Anyone know how to restrict the display of the ES chart to only regular market hours in QuoteTracker? I have set the chart options to never display data outside of market hours for all securites however the ES chart displays data for all hours so it is very difficult to view the chart for the current day without having to scroll. If I switch to an equity (GROW for example) the chart only displays the data from 9:30am to 4:30pm EST. Thanks
Which/what market hour to display could be set individually for different symbols in QT. In your case, click the yellow clock iron on ES chartâs toolbar and select CME ES â Regular Hrs.
on the main QT window go to Options/Edit Preferences/Charts/Multi-dayTimeframes and select the futures Timeframe you want (i.e. CME ES, MID - Regular Hours). you can also do this by clicking the yellow clock on the disappearing toolbar at the top of the chart. and keep the Never Show Pre/After Market checked. you can set the default to be Never in the Options/Edit/... as well. you can also create a custom timeframe and try that. otherwise, you may be able to email Jerry and send him the necessary file(s) for him to inspect. fwiw, i tried it with US Equities and the RTH CME and both complied with RTH only display. btw, did this just start happening or has it ever worked for you? hth
Thanks I will try this out. I also got a reply from the QT folks. Re. you question, I only added the ES to my watchlist today. Edit: I tried what you said, using the yellow clock and it worked. Thanks again to you and chartie.
spread trade would be easy simply make a portfolio with long one contract of X and short one contract of Y plot the difference... i already do this. it is similar to how i plot PREM (IB does not have prem). i make a portfolio long futures, and short the cash. i plot the total, which = the premium you can plot any spread this way as well
Hi whitster, can you give me an example. How about futures vs futures??Possible. Eg NQvs YM Appreciate it.
