Downloading XAUUSD hist. data with actual trading hours.

Post by koza6488 »

I would like to download XAUUSD historical data with trading hours starting with 01:00 each day. When I backtest H4 timeframe data starting with 00:00 and going on as 04:00, 08:00, there will be huge difference between the simulation done with my brokers (Darwinex) data (starting with 01:00 and going on as 05:00, 09:00) and the Dukascopy data.

Is there any way to download the data accordingly.

Regards

Hi Halim,

If there is a particular time-zone you wish to work in, then select this from the "Timezone" selection box. If you are wanting some arbitrary time, then the best way to approach this is make sure your EA can calculate an offset from GMT.

Hope this helps.
