Display only candlesticks bars within a specific period?

[clearpicks]

Is it possible to only display candlestick abrs within a specific period? For example, for CL, I would like to only view bars between 9:00-14:30, while for ES, 9:30-16:14. In esignal, it is possible to configure multiple time templates and apply them to different charts. Does NT have similar feature?

P.S. I found out a solution by editing the session begins and session ends fields in chart properties window. However this is not as neat as the time template conception in esignal. Anyway it meats my need at this time.

Thank you for your post.

Please right click in your chart and select the Properties menu item. Then you can set the Session Begins and Ends times however you like, but please note these are in your local PC clock time, and 12:00AM begins with 12:00AM ends is 24hr.

Local time example: if the market opens at nine EST and you live MST you will enter 7:00 AM.

Once you have a chart set exactly as you like it you can right click and select the Template--> Save As option to save the template and you can save one for every instrument if you like.

The way to create a custom session template has changed since this answer was posted. In NinjaTrader 7 a custom session template can be created using Session Manager and then applied in the Data Series window on the chart.

Please follow this video tutorial to create your own session templates:

and here is a link to the online help guide with more information on how to use Session Manager:

Once you have created your custom session template, right-click on your chart and select "Data Series..." > in the right pane, locate the "Session Template" property > click on the drop-down arrow to the right > locate your custom session template and left click > left-click "OK". Your custom session template will now be applied to your chart.
