According to Chart Settings (Session Times) my session should start at 08:30:00 and End at 15:15:5. I am in Los Angeles time. Can you tell me what my proper settings should be?

I have reset my time to Los Angeles time, but my charts still show New York time. So right now it is 10:22 A.M. (Los Angeles time) and my chart is showing 10:40:22 TIME. Why, what am I doing wrong. Also can you please tell me HOW to fix this instead of just pointing me to documentation.

It's best practice to set the Session Times to that which the exchange you're trading uses. This avoids issues at Daylight Savings transitions. IOW, if you are trading the ES, use Chicago session times of 08:30:00 to 15:14:59 Then you must also set the time zone to Chicago... You can use a global time zone or set each chart to a specific time zone. To set the Global Time Zone, go to Global Settings >> Time Zone Settings To set a chart's time zone, focus the chart, and go to Chart Settings >> Session Times tab >> Time Zone. Choose 'Use Global Time Zone', or a specific one. However, since you are in Los Angeles, and it transitions to/from Daylight Savings time on the same days, you could use sessions times of 06:30:00 to 13:14:59 and a time zone of Los Angeles.... The point is: You need to match the session times to the chosen time zone, where both coincide with the exchange's session times and time zone. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-03-25 20:59:20

Statman43, which instrument are you trading? stocks? futures? So right now it is 10:22 A.M. (Los Angeles time) and my chart is showing 10:40:22 TIME
it doesn't make any sense, today is Saturday, market is closed. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-03-26 02:50:02
