What I use is Sessions - RTH Session, Overnight Session and ETH . So I want to have the Overnight Session data series (and be able to reference Session High/Low etc), RTH Session data series (H/L etc), & ETH Session (H/L etc).
I achieve this in NT8 by using 3 separate data series per instrument each with its own Session template. From these I can produce whatever chart style I
wish - time, tick etc based on RTH or ETH days. It works but is complicated.
The commonality (& what prompted me to post in/support your Feature Request) is that traders want - for varying reasons made by several contributors to your thread - to be able to access RTH AND ETH data, values etc. Some, as you and I, want both.
There is no easy and simple way to do this in the Platform.
Building RTH bars from Minute data doesn't seem particularly elegant especially when using long timespans. However if it has stood the test of time then as commented by another & reason for my Vote I would support Ninja incorporating it as core platform functionality, rather than requiring add-ons. Using multiple Data Series per instrument isn't an elegant solution either, but it works.
Kind regards,
Bruce
