SessionIterator is something I use in almost every indicator and strategy I make so I definitely plan to cover it (hopefully soon). Once you figure out how it works, it's such a simple but useful mechanism. In the meantime, here is a code snippet to hopefully get you running:

 
Code
private SessionIterator sessionIterator;
private DateTime sessionBegin;
private DateTime sessionEnd;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    base.OnBarUpdate();

    if (base.CurrentBars[0] < base.BarsRequiredToPlot)
    {
        return;
    }

    if (this.sessionIterator != null)
    {
        if (base.IsFirstTickOfBar && base.Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession)
        {
            if (this.sessionIterator.GetNextSession(base.Time[0], false))
            {
                this.sessionBegin = this.sessionIterator.ActualSessionBegin;
                this.sessionEnd = this.sessionIterator.ActualSessionEnd;
            }
        }
    }
}

I "new up" my sessionIterator field in the DataLoaded state because it requires a Bars object. So however you handle NT8's different states in OnStateChange (I use a switch statement, I've seen others use if/else), you'll need this:

 
Code
if (this.Bars != null)
{
    this.sessionIterator = new SessionIterator(this.Bars);
}

Thanks you, I just watched your new video, I hope you cover this sometime in a video

It took a little longer than expected to edit the video tutorial, but I also decided to create a how to article. Links to both

I'm not sure why the article thumbnail is showing "Some highly recommended books" but it is in fact the session iterator + trading hours how-to.

I think the article block is kind of like an advertisement from futures.io
