Bar open times are changing retroactively

2023.07.20 22:00 is now 2023.07.20 22:01

2023.07.20 22:15 is now 2023.07.20 22:16 and so on

until 2023.07.20 23:46

That sounds irritating..

How could the time shift? And why?

I mean iTime. I record the open time but when I look at the chart they don't match.

can you be more specific with what you mean?

When a new bar opens, I record the output of

TimeToString(iTime(_Symbol,Timeframe,0),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES)

Edit: I got it. _Symbol is wrong. It should be specific.

Mods you can delete this thread.

I created it by mistake but either way I don't mind.

On second look it seems like Dominik Christian Egert unconsciously pointed me toward the solution, so credit to him.

Still up to you.

How were you getting those values though ? were you polling the last tick time ?(if it exists in mt4) 

The thread is not absurd though , i recall seeing weird open times in the past (not the immediate past , the past past) on a 3000 leverage broker or something .

Everything has been said. It's time to move on.

 

I thought the problem was gone now that I use the proper parameter but it's not.

The bar open time for GBPCAD recorded in my file is: 2023.07.31 04:00

but on the chart is: 2023.07.31 04:02

What is going on?
