Timeframe Holiday Error?

[ehjump]

Hi Jerry,

I noticed couple of holiday entries - "Christmas+" and "New Year's+" in the following MT timeframes:

CBOT Interest(e)

CME Globex

CME Globex FX

 

In all 3 timeframes:

- "Christmas+" has holiday times on December 25, 2014 as 05:00 to 16:00,

and

- "New Year's+"   on   Jan. 1, 2015 as 05:00 to 16:00

 

It looks like those entries were included in the timeframes by mistake, since the correct Christmas and New Year's (without the "+" sign) holidays also exist.

[Jerry Medved]

No, those are correct.  Remember that the overnight session's date is when it starts, so "the night before".  So, the regular Christmas entry is on the 24th.  The Christmas+ entry on the 25th is the half day entry for the day after Christmas.

[ehjump]

Correct, but the days after Christmas and New Year's are regular trading days. That is, the Globex & eCBOT trading hours are not holiday hours on 12/26/14 nor 1/2/15. See the CME web links below:

y, fixed that. I updated the configuration files - Select HELP / Check for updates. Get any updates, then restart, even if there were none.

[ehjump]

Oh, oh! Looks like, with the update, all the 2014 holidays were deleted - the timeframes I checked were CME Globex, eCBOT, "CME Globex FX," NYMEX and ICE WTI Crude. And, the "New Year's+" holiday entry for 2015 was still there.

 

Note: I did the update like you said, and even restarted my computer.

[Jerry Medved]

no need to restart computer.

 

Just fixed that. Do the update again, same way I instructed above.

[Jerry Medved]

sigh. one more time. Third time is a charm

[ehjump]

Thanks, the 2014 holidays are back. But, the "Christmas+" and "New Year's+" holidays still show up in:

-  eCBOT timeframe - referred to as "CBOT Interest(e)-ZB,ZN,ZF,ZT" in MT, and

- "CME Globex FX"

[Jerry Medved]

y, that last change was for globex only. I just changed the other 2

[ehjump]

Jerry,

Just to clarify, on the last update, you fixed the CME Globex timeframe, but the "CME Globex FX" and eCBOT still have the "+" holidays

[Jerry Medved]

Try again

[ehjump]

Ay okay! Updated to version 1.0.0.21 and all three timeframes were fixed. Thanks a lot! Now, go to bed

[ehjump]

G'morning Jerry,

Did the latest MT update to 1.0.5876.2305 and the Christmas+ and New Year's+ holidays are back in the MT timeframes for:

1. CBOT Interest(e)
2. CME Globex, and
3. CME Globex FX

[Jerry Medved]

sorry about that. fixed. update again. 

[ehjump]

Thanks, Jerry. It is fixed.

[ehjump]

G'morning Jerry;

Did you get the email I sent with holiday settings for MT on Friday?

[Jerry Medved]

Yes, got it. sorry for not replying. trying to catch up

[ehjump]

Okay.
