Am in New York time zone. Have data services set to Chicago time zone. Have Chart Settings/Advanced Settings/Time Zone:Chicago time zone.Have Global Symbol Settings set to Chicago time zone. Chart is E-Mini S&P500.

For Chart Settings/Main Settings/Session Times:
Start Time: 08:30:00
End Time: 15:59:59 (or 15:14:59)
Evening Start: 17:00:00 (or 15:59:59)
Evening End Time: 08:29:59

Starting at 17:00, no positions or working orders. Any working orders in place before 18:00 are cancelled at 18:00:01, according to the chart time. A new position is not affected. It seems the Trade Window considers 17:00 the start of the next day, which it is, but is using New York time, which is my system time,as 17:00 Chicago time is 18:00 New York time.
I haven't been able to figure out why it does this. I put partial trade log below.
