    For those of you who need a time template for OSE for QT. This is what I'm using right now. If I'm missing anything, please feel free to correct.

    Edit: Forgot to mention, with this template, it seems to work fine for me. But once the session is over, QT fails to roll over to the next day right away. Instead, it'll show tons of empty bars, you have to scroll back using the scrollers on bottom of the chart.

    But as soon as next session starts, all is fine again :confused:

  5. Are you sure that they are not just backfilling when the (usually brief nowadays) down period is over.

    Hi Kiwi,

    I still have not switched over to Hong Kong server yet, but you're correct, the down time lasted just a few seconds. For example, the system reset tonight was at 12:19 am. I barely noticed the brief outage for just a few seconds. Then it backfilled automatically, and all was fine again.

    I've been watching, and sim trading the N225M for almost a week now, and so far I like it. I may go live with 1, or 2 lots this week :)

    ps: I'm going to look into SPI, this week also.

    Hi all, a quick question to Learner2007, Def, or someone who knows; the evening session for N225M supposedly started since Sept. 18th. But I'm not seeing any trading activities, can you confirm if it has started, and if IB is relaying data?

    Regards,
    Schaefer

    Okay, I see it now. I had the "Show pre/after market" option turned off :D

    The volume is pretty low though, I guess it'll take a while to catch on.

    Thanks Def,

    Why is the unbundled commission 50% more for Ni225_m? I saw some archive saying it was because of yen programming, yet, regular Ni225 is cheaper for unbundled. What gives?
