Just throwing this out there for @Spin , @Shtick Hustler , @mattmar10 & any other programmers out there I may have forgot...
In futures markets, a lot of us get our data from either Rithmic or CQG. Both deliver the "End of Day" data (Daily Bars) as a 24 hour session. So if I want to pull up a weekly or monthly chart, the data is gathered from those bars and it is impossible to get a chart showing only "Regular Trading Hours" (IE - 9:30 a.m. - 4:15 p.m. E.S.T.).
If I am looking at a 30 minute chart for example. I can toggle 24 hour / Regular trading session with the built in "Show Extended Data" option on MW and it works just fine. If you try that same button on longer term charts it does nothing because of the issue described above.
I have a friend who runs Ninja Trader and they have a study that basically strips out the overnight data and creates these bars. The inputs on the study are "Open Time", "Close Time" and "Time Frame" (Daily, Weekly, Or Monthly).
My question to the programmers whom are much smarter than me at this kind of stuff.... Would making a similar study for MW be an easy thing to accomplish, or a huge deal?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!
