Post subject:  How to get dailyBar in different time zones?
I am bothered about the different time zones,
the opening price and closing price of the K line are different,
because these basic data are not correct, resulting in very different results of the strategy operation



I learned from Wikipedia that all API data is based on the UTC time zone,

but the K line displayed by the platform is based on the UTC+2 time zone.

I would like to ask, how do I obtain the K line data shown in the figure???

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
 IBar preDailyBar;
        List<IBar> bars;
        
        if(Specperiod.equals(Period.DAILY))
        {
             long lastTickTime = history.getLastTick(SpecInstru).getTime();
            Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
            calendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+2"));
            calendar.setTimeInMillis(lastTickTime);
            calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, baseHour );
            calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
            calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
           long endDays = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
           long beforeDay= endDays -3*24*60*60*1000;
           bars = history.getBars(SpecInstru, Specperiod, OfferSide.ASK, Filter.WEEKENDS, 3, endDays, 0);
        }

Here best solution would be creation of custom period and make request for bar based on it.

        JFTimeZone myTimeZone = JFTimeZone.EET;//Here you specify your timeZone, for example - EET
        Period myPeriod = Period.createCustomPeriod(Unit.Day, 1, myTimeZone);
        IBar previousDailyBarBasedOnMyTimeZone = history.getBar(Curinstrument, myPeriod, OfferSide.ASK, 1);
        console.getOut().println(previousDailyBarBasedOnMyTimeZone);

*/
          JFTimeZone myTimeZone = JFTimeZone.EET;//Here you specify your timeZone, for example - EET
        Period myPeriod =   Period myPeriod = Period.createCustomPeriod(Unit.Minute,30, myTimeZone);( my want to   Period.THIRTY_MINS)
        dukCur_FiveSMA = myIdicator.sma(SpecInstru, myPeriod, OfferSide.ASK, AppliedPrice.CLOSE, 5, 0);



but show exception is:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: JFTimeZone is not appropriate for this unit. Received Unit = Minute, numOfUnits = 30, JFTimeZone = EET with standard offset -7200000(milliseconds) and daylight offset -10800000(milliseconds). Offsets cannot be other than 0 for periods with Unit smaller than Unit.Day.

why?
how to do?

Custom period creation with time zone different from UTC is supported only for Units greater than 1-hour. For smaller periods this is meaningless, since their filling will be same regardless of time zone.

In your example for the current 30-minutes candle you need just use Period.THIRTY_MINS instead of custom period.
