Love it or hate it, I see that many brokers who were formerly UTC +1 (or less) are shifting to Eastern European time (UTC +2 or +3) in order to eliminate the Sunday bar.
Am I the only one who is sad that the Sunday bar is being slowly eliminated?
I don't know why but the quirky Sunday bar seemed to give my system a slight edge.
Sure you can code an indicator or EA to "simulate the Sunday bar back" but when a single backtest using tick data takes a few hours on my rusty old computer, more code is a bad thing (also maybe because I'm a noob programmer).
So I just wonder, is there a particular reason why a broker can only offer one time zone? Would a broker that offered the customer a choice of time zones be a good thing or bad thing (from their perspective)?
