Globex or pit close charts.

just21 · Jun 10, 2015

Settlement is at 2pm cst, globex close at 4pm cst. The settlement time will not change after the pits close on July 2nd so the problem will always exist. Look at the sell-off in bonds since the shooting star on 29th of May. Anyone using the settlement prices to form their charts missed it.

Both, keep two sets of charts, RTH/Cash and 24hour.

Sometimes one hemisphere is playing a structure, other times, the other.

Additionally, speaking for XENITH (Realtime data) you can certainly change the data field to report the "Last" instead of the "Settle" price.

How do you do this?

The 2:00 pm hourly close was 149-24, and the 4:00 pm hourly close was 149-23. The 2:00 pm hourly low was 149-18 and the 4:00 pm hourly low was 149-17. The 2:00 pm hourly high was 149-29 and the 4:00 pm hourly high was 149-23. I have both CSI data and eSignal data, and I cannot see how the time frames in question would have spawned the daily formation you mentioned. Maybe I should brush up on my candlesticks.

The settlement, at 2pm, on the 29th may for us u5 was 155 20. The globex close two hours later was 149 31. That changed the daily chart from a continuation pattern to a bearish shooting star. Sep bonds are now 8 points lower.

On esignal, right click and select edit chart. Then untick use settlement for close. You can then see the correct chart pattern.

The symbol on CSI is ZB for globex. US for regular trading hours.

Sorry didn't see this reply right away, but if you are using MetaStock charts with XENITH data, you right-click on the background of the chart and choose "Change Field". You will see things like, Bid, Ask, Trade Price (which I believe is reporting the Settle) and Last.

In an actual XENITH / Eikon chart, you should see "Trade Price" in the upper left Legend of the chart. You can click on this and choose "Last Trade Price" instead which should be the Last/Close vs. the Settle.
