Yes, if you will be opening new charts rather than using a "Template" it would be best to change the Symbol Settings to be the hours that you want.

The Symbol Settings work a bit differently, in that you define the Time Zone in the Symbol Settings which is just the time zone of the times that are entered. That Time Zone is not used. This way, the system can do the conversion from those times to the actual chart time zone. Refer to the information for the Time Zone in the symbol settings here:
Global Symbol Settings: Symbol Settings

If you have your Sierra Chart Time Zone set to New York, then you would want your Regular Trading Hours session to start at the time that it starts in New York. For the CME Group, which starts the regular trading session at 08:30 Central US Time, this would be 09:30 New York time. So you would enter a start time of 09:30 for a chart that is set to New York time zone.
