The suggested template that I get in the insturment manager is "CME FX Futures ETH". But the problem with that is that template has it starting like at 19:00. I know the TF opens up at 8:30, so I'm reluctant to use the suggested one. If I swith it to the template "CME US Index Futures RTH" then it opens and closes correctly. Which one should I use? Should I go against the suggested template? Which do you guys use? Thanks for any help

I don't know the name, maybe someone else can be more specific, but in lieu of another response, find/create one that starts at 8:30 and finishes at 3:15, central

The open on a daily chart is at 19:00 so the "correct" one is the default.

But if you want only the day session you can use the other one.

I would use the default one.
