Hi,

I‘m having a problem exporting trading files.

I am in Costa Rica, CST (Central America), and I see my charts well aligned with the hour in my computer.

However
-When I export trading files, the time is OK in the activity Log, but when I open the file in my computer, I see the time and it is out of whack.
-I see a dissonance between the time on top of the window of my main window chart, but the computer time is set correctly.

Please advise. I‘m exporting files to tradervue for a mentorship and need to get the export files with accurate fill times to get certain stats.

Describe the specific command you are using within Sierra Chart to do this.

We do not understand this. What are you comparing to? Provide specific details.

Ok so...

I adjusted SC time settings to my time zone, which is Costa Rica, Central America (-6 UTC)

Adjusted the Data/trade settings

And adjusted chart settings

When I want to export my trades, I go to activity log, and everything seems fine. Time of each trade is OK.

But when I open the file downloaded to my desktop, time suddenly changes! And needs the -6 on each of the times of the trades. Every trade has +6 hours on the time at which I executed.

Please advise.
