We’ve expanded TPO charts functionality to give you deeper control over how you view and analyze market activity. You can now divide the trading day into multiple segments — pre-market, regular market, post-market, or fully custom sessions.

Customize and compare sessions

For traders who rely on precise session analysis — such as those following futures, forex, or global equity markets — the new flexibility can make a real difference. You can now easily compare activity between time zones or isolate specific trading periods to study how volume and price develop over time.

For example, futures traders can now separate night and day sessions in just two clicks. Simply open chart settings, find the Symbol tab, and go to the Session menu. From here, you can choose from presets like All and Each (pre-market, market, post-market).

If none of these options suit your analysis approach, you can select Custom to define up to five custom intervals per day.

And don’t worry: all overlapping and out-of-range times are handled automatically, so your sessions stay clean and accurate.

Note: you can select and customize sessions only with the Periods set to 1 day.

Split and merge profiles

Alongside session-based segmentation, you can now manually split or merge profiles to refine your view even further. Just right-click on a TPO profile (or a specific letter within it) and choose one of the new actions:

• Split profile at this letter — Isolates a profile starting from the selected point, letting you analyze volume and activity from that exact moment
• Merge with previous profile — Combines adjacent profiles for a broader view of price development across sessions
• Reset all merges and splits — Restores your profiles to their original state in one click

These options are especially useful for studying intra-session structure, identifying trend shifts, and comparing market activity between different time segments.

This enhancement gives traders more control and insight into session-specific market behavior, helping them identify patterns across multiple periods in a single chart. We hope your analytical kit will become even more powerful, allowing you to analyze global markets on a whole new level.
