trading hours template change via code

[RedDuke]

Hello,

Is there any way to change trading hour template via code in indicator instead of going to data series and changing it there?

Thanks,
redduke

Hello RedDuke,

The linked post would be how you can make an input to select trading hours for a custom purpose but does not change the DataSeries value. At this time there is no way to affect the DataSeries menu options directly from code.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse,

Yep, I realized the same once I implemented it. Is there any unsupported way? It is just a very critical function I need.

Thanks a lot

Hello RedDuke,

Not that I am aware of, you can access the underlying bar information through the BarsArray objects however that does not provide any mechanism to control changing the chart.

In this situation because the property is within the menu and is not just a chart option/button that can be toggled the ways to change that are fairly limited.

We have a feature request for this type of option that I have added your vote to: SFT-4619

Thank you. How many votes so far?

Hello,

Another question, but similar topic. Can chart template be switched via code, rather than right clicking on the chart and picking it from the list of saved templates?

Thank you

Hello RedDuke,

I am unaware of anyway to do that through code, that would be specifically a user interface option. In regard to the feature request unfortunately I cannot see how many votes however I did get your input added to the request.


Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

While technically not changing the Template. You can actually reproduce the desired behaviour by code. By manually configuring the Bars.TradingHours.Sessions.

Using:
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[0]
https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...eak_at_eod.htm

Example: (Indicator) Set chart from what ever template it currently is...
to "Default 24 x 5" Trading Hour Template would look like this:

protected override void OnStateChange() {

if ( State == State.DataLoaded ) { // <- State Important, no earlier.

Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 0 ].TradingDay = System.DayOfWeek.Monday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 0 ].BeginDay = System.DayOfWeek.Monday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 0 ].BeginTime = 0000;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 0 ].EndDay = System.DayOfWeek.Tuesday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 0 ].EndTime = 0000;

Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 1 ].TradingDay = System.DayOfWeek.Tuesday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 1 ].BeginDay = System.DayOfWeek.Tuesday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 1 ].BeginTime = 0000;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 1 ].EndDay = System.DayOfWeek.Wednesday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 1 ].EndTime = 0000;

Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 2 ].TradingDay = System.DayOfWeek.Wednesday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 2 ].BeginDay = System.DayOfWeek.Wednesday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 2 ].BeginTime = 0000;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 2 ].EndDay = System.DayOfWeek.Thursday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 2 ].EndTime = 0000;

Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 3 ].TradingDay = System.DayOfWeek.Thursday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 3 ].BeginDay = System.DayOfWeek.Thursday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 3 ].BeginTime = 0000;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 3 ].EndDay = System.DayOfWeek.Friday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 3 ].EndTime = 0000;

Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 4 ].TradingDay = System.DayOfWeek.Friday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 4 ].BeginDay = System.DayOfWeek.Friday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 4 ].BeginTime = 0000;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 4 ].EndDay = System.DayOfWeek.Saturday;
Bars.TradingHours.Sessions[ 4 ].EndTime = 0000;

}
}
