Bars.FirstBarOfSession

[trtrav]

I guess I need a better understanding of what a "session" is.
I placed the following code in OnBarUpdate()

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession && FirstTickOfBar)
{
Print ("Time is:" + String.Format("{0:d/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss}", Time[0]) + " now is:" + DateTime.Now.ToString());
}

I ran against 10 days of data on the Market Replay. I have a session template that I created. Let's say mon-fri 6:30 am to 11:00 am.
The outcome I was expecting or at least wanting was for every day at 6:30 am for the print statement above to execute.
Am I mis-understanding this? Or, how do I correct connect my strategy code to the session template I want to use?

A "session" is defined as any session definitions you have in your Session Template.

Your code will print once at the very first event per session.

So a "session" would be Monday 6:30am to 11am and the next session would be Tuesday 6:30am to 11am. This means my strategy is not using the correct session template. How do I attach the strategy to the session template?
Thanks

You can choose the session template a strategy runs on by making the session template of the instrument on the chart to the session template you want.

Ok, on the strategy tab I found where I can edit the strategy and choose the session template. Is there a way I can do this programmatically in the intialize()?

trtrav,

You cannot programmatically set a Session Template. If you have a Session Template you always want to use with a particular instrument you can set the desired Session Template as the default one in the Instrument Manager for that instrument though.
