forex daily candle start

[tbonz]

New to esignal. I have noticed that the new daily candle starts at 5pm est but the 4 hour is still on the 16:00 candle at that time. The 00:00 4 hr candle begins at 12:am. I find this a little bit of a problem when trying to trade price action on the daily chart. Can anyone offer any reason for this discrepency?

Try creating a Time Template for the intraday data that is set to Start/End at 17:00. The screenshot enclosed below shows the result using 60 and 240 minute intervals
For information on Time Templates and instructions on how to use them see this article in the eSignal KnowledgeBase
