Hi All,

Im based in Australia and so whilst the support documents mention you must change your PC time zone, I cannot do this because that would break alot of other things. I'm wanting the Y Axis time information for Futures trading but despite subscribing and deleting and redownloading the data, I'm still seeing the incorrect time in the charts (see screenshot)

Time in NY should be 1.29am but the chart is showing 9.29

Thanks!

No, the documentation does not say this anywhere:
so whilst the support documents mention you must change your PC time zone

Since this is a US futures market you need to set the time zone for the chart itself, to US Eastern:

And make sure the Session Times are still set correctly after:
