2 bars for the same day at the opening

Postby Fabrice » 16 Nov 2012

At the opening there are 2 bars for today. See Pict1 and the 2 vertical lines that show the same day.
After closing and reopening the workspace, 1 bar is displayed (Pict2).
Regards.

Hello Fabrice,

1. What is the version of MultiCharts (Help -> About MultiCharts)?
2. What are the chart settings (right-click on chart -> Format Instruments... -> Settings)?
3. What are the symbol settings in QuoteManager (right-click on the symbol -> Edit Symbol... -> Sessions)?

You need to find out the correct symbols sessions and enter them in QuoteManager in the symbols settings. You can learn about the sessions these ways:
1. Make a right-click on the instrument in IB TWS -> Contract Info -> Description. It may contain the correct symbol session.
2. Plot a minute-based chart of the symbol in MultiCharts (session settings on chart should be 24/7 for this test) and find out when it starts ticking and when it stops to set respective session settings in the symbol settings in QuoteManager.
* Note: read about Regular Trading Hours in settings of IB data source in MC.
After the correct sessions are set up for each symbol, the issue should not take place anymore. Also a related issue was fixed in our new MultiCharts 8.5 Beta 1 version.
