At the time you asked, the last time stamp was 16.30. I then closed NT and restarted, and the new timestamp then was 16.45.

I closed and restarted NT now, and the timestamp is 17.45.

Date is 12th Jan.

I suggest you leave your PC clock at your real local time. I'm not sure if IB internal client<->server communicaiton is able to handle what you want to achieve.

It worked (for a long time) OK in NT5, and it also worked in NT6. Its just that there have been several occasions where this freezing of the last bar has occurred, in both NT 5 and 6, so I don't think it is related to internal clock time.

Anyway, the tick chart is showing the correct PC clock time...and updating each tick.

The issue is related to downloading historical data from IB's servers. This is supported for minute and daily data but not for tick data -> that's why you experience the problem not on tick charts.

OK, so issue must be IB's end, not me or NT, right?

I am using NT6.0.0.5 and TWS 865.7

Any known issues with this combination?

Ther is no issue with your combination of NT and TWS. Just leave the PC clock at your real local time and you will be fine.

OK, I adjusted the PC clock to local time then rebooted PC.

NT bar charts now seem to be working OK. Call me pig-headed, I am not yet convinced that was the solution to the problem - perhaps it was the rebooting..anyway I will monitor it and keep you posted of any developments. Sorry for all the time wasting.
