Stupid question time _-what time does a minute bar cover?

[ct]

Does a minute bar for minute 34 contain everything from from 34:00 to 34:59 or does it cover 33:00 to 33:59?

I think it is the first one but not sure so thought i would ask the experts.

I should know this but am having a senior moment.

Cheers

Hello ct,

Thank you for your post.

NinjaTrader stamps a bar with the closing time of the bar. For example, a minute bar with a time of 9:31:00 AM has data from 9:30:00 AM through 9:30:59 AM. Using end of bar time stamps is required in order to be able to plot multiple series of differing time frames within a single chart all accurately synchronized to time.

For more information on how NinjaTrader builds chart bars please have a look at the following resource:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
