Hi All - I'm sure this has been touched on in the past, but I
can't find comments on it when I search the blog. Tradestation
seems to think that the "Regular Session" is 9:30 am to 4:30 pm
Eastern (and probably rightly so). Is there an easy way to make it
stop at 4:00 pm Eastern? I see that I can customize the
session. Is that the best way to go about it, or is there a
simpler way? Thanks! And I hope you all made a boatload today.
:)
I have created a custom session so that I can use the normal
sessions for backtetsting etc. If you just want to change the
regular session it is easy enough to do. Just click on Use Custom
Session then change the time periods on one of the supplied custom
sessions. Any questions, let me know - I'd be happy to walk you
through.
To get a consistant 4 pm close in TS, I went to "sessions"'
"other sessions" clicked on US stock w/premarket "modify" and
eliminated all the premarket sessions, leaving only the daily
sessions. I use this as my default. It closes all ETFs
at 4pm. Hope thei helps.

Michael, I think that is true except for the ETF's - at least MOST of the ETF's we use around here. And those close at 4:15 under the regular session.
