BitMEX uses a 8 hours trading session for futures. What would happen if I consider that the "daily" fields in structure in DTC apply to the 8 hour trading session ? It seems more consistent with BitMEX because there is more data streamed about the "trading session" rather than 24h data.

There is no harm with this. The "daily" market data values can be considered "session" values. Perhaps they should be renamed but typically they are used for daily trading sessions. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-09-04 00:25:48

We are going to change the name Daily to Session in the messages and fields. We see the importance of this.

Sure, if I asked the question maybe others are wondering the same thing. It's clearer if it is "trading session" rather than "daily".

Yes. It should use the word "session" because this is what the FIX protocol uses for those fields.
