I am in Singapore (GMT+8), how should I set the time zone on the chart so that I can synchronize the EST time on the chart? Currently, the default time zone is UTC. |

Just a suggestion... What I did to simplify things is set my pc to NYC time with daylight savings options... This way I can set my feeds appropriately, and look at my computer clock relative to news announcements. As you will most likely eventually conclude, this is the best, simplest, easiest and convenient solution that will help ensure you wont have time issues regarding time zones.

Sorry let me clarify. I am saying if you set your computer clock to new york time, then everything is consistent. Then you would want sc to be new york time also. Because if you dont you probably need to change your time settings 2 times a year when daylight savings occurs, and also you will have to mentally adjust when news events occur, since most sites that show news events will show them in new york time... for news events I use ForexFactory.com Anyways, if you decide that you want to change the session times of your chart, you go to "Chart Settings" -> "main settings". If you want to globally adjust your datafeed, then you go to your Data/Trade Service settings, and there, you put in your time zone. its on the right side of that settings window. I currently live in South East Asia, and trade the USA markets. I keep my Data Trade Service settings to new york time, and also set my computer clock to new york time zone. That way, my computer thinks its in new york. If I want to have the current time in my personal time zone, I use my world clock applications that shows the time in the country that I am personally residing in at the moment. I travel a lot, so it makes sense for me to do it this way. Also I am very keen on news event times, and I want to make sure I never make a mistake regarding when a news event occurs due to a time zone error or miscalculation. |

When attempting to set a custom time zone, nothing happens. I'm trying to use the UTC -3:00 offset but when I hit apply or ok, no changes are made. What could the problem be?
