Hi Firstly are the Session time settings in chart settings referencing my current time zone ie UK time or the market im trading time Zones?

Im using TPO charts for Emini S&P500 futures and Crude Light Futures and want to set the session times but am confused whether I have to allow for the time difference.

What are the session times for CL and Emini and do I have to allow for time difference in time settings.

Many Thanks

Dean

The Session times reference the time zone you've set.
The global time zone is set here:
Time Zone Setting: General Information
You can override the global setting for individual charts:
Time Zone Setting: Using Different Time Zone in Individual Charts

What are the session times for CL and Emini?

Times listed here are US Central (Chicago)

do I have to allow for time difference in time settings?
It's easiest if you set the Sierra time zone to Chicago time, and use Session times for Chicago.
This avoids confusion at US Daylight Savings Time changes, which differ from UK.
If you use another time zone setting, you'll have to allow for the time difference.
