Over the weekend someone asked my opinion about a couple of stocks (WMS, OCLR). I usually just deal with futures, so I connected to the free Kinetick data feed.
I proceeded with my analysis, and he stopped me because the dates I mentioned didn't seem right to him. I was using the mini-databox to get the dates, but the main databox was the same. We checked a few other sources and sure enough the dates were off by a day. Digging a bit deeper showed that it wasn't the data. By looking at the data in the Historical Data Manager it shows the proper day.
I initially was using the default settings for Session template ("use instrument settings", which was "Default 24/7").
I have since tried changing the session template. If I change it after the chart is loaded I don't get any bars. If I change it in the Data Series dialog box when first creating the chart, it will load. However, when I check the Data Series dialog box again, the Session template setting has reverted back to "use instrument settings". When I try a different template, there aren't any bars again, but if I change to Default 24/7 template, the bars come back.
The attached pictures highlight the problem. With daily futures charts everything seems fine. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
VT
