Hi,

When Zorro pre-downloads LookBack price history from an MT4 broker in [Trade] mode, bars on Sunday start from 22:00 (18:00 ET)
- which seems to be the default StartWeek setting, regardless of the actual StartWeek set in a script (e.g.72100).

Can this be MT4-related or is it a bug?

This might be unrelated to StartWeek setting.

Still, how to make Zorro download prices from the actual start of the week?

JCL,

I would really, really appreciate your answer.

I am getting footballed by support, pretending they do not understand the issue.

Admittedly, support sometimes tends to funny responses. They thought that you expected StartWeek to open the world markets one hour earlier.

But what exactly is the problem? That the weekend lasts longer than until 21:00, or does the history have gaps?

Haliluyah!

I refer to the following behaviour :

1) When Zorro pre-downloaded LookBack price history from an MT4 broker in [Trade] mode,
2) bars on Sunday got downloaded starting from 22:00UTC (18:00 ET) (for this past Sunday)

i.e. one full hour of price action is missed.

Is this MT4's or Zorro's problem?

Probably neither. When to provide historical prices is the decision of the broker or the exchange. Even Zorro cannot download prices that are not there.

Indeed :-(
I re-tested with a different MT4 broker and can see that all prices downloaded as they should; while prices from my broker continue to be a problem.
