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: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1548146288652.png This is when the system is set to London Time Zone: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1548146240158.png 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. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-01-22 08:38:16

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.
