Bars.FirstBarOfSession

[MXASJ]

Hi Ninja Team,

Perhaps a silly question but if using Bars.FirstBarOfSession in a strategy, is that going to look at the first bar since the strategy was started or the first bar of the new Session Templates?

I'm looking at using the sample code from your SamplePnL strategy in NT7and am wondering what the expected behavior would be if I want the PnL to start at zero each day if;

1. I'm using the default 24/7 Template
2. I'm using a template like CBOT Ag RTH

And the strategies themselves run;

a) 24/5
b) 23/5 with a restart of NT daily.

Just trying to get my head around the logic before I go too deep...

Thanks!

EDIT: Perhaps asking when the counter for Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.C umProfit etc starts is a better question... and how/when is it reset. Thanks.

FirstBarOfSession will return true on the first bar of a session based on the historical data set loaded by your strategy. CumProfit is based on all trades in the collection, in your example you are pointing to AllTrades thus this means all historical and real-time trades closed by your strategy.

Simple question

What is the difference between Bars.FirstBarOfSession and Bars.SessionBreak?

SessionBreak is deprecated. Please use FirstBarOfSession.

Hi Josh,

thank you for your answer. I just saw that SessionBreak was still used in the NT CurrentDayOHL indicator.

SessionBreak is deprecated. Please use FirstBarOfSession.
