finding market times

[ballboy11]

Is there a way to find market open time and close time for the US market.

Example if I am in PST I want to market Open Market Time in EST so my indicator can adjust the time stamp to PST

Hello ballboy11,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You can use GetNextBeginEnd() to get the begin and end of a session in the PC's local time.

All timestamps in NinjaTrader 7 are in relation to the PC's local time.

There is no timezone variable set in NinjaTrader 7 that will allow a user to have NinjaTrader 7 translate time stamps to another time zone. Translating the locally reported time to another time zone will need to be done on your own using the DateTime struct documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...v=vs.110).aspx

Please let me know if I can be of further help.

I just leave my laptop in eastern standard time (new York time) I don't live in the USA. I'm not smart enough to code next begin end. My session templates which isolate ETH and RTH are in eastern standard time.

Timestamps

I found the Previous Days time stamp. I can not find the open of the session though.
Are all future markets NY session the same amount of hours?

CL 8 hours
NQ 8 hours
etc

If so I will subtract the hours if not how do I find the DayOpen?

Hello ballboy11,

Were you looking for direction for NinjaTrader 7 or NinjaTrader 8?

The property you have listed is a NinjaTrader 8 property. Within NinjaTrader 8 you may wish to use ActualSessionBegin or GetTradingDayBeginLocal() from a SessionIterator.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
