1. The start time of the bar. 2. It covers the time from 03:00 to 04:59:59 3. No. You have a Session Start Time of 10:00. Therefore, you will have a new bar that starts at 10:00 and then 2 hour bars until the evening session start at 17:00. Then you will get 2 hour bars starting at 17:00 until the start of the next day session at 10:00 again. In other words, you should be seeing the following bar times: 10:00 12:00 14:00 16:00 17:00 (start of evening session) 19:00 21:00 23:00 01:00 03:00 05:00 07:00 09:00 10:00 (start of next session) your actual bar times may vary depending on your time zone relative to the 1 hour break each day for the CME Group. If you want your bars to be on odd times, then you need to have a Session Time start that is on an odd hour. Also, your ending session times need to NOT include the following hour. For instance, if your day session ends at 17:00:00, then you need to enter an end time of 16:59:59.
