I posted this in http://forum.mql4.com/66883 but am not hope full of a great answer.
Here is what is going on..... I am a little confused and thought I understood some of this. These are my assumptions
Assumption one: The dealing desk / stp/ whom ever has about 2880 bars or some thing close to that and it is time stamped to dealing desk time.
Proof of concept : I came to this conclusion though Spot checking news. The Time Shifts
Assumption Two: If I down Load data from History center it looks like it is time stamped Moscow Time.
Proof of concept : I came to this conclusion though spot checking Non farm payroll Data.
Assumption Three: The Last Down load forward will be in dealing desk time. If I open the charts or call them
Assumption Four: Metaquotes data is not adj sting to day light savings
Proof of concept : Non Farm movements do not change time. Meaning the spikes on the chart
Assumption Five: Only The Source of The Non Farm data shifts to daylight savings time. To make it a local time stamp.
Side note: my Source to test the shifts in time was forex factories news feeds. These change to day light savings time
My Goal is to just get a better grasp on the difference of Time stamps . Can any one reference some articles or Tell me if the assumptions are correct. I would like to get my data on one time stamp and then a line it with the changes in HV caused by bank opens, Closes and news events.
