This would indicate an issue with the logic in the script and not with the time zone, as the behavior can be reproduced using Eastern time. Thank you for confirming you have deleted all historical data, and that the behavior persists when using Eastern time with newly downloaded historical data. How do I begin to even troubleshoot this issue? I am getting thrown off that offset from UTC and wondering in NT caches historical data differently and doesn't use UTC offset. Rather checks if CurrentTime > StrategySessionStart. The strategy doesn't have any hard coded timezone logic. NT8/Computer in UTC, real-time trading starting 13:30 (09:30am) matches Strategy Analyzer results only if the backtest start time is set to 09:30EST not 13:30 UTC. Changing NT/Computer clock to UTC, but setting trading session in backtest to EST produces also consistent results from line above and real-time.

Changing NT/Computer clock back to EST and picking a non-midnight time segment produces consistent results between live/real-time trades. It is as-if NT calculates the UTC and EST differently in real-time vs historical data. Using EST settings for the 8PM-9:30am produces the same results seen both in previous backtests and live tradings. When using UTC in Strategy Analyzer, setting the strategy start time/endtime to UTC produces very different results than all prior backtests for the same time period.

anyway, an easy workaround for me was to set the NT8 Clock to UTC and set the trading session start at 12:00AM, which is 8PM previous date. The coding aspect is very complex to check if target is reach in the current session only, not the previous day, which would defeat the purpose of daily target. In reality, it will take the profit target and after midnight, the daily profit target logic kicks in assuming a new day and trade again. For example, If I am running the same strategy for 12 tick target on /ES starting at 8PM, I expect it to stop trading if target is reached before 12:00am and until 9:30 (session end). In live trading, there an issue with date change around mid-night that causes the strategy to trade again even if daily profit target is reached, which is not my intent. In backtests, it works great and as expected. I ran into issues when the trading session is setup to be between 8PM and 9:30AM EST.

Hi, I have a custom code strategy that has such variables as trading sessions (Start/exit), trade profit target/loss, daily profit target/loss, and weekly profit target/loss.
