7h Timeframe

Bug Reports

Hello, I am requesting an option to customize the candle open anchor times for custom timeframes to match TradingView. Specifically, on a 7-hour timeframe for index futures, I need the candles to open exactly at 1:00, 8:00, 15:00, and 18:00. Right now, changing the global time zone shifts all other charts (1H, 4H, Daily), which ruins my analysis. This 7h timeframe is crucial for me as my entire trading strategy is based on it. Please implement an option to set custom session boundaries or anchor times for individual timeframes. Thank you.

How does this impact your experience?

    Hello @Bu Yashaka . Thanks for the feedback. If possible, please send a screenshot from FTO and TradingView so we can can see what’s the difference and adjust the charts accordingly in FTO. Thank you.

      Hi, I’m sending two videos showing the 7H timeframe on indices. On TradingView, the candle hours always repeat at the exact same times every day (1:00, 8:00, 15:00, 18:00), but in Forex Tester they keep shifting and changing daily. Check the videos and let me know how we can fix this. Thanks!

              The issue has already been fixed, but it is currently in the testing stage. It should be included in the beta environment next week and then in a future release.

              If you want to join the Beta, let us know, and we will send you the instructions

              As for a separate setting to define a custom start time for each timeframe ,

              this option is not available yet, but it may be added in one of the upcoming releases.
