Bar closing time in databox

[PatientTrader]

Support,

If I want to plot daily charts using intraday datafeed like zenfire, for ES. Do I need to use session as 9:30 am to 4:15 pm or 9:31 am to 4:16 pm

Also in general, is ninja's timestamp on a bar the opening time or closing time of the bar? Say like on a 1 min ES chart, if a 1 min bar opens at 9:30 am, does it show in the databox,as 9:30 am bar or 9:31 am bar.

Thanks
PatientTrader

Hello PatientTrader,

You will need to use 9:30 AM to 4:15 PM as the session begin and end times in your chart.

Please see the following link for information how NinjaTrader build its bars.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply. I plotted a 1 min ES chart with session times 9:30 am to 4:15 pm. But it is missing the last bar in the day.

Shouldn't the session be set as 9:31 am to 4:16 pm , to capture the entire day session.

Also a general question, stock market closes at 4:00 pm EST right and futures 15 minutes later. So, the close of the US stock market is it 3:59:59 pm or is it 4:00:59 pm?

Thanks

Hello,

Setting the times as Jason showed should include the last bar of the day...

Try syncing yoru PC clock.

The close of the U.S. stock market is 4:00 PM EST.
