So it’s definitely the time setting… maybe daylight saving time? But I haven’t changed any of those settings. It’s still “PC… UTC+2.” What time do I have to set the US indices to now? What did PRT change?
Ive gotten my history back and started all my algos again, some are taking trades already..
Looks like things are working again?

Last night (13-10-2025) everything froze again in PRT. There were no price movements, and no positions were opened during the (gap) market opening — I missed more than 600 points as a result…
As a precaution, I manually closed my system, but to my surprise, the same system was closed twice. It looks like there are still some kind of “ghost” or duplicate systems running on the PRT servers…
On the IG website everything worked normally — prices started moving right after the opening…
I tried to compose something for you which may be helpful for further determination.
First off, whether all is stalled or not is quite difficult to see these (last) days, because the updating of the “Dagwinst” does not work any more over the weekend. Thus, this shows as 0,00 at the opening (at our 00:00) and it stay like that for several hours. Now, (~ 05:00) it works, but it will be reset at 06:00 (if all is right – it was like that each day last week and is new under the new “US Times” regime that IG now uses). The reset moment is not much related, but the frozen gain of 0,00 may feel like stalling.
On a side mote : the daily gain now this resets at 06:00 (am) which also means that people usually won’t see what happening for profit over night. Today this is “massive” (when you were Long) but now at 06:30 it’s all gone).
Then, in the first picture below you see NASDAQ 1€ with 1in the left an old screenshot from after close last Friday (23:00) and in the right of that picture you see the opening last night at 00:00. The pending order at 24.188,7 was obtained up to the decimal at 00:00:18. You can see this in the 2nd pic on the 2nd line. Thus spot on.
Although there was more to look at during the opening (other accounts) I did not notice any freezing in the IG account.
In the 3rd and 4th pic (they belong to each other) it goes different. This is US 500 (SPTRD) and the intended price of 6.549,02 turned out to be an Entry Price of 6.620,02. So a miss of 71 points which is a lot in this case (my math tells me EUR 3.408).
Regarding the time of Entry (00:00:33 – see in 2nd pic first line) I don’t deem this slippage, but something stalled indeed. Point in this situation for me would be : both systems are the very same and only act upon a different instrument. So if one can do it to the decimal, the other should not be late 71 points …
Also notice that the Entry was there the second bar (thus see 4th picture in the right) and thus during the first bar totally nothing happened – however the bar was there. Thus, no prices frozen (which, again, I also did not notice during that period of time), but instead the typical
behavior of IG turning manual (which they do at high volatility).
Any updates on migrating strategies back on Demo? I still have 100 algos missing, I would need to get back my history for.
Also Bitcoin 1E seem to be missing in demo, but available in the live account?
I don’t think anything’s happening here anymore. My demo account history is still missing. And because of the changed time of day and the changed H4 candles, there was never an official statement. Communication here is very, very limited.
My demo account history is still missing.
Are you saying that you have all Algos showing / back in your Account (Demo & Live) but some (all?) do not show history / performance from trades executed prior to about 1 to 2 weeks ago?
I still have 100 algos missing
Are you saying you have 100 Algos that have not appeared back in your Demo / Live Account after the recent problems, so 100 of your Algos have
vanished?
What I mean to say is that all the histories of the algos on the demo and live accounts that relate to US indices are missing. Yes.
Dax40 is completely there, I can’t say anything about the others. Do you have everything?
Where did you get that from? Why don’t I know about this?
You know about this because I already told about this a couple of days earlier than Oct. 9. You participated in the thread where this was explained to someone else. Unfortunately I can not find that thread any more.
Then in *this* thread (the one you are looking at right now) I told about by formal and direct contact with PRT in Paris, and I copied a similar text from the same person at PRT’s.
I did not tell about the quote from my last post, because people seem not interested in such texts (this includes you).
You may recall me telling about the sheer reason why IG applied this change ? this was about avoiding Daylight Savings differences between the USA and Europe.
Completely stupid if you ask me, but that is for another thread.
You may recall me telling about the reset time of IG now being 6am in the morning (our time) ? Maybe I dreamt that one or I only planned to mention that. 😉
Something else : the well meant advice of the person from PRT in the quote I gave you, is beyond me. I mean, I would not know how to deal with such a thing as “equaling” the former time difference of 5 hours or whatever it was when (incorporate Daylight Savings), but the quote also suggests this is not possible. Fact is : the deed is done and it won’t be reversed. My personal suggestion : IG is crazy. Not figurative, they just are for real.
I remember your explanations back then… but not the wording of the quoted message. Everything’s fine. Changing the time zone would change all other time-based settings within an algorithm. So 3:00 PM would no longer be 3:00 PM but 9:00 AM… if we’re now starting from NY. So that’s out of the question and is nonsense. Building a 4-hour candle yourself?? Why? Why not use the values from IG? Why can’t PRT do it? As I said before, if you use the IG app or the IG charts itself, everything is exactly as it should be, or as it was before. But PRT can’t seem to get that right. For whatever reason. I, for one, have converted my corresponding algorithms to H1 to get around the problem. I use PRT’s date line, even though 6:00 AM is completely wrong, but I’ve come to terms with it for now. However, I still think PRT’s ability to communicate is absolutely crap. This is much more customer-friendly.
