DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME & THE OMEGA SERVER
Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, October 25. In order to make sure that
your Omega Research Server time changes correctly, please perform the
following steps before trading commences on Sunday afternoon (for evening
futures sessions) or Monday morning (all other symbols):
1. Exit all Omega Research products, preferably before the time
change on Sunday morning at 2:00am Eastern (datafeed) Time.
2. Once the time changes, restart your Omega Research Data Server.
3. Check the datafeed date and time in the lower right hand corner
of the Server. It should read the correct datafeed time (Eastern Time) and
the offset should be GMT -300 min (Greenwich Mean Time minus 300 minutes).
If the time is correct, you may restart all your Omega Research products. If
the time is not correct, try exiting and once again restarting the Omega
Research Data Server. This should address any time change concerns.
Note to DBC Signal Users: If Steps 1-3 above did not correct the time, exit
your Omega Research Data Server for Signal, unplug the power to the Signal
box and then reconnect it. After the Signal box reads, "Ready to Load
Signal," start the Omega Research Data Server for Signal. Once the Server
has successfully initialized, the time should be correct.
Note to FutureSource Users: Depending on your time settings in the
FutureSource software, you may need to change the Chart Offset from Datafeed
Time in TradeStation. Click on TOOLS - OPTIONS - REALTIME tab. For the Chart
Offset, enter -5 hours (it should currently be -4) and click OK. This will
affect all your charts.
