trading different session times for daily bars for multicharts
hi - can anyone please provide advice on how to configure multicharts so a signal trades daily bars based on session times rather than 24hr time. e.g. for TY futures i would like daily entry after the trading break ends at 18:00 rather than when the next calendar day begins at 00:00
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Thanks for the reply. I did have the session set up for TY to be from 1800 - 1700 as it appears with RTY in the images, but changed it to reflect how the orders were actually being placed so the on-chart signal simulation would match what i was experiencing through the portfolio trader. Also using IQ feed to trade with IB if that helps
Think i found the answer i was looking for by changing to session times for the instruments in portfolio trader that the strategy was using from default to one of the templates
yes, this should do it. Although one thing to keep in mind with daily bars and higher is how they are constructed. In case you are using daily data, your data provider will likely only provide four data points (Open, High, Low and Close). So even if you change the times that are displayed on the chart, the data might actually be the same just showing a different time stamp.
If you construct your daily bars out of minute data the times would be much more relevant on the other hand as in this case different data would be used to construct the bars according to the time settings.
