checked all the color settings not sure where its coming from?

Hi,

this is the corresponding marker to highlight the opening Letter/price level of each bracket

You need to set the PaintMPOpen configuration variable to false to deactivate the darker blue blocks
