Hello!
I bought WLD. Trying to use it.
And I got a question. Probably it was asked before but i could'n find it.
I attached the screen shot.
Thank you

Welcome to the forums.
Your understanding is correct: this data vendor timestamps its data at the beginning of each bar whereas Wealth-Lab always uses the end of the time period to timestamp a bar. There is no way to configure it. The design has always been like that.

Thank you.
One more question.
I couldn't find how to place order manually.
There are auto-place orders and alerts from chart scripts. But if I want to place my order manually, not from the strategy -
can i do it?

(Well, also there are orders triggered by tradable trendlines and the "Quotes for Paper Trading" tool.)
To place or stage an order manually, Wealth-Lab has a Trade Ticket panel (Ctrl+T). You can also right-click on a chart, select one of the trading options.

If we download bar data, are the bar timestamps at the start or end of the bars?
I found a post in the forum from 2012 asking this question, with this anwer:

(I could not see the whole post because it has an image which did not load.)
I am not clear about the result. Does it mean that the bars from data providers (such as Fidelity) provide bars with timestamps at bar start, and WealthLab shifts all of the timetags so that WL bar timestamps are at bar end?

Wealth-Lab assumes that data is timestamped at the end of the bar. Most data providers conform to this, including Fidelity.
At least some data vendors, namely Dukascopy and MetaTrader4, timestamp their dates as start-of-bar. When I became aware of this fact, I coded the provider to comply and timestamp the dates as end-of-bar.
