I’ve recently opened a tradestation account, and I want to run an algo on it for the first time, for BTCUSD.
I am not familiar with the platform, but I know that with most FX brokers, I need to set up my backtest data to the right timezone.
So I’m asking people here:
What timezone do you use for your backtest data, if your broker is Tradestation?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
the rule for a chart displayed in TradeStation is that you can either use the local time (of the PC) or the exchange time which refers to exchange timezone for the market traded. So I guess you need to match the exchange zone for the BTCUSD market is the default value is ‘exchange’ timezone
