hi
I am just wondering is it me only having this problem.
I am using IB as datafeed.
I have set the session for the ES and ER2 market to start from 00:00 to 23:59 under the quote manager
When I plot a chart using Regular session under the format symbol it always show up as full (24 hour session)
The only way I can plot a regular session charts is unless I change the timing to start from 8.30 to 15:15.
But I do need the 24 hour session at times.
PLEASE ADVISE
thank you
regular and 24 hour session not working
It took me a long time to figure out how MC treat sessions.
When you set your session as Regular, MC displays the chart according to the session you have assigned to the symbol. So, if your session is defined as 00:00 to 23:59, this is what MC will display under regular. When you set the setting to 24 hours, MC ignores the session assigned to your symbol and display all the data.
So, to do what you want to do, is the set your session as 8:30 to 15:15 and when change the setting to regular, this is what you will see. To see all the data, just change the setting to 24 Hour.
You don't have to define your custom session from scratch. MC already have one under the Custom Session Templates. Pick "CME: Equity Index Futures (Open Outcry)".
