    Up until a few days ago I was using 'trades' for my data period in order to get extended hours charting, and it was working fine. Now it's cutting off after the regular session. I am checking on 'show irregular trades'. I know that time&sales also works, but the charts are funky.

    Does anyone have a secret to getting decent extended hours charting with Real Tick?

    Sorry mjt, I've never found a satisfactory solution. RealTick is just not a pre/post platform at this time. In addition to charts, in pre/post most everything else loses regular-session functionality as well. Until RealTick is improved, my solution is to use eSignal for pre/post charts and minders. eSignal transitions seamlessly from pre-market, to regular session, to post-market with no function loss or page configuration changes needed. For my trading in pre/post, RealTick is really only good for order-entry, news, and charting e-minis.

    Does anyone know how to change the default date in the chart setup? I can no longer get after hours charting the way I want it because the date for some reason is automatically set to the next day. Today (6/26) my date says 6/27. I'm getting a blank chart, and I can only get the chart I want if I manually change the date in all my charts, which I'm not planning on doing every day.

    All I want is for the chart to default to today's date, not tomorrow's.
