Shift time (hours) @Data Center

#1 Postby virgo739 » Tue Apr 12, 2016 1:07 pm

Dear All :) ,

If I want to backtest a whole year do I always have to create 2 different projects (one backtesting the first and last months at GMT+1 and another one including the intermediate months at GMT+2 because of the start of the DST or Daylight Saving Time period?

Is there any other option so I can include everything in only 1 project and keep all my trades, account history data and market info together ?


Thanks

Best regards,

Hello,

Sorry, but you can't have different "Shift time" parameter in one project so you need to have two projects and change the time zone before testing a new project in the program.
So the first project will be with GMT+1 and the second with GMT+2.

Also we can recommend you to install the second instance of the program into another folder.
In this case you can test the first project in the first version and second project in the second version and you will not need to change the time zone before switching the projects.
