after having spendet an huge amount of time googling and viewing tradestations help video's i have not yet found a solution to my problem.
i built a small database by hand updating hourly data from oanda in an txt file as oanda doesnt have a quik and cheap way to acess their data but i cant seem to find a way to make tradestation parse this hourly data into higher timeframes (ie 3hour 4 hour etc) using the 00:00 hour bar as first bar of each timeframe.
it does parse automaticly but 12 hour bars keep giving me an start-point of 01:00 and 13:00 for example instet of 00:00 and 12:00
stuff i tried: custexch.txt file adjust time code, built bars on natural hours, built on exchange hours, played around with the attributes.ini file
basicly what i am trying to achieve is make all timeframes no matter what timeframe it is to start with the 00:00 hour bar (my time, that is gmt+1).
for example if i open a 12 hourly bar chart and its sunday has only 4 hours in it it should use these 4 hours to complete 1 bar untill its monday and this monday's 00:00 bar should be used as first bar of that day
i should perhaps notice i am GMT+1
does someone perhaps have an idea ?
EDIT: here a sample of the attributes.ini, custexch.txt and data file..
