Set Default TradingHours Programatically

[wuileng]

Hi,

In Strategy Analyzer, under "Time frame" there is a setting called "Trading hours" which is typically set to "<Use instrument settings>" by default. I would like to have certain strategies default to "US Equities RTH". Is there a way to programatically change this default value within the strategy NinjaScript code? Defaults for other values such as Slippage, OrderFillResolution and IncludeCommission can be changed quite easily, but I'm not sure how to refer to the correct TradingHours type.

Hello wuileng,

Thanks for your post.

There are no means to change the trading hours of an existing data series. An existing data series would be a chart or the data series you specify in the strategy analyzer. The strategy adopts the trading hours of the data series, not the other way around.
If you are Adding a data series in your script, there are cases where you can specify the trading hours to use for that data series, please see AddDataSeries for further details: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dataseries.htm

You can use Time filters within your code to provide RTH boundaries. :Please see example here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...to_limit_t.htm
