Okay, looks like my original expectation with SC export was not correct. AFAIK when you export intra-day data its supposed to be GMT/UTC, irrespective of your data source (exchnage) or local time zones. (Source: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ImportExport.html#Notes) 

However when I check the exported txt file, I can see that the time stamps are in PST. I exported the file at 12:53 PST the last bar in the file is time stamped 04/14/2013, 00:53:54, that's PST.

I have not tried this yes, but supposedly you can import in PST and fix the TIME to GMT/UTC or anything else, maybe it helps.

Ohh btw, I dont think I thanked slush for the great tool. Thanks man!!! I know I haven't made any money off this, but with SC' tech analysis and goxtool execution there may be a chance

No problem, both the files should be there now.. I will try to updated them if there is demand for it.

Okay the one thing I have seen is that if the tool tried to download from the very begining (i.e. start=0) then fails much more then say its trying to catchup for the last couple of days. So It may help to import recent data and then try to download the rest and re-sync.

I have uploaded two files in this folder. one SCID and one exported txt file up until the last few minutes  (Apr 14 2013 12:53 PST). Hope it helps.

I would use a headless linux server (ubuntu) and run goxtool on it.

Its terms of hardware not much needed as you are running linux and python any atom processor can do it. However if you serious about trading and are going to do some technical analysis on the market, I would go with a dual monitor windows workstation with ssd and develop strategies on it and then push the live trading to server remote (linux) server.

And if you looking at technical analysis tool, you can look into sierracharts with slush mtgox datafeed plugin.

As you can see am biased with linux and python.

Right now, its what the other guy is willing pay. because people are using btc as a commodity like gold, because it shares two very important traits of a commodity 1. You can't easily fake it and 2. its rare, only 21million, 1/2 is out and other 1/2 will be mined at a exponentially slow pace, which is think is silly and a passing fad. It will stabilize once people start using it as a currency which is what you use buy a precious commodity and hoard it.

And of-course some of the early miners and "contract" miners have tons of coins too. remember the story where one of the early guys got hacked and lost 55000 coins am sure there are more.

I'll give this a try! Thanks!
