I'm trying to understand trading terms. Specifically, I want to know what RTH and ETH mean in the context of trading. Can someone explain these abbreviations to me?
Both ETH and RTH serve different purposes and cater to various trading needs. ETH provides a comprehensive view of trading activity, while RTH focuses on the most active trading hours.

The first method is known as Electronic Trading Hours (ETH). This represents the primary and complete trading session for the instrument, adhering strictly to its specified guidelines.

The second method is Regular Trading Hours (RTH). Unlike ETH, RTH is a condensed session that only showcases data within a specific timeframe.

Specifically, RTH covers the period from 08:30 to 15:15 Central Time (CT). This timeframe is chosen to reflect the primary trading activity for the day.
