Hello
I’m on the west coast. How do I change my time zone settings so that the time displayed in charts matches my local time?
Is there anything that I can add to charts and watch tiles to indicate Market Open & Close, via scripts or otherwise?
When back testing, is there a way to limit trades to regular trading hours?
With my trading account, I can only place trades during regular trading hours, so when analyzing charts and testing it is helpful to reflect what I can actually do.
Thanks!
Hi Christine,
Which markets are you trading and on which feed?
I’m actually working on rewriting our IQFeed interface - and lookging at Time Zones this week. I’ll see if I can put in a local time option but I can’t promise it. Time Zones are a beast to work with when we have to account for daylight savings shifts etc.
All the best
Mathew
Hi Christine,
Here’s how you can adjust the session times to only show data during market hours:

To highlight the first bar of the day on an intraday chart you can enable the grid lines (keyboard shortcut CTRL+G):

This example has been set to show Date lines only, with both Major and Minor Intervals set to Day on a 15 minute chart:
