Custom Columns & Session Times

I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out with this:

I have setup a number of custom columns in a quotepage to track ES/NQ regular trading hours (session 2) previous day's high, low, close, VAH, VAL. These values are assigned to V#'s using the SESST and Profile indicators with a session 2 override. All of my charts are 24-hour (session 31). I then have horizontal lines set by the V#'s placed on my chart and updated automatically.

The problem I have is that the horizontal lines, apparently because they are based on session 2/RTH data, do not automatically update until the next session 2 begins. In other words, Monday's RTH/session 2 data will not update on my charts until 9:30 EST Tuesday when Tuesday's RTH/session 2 opens. But I'd much prefer the values update at the close of the session 2 they are based on versus the open of the next session 2.

Maybe there is just another better way to place the prior day's session 2 high, low, close, VAH and VAL on a 24-hour chart?

Thanks for any insight anyone can offer.

Re: Custom Columns & Session Times

What you could do is setup a custom indicator with syntax:

SESST_HI_CURR * (TIME < 0930 OR TIME > 1615) + SESST_HI_PREV * (TIME >= 0930 AND TIME <= 1615)

setup SESST_HI_CURR with the current day values (turn off Multi-Session Stats), and SESST_HI_PREV with the "Value 1 Session Back" setting. Does that make sense? You also may have to adjust your times above depending on your time zone. The above syntax was constructed for Eastern timezone.
