Post From: custom candle start time for daily and higher TF

Hi i have been working for weeks on how to create the custom candle start time for candles from >4h. i have received a lot of reading material from you and i have done a good job with it. I may not have read all the information yet, but so far after weeks of work the following problem has remained. i have >30 charts in the chartbook. There are 3 different candle start times from 4h< for Forex, US Indices and Crypto. I trade large timeframes > 15min. I now always have to leave the intraday charts on for all of them (and not the historical >daily if I want to have the larger timeframes displayed correctly (as with most). This is not a solution. My PC is only working with the 30 charts when I change the timeframes, because I have to leave at least 100 days “days to load” on. I am a big fan of Sierrachart and I have already programmed many things. But this little issue is a nogo in my application.
Isn't there possibly a short solution you can give me in my case that I haven't seen yet?
I must say that after 4 years of intensive programming and working with Sierrachart, I am leaning towards switching to tradingview, and only because of the candle start time for higher time levels that can only be displayed with the intraday chart. (My time zone 0:00 as a daily bar with the historical is simply not good)
If you do have a solution for me, or if it is also important for you, please give me a hint.

the point is this. i started with tradingview and then only used sierrachart as a big fan. This issue with the candle start time runs automatically with tradingview and they also do a lot of other good advertising. Don't get me wrong. Sierrachart is simply a higher class and can do so much more and I think it is a pity that you are not working on the candle start time issue for higher time levels. Maybe I can look forward to a solution after all. I would like to stay with you

Many thanks
