Time frame Setting Problem!

Postby RobinG » 16 Mar 2013

When I try to set the time frame as 15 minutes, the time of each bar in the chart is not like "10:00:00,10:15:00,10:30:00,...", but is like "10:10:00,10:25:00,10:40:00,...", which is rather stupid. Does anyone have any idea for this problem? I am using MultiCharts64 Version 8.5 Release (Build 6851).

Thank you all!

What is the instrument?
What is the chart starting time?

Hello RobinG,

MultiCharts is using the bar close time for the bar timestamp. You need to check the sessions for this instrument. Go to Format->Instrument->Settings tab->check what Session is selected for the chart.
If it is set to "Default" then go to MultiCharts->File->New->QuoteManager window->double click on the symbol you need->Sessions tab.
If a custom session template is used go to MultiCharts->File->New->QuoteManager window->Tools->Session templates.


Return to “MultiCharts”
