Problems with Interactive Brokers Forex data

Quote from AC3:

I customized my charts to eliminate the 15 minutes of down time. This gave me a clean chart with IB and if I went anywhere else I wouldn't miss much of anything. If that works for you that's my suggestion.

I'll use your approach and just relabel the bar.

I don't use charts at all. The data download goes directly into a neural network which automatically generates trades and applies them to TWS.

Some people find it exciting to watch the market but I prefer to ingore it and let the computer have all the excitement

because other people around the world generate an equal amount if not more in commission than people in the U.S. you America-centric redneck ;-) (I understand you live after all in the central time zone) Dont take it too serious, I am just half-serious, lol.

Quote from Jerry030:

That would explain it nicely since I'm Central and the gap at 16:00 is 5 PM Eastern every day. This is fine as I don't case about the market not trading just missing trades as it kills the pattern recognition in the models.

I wonder why they don't shut down at midnight or some time
before Asia opens when few would be interested in trading.

Thanks for the insight.
