Session Times (HhMmSs)

[heikenashi1]

I'm looking to specify market sessions with a timestamp holidays use this:


<Holiday>
<Date>2015-01-01T00:00:00</Date>
<Description>New Year's Day</Description>
</Holiday>

sessions are oddly formatted:

<Session>
<BeginDay>Friday</BeginDay>
<BeginTime>930</BeginTime>
<EndDay>Friday</EndDay>
<EndTime>1600</EndTime>
<TradingDay>Friday</TradingDay>
</Session>
</Sessions>
<TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone>

please advise

Hello, thanks for writing in. It looks like you are looking within a Trading Hours template file within Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\TradingHours. Do you have a specific question that I can help with?

[heikenashi1]

Yes this file only takes hours and minute 9:30 would be 0930 or 930
however I want 09:30:45 is granularity like this possible?

Hi, the granularity will not go down to the seconds, only down to the minutes. In a strategy, there is a property called ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds where you can specify the exit time in terms of seconds.
