RTH and Time zone

[solare]

Hi i'm italian and i have a trouble with time zone and RTH session range today.

On my charts i use RTH session time, Rome timezone values, so i don't see the premarket chart sesssion.

Until the last week the market start 9.30-16.15 that correspond to 15.30-22.15

From yesterday our timezone had changed compared to US CME market timezone.

Today the market still start/end at 9.30-16.15 but a Rome local time correspond to 14.30-21.15 but obviously the chart don't let me see the first hour from 14.30 to 15.30 because the setup is the same of the last week

How i can set differents timezone in the same chart for differents days?

If isn't possible there is another solution ?

Excuse me for my poor english

Hello,

Your charts will be based off your local PC clock.

If you are experiencing issues after the European time change, you would need to go to your date/time settings and uncheck 'adjust for daylight time'. This should realign your local time zone to the CME time zone hour.

Alternatively, you could set your PC clock to the CME market time zone and leave your PC to adjust for daylight time savings, which should adjust automatically when this actually changes in the US.

Hello Matthew,

I have the same problem. I use a session template for the E-mini S&P that goes from 15:30 to 22:15 local time. After the time change today I had to change it to go from 14:30 to 21:15. Of course, that means all the previous days are now missing one hour of data and have an extra hour of Globex data that I don't want.

Is there a way to fix this that does not involve changing my PC time to something else? Because that would be quite annoying.

Hello Dommel,

Unfortunately with the time change, there is no other fix than adjusting the PC clock.

This should not cause any issues in the next two weeks when the US adjust their time.

Matthew, something on ninja don't run well.

Now i've deleted the DB folder to force the data reloaded from zenfire and set the pc time zone to GMT-5, the same of CME.

I've checked the CME US Index Futures RTH, it start from 9.30.

The US/CME time wasn't changed, my OS have the same timezone but the RTH session until 28/10 start at 8.30 and at 9.30 from 31/10. Isn't the same .... why ?

How the ninjatrader work with the timezone ?

Hello,

There may be some updates that need to apply to ensure you have the current Daylight Savings settings on your PC.

Please take a look at the following Windows KB article related to this subject and apply the patch listed: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2570791

Thank Matthew, after installed the patch all days have the same start hour.

I've setup my OS timezone to GMT-5 and now the time is about the 12.52m the same of CME group.

The RTH session for US index is 8.30-15.15

Start hour is now 9.30.

On 6 november i think i must change OS timezone to GMT-6, I must do something else on ninjatrader ?

solare,

Glad to hear that did the trick.

No you would not need to do anything else to NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader will reflect your local PC clock once that change has been made on Nov-6
