I was wondering how you are timestamping the daily data. lets say the contract in question opens at 6:00 p.m. and closes and 5:00 p.m. What is the time stamp of today? for the daily price bar. I would say 6:00 p.m. yesterday. time stamped on the open. when looking on the OEC Trader Developer chart when hovering over the last price bar it doesn't reflect that is is the date for today. I am just wondering how you are contructing the data? what time is your open and close and where do you put your timestamps?

Bar.Timestamp proprty holds an open UTC timestamp.
for example, ES daily bars would have be 3:30 pm CT of previous calendar day.

ES is a tricky example because of all the trading hour times listed by CME Group. I'd like to use another example of the Eurodollar Globex (GE) because it is open, for the most part, from 5pm until 4pm Chicago/US the next day.

Just to make sure I understand, are you saying the daily Bar record from GetHistory for GE today, 2009-Feb-23, should then have the open time of 23:00 UTC for it's Timestamp property?
