Hello.

My strategy has the following code:

public void onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) throws JFException {
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

String currentTime = sdf.format(tick.getTime());

Date currentTickTime = new Date(tick.getTime());


Calendar calCurrentTick = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
calCurrentTick.setTime(currentTickTime);
int yearTick = calCurrentTick.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int monthTick = calCurrentTick.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int dayTick = calCurrentTick.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int hourTick = calCurrentTick.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minuteTick = calCurrentTick.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int secondTick = calCurrentTick.get(Calendar.SECOND);

Calendar calClosestTime = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
Date d = GetClosestNextDate(tick);
//print(d);
calClosestTime.setTime(d);
int yearClosest = calClosestTime.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int monthClosest = calClosestTime.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int dayClosest = calClosestTime.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int hourClosest = calClosestTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minuteClosest = calClosestTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int second = calClosestTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);

print("hour tick: " + Integer.toString(hourTick) + " : minute tick " + Integer.toString( minuteTick) + " secondTick=" + second );

}
The print function is declared like this:
private void print(Object o){
console.getOut().println(o);
}

Then I downloaded tick data for 2014 and for strange reason I have the following output:
2014-01-22 00:38:22 hour tick: 2 : minute tick 0 secondTick=22
2014-01-22 00:38:22 hour tick: 2 : minute tick 0 secondTick=21
2014-01-22 00:38:22 hour tick: 2 : minute tick 0 secondTick=21
2014-01-22 00:38:22 hour tick: 2 : minute tick 0 secondTick=21

I don't know why hour is shifter in two hours. Do you have any ideas why hour is shifted in two hours? I'm especially shocked because yesterday represented code worked fine.

but the biggest surprise is after restarting application the problem was solved and output is the following:

2014-01-22 00:43:43 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=43
2014-01-22 00:43:43 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=42
2014-01-22 00:43:40 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=40
2014-01-22 00:43:40 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=40
2014-01-22 00:43:40 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=40
2014-01-22 00:43:40 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=40
2014-01-22 00:43:40 hour tick: 0 : minute tick 0 secondTick=39

Does anybody can explain me why this happens, and how can I avoid such surprises during trading alive?

Greetings.
