What determines bar index 0's wall-clock timestamp for an intraday chart? Is it the first .scid record, the start of the first session of a configurable date, or something else?
Bar indices within the Sierra Chart software are determined from the chart itself. The first bar loaded in the chart has an index of 0. Given the above, you would need to save the time of the bar and line that up with the timestamp of the trade from the .scid file. You can not use the Indices.
