On a NT7 time-based chart such as daily, I want to see the total volume traded for a given day.
If I select a day by middle-clicking it, I get the volume for the RTH session. Example for CL yesterday: volume showed is 199,705 which was total RTH/Pit hours traded volume.
I figured, the way to get the total ETH volume was to right-click on the daily bars, go into Properties, and change the Session template from <Use instrument settings> to <Nymex Metals / Energy ETH>, but that still shows the same amount of volume.
Any ideas?
Apologies for the relatively noob question, I searched here and tried things myself but I can't find what should be a simple answer.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
if you use daily bars, it all depends on your data provider. some will only deliver rth data (like cqg). in that case it's better to use a 1440 minute chart. that way you'll get the eth volume
this is interesting!! it looks like nt8 is handling it differently. here I only get eth data as opposed to nt7 where I only get rth data with daily charts (my provider is cqg)
so I guess it depends on data provider + platform + version
NinjaTrader 7 with CQG/Continuum and Rithmic used RTH for daily bars. For NinjaTrader 8 we changed that to ETH to be in line with other market data providers in the industry.

Just to clarify: in NT8 you now see ETH traded volume for daily bars but, should you wish to see only one session (e.g. RTH, or night only, or custom) is there a way to do it?
You can't change the session for daily bars. You could play around with minute bars to create a bar representing a particular session, I believe.
