Is it possible to have the Extended Hours Trading displayed in 5.5, as it can be in 4.5?

Quoting the WL5 Wiki FAQ on Can I have access to premarket or aftermarket data in strategy?:

No. Fidelity does not supply pre/post data to Wealth-Lab. You may use ActiveTrader Pro to view it or, as a workaround, try to get this data with a page scrape from external web site like Yahoo in your strategy using C#.

Wealth-Lab has no problem displaying afterhours data or a 24 hrs session, so of course, this question only applies to Fidelity data.

When our IQFeed, QuoteTracker and eSignal providers will be released, users will have access to the extended hours data, will be able to filter or display it, and even have something that V3/4 lacks -- a market hours filter for static (intraday historical) data.

Thanks Eugene. Since WLP4.5, using "Fidelity Streaming" and with the pull-down menu for "Number of Bars to Load" window, which has an option to either display or not "Filter Data Outside Market Hours," I just thought it was possible, but hidden in the "Scale" menu of WLP5.5.

Thanks again - do hope Extended Hours are incorporated soon because many of the Indicators reflect a more accurate statistic/prediction at initiation of normal trading hours.

Fidelity customers should call Fidelity with your trading requirements. We have no vehicle available to us, MS123, a third party, to relay and track requirements on your behalf to Fidelity.

Extended hours for Fidelity data is not even on the radar, afaik.
