Time stamps in queues and returned from Open, Entry,closed Tables - DailyFX Forex Forum

I'm a bit confused:

ONE::

The manual tells me that the times from stats history function return UTC. They don't currently they return to me UTC-5hrs for both demo and real accounts. The function I talk about is:

histData = (FXCore.MarketRateEnumAuttopTree.Ts.OTradeDesk.Get PriceHistory
(myInstrument.CurrencySlashPair, thisTimeStat, dtStart, dtEnd, 300, true, true);

Q: What is the historical stats function in Order2go supposed to return and if it's US time when we flip from EST to EDT does this affect the time stamps?

TWO::

When using the following function to return the time from the Open table, Closed Table and Entry Orders Table I get some suprising results.

For Orders:
DateTime thisDateTime = (DateTime)orders.CellValue(r, "Time");

For example, my localtime (UK), is 17:05. UTC is 16:05. But the above function returns 20:05?

Any advice welcome??

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks

Regarding point one:
Please use GetPriceHistoryUTC. The regular version returns dates and times in the server's timezone (this is backward compatibility issues).
Regarding point two:
Hm... Could you please write what database are you connecting to? You can see the database name in the trading station status bar, in 5th pane, right after the "lock" icon. It will be something like "Demo: U100D1". And... please check whether you use the latest version of order2go.

Thanks for point ONE:: - I will implement the change.

On point TWO:: I have the latest development release of Order2go on a web server in the States. The database I am connecting to is: MICRODEMO01. Incidently the FXTrade station times are correctly shown as UTC time - of course.

The times in trade station are shown military: 16:19 for the two entry orders in play and in my application Forex System Trader :: Account Status :: 8/13/2009 - select entry orders from the main menu you will see 8.19P.M. This is achieved through displaying thisDateTime from

DateTime thisDateTime = (DateTime)orders.CellValue(r, "Time");

If I log on to the same account through a local web server (UK), I see the same result 20.19 (8.19P.M.).

Thank you for the information. I can see your problem, the server returns the incorrect timezone. I'll contact the support and will ask to fix it.
