Prob with Daily bars?

[rhobbo1]

I am charting the Australian SPI futures and would like to chart the daily bars only, excluding the night trading session data.

This is what I have already tried...

File>New>Chart

I choose the current Spi contract i.e. 03-08 Daily bars...
click ok and the chart is displayed...

But....
The night session is included in the data.

I double click on the chart to bring up the chart properties...

Check the session begin and end times i.e. session begins 9:50 am, session ends 4:30 pm.

Click apply and.... the night session is still included???

What needs to happen?

I am running version 6.0.1000.7

Thank you!

Session begin/end settings in NT only apply to intraday data.

ok... How can I display only the daily trading session on a chart?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

The daily bars are generally consisted of only regular trading hours.

[rhobbo1]

so why are the daily charts including the night session trading if the... [QUOTE][The daily bars are generally consisted of only regular trading hours./QUOTE]???

How do I get NT to display only the daily trading or is this not currently possible and something that needs to be looked at in the future?

NinjaTrader plots whatever data your data feed provider is giving you. If your data feed is putting out that type of daily bar then that is what you will see.

Here is the list of data providers we support: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...HistoricalData

Josh, if I have a daily chart opened to a futures product, should the daily chart be drawing the bar for today in realtime? Or will it wait until the day is over before drawing the daily bar?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

NT will try to pull any daily bar available at your provider and will amend this bar by incoming realtime data.

Ok, so I have data from the yesterday globex open, but it does not seem to be amending today's data on it. I am currently using 6.5.10 and zen-fire.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Zen does not provide daily data, meaning today's bar only is build of streaming realtime data coming in.

[mazachan]

Unfortunately today's data is not coming in. However, I do have data on the ES 03-08 from september of 07.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

ZenFire does not provide historical daily data. Sorry, I don't know where you got the daily historical data from.
