Interactive Brokers CFD IBDE30, IB EU50 etc trading hours

Postby Leo » 28 Jan 2016

Hi all, how can I get on MC the correct charts with the regular trading hours? For example, IBdE30 trade from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. however on MC i get charts with abnormal trading hours, say from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
I've already tried to change the IBDE30 session in a custom session in QuoteManager as you can see in the link below but was unseccesfull

Hello,

Try this :

HI thank you for your answer. I've setup as you suggested and now have trading time for both IBDE30 and IBEU50 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. However they both trade from 8 a.m. so I'm still missing the first two morning bars.

Have you reloaded the data?

MultiCharts collects data 24/7, regardless of what session times you have configured.
ie. whatever your dataprovider have sent out, MultiCharts would have captured it and saved it in your computer.

If you can see some bars on the charts but not all of them, there are 3 possibilities:

1. The data provider do not have those bars.
2. the is a discrepancy between the exchange time and your computer time.
3. You need to reload the data.

Ok , sorry it didn't solve the issue. I've all quotes on my chart, maybe you should try to reload them.
According IB webpage, index cfds quote from 9:00 to 22:00 CET, so you have just one hour missing.

I'm not quite sure what you mean about reloading data, however this is what I did: opening Quotemanager, I deleted both data and cleared the cache, but again was unsuccesfull and I am still having hourly bars from 10 a.m..
By opening the same CFD on the chart on the TWS, all hourly bars area available and it starts from 8a.m. as it has to do, ths there should'nt be any discrepancy between exchange time and computer time.

Thanks

10am is the closing time in hourly resolution, if you put your chart in 5min candle, the first candle will have 9:05am time .

However, my first morning bar is at 10.am. instead of 8.am.

Hello Leo,

In MultiCharts the bar timestamps are referring to the close of the bar.
If your session starts at 8:00 then the first 1 hour bar will have 9:00 timestamp.
Please configure the sessions according to this screenshot:

Thank you Henry, where to find that "Session template" windows? It's quite different form the one available in Quotemanager, and the modifications did not solve the problem

It's a custom session template named IB CFD. See setting custom session templates for how to make one.
