Wrong candlestick???

Postby aczk » 14 Apr 2013

Hi
I use MC with IB, both latest versions.

My daily candlestick chart of the HSI index seems to be wrong. Piece of the candlestick is missing, there is no big down gap today! The intraday data is correct though, see picture one (yellow is 5 min).

The chart in IB Traderworkstation is also correct, picture two.
Again intraday correctly displayed in TWS and MC.

Tried around with session templates to no avail. 24/7 or the correct HKEx hours give the same faulty result.

Thanks for any help on this.

Check the time zone you have set for your computer.

Hello aczk,

Please compare MultiCharts status line OHLC values on HSIJ13 1 day chart with IB TWS OHLC values (not TWS chart but main TWS grid).

On your first screenshot MC status line shows odd values. It looks like incorrect values are sent by TWS.
