Trade Sunday for Monday's trade date

Postby Stormy » 29 Sep 2014

Hello,
I have a system that starts trading on Sunday night, these trades opened and closed on Sunday night
should be part of Monday's trade date as they are in clearing.

The Multicharts performance report 'Daily Period Analysis' splits these trades into a Sunday trade date and Monday trade date.

Anyway around this to show all trades clearing on Monday to match the exchange ?


Thank You for your help!

Hello Stormy,

You need to configure session settings for your charts, as the report is based on the chart.

Correct, I have my session set to start Sunday at 5pm CST (Globex open) to Monday at 3:15pm (session end)

However, in the performance report, it continues to show any trades done on Sunday night until 12am as a 'Sunday' rather than combining them into the Monday session.

All US exchanges that I am aware of consider Sunday night trades for trade date Monday.

Actually any trades done during the evening should be part of the following days total.
The performance report does this inaccurately each night.

Trade an ES contract at 6pm Tuesday, and it goes to Tuesdays total on the Performance Report
when it should be part of Wednesday's P/L

The Performance report should be based on the session end.
