vette Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 it looks like to me that IB backfill dropped the timezone (was eastern) and is now supplying UTC data instead when daylight savings time switched Sunday. I can't find a setting in quotetracker to change the Interactive Brokers timezone setting ; seems to be locked to eastern. is there any other option for this? I can't use the "display offset" function on the timing panel because that screws up data from other sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 QuoteTracker is dead - and yes, it does get messed up with DST. Get Medved Trader. It should handle DST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 http://www.medvedtrader.com/beta - use that to download and for IB instructions, refer to https://www.medvedtrader.com/www/frontend/blog/Interactive-Brokers-Setup-Instructions Though the TWS side should pretty much be setup already if you are using QT.

vette Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 will take a look, does it support the same api for it's clients (I have personal code that interfaces to quotetracker, which is why I still use it for some things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Are you using QT HTTP API? If so, should work without changes. If streaming API, then no. Not at this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 been so many years, but I would think it's the streaming api, pulling the live quote stream for data analysis. funny, the live quote stream from IB has no DST issues, only the stupid backfill and I can't find where to mod that on the IB side either.

Jerry Medved Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 You cannot mod it on IB side. It is a QT issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
