Hi

I am in Australia and trade FX (24 Hour market).

I am trying to detect when the session changes to calculate pivots. To do this I use SessionFirstBarTime which works well during normal trading. However when I backtest I need to take into account changes in Day Light Saving against the exchange time. Is there a way to detect what session a particular bar is in?

Thanks,

Daniel

Dear Daniel,

Please use sessionstartday, sessionstarttime, sessionendday and sessionendtime keywords. You may find the description in the help.

Thanks.

How do I find what my session number is during back testing?
