It only just happened the other day Quake, they used to run fine on the template I'd made with my comp on melbourne time and the chart session showing 11:15 till 2 then break etc. etc. but something has gone astray as I'm only able to get it to show the right data if I use the standard HKFE and change my comp time to Hong Kong time. Gonna have a play around this weekend.
If you get a chance put up a screenshot of your session manager template aswell as data series what session template you're running.
 
Seems like the seng is holding up (or xina50 down) relative to where they usually sit with each other... hmm.
 
TH did you have a function set for moving your orders up or down when you were using IB hot keys? It's the only one of my functions that isn't working still. It's preset is alt + up and alt + down but nothing happens if I do that combo with an order waiting, also tried changing the key combination to no avail.
 
After kind of resolving my time issue with NT session templates, I got to place one trade for the day. Which was a scratch!
Process was good. one trade.png

Yeah only half the price range average of recent times to boot. Does look like there were a couple nice stop sweeps in the morning session though!
Also, cannot get over how much quicker and accurate Keys are than the mouse.
 
Man 40 ticks open profit smashed back against me in that push short, wtf was that lol.
Anyone know if there's a way to filter out (as it comes in, not readjusting historical data) block trades from showing on NT charts, I'm getting such terrible vol data now it's end of month I pretty much have to run the IB chart side by side.
This better push above 896!
 
40 tick open to 15 tick against in one 1min bar ( :eek: ) but the trade confirmation was still there so held on for a 54 tick winner, now looking for a continued long rally after a failed break to the shortside. Divergence on the lows but someone was really trying to keep that thing down and get some short traders on board phew.

As per usual Quake I took my trade off too early (the scalper in me lives on ha!) so I've been here second guessing my next entry watching the move go what was my way ha. The joys, must work on the process of holding on to the bastard haha.
In Hindsight I should've been keeping more of an eye on the 5min chart as you suggested, if my memory serves me correctly I don't think i even looked at it during the trade. Another process fail, DOH.

Its a lot harder on 1 contract where you can't take profits and let the others run.

Personally i think theres more gas in the tank, but waiting to see how this retrace plays out.

Also, anyone play around near the close of the HSI yesterday? My god that thing just wouldnt go down! Europe rolls over, then rolls over again, and the HSI chops down a little then snaps back up! (only to drop in post mkt session..)

Yeah, I'm all in or all out, 1 lot warrior lol. :(

I shorted 22033 and closed early cause I wasn't getting the speed which I thought it would push back a bit with. Hindsight ey.

I presume you however didn't cover waayyy too early!

Random question, anyone know of a NT strategy/indicator that allows one to turn on say a chandelier or supertrend stop whenever you want and then turn it back off once you're done?
I've toyed with running the supertrend as a gauge of a trailing stop but it's hard if an entry is initiated long while it's short for example or something similar as it can mess with decision making process

p.s. cannot believe that dropped to 896, had it pegged at 940 at BEST, what a short push!

Are your charts still showing funny times Quake? The problem was resolved for me by going back to 938.1 version of TWS (I think CanOz suggested this months ago when my NT was working fine, should've listened!).
