interactive brokers gives me -1 in datafeed

#1
This usually happens at 5pm on the forex market everyday. It puts -1 as the value for open, high, low, close. I try to delete it in the quote editor, but it only works when I shutdown the plugin, but then it inputs the false value in as so as I reconnect.

In fact, everyday the data between 5pm and 5:15pm is missing. Once 5:15pm comes then the -1 values go away. Is this just something that people just accept and ignore? Or is there a solution?

Also, another problem is that the time value seems to be incorrect. When I hover the crosshairs over the bar (using 5 minute bars just for example, even though it happens on all time frames) the time says, "16:49:59" when it should read "16:45:00".

There has got to be a write up somewhere about this, I just can't get the keywords to find it. This also occurring in my google database. It's something like you have to edit some file to offset amibrokers time markers or something. Because Amibroker wants one time sequence, but google has a different one.

This happens everyday at 5pm? I understand that it's a volatile few minutes of everyday, but this is just unacceptable.

use your database settings to filter out those ticks.
