Thanks for replying me. During the past week, there was a difference between the U.S. and U.K. daylight. In the other platform I use, this difference (1 hour to be precise) is managed by the platform itself, so every new bar will be created one hour earlier than usual (U.K. time). So, just to be clear, the first bar of each week starts on Sunday at 22.00 U.K. time. During the past week though, the first bar of each week started at 21.00 U.K time. Supposing to trade on the 4hr chart, every 4 hr will be created a new bar; so 22.00 - 2.00 a.m. - 6.00 a.m. and so forth. During the past week, this process should have been started 1 hr earlier; so 21.00 - 1.00 a.m. - 5.00 a.m. and so forth through the whole week. On S.C. this was not possible because every bar was always been created at the same time, so from 22.00 on Sunday and so on. I tried to follow all the steps into your guide and set my time zone to New York instead of London but no differences have been done on the chart (and from your guide, you said that modifying the time zone to the desired one the problem should have been solved, which was not actually). Modifying the timezone, I supposed to see the time of N.Y. on the timescale of each chart and solved the daylight saving times differences through the week, which has no happened, continuing to saw the U.K. timescale. The unique solution I found in order to see the real open and close of each bar through the whole week, was modifying the "start time" and "end time" through the Chart settings, but this is not a solution to the problem. So my question is: I am missing some settings or is not possible solve the daylight switching "problem"? How do I do in order to see on the time scale the N.Y. time and "fix" the problem? Thanks, Fabio. |
