S&P Index does not start trading until 10:30

Hi,

I use IQFeed and have subscribed to the CBOE S&P 500 real time Index Data. However, for whatever reason, and despite me trying out different session times, the S&P Index does not start trading until 10:30 EST.

Can someone provide me the settings that I can use to begin the data feed at 9:30 AM? Perhaps I imported to symbol with the wrong settings?

Many thanks...this issue is perplexing me.

Thank you!

What is your computer time?

CBOE is in Chicago.

S&P starts trading at 8:30 am Chicago time (CT), which coincides with New York 9:30 am (ET).

ie you have to set the instrument's session time to 0830, not 0930.
