How to set the time zones & trading hours of financial charts – Time zones and trading hours can be customized form the “Options” / “Platform options” / “Time zones and trading hours” menu. Time zones can be the same for all charts or customized market by market.
Hi Nicolas,
What happens if I want to trade two different strategies on the same instrument: one strategy uses all available intra-day (in my case 1h) bars, and the other only uses bars from 8:00 to 22:00 CET. I know how to change the trading hours settings in the Options menu of PRT – I have to switch it back and forth to work on the two strategies, which is OK for developing / testing the strategies. However, I don’t know what happens in live trading… Hence, my question: What happens if I launch both strategies in live trading (both with a different setting of the trading hours at the time of launching). Does PRT “remember” these (different) settings, or does it always use the current setting of my platform for all live strategies? In the latter case, I cannot trade these two strategies on the same platform, I am afraid?
Do you have an answer / advice regarding this issue?
Many thanks in advance!
When you launch a strategy it will uses your defined custom hours. You can retrieve this information for each code running in the ProOrder window.
Great! Thanks Nicolas!
So, this means, once a strategy is launched in live trading, I can change the time zone / trading hours setting in the Options menu of my PRT platform and this will NOT affect the running system. Correct?
That’s right. Once the program is launched in the trading server, nothing will affect the way you have set the timezone.
