Display all of the trading times of all of the symbols

Toggles .ALLTIMES

Alltimes is useful when you are charting formulas that contain instruments with different trading hours.  Alltimes affects the time scale of a chart.

Trading hours are determined by identifying those hours when all instruments in a formula are trading.  This creates a time scale that is an "intersection" of trading hours, or a period when the trading hours of the instruments in the formula overlap.

If checked, trading hours are determined by combining the trading hours of all the instruments in a formula. A formula line will only display where all instruments show data.  To fill in the gaps created by setting this property to on, check the 'Span gaps with a Last Price Used' toggle.
