Hello everyone,
Many of my strategies focus on certain hours of the day to trade, mostly london and new york open hours. Currently I use the following code to determine the hour of the day:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
calendar.setTimeInMillis(_signalBarTime);
_hours=calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
My question is, does the hours stay constant through history? Is it affected by daylight savings? For instance London opens at 08:00 UTC, if I use hour 8 throughout three years of testing will it always be London open or can it change because of certain factors?
I know this is a weird question but I need to be 100% sure that I am always trading at the hour that I need to trade at.
