I have about 4+ years of intra-day data that I have downloaded via Kinetick into Ninjatrader for various instruments, for each contract.
Over the period of time this data has been downloaded, I was in the US, Central timezone. All was good, except that now I live in the US, Eastern timezone.
So, I did a little test, I downloaded some data from Kinetick, with my PC timezone set to US, Eastern (data I had already downloaded with my PC timezone set to US, Central). I verified that the data is stored in Ninjatrader based on the timezone of the PC when it is downloaded.
I don't know why, but for some reason I expected that maybe the historical database in NT would be in say, UTC, so that if you change the timezone of the PC, years of historical data are not "wrong," but this is apparently not the case.
So, I'm wondering what to do. I could just leave my PC timezone set to US Central, but that messes up other things now that I live in US Eastern. Just downloading all the data again isn't an option because Kinetick only goes back 2 years. Any other options? I was thinking I could export all the data, then import it back, but that is a lot of work.
