so you cant miix USS and UK stocks and time zones

That is correct, you cannot mix different time zones as NinjaTrader uses only the PC time zone.

The PC's time zone would need to be changed. NinjaTrader uses the local PC time.

[RobinT]

you have tochange the whole pc?

cant you just make the chart est?

Hello RobinT,

Is the PC set to EST time?
Please use the steps below to change/check your Time Zone and sync the PC clock:

• Close NinjaTrader.
• Open the Windows Control Panel
• Select Date and Time
• Press 'Change time zone...'.
• Set the time zone and press 'OK'.
• Click on Internet Time tab.
• Set the server to time.nist.gov and then click Update.
• Ensure to check for a message under the Update button that says it was successful.
• If it did not properly sync, even after a few tries, try manually setting your PC clock and then syncing.

Your PC clock should now be updated.

yes, thats the problem. how do i get thechart in est?

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

One solution is to always have the chart in EST. How do do that? I use the US Equities RTH session.

You would need to set your PC time to EST. NinjaTrader uses your local PC time zone and region.

TimeZone

I want to get the NYSE start time in local time.

I use

Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd(BarsArray[0], 0, out sessionBegin, out sessionEnd);

in the OnStartUp()

but the time varies depending on the UK summer time for the first bar on the chart.

How do I get this information for today.

I am not following what you mean here. The time on the chart will reflect your local time.

[RobinT]

the problem is that from 3/12//16 for two weeks the time difference is 6 hours instead of the normal 5 hrs.

[RobinT]

I put it in firstbarof session ok.

but I need it for currentbar = 1 as I am trying to do some calculations on the data before the day starts.

Hello RobinT,
Thanks for writing in.
You cannot send just a custom session. You would need to send your entire database file which includes the following and would replace these items for the other user.
ATM Strategy templates, Session templates, Instrument Lists / Custom Instruments, historical trade execution data, and various other NinjaTrader things
The database file is named ninjatrader.sdf and is located under Documents\NinjaTrader 7\db
There is not an option to exclude holidays in NinjaTrader 7. This feature has been added to NinjaTrader 8.

[RobinT]

also, how do you set a chart not to display holidays. I have a big space from yesterday.

[RobinT]

I use a special session template (which is NYSE hours plus 1 minute). How do I send that template and where I can I find it?
