the only way i can get the charts to show tdy's open is to set the properties window box back one hour

Hello,

What time settings are you using in the chart that work? What time settings do not work?

What time zone if your PC clock set too, also please close NinjaTrader and sync your PC clock by double clicking on the clock in the lower right corner of your desktop. Once you have done that, click on Internet Time tab and then click Update. Your PC clock should now be updated and you may restart NinjaTrader.


For most data providers incoming data is time stamped based on the internal PC clock.

I am having a similar problem that duck described.

I am running the ZenFire data feed with NinjaTrader 6.5

My PC clock is set to the correct time, which for me is Eastern time.

Since the daylight savings time change this weekend, all of the charts I open are now being time stamped 1 hour behind. So for example, at 10:00 am, using a 1 minute bar chart, the current 1 minute bar is time stamped to 9:00 am on the chart.

A couple of possible solutions come to mind:
1. Delete Historical Data ? ... not sure if this would have any effect on the live data from zen-fire ?
2. Delete data for each symbol ?
3. A database reset ? ... not real enthusiastic to try this option due to destructive & unintended consequences.

Or is another/better solution recommended ?

Hello,

Thank you for your for your forum post!

Is this time stamping on live data or on historical data? As a change in PC clock will not change the time stamping on historical data, you mut reload the historical data in order for the change in time to take effect.

I look forward to assisting you further.
