Hi,

I am working with the demo, I am charting eurodollars and have run across a problem, I use the primary session which where I live (Arizona, which does not observe Daylight Savings Time) starts at 6:20 am and ends at 1:00 pm, last week before DST started it was an hour earlier (we switch between mountain and pacific). Anyway, any sessions I look at that are a week old or more are incorrect because they start 1 hour into the session. Is there a simple way to set this up to maybe est. and then just switch back and forth for DST, the time on the bottom of the chart doesn't need to be accurate for where I live, but the previous sessions data has to show the correct session.

Also, is there a way to plot only the vwap, not any of the standard deviations with it? I have been messing with this for quite a while and can't figure it out.

I appreciate it,

Thank you

Jim

The only answer to this is that you must set the chart to the same Time Zone where that symbol trades. There is no other possibility. This is the only way to solve this kind of problem.

The product trades at the CME, I have chosen Chicago as the time zone in Data/Trade Service settings, and used the pit hours of 720am-200pm in the chart settings and still get unwanted bars from the middle of the night, I want only the pit hours displayed and must have correct data going back and forth between DST and non-DST. Very confused.

Thanks,

Jim

Thank you, that took care of it, I was entering 1:59, rather than 13:59.

Thanks for your help.
