Close values of different timeframes on Metatrader

New comment
 

Hello!

I was analyzing the chart of EURUSD of the last friday 26th of september 2014 and I have seen different values for the close of the bar at 17:30.

These are the values:

30 min timeframe: 1.26956

15 min time frame: 1.26892

5 min time frame:1.26872

It seems that there is a time shift among the different timeframes.

best regards

Did you check the bars that terminates at 17:30 ? If yes which broker/server.

Yes, all the bars that I've checked terminates at 17:30, the broker is Alpari.

than you very much for the answer, so the problem could be on the broker side. I supposed that the broker send all the data and the application is in chrge to group them in the selected time frame. 
 
Please, specify how did you get these values exactly?
 

I can confirm the close values looking at the data window in the terminal...

but what you do see are

on M5 the bar 17:30 till 17:34:59

on M15 the bar 17:30 till 17:44:59

on M30 the bar 17:30 till 17:59:59

so the opening times are all from 17:30, but the close times are from the end of the bar time.

There is only an M1 bar terminating at 17:30:59...

so one would have to look at

M5 bar at 17:25

M15 Bar at 17:15

M30 Bar at 17:00

to get hopefully ;) identical close value of the last tick before 17:30.

 To say in other words a bar at a give time in the data window starts at that time.
