Hi hcgaloi,

Thank you for the clarification.

These settings are working as I would expect on my end.

Can you elaborate on what is not working correctly on your end?

Hi Kyle,
The session template is working fine. There is no bug there. I was wondering more on the time settings because the bar chart doesn't look when I compare the daily chart of Thinkorswim platform. I just couldn't find out what the opening and closing times are.

THanks

Which dataprovider do you use? For ZenFire of our server the daily charts would use the RTH cash session per default.

Hi Bertrand,
Yes, I'm using zenfire. I have tested all the default session template of NT7, however, none of them would give the same data when I compare with other trading platforms. So, I went ahead and created a customized session templates. I look for trading hours on the ICE website, but didn't find anything concrete.

Thanks,

Hi hcgaloi,

From the resources I have been able to find, your session times are correct.

Note that you can expect some differences between data coming from different feeds.

From our Help Guide:
"Different data feeds produce different charts especially when using tick based intervals vs time based intervals. Market data vendors each employ various methods for tick filtering, throttling and time stamping. As a result, no data stream is 100% identical and thus can cause subtle differences in charts. Since NinjaTrader supports many of the leading brokerage and data feed technologies, its guaranteed that two traders using NinjaTrader on different data feeds will have minor differences when plotting the same market and time interval."

hcgaloi,

To further clarify, when you are using Zen-Fire you are using historical data from NT. NT historical data is provided as a complementary service and the daily bars from there are timestamped with the default session templates for the instrument in question. Whatever settings you use in your session manager would not impact the daily bars you pulled from our servers as they simply aren't built from the time range defined by your session template.

Thank you, Josh, for your clarification on daily chart. I was using 1440min to simulate daily chart. It was a habit from NT6.5, and I didn't know NT7 can get historical daily data from NT's server.
