Out of sync 4hr candlesticks.....how can I fix it?


Jabroni8

Question

Hello All, 

I've come across a random issue in PRT (within Spreadbet) whereby the 4hr candle for US markets is not synchronised compared to UK, Germany, etc.  Normally, the 4hr 'countdown' starts 00:00, then 04:00, 08:00, 12pm, etc......this is the time pattern i see for UK 100 however for US 500, taking today as the example; the 4hr candle should of started at 08:00 but instead it's starting at 09:00.

 

Does anyone else get this problem or have any suggestions how you fix this?  I don't have this issue with PRT CFD, I've compared my settings between both PRT instances and they are the same.....yet I get this bizarre issue in PRT Spreadbet platform. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Jabroni8

The current time zone set on your ProRealTime(PRT) platform is UCT+01:00 Europe/London. The time zones chosen affects all data including times displayed in charts, order lists and tick by tick lists. If you want the time setting on your PRT charts to match the IG Web platform time zone, please use the time zone UCT+00:00. You can change the time zone by selecting settings on PRT Toolbar > Time zones and Trading hours and click on Display all data in this time zone. 

You can have a look at this post on our forum on how to enable custom trading hours and weekend data. 

 

All the best, OfentseIG

Hi Admin, 

 

That's not the solution I'm afraid.  For example; at the time of writing this (7:37pm), the 4hr candle in PRT for Spreadbet shows the 4 hr candle with 1 hr and 22mins remaining.  In PRT CFD however, it (correctly) shows 22 mins remaining. 

How do I bring the spreadbet PRT inline with CFD so that the 4hr candle closes correctly?  setting the timezone is just to show the data in a given timezone, it doesn't do anything to when the candle 'clock' begins and finishes.

    • PayPal USD is a stablecoin backed by secure and highly liquid assets. It is designed to maintain a stable $1 USD value and is backed by dollar deposits, US treasuries, and cash equivalents. In just few steps, users can buy, sell & hold the PYUSD or even send it to friends in the US without paying fees on Paypal. The stablecoin can be sent to Ethereum wallet addresses that accept PYUSD, used to checkout and pay for items too, though fees may apply here. Need I mention that it can also be used to buy other cryptos as well. Interestingly, developers are not left out, they can use PayPal USD as the payments layer to build new services and products on public blockchains. It seems Paypal has made it pretty easy for users to manage their finances. PYSUD has a market cap of $44.3 million and is listed on tier 1 exchanges like Bitget, Kraken, Kucoin and Coinbase. Do you guys think that PYUSD has what it takes to rival USDT?
    • One of the biggest banks in the UK, Chase Bank, has said that it would no longer accept cryptocurrency payments from UK clients. On October 16th, the prohibition is anticipated to go into force. The region's crypto users have reacted to the bank's move in a variety of ways. While some detractors have criticised Chase for acting without regard for how the financial environment is changing, others have applauded the decision as evidence of the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by the general public. Chase's decision is unknown at this time, although it is most likely the result of a number of considerations, including the volatility and fraud risks connected with cryptocurrencies and the UK's lack of regulation.https://coinpedia.org/news/chase-bank-takes-a-stance-no-more-crypto-payments-for-uk-clients/amp/ Chase Bank's restriction on cryptocurrency payments is likely to have a big impact on UK cryptocurrency users, therefore it's important to prepare and have a backup plan in place. Here is a choice I am aware of right now: • Making use of a cryptocurrency exchange with in-house payment processing capabilities. Users would thus be able to purchase and trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a bank account, which is mostly used in peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. If you live in the UK and want to buy or trade cryptocurrencies, you need do your homework and pick a reliable platform. Please share any alternatives you are aware of with us so we can learn.
    • Hi all, I am looking to open a spreadbet trade for Steakholder Foods but IG seem to currently not allow this. Do any of you know how best I can trade this stock? Looking to buy at around 80
