Bad mkthours.ini file for Christmas 2014 and New Year's Day 2015

[bpschultz]

I awoke this morning to find my all-sessions charts showing incorrect market hours. Specifically, CME equity products, interest rate and FX products, and energy, metals, and DME products all opened for trading on Thursday, December 25 at 18:00 ET for trade date Friday, December 26. However, QCharts is not painting bars for the period between 18:00 and the open of regular trading hours, which of course varies by product. In other words, the overnight Globex trade for all of those products is not visible. See the CME holiday calendar here:

Please correct the coding in the mkthours.ini file for both Christmas Day and New Years Day as the coding is wrong in both instances. It would be very nice to see an updated file by the close of trading today.

Thank you.

Dear bpshultz,

Download the mtkhours.tab file from here. Copy into your QCharts directory and into the Sigtext folder. After doing so, rename the mkthours.tab file in the QCharts directory to mtkhours.inf. Relaunch Qcharts and the hours should now be correct.

Sincerely,

Eric
