Changing the Time Zone in a Chart

You can choose to display your charts in your local time or in the exchange's time. This does not affect how data is stored; it only affects the display of the data. The default display time is your local time (TradeStation determines your time zone from your computer's time settings). Also, you cannot mix the two time zones in a single chart; for example, you cannot plot one symbol in local time and another in the same chart with exchange time.

  1. Activate a Chart Analysis window.
  2. From the menu, click Data > Edit Symbol. The Customize Symbol [symbol] dialog is displayed.
  3. For a Multi-Data chart, the Customize Symbols dialog will display a listing of symbols you have plotted in Data1, Data2, etc.
    • Select the symbol you want to edit.
    • Click Customize to open the Customize Symbol [symbol] dialog.
  4. Click the Settings tab.
  5. From the TimeZone drop-down list, select the display time: Local or Exchange.
  6. Click OK or Close. The change takes effect immediately.
