i was just curious. Beginning with bars after my 2000 GMT bars, all bar times are 3 minutes later than their supposed to be. Eg. on the 15 min chart bars start at 2018, 2033 etc. Is that happening to everyone, or is it just me. I know, I'm dangerusly close to a conspiracy thearist, but I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing and if anyone knows why that is.

Quoting CurrencyCash
use another mt-4 broker who uses EDT 5pm close and open
Mine is from 21:00 to 23:59.
I personally don't trade during this time.
It resets at 0:00.
Why it has been doing this I don't know but it has been going from about 3 builds ago.

We should probably post the issue at IBFX support.
Attitude can reflect outcome in life and trading!

that's now normal.... some time back there seemed to be some potential trouble during those 3 minutes..... if i remember correctly someone or a group of traders figured out those 3 minutes presented a low liquidity issue...... they placed large orders to run stops..... i believe it was world wide issue.....

to protect it's customers, again if i remember correctly, ibfx halted trading for those 3 minutes..... around the time this was implemented, i clearly remember some large spikes....

i've been with ibfx for 7 or 8 years now...... my experience with them has been excellent.....h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h
