4hr candle start times

What is the most commonly used start time for the 4hr chart.

is it 00:00 gmt or end of session NewYork 5pm est (which is 22:00 GMT), or neither?

Many thanks in advance.

WTH....Is that really matter?

Not always but sometimes, it can give mixed signals reading the candles.

I think it's London Open.

No, no, no it is New York close at 5 pm

Many articles around about that, most traders prefer it, give 5 equal day candles, doesn't have that short extra Sunday candle which throws of most Indicators calculations

YMMV

If you think it makes a technical difference that will affect your results...it won't.

Remember the markets are chaotic, it's the average probability over many events that make a trader profitable.

To put it in perspective, when gold dropped hard from the weekly s/r (price level) last friday it would of been the same price on everyone's platform regardless of what time their h4, daily or any other bar started or finished.

Price will always be the only truth in the markets (you could argue fundi's too but not really for intraday)

I'll have to agree with 60minuteman. In the big picture it won't make a difference. You'll miss some signals, you'll gain some signals. Some will be winners, some will be losers.
