Hello
I am traveling with my PC and I changed PC time zones to local time ( Kyrgyzstan) for accuracy as I am going to stay in this zone for a while.
But my message log says that there is a delay of 1 sec. I also kept a region to Canada to keep all apps for local content as I am Canadian.
The question is if region is different then local time zone will it cause a delay of 1 sec?
Also I use a sub instance and message log on my sub instance does not show a delay. How accurate is it? Can sub instance be faster then main program? Sub instance has same data service as main program.
Thank you in advance

Perfectly fine to use whatever time zone you want on your computer.

You can set an independent time zone within Sierra Chart:
Time Zone Setting

The delay you are seeing is just a difference in your computer's clock to the clock that is used by the exchange. A delay time of 1 second is not an issue. If you have any issues with an apparent delay, use the NTP feature to set your computer clock:
