Some data feeds provide daily bars as fixed OHLC values with the session settings defined on their end. Wrong symbol sessions might lead to bars being displayed incorrectly.
In that case daily charts should be set to the Default session template on charts in MultiCharts (Format InstrumentSettingsSessions).

If you want to use custom sessions for a daily bar, you need to enable the Build from Minutes option in FormatInstrumentSettings tab. You also need to make sure the Exchange Time Zone for the instruments in QuoteManager is correct (QuoteManager → right click the necessary symbol → Edit SymbolSessions).
