I have a rather basic question but just want to clarify.
I'm successfully paper trading futures after hours in my live algorithm, but the chart only seems to update during normal hours. (Image attached). In the image we have open holdings in the full time frame but it only updates from 8-4.
This is the standard Strategy Equity plot that is generated by QC. No custom plots.
So I know it's not our subscription to the equity (as our trade log shows trade at midnight and 4am), but is there some other line in the code that I need to have for the plot to update during after hours? Seems odd as this is just a value of equity and the prices are still streaming in…
Thanks in advance

Hi Echoes
The chart will not log per some preset time interval, but every data point it received. It might be more likely that your code isn't doing what you desired. Please attach a backtest/code snippets for further assistance.
