Thank you for your reply Lester, I have actually tried a few changes such as what you suggested, as well as playing around with the time shift etc.
I was hoping someone could really explain how the settings work as I am unable to get it right. I thought that if you check "Use exchange time" then the time shift was ignored, and all tickers would show their daily bars based on exchange time, but apparently this is not so, as I am getting 2 bars the same when I download the data at certain times of the day for US stocks. Then I have this problem where I need to "force backfill" on all stocks so that there are not repeated bars throughout my data. This is very cumbersome, and means I am never 100% sure that my data is good, or that my scan is picking up the correct signals. I have read the knowledge base article (here : http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2006/03/19/how-does-the-daily-time- compression-work/), but I did not find that it helped me with my problem. I am trying to get my EOD database right first and then I will start on the intraday. I would appreciate any help in suggestions of how to organise it so all markets work at any time of the day. I have esignal RT data source, but can't find anywhere on esignal what time zone their server is, or whether they use the exchange time, but it was mentioned on this group somewhere that they use GMT, but not certain about that. Thanks in advance Sam
