I set timestamp to local PC clock but set the time zone following @ New York EST, but when come 1st Sunday of Nov, the time on chart is not changed accordingly. I had to changed the setting at Data/Trade to other time and switched back to NY EST time, then the time is correct according to DST. Is it should auto correct itself ? Tq Support.

We do not fully understand this.

Are you saying the charts did not reflect the Time Zone you set Sierra Chart to until you changed to a different time zone and back to the time zone you wanted? This does not make sense. The charts will reload on a time zone change.

yes.
I'm located in Malaysia, set timestamp to LOcal PC, but set time zone following New YOrk EST
previously , let say in Oct 2013..chart is following time zone setting.
But after 3rd Nov (1st Sunday) USA is in day Saving Time, but chart time axis X still show the same time unchanged (not DaySavingtime)
Has to change to other zone and back the same NY zone as before..now time is correct to DaySavingTime.
I dont have picture now, but I will prepare for it next time. Tq Support Eng.

If you are OK now, then we can consider this closed.

If not, then it would seem as though possibly there is a problem with the Time Zone related settings on the computer. Refer to help topic 38 here:
