Post From: Historical daily chart bar new bar creation time

Hi,I often had problems the last 3 years because I want to have the usual candles start time for higher timeframes >2h, as usual with most brokers and markets. But I do not live ET but CET. Firstly, it is difficult to find that you should check off “apply intraday session to intraday chart” so that all markets have the same open time.
I think you should really work on the following points, because at the moment I can't find a solution to my still existing problem:

most markets focus on NY close ET time in terms of bar time. I am CET. but I would like to have my time displayed. But then I have the problem that the candle times >2h are not displayed correctly.
It is not good that the >daily is based on the 24h mode of your own time zone. i think you should definitely add an additional option, so:

-own time zone
-time zone of the candle time

Regarding your last email, I now have to enter the open time for all symbols individually. with the 30 markets that I trade in parallel, I simply don't have the time to do this. In addition, errors often creep in here.

I think Sierrachart is great and I do a lot with it, but this issue is not acceptable so far because:

What if I want to trade gaps but just don't see a gap on a higher timeframe because it's complicated due to the above problem. I have to check Tradingview for the candle times and they have very good offers at the moment.

Please be so kind and solve this issue by an additional option as mentioned above, as ET time ist the ruling timezone for most markets. Thank you

I think the fastest solution would be an additional option within: chart settings-session times->below chart data type: "set timezone for historical chart same as exchange" to yes .
The bartime for intraday chart is already adjustable with Session/evening start time. So you just have to work on the historical chart settings.
And if someone really trades many different markets with really different timezones, as Dax40 and then Nasdaq, these people can use your mentioned symbol settings. But it would be easier if we had the option to select the bartime timezone for CME,EUREX etc. each regarding the historical chart bar time.
