How does one identify which Sundays that will be open for trading?
Sunday - Friday 6:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (5:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Chicago Time/CT) with a 60-minute break each day beginning at 5:00 p.m. (4:00 p.m. CT)
However, looking at Market Replay data it seems that marekt wasn't open on every Sunday. Take for example the last week. There was not trading between Friday (June 2'nd) and Monday (June 5'th).
Why was there no trading during Sunday on the fourth? Looking at older dates there are sundays where there is trading. How does one identify which Sundays that will be open for trading?
thanks.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Reason I was doubting was because when I looked into my charts it seemed as if it randomly didn't show several of different sundays where june the fourth was one of the examples. I'm using NT and after rebooting I see June fourth. I changed my time settings earlier without rebooting perhaps the timestamps got messed up.
When you change the time settings of your PC or the time settings of NInjaTrader (only possible with NT8 under Tools -> Options -> General -> Preferences -> Time Zone) all your trade data becomes obsolete.
Trade data is timestamped in the selected time zone and cannot be used anymore when you change the time zone.
Make your decision now and never change it afterwards
Best decide now which time zone you wish to use to display your charts. And then stick to that decision unless you are looking for trouble!
Does this apply to historical data that I downloaded from IQFeed while my computer was set to a different time zone?
Example: I downloaded historical data for the 07-15 CL contract tick data while set to East timezone. Two years later, my computer is now set to Central time. I can't redownload the 07-15 CL tick data because it's older than six months. Will my tick charts be wrong? Does deleting the cache fix this or no?
To be honest, I don't think I am affected by this since my main computer has always been in Central timezone but I'll have to check now.
