Hello,

First of all there are two settings that controls display of interval bar:

>From the User's Guide:
Tools->Preferences
Intraday tab

Align custom minute bars to regular market hours - when checked AmiBroker will trim pre-market custom interval bar so new bar will
begin exactly when trading hours start. Trading hours can be set per-database in File->Database Settings->Intraday settings. Let's
say that we have 45-minute bars. Without this setting we would bet bars starting at 9:00, 9:45, 10:30, 11:15 etc. When this is
turned on and trading starts at 9:30 we have guarantee that bars will be aligned to 9:30: 8:45, 9:30, 10:15, 11:00

Time compressed bars show bar's end date/time - decides if we want bar end time displayed or bar start time displayed. Lets say that
30 minute bar covers 9:00:00..9:29:59. When it is unchecked AmiBroker will display time of this bar as 9:00, when checked it will
display 9:29

Second thing is that interval bars are produced from trades. Let's say that we have 30 minute bar
from 9:00.00...9:29.59. And lets say that during this pre-market trading given security has only ONE trade
at 9:10.00. In that case amibroker will display 9:10 as the time of the bar to show you that first or last trade
inside given bar (depending on setting described above) occured at given minute.
