MES stops data feed at 09:00 New York time.

[Brian.T]

Earlier this week I changed the hours that NT uses from NY time to my local time which is UCT +2:00. - thus a seven hour difference. At the time I as looking at a workspace that contained MGC and M6E contracts - no issues.
Today I opened up the MES workspace. It stops printing at 16:00 my local time which is 09:00 a.m. NY. On the 1-min chart it starts up again at 17:01 equal to 10:01 a.m. NY.
In view of the fact that MGC and M6E work just fine, what am I to change to fix this?
The images attached are from today.

Hello Brian.T,


Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


What is the ultimate goal here behind changing the hours to your local time? It seems like the change made prematurely cuts off the trading session.



Please advise.

Hi Luis,

Simply to make my life easier and work in my local time on the platform. I have a clock on my wall which displays New York time for me.

But if the only way I can get it wokring again is to chnage back to New York time then I will do that.

Is there anything that I should look at to fix this?

I have just changes it back to New York time and restarted NinjaTrader. I also reloaded all historical data. I get the same issue.

I have just solved the issue myself. In case anyone else gets a similar issue with their data displaying odd cut-off times here is the resolution.
In the Tools menu under options, you can safely set the time zone to your local time if that is how you prefer the charts to display.
But, in the Tools menu under 'Trading Hours' scroll down to CME US Index Futures ETH and make sure that the time zone reflects Central Time (UTC -6:00). The start time for each day should be 17:00 with an end time of 16:00.
