    Great, thank you. 30M and 4H is what I need, but like I mentioned, it would be most helpful to have it totally customizable to any time frame you want.

    Just to give you an update on this requirements for me – I decided to export all data in GMT using Tickstory.
    Since I’m using my own strategy testing software that I developed, I just updated it to do the time shifting automatically for different time zones. So it’s not so important for me to have Tickstory handle eliminating Sunday bars or other kinds of time adjustments.

    I see your point about confusing people. I don’t mind if it still does the check for data on the server but as long as it’s super fast. It’s not a big deal if you’re exporting a few weeks of data. But when you’re exporting years of data, it becomes painfully slow to do, especially if you already have all the data stored locally.

    Great, I didn’t realize I could do that. So then I guess this feature is already implemented 🙂

    Thanks a lot for your helpful reply. I was referring to data gaps from the source (Dukascopy) and if there are any checks in Tickstory to make sure the data that’s imported doesn’t have any gaps.

    I’m a little confused, though, because you said: “at the moment it assumes that there are no gaps in the Dukascopy data between the first date that is available to the current day” and then “If there was any gap, you would receive an error message in the alert box” which seem like contradictory statements.

    So what exactly would happen if you downloaded data from Dukascopy with gaps and then tried to export. Did you mean that it would download the data without any warnings but then when you would export it, it would give you a warning? So that would mean there IS a gap checking mechanism during the data export phase? If that’s the case, then is it intelligent enough to know about days that the market is closed (e.g. Christmas, New Year) and not treat those as gap days?

    Thanks again for a great product.
