Custom 4h bar recreation for gold

Feature Request

The 4h candles in gold from march 2025 is printing wrong. I have already tired the NY time bar creation and UTC bar creation. None of them matches with the trading view chart. This is happening because from march 2025 the 4h candle started to close 1 hour later than their usual timing.

It is affecting my sessions. Please give a method for customizing the 4h bar closing

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi @Chetan Ranjan,

    At the moment, our platform only supports NY bars.

    The discrepancy you’re seeing comes from the fact that you were looking at Chicago bars, which follow a different closing schedule.

    That’s why the 4‑hour candles after March 2025 don’t match the TradingView chart.

      I understand. I didn’t knew about chicago bars and time but it is how I trade gold in CFD because the futures chart of gold matches that chicago closing timing.
      Can you add the Chicago bar recreation mode for gold? It would be really helpful, especially for 2025 backtesting

    Hi @Chetan Ranjan,

    I understand—thanks for explaining the issue so clearly.

    Could you please share:

    • A screenshot showing the mismatched 4h candles (ideally side by side with TradingView for comparison).

    • A link to your project so we can review the bar creation logic directly.
