I have downloaded a few days of 5min history with Dynaloader. This 5min data gives me corret daily candles. Now I have been collecting 5min data during trading hours, but this data gives me a wrong opening on the daily chart, even though the data is complete and the 5min chart is correct. I've attached a PDF-file which shows the 5min and daily chart for Toyota (7203-TSE). Does somebody now what might be the issue? Thanks Marc

Rank: Newbie Groups: Registered, Registered Users Joined: 3/24/2005(UTC) Posts: 4		I have come a little closer to a solution: It seems to be problem related to markets that have lunchbreaks like Japan and Hong Kong. The candles are correct durring the AM-Session and on the next day. But they give me the opening of the PM-Session as Opening for the day as soon as the PM-Session starts. So my question now is how do I get MetaStock to take the AM-Session opening as opening price for the hole day. I will try the function "“Generate bars for intervals with no trades” in the Equis Real-time Configuration tonight and see if that helps. Has any one another solution?
