timestamps attached to qqq bars

[Objectivist]

As of yesterday, realtime bars for QQQ, delivered through the activex interface, have incorrect timestamps. The timestamps are about 20 minutes into the future. I've tried this on multiple machines with both the most recent and previous versions of esignal 7.6.

Ticks data is also incorrect, although I haven't characterized the exact problems with it.

Never mind. I just figured out that the timestamps delivered trhough the activex interface are always in eastern standard time (even when eastern local time has gone to daylight savings).

One to add to the documentation?

Timestamps

There is no bug.

Timestamps that you receive from eSignal are based off the GMT. There is an option to syncronize your time with the data servers, under Options->Time. . . in the DataManager to avoid future timestamp issues.

There is also an option in your Windows OS to automatically adjust for daylight savings time.
