NinjaScript Default Trading hours to "CME US Index Futures RTH

[hotsalami]

I have a strategy that only uses the “CME US Index Futures RTH”. By default when a user enables this strategy for the first time in the strategies tab, NinjaTrader always defaults this property value to “Use Instrument Settings”. For the first time use, the user will always need to manually change the Trading hours to “CME US Index Futures RTH”. From what I can tell, there Isn’t a way I know of to code this in the strategy to always default the trading hours to “CME US Index Futures RTH”. Can you provide a way to do this in ninjjascript?

Hello hotsalami,

Thanks for the note.

There is not a way to set a session template from NinjaScript. You can detect which template is being used with the TradingHours.Name property and display a message to the user to change their session template.

There is also the Session Iterator class that you might find useful:
