So I've read through all the instructions and several threads about global time zone settings, and session time settings. I'm setting up for forex market chart books. I've noticed if I use my time zone, MST-7, no matter what session time I use in the chart settings the date is wrong on the time scale. I followed the instructions on the help to open a new chart and I see the prescribed time settings there. After all this, the only way I've been able to get the first candle of the day to show the right date is to use the +3 time zone. Any ideas to get the dates times to sync up on the real time? It's parting data on the daily candles between days, which I don't want.

We really need to understand why you consider the Dates wrong. Can you post an image of the chart showing this and provide a simple explanation. Any ideas to get the dates times to sync up on the real time?

I uploaded two samples of the 60M chart. They are labeled with the settings I used. I basically need to figure out what settings to use for all my charts to have the proper time zone and session time for the forex markets. It seems that no matter what session time I use the date time stamp doesn't post on the proper candle UNLESS the time zone is set to Baghdad +3 AST. Is this because I need to set the time zone to the broker's time zone for data feed? Subsequently some data is being posted in the wrong daily candle if I don't have the proper time zone and time session set. I just want to make certain how to set this one. Thank you for your prompt reply. |

From what we can determine, there is a misunderstanding. According to the Time Zone you have set, whatever chart bar starts a new day, according to the actual time, will be labeled with that date for that particular date. This is just how it is and there is nothing you can do to change this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
