Regular trading hours end at 4PM EST (obviously), but a futures session goes until 5PM EST (ES, NQ, etc). However, with the recent post-4PM gaps with earnings, this has been brought to my attention. When looking at the *Daily* candles (Ninjatrader 8), the daily candle close is showing the 4PM close, instead of the 5PM close.
I am not quite sure why this is default, because, 4PM is NOT the close of the session.. 5PM is. Changing the template to 24/7 or 24/5 does not fix this. Does anyone have a solution to change the *Daily* candles to have a close of 5PM. (Yes, I could look at intraday like 4 hour, but doing tech analysis on daily candles in quite important, and having the wrong close on post-4PM gaps throw a wrench into things).
Thank you.
