The natural hour time setting causes the chart bars to end on the
hour. For example on the S&P500 futures with a compression of 60
minutes, the first bar of a chart of regular trading hours is only 30
minutes long and ends at 9am central time. The remaining bars are 60
minutes long ending at 10, 11,12,1,2,3 and the last bar is 15 minutes
ending at 3:15.
If you don't have the natural hour setting selected, using 60 minutes
compression the first bar of the day ends at 9:30 and the rest on each
half hour through the rest of the day with the last bar being 45
minutes from 2:30 to 3:15.
