Hi, can anyone help me with some ninjascript code:
I would like to programatically change the chart session template from cme us index futures eth to cme us index futures rth. I have and indicator in which i will place the code, just need ninjascript code to do it. Is there anyone kind enough to give me a little bit of hand?

Thank you and best regards

Hard to do that.. switch templates after loading the dataseries.

Much easier just to:

1) Use ToTime() to control trading hours. This is the most popular approach.
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?totime.htm
2) However, test for your needs to see if it simpler to just initially two dataseries in the place of one.. Load one dataseries for each trading template you want to use. So add two of these to OnStateChange.Configure
AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, string tradingHoursName)

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?adddataseries.htm
and then reference them in your OnBarData() code first using BarsArray[1] and then BarsArray[2] when you want to switch between the two trading hours templates.
If you are using time to make that switch then you gotta ask yourself would just using ToTime() for trading hour control keep it simpler.

The NT support forum is actually a great place to ask this question and get good help all the way through your development process.
