Hello,
I trade equities on Tradestation and have been looking at their forex charts. The days always start and end at 5 pm eastern. That makes since because Forex closes on Friday at that time and open back up Sunday at that time.
I downloaded Oanda because it seems people here like it. After not being able to figure out why their daily chart candelsticks don't look like the ones on Tradestation, it appears their days run from 12 pm to 12 pm Eastern. I guess that makes sense too because that's when another day really starts.
Is their an industry standard here or does every forex charting package start their day when they feel like it?
It wouldn't matter except I swing trade off daily charts and I'm looking for some consistency here.
Thanks!
