Open Pit Hours

[dynoweb]

From within an indicator script, how can I determine what the current Bars regular trading hours are?

I could hard code it, but if the instrument changes, it might now apply. My current chart is using the ETH.

startTime = TradingHours.Get("CME US Index Futures RTH").Sessions[0].BeginTime;

There is not a field for this in the instrument database. It would be nice to add, and the answer is sort of obvious for ES and the like, but for some instruments, there isn't an obvious answer what it should be set to. I've had the same issue here, and I ended up just making a list for now of what I consider the RTH to be for each one, since there isn't a field for this that I could query in Instrument.MasterInstrument.

NinjaTrader support, this would be a good field to add to the instrument setup. Even if it defaulted to blank and we could fill it in if we wanted to though it would be good to fill in the most common ones where there is no question what RTH means.

Thanks Bruce, I was afraid of that. I'll second the new feature.

QuantKey_Bruce is correct in stating that there is no field for this in the instrument database at this moment.
