Simplest way is to just set the end date of the rectangle to the next trading day. In other words if you want to draw a rectangle on the opening swing the Start DateTime would be today at 9:30 am and the End DateTime would be anything after 4:30 pm even though the chart is only showing 9:45 am.

can you do this so it automatically draws it for 1 day or do you have to manually make this change every time?

Maybe this is useful (for NT), see the " PriceActionToolbar".

When you save it with setting 'extend right' as default template it will automatically draw it extended. You can try it for free.
