CSV Data File loaded with strange timezone offset
CSV Data File loaded with strange timezone offset
06 Sep 2014, 06:32
Hello,
I have loaded a CSV with minute data into cAlgo. It is happy with the data I have used and is able to run and make trades successfully. However, I am seeing strange timestamps in the trade history; the times appear to be 5 hours later than what is in the file.
While I am running this bot I have my cAlgo set to UTC+0 in the bottom right, to try and eliminate any timezone issues, but this still shows the History times to be 5 hours later. I had assumed that cAlgo would interpret the dates in the CSV file as UTC+0. Is this not correct?
To get the times in my CSV file to match with the times shown in the cAlgo History window I have to set my timezone to UTC+5 in cAlgo. Why is this? I am in Perth, which is UTC+8.
Thanks in advance for your help, Spotware.
Chris

RE: RE:
Take a look at logs in Backtesting tab. It should mention detected time zone. If the csv file was generated from UTC-5 time zone bars, than it should detect also UTC-5.
