I have to change my Time Zone to 'New York' to get the correct candle close. But the problem is that the time on my chart changes to US time.

I need to see the New York candle close but my platform time needs to be my local time (London).

How?

This is when the system is set to New York Time Zone:

This is when the system is set to London Time Zone:

The candle structure is completely different depending on which timezone is selected. I need the candles to be based on the New York close BUT I need to see my local time on the horizontal time scale.

Therefore use the London time zone in the chart and adjust the Session Times correspond with New York trading times:
Chart Session Times


So at this point in time there is 5 hours difference between the two time zones , so you would set the session Start Time 5 hours ahead of what you would normally use in the chart if it had the New York Time Zone.
