I have a strategy that I've applied to a daily chart that executes EOD. Unfortunately, in the case of this chart EOD = 23:59 and I'm an early to bed / early to rise kind of guy. I have tried several things to get the bars to close at 18:00 so I can backtest results with a more realistic execution time. No matter what I try, the chart still shows all bars closing at 23:59:
- 1. I created a custom template (see attachment) and applied it to the instrument. Didn't work.
2. I then went into QM for the symbol and applied my custom session as a Custom Session Template. Didn't work.
3. I even tried setting the instrument sessions setting to Regular Trading Hours and the daily bars still show closing at 23:59
I'm using IQFeed data, but obviously I am not clear about the interplay between the daily bar chart data and the sessions setting. If I change to 1440 minutes and apply my custom template it works.
Ideas?
