Retrieve Session Template

[Zeos6]

Is there a way to programatically get the name of the session template being used by the primary data series? Thank you.

EDIT:
In NT7 there was Bars.Session.TemplateName. What is the equivalent in NT8?

Hello Zeos6,

Thanks for your post.

You can use Bars.TradingHours.Name

Hello Zeos6,

Thanks for your post.

You can use Bars.TradingHours.Name

Please officially document that, just as it was done in NT7. I have multiple indicators that must display on the chart, the session template that is in use.

Hello Koganam ,

Thanks for your reply.

The trading hours template name property is documented in the helpguide, I missed it when responding earlier. Thanks for the opportunity to add reference information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...hours_name.htm

Thank you for the reply Paul.

A question:

Bars.TradingHours.Name gives the session template associated with the instrument in the instrument list. For example, for ES, you get 'CME US Index Futures ETH'. If the chart uses a different trading hours template for the instrument (as set in the Data Series properties window), for example Default 24x7, Bars.TradingHours.Name still returns 'CME US Index Futures ETH'. Is there any way to get the name of the trading hours template actually applied to the Data Series on the chart rather than the session template associated with the instrument?

Hello Zeos6,

Thanks for your reply.

In my tests the template name returned is the one from the data series and changes when you change the template in the data series. I check for the name in the OnBarUpdate().

Hi Paul,

D'oh! Dumb mistake on my part. I was checking Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.TradingHours.Name rather than the Bars.TradingHours.Name. You are quite correct. My apologies. Rather than checking in OnBarUpdate() I check it once in State.DataLoaded.

Thanks for the help.

Uh oh. I looked at that page multiple times and still managed not to see that! I may have to officially declare myself to be an idiot.
