Daylight Savings Time Affecting TS2Ki

[chuanli67]

Hi,

My TS2Ki received RT quotes one-hour later today, obviously affected by the new DST implementation. But my computer clock is correct though. Can someone advise what is needed to adjust in TS 2Ki?

Thanks!

In GlobalServer you need to adjust the Daylight Saving Time settings for each exchange that requires it (Tools->Edit Exchange List-> select Exchange-> click Edit Daylight Saving button)

Enclosed below is an example of how the Daylight Saving Time settings should be set in GlobalServer for the CME

Thanks Alexis. Previously collected data now charts correctly. However data being collected currently is time stamped 1 hour earlier. ie data at 11:00 am is marked 10:00am.

If you are located in a timezone affected by the change in Daylight Saving Time then you will also need to adjust the Offset from datafeed time setting in TradeStation which can be found under File-> Desktop Options in the General tab
If for example you are on the East Coast that would normally be set to -300 and would need to be changed to -240
Once you implement this change you should see the correct time stamps

Thanks for the prompt reply. The data time received I'm referring to is in the Global Server in the edit symbol box. When looking at the incoming
data the time is 1 hour earlier than it should be.

Offset from datafeed time setting in TradeStation
File-> Preferences in the General tab

Can't find this to correct it.

Where exactly is this? In Tradestation Charting, Global Server, Esignal

Thanks

Sorry that was a typo. The setting is in TradeStation under File-> Desktop Options

PS. I am also correcting my prior reply so as to avoid any possible confusion

Alexis, my Tradestation Charting is working perfectly. (Time is correct)
Datafeed offset is set at 0.

esignal data manager time synchronization is set to on.

However in global server data is being stamped 1 hour earlier than it should be.

Hi JLB
I reset my "Offset from datafeed time" to -420 minutes and my charts are running correctly again.

I am seeing the same thing however since all the charts appear to be plotting with the correct time stamps (using both data downloaded with the Plugin or collected in real time) I can't tell you if that is intended TS2k behavior or not.

Alex,

Things are fine for today after I edited the rules for DST within Global server. My Offset is zero.

Thanks again!
