H4 Candles alignment
20 May 2014, 19:15


How can I determine the H4 candles alignment? For instance, if I am looking at the EST time (UTC+4), I would like them to be aligned to the midnight - but unfortunately they always seem to align to 1:00 instead. Is there any way to change that?

You can not change such alignment. We can only propose you to write custom indicator which will aggregate H4 bars from H1 bars using your alignment.

RE:

Then should this be at least consistent across cAlgo and cTrader? if I look at UTC+5, the first candle is at 2:00 on cTrader, and 3:00 on cAlgo.

Sorry - never mind, after further checks I verified it is consistent.
