Post From: What does session times mean in chart settings?

Was the time zone set individually in each chart and the charts were not set to use the Global Time Zone?

There is no possibility we would ever rely upon the operating system time zone. This would never happen. It is so problematic for so many reasons. And we completely fundamentally disagree with it.

However, we do not understand how using an offset from the operating system time zone accomplishes anything. When the operating system time zone changes, that can and will change the charts to a completely different and unintended time zone and a nonexistent time zone in some cases.

And when there are different daylight savings time rules between time zones, it is further nonsensical to even do this.

Also in newer versions of Sierra Chart, when you change the time zone within a chart, the Session Times automatically adjust by the change an offset of the difference between the two time zones. We verified right now that this does work properly.
