Hello,

I used Visual JForex to create a strategy which calculates with OHLC of 4H candles.

If I backtest the strategy with the JForex platform, it uses OHLC of 4H candles created by GMT time.
If i set my chart preferences day start time in JForex to EET (UTC + 2), the chart prints 4H candles of EET time. But the backtest still calculates with OHLC of 4H candles created by GMT time.

Is there a solution to tell my strategy to calculate with OHLC of 4H candles created by EET time?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

You can create custom period based on your TimeZone and subscribe to it's feed.

    public void onStart(IContext context) throws JFException {
        this.console = context.getConsole();
        this.history = context.getHistory();
        this.context = context;

        Instrument instrument = Instrument.EURUSD;
        OfferSide offerSide = OfferSide.BID;
        Period myPeriod = Period.createCustomPeriod(Unit.Hour, 4, JFTimeZone.EET);
        IFeedListener myFeedListener = new IFeedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFeedData(IFeedDescriptor feedDescriptor, ITimedData feedData) {
                //your onBar logic
            }
        };
        IFeedDescriptor feedDescriptor = new TimePeriodAggregationFeedDescriptor(instrument, myPeriod, offerSide, Filter.WEEKENDS);

        context.subscribeToFeed(feedDescriptor, myFeedListener);

        IBar myBar = history.getBar(instrument, myPeriod, offerSide, 0);
        console.getOut().println(myBar);
    }
