Hello

What is the reference for MC time. My broker is IB and I often have a couple of second between my chart time clock and IB time

My orders are automatically cancelled if not triggered before the end of the actual bar. To do so I send the command with the string that correspond to the ending time of the actual bar.

Often, my orders are cancelled before the end of the bar. This is a sign that IB and MC does't operate on the same time. I resolve the problem by re-synchronizing my PC clock from a time server

Is it possible to have MC use IB time server or time provided with IB bars data instead of my PC time?

Martin

Hello Martin,

MultiCharts uses your PC clock time.
TWS uses its own server time.
You can use IB time for the bars:
Please go to QuoteManager->Tools->Data sources->IB->Edit->enable the option "TWS bar timestamp"

Thank you Henry

Do i need to close down my charts and MC to get the new time reference in place?

Martin

Martin, it will be better to sync PC clock when MultiCharts is closed.
