http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1619865624294.png Hello, I have the problem that the time scale in my Foot Print Chart only shows prices until 4pm. I like to extend the hours and have the chart seetings already set to 5pm but it does not show these price values. Any help is appreciated. |

Your chart looks to be set to CST/CDT timezone, so there will be no trade between 1600-1700 - https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500_contract_specifications.html As it is now, you are missing the first hour of trade from your chart not the last hour. Make sure the times are correct for the chart timezone, or change the chart timezone - Time Zone Setting |

Thank you very much for the fast response. I wanted to include the chart settings window but it wouldnt let me do the screenshot unless I closed it. So sorry for that. You are right that time zone is set to CST/CDT. But I still do not understand what´s wrong here. The session times for the chart are set to 9:30am until 5pm. The trading hours run until 5pm with the break from 4:15pm until 4:30pm in between. So why does my chart stop at 4pm? Trading continues after that in the chart seetings include the time until 5pm. |

What's wrong is the times you mention are eastern not central, you need to adjust by an hour.

Hi there, so you were right. I played around with the time zones and set it to News York -5 EST. Frankly, I still dont get why this is the right time zone that does the trick but thank you anyway. |
