Hi SCE, quick question:

If the Time Zone setting (in Symbol Settings) for any given symbol is, say, New York (-5 EST/-4 EDT) but Global Settings->Time Zone Settings is Chicago (-6 CST) and the Chart windows used to request/load/save data for a market (both tick and depth data) are configured to use the Global TZ, will the data be saved with timestamps per Global TZ, not per Sym Settings?

All permanent storage, of any timestamp anywhere in Sierra Chart, whether it is an Intraday data file, or within a Chartbook is always in UTC.
