Opening time mismatch in 4hr and 1 hr candle.

Feature Request

The opening time of 4 hr candle is does not corelate with 1 hr candle. Lest suppose a 4 hr candle opens at 17:00 EST and Closes at 21:00 EST, then 1 hr should show the Opening price at 17:00 EST instead of 18:00 EST.
Because of this issues it becomes difficult to adjust session indicator.

    Hello @User . Do you want to perform backteting in New York time zone? In this case please create a new project in UTC-5 time zone and then select “US DST“ option, I hope this will help to fix the issue with candles on H1 and H4 timeframes.

      The solution you provided is not working, when I set time zone to -5, then the 4 hr candle which should open at 17:00, is now opening at 16:00 and 1 hr chart shows that its opening at 17:00. So basically when I place cursor on any 4hr candle, the 1 hr chart should also show the same time, but its not the case here.

        Hi @User , thanks for providing the screenshot and additional details.

        Could you please try clearing your browser's cache and data for our website? After that, please log out and log back in, then create a new project.

        This should reset the settings and ensure the candle start times on the 4-hour and 1-hour charts are correctly aligned. Let me know if that resolves the issue for you.

          Hi, I have applied all the solutions, but it is not a data or cookie issue. You can check it in your own chart. 4 hr opening candle time is not same to 1 hr chart. Kindly Fix IT.
          CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE AN IMAGE WHERE 4HR OPENING IS SAME AS OF 1 HR OPENING.

            Hello @User! Thank you for the update.

            Here's a screenshot showing the 1-hour and 4-hour charts from our end, where the candle times align correctly.

            But sometimes this problem happens and our developers will fix this problem soon. It will be approximately next week.
            We appreciate your patience.
