Post From: trying to verify whether my 2-hour bars are aligned

Hi, I am still trying to verify whether my 2-hour bars are aligned correctly after changing the time zone settings.

In TradingView, my 2-hour candles are aligned on odd hours (for example: 1:00, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00, 9:00, etc.).

When I use the Crosshair in Sierra Chart and click on a candle, it shows a time of 03:00. At first glance this seems correct, but I am not completely sure whether Sierra Chart is displaying the candle start time, end time, or if there is still a one-hour offset somewhere in my chart settings.

My goal is to have the Sierra Chart 2-hour bars aligned exactly the same way as TradingView.

Could you please confirm:

1. Does the time shown by the Crosshair represent the start time of the bar or the end time of the bar?
2. If a 2-hour candle shows 03:00, does that mean the bar covers 03:00–05:00?
3. Based on the screenshots I provided, does the chart appear to be correctly aligned on odd hours (1:00, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00, etc.), or is there still a one-hour offset?

I just want to be absolutely certain that my 2-hour candles are aligned correctly.

Thank you.
