How to Shade Pre/Post-Market Session on Charts

Pre-market (4-9 a.m.) and post-market (4-8 p.m.) data is available with Real-Time Stock Data in any service level of TC2000 (In order to view pre- and post-market data you will need to be subscribed to real-time US stock data). The chart background can be shaded for these extended hours to differentiate it from the normal market hours (9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.) Below are the steps for this shading. (Note: Extended hours data only appears on intraday charts--time frames less than daily.)

2. Select Edit Chart Properties

3. Choose the Pre/Post Data tab

4. Set shading color/opacity

Place a check mark in the tick box to turn shading on

Click on color selector to choose color for the shading which will highlight pre/post data

Set the opacity value to lighten/darken the shading

You can also change the pre/post market price plot in this menu.
