On the daily historical bars for the NQ continuous contract, what time does the bar open and what time does the bar close?

Hi George,

Not sure if this is exactly what you want... I've put a lot of time into OHLC and discovered this to work reliably.

I recommend creating a Daily chart and then adding the Daily OHLC study. Now open each of your smaller timeframe charts and use the Study/Price Overlay study to lay down the High, Low, and Close on all of your smaller timeframe charts.

Using this method, those values match the official values posted each day to the Settlements page found here: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/nasdaq-100_quotes_settlements_futures.html

Good trading.
