Getting ES weekly chart to show only RTH data

[yuenster]

I tried using "CME Global Index Futures RTH" and even tried a manual trading hour of 9:30-4:15 EST for the data series but the HL of each bar still shows ETH. How do I get them to show only RTH HLs?

Hello yuenster,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Trading Hours templates have absolutely no affect on charts that are built using Daily data. Day, Week, and Year charts are all built with Daily data, which come fully formed from the provider using whatever format they choose. Most often, providers base their Daily bars on ETH. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to build an RTH chart on a Weekly interval.

Please let us know if we may assist you any further.

It's simply incredible that Ninjatrader yet haven't been able to provide this.

Check out this OLD thread here as this was asked years ago...

A user, RonnyKeller , provided a plug-in that I'm currently using to get weekly RTH bars. It seems to work great. Only problem is if I log off during trading hours and log back on the same day, the last day is not "available". But it's available again by the start of the next trading session. Not sure what that is, but it works great otherwise.

I completely agree. It's unbelievably NT cannot show Daily, Weekly or Monthly data using RTH data.

A serious shortcoming amongst several with this platform. They don't seem to be in a hurry to help fix this issue either.

I understand your sentiment but it's not all as dire as that...
The topic has been thoroughly discussed in the following NT forum link below.

Download and install the code on post 26.
Config the bars as shown below and make sure the chart has the RTH hours selected.
