trading the CSI FOREX data

Post by michaelt »

My apologies if this topic has been covered.

Does anyone use the CSI FOREX data in their trading? According to CSI ( link below is their web site) the CSI FOREX data OPEN is between 0 and 30 minutes after the CLOSE.

Those open-close times affect data collection, running the trading systems, order generation & submission apart from the other markets.

Anyone dealing with this, trading based on the CSI FOREX files?

Can anyone suggest an alternative to the CSI FOREX data for use in systems trading, where the hours are delineated differently, maybe time zone options are available? (such as Far East Open, NY Close).
