IBKR TWS gives me different stock prices as TradingView/DASTrader

Hello,

today I noticed, that TWS gives me differnt stock prices (in charts) as my other plattforms like TradingView or DASTrader.

I assume that is a setting on TWS and not really a bug in TWS, but at the moment I'm completely confused.

When I compare daily charts between TWS and TradingView/DASTrader, it looks really different. Candles have different High, Close, Open and Low Prices. Even candles are different colors. Strange...

I have attached two Screenshots (TradingView and TWS). As an example, I have selected PINS (NYSE) in the area 20.8.2021.

In TWS: Candle for "PINS (NYSE)" for the days 19 and 20.August are nearly identically. In TradingView you can see that the 20 is a "much" better day as the 19.August.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks
Robert

 

It may be just that each of the data suppliers treat time zones differently. One might be reflecting a day according to the exchange time zone, while the other may be reflecting a day according to your time zone.

The other thing to check is that one data provider may be treating the Sunday night session as part of Monday, the other data provider may be ignoring the Sunday night session completely.

Timezones and daily charts are a pain. I ended up changing the computer time zone to the time zone where I trade the most, US Central, and that fixed all my timezone related problems.

To get a better idea of what is going on, take the charts down to a lower timeframe, and check them against each other.

Make sure both graphs include extended hours. (or don't).

 

Comparing to my TZ charts for PINS it looks to me that your TWS charts are not displaying correctly. But it's hard to tell from the screenshot and the example you gave.

Most likely it's not reflecting extended hours or something else.

 

I'm betting it's this. Make sure the extended hours is off (or on if that's what you want)

 

Many thanks for your help - Problem solved!

Yes, problem based on "extended hours" settings. In TWS Chart Settings is a option "Show data outside of regular trading hours". It was enabled.

After I switched it off, chart looks identically with TradingView/DASTrader.
