Hi there,
I understand that in the initialise section, having self.AddForex("EURUSD", Resolution.Daily) will call the currency price on every day period.
I would like to know if it is possible to make the forex trading happen on every 6 hours
Thanks alot!

The conventional resolutions are tick, second, minute, hour and daily. For other time frames like 6-hour resolution, you can use the data consolidator.
