inspired Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 For some Australian stocks, here in Australia, I have yahoo backfilled candles to Dec 16, then nothing till---tomorrow, the 24th, which presumably should be today. Intraday chart also is spreading itself into tomorrow, Tuesday. Also, any ability to save a snapshot gif or jpeg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 what are the exact symbols that you are entering into MT, including exchange Yahoo backfill - are you referring to intraday or historical? Yahoo doesn't do intraday more than a day snapshots - that is something we will implement when we do social. For now you can just hit ALT+PrintScreen to copy the image to the clipboard and then paste it wherever you want, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 And, what time frame is set on the chart's View tab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I did find one issue with Yahoo HIst Backfill for AU stocks where the data would be shifted one day back. That doesn't however explain the future date. right click on one of the symbols that shows Dec 24 and select RAW DATA. Does the top row have Dec 24 date?

Jerry Medved Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Also, you should use BHP:ASX instead of BHP.ASX That way MT knows that it is ASX exchange. with a period, it doesn't. For gaps, clear the data on the historical chart and backfill again. Does it come in OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspired Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi Jerry, Still having issues with the wrong date candles. This seems to happen randomly, some days the candle shows the correct date, but on others, like today, December 31, today's candle on any of the stocks shows as tomorrow---January 1, 2014. (that would be great prescient trading if only it were possible!) I have Australian equities chosen, with Yahoo as the source, and Canberra/Melbourne/Sydney as the time zone. Clearing the data and backfilling only brings up the same January 1 date. In raw data, for say, BHP (BHP:ASX) the first column, Dt (presumably date) every row is 23. For historical data, each column is 23 as well. Regards Inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I see the Jan 1 on Level I quotes. Will check why. As for "23" - what do you mean? is it showing the number 23 or are you just abbreviating something? If just the number, then what do you have set on Options for the date format?

Jerry Medved Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hmm, it seems that Yahoo is returning "12/31/2013", 10:10 PM as the time on the quote. MT is expecting the time to be UTC, so that is where the bad data is coming from. I will see if we can get it to return some specific timezone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspired Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks for the response. Yes, the number 23 is in the general settings in dates. I have reset the formats, so in the general settings for dates there is the letter d, for date/time the letter g, and short time t. Is that correct? As a result, historic data is now correct (apart from the January 1 problem) and raw data is correct at 31/12/13 until 15:59:00. Then it starts at tomorrow's date 01/01/14, from time 13:43:00 until closing time 14:10:00. Default opening hours are 10 am to 4 pm, but today was a shortened day, so may have thrown the rat data times out? Regards Inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes, d is correct (for the default date format) As for the future date, I put in some kludge in MT date processing for Yahoo data to take care of the issue when Yahoo screws up. Will be in the next update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
