Trading hours online vs templates

[Skifree]

I'm trying to implement a blackout into my strategy for trading hours so I can stop getting hammered by liquidation fees. on the margin page for NYMEX it says 15:45/16:00 CT but on the template it says 14:30 CT

What's the source of truth to utilize?

Hello Skifree,

To stay up to date with margin values you would want to reference the information that your broker publishes on the website. The platform has trading hours but those define the actual trading session, not the hours where day margin is enabled. For NinjaTrader accounts you can reference the following page which lists the intraday margin end times.

Thank you for the clarification - it's margin enforcement. For a 24hr future, why it looks like the full day enforcement is only 15 min long?

Hello Skifree,

To go into further detail about specific margin requirements for instruments that you plan to trade you would need to contact your broker who can go over that in more detail.
