I have read thomas book . Interesting…
He mentioned occasionally building specific time limit trading.
How can we limit that to asian session if we import data from tick downloader utc+00 remove weekends.
What would the hours be from .. To ?
And when we try it in metatrader shouldwe change something (the hours to the broker time to fix the limit or its donr automatically)

Thank you

You should be exporting the tick data in the ***same timezone that your broker is using***…. otherwise all the daily opens/closes highest/lowest in range and many more rules are ***invalid backtests*** when you move the EA to live trading.

Perfect thank you for the link .

So I downloaded it as UTC+00 and remove weekends .

 

Should I redownload them ? or keep the download and export in a different timeframe ?

Does Remove weekends in UTC affect the export ? It took hell of a time to download 🙁

No, just export in your broker time without weekends
