Hi everyone,
I don't know how to synchronize time in historical tester to EET time zone. I tried to do this in a different ways, but nothing works:
1) get a bars with filter weekend
2) change settings platform tester.setDataInterval() in code
3) stop print data in console when context time is lower bar time --> if ( d.getDay() > e.getDay()) { return; } else { /* do sth */ }
and other what you see in code below
Always I get data from UTC time zone. Even when I change UTC to EET in platform time zone and chart settings it does not solve the problem.
I want to use EET time zone in historical tester but I don't know how...
Those picture shows testing results my strategy code in UTC and EET time zone and it's no difference between this settings, because I get always data in UTC time zone.
This is UTC time zone in platform and chart settings
This is EET time zone in platform and chart settings

=====================
So, the problem is - how to set default time zone and start day time UTC to other time zone like EET. I get always only UTC data in historical tester. Maybe I'm doing something wrong... How to set default time zone in historical tester ?
Regards.
