RTH misses the 1st candle

[qwertyjjj]

I set MES to US RTH hours and the chart to a 30min candle chart.
However, the chart starts at 10am every day.
How can I get it to include the first candle from 0930 which is RTH?

Hello qwertyjjj,

Thank you for your post.

In NinjaTrader, bars are time stamped with closing time of the bar. Thus, since you are using a 30 minute chart, the bar that is time stamped as 10:00 AM contains all of the data from 9:30 AM to 9:59:59 AM.

Please let me know if I may assist you further.

This doesn;t seem correct since I need the 0930 bar to show up with all of its data and in fact it needs to be there in real time
RTH is 0930-1600.
If I set the chart to RTH, then the 0930 bar should be present. It is not

Hello qwertyjjj,

Thank you for your reply.

The 9:30 bar is showing, but is time stamped with the end time of the bar. All information from 9:30 to 9:59:59 is contained within the bar that is time stamped with 10 AM. I'm not speculating about this topic, it is simply how bars are time stamped in NinjaTrader. The link below will take you to another forum post where this exact topic is being discussed;

Hi. How can I change it to the open of the bar?

Hello qwertjjj,

Thank you for your reply.

NinjaTrader does this by design and it is not possible to change. Using end of bar time stamps is required in order to be able to plot multiple series of differing time frames within a single chart all accurately synchronized to time.
