TRO - Awesome Job on that fix!
(Now I have to double check your time since AZ isn't on daylight savings!
I was using 15:58 EST from a previous post...)??
In any case I'm doing alot of testing with this and CandleColor.

Thanks again.

zeller, I believe eSignal uses proprietary data feeds for a number of FX contributors, and since the spreads and quotes are different from one broker to the next, customers of eSignal have the option of viewing their broker price directly into the program. In this case, TRO is checking the prices from FXCM, someone else may elect to use GAIN, or CSM, etc. if you don't have a defined broker in your symbol, then eSignal will give you the GLOBEX feed, which often times is not what is quoted by your broker...

thanks Russ,
I'm also seeing some info on cash market for forex - kinda like the difference between $RUT and AB #F for the Russell??...

AB #F is the Russell eMini futures contracts (which, thanks for reminding me that we have a triple witching Friday) and $RUT is the actual Russell 2000 index (obviously, value provided by eSignal for the index does not reflect the value of the futures contracts in overnight trading i.e. ~787.40 vs. 783.61)

They are different feeds.

The TDFX is the EFX feed.

It wasn't a "fix".

I modified the code to use the user input time rather than the time template.

TRO,
You're absolutely right, thanks for modifying the code. It works great for different start times for the forex markets now. I still use the standard "tradezones.efs" for the AB. I appreciate your help.
