Is it possible to change the start day of week of custom symbol (MT5)?

[mt4x2025]

I know for the normal symbol, the time and day settings are broker/server related and cannot be changed, but what about custom symbols? I already tried CustomSymbolSetSessionTrade and CustomSymbolSetSessionQuote, but not working.

Simply apply a different time-zone and/or time/date shift to the data you add to your Custom Symbol.

How can I do that?

I created the custom symbol, using code, from a CSV file btw.

Then if you are using code (and not MetaTrader's import dialogue box), simply apply a time shift to the input from the CSV, before adding/updating/replacing the rates data.

My data starts on Saturday and ends on Wednesday, you mean I shift my data from Sunday to Thursday before reading them using mql? if yes, is there any way, so I can do that in mql?

Do you know how to code in MQL? I ask without disrespect because it seems you do not.

If you do, when you read the the datetime from the CSV, all you do is add 86400 seconds (24 hours) to it, before adding the rates data to your symbol.

I had already tried the same thing using the CustomRatesReplace function (before posting my question here), but it wasn't successful. The solution you suggested was much easier. I tried it, and it solved the problem. Thanks!
