I like to see what the overnight action did to my indicators. On the
morning of the new day, I edit a separate file of end-of-day data, by
putting in the night data as the new day's data. I have also found that
TS won't chart the bar that represents the night data (probably because
the session isn't over yet?). *But it appears that the text
information, for example the close, include the new bar.* The
indicators have changed from the previous day's value so I assume they
include the new bar as well. While I'd rather see the bar on the graph,
having the values is currently serving my purpose.
