If i wanted to change the opening time for daily candles to be 0600 GMT, would I just change the time settings to GMT+6 hours?

Thanks

Hello,

Please set Time shift = -6 (not +6) to make the daily candles opening at 6:00 GMT

Hello,

Please try to set “Shift time” parameter to “-2” in Data Center, I think that it will solve your issue.

I’m not 100% sure but here are my calculations:
All our data are in GMT so daily candles close at 0:00 GMT.
5 PM EST is equal to 10 PM GMT so you have to shift time in the program for minus 2 hours.

If you see Sunday bars after you shift data then clear old data and re-import again with "Ignore weekends" option

Let us know if you still have problems with that

Hi ya FT Support..

Thanks so much for getting back to me on this Smile

I was wondering how would I go about clearing the old data completely before I import the new data again?

Cheers,
Adrian

Just select the currency in Data Center and use "Clear" button
