Topic: CFD data bars import

Hello!

If, for example, session for CFD instrument begins at 9.00 am.
Is it right to import daily bars data in FSB with 00:00 time for the beginning of the bar?

Will MQL4/MQL5 code work with such time discrepancies for the beginning of CFD instrument session?
(It will probably try to open new position at 00:00 (if entry at the beginning of new bar), but new bar only begins at 9:00 a.m.)

Re: CFD data bars import

There is an indicator of 'entry time' that may help.

I am not so sure that FSB will open a bar if there is no bar to open.....  Did you try it?

Re: CFD data bars import

Thanks for advise!
I have only tried to import daily bars with 9.00 am timestamp. FSB cant read the file in this case.
After that I have changed timestamp to 00:00 and FSB successfully loaded daily bars.
Now I am unsure that generated strategies (on daily bars) will work in real life....
