Id half day trading

[Diego Aburto]

Hello,

Is there a way to identify through C# a half day trading BEFOREHAND (i.e 11/27/2015 - see attached)

Thanks,

Hello Diego Aburto,

While I would not be able to work out the math for you, I can say it would be possible.

To find the start and end times of a session use Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd(). This will give you the start and end time of the session. Divide the hours for this by 2. Add this number of hours to the start time using DateTimeObject.Add().

The Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd formula shows 11/27/2015 as a full day trading (see below). According to NYSE the market closed at 1PM that day.

Thoughts?

Results from Bars.Session.GetNextBeginEnd formula:

Hello Diego Aburto,

What instrument is on your chart?

What session template is selected for the chart?


From the link you have provided on the NYSE website:
Core Trading Session: 9:30 A.M. TO 4:00 P.M. ET

Where are you seeing 1PM?


Also, if this is a holiday, NinjaTrader 7 is not able to account for holidays and will use the regular session template which does not have holidays added.

NinjaTrader 8 does account for holidays.
