Express - Adjust Luxemburg time to US time
Posted: 13 Feb 2013 16:13
Dear Traders,
The attached indicator allows you to adjust Continental European time (CET) to US Eastern time (EST).
Suppose you would like to back test a trading system applied on any instrument during the first hour of the US equity markets ... that is from 15.30 to 16.30? Not exactly!
In fact for three weeks per year the difference between CET and EST is five hours instead of 6 hours.
When you back test the behavior of any instruments traded during US hours it is better to adjust our European time to reflect the difference between CET and EST times.
The indicator was last updated as at 31/12/12. For 2013 onwards it would be necesary to complete the codes with the dates of the next periods when EST time will differ from CET time by only 5 hours.
How to do it?
Upload the express indicator in the Express folder*, refresh the workspace bar.
* Depending on your version of Windows, the Express folder is located at:
My Documents\WHS FutureStation Nano\Express
or
C:\Program Files\Fipertec\WHS FutureStation Nano\Express
Best regards
