..........on markets such as the FTSE, where the SB's 'create' their own out-of-hours market based upon futures;
Should I draw them to the day's 'official' open and close, or to the 'in-official-hours' highs and lows, or to points which incorporate the SB's out-of-hours price movements.
I'm confused-help!!!
Thanks in advance!

You shouldn't draw them on SB charts at all! These people make their own prices which have nothing to do with the underlying; also, the FTSE100 charts in general have a story on their own, as the LSE usually gives the wrong data.:eek:
For example, you'll find that most data providers, who in turn buy the data from the LSE, have the prior day's close and today's open at the same level; this is obviously wrong.
I would suggest using the charts from ADVFN, moneyAM or DigitalLook.com for what you want to do; if you trade intraday then you'll have to subscribe to real time data from either ADVFN or moneyAM, or purchase a trading package (eg., MetaStock, Sharescope, etc...) and a real time subscription.
But do not use the SB firms charting package for trading as the data they provide is nothing more than a work of fiction!:devilish:
There is a lot posted on this in this forum anyway; I suggest that you read it before you start trading, or it won't take long before you say good bye to your trading capital.
