Post From: New Daily Bar Issue - CQG Symbol Setting?

When After Hours & Sunday session opens ALL futures contracts get a 30 sec daily bar then another candle starts. All calculations based on the previous daily bar are then figured on a 30 second candle range. If I 'Reload and Recalculate' the daily chart it refreshes and consolidates into a single daily bar (see attached screenshots).

This has been a nagging pain for a long time and I noticed that ALL CQG futures symbols have "New Daily Bar Start Time" set to 18:00:30 EST. Is there a reason for this 30 second setting? Every futures symbol has this time set so it's not just one. What is the easiest, fastest way to correct them all?

Also I talked with CQG support, he looked through their API and doesn't see the data "New Daily Bar Start Time 18:00:30" coming from them (or any time field with 18:00:30 sec)

Thanks
