2 daily bars for the same day

Postby Fabrice » 09 Aug 2013

Each day after 17h35 (local time), 2 bars for the same day are displayed in a daily chart. The bar that should not be here has a close time of 17:35. The correct bar has a close time of 22:00. Looking at the data in QM confirms that QM has recorded a close at 17:35. The session for this symbol ends at 22:00.

This wrong display lasts until the next morning when QM updates its quotes.
I had expected that this problem disappeared with the last build (august 7) but it goes on...

Regards.

The sessions for this symbol in QuoteManager are incorrect. It is necessary to set the Sessions equally to TWS Sessions of the symbol.
For FCEQ3 it is 00:15 EST - 23:55 EST, Exchange Time Zone is Eastern Standard Time.
In QuoteManager double click on the symbol -> Sessions tab -> Select Use Custom Sessions -> select Exchange -> click Add.
After it, you need to Reload the chart (CTRL+R on the chart).

I was almost sure your so general answer was not targeting this issue, but I missed the time to investigate more. Now I am almost sure this has nothing to do with QM setup. For 2 good reasons.

1) looking at the close time of each bar on the daily chart, I have found that the wrong series of close time (17h35 instead of 22h) begins the 08/08. As a matter of fact, this is exactly the day where I have installed the latest release of MC.Net (available on 08/07).
2) I have not tweaked any settings in QM for several weeks, because everything was fine - at least, the way I used MC.Net made the close time correct each day.

What was perfectly working until 08/07 just does not work properly since 08/08. As I do not especially believe in merely coincidences in computing, the most probable reason of this issue is the new release of MC.Net, where QM/IB Connector behaves differently.

Regards.

Thank you for this answer. I have found a simple workaround that is enough for me at the moment. I may look further on this issue later and will let you know if I need assistance.
Thank you anyway.
Best regards.
