Post From: SC bar time does not match ATP?

After researching your links, I now understand that SC uses the starting time for their chart bars (with 0:59 seconds as their ending time) in lieu of an ending time at the top of the hour (0:60 seconds) like ATP resulting in a one minute discrepancy on all SC historical chart bar times when compared to the real time it actually ocurred. In other words, when I see the 10:01 chart bar in historical data, it is actually the 10:02 chart bar when comparing with ATP. As of now, I can't seem to find a way to change the SC starting time of the chart bar to the industry standard, ending time of the chart bar (at the top of the hour), whereby the minute advances subsequent to 60 seconds elapsing. If it's there, my apologies in advance. Question: is there a way to change the SC chart bar time to the ending time, at the top of the hour, so each SC historical chart bar will display the correct real time it actually ocurred? As to whether it's a problem or not that's subjective. From my point of view, I want to make sure that when I'm performing analysis on SPY using the 10:01 chart bar, on ATP or other charting services, that I can refer to the 10:01 chart bar on SC and feel confident that it's the correct chart bar. Currently, I'm having to add one minute to all SC historical chart bar times to ensure I'm referring to the correct chart bars when compared to ATP and the actual real time the chart bar ocurred. Referring to the wrong chart bar, which would happen if I matched the chart bar times on each service, would result in incorrect analysis and significant losses. |
