    Forcing Volume Charts

    How can I force Volume charts to begin the "Volume Count" at a specific time of day. Attached is an image showing different Candlesticks on charts that were opened with different "Days Back" and and a Strategy Back Test all with different Open and Closes.

    This has the possibility of radically altering Entries and Exits, indicator signals, not to mention back testing results. I have not checked Tick Charts but I assume the same issue exists. I was getting very frustrated trying to determine why the Back Test Chart was not firing Entries and Exits when it should base on the regular chart. I was convinced that my Ninja Code was the culprit until I realized that charts are different based, I think, on when the first trade is loaded on the chart and not the first trade of when the day begins.

    Consistency is a good thing. How can I create it on Volume Charts?

    Thanks.

    If you have defined session start and end times on a chart, the historical chart will always looks the same.

      On the Properties Icon located on the chart what would I enter for Session Begins and Session Ends if I wanted to recreate the Globex Trading Hours which , I think, begin a new day at 4:30 PM and Close at 4:15 PM the following day. When I enter those times respectively I get a blank chart. What am I missing?

        Sessions across midnight not supported in NT6. It is in NT6.5 currently in beta.

          So if I want to continue using NT6 for live trading my best option to set Session Begins 12:00AM and Session Ends 11:59 PM to create consistency on the charts and Back Test. Is there a better option?

          Will get NT6.5 when exits Beta. Until then I prefer NT6 with live trading.

          Thanks for your help. On a Sunday to boot. You guys are good.

            Unfortunately that is just a limitation of NT6.
