I've been trying to download Japanese historical stock data into Quotemanager using IB data. The problem with the Multicharts / IB configuration for Japan is that all stocks are directed to the exchange 'TSEJ" (Tokyo)- This works well for all Tokyo listed stocks but not for some 7974 (Nintendo), 6645 (Omron) etc etc where the primary market historically is Osaka. The historical data does not appear.
I can get all of the data in IB by using the 'SMART' exchange already in MC exchanges and used by IB, and by changing the market hours to 24/7, however, it means that these stocks could not be used in any portfolio analysis as the 'SMART' exchange is based on U.S. market hours and not Japan. Can't put stocks with different time zones in to a single portfolio.
If anyone has any simple solutions / suggestions, that would be excellent. I've tried creating a new exchange called SMARTJ, but it's not recognising and I'm assuming this is something to do with the link between MC and IB, and some additional coding might need to be added to create the linkage..
Anyway, all thoughts appreciated as Japan has some unusual settings.
Thanks in advance
