I have my system set to New York time, and Windows to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Transitions. This is fine for CME futures chartbooks. My FX chartbooks are structuted around London time, including Time Related Studies. Because of different times for transitioning to/from Daylight Saving, 4 times a year I would need to manually adjust everything. I see from the help documentation that I can set the Global Settings for FX Chartbooks (it is a different SC Installation) to London time. I did not see it specifically mentioned that the SC Servers will automatically adjust for Daylight savings transitions for the different time zone, in this case the UK. For example on 29th October, the UK will move clocks back, so my FX London session start time which is 0800 London Time will change from 0300 EST to 0400 EST, then the next week US adjusts and it will go back to 0300 EST. Since I do not see the local computer time stamp option for the SC Forex Data Service, can I take it that the SC Servers take care of this transition? |

All data is stored in UTC time and you can set it to whatever time zone you want. Refer to: Time Zone Setting In the case of Historical Daily data, the time zone for the open to close for the daily bar, this is according to the time zone of the exchange. The Forex data uses the US Eastern time zone. But you can always use Intraday charts to work around this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
