Hi Apprentice,
I'm not understanding the way time is calculated in TS V Marketscope.
Two things have me puzzled.
Firstly the changes I used in the post above only work in Marketscope to correctly set the time to count down for a new Daily candle appearing on the chart for the local machine reguardless of display time settings.
If you drag the same chart from Marketscope to TS the time to the end of the daily candle (Right Hand Clock) Changes from a count down to the next daily candle to a count down to 00.00 Server time again reguardless of local display time settings.
Can you explain how Marketscope and TS treat time differently and how to correctly work with time for time based Indicators / Strats. I assume that Strats use the time from Marketscope?
I'm also Not Understanding how the Time/Date is treated by Strats and Indicators in relation to Hourly and Daily Candles. A new Daily candle forms at 00.00 Server Time but the hourly candles Do not change to the new date until 9 hrs later.
How is this treated for example when using a MVA based on D1 as a filter for a Strat running on a H1 time frame using Local time? Does the Strat calculate start of the daily period correctly for Daily at Local time or is the Server time used as with the chart display?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Mark
