Chart time display

[cliftoneparker]

Sometimes when I open a 30 min chart the bars end at 12:00 and 12:30, sometimes it is 12:15 and 12:45. How do you make it choose how it selects the bar end time?
Thanks

Hello cliftoneparker,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The time stamp and times that display along the axis are determined by the Trading Hours template that is applied to the chart. If the Start Time of the session within the Trading Hours template is at 15 after, each candle would be time stamped in 30 minute interval starting at 15 after (8:15, 8:45, 9:15, etc.). If the Start Time of the session within Trading Hours template starts on the hour or at the half hour mark, then you would get time stamps that reflect that (8:30, 9:00, 9:30, etc.).
