Why the 1 minute Difference?

[trend26]

Hello,

Does anybody know why NT has a 1 minute difference between the chart time and the execution time? For example, if I buy an ES contract at 4596.25 at 0935 (the time on the chart) it will be entered into my Executions as executed at 0934, which is the actual real time. Also, there is this same 1 minute disparity between a second chart and a 1 minute chart on the ES. Does anybody know why NT does this? I would think real time is real time, and all transactions should always be in real time, it doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks,
trend26

Hello trend26,

Thank you very much for your post.

If you always experience a one-minute delay, regardless of the chart's settings, please ensure your PC's clock is synchronized. An offset clock can cause a discrepancy in displayed times

You can find the option to sync your PC's clock by right-clicking on the current time within your Notification Area.

Please select "Adjust date/time" and click on "Sync now".

Please also note that NinjaTrader charts candles at the candle's close. This means the "0935" candle would include all trades placed between 09:34:01 and 09:35:00.

Please don't hesitate to let me know, should you have any further questions!
