Can someone tell me why there is no option for a four hour time frame on the desktop app?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
There’s Minutes and you can add and remove as many options as you like, so you have to add 240 minutes.
As a matter of perspective, some platforms have “hour bars” that are based on natural (clock) hours rather than 1 hour = 60 minutes. For instance, the first “1 hour” bar of ES RTH would be from 9:30 ET to 10:00 ET, while the second “1 hour” bar would be from 10:00 ET to 11:00 ET. NinjaTrader does not take this approach, and instead orients the bars relative to the starting time of the trading hours, so if the trading hours start at 9:30 ET, the “1 hour” or “60 minute bar” runs 9:30 ET to 10:30 ET.
Probably, keeping the language at 60 minutes avoids this ambiguity, because everyone can easily agree on what 60 minutes is, while hours introduces that question of whether they’re trading hours or natural/clock hours, if that makes sense.
