Hi Kirbiz,

Thanks for raising this. There may have been a historical reason for doing this so we will need to review before changing it to zero hours. Does this interfere with your back-tests at all? I would imagine that this shouldn't be an issue unless your EA is sensitive to the time-stamp on the monthly bar.

Thanks again.

Hi
Comparing intrabar values - it looks ok. But definitly monthly bar should start at 00:00
