Fastest way to learn day's OPEN price

[Lester Macena]

Hi,

What is the fastest way to find out today's open price? Say one wait for midnight, where to look for the open price?

Thanks,

Hello Lester Macena,
Thanks for your post.

The Market Analyzer would be a quick way to check. You can open the Market Analyzer from your Control Center>>New>>Market Analyzer

You would want to add an Open price Column to the Market Analyzer by right-clicking>>Columns...>>select "Opening"

Dear,

Have a question. Why the values of Daily Open are different in the market watch and on hourly chart? Which one is the correct one?

Thanks,

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

Lester, I would expect for these values to be the same.

Have you reloaded all historical data in your chart by right-clicking>>Reload All Historical Data ?

What session template are you using? The opening value was the same when I used the CME US Index Futures ETH on the ES 12-18

What data provider are you connected to?

Hi Josh,

Several hours later it all lined up. Was it a Sunday bar, that fitted under the previous week?

Regards,

Lester.

Lester, I am not sure since I would not have expected to see differences to begin with. Any differences are likely attributed to a specific connection, set of historical data, or the session template.
