Question about 1440 minute chart work around for daily chart

[erikp]

I'm trying to set up a daily chart using the 1440 minute work around with minute data from TradeStation. I'm stuck on a problem that I imagine is just a configuration issue, but I could use a bit of help getting pointed in the right direction.

The issue is simple: the dates of the "daily" bars appear incorrect. That is, for data that composes the daily bar for 6/26/09 the bar is labeled 6/27/09; the incorrect date appears both in the chart and in the Data Box. If I format the chart using a shorter time frame (e.g., 5 min) the dates of the bars for the day are labeled 6/26/09 as expected.

Is this just an artifact of using 1440 minute charts or is there a configuration issue that I'm overlooking?

Thanks,
Erik

Hello erikp,

Unfortunately, this is as expected.

NinjaTrader stamps a bar with the closing time. Please see the link below for more information.

Hi, Jason. Thanks for clearing that up (and for pointing me to the documentation; I somehow missed it).

Cheers,
Erik
