How to build futures daily bars with full sesion time?

Postby andriuking » 19 Dec 2016

Hello.

I´m triying to build daily data from minute data. And I have the problem than the daily bars employs only determinate time sesion hours to generate it. Then daily bar doesn´t coincide with 1 minute bar range for this day.

I´d like to have daily bars from complete sesion, since 17pm until 16pm hours.

For example:

If you see the chartto sesion 01/11/2016, daily bar shows a high of 2125.50 but if you see the minute series the high was 2129.50.

I have view than is possible to choose how sesion is built, but choosing 24/5, 24/7, or CME:Equity Index Futures.

But choosing 24/5 the daily bar continues having a High in 2125.50. I think it takes it from 8h time.

¿How should I do to have daily bars with the complete hour range?

Could anybody helps me?

Thanks in advance.

I have tried also to create a custom sesion template choosing from local time (like the chart) from 0.00h until 22.15h but doesn´t work. The daily bar continues bigining about 14h local time.

I thougth to build a 1440 minutes bar instead a daily bar and it worked well, but MC understand than sesion closes at 07.00 local time and draws the daily bar at this time instead at 0.00h.

I managed to solve it with custom sesion for daily bar built from 1440 minutes, works fine.
