Hi,
All symbol is NQZ current contract.

on 2 min time frame on Futures NQZ2025 Contract
When Market open at 6pm so in ETH when I am on 2 min chart. 2 min candle is closing on odd time not on even times.
after RTH open at 9:30AM open every two min is closing at even time.

Also, on 1 hour chart. I am seeing candles are closing at 15 min hourly time interval it. (6:15 to 7:15)
Also, at RTH 1 hour candles are closing ending with 30 min interval (10:30 to 11:30)
instead of exact time meaning 1:00 to 2:00 (meaning even time)
Indicators are working differently on different times for me.
Is there a solution for this issue ?
Please let me know.

This all depends on your Session Times, in particular the Start Time for the Evening Session.

For instance, if your Evening Session Starts at 18:01, then the first bar will be at 18:01 and the next 2 minute bar will start at 18:03, and so on.

market opens at 6:00PM everyday except Sunday. Is there a way I can change the session start time ?
