Due to the fact that data providers do not provide information about trading sessions for trading assets, traders may face the problem of incorrect display of volume analysis data for Regular trading hours (RTH) and for Electronic trading hours (ETH). To solve this problem, a trader can set up the necessary sessions for an individual instrument, exchange, or the entire connection to the provider.
As an example, let's set the time of RTH and ETH sessions for CME Indexes:
Open Sessions Manager panel in the Misc section
Click the Sessions templates button on the toolbar and Create new to open the Session template creation screen.
Set up a new template's parameters, such as: Template's name, Timezone, Session's name, Time and Days. Once you finish setting the sessions template, click the Save button.
Trading hours for RTH / ETH sessions of CME Indexes (ES, NQ, RTY etc.) you can find on CME Group website.
To assign previously created templates to some symbol, you need to call the Sessions assignment screen by clicking the Assign sessions button on the toolbar.
Apply or switch between different sessions on desired panels (chart, DOM trader, TPO etc.). Just open the panel's settings and find the Custom session parameter (usually in the General section).
CQG provides access to continuous futures data ONLY for LIVE ACCOUNTS. To activate this data, go to the connection settings and turn on "Request continuation history".
Note that CQG has data limitations for continuous futures:
3-month history limit for intraday bars
3-year history limit for daily bars
