Time Shifted in Export Intraday Data

07-22-2011, 11:05 AM

Hi, I tried to export intraday data of ES continuous contract into text file. I notice that the time stamp is shifted by 4 hours. I guess it has something to do with time zone.

What should I do to get the exported file to have the same time stamp as what appear in Historical data manager?

Hi Alvantage,

That's correct, all exported data in NT is sent with time stamps modified to use UTC time zone. Unfortunately there is no GUI control to change to a different time zone. If importing this data into another NT installation, you would keep Time zone of imported data as UTC.

More control on time zone used would have to be done through a custom script, writing OHLC data to a file.
