Set time for displaying closing price for intra-day charts

Dear Amibroker experts,

I have 1-hour intra-day chart displaying Nasdaq100 futures. When I zoom in to daily time frame, the closing price for each bar is displayed at time 00:00:00. How can I display the closing price for each bar at time 16:00:00 in the daily time frame?

It does NOT show closing price of 00:00:00 in daily TF. In daily TF it shows last close price of day.

It only shows start time of interval since you have set it in preferences.

Now if you want to show 16:00:00 in daily TF instead of 00:00:00 then you may do like so

if ( Interval() == inDaily )
   dt_16 = DateTimeConvert(2, DateNum(), 160000);
else
   dt_16 = DateTime();
   
_N( Title = StrFormat( "{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} - %s Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%), Vol %g {{VALUES}}", DateTimeToStr(SelectedValue(dt_16)), O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ), V ) );

Or if in explorer

if ( Interval() == inDaily )
   dt_16 = DateTimeConvert(2, DateNum(), 160000);
else
   dt_16 = DateTime();
   
SetOption( "NoDefaultColumns", True );

Filter = 1;

AddTextColumn( Name(), "Ticker", 1 );
AddColumn( dt_16, "Date/Time", formatDateTime );

Alternatively you may remove time information of intra-day data completely if in daily TF.

if ( Interval() == inDaily )
   dt = DateTimeConvert(2, DateNum());
else
   dt = DateTime();
   
SetOption( "NoDefaultColumns", True );

Filter = 1;

AddTextColumn( Name(), "Ticker", 1 );
AddColumn( dt, "Date/Time", formatDateTime );

Setting to "End time of interval" will remove time information of intra-day data in daily TF too (e.g. in explorer).
