IB and CME trading hours discrepency??

Postby StefanoSF » 15 Apr 2014

I have a ES trade that's suppose to execute at the open of the next daily bar which, based on my QM session settings and the CME exchange should be 15:30 CT. However, the trade was executed at 8:46 CT the next day.

My IQ settings are set to CME session times using the MC Use Symbol Dirctionary Sessions.

I checked the CME website to confirm QM settings (http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity- ... tions.html)

However, when I check my broker, IB, website it states trading hours are 8:30-15:15 daily which is missing half the day.http://www1.interactivebrokers.ch/contr ... =140374604

Anyone understand why IB is showing these hours and how to get my trades to execute "Next bar Open: at 15:30 on a daily bar?

Unfortunately i cannot tell you why IB showing different hours (please contact them directly in regards to this question), but if you want an order to be sent with the first tick after session start, this order should be generated by your code at close of previous bar. Please make sure the sessions applied to the chart where your strategy is calculated are correct.
