I had this posted in the thread on session templates:

Correct Sessions for Your Charts

TF is very similar to the other index futures. Settlement is at the same time. Just the night session starts a bit later and the current session only will end at 6:00 PM EST. This means that TF has an after-session. If you use ETH pivots the earnings …

I hope this helps

All session templates use exchange time. That way you get the correct opening hours, even if you trade from Congo or Afghanistan.

@Silvester17 so when im trying to setup my DX here as compares to the TF settings, i need to set the end time at 5pm est and not 6pm est? but it starts at the same time on sunday at 6pm est? and they both open at 8pm est? thus the tf having 2hr between close and open and the DX having 3hrs?

you got it right.

summary:

DX open 8:00 pm est, close 5:00 pm est

TF open 8:00 pm est, close 6:00 pm est

except on sundays, they both open at 6:00 pm est

Trading times for DX are 8:00 PM to 5.00 PM EST. The Sunday session opens 2 hours earlier at 6:00 PM EST.

@ Silvester17 was 1 minute faster to answer, but as there is no contradiction, I will leave this post.
