[amibroker] Re: When does the bar close?

["Barry Scarborough" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was having trouble getting IB and AB data in sync. One problem is 
getting the system clock on the same time as TWS. The other was to 
change the preferences as Bryan said. That seemed to help more than 
the system clock.
