how does NT create bars? I seem to be having some issues that I can't make to seem any sense of. I uploaded 1 year worth of 1 min data following these directions:
Each bar must be on its own line and fields must be separated by semicolon (. Only 1 minute bars can be imported.
The format is:
yyyyMMdd HHmmss;open price;high price;low price;close price;volume
Sample data:
20061023 004400;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;86
20061023 004500;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;27
20061023 004600;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;24
20061023 004700;1377.50;1377.50;1377.25;1377.25;82
The close for 23:00 on an hourly chart should be 23:59? Right? That does not seem to be the case. Looking into it further, it seems 22:01 is the open for 23:00 bar and 23:00 minute is the close for 23:00 rather than 23:59. Does this seem right? When I imported the data I checked marked "end of bar timestamps"
I also tried with "begining of bar timestamps" and this makes my 23:00 open and close based on 22:00 open and close.. it's basically offset by one hour. What gives?
The data I am uploading should have 23:59 minute data as the close for 23:00. How can I do this? The hour template I am using is forex with UTC time zone matching my import
