What's the recommended approach for setting all the Sierra Chart session times using my Data/Trading service (IB).

Use a timezone that is the same as the location of the exchange you are are trading.

Then set the session times to match those used in that timezone.

This is important to avoid issues when changing to/from Daylight Savings Time.

Thanks Sawtooth

My recollection may be incorrect but in the past, it seems that users could go to File >> Data/Trade Service Settings and from there,
there was an option to select a checkbox that allowed users to "download settings from Data/Trade Service" or a similar functionality.

This feature would automatically configure all charts to the session settings, adjusted for the user's preferred time zone, eg NY time.
I'm wondering whether this functionality in some form exists and, if so, seek guidance on how to access and utilize it.

You can set symbol-specific default time zones and session times here:
Global Settings >> Symbol Settings

Global Symbol Settings: Applying Global Symbol Settings to Existing Intraday Chart
