Hello Akram 1105 ,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You can access the Trading Hours window from within the NinjaTrader Control Center window by left mouse clicking on the menu Tools, and then selecting the menu item Trading Hours
The Trading Hours window is used to create and configure Trading Hour Templates. Trading Hour Templates are set up to contain the session start and end times of a specific market or instrument. You can find more information about this tool below:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/index.html?using_the_trading_hours_window.htm#UnderstandingTradingHourTemplates

You would need to apply one of these trading hours to a dialogue window, like a chart, in order for them to be applied. Otherwise NinjaTrader will just use the default settings for that window or instrument.

Trading Hour Templates can be applied in the following NinjaTrader dialogue windows under the property "Trading Hours":


•Chart panel via the Data Series window (right click on chart>Data Series>Time Frame>Trading Hours)

•Market Analyzer via customizing columns

•Strategy Analyzer window when configuring backtesting

•Strategies tab of the Control Center when starting a strategy

You can see the default trading hours on the exchange's website, within the contract specifications page.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
